[Digikam-devel] thumbnailing (again)

[Thorsten Schnebeck]

Hi,

when using a big flashmemory or an image tank with hundreds of pictures 
digikam (cvs-trunk) has problems to generate the thumbnails in the download 
manager. Everytime I plug in the card/cam/image tank the download manager 
creates the thumbnails from the first image to the last image. OTOH the 
manager identifies the new images by showing a star-symbol

So, it seems to be useful
- to create the thumbnails of new images first,
- to create the thumbnails of the images that a part of the current view,
- to have a button to interrupt thumbnailing otherwise I can wait a really 
long time until I can operate again in the downloadmanager. The second part 
seems already realized in standard album view of digikam.

When using a 20GB image tank the download manager becomes unusable.

Oh and a small graphic bug: When clicking in the background of the download 
area I get a 1x1 pixel selection. I think only dragging and not clicking 
should span a selection area(?)

Bye

  Thorsten
