Bug ID: 458105
Summary: UX for sorting pictures breaks workflow
Product: gwenview
Version: 22.08.0
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: gwenview-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: k...@fuchsnet.ch
Target Milestone: ---
As per the discussion in the visual design group:
I tried to sort through and crop some photos that I took yesterday, and I think
the UX for this usecase is pretty bad.
If you go through pictures in a folder (e.g. ~/photos/2022-08-20/) Every time
you change (e.g. crop) and image and save it, gwenview jumps to that saved
image. So if you save it in a different folder (e.g. ~/photos/sorted) you then
end up in this folder instead, and you can no longer go through the list of
photos you want. There is a message appearing at the top once saved that allows
you to jump back to the original, but that message appears with a delay (once
saved), so even if you do see that and click that button (which requires
switching from keyboard to mouse) you get taken back to that picture, and not
whatever picture you were looking at since you continued flicking after hitting
save.
Suggestion: add an option to invert that behaviour, as in: do _not_ jump to the
newly saved image, but rather stay at the original and offer a button to
optionally do the inverse.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Sort and crop through a large folder of images
2. Edit some of them
3. Save the edited ones in a different folder
OBSERVED RESULT
Gwenview jumps to the other folder, breaking your current workflow and position
of going through the current folder
EXPECTED RESULT
Gwenview is able to not interrupt your workflow, but rather only jump to the
saved image folder by request
