Thanks a lot for this feedback, I'll provide answers for the part concerning Versioning.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Sep 8, 2010 at 19:51, Sven Burmeister <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:sven.burmeister@gmx.net">sven.burmeister@gmx.net</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>Versioning:<br>
I found versioning when saving an image, so everything fine here, since one<br>
does not need that feature if one does not save images. However since I did<br>
not find a "save" item anymore in the file menu I thought that "new version"<br>
replaces "save". Thus I was surprised to see that the digikam album view<br>
showed both versions since I expected "new version" to "overwrite" the<br>
original, i.e. that the album view would only show the new picture.</blockquote><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">

Thinking about it it does make sense though to be able to have multiple<br>
visible versions a picture, e.g. for comparing them on the light table.<br>
However I think that "overwriting" is a valid use case as well because I do<br>
not want to see the original in the album view if I corrected some colour or<br>
contrast in the picture or resized it. I just want to see the final version. </blockquote><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
<br>
Thus I think that there should be a "save" item which "overwrites" the<br>
previous version, i.e. hides it in the album view and there should be the "new<br>
version" item which does exactly what it does now, i.e. duplicate the picture<br>
and create a separate version of it.<br></blockquote><div><br>
There is an option for exactly this in the options menu. You can either
have all of the version visible, or have only the latest version
visible. But this is not fully implemented yet. It is ready though, we
just need a few database queries for that and few lines of code here and
there and it will be working. Default behaviour will most probably be
keeping only one version visible (or more as you can create a whole tree
with several branches).<br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">

The album view just showed a "?" as icon at the bottom-right of the thumbnail<br>
for the new versions. And I think that the versioning tab is too hidden, i.e.<br>
clicking on that little new icon or right-clicking the image should give<br>
access to the versions or open the versioning tab. At least "revert to<br>
original" should be available from the right-click menu. There is a toolbar<br>
button in the image editor but the album view lacks that feature.<br></blockquote><div><br>Hm, there should be an icon for now, not "?". Anyway, this will get replaced once the thing described above is done, there will be different marking of versions. About the context menu - at least the revert menu item could be there. Good idea, thanks.<br>

Within the image editor I found the following:<br>
- the text next to the thumbnails in the "versions" tab is black even for the<br>
dark theme, so it's black text on black background. (The same is true for the<br>
album view's standard toolbar btw)<br></blockquote><div><br>Ok, I'll set it to theme color.<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
- if one creates a new version of the picture the new thumbnail is not added<br>
to the "versions" tab until one clicks on another picture in the preview pane<br>
and back.<br></blockquote><div><br>Yes, this is work in progress.<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
- if one right clicks on one of the applied filters it shows a "remove filter"<br>
pop-up yet one cannot click it, i.e. nothing happens.<br></blockquote><div><br>Also work in progress. No ETA on this feature though as I'd like to make the versioning itself really stable and usable first.<br> </div>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
- clicking on the version thumbnails does not show them in the main editor<br>
window<br></blockquote><div><br>Known issue, WIP ;)<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
- saving a new version will add that thumbnail to the bottom of the preview<br>
pane instead of where it belongs according to the sorting.<br></blockquote><div><br>Now I'm just not sure what you mean by that...<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
<br>
That's it until now. I'll keep on using and testing and provide feedback if<br>
it's wanted.<br></blockquote><div><br>Sure they are, so please do test and report.<br><br>Thanks, Marty<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
