SUMMARY Feature request: If pictures of multiple albums are exported, album structure shall be recreated in "Target Location" via folders (Would be nice to have a checkmark in export dialog like "Preserve Album Structure"). EXAMPLE: Album Structure: A |-B | |-ab1.jpg | |-ab2.jpg | |-ab3.jpg |-D |-ad1.jpg |-ad2.jpg C |-c1.jpg Target Location: (/tmp/test) /tmp/test |-A | |-B | | |-ab1.jpg | | |-ab2.jpg | | |-ab3.jpg | |-D | | |-ad1.jpg | | |-ad2.jpg |-C |-c1.jpg WORKFLOW REASON: I administrate all my pictures via digikam on a Linux Machine. To carry these pictures around on tablets/smart phones/etc, I want to create a reduce quality copy, which is organized the same way. This allows to find a picture on smart phone in the already well known Album/Folder structure. MY WORKAROUND At the moment I trigger imagemagick from a script, which traverses the picture folders. But it's a hassle to write around not using pictures, which have an improved version available. Plus some of my content is in dngs. These I export currently all into dngexport directory. The script if it encounters a dng to export, will lookup the picture in the dngexport directory and copy it from there. It works, but it feels, like there should be an easier way.

Hi Maik, I know it's awfully late, but for various reasons I just now found time to test the implementation. It worked flawless for me and is exactly what I expected. It's a huge time and hassle saver for me. I think I will do picture sorting and exporting much more frequently and not let pictures mount unsorted on my drive, do to the much improved workflow :) Thank you very much! Regards michstress
