            Bug ID: 363913
           Summary: Export menu is a mess (and is missing useful options)
           Product: digikam
           Version: 5.0.0
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Export
          Assignee: digikam-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: jens-bugs.kde.org at spamfreemail.de

The Export menu is a mess (IMHO). It is littered with options that are probably
only useful for a very small group of people (e.g. "Export to Debian
Screenshots", "Export to Yandex.RU") and mixes web service with local folders
and scripts (e.g. "export to HTML"). Plus, it isn't sorted (by any obvious
criteria) so you can't quickly find the options you are looking for.

Also a simple "Export to folder ..." option with resize / convert possibility
doesn't even exist. (Right?)

Suggestion: Create a hierarchy of menu options with (alphabetically sorted)
entries like

Export
  Folder...  (this export option will have to be created)
  HTML ...
  KML ...  
  EMail ...   (here I would like an option to just recompress JPEG, without
resizing to <=1600px)
  Flash ...
  Local network
    DLNA
    Remote computer ...
  Devices
    iPod
    ...
  Commercial web services
    23
    Dropbox
    Facebook
    Flickr
    Google Drive
    Google Photos / Picasaweb
    Imageshack
    imgur
    Piwigo
    Rajce.net
    Shwup
    Smugmug
    VKontakte
    Yandex.Fotki
    Zoooomr
  Other web services
    Debian Screenshots
    Gallery
    jAlbum
    MediaWiki
  Instant messaging contact  

The "Export to Folder" option does the same as the "EMail ..." option
(regarding export options) except that the images are actually kept in the
folder instead of being only copied to a temporary folder.

Also, I would like to have an "Export to WebDAV" option (for Owncloud). :-)


Reproducible: Always
