Version: 0.9.2 (using KDE KDE 3.5.6) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages OS: Linux The export menu no longer has any entries. I have tried reinstalling the packages (digikam, kipi-plugins, digikamimageplugins, showfoto) in many different combinations, and from version 9.1 and 9.2, to no avail. I booted the gusty tribe 5 cd, and the export version works just fine. I would prefer not to reinstall, but would like to find out why the menu has stopped giving choices. Any ideas?
Did you use Achim Bohnet's packages referred to at http://www.digikam.org/?q=download/binary/ ? (Sometimes running `kdeinit` just once after installation did help wonders for me in a situation sounding similar ...) Which versions are listed under "Help"/"About digikam"
Jed, All options in Export menu are provided by kipi-plugins. Check in setup/plugins page of digiKam if plugins list is available and if all tools are enable. Gilles Caulier
Tried 'kdeinit' - no dice. Versions = Kipi library 0.1.5 KExiv2 0.1.1 Exiv2 0.12.0 PNG 1.2.15beta5 Gphoto 2.3.0 The plugins page lists a lot of plugins, including the a few export ones (ipod, remote galllery, html, etc) Maybe it's time to switch to kubuntu?
Using Achim's packages upgraded me to 0.9.2 final Kipi 0.1.5 KExiv2 0.1.5 Exiv2 0.14.0 KDcraw 0.1.1 Dcraw 8.60 PNG 1.2.15beta5 Gphoto 2.3.0 Still no export menu. Thanks for all your help so far.
Achim, Whats wrong here with your packages ? Gilles
Jed, Are you installed "kipi-plugins" package on your system ? Gilles
That's really strange. I've received no other reports about problems with kipi-plugins menu entries. The 21 kipi plugins are listed and enabled in settings -> configure digikam -> kipi plugins? What's the output of strace digikam 2>&1 | grep kipi | grep /usr/lib You should get repeatedly for each plugin: open("/usr/lib/libkipi.so.0", O_RDONLY) = 3 access("/usr/lib/kde3/kipiplugin_jpeglossless.la", R_OK) = 0 stat64("/usr/lib/kde3/kipiplugin_jpeglossless.la", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=1738, ...}) = 0 Another check would be: create a new test user account and start digikam there.

I have wiped everything and re-installed kubuntu gutsy--problem solved. Thanks for your help!
*** Bug has been marked as fixed ***.
I had the same issue after installing from a gutsy backport list. I could see all the options in the Export menu but they were grayed out. removing the digikamrc file in .kde/config fixe this issue.
my bad, that should be ./.kde/share/config/digikamrc
Problem fixed in 6.0.0 where all tools are now in digiKam core
