This is not right : go to an album and unselect all items ("select/select none" menu entry). Now start Batch Rename image tool : all items from current album are available in the list.
This is want mean (and it's logic) that the tool use the current selected items from an album, or, if none, all items.
Gilles Caulier
Yes, but for me what is logic is: - when I make an action in album list it takes all album images - when the action is made in images list, it takes selected images Another related question is why selecting an album select the first image. Without such feature, I would not see anything and do not enter this bug :) Jerome is right. In such situation user can expect menu will automatically select all images without further actions from the user. Mik, This depand of current selection processed by user. For me this entry is invalid... Andi, Marcel, Arnd ? Gilles Caulier I don't know, for me it sounds right. When I select an album in folder view and want to apply batch actions on it, I expect it to select all images. When I select an image range in the thumbnail view, I expect it to take only those images. Andi And for me the behaviors is fine currently... Gilles Caulier I still think the behavior is wrong. Right click an album, Batch->Export to Flickr. I expect digiKam to add all images to FlickrExport, not the first item in the iconview. Otherwise I would have chosen the main menu entry. So we either need to change this behavior or remove the actions from the album context menu completely. To me this is clear :) I mean what is an album? An album is a collection of images. So when I right click on an album and say Export to Flickr, I want to export the ALBUM (a collection of images), or, in other words, I want ALL of the images to be exported. With the current implementation it is not possible anyway, since we simply use the global action from the export menu, which always acts on the selected images. So again: Either change this completely or just remove it. I would vote for removing the KIPI menus from the album context menu. >So again: Either change this completely or just remove it.

If yu do it, you will see a new entry fro users to restore it (:=))). I have already tried to do it in the past...

That's the problem with users :-) No really, the behavior is just wrong. Imagine dolphin: I right click on a folder to delete it, and it just removes the first image (or the selected ones in split view mode) instead the whole folder :-) The way it is now the export menu simply doesn't make sense. "Import" makes sense, but "Export" and "Batch" simply behave not correctly. We should gather other opinions on this :) (In reply to comment #8) > To me this is clear :) I mean what is an album?

IMHO i give the point to Andi, if I selelect a Album I want want to operate on my selection (in this case the whole album). Another point is: There is a realy nice & powerfull toy, called BQM, with color adjust, advanced rename, rotate, color correction, reencode, shear - Why do we have these single kipi batch tools ins album right click menu and the general menu bar. I find it confusing having different tools for the same thing. So I suggest to drop them and pull in a BQM link. Jens As I wrote AdvancedRename, I removed the "rename" KIPI plugin, since it doesn't make sense anymore. But some of the other KIPI tools are not (yet) BQM tools, so they are still usable in some way. Still I think that our current behavior is wrong, selecting an album should select all images... but I made my point clear before already :-) Export Plugins Problems I am a user who discovers that digiKam and previously used Acdsee Windows. I am pleasantly surprised by the amount of exports offered digiKam. When handling image collections (albums), and you select one or more images for which you wish to apply a given action (eg rotation, renumbering, export to picasa, Piwigo etc. ...) that This action applies to the selection. As a user, I note that this simple concept, logical and full of common sense does not apply to exports from other to picasa and Piwigo (I have not tested the others). In fact only the first frame of the selection is exported! It is absurd to have to ask the user to select the images in folders! (This may however be suggested) Do not tell me that it is not a bug! I suggest some consistency in the development of similar plugins. Regards, PG (Translated from french by http://translate.google.com) Pierre, Concerning Piwigo export plugin, it's not the expected behaviour. So, could you open a new bug report ? I can't reproduce the problem, so I'll be glad if you could provide me some debug log. Created attachment 43343 [details]

Frederic, this is nothing specific to piwigo, it is the same for all exporters. The usability problem is that all context-menu actions like 'New', 'Rename', 'Open in File Manager', 'Delete', 'Options' work on the current selection - the album, only export options work on selected images inside album.
Regards, Jens
I could provide a solution for the export problem: When an action is hovered in the export menu, select all images in the album automatically. When the action is triggered, images get deselected again. This works pretty well... what do you think? Commit will follow... SVN commit 1179475 by aclemens: Auto-select all images in an album when an action in the export menu is hovered. CCBUG: 125042 M +11 -0 contextmenuhelper.cpp WebSVN link: http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=1179475 The problem is that if you decide not to export the album, all images are still selected. I can not use "aboutToHide()" for deselection, because this signal is emitted too early, so that no image will be exported. SVN commit 1181333 by aclemens: Use a timer to deselect the images when export menu loses focus.
