            Bug ID: 370093
           Summary: Opening a picture (double-click) in Showfoto (default
                    viewer) does not show the other pictures in the folder
                    (similar to Bug 221245)
           Product: digikam
           Version: 5.2.0
          Platform: MS Windows
                OS: MS Windows
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: showfoto
          Assignee: [hidden email]
          Reporter: [hidden email]

I installed digiKam-5.2.0-02-Win64.exe on Windows 10 64 bits (version 1607 -
Anniversary Update) and the described problem in the title here is (still)
happening.

It was already there with digiKam 5.1.0 (and Windows 10 version 1511). Opening
a picture with Showfoto does not show any of the other pictures in the folder,
only the picture I double-clicked to open it in Showfoto (configured as default
image viewer).

Also, the "Color", "Enhance", "Decorate" and "Effects" menus are not available
/ opening / scrolling.

FabRic

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Double-click a picture file in Windows Explorer > It starts showfoto.exe and
display that picture. OK.
2. The 'Thumbbar' is active but is only displaying the picture that was
double-clicked, so you have to...
3. Click the 'Open folder' button in the 'Toolbar', browse to the picture
folder, select it and open it.

This is working as expected but it would be nice to enable that picture viewer
behaviour by default when opening Showfoto by double-clicking a file.



Also - and being a new user I don't know if there could be a reason why those
are not enabled but - the "Color", "Enhance", "Decorate" and "Effects" menus
are not available / opening / scrolling.

It is probably a completely different issue, though ; I hope it's not on my
computer only.

This used to be the default behavior in old versions of showfoto and made it
very usable as the default photo viewer in KDE.
Please bring back this "feature".

Thanks

Still the same problem with digikam 5.5.0

(the menus - Color, Enhance, Decorate, Effects - are OK, though)

I am on Linux platform, and I got the same behavior. And the "Open Folder"
button does not default to current image's folder, instead, it remember the
last opening location. Also, there's no way to copy-paste current image's
location.

This design has make this tool rather useless in most day to day usage
scenario.

Gilles,

What do you think we should change the behavior? An "Open" option in the menu
would then be enough.

Maik,

I don't understand where is the problem here. I think we don't need more
option.

"File/Open" will open one file as expected.

"File/Open folder" will open all images from the folder as FabRic want.

So use the right File menu option depending of the context.

Note : it work also in CLI. if you pass an image it will open just the image.
If you pass a directory, it will open all image in this directory.

I think the user wants to open an image and in the thumbnail bar always all
images of the directory are to be displayed. It would not matter if you open a
folder or a image, only one "Open" option.

In this case, an option is Showfoto Setup dialog must be fine to use this
behavior while an image is open from a directory.
