Kent,

Shotwell allows you to launch an external editor on only one photo at once. Conceivably that could change, but the external editor feature wasn't really designed for your use case, i.e. launching external command-line tools. I think that's sufficiently different that it might be worth implementing as a separate feature. I've opened a ticket here:

-------------------------------------------

I'd like shotwell to make a shell call to mycode.py,
passing the selected photos.

I expect this is not feasible.

Maybe consider it a duplicate of the wish list item to copy selected image
file names to the clipboard. That would provide a (somewhat clunky) way
to leverage Shotwell as a gui for image processing code.

I see Shotwell will only offer "External Editor" when a single image
is selected.
Could multiple images be sent to an external editor?

Thanks,
Kent
