Description Peter 2017-06-22 02:39:33 UTC

Selecting multiple images and doing an "open with" only passes the first image to the external program.

I would expect it to either do all images as arguments for one run or one execution for each image.

This can be tested easily enough by making a shell script like these:

#!/bin/bash
zenity --info --text="$*"

or

#!/bin/bash
echo "$*" > /tmp/results.txt

Comment 1 Maik Qualmann 2017-06-22 03:43:17 UTC

Problem is not reproducible here. When I select multiple images and use open with Gwenview, for example, the selected images are opened. It depends on the command line parameter %f and %u for single file or %F and %U for multiple files. If no command line parameter specified, the open function in digiKam uses single file. This behavior would be changeable.

You are correct, I wasn't using %F.  When no parameter worked I assumed that was the way to do it.

However, when using %F I would expect one execution with all images and with %f I would expect multiple executions with one image each.
