Description Jürgen Weber 2024-10-25 19:34:43 UTC
In the context menue of an image thumb there should be two entries to copy image path (on disk) and image properties (those that are shown in the properties tooltip) to clipboard.
Comment 1 Maik Qualmann 2024-10-26 06:14:29 UTC
Copying the image path is already available in the context menu function "Copy". We write in the clipboard metadata not only the file URL, but also as a text list. So if you use a text editor, it will take the text part and insert the paths as a list.

How do you present the properties? The tooltip is basically formatted as HTML. How should the properties be inserted into other programs (in which ones)? As HTML, text or image data?

I do not see metadata after pasting into mousepad:
file:///home/weberjn/Pictures/phototest/b/IMG_7969.JPG

> present the properties
I thought of simple text, but it would be nice, if csv could be configured.

Anyway, it is surprising, that after copy in digiKam you cannot paste into Thunar. 
I'd rather expect that copy results in something that can be pasted into Thunar, and copy path results in something, that can be pasted into a text editor.

Paste URL/Text works fine here in Dolphin or Kate.
Which platform are you using?

Comment 4 Jürgen Weber 2024-10-27 14:11:51 UTC
I tried

Devuan GNU/Linux 5 (daedalus), DigiKam 7.9.0, Thunar 4.18.4
FreeBSD 14.1, DigiKam 8.4.0, Thunar 4.18.11

The paste menue in Thunar is greyed out after the copy command in digiKam.
