Bug ID: 377857 Summary: Ideas to improve usability of metadata sidebar Product: digikam Version: 5.5.0 Platform: Appimage OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: Usability Assignee: digikam-de...@kde.org Reporter: jens-bugs.kde....@spamfreemail.de Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 104657 --> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=104657&action=edit improved metadata sidebar - mockup & screenshot See also my post in digikam-users (and users's replies) starting 13.02.2017. I originally come from iPhoto and similar commercial apps. My workflow when importing images (and videos) into Digikam might reflect this a little - I find myself constantly switching between tabs in Digikam to perform simple image management / organizational tasks. I think this can be improved a lot by modifying the layout and usability of Digikam's "Properties" sidebar (the top one on the right) and converting it into a summary-/ dashboard kind of sidebar which covers 80-90% of all requirements in one single place. Currently the "Properties" sidebar is just a list of image and file properties and not used for editing at all - which makes it kind of superfluous (IMHO). I have created a mockup of how this sidebar can be improved by incorporating simple metadata editing tasks. The idea is that for simple asset management tasks (adding titles, ratings and tags, editing dates and viewing basic image metadata) you *only* need this single sidebar. The idea is *NOT* to squeeze all possible metadata into one dialog. This is a little inspired by iPhoto's organization of metadata which I found quite usable. Please have a look and tell me what you think. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
