           Summary: download images dialog fails to report errors
           Product: digikam
           Version: 0.9.3
          Platform: Debian testing
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: thiago.bauermann gmail com


Version:           0.9.3 (using KDE 3.5.8)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:                Linux

The download images dialog puts small icons over each image to signal de status of the download, like a kde gear for "ongoing", a green check for OK and a red X for red.

The problem I am reporting is that when it puts a red check in a image, no other information is given about what went wrong, and nowhere else in the dialog it is mentioned that something failed. This "error reporting" is very insufficient and is easy to be left unseen.

What if the user downloads 100's of images and only a few of them have errors? The only way to be sure that all went well is to slowly scroll down the images list and carefully check each image's status symbol. Very cumbersome. And even if the user notes the red X, he has no idea what went wrong.

This could be considered a wishlist or improvement, but I am filing it as a bug because it is very inadequate UI.
