            Bug ID: 308878
          Severity: normal
           Version: 2.8.0
          Priority: NOR
          Assignee: digikam-devel at kde.org
           Summary: better handling of window/screen size/resolution for
                    small display like netbook
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: julien.t43+kde at gmail.com
          Hardware: Other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: Usability
           Product: digikam

As said here [1], digikam has a default minimal size for right and left panel a
bit high for a netbook max resolution (1024x600). It's not possible to have
both of them opened. If try the window expanded outside of the screen. It
should be possible to have everything in the screen.

As it seems right panel is fixed size, it would be better to allow a smaller
size of the left panel when window size is 1024x600 or lower and let info
bubble display full name of folder when browsing with mouse or keyboard.
(or maybe the minimum size is depending on length of folder names?)

Thanks
