I could not find a way to export a photo from the albums view to a folder on my computer, which is quite strange. E.g., when using an online service where I need to upload some photos (not one of the usual photo sites which are already covered by the export plugins), I usually collect the desired photos on a temporary location where I can easily find them for upload. Only solution I could find is to open the photo with the default app, and from there save it to my local target.
you can use to export images with the remote storage tool. Use file manager with Album->Open in File Manager. Or context menu with the right mouse button->Copy... Maik
... or use Drag & drop between digiKam and file manager... Very simple... Gilles Caulier
Still feels like a UX bug to me, though. Using a separate "remote storage tool" is quite overblown for such a simple usecase, and using "Album->Open in File manager" still forces me to search for the image again, which is cumbersome. Drag&Drop is an option, but still forces me to open the target folder in Dolphin first, quite a workaround and not straight forward. What about a simple standard menu action in the "Item" menu like "Save As..."?
