I want to use the creation date/time as a unique filename (under the assumption, that I use _one_ camera) When selecting a file for BQM, I find some options referrimng to time, date etc. which I'd like to use for this purpose. BQM offers a selection box to define batches, and especially modify file names. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. When selection Metadata > DateTimeOriginal, I expect that digiKam (DK) transfer this metadata into the filname. 2. Starting BQM produces an empty placeholder- the desired filename would _not_ be modified as desired. 3. Expected Results: I like to extract the creation date + time (YYMMDD_HHMMSS) to use this as a file name DSC_1234.jpg (or *.NEF) >> 120403_090523.jpg (or *.NEF) Important issue for large pic collection (screenshots follow)

This feature used advanced renamed tool (implementation is shared). It's reproducible used rename tool available in icon-view ? Try also in Import Tool with your camera, this option is also available. It's reproducible ? Gilles Caulier
Thank for information concerning the mentioned tool. > It's reproducible used rename tool available in icon-view ? Don't understand this sentence completely: 1.) My observation is reproducible- I tried several times. 2.) Why should BQM relate to "icon-view"? >> Can you detail, please? I never used import tool, as it is the same effort to load pics from SD-cards as using an micro-usb-cable for pic imports. Besides: why should I check for import tools, when I have issues within renaming in BQM? For safety reasons, I always work step-by-step: - import, - adding tags, - selecting pics for BQM, - doing some sequential work therein. What can I help?

Andi, Can you reproduce the problem with advanced rename feature in BQM ? Gilles Caulier
Yes, but this is no AdvancedRename or BQM bug, this Exif Information doesn't seem to exist in the file. Most of my images don't have this metadata set...
Have you tried the "Date & Time" options? They should give you the creation time...
Axel, Following comment #8 and #9 from Andi, this is not a digiKam issue. Your files do not include meta information relevant of date to complete renaming. If you use way from #9, this must fix your problem. I just tried it on my computer. Gilles Caulier
If this value should be set per default, it could be an exiv2 issue...
These EXIF values work with most of my images: [meta:Exif.Image.DateTime] [meta:Exif.Photo.DateTimeDigitized] [meta:Exif.Photo.DateTimeOriginal]
Current status as per MWG: * Original Date/Time – Creation date of the intellectual content (e.g. the photograph), rather than the creation date of the content being shown Exif DateTimeOriginal (36867, 0x9003) and SubSecTimeOriginal (37521, 0x9291) IPTC DateCreated (IIM 2:55, 0x0237) and TimeCreated (IIM 2:60, 0x023C) XMP (photoshop:DateCreated) (+ an XMP Exif key) * Digitized Date/Time – Creation date of the digital representation Exif DateTimeDigitized (36868, 0x9004) and SubSecTimeDigitized (37522, 0x9292) IPTC DigitalCreationDate (IIM 2:62, 0x023E) and DigitalCreationTime (IIM 2:63, 0x023F) XMP (xmp:CreateDate) (+ an XMP Exif key) * Modification Date/Time – Modification date of the digital image file Exif DateTime (306, 0x132) and SubSecTime (37520, 0x9290) XMP (xmp:ModifyDate) We are missing libkexiv2 methods cleanly separating these 3 different fields, but most of this is supported for reading and writing.
It could be read by the rename tokens I mentioned above, though...
Not reproducible with 6.0.0, using stand alone Time Adjust tool restored by Maik for next 6.0.0-beta2 release. Gilles Caulier
