[Digikam-devel] Contribution: Getting started

[Gilles Caulier]

Hi,

Thanks for your help.

Please use exclusively git/master code to hack and make patches.
Patches must be posted to relevant bugzilla entries.

Rename action is managed on top level here :

https://projects.kde.org/projects/extragear/graphics/digikam/repository/revisions/master/entry/app/main/digikamapp.cpp#L1021

This call this method in view :

https://projects.kde.org/projects/extragear/graphics/digikam/repository/revisions/master/entry/app/views/digikamview.cpp#L1822

redirected to icon-view here :

https://projects.kde.org/projects/extragear/graphics/digikam/repository/revisions/master/entry/app/items/digikamimageview.cpp#L651

Which launch rename dialog. The current selection is passed
byDigikamView::selectedUrls(). Rename dialog perform files renaming in
background and digiKam ScanController will detect files changes from
file system. icon-view contents will change accordingly with
ScanController results.

So, the IconView selection to restore is not simple to do. You must
take a care about original file names which will be changed by rename
tool, wait ScanController end and restore selection.

Best
