Version: 1.0.0-beta5 (using KDE 4.3.4) OS: Linux Installed from: Ubuntu Packages For some reason digiKam's editor started saving JPEG files with a file extension of ".jpeg" instead of ".jpg" (which was the extension of the original files). It has stopped doing this now, but, as I didn't really notice at the time, I now have lots of files with a ".jpeg" extension that I want to change to have a ".jpg" extension like all of the others. However, the "Rename" dialog does not allow me to change the full file name, only the part before the extension. I had an issue with renaming file outside of digiKam before that cost me tens of hours of wasted time re-tagging over 2,000 images, so I don't know if it is safe to just rename the files outside of digiKam. Surely a "Rename" dialog should allow a file to be "Rename[d]".
try digiKam 1.0.0 RC Gilles Caulier
It is possible if current versions...
OK, 1.0.0-rc1 has just appeared in Ubuntu's "karmic-backports" repo, so I'll give that a go and confirm if it's fixed (for me). Thanks.
rc1 doesn't have it I guess :D Somehow this commit was lost and I re-applied it after rc1. But the final (coming in 2 weeks?) will have it.
Yes Andi, Dead Line is 21 december 2009... Gilles Caulier
Yeah, I checked rc1 and I cannot edit the extension in a non-tortuous way. If I want to change "X.jpeg" to "X.jpg", instead of just deleting the "e", I have to do something like this: X.[ext]{r:"e",""} Or other combinations of modifiers on the extension.
