I wasn't familiar with Dolphin, but because it has a command line interface, it does seem to be working better. It appears that when multiple files are selected, it calls the "Open With" script multiple times, rather than passing all of them on the command line. I can see use cases for both situations. Really I'm trying to use the script as a plugin or queue manager. But going down this path is helping enormously, thanks for the suggestion.</div><div><br></div>@Remco: Agreed. All of this is because oAuth isn't working for me (digiKam 5.8.0, Ubuntu 17.10).

</span>You can already do that in digikam for operations within the managed<br>
collections. This has the advantage that digikam can keep its database up to<br>
date with a minimum of operations.<br>
<br>
If you do such operations through a file manager, digikam has to watch changes<br>
in the filesystems it uses and adjust its database accordingly. For moving a<br>
file through an external file manager, that means a full 'delete', and a full<br>
'add' for each move. More complicated, and more risk of database corruption.<br>
<br>
Also, if you use sidecars, when doing file operations through the file manager,<br>
*you* take responsability for handling the sidecars correctly. When moving<br>
files around within digikam, handling sidecars is (or at least should be) the<br>
responsability of digikam.<br>
