Freeze related to export to remote storage

[Simon Frei]

Ok, so if I understand you correctly this tool is just kept for legacy
reasons but might even be completely removed in the future?
Is there a way to copy files from digikam to some path that is not part
of any collection? For me this is an important feature (e.g. to copy a
specific selection of pictures using tags/filters to a usb stick for
presentation on a different computer).
