A tool to "normalize" image group leadership, ratings, and tags. BETA RELEASE!!

[George Koulomzin]

I have written a tool called |/groupNormalizer.jar /|to clean up my 
Digikam groups.

I am releasing it to one and and all (under the MIT license) on 
/https://github.com/gkoulomz/DigikamTools./

Here is an excerpt from the README.md:

    A tool for normalizing image groups in the Digikam (digkikam4.db)
    database.


        Description

    |/groupNormalizer.jar/| a executable for normalizing digikam image
    groups. Digikam *groups* are sets of closely related images (e.g.
    raw, tiff, jpg) grouped together as a single item for the purpose of
    tagging, rating, etc.

    The *leader* of a group is the representative image which is shown
    by Digikam when the rest of the group's members are "hidden". While
    the group is hidden in this manner, any ratings or tags applied to
    the leader are propagated to all the members. However, it is
    possible to change the ratings or tags individually, leading to
    inconsistencies within the group.

    To address such inconsistencies, |/groupNormalizer.jar/| can change
    the leadership of groups and/or make the ratings and tags of all
    group members be the same.


        Features:

      * *Modify Group Leader:*
          o By *extension precedence*: defined by a list of extensions
            provided on the command line.
          o By *file size*: smallest or largest member.
          o By *age*: oldest or newest member.
      * *Unify Tags:*
          o Same as the leader's tags.
          o Union of all members' tags.
          o Intersection of all members' tags.
      * *Unify Ratings:*
          o Same as the leader's rating.
          o Lowest rating found in the group.
          o Highest rating found in the group.
      * *Scope Filtering:*
          o Limit by *group size* range.
          o Limit by *album subtree*.
