[digiKam-users] overlay selected metadata on preview and slideshow

[Maik Qualmann]

You have a "Play" button in the thumbnail and in the preview. This starts the 
digikam slide show in still image mode. There is an overlay here that can show 
almost all your wishes (except image size). You can also delete images here.
