           Summary: "Autohide" toolbar in full-screen view
           Product: digikam
           Version: 0.10.0
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: dkde at gardnersworld.org


Version:           0.10.0 (using KDE 4.2.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

In the full-screen mode of the album view, the toolbar is always visible
at the top of the screen. An option to "autohide" this (in the same manner
as the KDE panel, MS Windows task bar, Firefox full-screen mode toolbar,
etc., where the toolbar disappears until the mouse pointer is moved to the
edge of the screen) would make the current "almost full-screen" mode be a
true full-screen mode.

Gwenview has a similar concept, but it also allows a template to be defined
to add a summary of Exif metadata to the toolbar panel. Perhaps it would be
possible to have similar "fly-out" panels added to the digiKam full screen
mode. The existing right-hand metadata panel would be suitable and could
remain the same position and with the same content.

When the toolbars or panels appear briefly in this manner, they can
overlay the image and not cause it to be resized (as in Gwenview, but not
in Firefox).
