           Summary: wish: export to folder
           Product: digikam
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: medgingto yahoo com


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.5)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

It would be nice to have an option in the export menu "Export to folder..." which allows the user to select (and optionally create) any arbitrary directory in the filesystem, and where the currently selected images (or albums -- which is another request - the ability to select simultaneously multiple albums/tags/dates/etc.) will be exported (copied) to.  This is useful, for example, when one wants to copy several images on to a USB stick.

It can easily be done on a different way. Open the konqueror, create a directory, switch to digikam, select the relevant images and drag them to the konqueror in the just created directory. Konqueror asks for moving, copying or linking the file. You've exported the files to a folder :-).

As another user suggested this, I was going to add a generic KIO output location as a Sink in the upcoming Kipi Plugin - Sync.

Progress is slow tho' so it may be a direct support is also written into Digikam. Gilles, what do you think?

If you think this is correct, then please mark this as a duplicate of bug 143978

Colin,

Using the same way to export pictures is fine for me. Using your future Sync kipi plugin will give an univeral tool to do it under others kipi hosts.

User can use Copy and paste between digiKam/Konqueror. We can wait your Sync plugin without problem.

I Mark this file like dupplicate than #143978

Gilles

The problem with the method described above is that you cannot perform any modifications to the images first (e.g., resizing). Normally I would like to export to another folder, so that I can modify the copies. But because once you copy the images to a folder outside of the Digikam albums hierarchy, you can't manipulate them in Digikam!

So it would still be nice (and probably easy) to have this option "export to folder", where you could resize the images or perform other batch processes during the export.

This is not true. digiKam has a very powerfull image framework named DImg witch can do what you want "à la QImage" but with more functions, like color management, metadata preservation, 16 bits color depth support, etc...

I found this bug looking for help to copy smaller versions of my photos on to an SD card to put on my Wii.  I.e. using the batch resize but with a destination that lies outside the digikam library.

Fair comment Hot Belgo.

As with current Gallery Export and I think Flickr etc. there is the option to resize before upload and I'll carry this through to the Sync system.

This is not entirely generic as it does not support, as you suggest, using another plugin (batch resize in your example) as a "filter". Perhaps some form of filter spec will be created for the Sync framework? I try and think about that but please feel free to suggest on bug #143978.

Col.
