Bug 88784

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.2.3)
Installed from:    Mandrake RPMs
OS:                Linux

Would it be possible to add a plug-in script option to the Camera image downloading function (or as an optional replacement)?

What I have in mind is this: my camera (a Fuji) titles pictures as 'DSFC0xxx.jpg' on the card, with xxx incrementing through the pictures.  This isn't all that good when storing a lot of them on a PC!

Fuji's own Windows software creates a new directory called 'YYYY_MMDD' (as in the date of the download) , and naming each file 'YYYY_MMDD_HHMMSSaa', where the date/time details come from the creation time of the picture - 'aa' becomes 'ab' and so on if more than one 
picture is taken in  the same second.  Thus a picture taken on 12 August at 15:30:44 and downloaded on return home on 15 August would be found in 2004_0815/2004_0815_153044aa .  Not a pretty naming convention, but functional!

I'd like to have Digikam do the same - but it's easy to write a Perl script to 
do it, and it occurred to me that if Digikam could call a download script, 
rather than hardcoding a naming convention, then users could define their own 
naming conventions and perhaps upload suitable scripts to a repository 
somewhere to save people reinventing wheels.   This would only apply to USB 
MSS cameras, of course, and would be in addition to the existing 
functionality.
