Easy way to simply copy selected files out of Digikam?

Chris Green
Is there no way to select a number of pictures in Digikam and then
copy them to some other directory?  I want to copy a number of
pictures to an SD memory card but I can't see an easy way to do it.

I suppose I could go via a CD but that seems a bit of a roundabout way
of doing it.

Try drag-and-drop into a konqueror window. This works fine for me.

What's konqueror?  Well, I sort of know but I'm running an fvwm2
desktop with virtually no GUI applications at all.  I really want a
way to ask Digikam to write selected files to a specified (as in I
type it in) directory.

At the moment I have created a 'destination' album in Digikam and I'm
dragging and dropping to there for subsequent copying which is OK but
not perfect.

You can add additional actions for the RMB menu, see
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=88932#c7

So you just need a simple script which would run over all the marked
files and copy them somewhere.

E.g, in the example given in the above bug you could use
the following python snippet (untested!):
    for fname in sys.argv[1:]
        print fname
        command =  """ cp -p "%s" "/tmp/COPY/" """ % fname
        print command
  # un-comment the following line if the script works ...
        #os.system(command)

HTH, Arnd

Useful, thank you.  ... and it's python which I know a little.

Hey, I learned a lot from this. This is exactly the mechanism I want for my
perl-program to write gps-derived location names into the image files...

Thanks for the hint -- Markus
