I would also like to see the rename function back. I was using it quite often when scanning in a number of documents and later renaming them while viewing the results.

Please, please, please, note the comment somebody left here about renaming: “in the KDE3 version I only had to hit F2 and type the new name, but I haven’t find that option in the KDE4 version yet”. This lack of F2-renaming possibility is really a serious drawback, and it must be so easy to implement.

And I also would like to side with another comment here: “I really miss a folder-navigation together with a preview in gwenview/kde4, and the possibility to disable folders in the main-thumbnail-view. would it be possible to implement an optional panel with such functionality like in gwenview/kde3?”

All the best

Well, well… but where is the navigation panel?
How I can move the thumbnail panel to left / right side of the screen?

digiKam does not use Nepomuk for ratings and other infos. It use sqlite database and stores the all photo information to files metadata itself (and own database for faster use), so when moving the file around other software like Lightroom 2 or Photoshop, you have all the same ratings and information. What seems that nepomuk does not allow.

Gwenview should store all this kind information as XMP to file metadata so it can be readed from digiKam too and Gwenview to use metadata from digiKam for Nepomuk.

Gwenview is not suitable application to handle my photo collection (now over 75 000 photos), and seems that Nepomuk can not help at all in this case. digiKam seems to be more for professionals and those who use RAW, while Gwenview tries to keep all users happy and then failing on all areas. Gwenview anymore needs a phototouching tools from GIMP or Krita and you would start calling it ultimate image-editor application.

So mayby the Gwenview should use XMP and other metadata as #1 storing possibility and then use Nepomuk to read those from there. And not trying to replace whole photographing information world with Nepomuk.

@several of you: ratings are not shared with Digikam ratings. They are shared with Dolphin and all Nepomuk aware applications. I guess Digikam devs will either migrate to Nepomuk or (more likely), ensure that ratings set in Digikam get replicated in Nepomuk.

@raul: it’s already possible to filter by tag, but the ui is too ugly to post a screenshot right now

@slacky: finer filtering is taking shape, it should be there in 4.2

it would be nice to select only picture with one star – because these pictures should – for instance – be removed.

Aurélien, I’d be happy if I could simply sort images by different criteria, like sorting by date. I just can’t find this in Gwenview (trunk).

Am I missing something?
