[digiKam-users] Select pictures from the map

[Steffen Hack]

Hi!

 

I installed DigiKam to organize my pictures but I have some problems.

 

 

This is working:

1.       On the left panel I select an album (or all albums including the subfolders)

2.       In the main window I open the preview pictures and select one of them

3.       On the right panel I can see in the map view the position oft he selected picture.

 

This is NOT working:

1.       Again I select an album (or all albums including the subfolders) on the left panel

2.       In the main window I open the map view

3.       Now I would like to select a picture on the map in the main window to see the preview on the right panel but there is no option…

 

How can I watch previews of my pictures by clicking them on the map?

I need this feature to find all my pictures I took the last years at a choosen place on the map.

 

Would be great if someone could help me.

 

Kind regards / Mit freundlichen Grüßen,

Steffen Hack

I had trouble with map view as well. 

Alan H kindly replied to my query with the following which solved it for me, hope it helps you as well -

As a new user of digiKam myself my initial intuition to this feature was the same, and somewhat frustrating. BUT, I did find the answer in the user manual. Using digiKam 6.2.0 in Windows 10…

-the left sidebar map has 2 rows of icons/buttons below it (11 & 3 – make sure pane is sufficiently wide).

-second row of 3 is labelled “Search by area:” – full rectangle; half rectangle; “X” button

-you must select either the full or half rectangle

-if digiKam opens with the full rectangle selected and you click on a marker/thumbnail nothing happens

-with the full rectangle selected you must create a frame around the markers you want – click/release, drag, click.

-creates a blue rectangle around selected markers and displays thumbnails in center preview pane.

-clicking on half rectangle lets you click on just one marker/thumbnail to display its contents in the preview pane.

-clicking on “x” deselects selection but not the actual icon/button.

 

Maybe not intuitively obvious but after getting used to it, it works well, for me anyway. Hope this helps. Anybody more experienced please correct if wrong.

Hi Alan,

 

Yes, this feature it’s really good hidden…

But now it’s working for me, too.

Thank you for your help.
