Version: 0.9-svn (using KDE KDE 3.5.3) Compiler: gcc-4.1.1 OS: Linux I've just discovered this problem. I've tried to copy a folder (album) from the My Albums digikam list to the desktop. To do it I tried to drag the album to the desktop. That action works perfectly when I try to drag pictures from digikam to some folder; but it doesn't work with albums. I get the following error (in spanish): El archivo o carpeta digikamalbums://%2Fhome%2Fuser%2Ffotos@ /Granada%202005/2006.digikam_properties no existe. In english it would be something lik: The file or folder digikamalbums://%2Fhome%2Fuser%2Ffotos@ /Granada%202005/2006.digikam_properties doesn't exist. The folder is created in the destination but no images are copied. Probably the problem is related with the white spaces that exist in the path. I suppose that other non english characters like á,ü,... could have the same problem.
Same here, this is really annoying if one wants to copy pictures. It has nothing to do with non-ascii chatacters in the album's name, it happens for every album. A workaround is to choose "skip" for the .digikam_properties file which the copy dialogue complains about.
Marcel, I can reproduce this problem here, excepted than with digiKAm 0.9.0, the all album content is copied properlly in all case. There is no problem with space or non-latin characters in album/file naming. But the copy action ask to user something about '.digikam_properties' file... This is relevant of digikam/kioslave/digikamalbum.cpp implementation (line 542/736/1070. Do you know this part in kio-slave ? Gilles
Copying without problems but digiKam still asks about .digikam_properties file.
Marcel, Can you take a look please ? Gilles
This is a pseudo file that is added to copy the album's properties - but I dont know for what this is needed. We can try to remove it and then see if anything is broken.
This problem still exists... I will take a look at it today... Andi
We could just remove this pseudo file as Marcel mentioned, but then I guess we will break the functionality inside of digiKam. Right now this file seems to be used when copying folders in digiKam and update the albumDB with this file, but actually we can not copy albums at all in the AlbumGUI? As long as it will copy files to your desktop or into other applications and the only thing you have to do is pressing "Skip", I think we can live with it right now. I will not touch this anymore because I'm not too much into kioslaves and changes in here might affect other functions in digiKam as well. Andi
Andi, I'm agree. It still a Marcel job. Marcel, please take a look what can be do here. Thanks in advance... Gilles Caulier
I put it on my TODO list. For 0.9.x, again, we can simply remove it as I dont see where we need it, but then we might introduce a bug somewhere.
Marcel, I think this file is solved with 0.10.0. Right ? Gilles Caulier
I am not Marcel :-) , but it was fixed yesterday (or 2 days ago)... Andi
Oh I get confused, too much bugreports to read today... :-) I just answered for the wrong report, sorry. Forget my post above (comment #11) Andi
Yes, this problem is fixed in 0.10. We have other means of copying album metadata.
Thanks Marcel. I close this file now. Gilles Caulier
