Summary: rethink about: Iptc.Application2.Urgency <==> digiKam
Rating
Product: digikam
Version: unspecified
Platform: unspecified
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo: digikam-devel kde org
ReportedBy: moritz.esser gmx de
Version: 0.9.0 beta2 (using KDE KDE 3.5.4)
Installed from: Unlisted Binary Package
Digikam 0.9.0beta supports IPTC urgency. That's a great thing, because any photograph could send you a bunch images (with iptc ratings) and you could see his ratings as stars in digikam.
But in digikam, there is an interpretation of the IPTC urgency to the digikam star rating:
Iptc.Application2.Urgency <==> digiKam Rating links:
digiKam IPTC
Rating Urgency
0 star <=> 8 // Least important
1 star <=> 7
1 star <=> 6
2 star <=> 5
3 star <=> 4
4 star <=> 3
4 star <=> 2
5 star <=> 1 // Most important
I think this is not usefull, because a user can't see a difference (on first view) between an imported urgency 2 and 3 image. (And vice versa!) This behavior will exclude digikam users from non-digikam companies.
I got two solutions: support 8 stars and be better than a lot of other tools or interpretate urgency 6, 7 and 8 as 1 star as a lot of other tools do.
