Version: 0.9.3 (using KDE 3.5.7) Installed from: SuSE RPMs Currently digikam uses the lexical order of images to create a slide show. If you want to rearrange the order of the images, you have to manually rename selected images so that they form a new lexical sequence. The batch rename feature does not help here, as it relies on the existing sort order for the new names. Picasa - although not my prefered photo tool - partially offers this functionality. It allows the user to logically rearrange the sequence of the images in a folder via drag and drop and stores this sequence in an config file. Picasa also allows to batch rename these images. Unfortunately it only appends numbers without padding with zeros so that you do not get the expected lexical order. I created a filter script as a hack, that takes the Picasa generated XML-file and generates a shell script that renames the files lexically. The best solution would of course be if digikam would be able to rearrange the images in thumbnail view and generated a file list that may be passed to an existing batch renamer.
This sounds very related to http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=91562 Albert, could you have a look there and decide whether your wish may be considered a duplicate? Many thanks, Arnd
Hi Arnd, You are right. My idea is identical to the request in bug 91562. Sorry, that I didn't find this by myself. Albert. Arnd Baecker schrieb: [bugs.kde.org quoted mail]
Albert, no problem at all - with 400+ open wishes it is easy to overlook one of them;-). If you have any additional remarks, don't hesitate to add them (and your votes) to the other wish. Best, Arnd *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 91562 ***
