Ubernoob fumbling through my first few days with Digikam. I’m in preview mode, scrolling through my images using the left and right arrows. When I see an image I like I click on the stars in the thumbnail image in the carousal above the large preview. It moves the image to the end of the carousal and I have to find my way back to where I left off. Is there a way to give a star rating to an enlarged image that does not cause me to lose my place in the order of the pictures? Can I sort the images in the carousal by timestamp or something?
Thanks for the help, it worked for assigning the rating to the image but it still moves the image to the end of the carousal, so I still have to scroll back find the spot where I left off. Is there a way to have the image not change locations in the carousal when I make a change to it? It moves to the end of the carousal if I assign a tag, rating or other label.
I’m guessing you have items sorted by rating; I’d change that to something else.
In case it helps, I rate items by using the fullscreen view and using the keyboard shortcuts. My default sort order is by filename. I don’t ever use the sort-by-rating option. I do, however, often use a filter to display only images above a certain rating.
I have resolved this issue by adding the “Sort Items” action in the Configure Toolbars dialog box. Access the Configure Toolbars menu by right clicking a blank section of the the top tool bar. I had to restart Digikam but it works. Now I have a drop down menu that allows me to sort the images by a number of different parameters. Thank you @ashurbanipal@gadolf and Andrius for the guidance.
@ashurbanipal@Andrius – thanks again. After fiddling around with it more I realize I must have fat fingered CTRL+M because the very top menu bar was hidden (Browse, Album etc) so I didn’t have a “View” displaying. Awesome. with this toolbar displaying things are looking good!
