Created attachment 60587 [details] Picasaweb Export Screenshot Version: 1.9.0 (using KDE 4.6.2) OS: Linux I would love to see a Skip and Skip All button when I export one or more photos to Picasaweb which already exists in the same album. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Upload a set of photos to Picasaweb via digiKam (right click folder > Export > Export to Picasaweb). Close the Export to Picasa Web Service once upload is complete. Repeat the first step to upload the same set of photos to the same album on Picasaweb. Actual Results: In the last step, once you click Start Upload, you will be prompted "A linked item already exists" with destination and source thumbnails. The following are available; Add As New, Add all, Replace, Replace All and Cancel. Expected Results: I would expect to have Skip and Skip all options available. If one clicks Cancel, the entire export will stop. A use case would be someone wants to keep a folder containing photos on their HDD in sync with one in Picasaweb. This folder contains hundreds of photos. The folder has been uploaded to Picasaweb using KIPI's Picasaweb plugin and digiKam. Later, a few more photos has been added to the same folder on their HDD. The user wishes to upload these new photos to the same Album on Picasaweb without having to manually find and select exactly which one are new. Currently one can click Replace All to achieve what is set out in my example use case but this could waste unnecessary time and bandwidth.
This file still valid using kipi-plugins 2.4 ? Gilles Caulier
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. Gilles Caulier
