[digiKam-users] Digikam not showing non-image files in album view

[Thomas D]

OK. I guess this will help. However, when trying to assign a short cut key,
I am faced with this UX problem:
I try to find a key combo to open file manager.
I have now tried a handful different combos, but everyone seems to be
already assigned. So I am seeing this warning:
[image: image.png]

The warning says that the chosen shortcut conflicts with the following
combination: and then there is nothing after the colon.
I should be able to see what other shortcut I am about to overwrite.

Also, the text on the buttons seem rather ambiguous. "Reassign" I would
think means: "OK, I see that my chosen shortcut was already used, so I will
reassign that". But this is not what it means. Instead it seems to really
mean "Overwrite the existing shortcut with your new shortcut."
But if I do this, then I break some unknown existing shortcut (without
intention of doing that) and leaves me no way of knowing what  shortcut
just got overwritten.

Also, the dialog offers no help in finding a vacant shortcut combo. For
example, if I say Ctrl+E and that is taken, the program could easily try
some "neighbouring" shortcuts like Ctrl+Alt+E, Ctrl+Shift+E, Alt+Shift+E,
etc. and suggest some of these instead.
