How to copy selected photos outside Digikam

[tosca]

I'm looking for a simple way to copy a selection of photos in a directory that is not managed by Digikam.

The batch tool won't do it.
Copy/paste doesn't work.

At the moment, I'm creating a sub-album in Digikam, and intend to move it elsewhere once I've put in it all the photos I need.

Is there a simplest way to achieve that?

Thanks for sharing your ideas,
Marie-Noëlle

You can simple drag&drop the files into the destination directory...

Copy and paste my work as well.

You copy between digiKam and what ?

Yes, copy & paste works fine here, too. At least with dolphin...

I use Gnome, so the file manager is Nautilus, isn'it?
I can copy the selection in Digikam, but "Paste" is greyed in Nautilus.

Digikam is on an external drive, and I want to copy onto the HDD, but I don't think that is relevant.

Copy&Paste does not work with Nautilus, Drag&Drop works, but it only
moves(!) the image to Nautilus (and deletes in the digiKam album).
Pressing CTRL or SHIFT keys does not have any effect.

Drag&Drop from Nautilus to digiKam results in confirmation on the
action: copy or move is available.

regards,
Milan

I have created a temporary tag (called e.g. "Selected"), and I tag all
photos I want to copy with that tag. When done, I filter on that tag
using "Tag filters", select all and choose "Export"->"Export to remote
computer" to export the selected photos (generally to usb). I guess you
could also delete the tagged photos if you want.

Cheers,

Johnny

I have no "Export to remote computer" in the Export menu. And I don't see any setting that might be related to this function in the Configuration menu.

Which Digikam version do you use?
Did you do something special to get this export function?

Thanks,
Marie-Noëlle

I used the "Export to remote computer" function just yesterday - it did the job perfectly.

I would like to ... if somebody can tell me how/where to find this function.
I have nothing like that in Digikam 1.5.0

I need to group in one directory all the photos I want to create a book with.
They come from several Digikam albums, and I won't use all of them, so I need to make a selection, then copy them to another folder.

That's what I did ... with the caveat that the new folder has to be created inside the Digikam albums hierarchy.
Once the copy is done, it can be moved to its final destination.

My solution was simple:
1.) I tag all of the images throughout my system that I want to place in
the book (for instance tag as "my book1").
2.) Create a new folder to hold the images.
3.) Sort my entire images on the "my book" tag, then select all.
4.) Copy over to the new folder

The "Export to remote computer" function is in the Export menu (along with Export to Facebook, Flickr, etc.).  I'm using digikam 1.5 on ubuntu 10.10.

I used the function to copy a selection of photos (selected by specific tag) to a removable usb drive.
