Hi,

my problem is, that I have a lot of scanned images and most of them need
cropping in order to save space on the page (some of them are printed later). I
use digikam to manage my images and I love the batch processor, but it doesent
support batch cropping. It would be very helpful to make it an easy process.
Juts like in gwenview (select the area with a rectangle) but this time in
digikam.

I'm not a programmer (if I were, I'd produced a patch already ;) ) but maybe
its possible to borrow some code from gwenview to do it faster and with more
code reuse? Maybe go further: give the user a way to check if the selected area
is ok for all of the images before doing any changes?

It would be a life saver for all hard working students collecting scanned
documents for their papers :)

Thanks in advance!

Reproducible: Didn't try
