           Summary: minimum width of sidebar too large
           Product: digikam
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: linux daniel-bauer com


Version:           0.9.0 svn (using KDE KDE 3.5.2)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

in the new version the sidebars in the album view have a much larger minimum width than before. I understand, that it is desired that the new infos can be displayed, but expecially the right sidebar takes very much space for it self.

Is it possible to remove this restriction, so I can freely size the width as I'd like to? Or at least make the minimum as small as it was in 0.8.1?

In most cases for example one knows what keywords one has and so it is sufficient to see only the beginning of the words and if they are selected. In 0.8.1 I can have 4 medium size preview pictures per line plus left and right sidebars open on a 19" screen. No I can have only 3, which makes the list 25% longer and less comfortable to overview, especially with large amounts of pictures in one album.

Switching the sidebar away and only display it when needed is no solution, because then the album view gets refreshed every time. This takes a long time, and then one has to scroll down to search the actual picture again (even when it was selected).
