Once you have annotated your images and videos, KPhotoAlbum is ready to let you browse through your images, see Figure 3.1, « Browser when images and videos have been annotated ». If you compare that to Figure 2.1, « Démarrer avec vosKPhotoAlbum propres images » , you will see that there now is items available in each of the categories for People, Places, and Keywords.

In the browser window you can see the categories you typed information into when annotating your images and videos. In addition there are items for searching based on EXIF information on images, browsing the folder structure of your hard disk, and of course showing the actual thumbnails. Lets describe each item in turn.

Pressing the mouse on People, the browser window will change, as you can see in Figure 3.2, « Browser window when People was selected. ».

The browser is now populated with the people you specified for your images and videos ^[3], selecting a person will bring you back to the original state for the browser, as we saw in Figure 3.1, « Browser when images and videos have been annotated », this time, however, we are in the scope of the person we selected. That means that we only shows information about images and videos containing that person. See Figure 3.3, « Navigateur limité à l'individu Jesper » below, which is the result of us selecting the Person Jesper, you can see an indication of that in the bottom of the window. Please compare Figure 3.1, « Browser when images and videos have been annotated » with Figure 3.3, « Navigateur limité à l'individu Jesper », where you will see that the number of available images and videos has gone down from 25 to 12, and the amount of items for the different categories have also changed.

If we now continue selecting a new person, then we will get to the images containing both people. Continuing that way you can narrow the set of images that you have in mind down to a few images from a set of thousands.

When you are done limiting the scope of images, you may select the View Thumbnails icon, to see exactly those images matching your current scope.

Looking at Figure 3.2, « Browser window when People was selected. » you will see that each person has the same icon in front of his name. KPhotoAlbum is actual capable of showing a preview image for each individual person ^[4] as can be seen in Figure 3.4, « Images pour chaque personne ».

To show images along with the names, choose the tool button to the very right of the toolbar, that will bring up a popup menu, where you can chose which view you want to use for the given category. Notice views must be configured for each category - that way you may for example use an icon view for people, but a plain list view for keywords (in case you can't come up with good images for your keywords).

C'est toutefois votre travail de dire quelles images vous voulez utiliser pour chaque individu. Pour cela, vous devez ouvrir la visionneuse (voir Chapitre 5, La Visionneuse) depuis le menu contextuel et choisir afficher l'éditeur de catégories. Cela affichera l'éditeur de catégories comme vous pouvez le voir sur l'image Figure 3.5, « Éditeur de catégories ». Dans cet éditeur de catégories, vous choisissez l'image pour la personne donnée. Dans la visionneuse, il est possible de zoomer sur l'image, et, de cette manière, de choisir la partie de l'image qui sera affichée.
