Right now if you select "Open in terminal emulator" in the album view, a separate konsole window is opened. It would be great if - similar as in konqueror when you select "Show terminal emulator" - the terminal window could also be just a widget shown below the album view. It would be even greater if it could follow the currently viewed album directory as e.g. in kile (which automatically sends "cd $newdir ; clear" to the terminal widget when you select a file in a different directory).
This is not the goal of digiKam to manage item with command line. Gilles Caulier
