<p>Hi Gilles,</p>
<p>I just read through that, and while I value the excellent
documentation for Digikam, I think that from a user experience
perspective the user should not really have to consult the
documentation for such a mundane task ask to empty trash.
Especially since there is already an establish defacto pattern for
hos much of this stuff works in other applications.</p>
<p>From the documentation:</p>

<p>I propose a low effort improvement:</p>
<p>The buttons should at least have these specifications listed in
the "mouse hover hint". I don't know what the right term for this
is, but what I mean is that if the user hovers the buttons with
the mouse, there should be a quick help text shown. <br>
</p>
An example of where this is used elsewhere in the application is
here: <img src="cid:18601694d47874847d41" alt="">

discoverability of the application.</p>
<p><br></p></div></blockquote><div>Implemented in 7.x and 8.x<br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div><p>
</p>
<p>This is a quick fix. I still hope you will consider my original
proposal for improvement.</p>
