           Summary: Geolocation window unintuitive and "overloaded"
           Product: digikam
           Version: 2.0.0
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Geolocation
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: bugzilla at go4more.de


Version:           2.0.0 (using KDE 4.6.3) 
OS:                Linux

I like the geolocation feature of Digikam and make regular use of it. 

However, for me the way this stuff is implemented in Digikam2 is very
unintuitve and overloaded. I consider it a regression.

1. Pics are only display as thumbnails in the map. Something like a "pin" as
used by other geolocation implementations would give much more overview. If
only one picture is selected, I know the contents and don't need another
thumbnail to clutter the map view. If more pictures are selected, the map soon
is crowded. Also, a "pin" can be located exactly. At least this should be
configurable.
2. It took a long time for me to find out how to use the map to assign
coordinates for a picture. While drag and drop is basically intuitive, it seems
misplaced here. Again, why not a pin, why not a "right click" and a telling
context menu.
3. Moving around a picture on the map does not seem to be implemented. However,
correcting GPS data is a very important part of my workflow - not possible, you
cannot draw a picture around on the map. It has again to be "drag and dropped"
to the new location.
4. I also doubt the necessity to clutter the geolocation window with a list of
selected images. Actions with several pictures, e.g. correlating to a GPX file,
can be done from digikam's main win. Most other geolocation tasks only deal
with one picture. That's the  same logic as used by Digikam's image editor, why
has the geolocation to be put in a cluttered window with a different workflow
logic?

Basically, I think the problem is that the new geolocation window tries to put
to much into one window, therefore making the basic tasks hidden.

Reproducible: Always
