Because this option have been removed since a long time from album content menu to reduce menu size.

If this option is always availab from Album context menu then we have forget to remove it (:=)))

Any viewpoint about this point ?

Gilles Caulier

Well, to export an album, I want to click on this album. Clicking on the album, and then moving up to the menubar doesn't seem very natural. In fact, I can see no reason to have the context menu different from the Album menu of the menubar (except the global option like "quit", which have actually nothing to do in an "Album" menu - but that you expect at the end of the first item of the menubar for some reason).

Furthermore, for me, export is the dual of import. So, wherever I see "import", I want to see an "export" just beside (well, like in the Album menu from the menubar).
