Already implemented with KIOImportExport tool and kipi-plugins 0.9.0 Option is named "Export to a remote computer"... because the lead way is to use FTP protocol. But all protocol provided by KDE are supported. export to local HDD is possible of course... Gilles Caulier Hi, This KIOImportExport tool is nice but it is difficult to understand what it does for a beginner. Maybe it would be more user friendly to have several menu entries, all pointing to this plugin with different pre-entered urls: -export using ftp ftp:// -export using ssh sftp:// -export to filesystem file:// -... Julien Julien Right Julien. Re-opened Gilles Hm, would it be enough to place a short text under the "select target" button in the export tool that explains the various protocols that can be used? Hm, if someone wants to export to a local directory or to a zip archive, there is little chance he even clicks on "export to a remote computer"... Julien Maybe another title would help there? Why not to create a submenu with all type of protocol as fish://, ftp://, smb://, nfs://, etc... and file:// of course... and preparing the url from connection dialog of course... Gilles Caulier But what do we add after the xxx://? Then we would need a dialog with login and server data for every kKIO protocol to create a valid url proposed in the dialog. My main focus is digiKam, but as an end user, I'd find "Export to KIOSlave >>> file://" pretty confusing when I'm really thinking "Copy to Folder..." it also violates http://xkcd.com/627/ :) Food for thought: I don't know if the KIOSlaves provide any sort of UI hints as to what they need to be created (WebDAV doesn't have a passive mode, Skype would have different needs, etc), but if they did "Export to Remote System..." (or possibly just "Export through KDE...") menu item could provide a submenu with "New..." and list of bookmarks. The New would open a wizard to allow easy creation of these bookmarks. The bookmarks could also be used as part of the batch processing in digiKam too, which would be pretty neat. Hm, as far as I can see, KIO doesn't provide any dialog to setup URLs. And I don't feel like this is something we need to implement. Maybe we could transform this in a feature request for KIO? Anymore opinions on this? I'm agree With comment #10. Gilles I've created a feature request in kio for a graphical dialog to set up urls. depends on bug 225777 now Git commit 45ab85b9732f59d6fd36d866c92066fa3794898a by Gilles Caulier. Committed on 23/02/2012 at 13:45. Pushed by cgilles into branch 'master'. apply patch from Parthasarathy Gopavarapu to add url history management. A new line edit can be used to enter full remote url. A combobox is used to host urls history between session.

I'm not seeing any option to export selected images to the local file system (on v5.2 OSX). All the Export-related options refer to online services instead.. ....all of which would seem harder to implement than this 'basic' functionality. Under OSX (and also Windows), this tool is not available because it use KIO which is a pain to port due to complexity of runtime. We need to found alternative to replace KIO by a pure Qt5 solution. Gilles Caulier The same problem exists in Ubuntu with the Unity desktop: The KDE protocols seem not to work properly in this environment. So there is also no working possibility to export images to a local folder outside the watched albums. Maik, Ahs we have now 2 tools to export files to - remote computer using KIO API - local computer using Qt API ... I think this file can be closed now. Gilles Export to local storage works great. And I like to integrated option for resizing. Thanks! |
