Is the plugin "User Shell Script" working ?

[Maik Qualmann]

The following example works:

echo "INPUT FILE: [ $INPUT ]"
echo "OUTPUT FILE: [ $OUTPUT ] "

To clarify again, the script that you write will not be executed, digiKam will 
create a new temporary script where the placeholders are inserted accordingly.

Here is another example using ExifTool to delete all metadata in an image:

cp $INPUT $OUTPUT
exiftool -all= -overwrite_original $OUTPUT
