Version: (using KDE KDE 3.4.1) Installed from: Gentoo Packages OS: Linux It would be nice to have an option to lowercase the filenames that downloaded from the camera. I'm using flphoto for downloading the pictures from my camera for this reason, and then rotate/edit them in Digikam, which is a shame. I want to use only the best :)
Created attachment 11742 [details] proposed patch Because you are so friendly ;-) This patch makes it possible to indicate if you want upper or lower case file names. The setting is located in the screen where you see all the images from the camera and then choose for the extended settings button.
Wow, thank you for this quick reaction! Tried to apply the patch onto 0.7.3, but its rejected at cameraiconview.cpp, dont know why, it's all chinese for me. Then i got the svn version (i'm on gentoo, and there is a digikam svn ebuild available). Patch applied cleanly and digikam (and digikamimageplugins) compiled. But when i started digikam, it crashed. I had to move away my pictures directory to get digikam start up properly. Dont know why, but its the nature of svn maybe. But i got the camera dialog, then the advanced options, but there is nowhere an upper-lower case option in it. What i was doing wrong?
I think this is an installation error. Have you removed the old gentoo installation before installing the svn one? Did you use the right prefix for Gentoo in the configure command?
Now uninstalled the 0.7.3 first, then compiled/installed svn, but the problem remains, it doesnt like jpeg pictures, which is quite a problem for this kind of application :) If I move away my pictures dir, and create a new one then digikam starts, but when i want to import a folder with pics, a req says: "the process of digikamalbums:// protocol died unexpectedly" for every picture. But this is an entirely different problem, and the original wish is resolved, because now there is a selector for lower/upper case. Thank you again! ... Well, now how can i do that if I want the camera provided names, only in lowercase? :) So the original filename like IMG_8765.JPG is fine for me, only the uppercase is the problem. I would like to leave the camera provided names as is, they are unique for every picture i take, until I reset the counter in the camera which is unlikely.
I think you better wait for 0.8 to be released and when gentoo provides a package for that. For now you better stick to flphoto for downloading your photo's in lowercase filenames.
OK. Thanks for your time.
