Hi,

I'm not sure if my naming the tool is correct. I am also not sure if
I'm the only one having the following problem:

I use google maps for viewing the location when putting images into
place or correlating a gpx file accordingly. However, whenever I want
to move the map, only the section that was shown is being moved, and
the new area that should contain the approprite map section doesn't
appear, there is only a blank space. This remains even after a long
time, so it's not just an issue of PC capacity. Only by enlarging or
reducing the view (click on "+" or "-") will fill the window again
with the entire map, but it's awkward...

When using google maps in a browser, it works perfectly.
With Marble it works fine, but I need often the satellite view, which
isn't available there.

Regards

Martin

Problem is reproducible here with digiKam 4.14.0

explaination : through libkgeomap that we use to switch map view from Marble/GoogleMaps, a konqueror web browser instance is created to display google maps.

I suspect a problem with konqueror web engine running in googlemaps. Something as changed in konqueror and now introduce dysfunctions. I'm sure, i use geolocation a lots here. with previous version, this dysfunction was not present.

In fact it's a refresh problem of web canvas.

The good news is that problem is not reproducible with current implementation of digiKam 5.0.0-beta1, where konqueror have been replaced by QtWebEngine, in the goal to reduce a lots all KDE dependencies. Over than 70% of KDE dependencies are dropped with digiKam 5.0.0, and it's not yet complete. See the list of current 5.0.0 dependencies for details :

https://quickgit.kde.org/?p=digikam-software-compilation.git&a=blob&f=DEPENDENCIES

There is also this entry in bugzilla :

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=317241

That i closed with 5.0.0 release.
