--- Comment #26 from Mark <m...@octabode.com> ---
I would like to support the idea that the geolocation editing is not as clear
as it could be, and to make a specific suggestion for improving it. Please keep
in mind that I am a new user, so I may have missed something but I have been
searching for the right way to do this for several hours now and still haven't
found it, so I think that is sufficient reason to consider the operation
unclear.
It seems to me that the Map pane on the right should work in a similar manner
to the other tools on the right, namely as both viewer and editor. If the
image has a geolocation then it will display that location when a new image is
selected. When no geolocation is present then the pane's map should show a
default location. In either case, the user should be allowed to navigate within
the map pane and click (or perhaps right-click) to set/update the geolocation
of the selected image. Perhaps to make the operation more transparent, having a
draggable pin in the pane's tool bar to cause the location to be set would be
helpful.
Another option would be to just make it clear that you should _find_ the map
location using an external mapping application like Google Maps and then past
coordinates (which is what several posts and videos do). Then you could drop
some functionality from the UI making it cleaner and easier to maintain.
Also, I cannot seem to get the Edit Bookmarks... item in the geolocation editor
window to do anything. It seems this was reported long ago and fixed but it
doesn't work for me. I'm on a Mac, running digiKam 8.3.0.
