Bug ID: 410912
Summary: Improve "Move to album" for keyboard use
Product: digikam
Version: 6.2.0
Platform: openSUSE RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Usability-Ergonomy
Assignee: digikam-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: k...@forum.titlis.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When the "Move to album" dialog is used by keyboard, there are some smaller
usability issues
When launching the dialog, the ok button is focused, and the most recently
chosen album is (passively) selected. When hitting the enter key, the move to
the passively selected folder is performed.
However, the focused ok button does not accept any other keyboard inputs. A
better solution is to initially focus on the search edit box. Apparently, when
the dialog is launched, the search box is empty and enter is pressed, the move
is still executed to the passively selected folder, which is good.
When the search edit box is selected, and you search a target folder, and you
select a folder by move down arrow, and launch the move by pressing enter, the
previously chosen folder is ignored, since apparently the selection of the
album tree view has precedence. This is not what the user wanted: If the folder
selection happens via search edit box, this selection has to be respected
Ideally, when you type half of the album name and the desired album appears on
the first place on the drop down, you can press enter and the photo is moved
the the first album on the drop down. But I believe that's not possible anymore
since the move from KCompleter to QCompleter.
Furthermore, if the empty search edit box is focused (what should be the
initial state) and the up/down key is hit, the album tree view should be
focused and accept the up/down movement. This rule only applies if the search
edit box is empty.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE (This only applies if "Move to album" is indeed only
available via keyboard shortcut, I didn't find a menu entry for this action?)
1. Settings->Configure Shortcuts
2. Move to Album... -> Shortcut M -> ok
3. Select a photo
4. press M
OBSERVED RESULT
"ok" is focused
EXPECTED RESULT
- search edit box is focused
- respect folder chosen via typed text in the search edit box
