Description Heiner Lamprecht 2006-04-23 16:30:29 UTC 
Version:           0.9.0-svn / 2006-04-22 (using KDE KDE 3.5.2)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

When renaming images, digikam can add a number to the name of the image.  However, this number increases through all images in the list.  My naming schema is slightly different:  I use the timestamp as a unique name, and only if there are more than one image with the same timestamp, they get counted.  Example:

Only one image taken in this second:
2006-04-23__14-08-14_00.jpg

When there are more images with the same second:
2006-04-23__14-10-36_00.jpg
2006-04-23__14-10-36_01.jpg

Are you talking about camera gui interface options. Please give us more detailled informations.

I was referring to the general renaming option, eg. for renaming all (selected) images in an album.  When you rename the images, you can add a sequence number to ensure all names are unique.  But this number steps through all images:

img_1234.jpg  ->  2006-05-30__16-05-21_00.jpg
img_1235.jpg  ->  2006-05-30__16-07-43_01.jpg
img_1236.jpg  ->  2006-05-30__16-07-44_02.jpg
img_1237.jpg  ->  2006-05-30__16-10-07_03.jpg
img_1238.jpg  ->  2006-05-30__16-10-07_04.jpg
img_1239.jpg  ->  2006-05-30__16-10-12_05.jpg

I use the timestamp as unique name, but need to have a sequence numbers for those images taken in the same second:

img_1234.jpg  ->  2006-05-30__16-05-21_00.jpg
img_1235.jpg  ->  2006-05-30__16-07-43_00.jpg
img_1236.jpg  ->  2006-05-30__16-07-44_00.jpg
img_1237.jpg  ->  2006-05-30__16-10-07_00.jpg
img_1238.jpg  ->  2006-05-30__16-10-07_01.jpg
img_1239.jpg  ->  2006-05-30__16-10-12_00.jpg

I hope, things are a bit more clear now :-)

BatchProcessImage is not maintained since a while and is obsolete now. It will
be removed with 5.0.0.

Use digiKam BQM instead...
