Hi David, digiKam cannot do this (yet) using Queue batch manager,
but I think it will be possible via scripting ExifTool or Exiv2
(note that Exiv2 cannot write some RAW files, for example Canon CR2).

But, why you want to /move/ this information? These geolocation
names fields are designed to keep such information. Or did you mean
/copy/ those information to comment? Cheers,
