Overview

The digiKam main window has a sidebar along the right border that provides important information on selected images, and allows you to take actions on images. This same sidebar (except for the Filters tab) is also available in the digiKam Image Editor and the Light Table. The contents of the sidebar can be displayed by clicking on one of the eight tabs:

• Properties: File and image properties, key shooting parameters.

• Metadata: Exif, Makernotes, IPTC, XMP, and ExifTool data.

• Colors: Histograms and embedded ICC profiles.

• Maps: View to show GPS locations.

• Captions: Comments, Date & Time setting, Labels, Rating, Tags, selected metadata.

• Versions: Image history.

• Filters: Filters to apply to icon-view selection.

• Tools: An optional contextual view listing all main tools available, grouped by categories.

Clicking successively on the same tab will make the sidebar pop up or fold back into the border.
