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).
