[KimDaBa] Want to try a directory browser in Kimdaba ?

Tue Jul 13 20:10:52 BST 2004

As I said previously, it takes time for me to look over pataches, and 
integrate them, so I can't promise I get time for this before 2.0
I'll give it a try once I get some time, but no promisses.

Cheers
Jesper

| Well in fact, it´s too late, I have already done it.
| I guess it´s better to post it now than to loose my patch.
|
| Screenshot1 shows it in action in the browser, the thumbnails view and
| the viewer.
| Screenshot2 shows is done with a fresh new database and shows that the
| search and configure dialog is by default just like before (don´t
| bother old users who update with a new behavior). The directory field
| is off by default in the viewer too.
| I´ve tested that it works when creating a new database, when updating
| an old one, when some images are not on the disk, when you
| move/rename/create new directories and hit << Rescan for images >>
| To prevent the << too many items in the listbox >> thing, I don´t add
| each folder as a group of his subfolders like I did in the demo. This
| make things clearer, but you can´t select a folder and his subfolders
| recursively.
|
|
| The little things that bothers me are that :
| * when you in the browser you select a directory, and then select it again,
| you see a new << No other Folder >>. Don´t know why
| * you cannot record that you´ve showed the folder field in the viewer.
| (see the FIXME comment)
|
| It could be useful to add that in the tips file something like :
|
| <tip category="KimDaBa">
| <html>
| <p>You can now browse by folders</p>
| <p>Note that those are not real folders which you can move, rename or
| delete (use Konqueror for that !). They work instead just like and
| with other image-properties like Persons, Locations, Keywords, except
| that KimDaBa set them for you. In the search dialog, you can use them
| by selecting <tt>"Options" -> Show/Hide Window > Show folder</tt>
| </p>
| </html>
| </tip>
|

| Cheers
