digiKam 0.9.4 started with a new major feature : count of items in album folder views...

A new year, a new digiKam release plan : 0.9.4... Today, i have added to svn a long work from KDE bugzilla about a new feature to show count of items into album folder views.



The number of items contained in virtual or physical albums is now displayed on the right of album name. If a tree branch is collapsed, parents album sum-up the number of items from all un-displayed children albums.

Count of items is performed in background by digiKam KIO-Slaves. A new option from Setup/Album dialog page can toggle on/off this feature. Folder Views witch supports this feature are:
  • Physical Albums from left side bar.
  • Virtual Date Albums (calendar) from left side bar.
  • Virtual Tags Albums from left side bar.
  • Virtual Tags Albums from Captions & Tags right side bar tab.
  • Virtual Tags Albums Filter from right side bar.
Note: for performance reasons, Search Folder View do not support count of items. Search queries on digiKam database can take a while and slow down digiKam reactivity. See Bugzilla #96388 story for details...
