I personally would use exiftool to organize photos into directories.
Digikam should find out them during the startup album scan.

Perhaps iot is possible to do the rename with digikam batch rename
tool also, but I do not have experience with it.

AFAIK the nondestructive edit (or photo versioning) is only in 2.0
beta. But did You have some problems with this "save a copy & edit"
approach? (Or why it is a question?)
