Source code modification

Re: Export tools (web services and not only)

I would consider dropping these options at all if there are more important
things to do and the resources are very limited.
It might sound crazy but all these are available via drag and drop to
browser nowadays.
I do upload pictures to Flickr and Google Photos as well as attach them to
emails in gmail (web) and Outlook (app on my windows machine).
I have done this using digikam plugins and I have done it this via dragging
pictures from digikam to firefox.
It is nice to have export options in digiKam but the plugins usually
introduce bugs, for example email export not working on many linux distros,
can't create a new album in Google Photos etc. etc.
If you going to rewrite the plugins that is a lot of code to write and
maintain after (flickr and google change APIs all the time)
Just an idea.



Best regards,
