           Summary: GUI improvement for manual geotagging
           Product: digikam
           Version: 2.0.0
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Geolocation
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: knizek at volny.cz


Version:           2.0.0 (using KDE 4.6.2) 
OS:                Linux

A workflow for geotagging images manually can be:
1. select images in album view, which were taken on (or showing) the same
location
2. open menu Image / Geolocation
3. go to Search tab and type in the location name
4. you get some possible locations/addresses as an answer

Now, the troubles come on the following steps:

Problem A: the map shows the returned addresses as "A", "B", ... marks.
However, there is no way how to easily zoom in on the map to e.g. the proposed
location "A". (Use of + button is very slow.)

Problem B: once you manually zoom in to see some more details about location
"A", you can choose another position (say few hundred meters away from the
marked location "A") by a left-click on the map, choose "copy coordinates" from
the second level of pop-up menu, then select images in the bottom part of the
window, right-click and choose "paste" from the pop-up menu. This is slow.


Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
Possible solutions:

Problem A: double-click on location "A" from the returned addresses in the
search tab should automatically reload the map zoomed at the location (say 1:50
000?)

Problem B: when you long-click somewhere on the map, a new location mark (let's
call it "X") should appear. Then, you could drag & drop this location mark from
the map over to the images and the selected images should be assigned this GPS
coordinates. As default, all images listed in the geolocation plugin should be
preselected (when you have had selected the images in album view, then you
probably wanted to work with them).
Alternatively, a left-click on the map could have a new item in the pop-up menu
"Add GPS coordinates to selected images".
