Agree that menu entry would be nice (I am asking for that for a looong
time) but doesn't simple drag'n'drop working for you?
Select your photos and drag into Konqueror folder or Desktop. This is
not very convenient because Digikam works best when in full screen but
this works. I don't know how it works through the network but KIO-slaves
should do everything for you.
the problem with drag-and-drop out of tags to a different folder is that many a times you have files with the same names (but in different folders) and you will end up having to rename files continually. This is best implemented as a kipi-plugin which will be smart about renaming files automatically (and optionally also resize/recompress the files). Saw this feature in picasa over the weekend and is a very convenient tool. I would also like such a feature, since drag-and-drop is a pain when you're working in full-screen. In general, I think that exporting options are weak with DigiKam. One should be able to export whatever is beeing showed at the moment, like an advanced search! I've already felt the necessity of exporting the result from an advanced search, but couldn't do it straight from DigiKam. I vote on this option! Implemented with KIOExport plugin.
