Version: 0.7.3-beta2 (using KDE 3.4.1 Level "a" , SUSE 9.2 UNSUPPORTED) Compiler: gcc version 3.3.4 (pre 3.3.5 20040809) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.8-24.14-default When uploading images, digikam has the option "Add camera provided date and time". Would it also be possible to specify the format of this? The default appears to be "YYYYMMDD-hh:mm:ss", but I'd prefer "YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss" (which makes it easier to see the separate date parts). This option may be a little too much to add to the GUI, but perhaps add a parameter to the config file of the format: customDate=%Y-%M-%D %h:%m:5s ...or similar?
it is possible to customize the dateformat manually. try entering: photo-%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S in the prefix edit line (turn off "Add camera provided date and time"). For additional customization read the manpage of strftime

Is it possible to add a serial number to the filename? I store my photos like 2005-06-30_01.jpg where "01" is a two digit number for getting a day's photos unique. Maybe this could be done using "#" for digits like "%Y-%m-%d_##.jpg"? Likely somebody wants to chose the start number (per folder, per day, fix value)... While taking a look at other digicam import tools I saw that they can use any fields of the source file, e.g. any EXIF information. Are there any plans to get this in digiKam? This would make the best software for photo management (IMHO) even better :) /Andreas

checking the "add sequence number" doesn't work for you?
Hi, > ------- Additional Comments From renchi pooh tam uiuc edu 2005-07-11 > 11:13 ------- checking the "add sequence number" doesn't work for you? It works, but its limited: - It's always four digits long and starts with "-". - It numbers all imported photos from 0001 - ???? What I suggested is: - User selectable length. - A "make the filename unique" feature, so if I have the "%Y-%m-%d" filename template and it's likely that I have multiple photos taken a day, I want to make sure that every photo has each unique filename.
