digikam: wish to consume less place

[Christian Lorch-2]

Hello digikam,

I would prefer if digikam could use smaller fonts or icons to reduce need of
scrolling e.g. in the "Meine Albenliste", "Meine Stichwortliste" ... in the
left sidebar and the same with "Meine Stichwortliste" in the right sidebar.

I think that there is no general KDE desktop-UI-setting/switch for that
purpose.

What do others think about that feature beeing more space-efficient?

Greetings,

Christian

You can set the icon size in Settings->Album Settings->Sidebar thumbnail
size

"Meine Albenliste" = "My albums" (I dont have a english digikam running here
at the moment, found it on a screenshot of digikam 0.9.3 / 0.9.4 beta 5)

"Meine Stichwortliste" = could by "My Tags" (the short words you can assign
the pictures)

I hope its clear now!

ok, that was a very good hint! It solves the problem almost. Maybe there is
more possible to make it smaller without breaking the general
KDE-UI-guidelines :-)

Thanks!

What guidelines? You can change the icon size in every KDE application if
you like.

OK, was not easy to understand correctly :-)

I meant:
your hint is great

maybe digikam could be optimized in a general way to be less space-consuming
on the screen (for example the place where the fotos are shown in the
center of digikam: if all photos in a row a wide/ horizontal the next row
could start earlier; the big blue bar with title of album and time ...
could be smaller, etc.

Next point: I like it very much that all applications under KDE fit together
and not like other programs (mostly software for scanners, burning CD,
photo-software, ... running under Windows) showing their own "very cool"
style / toolkit. I hope that k3b and digikam stay clear in that way.

I hope its more understandable now?

Christian

In addition there is the issue about font size.
This is made very clear in the last paragraph of
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=121372#c2

For example, in my case, I have reasonably small fonts for
digikam, but it seems that these were also used for korganizer,
where the are too small. Fortunately, there the font size can
be easily adjusted....

This is partially issue of translation. English is very concise
language. Literal translation into another language may take much more
space. For example I am not sure if suffix "liste" is really necessary
in those strings - aber meine Deutschkentnisse is sehr schlecht;)

I didnt meant that the word "Meine Albenliste" is too long but as I read
your posting I think it could be shortened to "Meine Alben" (same with the
other ...liste).

Intentionally I meant that the part of digikam below the
different "...liste" is to space-consuming.

Christian
