Description Martux 2016-08-10 17:22:34 UTC
Dolphin should be capable of making use of the kipi-plugins, so for example pictures can be uploaded to *service* directly.

Reproducible: Always

kipi support was dropped from Gwenview a year ago. The reasons for this are mentioned in the commit https://invent.kde.org/graphics/gwenview/-/commit/0f39bcc72b9078f16e343749f56aa8dff55a14dc:

>KIPI offers export functionality for various external services
> 
>However it has been abandoned from its original authors and receives no real development any more
> 
>A lot, if not all of its providers are defunct and it severly lacks UI polish
> 
>Gwenview already has integration with Purpose which offers a similar
>(albeit theoretically reduced) functionality with a much more polished
>experience

It was also discussed on Phabricator and a mailing list IIRC. For these reasons it is most likely not a good idea to put any more work into kipi support.

>pictures can be uploaded to *service* directly.

For many *service* there are context menu plugins which can be installed from the settings that allow direct upload. That's probably good enough for now.
