            Bug ID: 339082
           Summary: Allow a simpler way to place a photo in fullscreen
           Product: digikam
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Preview
          Assignee: digikam-devel at kde.org

While working with digikam I noticed a few times people (including me) simply
looking for a quick way to look for a photo (in an album) and then open it in
fullscreen. Then simply moving to the next or the previous when ready. Pretty
simple.

In the current implementation (3.5.0) I see that it is possible to do this by
opening a slideshow from selection (of the target photo), but this won't allow
the user to move to the other photos in the same album.
Or, by opening a slideshow for the entire album, which instead opens the first
photo in the album (not the one I selected). Also it then moves automatically.
I don't think this is the same.
Possible "solution" is to modify the settings to start from the current image
and to make the delay very large. This does what I think is the simplest usage.
But it requires to tweak the settings and a large delay makes the other
slideshows not automatic anymore.

Also, when a photo is opened in preview, double click on it does not go to
fullscreen. It seems to me a little unnatural.

After consulting on IRC, something different came up: without any modification
of the settings, double clicking on a photo in preview mode opens the photo in
fullscreen and simply stays there as long as the user wants. Using the arrows
then the rest of the album can be browsed. The escape button goes back to
preview, and then again to thumbnails.
This kind of behavior does not influence the existing slideshows.

This feels a little more natural to me. Anyone else who agree by any chance?

Reproducible: Always
