Bug ID: 459163
Summary: Geolocation Editor difficult to use
Product: digikam
Version: 7.4.0
Platform: Other
OS: Microsoft Windows
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Geolocation-Workflow
Assignee: digikam-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: bugzi...@kgb.ovh
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Try to geolocate a photograph in the Geolocation Editor.
OBSERVED RESULT
Totally unintuitive. There are buttons for everything but to pin your images to
the map.
To locate your photograph, you either have to type the coordinates on the right
(then what is the map for ?) or click on the map, Copy coordinates and then…
If you happen to use a different decimal separator than the dot (many countries
use a comma), then you can’t even paste that on the right side!
digikam is not compatible with itself!
EXPECTED RESULT
Like other geolocation editors, keep things simple and don’t clutter it. Who
needs to calculate directions from here to there in the Geolocation editor (to
give just an example)?
The most important function here is to pin your photograph on the map. Look how
simple it is in Google Maps, GeoSetter (unmaintained), OpenStreetMap,…
Don’t abusively block pasting into the coordinates fields on the right. Let the
user fix it first and if there is an error, then let the user know when they
click on Apply.
