My workflow <br class="">when importing images (and videos) into Digikam might reflect this a <br class="">little - I find myself constantly switching between tabs in Digikam to <br class="">perform simple image management / organizational tasks.<br class=""><br class="">I think this can be improved a lot by modifying the layout and usability <br class="">of Digikam's "Properties" sidebar (the top one on the right) and <br class="">converting it into a summary-/ dashboard kind of sidebar which covers <br class="">80-90% of all requirements in one single place. Currently it is just a <br class="">list of image and file properties and not used for editing at all - <br class="">which makes it kind of superfluous (IMHO).<br class=""><br class="">I have created a mockup of how this sidebar can be improved by <br class="">incorporating simple editing tasks. The idea is that for simple asset <br class="">management tasks (adding titles, ratings and tags, editing dates and <br class="">viewing basic image metadata) you *only* need this single sidebar. The <br class="">idea is *NOT* to squeeze all possible metadata into one dialog.<br class=""><br class="">This is a little inspired by iPhoto's organization of metadata which I <br class="">found quite usable.<br class=""><br class="">Please have a look and tell me what you think.<br class=""><br class="">Thanks!<br class=""><br class=""><br class=""></div></div></blockquote></div><br class=""></div></div></body></html>
