Hiho,

Picasa use the IPTC-Field as filename. So it would be nice, if there would be an option to export the filename to IPTC. With exiftool you can do that with the command

  exiftool "-iptc:caption-abstract<filename" *

in the correct directory. What do you mean?

Victor,

XMP sidecar can be used for that...

There is no entry available in IPTC to record original filename. Using IPTC caption is out of scope here because we record already the digiKam image comment into this tag. Managing this tags to record filename OR comments will make a big puzzle.

Exif provide a tag dedicated to record filename information :

And digiKam already manage this tag for this goal in all situations (image editor, import tool, batch processing).

For me Picasa make a mess with IPTC caption and filename. We won't to reproduce this stuff in digiKam.
