Hi all,
Here we are a patch for common image plugin dialogs to use a sidebar tab with
plugins settings :
http://digikam3rdparty.free.fr/misc.tarballs/imgpluginssb.patch
Why using sidebar in image plugins ?
Well, i'm currently working to port to 16 bits the "Insert Text" plugin. The
settings area is big and reduce considerably the preview area. Rewritting
Inser Text settings widget can a long task...
Instead, you can use a sidebar tab. If after to have set all parameters you
toogle off the sidebar tab, you can use the full dialog size to render the
preview... With Insert Text plugins, render area is used to move the text at
the right place.
The patch add the sidebar to all colors plugins (Adjust Curves, White
Balance, BCG, HSL, RGB blanace, B&W, Auto-Corrections, etc.) and all plugins
using a guide (Free rotation, Shear, Perpective, Lens distortion, etc.)
The only one plugin witch not use it is Ratio crop tool, because the dialog
plugin don't inherit of common plugin dialog (this is an error and must be
fixed (:=)))
To apply the patch, just go to digikam/libs/dialogs, copy the patch into, and
run "patch -p0 < imgpluginssb.patch".
Please give me your viewpoint about this patch.
Gilles
