           Summary: Change file name without affecting extension
           Product: digikam
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: mikmach wp pl


Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
Compiler:          gcc3.4.3 
OS:                Linux

"Name change" dialog (aka F2) shouldn't allow for changing file
extension OR when changing name extension is should automatically
(eventually with help of some auxiliary dialog) perform
transformation of image eg. from JPEG into PNG.

Dialog window should look like (ascii-art):

New name:
+-------------------+
|pa123456           |.jpg
+-------------------+

With non-editable extension.

Currently user can change extension WITHOUT actually changing type of file
which can lead to many problems in future.

Extension could be listed as combo list to change extension with changing filetype - with all consequences.
