digikam-select: Batch export from Digikam using the command line

[daniel bip]

Hi Jens,

Your script seems so interesting, some days ago I was thinking of something
similar, as I have a similar IT *infrastructure *for sharing DK's pictures
at home, so such a script would be amazing. I'll try to test it during this
week. Thank you very much for sharing!

BR,


d.
