Using Digikam as a 3D asset manager need help!

Hi,

After some trials I came up with the following solution which works at least on 
Linux with KDE (and Dolphin). Copy the attached desktop file into
"/home/<your username>/.local/share/applications/". Now you can right click on 
your selected images in digiKam and chose "Open With" -> "Select in Dolphin" 
which should open up dolphin with the images selected. (You may need to change 
the "MimeType=..." line to add the file types you are using.)

If you right click on an image in the search results and choose "Go To" -> "Album" 
Digikam will show the album (folder) the image is in and (at least sometimes) also 
selects the right image.
Alternatively, you can see the path in the Properties panel on the right.
Finally, you could open the file manager the same way as I described above.

I hope this helps.

Best,
Tobias
