could dk be even better?

[Rinus]

Hello people,

It feels aquard to ask for more if you have already the best!

album view and thumbnail behaviour:
In albumview I would prefer the possibillity to have bigger thumbs,  4
thumbs in the whole view area would be the ideal outline in my situation.

While scrolling the thumbs by clicking the slider bar, it would be nice
if the last broken thumbs at the under line would be unbroken lined out
at the top of the window by the next click. It can be done by resizing
the view window, but maybe it can be done by default.


quick tagging and arrowkey behaviour:
A very handy way to tag my pictures works as follows: I click on a thumb
to get the view window with one big picture and all the thumbs lined out
at the top.
Now I want all the pictures showing wildlife give the tag ¨wildlife¨
done by pressing just the letter ¨w¨ on my keyboard (I prepared the
shortcut). Now my righthand points to the ¨arrow right¨ key and my left
hand to the ´w´.  This works wonderfull. But now the next session, I
choose to filter the ¨wildlife¨ tag out by checking the tag and choosing
¨should not have this tag¨, so I will not be confused by work already
done. But now the arrow keys respond unexpectedly. After any applied
tag, the first touch of whatever arrowkey will bring the highlight back
to the first thumb on the outlined thumbs at the top, so it is no longer
possible to tag and go on with the next picture, unless I click on the
next picture instead of pressing the ¨arrow¨ key.


On a regular basis I come across such minor issues. I am not sure if
this is the right place to express them, if it is worth the effort to
express them and even not if it is appreciated to express them or that
it is just an annoyance.

I try for a while to decode the habits and culture of this community, it
stays a mystery sofar. I regard myself as open minded and not easily
insulted so please communicate.

Kind regards,
Rinus

This has been possible for ages in DK; just move the slider
(bottom right) to desired size. You'll find the same kind of
document zoom in applications like LibreOffice/OOo.

It's relaxed and cool here - and quite responsive. Allows
all kinds of wired ideas, but of course one is supposed to
make a minimum of reading/searching before asking on the
list. There are communities which are much less tolerant.

If messages/critics are constructive there's no need for
insults...

Thanks!

Iḿ using dk 2.0.0.4 on ubuntu. Putting the slider to its utmost richt
(saying 256) gives the result of 12 images on screen, not 4. Do I miss
something here?

Getting thumbnails more than 256 pixels (wide) could be
limited by the thumbnailing engine in use. Possibly you
could fiddle with some config files to get bigger ones, but
maybe you'd have to tamper with the source code.
