Resizing / Sharpening / Exporting a batch of pictures

[tosca]

Hi,

From what I understand about working with RAW, photos need to be sharpened at the very last editing step, that is after being resized.

I usually need to export my pictures to one of these destinations: Piwigo galleries, Facebook, Picasaweb, or some folder outside Digikam collections for creating photos books with Scribus.

Digikam batch tool is very convenient for resizing and sharpening (as well as a lot of many other things), but the destination can only be an inside folder.
Piwigo, Facebook and Picasaweb exports can do the resizing when exporting, but they don't provide sharpening.
Export to a remote computer, that I use to export to an external folder, doesn't do anything aside from copying.

Wouldn't it be possible to have access to all of the export functions from the batch queue manager, so we could resize, sharpen and export in one go?

Thanks for yours answers,
Marie-Noëlle

No, it's not yet implemented, but it's planed in the future. We need
to extend libkipi and patch all export tool to be plugable in BQM.
It's not a simple task. There is already a file in bugzilla about this
subject.

Thanks, Gilles.

Considering the developers team usual efficiency for adding new functionalities, I feel quite confident for the future.
