           Summary: Image Editor not working correctly after setting "use
                    horizontal thumbbar" option
           Product: digikam
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Image Editor
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: andi.clemens gmx net


Version:           0.10.0-beta2 (using KDE 3.5.9)
Compiler:          Target: i686-pc-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.25-ARCH

When changing the setting "use horizontal thumbbar" in the settings dialog for the image editor, the thumbbar gets not updated (not moved to the bottom of the screen). Also closing and reopening the editor doesn't help (this is because we use a singleton instance of the editor, which is good for sure).
To fix it digiKam itself has to be restarted, not only the image editor as mentioned in the settings dialog.
But if you change this setting and continue to work with digiKam, it somehow works strange:
- Thumbnails are "gone" and will / or will not be generated new
- After a while digiKam even crashes, but right now I get a different BT all the time

I think we need to have a signal or something like that to change the location of the thumbbar immediately, or we have to change the settings description to "use horizontal thumbbar (needs restarting of digiKam)", but this is not a good option I think.

About the problem with the thumbnails: I have no idea what this could be, maybe I'll get a better BT someday and I will attach it here.
