Description vilkmail 2018-06-23 13:31:09 UTC 
I tried renaming an image to include the tags. One of the tags has a : in it, which I don't think is a viable character for a filename.

The process still ran (no warning), but it ends up creating a 0 byte file named with everything up until the : character, with no file extension. This completely deletes the original image.

1. Create a file "test.jpg" with "Location: Paris" as a tag.
2. Rename the file using "[file] - [meta:Xmp.digiKam.TagsList]"
3. Notice the file becomes "test - Location" with no file extension
4. File is now 0 bytes and the original image is completely lost.

This may have just been fixed in 5.9.0
