Attached is a debdiff that adds the Collection button to the toolbar by default
Reasoning: The 'Collection' feature (as seen here : http://pokornypavel.cz/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/eye-of-gnome.png) is a very useful feature. Not only is it additional eyecandy, but it allows a user to see a lot more easily the pictures in a directory. The person filing the bug report suggested having the view enable by default however I don't think this is the best way forward. Ubuntu typically uses EOG as a quick picture viewer (you can see this by how it is hidden in the Applications menu), not for showing slideshows or a number of pictures (this is what F-Spot is for). If we set the collection view as default this would be adding bloat not needed for it's purpose, however because the collection view is so good, I feel that we should make the user more aware of it's existence. The patch puts the button on the toolbar by default, allowing the user to see the collection view. This patch simplifies the step of looking at the collection view from 4 clicks & a drag to one click. ** Attachment added: "eog_2.27.90-0ubuntu2.debdiff" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/30425553/eog_2.27.90-0ubuntu2.debdiff ** Changed in: eog (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => In Progress -- Eye of Gnome should have Image Collection enabled by default https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/388303 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
