[KimDaBa] more ideas for kimdaba

[Martin Höller]

Hi all!

Got a few more ideas for making life with kimdaba even more easier:

1) quite easy: allow negative selection in browser

Let me explain what I mean on a simple example. If you browse your images
you can select a location by simply clicking on it. If you want all
locations but one, you instead have to open the Search-Dialog to be able
to negate the selection for a location.

It would be nice to be able to get the same effect by holding down a key
like SHIFT while clicking on a location.

Hint: There is already a similar feature. Holding down CTRL while clicking
      on a category you directly get the pictures.

2) more complex: simplify group handling by showing a tree-view.

It would be really cool if there would be a nicer dialog for managing
groups. I would like to see my groups in a tree-view. For example my
locations would look like this:

earth (just for future use ;-)
  +--asia
  |    +--india
  |    `--china
  +--europe
  |    +--austria
  |    |    +--linz
  |    |    `--...
  |    +--italy
  :    :    `--...

You got the idea?

3) make searching for images on startup configurable

It could save quite some startup time when searching for new images could
be disabled on startup. There is already an entry in the menu "Rescan for
new images" if I would really want to rescan my directories.

Making this configurable wouldn't change anything if one doesn't like it
but could save time for others.


Hope you like my new ideas for the absolutely best image database in the
world: KimDaBa.
