--- Comment #7 from chim...@thespicers.net <chim...@thespicers.net> --- I'm a bit confused about what is meant by the icon view - do you mean the Thumbnails view? As I am looking to export albums, my main navigation is done using the Albums list on the left, reached by clicking the Albums tag. Clicking any album in this list causes the Thumbnails view to be shown on the right and automatically selects the first item in the album. The same happens if you right-click on an album. I now realise It is actually this initial selection that is the cause of my issue. Because left- or right-clicking an album always causes at least one item in it to be selected, the export then only acts on that one item. digiKam's interface is quite similar to most file explorers, but this selection behaviour is unusual and I would argue is counter-intuitive. Generally, navigating into a folder does not cause any selection to be made within that folder - the user has to explicitly click a file/image in order to select it. With digiKam, to export all items in an album you have to click the Album and then manually de-select the item that was selected automatically. The auto-selection behaviour severely limits the usefulness of the right-click Export Album option as this results in only one item being selected for the export. Why does digiKam change the selection when you click on an album? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
