When I set my system for UTC Hardware clock as YaST time settings suggest (See YaST screenshot), digiKam at importing process rename my pictures & videos with a time difference about my real time zone (See the digikam importing screenshot). The photograph properties show a real creation date from my camera, but digiKam show and rename my pictures in this case with the UTC time zone. The problem only solves temporarily, when I uncheck the UTC hardware clock option in YaST. But I like mantain enabled this option and without this bug at impoort and renaming in digiKam. Thanks in advance, for solve this problem. Reproducible: Always
Correction: The time difference is, My Time Zone (UTC -05:00) minus 5 hours.
I seem to have a similar problem DK5.1 on Mint 18 My rename command is PIC[date]{unique} When I import from my camera (Canon EOS550D) DigiKam adds 1 hour to create the file name. If I then select the group of pictures and select Rename it renames them correctly. As a test - Just took a picture of my computer clock showing 21:15:42 The import has renamed it PIC20160826T221542.JPG which is out by 1 hour (and a second, but I can live with that) Looking at metadata I see EXIF Image Info - Date and Time 2016:08:26 21:15:41 Photo Info - Date and Time (digitized) 2016:08:26 21:15:41 (original) 2016:08:26 21:15:41 XMP Create Date 2016-08-26T21:15:41 So everything says 21:15:41, but it renames to 22:15:42 Please let me know if you need more info.
DigiKam Import defaults uses the file creation date. For a exact date enable in camera setup the option: Use file metadata (makes connection slower). Maik
Created attachment 100866 [details] Terminal Output DK5 rename on import not working
Yes the time seems to be a camera issue. However in testing I now see that rename on import is not working in DK5. I tried in DK4 and that seems fine. I started DK5 in a terminal and have uploaded the output. Pleas let me know if I can provide any other info. Thanks Mick
Renaming in Import works here. Your rename command is PIC[date]{unique}? What see you in the icon view as preview file name? Maik
For the picture highlighted I see the updated name as expected, but for all the others I see the original IMG_1234 name. Just tested again, took two pics which gives me 4 to import, 2 JPG and 2 CR2. I highlighted one which then showed the new name, imported and that picture was renamed correctly, the other 3 were not renamed. Repeated it again, this time I highlighted all the pictures in the import screen and they were all renamed. At least that gives me a workaround for the problem.
This is the normal behavior. Only the selected or if no item is selected, the renamed file name is displayed. Otherwise the preview with numbered items would not be correct for selected. Maik
Following previous comments, I considerate this file are solved now. Don't hesitate to re-open if necessary. Gilles Caulier
