Bug ID: 402871
Summary: Import: Show message when no new files are available
and the "New files" filter is active
Product: digikam
Version: 6.0.0
Platform: Appimage
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Import-MainView
Assignee: digikam-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: jens-bugs.kde....@spamfreemail.de
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
see $SUBJECT
In the import view, if no new files are available and the "New Files" filter is
activated, Digikam should show a message in the center of the main view saying
something like "No *new* images are available for import. If you want to see
all available images, select 'All Files' instead of 'New Files' in the bottom
toolbar."
This should not be a dialog window you have to dismiss, just a text box in the
center of the main part of the Digikam window where otherwise thumbnails would
be shown.
I think this is better than showing nothing at all (which might also be due to
slow reading from the medium, or read errors, or a medium missing, or ...) and
much less confusing for new users.
Empty screens should always be avoided - even an empty Album (or tag, in tag
view) in Digikam should have a message in the main view saying "This album is
empty" / "This tag has not been used on any images yet." or something similar.
