counting pictures in search results

Hi,

I just tested the new feature counting images in albums and tags from the svn
version of digikam. I find it very helpful and it works mostly fine, but I
observed that it does not (yet?) count the results of stored searches
("virtual albums"). Would be nice if we could have a count there, too.

Also the option to display all subalbums/subtags of a selected album/tag is
very convenient. In the resulting list of images, the thumbnails are listed
according to the albums they are stored in, and the different albums are
separated by these blue bars. This is helpful sometimes, but sometimes (when
your search or tag selection results only in very few images per album), it
creates clumsy looking and unnecessarily long lists. I would therefore
suggest to have an option to either display the album separators in such a
case or not. This would also give the user the opportunity to create virtual
albums which behave more closely to real albums.

Best regards,

Gandalf

We had that already implemented Gandalf, but it turns out that due to the
complexity the searches can take on, it resulted in too high a load on the
computer. Even with my 3.2GHz Core 2 Duo it would take 8 seconds to
recalculate the numbers every time you changed something. We therefore had to
abandon the inclusion of searches.

At least you can drag&drop images across those bars now :-)

Maybe one could (optionally) calculate that number
triggered by a mouse-over?
If this is done in the background this might not
slow-down things to much...

Best, Arnd
