This wish doesn't really make sense. Images to be exported can also come from a tag, date or search album. We then have images from different physical albums. Which album name should we use then? Maik I am talking about the specific situation when a user right-clicks on an album and chooses Export to Google Photos from the resulting context menu. As the user has specifically chosen this action on an album I believe the context is clear. With the current implementation, having export as a context-menu item for an album doesn't really make sense as the export appears to actually act on the currently selected photos and disregards the context that the export was triggered on a specific album. See also bug 479852. One solution would be to simply remove the context menu option as I believe it is misleading. However, the ability to easily export an album to Google Photos would be a useful feature. In bug 47985, Maik Qualmann said: > Ok, I understand, you use the export via the context menu of the album tree view. I've never used that before. We currently cannot distinguish whether the export is started via the album tree view or item view Would it be possible to add an argument to the exporter that provides a suggestion for the album name and then pass that argument when launching the exporter from the context menu?

How should this work? With the 28/01/2024 13:06 8.3.0 snapshot I do not see an album name set when I right-click on an album and select Export to Google Photos. The album remains set to <auto-create> and the export results in the photos not being added to any album. I would expect that in this situation the Google album would be set to the name of the selected digiKam album and the Google album would be created by the export. In the create new album dialog, the album name is already set and no longer needs to be entered. If a Google Photo album with the album name exists, it will be automatically selected. We won't automatically create Google Photo albums. Maik Okay, understood. I've confirmed that it works this way for me with the snapshot build. Thanks! |
