<p>Hi everyone,<br>
I use Digikam (5.8.0 on Windows) mostly to select and publish
pictures on a Wordpress blog.</p>
<p>My current workflow is the following:<br>
</p>
<ul>
<li>Import pictures in DK, group pictures (I shoot RAW+JPEG but
only use JPEG so far).<br>
</li>
<li>"Cull" pictures (delete the bad ones, highlight the one I want
to keep with stars)</li>
<li>Once culled, I populate for each a Title and a Legend. Both
fields are later recognised in wordpress.</li>
<li>Then I sometime process the pictures within the editor (crop,
auto levels)</li>
<li>I resize and rename the pictures with the batch processing
(sometime use auto levels in batch as well). The reduced
pictures are put in an "upload" folder</li>
<li>I upload the pictures in Wordpress using the Wordpress
interface.</li>
<li>Once in Wordpress, I can use my images.<br>
</li>
</ul>
<p><br>
This takes a LOT of time. I'm looking for any ideas on how to
speed up this process ?<br>
<br>
As far as I searched, there is no export plugin that works with
Wordpress. The closest solution I have seen (but not tried) would
be an export to email (from Digikam) + publish by email (in
wordpress)
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://scribblesandsnaps.com/2011/01/12/publish-photos-on-a-wordpress-blog-from-digikam/">https://scribblesandsnaps.com/2011/01/12/publish-photos-on-a-wordpress-blog-from-digikam/</a>).
However this approach is to publish post directly, not just upload
media.<br>
<br>
Regarding Title/Legend, this is one of the longest part of the
process. To get it faster, I copy/paste the same stuff in the two
entries. Is there a way (user script?) to do that automatically?
Is there a way to assign the "TAB" key to switch between text area
(instead of inserting a tab in the text area) ?<br>
<br>
Regarding the resize, one issue: the batch processing should allow
to resize "by %". This is actually possible from the editor
("Transform > Resize"). I'm stitching a lot of panorama and
usually resize them by 50% (instead of a fixed length/width).<br>
<br>
Are there any plans to have a similar plugin in Digikam as LR/Blog
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.photographers-toolbox.com/products/lrblog.php">https://www.photographers-toolbox.com/products/lrblog.php</a>) or
WP/LR Sync (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://apps.meow.fr/wplr-sync/">http://apps.meow.fr/wplr-sync/</a>) ? How could I
contribute to that ?</p>
<p>Many thanks for any tips.</p>
