How to copy (or export photos to external hdd?

[Stuart T Rogers]

I love digikam but the one thing which is missing for me is an easy
method to select photos from an album and copy them to a USB stick,
which is not attached to digikam as a removeable album, to give to someone.

I know I can select the photos and copy them and then paste into the
stick using Dolphin but that means copying small numbers of files at a
time as it uses memory. I may have quite a large number to copy and I
feel it would be useful if such a plugin or batch option could be added
to provide this function. I often need to copy maybe 100 or 200 photos
to pass on to someone and emailing is not an option for that number of
files.

Have I missed anything? Is there already an easy way to do this which
does not use copy/paste and does not need the USB stick added as an album?

Hi,

very simple : copy album or items to clipboard and paste it to USB
stick using Dolphin file manager

You can use also drag and drop between digKam and Dolphin

I have used the copy/paste way but I had completely forgotten about drag
n drop - silly me

"Export -> Export to remote Computer" should do the trick.

(Seriously misnamed option, as it seems to export to a directory on the
/local/ computer)

It would be nice, though, to be able to point the batch queue to an external
folder, and not only to digikam albums. Is this possible?

Not yet. There is an entry in bugzilla.

A contributor has already strated to implement it in a dedicated
branch, but i don't take a look since few weeks in this code, due to a
lots of work to follow with current 4.0.0-beta3.

This is delayed for later at this moment...

Thank for the information, and for your ongoing great work!

That is exactly what I needed and I agree it is a seriously misnamed
option. I suspect the word remote was intended to mean outside of
digikam. I had noticed the plugin but to me that description means
export to a network computer not a folder on the same computer. Of
course in Linux you can mount a network folder and use that.

May I suggest that this plugin is named more appropriately for its function.

Hi
The best would be to have two panels in digikam, as in konqueror
