Bug ID: 516723
Summary: Multicrop capability
Classification: Applications
Product: digikam
Version First 8.8.0
Reported In:
Platform: Other
OS: Other
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR

SUMMARY
This is a new feature request for a "multi-crop" functionality or plug-in in
the editor. Suppose you have a scan of a page from a photo album with multiple
photos on it -- or a full platen scan or photo of multiple photos. The idea is
to be able to select multiple photos rectangles and click one button ("Save As
New Version") to export all selected rectangles to new file versions.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Currently you must open such an image in the editor and...
2. Select a single rectangle...
3. Crop with ctrl-x...
4. Save as new version..
5. Undo...
6. Repeat for 2-5 for each image.
OBSERVED RESULT
Time consuming to select and export multiple images from a single scanned image
and no ability to adjust corners of rectangles for skewed or slightly rotated
images.
EXPECTED RESULT
1. Open new multi-crop tool
2. Click to select multiple rectangles (overlapping rectangles allowed)
3. Adjust corners of all rectangles to adjust for distortions in the original
scan, rotations, etc.
4. Click "Save As New Version"
5. All selected rectangles get saved as a new version of the original image
with skew adjustments from step 3 applied
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Add cross-platform
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
While many scanners provide automatic image detection for a platen full of
images, this is often slow and buggy. If the new tool has auto-selection
capability, it should allow
- deletion of auto-selected rectangles
- adjustment of auto-selected rectangles
- addition of new manual rectangles (with adjustment capability for corner
placement)
Also, sometimes you are not the one scanning these images, but processing them
later, in which case you need a feature like this.
