           Summary: Add option: "show thumbbar in full-screen picture
                    preview"
           Product: digikam
           Version: 2.4.0
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Albums GUI
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: px79 at crazymonkeys.de


Version:           2.4.0 (using KDE 4.7.3) 
OS:                Linux

Looking through pictures in preview mode, one can see the thumbbar on top of
the picture preview.

I think opinions differ, whether at switching to full-screen this thumbbar
should be visible or not.

Contra visibility:
  - Currently it is not visible
  - Some people might think: In fullscreen mode I want to have the full screen
for my picture.

Pro visibility:
  - I would like to have it visible, in order to have an orientation within the
pile of pictures. With the thumbbar, I can e.g. see that there are five more
pictures coming with my cat in the basket, so I can delete this one, since the
focus is not very good.
  - I see "full screen" as hide left/right sidebar, the taskbar, the menu and
window decorations. => show the stuff I want to see (picture and thumbnails at
full screen)

Switching the thumbbar on everytime with CTRL + T is very annoying, so I'm
kindly asking to add an option for this. :)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start digikam
2. select album with picture
 -> thumbnail-view (no thumbnail-bar on top)

3. doubleclick/ENTER
 -> switch from "thumbnail view" to "image preview"
    (thumbnail-bar visible on top)

4. CTRL + SHIFT + F

Actual Results:  
Switches to full screen view, but no thumbnail-bar visible on top

Expected Results:  
Whether or not you initially see a thumbnail-bar in "full-screen preview mode"
should be configurable through an digiKam option.

I would suggest to add a new Checkbox to 

    "Settings" -> "Configure DigiKam..." -> "Album View" under "Preview
Options"

and name it something like:

    "Show Thumbbar in full screen image preview"
