Description phenrypereira 2024-05-22 22:17:22 UTC 
SUMMARY
When using the advanced rename tool to rename files based on image metadata, information is not returned for file name.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have an album open
2. Right-click on any image, choose the 'Rename' option,
3. In the new window, click on the 'Metadata' option.
4. Check the box for some ExifTool and click 'OK'
5. In the main advanced rename window, click 'OK' to confirm the action.

OBSERVED RESULT
When confirming the choice of which metadata will be inserted when renaming files, nothing is returned, leaving only a separation pattern (if any) and other renaming patterns (all others work normally) followed by the file extension.

EXPECTED RESULT
As with other available renaming patterns (such as number, date, camera, etc.) it immediately returns the new file name if the operation is confirmed.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: 6.0
KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.2.0
Qt Version: 6.7

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
1. I did the same test on version 8.3 packaged in Flatpak and AppImage. The result was the same
2. Not all metadata in the ExifTool section has the problem of not returning information for the file name. Metadata from other sessions are also mostly not returning anything.
3. All tests carried out were on images from a Sony SLT-A57 camera
4. The test was done on JPEG and RAW images
5. Before looking to rename the file with any metadata, check its existence in the Metadata panel
