newbie question

[lexthoonen]

Hi people,

newbie alert...

I'm checking the docs etc but haven't been able to find this yet
(hopefully rather simple):

I come from lightroom/windows and am pretty serious about
linux/digikam. However, one thing I do a lot is not as obvious to me:

Normally, in a folder I'd rate an amount of images with a star (or
more). Those I then select and then...

(sofar so good with digikam)

in lightroom i used to
a) go to export, where I pointed to a local folder
b) rename the pictures with incrementing number behind it
c) set dimensions (1024px longest side)
d) and have it export the selected images.

Those Iwould then upload to my gallery2.

Now, I'm not using gallery2 anymore, as I've redone my site to a
joomla site, and joomla and gallery2 together makes for a very slow
site. So I thought I'd try joomlagallery. Seems fine sofar, serveing
its purpose, but in digikam i haven't yet found out how to do 'a)'
here above, how to export resized images to a local folder (and leave
the originals in the original size).

'b)' would be nice, but is not very important.

Is 'a)' possible and if so, how?

Thanks!

ok, this is probably not the right place to ask this question, sorry
for that. What is a good place to ask it?

Thanks!

Better place would be digikam-users list.

But - digiKam doesn't offer way to export to local folder outside of
collection. Yes, it bother me too.

My workflow is: create new album, rate images, filter by rating, Ctrl+A, drag
to new album, use copy option and perform there various operations, export at
the end.

In near future you can use Batch Queue Manager make export to album inside
collection, with renaming and resizing in one step. Export in second.
