[KimDaBa] Bugs in image selection and hourglass cursor?

[Eugen Dedu]

Hi,

After looking at several image organiser applications I finally chose 
kimdaba because it has the *same* functionalities I imagine about such 
an application (thank you very much for kimdaba !  It's the only kde 
application on my debian computer.)

I have found a few glitches in kimdaba:

1. In the thumbnails view, when I press on a thumbnail it opens the view 
window.  So, in the thumbnails window, when I want to select several 
images, I press somewhere (not on a thumbnail) in order to deselect any 
selection.  Afterwards, I press on a space between two images and drag 
the mouse in order to select the desired rectangle.  After that, 
pressing the mouse right button opens the context menu but "Configure 
All Images Simultaneously" is grayed, which is a bug (IMO).

2. Also, another question: How can I select all the images between two 
images which are not on the same line in the thumbnails view (suppose 
the first one is not at the left side and the last one not at the right 
side)?  If I select the first image and shift-press on the second image, 
it selects a rectangle, not from the very left side to the very right side.

3. Once the hourglass cursor did not change in the arrow cursor.  It 
appeared if I remember correctly when the view window opened (=> 
hourglass pointer) and I closed it before the image has displayed (=> 
kimdaba forgot to change back to the arrow pointer).

4. This one is about kipi-plugins, maybe it's appropriate to contact 
them.  After importing all my images, which were not rotated according 
to orientation exif tag, I selected them all and chose 
Plugins->AutoRotate...  I thought it will process only images which do 
not have the right orientation (top-left), but I noticed that the size 
of all the images has changed => kipi-plugins changed all the images. 
Of cours, this is not the action I wanted.  Besides, it took a long time 
to process all the images instead of the ones which needed rotation.

Thank you for kimdaba,
