What, the fact that if you are using mac/win you can't export pictures to a folder? Yeah... its the sole reason I haven't suggested it to people who are looking for an alternative to the abandoned picassa program.

I personally love the program... but the lack of an export file for non linux systems... it's pretty sad.

Why? KIO is one the best features of KDE. It use it all the time for SFTPing in my local LAN.

That's terrible, maybe one of the other fourteen or so export options will work for you?

SFTP... how about upgrading your protocols to something more modern?

The biggest problem with Digikam is that it integrates with too many services. Especially on distros like Arch everything is turned on by default and it depends on stuff like full MariaDB, face recognition, fecesbook integration and so on. The package is huge. Digikam requires at least 600 MB of space. It's actually pretty huge.

And what's wrong with SFTP?

Works for small number of files, even large ones, but not that good for larger directories.
