Bug ID: 451256 Summary: An empty album displays a notification message that the database query returned no result Product: digikam Version: 7.5.0 Platform: Archlinux Packages OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: Albums-MainView Assignee: digikam-bugs-n...@kde.org Reporter: dev-...@felsenfleischer.de Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY When the user selects an album from the album tree which has no images, a notification appears at the top of the main view, starting with “The current query from the database returned no results.“ This is bad UI design. It is perfectly normal that an album may be empty, e.g. if it is just the parent for subalbums. A notification is used to get the user’s attention. But an empty album is nothing to be alarmed about. Another problem this creates is that when I select a non-empty album next, the image list is display and then the notification goes away. This causes the images to shift up on the screen. OBSERVED RESULT Empty albums show a notification that they are empty. The notification goes away after a few seconds. EXPECTED RESULT There should be no notification. If the user has to be told that this album is in fact empty, then the better way would be to use the mainview for that (see Dolphin for an example).
