Version: 0.9.3 (using KDE 3.5.9) Installed from: Mandriva RPMs OS: Linux When downloading pictures of my camera, I used to rename then in a way I prefer: YYYY_MM_NNNN.jpg Where "NNNN" is a 4-digit sequence-number. In digikam 0.8.4 I used before, the wildcard %Y_%m_%%04d did the trick for me. => i.e. 2006_02_0001.jpg The official documentation still says: http://docs.kde.org/kde3/en/extragear-graphics/digikam/using-camera.html#using-cameraclientrenaming > If you want another date format then the default date format, you could fill in for example: > 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 man page of strftime. This is what I'm trying to do - but with digikam 0.9.3 it seems to be impossible to customize the sequence-number (I don't like a 6-digit number, as well the "-"character which is automatically added when using the sequence-number function), as the wildcards I have used before do not work any more. Is there a new trick about wildcards I'm not aware of, or is this really a new bug due to the new introduced rename-dialog?
Andi, This one still valid with 0.11.0 ? Gilles
No, with the manual rename you can add digits as you like. Either type it in directly: 2006_12_#### => 2006_12_0001 2006_12_0002 or use the date macro, which will read the Exif information: [date:yyyy_MM]_#### => 2009_05_0001 2009_05_0002 I will close this one now. Andi
