           Summary: Add Right-MouseButton-menu entry to exit fullscreen
           Product: digikam
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: martinbern web de


Version:           0.9.2-final (using KDE KDE 3.5.7)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

If a digikam user changes to fullscreen mode using e.g. View/Fullscreen or the task bar button,
there's no obvious way to change back! How do you know about Ctrl-Shift-F, if this
was not used to change to fullscreen? There's no hint and the user might just end up
changing to a console and to kill digikam...

There should be an entry in the "Right mousebutton menu" for "toggle fullscreen",
but with my OpenSUSE 10.3 version in the RMB menu of the album view there's only a
greyed-out Insert and in the single photo view, there's only a "back to album"
(But you're still in full screen mode then) and this is also the behaviour pressing
the "ESC"ape button. Trying out the "F"unction-keys is maybe a natural behaviour, which
won't give the user much success, but Ctrl-Shift-F ???
In digikam AFAIK, there's no menu popping up, if you go with the mouse to the
upper or lower border like in gwenview or the KDE control bar, which can be configured
to hide automatically. This would also be a place to look for a "toggle fullscreen" entry.

This is no real bug, but a real annoyance to a newcomer.
(And it shouldn't be too hard to do something against it, since RMB-menus are already there.)
