Description Rüdiger Härtel 2013-06-02 19:12:09 UTC 
Using the batch queue manager for renaming files does create new copies of the selected files instead of truly rename the files.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select an image for batch processing
2. specify rename options, I use mumble_[date:"yyyyMMdd_hhmm"],
    (just renaming is not possible, you need to select a tool, too. I use rotate according to exif)
3. Press process/run.

Actual Results:  
Look into your album. You will have the image with the original name AND with the new name.

Expected Results:  
Only the file with the new name should be there

Comment 3 Rüdiger Härtel 2016-07-04 18:13:51 UTC 
Tested with 4.12.0 and the behaviour is the same as reported.

But maybe I misunderstood the batch queue manager (bqm). The bqm can not be used solely for renaming without any assigned tool that manipulates the image. In that way the queue settings for renaming files maybe isn't meant to be used as a tool for renaming.

So if the image is always manipulated then it is good that the original image stays where it is.

I wouldn't mind if this file is set to resolved.

Maik,

What's about this file ? For me BQM must process files to create new ones. The original must still untouched. Fine for you ?

We can close this bug. BQM is not for the simple renaming of images. On the other hand, it is also possible to overwrite the original image so that no copy is made.
