Description MaxiPunkt 2008-07-12 19:38:26 UTC

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 ?

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.
