           Summary: Filter for images without geotag + geotagging symbol
                    in album view
           Product: digikam
           Version: 1.2.0
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Geolocation
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: bugreports at familie-becker.eu


Version:           1.2.0 (using KDE 4.4.5) 
OS:                Linux

While starting to geotag my older pictures, I had some problems that I think
can be overcome by a few improvements to Digikam. Just one small example:
Assume you have GPX-Records and a bunch of pictures you want to geotag. This
can be done via the Geotag correlator already included, which is fine. But if
the GPX record was not complete, or you happen to be in an area with poor GPS
reception or even in a building, then not all of your pics will be geotagged.
Thats ok so far.

My problem is that I want to easily find out which of my pictures have _not_
been geotagged so far. This is not only limited to single albums, but to my
whole collection.

So, I have two suggestions for improving Digikam in this point:

1. There already is the possibility to filter images (left side) to, e.g. only
show pics with a certain tag. This mechanism could be expanded to optionally
show all pictures without geotagging information. This would help identifying
pics without geotag on a collection-wide level

2. In album view, I can already choose which information to display below each
pic preview, such as filename, date, file size etc. This could be extended to
also display if there is already a geotag associated with this pic. I don't
think it would be very reasonable to display the coordinates themselves there.
But, for example, what about an icon? Each pic that was geotagged gets an
(optional) icon in the lower left of the preview, depiciting, e.g., the earth
(or whatever). This would allow me to easily find the pics in my album that
were not yet geotagged.

I think both suggestions would clearly improve the act of geotagging pics in
Digikam.

Oh, and as a side note: Keep up the good work! :-)
