"open in console" missing in album context menu

[Daniel Bauer-2]

Hello,

just a little thing: In my digikam 5.3.0, in the album view there is no
entry for "open in console" anymore. Can I add this somehow? Or will you
re-add it in a future version again?

It was very useful for me, as I sometimes run scripts for an in a
specific directory, or open mc to do something and it saved me some
clicks. Nothing tragic, though, but would be nice to have it back :-)

Something different: the fuzzy search function is fantastic! It helped
me a lot to find duplicates I saved "somewhere" and that are not
necessary, but even more it helps me to fast find quite similar images,
like 70%... That's great for selection tasks. Thanks,
digikam-developpers! :-)

It have been removed because this function is KDE only, do not work under MacOS and Windows, and cannot be bundled in AppImage.

If Qt5 addd this kind of function in QDesktopService API, why not. This will be portable everywhere.

A possible work around : Open album in filemanager. Dolphin for ex, can embed a konsole which will follow current selected directory.
