[Digikam-devel] Image properties dialog feature Request (kind of ...)

[Rainer Krienke]

Hello,

editing my photos I found a missing feature in digikam 0.8 (and before).  The 
problem is that when editing images the image properties dialog is modal, 
i.e. when changing from one image to another I have to close it and then 
reopen it to see the images meta data.

Exif data like ISO value and F-Stop etc are valuable information even when 
editing an image or comparing two images regarding quality of the photo.

But since the information dialog is modal one cannot eg just switch to the 
next image and compare it to the previous one as far as EXIF data is 
concerned. At the moment this is very cumbersome task since it includes 
closing the dialog, switching to the next image and reopening the properties 
dialog.

I would find it very helpful if either this dialog could be kept open and 
would always display the data of the currently edited image or if at least 
one could place some of the exif information (user selectable) in the bottom 
line of the image editor where at the moment e.g. the image name is placed. 

I know that I can go through the images EXIF-data outside the image editor, 
but then you only have previews of the image which is not enough to judge a 
photo.

Thanks
Rainer
