            Bug ID: 298265
          Severity: major
           Version: unspecified
          Priority: NOR
          Assignee: digikam-devel at kde.org
           Summary: Embedded preview changes from full to reduced size
                    regardless album view settings
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: orcatech at vtr.net
          Hardware: openSUSE RPMs
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: Preview
           Product: digikam

Hi,  I am not sure how this bug may be related to #275400, but it happens to me
that some files are shown in full size preview and others in reduced size,
despite on the "album view" settings (settings/configure digikam/album view) i
have selected "embedded preview loads full-sized images".
Even when deselecting this option, I get the same behavior. The preview does
not stay in one specific mode. It switches depending on the file. I have not
found anything different among the files since they were taken with the same
camera, format etc.
The reduced-size preview, is blurry as mentioned on #275400 and also
corresponds to an older version of the file. It seems like a thumbnail of the
original file, prior the use of the editor (i.e. transforming/aspect radio
crop..).  I have cropped several images, but the reduced size preview still
shows them prior their edition and very blurry.

- I do want to fix the preview to full size but it does not hold. It keeps
switching to full or reduced size without apparent reason and regardless of the
embedded preview setting.
- the symptom continues regardless rebuilding fingerprints and thumbnails.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.in "album view" clic any file.
2.with some pics, the embedded preview is shown as full-sized, while with
others is shown as "reduced-size"
3.to change settings of "Embedded preview loads..." does not change this
behavior nor holds on a specific preview mode.
Actual Results:  
some pics are shown in reduced-size preview mode, while others in full-size.

Expected Results:  
the preview mode should stay fixed and always the same, regardless the file,
depending only to the settings on "settings/configure digikam/album
view/embedded preview loads full-sized images".

For some of the pics files the only way I found to see in full size, is using
the Editor. The light-table, slideshow, and the preview mode keep showing
reduced-size, very blurry and not including the editions (like cropping) done
to the files since they were downloaded the first time.
