[digiKam-users] Map view

[Alan H]

As a new user of digiKam myself my initial intuition to this feature was the same, and somewhat frustrating. BUT, I did find the answer in the user manual. Using digiKam 6.2.0 in Windows 10…

-the left sidebar map has 2 rows of icons/buttons below it (11 & 3 – make sure pane is sufficiently wide).

-second row of 3 is labelled “Search by area:” – full rectangle; half rectangle; “X” button

-you must select either the full or half rectangle

-if digiKam opens with the full rectangle selected and you click on a marker/thumbnail nothing happens

-with the full rectangle selected you must create a frame around the markers you want – click/release, drag, click.

-creates a blue rectangle around selected markers and displays thumbnails in center preview pane.

-clicking on half rectangle lets you click on just one marker/thumbnail to display its contents in the preview pane.

-clicking on “x” deselects selection but not the actual icon/button.



Maybe not intuitively obvious but after getting used to it, it works well, for me anyway. Hope this helps. Anybody more experienced please correct if wrong.

Subject: [digiKam-users] Map view

Just started looking at the Geolocation features of Digikam and I can't
figure out how to view it.

I selected Map on the left hand window and started looking around.  As I
zoom in to my local area I see several thumbs with numbers in,
presumably the number of pictures in that area.  As I zoom in further
those thumbs break into several thumbs with smaller numbers.

How do I view those thumbs?  I have clicked on them, double clicked,
right clicked, nothing!  I was expecting that clicking on one of the
thumbs would display the collections in the main display, and I guess I
am missing something.  Can someone enlighten me please?

Thanks

Mick
