Hi there,

I wonder being able to export a list of files from the thumbnails view: for example select files in the thumbnails view, then click right, and then having an option like "generate a file with list of these file paths".
Why?
Due to the complexity of the raw format and some important issues with this kind of files you have disabled writing metadata in raw files. 
It's a shame for me because I shoot only in raw.

My tests have show that on my cr2 files, exiftool is able to write metadatas. 
So I would like to write them with exiftool (either by collecting them from your database, or by settings them manually in exiftool command line params). 
Having an option which allow to select some filespaths from digikam would be very time earning in this task.

Regards

Hi gilles,

I didn't know this feature and this is exactly what I was looking for.
Many thanks!

You can also use the BQM with the user shell script. Just create a script in which you make the changes with exiftool. You also have access to tags, color label, comments etc.
