Not quite what I'm after though.  It's trivial (and easier to be
honest) to copy files from one computer to another using rsync or scp
so the "Exporter vers un ordinateur distant" option doesn't do much
for me.

What I want[ed] was a way to export a chunk of my Digikam album to a
place that would show them on the web in the same (or at least
similar) arrangement.

I have my albums organised by date, e.g. I have:-


    ...
    ...
    pictures
        1960s
        1970s
        1980s
        1990s
        2000s
        2010s
            2010
            2011
            2012
            2013
            2014
            2015
                01
                02
                03
                04
                05
                06
                    02
                    03
                    04
                    05
                    06
                    07

What I want to be able to do is export the whole of
~/pictures/2010s/2015/06 which happens to be all the pictures I took
on one holiday.

Hmm, OK, but that's only adding individual pictures to a previous
selection.  How do I select one folder with (say) 20 images in it and
then add another folder with (say) 30 images in it?
