Description Harald 2021-08-28 07:30:27 UTC
SUMMARY

Moving grouped files to a different album changes some file extension to lowercase => tagging etc. is lost

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Group two files, e.g. DSCF6579.JPG + DSCF6579.RAF
2. Tag the group
3. Move the group by dragging it to a different album

OBSERVED RESULT
a) OK: Both files are moved on filesystem
b) BUG: Files are partially "renamed" on filesystem:
    DSCF6579.JPG (ok)
    DSCF6579.raf (bug: extension is now lowercase)
c) Renamed file recognised by digicam as new file => Tags etc. are lost
   And file is renamed/touched which is at least ugly.

EXPECTED RESULT

Do not rename files or change them to lowercase. 

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
macOS: macOS 11.5, official bundle digiKam-7.3.0-MacOS-x86-64

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Did not happen with official bundle digiKam-7.2.0-rc-MacOS-x86-64.
Stepped back to this version, because with this bug 7.3 is unusable for me.

Can you reproduce this problem with the Copy and PAste function from contect menu between albums ?

Can you provide the debug trace from a Terminal following instructions here :

The problem is not reproducible with Linux or Windows. I am sure that nowhere in digiKam do we change the file extension to lowercase letters during this file move process.

However, there are a lot of bug reports about Drag & Drop it Qt-5.15 to MacOS. The problem should be solved with Qt-5.15.2. The problems do not exist in Qt-5.11.
