Description Johannes Nieß 2010-08-25 23:00:10 UTC

Version:           unspecified
OS:                Linux

Instead of exporting selected pictures as a physical copy of a file "cp a.jpg other\dir\a.jpg" create a symbolic link in a selected base directory "ln -s a.jpg other\dir\a.jpg".

Use case: Simple and space saving KDE wall papers.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Similar to bug 202094 -  Make use of symlinks

Comment 2 Johannes Nieß 2010-08-25 23:23:45 UTC

Equivalent and more general feature already avaialble via KDE drag and drop to dolpin:
1) Select pictures in digikam
2) Drag and drop into dolphin file manager window while holding Ctrl+Shift

Terminating my own wish list item as invalid. Sorry for the noise.
