What I use to get additional actions for a right click is

  cd MyDesktopFiles
  # create folder if not already available:
  mkdir ~/.kde/share/applnk/.hidden
  cp *.desktop ~/.kde/share/applnk/.hidden

A desktop file may then look like (without the #)

The script may then for example look like
# --- cut here 
#! /usr/bin/env python

import os
import sys

img_name = sys.argv[1]
# Remark further selected images would be in sys.argv[2], sys.argv[3], ...

# Get the name of the folder:
img_folder = os.path.split(img_name)[0]

print "img_name=", img_name
print "img_folder=", img_folder

print "now do whatever you want with the image (or images)"
# --- cut here

So it is not too complicated, but, as mentioned in #6, 
writing something like "create_album.py %U"
is simpler than the above.

Question: is it possible to assign keyboard short-cuts 
corresponding to such .desktop files?
