Export To Local Computer¶
This tool allows you to copy files from your collections to another place on your computer. File properties can be changed if desired. It is available from the Ctrl+Alt+Shift+L menu entry or the corresponding icon from the Tools tab in the Right Sidebar.
The Export to Local Computer Dialog¶
The Target location text field sets the target path where the file will be copied. The Browse button will show a file selection dialog to navigate your computer’s folder hierarchy and select the right directory.
The Target file behavior options allow you to choose the action to perform with the selected files:
Copy files will duplicate data at the target location.
Create symlinks will add links to the original data to the target location to prevent data duplication using absolute symbolic links.
Create relative symlinks will add links to the original data to the target location to prevent data duplication using relative symbolic links.
Include the sidecars of the items will copy any existing sidecar files.
Overwrite existing items in the target will overwrite target files if they are already present.
Use the album path of the items in the target will rename target files using the original album path as a template name.
A list of files from the collections to be exported is display below. By default, the tool proposes to export the currently selected items from the icon-view. The + Photos button can be used to append more items to the list.
The Adjust image properties check-box enables a set of options to convert files to another Image format (JPEG, or PNG). The photos will be resized before copying to the target. The Image quality and Image length settings will be used to adjust the maximum height and the compression. The width calculation will be done so as to maintain the aspect ratio.
Finally, with the Remove all metadata you can remove all the Exif, IPTC, and XMP metadata from the images.
