[digiKam-users] Is there a way to run an external program/script on selected images?

This doesn't work as expected.  What happens (on my xubuntu 18.04
system running Digikam 5.9) is that the script is called once for each
selected image with the parameter being the file name.  I.e. I don't
get the script called with "a list of the filenames of selected
pictures".

Is this a bug or as designed?
