[Digikam-devel] 2nd suggestion

[maxime.delorme@tiscali.fr]

About point 1.2 
Why not disabled in grey the tags already assigned. IMHO a
checkbox is only needed if you want to assign more than one
tag at once. And as I supposed as soon as you have selected
one tag in the rmb, it disappears, so for me it's useless to
have checkbox.
For example in the following image the 
people tag is disabled and grey :

It should be something like that.

I'm not sure this is a good solution. The user is kept a bit
in the  
dark about the state of his tags that way. She wants to know
which  
tags are already there, whichever way. I don't think we
should take  
the possibility of seeing them directly away by hiding any
hint  
about which tags actually exist. And I don't think it is
enough that  
in thumbnail view you can see the list of assigned items
under the  
image. When assigning a tag, you simply need to have _all_
of them  
in view to make your tagging decision.

As it happens, Sébastien Laoût, the developer of Basket, has
the  
same problem in his app when tagging with the context menu.
He is  
right now working on a solution to the overlapping of icons
and  
checkboxes. You can look at the latest status of his patch
in these  
screenshots:

and  
http://www.uni-koblenz.de/~trilliti/bilder/checked_menuitems/Tags_Checks_New_Empty.png.
 
I have made another mockup that still improves on this idea
a bit,  
by drawing empty checkboxes for unassinged tags and also
aligning  
all text labels vertically, see it here:  
http://www.uni-koblenz.de/~trilliti/bilder/checked_menuitems/Tags_Checks_boxed_mockup.png.
 
Sébastien assured me that this can probably be realized (he
draws  
the icons himself and uses the space where the icon used to
be as a  
space for the checkmark).
He told me he would try to work it out and already proposed to  
forward his patch to you so you could also implement it in
digikam  
:).

Regards,
Tina
