[digiKam-users] Simple use case, I'm obviously missing something

[digikam-users.johnny1000 at spamgourmet.com]

Hi Jonathan,

it could be done like this:

Make a temporary tag.
Apply the tag to the images that should be copied.
Filter by the tag, so only the images with the tag are shown.
Select all filtered images.
Right click and choose "Copy to..."
:: After the images have been copied:
Select all filtered images.
Remove the tag from the images.
Delete the tag.

Best regards :o)
