GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 566810
Image properties dialog too big for netbooks
Last modified: 2009-07-25 17:27:32 UTC
Please describe the problem: The "Image properties" dialog does not fit on the screen of a common netbook (600px high) when Metadata->Details is expanded. The user can see the treeview with data but buttons are out of the screen. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open an image with EXIF information (taken by a digital camera for example) 2. Open "Image properties" dialog 3. Show "Metadata" tab 4. Click on "Details" expander Actual results: The dialog resizes itself to accomodate the treevie, but due to small screen the dialog buttons are out fo the screen Expected results: Dialog buttons should be visible Does this happen every time? Yes Other information: Maybe the treeview should be on a separate tab "Advanced metadata", this way the control could be bigger and more usable all the time
I have code doing this done in my local checkout. Will push to git.gnome.org tonight or tomorrow.
Got the UI elements together quicker than I thought. commit a1c8d6f3b7a2c0459e75b6cbce281751f6376671 Author: Felix Riemann <> Date: Sat Jul 25 17:21:26 2009 +0200 Bug 566810 – Image properties dialog too big for netbooks Add an option to have the detailled metadata list widget shown on its own notebook page in the properties dialog. This should avoid moving the dialog buttons off the screen on smaller displays. This is currently a GConf-only option. Ignore the last line. The UI elements were added in another commit. This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
