           Summary: More options for file renaming when importing images
           Product: digikam
           Version: 0.10.0
          Platform: Slackware Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: ferriste at gmail.com


Version:           0.10.0 (using KDE 4.2.3)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Slackware Packages

I would like to have some extra options to decide how automatically rename
files when they are imported from my camera.

1- My camera assigns uppercase names, and Digikam has an option to change them
to lowercase. But this feature is fully working only if imported files are
saved with the original name assigned by the camera. If a custom name is
chosen, extension is kept uppercase. Example:

IMG_001.JPG > becomes > img_001.jpg

while with custom names

IMG_001.JPG > becomes > my_name-001.JPG

Could be possible to change lowercase also the exension?

2- Digikam can add a sequence number to renamed files. I haven't found any
option to reduce the number of digits, all files have 6 digits. I don't think
will never exist somebody who will need to rename one million photos :-)! Could
be possible to add an option to let user choose the number of digits? And also
to let user choose the symbol between name and numbers (_ or blank space
instead of -). Example:

now
IMG_001.JPG > becomes > my_name-000001.jpg
requested
IMG_001.JPG > becomes > my_name-001.jpg

Thank you.
