           Summary: difficult to select more than one unit
           Product: digikam
           Version: 1.4.0
          Platform: Unlisted Binaries
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Time Line
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: anders at alweb.dk


Version:           1.4.0
OS:                Linux

Using the timeline, i find it very difficult to select more than one unit
(day/week/...), for the following reasons:

1. I am required to click a very small area for selecting additional units
(small square in the bottom) (This applies to selecting the first unit too).
Why not allow selection by clicking the full unit representation?

2. I can only select additional units by holding CTRL key, not by holding SHIFT
key. It would be nice to be able to select a row of units by holding SHIFT key,
similar to other list views. It would also be nice if I could drag a selection.

3. It is difficult to recognize the selection at all, because the "current"
marking of a unit is so dominant visually. Why not coloring the full unit
background with selection color?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Try using the timeline

Actual Results:  
it takes a lot of time to realize how to make a selection

Expected Results:  
it is easy to make a selection

OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.35-ARCH
Compiler: gcc
