[Digikam-users] Left panel descendent view behaviour

[Sherwood Botsford]

I'm not happy with the way left panels handle albums.

If I have View -> Album sub-tree checked

what I get is the top level album's pix then each sub album in order.
This is NOT what I want.  If I KNEW what sub album it was in I'd go there.

What I want is ALL the pix in that album arranged by whatever sort order
I've chosen.

Similarly with tags.  If I have View -> Tags sub-tree checked, I get the
tags sorted by album.
No.  Munge them together.

Actually how about this as a general treatment for hierarchial attributes:

Default:  Whatever View is currently set for:
Right click:
    Ungroup ( = flatten -- lump everything together)
    Group by sub-foo (foo = albums, tags)
    Group by alt category (E.g. if foo = albums, group by tag)

Sort albums by tag means that a given picture appears N times if it has N
tags.

Within that allow sort tags flat or sort tags hierarchial.

Anyone agree?

Am I making sense?
