Description Simon 2016-12-18 13:32:44 UTC

There are bugs (see links below) related to this tool which cannot be solved currently as it is still based on KIO. Please rewrite when convenient.

An easy workaround is to start a file manager and navigate to the desired destination, then drag and drop the files from digikam.

Comment 2 Maik Qualmann 2017-01-01 17:31:58 UTC

I think this is not the right way. A KDE plasma user with working KIO plugins can now no longer use KIO protocols. Better is, this kipiplugin under Debian not to activate until it is ported.

Comment 4 Luigi Toscano 2017-01-03 22:17:45 UTC

Can you please decide on a proper solution, and/or discuss this on kde-devel@? I suspect you are cutting some choice for some categories of users, hardcoding some values that the user expect to be set somewhere else (with an integration plugin for example).

Comment 5 Twilight Sparkle 2017-02-14 06:00:50 UTC

Please remember Windows users as well...

Comment 6 Maik Qualmann 2017-03-25 19:07:59 UTC

*** Bug 378066 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Comment 7 Christoph Feck 2017-03-31 16:36:29 UTC

Why can these bugs not be resolved when using KIO? If there are bugs in KIO preventing use, they should be reported to KIO developers.

Comment 8 Twilight Sparkle 2017-09-12 13:50:58 UTC

Bug still present in digiKam 5.7.  Unable to export to folder on Windows.

Comment 10 Twilight Sparkle 2018-06-12 14:11:12 UTC

5.90 on windows 7 64, still unable to export images.

A side note.... shouldn't this bug description of the problem be changed to "Can't use any export that uses the kio system anywhere that isn't linux?"

Comment 11 caulier.gilles 2019-03-01 02:10:03 UTC

To comment #10 : no, as only this digiKam tool using KIO run-time in background.
