Request. Map preview.

[Cactus]

Creating new topic.

 

3. You have Window -> Preview option that shows small frame at bottom right corner. May be you'll add similar window with map to show position of selected?

You can check the "Zoom map to location of the selected image" for this.

 

At first I do not see any effect of check/uncheck. And the second is check placed in separate window "Map". I think map preview frame will be much convenient and will make better look to Daminion. See picture below.

 

Map preview is convenient to see where photo was made. And separate window is convenient to search which photos was made at some place, on map.

Cactus I agree with you, that would be cool.

I must be missing something... Is there a way to have the map move to currently selected photo? (or even better, to a wide view encompassing exactly the photos I have selected?)

 

Thanks,

Russell,

I guess this should be possibe but doesn't work for me

[Murat]

You should to check the "Zoom map to location of the selected image" in the properties of the Map panel.

 

It works with 932 build.

 

Please send me a screencast video if this feature doesn't work on your side.

Hi Murat,

 

That's not where I expected to find the feature - but I did find it (clicking on the gear, for those that are following along).

 

It doesn't seem to change when I first check it, but as I click new images, the map updates.

 

Thanks,

Hi,

 

where do i find this feature "preview map"? I looked in all the menus, but didn't find anything. Only "preview" for thumbnails I found.

 

Thanks for your help

Pictor, this feature is called "Map" and can be displayed via Window > Map menu opton.

This is not the same thing. Both are helpful, but in different cases.

Hi Murat and Cactus,

 

thanks for your help.

 

It seams to become complicate. Are there 2 different map windows

- in posting #1 by cactus, the window is called "Map preview"

- when I use Window > Map, then the window is named only "Karte"

 

or is the difference due to different program-versions (I use 2.5.932)?

 

There are some more differences in the map-window.

(After I made the screenshot, I noticed that the icon for the settings of the map-window was missing. I tried several times and suddenly, the icon appeared.)

Hm. Didn't knew that Map can be used as Map Preview, because it dockable.

 

But in my case no icon disappears. May be Interface settings reset will help?

Yes, This works only when you click on thumbnail, you expect this work also when selecting this feature in Map. (but do not work in this way)

 

Also, In Map, text should be "Center map into selected..." rather than "Zoom map into selected...".

Actually it do not Zoom on it, it just center the map on it.
