Bug ID: 488411
Summary: Format from copying coordinates is unhelpful
Classification: Applications
Product: digikam
Version: 8.1.0
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Geolocation-Correlator
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
When I copy coordinates using context menu in Geolocation editor, it has the
following format:
geo:-33.4278039996,-70.4862990001,1569.684
That is not very helpful:
1) The prefix geo: seems superfluous (only mapy.cz accepts it, JOSM and google
maps cannot find the coordinate when I paste it into a map)
2) I am not sure altitude (1569.684) is very useful, it confuses Google maps
and also JOSM
As a solution:
a) remove the geo: prefix,
b) do not include altitude
c) add action that only copies the coordinates without altitude (probably best
to remove the current action to "copy coordinates and altitude" - possibly
"copy altitude can be added though not sure if anybody would use that)
Related:
I. could this action have a (configurable) keyboard shortcut that could ideally
be accessible also from outside the Geolocation Editor? (though it is said taht
is not indended here: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=424058#c1 )
II. Is this bug still valid: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=279474 ? I am
not sure if GPSSync is a thing still.
(PS: I am not on the latest Digikam but I doubt it has changed, if it has,
sorry for the noise)
