This made me wondering that maybe if no images appear in the album
view, digikam should display some text with hints/explanations why
there might be no images. Has anyone thought of or suggested this
before? How many different scenarios can lead to a blank album view?
Maybe the text should be dynamic - for example instead of (or in
addition to) the red LED button text would show that "there are no
image displayed because of the currently applied filters." For search
results, digikam could show: "image search is in progress..." while
the search is running and "your search did not match any images".
