Ratings: Show rating

Post by helmut »

For tags we have "View > Tags > Show Tags". So I wonder whether there should be "View > Rating > Show ratings".

I would find this consistent. Though I'm not sure whether this is useful for ratings and whether this would be really used. By default "Show ratings" would be "on".

I agree, there should be a way to turn "show rating" off, and thats good suggestion.

BTW why isn't there a right-click option to rate an image? Or did I just miss it?

I don't know what a context menu is. :? Feel like an amateur, he he.
But I mean, if you right-click a thumbnail, you should be able to rate the image there. Not only from the menus (view -> rating).

You guys speak about the same thing: Context menu is the menu that (sometimes) appears when right-clicking on objects/items.

Perhaps when "Show rating" is off, the rating could dissappear in the context menu, too. This would keep the context menu clean for those people that do not use rating at all.

Yes, but if tags & rating are on, the popup menu will be very big :-(

Hm, indeed, the context menu is quite long...maybe there is a way to visually show which group is doing what. Eg. bold titles "file actions", "mass actions", "image tools" etc. on top of each group or vertically on the left margin. Or color code them together with a background image. Or place icons left of must used stuff, so a cisor is front of cut etc. (same applies to the menu). Or something in that way - depending on what is how difficult to implement.

Implemented in Beta 5... but there is no 'checked' sign on the left of the menu item when active. :bug:

I think the ideal solution would be to click on the Rating symbol of the thumbnail to bring a graphical pop-up and select rating (therefore a 'no rating' symbol would be needed => Image). Is that possible for 1.90, Pierre?

Graphical menu in context menu?

Here is what I had in mind:
Image
(you left-click on the rating symbol of the thumbnail -> rating popup appears and you select new rating)

But I would recommend to postpone this feature... and consider other issues mentionned instead.

Yes, I consider this feature as postponed.

But there is still this bug to fix:
