Interesting information, I was not aware of all of this as it is the first time I use this kind of parameters in the advanced search.<br><br>And why any edit check in this kind of fields, by the way? It'll be more convenient (and easy for the developers I guess) to let the user enter whatever values he/she wants. At worst, there will be no result!<br>

Good trick! Thank you Jean-François.<br>
<br>
I had the impression Digikam only knew the "real" values as it goes from<br>
f/8 to f/11 and such when I used the '+' and '-' keys; it probably<br>
automatically proposes the values that are available in the pictures<br>
recorded in its database.<br>

Well, not exactly. The field editor logic, when using the '+' or '-' keys or the spin buttons, loops on the standard values serie, 4, 5.6,<br>
8, 11, 16, 22, etc.<br>
This uses plus or minus 1 EV increments. Perhaps plus or minus 1/3 EV<br>
should be more suitable and more close to cameras settings.<br>
(The ISO sensitivity field uses +- 1/3 EV, e.g. 800, 1000, 1250, 1600,<br>
and not just 800, 1600.)<br>
<br>
But all this is just typing help and as long as it's possible to input<br>
user typed values, things are Ok.<br>
<br>
>From my point of view, what is a real restriction is that input is locked into a predefined range of values.<br>
For aperture setting, the max value is f/128.0 and this is probably<br>
ok for most lenses.<br>
But the ISO setting field limits to 6400, and the exposure time field<br>
limits to 1/1000s. With somewhat strange behaviour, if you try to<br>
input 1/2000s, the editing corrects into 1/2s :-(<br>
<br>
Maybe this should go on a wish list, as with modern cameras, values<br>
of ISO 12800, or 1/2000s shutter speed are possible and there seems<br>
to be no way to do searches for such values.<br>
And a wish list should also consider what you mentionned, i.e. the possibility of setting the same value as mini and maxi.<br>
<br>
