           Summary: Image Selection Dialog for Kipi-plugins not good for
                    multiple image selection
           Product: digikam
           Version: 0.7.3
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: vardhman gmail com


Version:           0.7.3 (using KDE KDE 3.3.2)
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs
Compiler:          gcc 3.3 
OS:                Linux

The image selection dialog for kipi-plugins shows three columns, the first one is for album/folder selection, second one shows filenames in the album and the third is the preview column.

When a single filename is clicked its thubmails is shown in the third column but on multiple image selection no thumbnails are shown and the user is supposed to click(select) images by filenames without seeing thumbnails(which is not only painful but impossible if plugin window is modal, as user can't see thumnails in digikam too)

Either the third column should allow multiple images thumnails to be shown as a scroll-list or better the second column shows thumbnails for selection instead of filenames.
