Version: 0.7.3 (using KDE KDE 3.4.1) Installed from: Gentoo Packages OS: Linux Batch renaming removes tags and comments. This is very unfortunate since it renders batch renaming useless in case the pictures have already been tagged and commented. I hope this can be fixed in time for 0.8. Apart from this (and other minor annoyances) digikam is simply great and is quickly becoming one of the best KDE apps. Congratulations!

I hope this can be fixed in time for 0.8. Oops, I've just noticed that batch renaming is actually a kipi plugin. I don't know how integrated digikam and kipi-plugins are, but my point is that under no circumstances tags and comments should be discarded without an explicit warning. If this issue cannot be easily fixed due to the independence of digikam and kipi-plugins, then at least a big fat warning should be displayed. Thanks, Gilles
Yes, I just lost 50+ tags because of this bug :/

Tested: Works. Thank you! Furthermore, the new rename dialog is *much* better, I esp. like that the finished items are now green.
Reopen for 0.9-svn: The current SVN version loses tag and comment info when the batch rename function is used.
