Bug ID: 388936
Summary: User Selectable Thumbnail Format
Product: digikam
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: Database-Thumbs
Assignee: digikam-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: aer...@aerysl.net
Target Milestone: ---
Currently behind the scenes Digikam supports a number of different
filetypes(https://cgit.kde.org/digikam.git/tree/libs/database/thumbsdb/thumbsdb.h?id=adbe3e2c132c4ffbf17bdffc2e14aaa91868ca18)
for the thumbnails to be stored within the database. However, while the
pipeline has the required code for all the types, the hardcoded default is PGF
(https://cgit.kde.org/digikam.git/tree/libs/threadimageio/thumbnailcreator.cpp?id=adbe3e2c132c4ffbf17bdffc2e14aaa91868ca18
- line 737). I propose that the thumbnail type be user selecteble. I imagine
this could be done in one of many ways, three of which I describe:
1. As an setting in the digikamrc config file. This would likely require less
work, but to maintain a consistent thumbnail type would require all Digikam
clients accessing the same database to have the same setting in the config.
2. Add the type as a setting in the Setting table of the database. This would
allow all clients accessing the database to use the same type, allowing a
homogenous thumbnail database of user configurable type.
3. A much less elegant solution would be to add a compile-time option to set
the dbInfo.type variable.
I'm not terribly familiar with the coding of Digikam, but if a Contributer
thinks option 1 is the way to go I should be able to make a patch to submit.
