It can easily be done on a different way. Open the konqueror, create a directory, switch to digikam, select the relevant images and drag them to the konqueror in the just created directory. Konqueror asks for moving, copying or linking the file. You've exported the files to a folder :-). As another user suggested this, I was going to add a generic KIO output location as a Sink in the upcoming Kipi Plugin - Sync. Progress is slow tho' so it may be a direct support is also written into Digikam. Gilles, what do you think? If you think this is correct, then please mark this as a duplicate of bug 143978 Colin, Using the same way to export pictures is fine for me. Using your future Sync kipi plugin will give an univeral tool to do it under others kipi hosts. User can use Copy and paste between digiKam/Konqueror. We can wait your Sync plugin without problem. I Mark this file like dupplicate than #143978 Gilles *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 143978 *** The problem with the method described above is that you cannot perform any modifications to the images first (e.g., resizing). Normally I would like to export to another folder, so that I can modify the copies. But because once you copy the images to a folder outside of the Digikam albums hierarchy, you can't manipulate them in Digikam! So it would still be nice (and probably easy) to have this option "export to folder", where you could resize the images or perform other batch processes during the export. >The problem with the method described above is that you cannot perform any >modifications to the images first (e.g., resizing).

This is not true. digiKam has a very powerfull image framework named DImg witch can do what you want "à la QImage" but with more functions, like color management, metadata preservation, 16 bits color depth support, etc...

I found this bug looking for help to copy smaller versions of my photos on to an SD card to put on my Wii. I.e. using the batch resize but with a destination that lies outside the digikam library. Fair comment Hot Belgo. As with current Gallery Export and I think Flickr etc. there is the option to resize before upload and I'll carry this through to the Sync system. This is not entirely generic as it does not support, as you suggest, using another plugin (batch resize in your example) as a "filter". Perhaps some form of filter spec will be created for the Sync framework? I try and think about that but please feel free to suggest on bug #143978. Col. |
