[digiKam-users] Run one script for the whole selection

[woenx]

Hello,

I made a simple bash script to update missing metadata on some images. I run
this script using "Right click, Open with...", and the script is invoked
inside a terminal.

However, when selecting several images, several scripts are executed at the
same time. This is a problem with tens or hundreds of pictures are selected.
Is there any way to run a script to process a selection in a sequential
manner (passing the picture path as arguments)?

I usually "open with" and then type a command manually.

For KDE it is "konsole -e /path/to/script.sh %U --noclose" 

%U is your variable
