Description kdeb 2020-11-26 00:57:41 UTC 
SUMMARY

Rename from context menu of image. 
If you only change case of part of the name you get an error dialog with 
options to 'Rename again' 'Overwrite' 'Cancel'

'Rename again' will fail again.
'Overwrite' will fail and the image WILL BE DELETED (and not to the recycle bin).

Later... looks like a temp renamed version of the deleted file goes into .dtrash so perhaps not completely lost.
Comment 2 Maik Qualmann 2020-11-26 06:43:43 UTC 
Right, the file will definitely be moved to the digiKam recycle bin. With the Qt API we can hardly tell whether it is an "image.jpg" or an "Image.jpg". Both queries return a yes in a Windows file system, because both files are identical. Let's see, only changing in upper and lower case will be difficult to fix.
