Recently, I discovered a strange behaviour of the import tool following this scenario: preparation: set file name renaming option to something like: "Prefix-[date:"yyyyMMdd"]-[file].[ext]". Then a file name like "Prefix-20170426-DSC_1234.jpg" should result for every image. 1. insert a memory card with some new photos and some older ones 2. download only new photo files (shortcut: Ctrl-N) 3. the result: only one image file is renamed, the other ones remain unchanged. I have been doing this with older vesrions of digikam for over a year now without problems. I noticed this erroneous behaviour only recently, but it may have been present for some weeks. A workaround is to mark the new photos manually and then do "download selected". I am using digikam 5.5.0 under Manjaro linux.
