how to lock the zoom level in the right geolocation view?

rawi
Hi!
I'm new here and I'm new to digiKam but I've just managed to geotag a bunch
of photos (Version 2.5.0).

It is very nice to mark a photo in the list and to see right in the
geolocation view the place it has been shoot.

But it is a little annoying that the map zooms very close by each photo
change, not keeping the zoom level set before; so I must allways zoom out a
bit to see also the surroundings.

I found a button to lock the hole map position, this locks also the zoom
level, but that's not what I'm searching for.
I'd like to lock only the zoom level, but not the map position. Is this
somehow possible?

Thanks!

Hi Rawi,

I agree with you, the automatic full scale zoom factor isn't very
convenient. I don't know if keeping the zoom scale accross images
changes is possible. What I can say is that it was possible in former
versions of Digikam.
I have a DK 1.2.0 and a DK 2.2.0, and with the 1.2.0 version, once the
zoom factor is set, it remains unchanged when one selects another image.
With version 2.2.0, it doesn't.
This means that it's not a missing feature but a removed feature, and
removing functions in software is often leads by technical reasons.
But only DK developers could answer.

Regards,
Jean-François

Hi Jean-François,

thank you for the infos!

The lost feature, it's a pity!

I hope the DK developers will stumble upon this issue some time.

Nonetheless, DK is great!

It seems that the majority of the users don't use the geo-gps function, or don't bother about the zoom level.

Cheers
