[KPhotoAlbum] Copying image files from the thumbnail view

[Joe]

Your reply didn't make it to the list (hopefully, by accident).

Thanks for the quick, detailed reply.

It sounds like your new feature is even better than copy and paste.

I manage the photos for my partner and end up putting the selected ones
on a flash drive for her.
I have to keep them tagged because I can't remember which ones I just
gave her now, let alone later, so I can't skip that step.

I'm currently using KPA 4.4 and F7 appears to do nothing. If I can
summon the gumption, I will try an install from git and see what happens.

Thanks again,

Joe
