It would be very handy to upload photos directly from digikam to photobucket (www.photobucket.com)

+1 !

Photobucket is one of the most popular photo storage sites. In addition, it supports direct linking of full resolution images even in the free plan :-)
Comment 2 Todd 2010-08-22 18:47:12 UTC
I agree, this is definitely a much-needed feature.  Photobucket is a very popular image hosting service and one of the few nowadays that allows for directly showing full-resolution images on 3rd-party sites.

+1. Please create a plugin for uploading to Photobucket.

This is a 2 year old request but unfortunately with only 3 comments it doesn't seem to be in so much demand :(

I  propose this entry to a GoSC student as new project for this summer. Wait and see...

WARNING : with digiKam 6.0.0 and later, we will not support kipi interface anymore. All tools are now located in digiKam core as well for a plan to provide a more power-full integration with Batch Queue Manager and to be able to export a workflow on a web-service.

All export tools are now available everywhere : album view, Image editor, Light table, and Showfoto. Previously, only album view from digiKam core was able to deal with export tools through libkipi.

All export tools are now located here :

https://cgit.kde.org/digikam.git/tree/core/utilities/assistants/webservices

All export tools use now a dedicated interface to communicate with the application : 

- digiKam (database) : 

https://cgit.kde.org/digikam.git/tree/core/libs/database/utils/ifaces/dbinfoiface.h

- Showfoto (files metadata) : 

https://cgit.kde.org/digikam.git/tree/core/utilities/assistants/common/dmetainfoiface.h


There is not direct use of digiKam database for compatibility with Showfoto.

We plan later to provide a dynamic loading of export tools using a plugins mechanism. This will reduce overloading of the internal core libraries. A dedicated devel branch have been created for that, but it's not yet complete:

https://cgit.kde.org/digikam.git/tree/?h=development/dplugins

But take a care, digiKam export tools as plugins will not be shared with another external application. API will still private and only shared between Showfoto and digiKam core. The experience with libkipi was bad and complex to maintain/extend in time.
