I use the copy.com service (similar to dropbox) to keep my photos synchronized with cloud storage. If I open Dolphin, select some files and move them to another folder, everything happens as expected. Files are moved locally, and then copy.com does the sync and they are moved into another folder in the cloud also. When I use digiKam to move pictures from the default image-upload folder to new albums, something goes wrong. The pictures are moved locally to a new folder, as expected. On my copy.com cloud account a new folder is created with the pictures I moved, this is right also. Then, copy.com thinks I should still have the images in their original place also, and re-downloads all of them again to their previous location, basically leading to duplication. I contacted the copy.com team, and they suggested I should contact you instead.
Try use DropBox kipi plugin tool to handle dropbox web service. This tool have been introduced with 4.0.0 release
This is not a dropbox service. This is about copy.com service.
Hello Patkos, unfortunately we can't help you with this problem. Copy.com is the one who offer the service and they have access to digiKam's source code. Tell them to download digiKam and investigate why their service is creating duplicates. If it's digiKam's fault, they must report it here, with all relevant information about what is wrong, so we could fix it.
New kipi-plugins 4.11.0 is available : https://www.digikam.org/node/740 Can you reproduce the problem with this release ?
