Nope, and given KPA "sorts" you images with categories, I dont think it makes 
that much sense in general. Can you outline a usecase for why you would want 
this feature?

| of the images).
Hmm that would be a bug then, please report at bugzilla.

| editing and copy/move them to a separate directory for processing with
| another program). The only way to do this that I have found is to
| "export to remote computer" (and then enter a local destination), delete
| the files in KPA, and then rescan the collection. This is rather
| complicated for such a simple step. Or did I miss something?
Well there is a "secret" trick. You can drag your selection to a konsole, and 
it will dump all the file names then. You can then prefix that with "mv" and 
postfix it with the directory you want to move them to.
