Just simply export selected items to a local folder is missing. Maybe removing private Tags by exporting would be nice.
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
This local export option would be particularly useful for exporting images that you also wish to be auto resized; say to a USB stick for use on a digital photo frame. As it stands the user must first copy and paste to another folder and then use external tools to resize. The inbuilt export tool to One drive etc. would be ideal if it worked for local folders.

I would also find this wishlist item useful. Would like the ability to select a few images, then go to "Export" menu and have option to "Export to Local Folder". I like the ideas above to have something similar to the OneDrive export dialog where it optionally re-sizes or does other things like removing tags or GPS data. Some simplified options, but not to recreate what Batch Manager already does. I know there are other ways to do this in Batch Queue manager, or copying and pasting, but having this simplified option on the Export menu would be follow the conventions of other image programs and cover a simple but common use case. It should check to make sure you don't copy to the same folder or duplicate file names. Thanks.
Maik, With your new export tool, i think this file can be closed... Gilles
Yes, I think so, too. Maik
Implemented with 7.0.0 through Export/to Local Storage option available everywhere... Gilles Caulier
