SUMMARY *** NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols. See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports *** STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open Queue Manager 2. Renaming the file (File Renaming in the Queue Settings) 3. Disable "Save image as a newly created branch" under Behaviour 4. Add other Tool to Assigned Tools and press Run OBSERVED RESULT After you run the Workflow, a copy of the original photo is created and the original file, with the old file name is still present in the album. EXPECTED RESULT The original file get's renamed and no copy is created SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: 10 22h2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Maybe I'm also not doing it the intended way.
The BQM is not intended for simple renaming. The renaming function is used to give images a new name after editing. There is also an option here to overwrite the file. Use the key "F2" or the right context menu in the thumbnail view to rename files. This renaming tool also provides a display of the filename before the renaming is performed. https://docs.digikam.org/en/main_window/image_view.html#renaming-a-photograph Maik
In the BQM, the original file is retained when renaming. This is currently the intended behavior. I think we already had a bug request for this. Maik
