           Summary: Cannot change file extension in "Rename" dialog
           Product: digikam
           Version: 1.0.0-beta5
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: dkde at gardnersworld.org


Version:           1.0.0-beta5 (using KDE 4.3.4)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

For some reason digiKam's editor started saving JPEG files with a file
extension of ".jpeg" instead of ".jpg" (which was the extension of the
original files). It has stopped doing this now, but, as I didn't really
notice at the time, I now have lots of files with a ".jpeg" extension
that I want to change to have a ".jpg" extension like all of the others.
However, the "Rename" dialog does not allow me to change the full file
name, only the part before the extension.

I had an issue with renaming file outside of digiKam before that cost
me tens of hours of wasted time re-tagging over 2,000 images, so I
don't know if it is safe to just rename the files outside of digiKam.

Surely a "Rename" dialog should allow a file to be "Rename[d]".
