Inplace image information in Thumbnail overview #46

Closed tschoeni closed 6 years ago

tschoeni commented 6 years ago

The thumbnail overview page has no basic information (e.g. Filename, ID, ) on the individual images. Users asked for solutions like a tooltip (currently shows "Annotate this image") or a button that toggles the visibility of this information for all images in the overview.

We had requests to show the image filenames in the past, too ( #6 ). We resolved this by implementing the image filename filter. Users can apply this filter to search for individual images or for a range of images using wildcards. There is also the global search that allows searching for images by filename. Other than searching for particular images, I can't think of a use case where displayed image filenames make sense. The filter and global search are more efficient, too. Proper documentation for all filters is on the roadmap ( #44 ).

What do users need the image ID for?

Ah there is the issue .. well please re-open.

mzur commented 6 years ago

It's still open (for discussion). We haven't talked about this issue yet.

Closing this for now. Please re-open if you find a use case for this that is not covered by the features I mentioned above.
