        AssignedTo: digikam-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: f.faber-pro ifrance com

The goal is to lower issues with persistent selections in the camera import view ( cf http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=131036#c7 ).
Indeed by adding persistent selection, a user wiling just to see informations about an image, will automatically select the image for download.

One way to solve this issue ( i.e allowing user to consult some images properties without slecting the image for import by inadvertance ), is to display a tooltip when hovering the image like in the album.
IMHO the exact same tooltip should be use. So like in the album view, when the mouse is on top of an image, the tooltip is display allowing the user at least see main infos about the images ( digital camera used, date, settings for the photo ). For more advanced properties, the user will just need to select the image and use the tabs.
