Description Jaakko Kyrö 2007-05-09 15:36:34 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.6)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

My mother often wants to send images via email. She can use digikam to pull them out of the camera alright. The procedure to perform this from within Digikam is working nicely. 

However, in many occasions it would be more straightforward to just write a new email and then have a digikam-like view from here to pick the images. Something like albums:/ kioslave that would expose the albums in a filesystem-like manner that could be displayed in the KDE filedialog. 

The reason for a separate kioslave would be that it could offer virtual folders for tags, dates etc. If there is one already, I'd at least like to know about it.

Would be great for usability, I think.

Actually listing albums, tags, dates and searches is based on kioslaves, but they cannot be used to display virtual folders. With the exception of digikamalbums:/, which works just like file:/ ;-)

So this features needs to be implemented in the future.

Trying digikamalbums:/, got the following error:

An error occurred while loading digikamalbums:/:
Unknown error
Album Library Path not supplied to kioslave

What's going on?

I think 109631 is the same as the kioslave-part of this wish. This wish additionally includes the wish for a Digikam KPart, which is completely different.
Apart from that, the answer from Renchi in 109631 is still true today.

Jaako: The error you get is normal. I was not aware I was running the ioslave of the db-consolidation branch here on my system, which for some reason works a bit differently. But still, the other ioslave do not contain a listDir implementation.

digKam KIO slaves have been removed since 5.0.0 and replaced by a
multi-threaded interface.
