I think digikam should have an option when downloading images from the camera to rename the files.

In gthumb this can be done by checking a box not to keep original file name. This results in files having similar names and a "*.jpg" name.

My camera, the Kodak M1033 saves images as *.JPG which is very inconvienient as when i go to upload them firefox usually does not show them in the upload box due to Linux case sensitivity.

Now if this was only 1 or 2 images, manually renaming would not be an issue, but when i am dealing with 200+ pictures, it becomes a large problem. I figured out i could use "rename 's/.JPG/.jpg' *" in the command line, but i think that it is inconvenient.

I like digikam, and don't want to be forced to use gthumb. 

I think that the option to rename the files on download is definitely neccesary
