[Digikam-users] missing comfort

[Andreas T. Ege]

Hi there,

I haven't to contribute anything usefull to your problem, unfortunately. For me viewing pictures with digikam works good enough, though I agree with the upper left/ centering issue. 
Open a bugreport with your wishes, probably you are not the only one. 

> photos. Look at EOG's (Eye of Gnome) design please.
I certainly will not install a software I'm not gonna use just to see how you think something should look. Comprehensible descriptions are always the best thing, as, like in this examples, it gives non-gnome users the chance to understand what you actually want. Same goes for acronymes, up until this mail I hadn't had the slightest clue wha EOG stands for, and certainly couldn't be bothered to look it up. 
No offense meant. ;-)

I work a lot with key shortcuts, so buttons are not that big an issue for me. 

I kind of like the idea of zooming with the scroll wheel. But what I like even more is going forward and backward (next/ previous picture) with the wheel button. Then again, I mostly use the keys for that as well. ;-)

Can you choose the wheel for zooming in the dialog for custom shortcuts? Just an idea. 

Finally, I do prefer not having any buttons cluttering my full view, imo that should be reserved for just seeing the image.
