SUMMARY

Moving grouped files to a different album changes some file extension to lowercase => tagging etc. is lost

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Group two files, e.g. DSCF6579.JPG + DSCF6579.RAF
2. Tag the group
3. Move the group by dragging it to a different album

OBSERVED RESULT
a) OK: Both files are moved on filesystem
b) BUG: Files are partially "renamed" on filesystem:
    DSCF6579.JPG (ok)
    DSCF6579.raf (bug: extension is now lowercase)
c) Renamed file recognised by digicam as new file => Tags etc. are lost
   And file is renamed/touched which is at least ugly.

EXPECTED RESULT

Do not rename files or change them to lowercase. 

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
macOS: macOS 11.5, official bundle digiKam-7.3.0-MacOS-x86-64

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Did not happen with official bundle digiKam-7.2.0-rc-MacOS-x86-64.
Stepped back to this version, because with this bug 7.3 is unusable for me.

Can you provide the debug trace from a Terminal following instructions here :

The problem is not reproducible with Linux or Windows. I am sure that nowhere in digiKam do we change the file extension to lowercase letters during this file move process.

However, there are a lot of bug reports about Drag & Drop it Qt-5.15 to MacOS. The problem should be solved with Qt-5.15.2. The problems do not exist in Qt-5.11.

I'm unable to reproduce the issue with 8.5.0 pre-release on MacOS Sonoma 14.6.1.

@Harald, are you able to reproduce the issue with the new pre-release version?
Comment 10 Maik Qualmann 2024-09-20 09:49:26 UTC
It is actually practically impossible for the file extension to change to lowercase when moving, at least at the moment I have no idea.

With tags and grouped images, it depends on the grouping settings whether metadata is only applied to the leader image or to all items in the group. So this is probably not a bug.
