            Bug ID: 368564
           Summary: Settings fields not working properly.
           Product: digikam
           Version: 5.1.0
          Platform: unspecified
                OS: MS Windows
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: NOR
         Component: BatchQueueManager-Tool-Crop
          Assignee: digikam-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: miasdad at gmail.com

Upgraded from 3.x to 5 on Windows 10.  I usually use Linux, but my PC isn't
working.  Attempted to use the crop tool in the batch queue manager.  I'm
accustomed to plain edit fields.  These fields act like progress bars, with the
bar representing a value from 0 to 99,999.  When I enter a number and press
Enter or Tab, the number reverts to the default value.  If you click on the
field, the blue bar goes up to the point where you click and a value is
entered.  You can drag to increase or decrease the value.  I was able to drag
to the value I wanted -- 2872, 1870, 1192, 1192, for example -- but when I ran
the crop, it was way off.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Determine desired crop settings.
2. Select a group of images to crop.
3. Go to batch queue manager with the selected images.
4. Select crop tool.
5. Try to enter your settings.  If successful.....
6. .....apply the crop to your images.

Actual Results:  
X and Y settings will be applied incorrectly.  The values I entered were only
represented by a sliver of blue.  The crop started well above and to the left
of where I wanted it.

Expected Results:  
I was cropping photos of vinyl record labels.  I was expecting a trimmed,
centered picture of each label.  Instead, only a quarter of the label appeared
in each picture, with the center hole of the record somewhere near the lower
right corner of the square image.

Honestly, it appears that the wrong type of control was used for the tool. 
Perhaps something was lost in translation.  I hope it's something that can be
fixed because I use it often.  I hope I can fix my Linux computer so I don't
have to use Windows.
