[Digikam-users] inefficient use of screen space

[Arnd Baecker]

Hi Per,

which version of digikam are you using?
With recent versions you can adjust the icon size.

Concerning  http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=102500
different variants have been discussed, but no conclusion
was made as far as I understand things;
maybe you could revive that topic there by making a proposal,
which takes the status of the discussion into account?

Best, Arnd
