Description vitria 2021-11-12 02:34:36 UTC

Hi everyone

In Digikam when we rename files with import or rename them with BQM, we can chose metadata values or incremental values and not random values. It can be limited. 
For example when i import landscapes pictures into my landscapes folder i can only use the date values as namming pattern because all others choice will result in duplicates.

It can be useful to include random namming (UUID v1/2/4 can be cool) for people who have folders of memes or theme-related photos and use Tags/metadata to find files instead of files names.


EXPECTED RESULT
Be able to rename files with random value Like UUIDv4 and/or others random value generators.


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
English isn't my first language, i'm sorry if there is faults. And it's also my first bug report here, i'm sorry if i have done mistakes.

Thx if you take this proposal into consideration.

This would be a very useful feature...

You really want a rename to a filename like this:
