Description DGardner 2009-12-07 21:47:00 UTC 
Version:           1.0.0-beta5 (using KDE 4.3.4)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

When I open the "Rename" dialog box to rename a file, I expect that I
will be presented with the original file name, so that I can edit it.
I'm not, so I can't.

If I want to change a character in a long file name, I have to type in
the whole name again, it seems.

The "[file]" token is all well and good, but it is pretty useless if
all I want to do is take an existing file name like "20091207-50d-1234-00.jpg"
and change the "00" at the end to "01" without typing everything in again.

Try digiKam 1.0.0 RC. Beta 5 is pretty old now and a lots of work have be done since this version.

Yes, this is definitely possible... but I thought I added this in beta5 already. Well anyway I'll close this one again, since it is fixed.
Comment 3 DGardner 2009-12-09 21:01:27 UTC 
I tried 1.0.0-rc1. The file name is now presented for editing, but
not the file extension.
Comment 4 Andi Clemens 2009-12-09 21:16:00 UTC 
Yes, like I said in the other report, it was added after rc1. The final version will have it... :-)

This is working fine for me in 1.2.0.

Thank you.
