Exactly.
The purpose is to generate a list for llgal (a HTML gallery creating tool).
llgal makes a good job, but has no GUI for manually sorting.
Geeqie, you mentioned before, does nearly exactly what I want, but it does not
respect the locale when writing the filename collection.
It always writes UTF8.
Ok, I can convert the filenames later by (python) script using the correct
locale.
The job is now:
call "geekie ."
user creates the collection and saves it
read the collection file (*)
convert the file names according to locale
prefix filenames with number (renaming)
call "llgal ..."
(*) Problem: how do I know which filename the user has choosen for the
collection?
