Bug 138575

Version:           0.9rc1 (using KDE KDE 3.5.5)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
OS:                Linux

In the use case of digikam that I can find here at home (my parents using it for their photo management on an merely amateurish level), the six digest suffix when using custom renaming in Camera UI (by providing a certain prefix) is much to long. I's say in most cases an album does have less then 100 photos in it - so *-001.jpg would be much better then *-000001.jpg. The longer file names have the disadvantage that often the last digest are truncated in certain views so that the file names are hard to destinguish (inside and outside digikam).

Possible solutions:

a) shorten the digest prefix to e.g. 3 digest (hardcoded)
b) add a field to let the user choose the desired digest length (with resonable default)
c) do some magic, so that the digest lenght is calculated from the number of selected photos in the Camera UI: e.g. 3 photos selected -> one digest (-1.jpg, -2.jpg, ...); 34 photos selected -> two digest (-01.jpg, ..., -34.jpg). Here one might give one "extra" digest by default in case the user wants to add more photos later (in the later example: -034.jpg instead of -34.jpg).

Don't know which solution is the best - if any ...
