Showfoto is separate application not used directly together with
digiKam, there is no UI need to keep interface so slavishly connected.

I move some part of discussion from the digikam-devel list:

But this data is in Simple view of Metadata. Only one short (as in mouse
way), click away.

I will elaborate: digiKam can be used by two sets of people: 1) making
many photos, highly interested in technical information because that
help them to judge quality of photo 2) amateurs more interested in
content and its meaning to them.

You and many current KDE/Linux users belong to 1st group. I am
belonging to 2nd and on technical list I am minority. However, in
general population of camera, users it is majority. OK, I am ending this
subject.

> #5 ==> I don't understand what you mean... Where is the problem exactly ?


In most situations Folder line will not give meaningful information.
Will show only last element of path, not showing whole Album path,
limiting usefulness of that element. I can only speak for myself but
when browsing images with right panel opened I am closing left
(organizational) panel - so don't have info about structure of digiKam
directory.
