[Pkg-kde-extras] Bug#628635: Photo selection dialog makes it hard to select multiple photos

[Moray Allan]

Package: digikam
Version: 2:1.2.0-7
Severity: wishlist

I'm uploading photos to a Gallery using Export->Export to Gallery then
Add Photos.  I'm using Digikam rather than the Gallery website
directly so that I can add multiple photos more quickly.  The dialog
has an 'Open' button to trigger the upload of the selected photos.
However, any button release on an image triggers an immediate upload
-- to select multiple images I need to drag an image somewhere else
(to avoid a button release event over an image) then shift-click the
end of a range of images (which immediately triggers an upload of all
the images in the selected range).

It would be more useful if button releases when selecting images had
no side-effect, so that I could easily select as many images as I
want, then use the explicit button to trigger an upload.

Thanks,
