Follow-up to #623. The Lightroom TXT export now shows the filename list
in a modal with a "Copy to clipboard" button instead of triggering a
.txt file download — saves the "open file → select all → copy" dance
admins were doing anyway. CSV export takes the same path (paste straight
into Sheets / Excel).
The modal keeps a "Download as file" button so admins who want the file
(sharing with colleagues, archiving, post-processing tooling) aren't
worse off than before — fully additive.
XMP (ZIP archive) and JSON exports keep their direct download path. A
textarea preview is the wrong UI for a binary archive, and JSON is
structured tool input where the file form is the natural mode.
Implementation:
- ExportPreviewModal — readonly textarea, copy + download buttons,
monospace font for filename lists, click-to-select-all on the textarea
for browsers that block clipboard writes (older Safari, hardened
sandboxes — the catch falls through to a "select and copy manually"
toast instead of silent failure).
- photosService.exportPhotosAsText — same backend endpoint as
exportPhotos but resolves the blob.text() and returns
{ content, filename } instead of triggering a download. Preserves
the existing exportPhotos for the XMP / JSON paths.
- PhotoExportMenu — PREVIEW_FORMATS = ['txt', 'csv']; non-preview
formats keep the direct-download flow unchanged.
- EN + DE i18n entries.
No backend changes. No new endpoints. No breaking changes for callers
of photosService.exportPhotos.
