           Summary: Adding a checkbox to ease image selection in "photo
                    importation dialog"
           Product: digikam
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Mandriva RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: f.faber-pro ifrance com


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.3)
Installed from:    Mandriva RPMs
OS:                Linux

At present, when the user want to import photo from a digital camera, to select severals photo he have to :
- select all photo, and unselected the ones he doesn't want
- use CTRL and SHIFT to select severals photo at one time

We must admit that not all users know how to use CTRL and SHIFT to select severals photos/files, or are not confident with this.

One solution could be to use a checkbox. Put a checkbox at the top ( or bottom ) of the photo. if the checkbox is checked, then the image is selecting. CTRL/SHIFT will also work of course. The goal is to ease the selection of severals image without having to use CTRL/SHIFT or the trick #1 ( select all -> unselected what you don't want ). Last but not least, trick #1 is not practical when you want to select less than 50% from a very long list of photos.
