If it will work on the entire album, that's tens of thousands of<br>
photos across a tree with over one hundred nodes, then that would be<br>
fine.<br>

Where is this blue-circled "i"? I did find the Image->Rename option,<br>
but it will only work on selected photos and one cannot select all<br>
photos in the database. I did find a blue-circled "i" for<br>
Help->Components Information however this does not seem to be to what<br>
you are referring. I am on Digikam 1.7.<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>

I reproduce exactly the same issue testing digiKam 1.8.0 on a fresh<br>
computer... and i found the problem...<br>
<br>
It's alwyas marble widget which exit create an exception when world maps<br>
data are not installed on computer.<br>
<br>
Install marble with maps data and all will work fine.<br>
<br>
Not : with digiKam 2.0.0, it do not crash immediately in this case, because<br>
worldmap widget used in digiKam switch by default to googlemaps, which do<br>
not depand of marble widget. But if you switch to local map, it crash<br>
immediately.<br>

To open the rename dialog:<br>
There are three ways that I've found (possibly there are more):<br>
1.Select a few photographs, right-click, and rename is the fifth<br>
option down the list on my version of digikam (1.7 from philip5 ppa,<br>
running on ubuntu 10.10). 2. select and then hit F2 opens the dialog.<br>
3.Menu-Image-Rename.<br>
<br>
The blue circle:<br>
When the rename dialog is open, look at the blank box where you enter<br>
your renaming information. The line has an x inside a funny arrow at<br>
the end, next to a drop down arrow. Just to the right of the box is an<br>
icon that looks like a pencil (sort of - it is too small for me to<br>
really see what it is supposed to be). Clicking on the pencil (if that<br>
is what it really is) brings up several options. "Replace" is one of<br>
the options. But ignore the pencil icon for now. Look to the right of<br>
the pencil icon to see the blue circle with the "i" in it to see a<br>
list of all the renaming options, along with an explanation.<br>
<br>
To select all the items in an album:<br>
Go to the menu at the top, click on View, look to the next to the<br>
bottom option where it says "Include Album Sub-Tree" and check it.<br>
That way, the entire album is visible. Warning: at least on my<br>
computer, clicking on an album with 5000 images sends the cpu up to<br>
100% for maybe 15 seconds (my computer is over five years old).<br>
<br>
Will it work on your entire album without any problems?<br>
I am not a digikam expert. I am in the process of learning how to use<br>
digikam. I did a rename on a test album with 500 images. It went<br>
flawlessly. But I wasn't removing ":".<br>
<br>
I did a test rename on a couple of images after inserting some random<br>
":" just to make sure I gave you the right string to put in the box.<br>
It also went flawlessly.<br>
<br>
Databases scare me silly just because it is so easy to upset them. If<br>
I were you I'd copy a couple hundred sample images to a test album and<br>
test away using digikam rename (and also maybe using Krename, whatever<br>
that is, if you don't like the results with digikam rename).<br>
<br>
It seems to me that there still is one bug with the rename, and that<br>
is with the {unique} option, but that shouldn't affect removing ":"<br>
from file names.<br>
<br>
My personal experience with other DAM software (photools imatch), is<br>
that if you rename outside the DAM software, it will treat the renamed<br>
images as new images. But if Krename is a kde ap, maybe that makes a<br>
difference, at least if you use a full-blown KDE desktop.<br>
<br>
Perhaps people more experienced in Krename/Digikam combo might speak up here.<br>
<br>
Hope that helps. There are no guarantees. Wish there were. Try a test<br>
album first. Best of luck and let me know how it goes.<br>
<br>
Kind Regards,<br>

Hmm, I just did some testing, being interested in this topic myself<br>
(having around 9000 files to rename). It seems digikam really does<br>
recognize when a file has been renamed outside of digikam. But please<br>
check for yourself!<br>
<br>
Here's the results of a little mini-test, and then a question for the<br>
digikam experts:<br>
<br>
Test results:<br>
<br>
With digikam closed, I renamed a couple of image files using xfe file<br>
browser. I have "rescan every start" disabled, so when I started<br>
digikam the old file name was still in use. But upon using<br>
Menu-Tools-'Scan for New Images', both files names changed to the new<br>
file name. More importantly, for one of the images, I had previously<br>
changed the metadata (using digikam) so it no longer matched what was<br>
in the image file, and that image showed up with the correctly changed<br>
metadata. So it looks like digikam really is reassociating the newly<br>
renamed file with the original database entry? Awesome.<br>
<br>
I checked the image file metadata using exiftool - all the original<br>
file metadata is still in place, untouched (as it should be, because I<br>
have digikam set up to not write metadata to the files).<br>
<br>
Then I accidentally had two instances of digikam running, and the<br>
first instance picked up a change in tags applied using the second<br>
instance. Then when I closed the second instance (thinking I'd closed<br>
digikam completely) and renamed a file using xfe, digikam (first<br>
instance) picked up the renamed file immediately, without even any<br>
kind of refresh. Awesome.<br>
<br>
Question:<br>
Using the "SQLite database browser" to inspect the contents of a<br>
digikam sqlite database, I see there is a "uniqueHash" of each image,<br>
which looks like an MD5 hash. Does the uniqueHash enable digikam to<br>
recognize that an image has been renamed outside of digikam, and then<br>
reassociate the new name with the existing database entry? Is this<br>
safe to do?<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>
Elle Stone<br>

Hello digikam users,<br>
<br>
I don't want to use dng. But I would like a way to tag, caption, etc my raw<br>
files. I was thinking of extracting the embedded jpegs and using them as a<br>
handy "side-cars" for the raw files for tagging, rating, etc. Has anyone<br>
done so? How did it work for you? Any reasons why it is perhaps not such a<br>
good idea?<br>
<br>
If the jpeg "side-car"carries all the metadata produced by digikam, then if<br>
desired I could use exiftool to write selected jpeg metadata back to the<br>
corresponding raw file. And the jpeg offers visual confirmation that the<br>
jpeg actually belongs to its corresponding raw file.<br>
<br>
I've separated all my in-camera-produced jpegs into a separate album from my<br>
raw files. I don't shoot simultaneous raw and jpeg (slow, uses a lot of<br>
extra space on the card), so there is no problem of confusing an extracted<br>
jpeg from a simultaneously-produced jpeg.<br>
<br>
dcraw can extract the embedded jped: "dcraw -e *.cr2" (my camera is Canon<br>
400d/xti). Not all the metadata gets carried across from raw to jpeg, but<br>
enough does, I think, for my purposes.<br>
<br>
exiv2 also can extract an embedded jpeg and keeps some? all? the metadata,<br>
but I don't know how to use exiv2 - does anyone have any hints?<br>
<br>
Thanks for advice,<br>

OK. Thanks a lot for your investigation. I've found marble is included<br>
in kdeedu4 and you have worked fot it to work<br>
(<a href="https://trac.macports.org/ticket/25176" target="_blank">https://trac.macports.org/ticket/25176</a>)<br>

Just : How do you install maps data for marble ? No tips after 15'<br>
