[digikam] [Bug 380331] New: Wishlist: Show/edit star rating and Title/Captions in Preview

[bugzilla_noreply]

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=380331

            Bug ID: 380331
           Summary: Wishlist: Show/edit star rating and Title/Captions in
                    Preview
           Product: digikam
           Version: 5.6.0
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Preview
          Assignee: [hidden email]
          Reporter: [hidden email]
  Target Milestone: ---

It would be great to be able to see/edit the current star rating as well as
title/caption in Preview mode. Right panel can be left for Tags Tree then and
there will be no jumping from tab to tab required.

Stars are easy to set using hot keys but to see the current rating you have to
either go back to thumbnails view or switch right panel to Description tab.

Title/Caption fields with small font would look very nice under the preview.

Please consider.

Here is a sketch of what I mean:

It probably won't be needed if this suggestion implemented though:

I don't agree with your mockup.

In fact the way to make a canvas overlay with all properties from right sidebar
duplicate again the way to operate.

All this properties are already changeable through the context menu, the
shortcuts, and the sidebar. An canvas overlay will always bloat the most
important content in digiKam : the image. This is not the case with all others
solution.

I vote for no...

Fair enough. I just thought when you are able see the title and the caption and
the tags..and the rating, scrolling through pictures is like reading a story.
The sidebar is not very visual and it might be minimized on small (laptop)
screens.
If tags and ratings can be seen in thumbnails view why wouldn't make them
visible in Preview (optional)? Right panel stays there for both thumbnails and
preview modes anyways.

Again, small font and transparency help to keep items away from your eyes
unless you look at them specifically. Also, this could be optional similar to
the text under thumbnails

I have all this information (optionally) in a top bar where the thumbnails are
shown in a horizontal list. I am unable to hide this bar in Preview Mode, how
did you do that?

Ctrl + T

To be honestly I forgot about the thumbbar...

To be honestly, the thumbbar is pretty useless.
It takes too much space and it only shows 1.Thumbnails  2. Star rating
(editable) 3. GPS icon
Considering that an average user probably won't care about thumbnails in
Preview mode it is too much to give up about 10% of the screen  for an ability
to see/set star ratings.
