Description f14fjne02 2008-06-27 21:12:25 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 3.5.9)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
OS:                Linux

Usecase:
I want to import from the camera. 
The files on the cam are in uppercase.
I select to create filenames, e.g. by date.

Result:
The resulting filename prefix is in lowercase, while the extension in _uppercase_: pic2008***.JPG
On Windows this may not be a problem, but a mixture of upper/lowercase is relevant in the unix-world (some files xy.jpg, some abc.JPG).
So it would be nice to have a checkbox to select "all uppercase / all lowercase" for created filenames, as it is already offered in the import when the original filenames are used. Or just convert all to lowercase.

Strange: If I choose to import into file-extension dependent directories, the dir-name is in lowercase. 
If you choose to accept this wish, you may want to align this together.
Thanks

Closing some old bugreports that are related to old digiKam version, and that have not received answers for two years now.

If you think the reports are still valid, feel free to re-open them, but please provide updates and do not just open them without giving feedback.

I do not know if this is ralated.
In previous version (do not know which one) the file renaming options  ignores '{lower}' modifier for '[ext]' tag (it is shown in red highlight) and copied file has uppercase extension.
Version of digikam is 7.6.0 on Manjaro linux

I am sorry, I meant to write that it was working in previous version and now it is broken in 7.6.0

The previous version was from somewhere around the end of year 2021

Tested here with the pre-release of digiKam-7.7.0 on Windows, works without problems converting an extension using .[ext]{lower} or .[ext]{upper}.
