Description Syiad 2015-10-06 12:50:23 UTC

Renaming files during import from my D750 works for both, raw and jpeg files. Also autocreation of albums based on file extension works OK.
However, when I want to use the template '[date]_something_[file]' to rename the files during import, it only works as advertised for the jpegs. All the renamed raw files then start with '19700101T000000_' instead of the date and time when the picture was taken.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Connect camera to computer via USB
2. Select 'Import' from digikam menu
3. Set option to rename files during import, using template '[date]_something_[file]'.
(4. Set option to autocreate albums based on file extensions) - this does not make a difference for the bug
5. Start the import

Actual Results:  
Albums are created, images imported and renamed:
   - jpegs are renamed OK as per template
   - raw files are renamed to '19700101T000000_something_DSC_xxx.nef'

Expected Results:  
Albums are created, images imported and renamed:
   - jpegs are renamed OK as per template
   - raw files are renamed OK as per template

I have already submitted a raw file from the D750 to rawsamples.ch, to help with the file format. However, it has not yet been put on the web site.

I'm sure that you use the Gphoto2 driver to handle Nikon device contents. I think it's not a problem with NEF format. The date is provided by Gphoto driver.

What happen if you upload RAW files in UMS mode ?

What does UMS mode mean? Is that to insert the SD cards directly into the computer's card reader and then import the files from there?
I haven't tried that yet, because it's more convenient to connect the camera via the USB cable. But I will give it a try and report back.

Comment 3 caulier.gilles 2015-10-06 13:49:32 UTC

yes, exactly...

Comment 4 Syiad 2015-10-06 14:59:10 UTC

When importing from the SD card directly, it works as advertised.

So it appears to be, as you said, a problem with Gphoto2. Their web site lists the D750 as supported, but maybe not properly by the version (2.5.4) that I have installed with Kubuntu 15.04. Version 2.5.8 is said to be the most recent and a history file that I found states that D750 support has been introduced with version 2.5.7.

I'll see if I can install version 2.5.8 or just wait for Kubuntu 15.10 to come out in about two weeks time.

Comment 5 Maik Qualmann 2015-10-06 16:23:56 UTC

The fallback to the file date by RAW and Ghoto2 driver is fixed in digiKam-4.14.0.

Following last comment from Maik, I close this file. 4.14.0 will be released next week end. Feel free to re-open if necessary after a test with this version.

I confirm that the issue is fixed in 4.14.
Thanks, well done!
