Tuning the interface settings

[tosca]

I'm currently trying to set up the interface in order to sort a great many photos as efficiently as possible.
Ideally, I'm working in full screen mode, and rating the photos, sometimes switching to the lighttable, and back, when I want to compare several pictures.

Is there a way to:
 - display the rate of the picture I'm currently viewing in full screen mode?
 - toggle easily between main window and lighttable (Ctrl-L), and back? When in full screen mode, there is no bottom bar, and I don't see any other way to go back to the main view than closing the lighttable window (Ctrl-W).
 - in the main window, I choose to not display the toolbar and menu bar, in order to get maximum height; and I use Ctrl-Shift-F to toggle between full-screen and normal mode. However, each time I come back to the normal viewing, the system re-displays the toolbar! And I have to do Ctrl-M to re-display the menu, then re-configure the "not display" of the toolbar, then hide the menu again... Why doesn't it keep the previous settings?

Thanks for your feedback and ideas,
Marie-Noëlle

Slideshow in 1.6.0 can do it (you can edit rate too)

Anyway you can change rate in thumbnails view. turn on right option in settings.

ALT+TAB.

I work with dual screen at home. It's very powerfull, and not too
expensive in fact.

yes staus bar is hidden. To fix it a new option must be added. please
file bugzilla.

It's due to a bug probably. I think there is already a file in bugzilla.

Not yet in the Fedora repositories. I hope it'll be there quite soon.

Well, the idea is to know - and possibly change - the rating when I'm viewing the photo in full screen mode.

I had delayed that for too long.
I just ordered a 23" to "play" with dual-screen. Hope it'll be there by the middle of next week.

Will do. I just have to think what would be more convenient considering how I use the interface.

I'll look for it, and post a comment maybe.

Is there a way to use keyboard shortcuts?

Cheers
