I will take care of that. But I would be perfectly happy with an easy 
way out. Fead ONE batch to digikam and find next morning all variation 
to select manually from.

digikam takes list of PEF and generates

img.png
img_AL.png
img_AE.png
img_LC.png

digikam changes in the batch cue all img.PEF to img_LC.png and generates

img_LC_AL.png
img_LC_AE.png

I wake up and do the rest.

regards,
Rinus
