[Digikam-users] workflow for deleting not wanted RAW-Files

[Micha Neubauer]

Hello Ruediger!

Wow, thaks a lot for sharing these scripts. Looks like they do what I want... have not 
tested them yet due to lack of time.
Anyway it seems like there is no "internal" fuction in DK, since nobody else replied.

Thanks a lot again
