SUMMARY After importing images from an SD card of my Panasonic Lumix camera from Digikam, Digikam does not show the imported files in the destination folder. However, if I go into the destination folder with the file manager, the JPG files appear with different names from the camera originals. All images have been renamed. The names of the original images are preceded with the text "Camera-asINHu-f4689986.digikamtempfile.P1013811_v1.JPG" (in this case, the original image name was "P1013811.JPG". This happens every time I import from the card. Some time ago this didn't happen, everything worked fine. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Insert SD card in my SD card reader 2. Launch Digikam and click on "Import, USB Stick Lumix" button in toolbar 3. Select 1 or more photos 4. Click "Download selection" button in toolbar 5. After Digikam finish, destination folder is showed, but images doesn't appear (no thumbnails at all) OBSERVED RESULT The imported images are in destination folder, but names are all changed. EXPECTED RESULT To show thumbnails of imported images with their original names.

A test here with digiKam-8.2.0/8.3.0 shows no problems when importing via SD card reader. A test with auto creation of date and/or extension based folders also works. What are your exact settings in the import tool? Especially the renaming settings. A debug log from the terminal from an import would also help. Maik
Another note: The fact that the files do not appear in digiKam is not a bug; the addition of the extension ".digikamtempfile" means they are ignored by the item scanner. This is to ensure that files in the process of being created are not captured by the scanner and scan invalid metadata. So something went wrong with the renaming. Therefore I need your rename string. However, there were already bug fixes compared to digiKam-8.1.0, so it is also possible that the problem has already been resolved. Maik

Those names I pasted was created by Digikam. I can access, copy and view same images from that SD with Dolphin and Gwenview. I didn't change anything in import tool and not used any renaming tool neither.
I mean "rename string"

I imagine it was some specific bug related to some kind of card readers, cause I didn't have that issue previously some months ago. SD card remain same, but I think last time without issues I imported directly from camera (I'm not sure). I'll test with your AppImage when ready. Thank you for your quick fix!!! Have a Merry Christmas
You set a custom rename in the import settings, which fails. I was able to reproduce this particular case here. Because their temporary files had the _v1 extension, it became clear to me where the problem was occurring. Maik
Really I don't remember to change that, so I'll check tonight in "Configuration, Camera" section, where I presume could be changed.
Rafael, I will rebuild the AppImage this morning. Gilles
Not in the camera settings, directly in the settings of the Import Tool window in the renaming section. The problem also occurred if you only activated the checkbox for custom renaming and left the renaming string empty. Maik
I confirm that I selected "Personalized" but didn't put any parameter. Thank you for you quick fix!!!
