[Digikam-users] Renaming with Dates

[Carl McGrath]

I am finally getting organized a bit and seeking to rename my pictures 
with their creation date. I have two questions/issues that someone may 
have figured out.
1. I have been setting my camera to local time (UTC-5/4 - USA East 
Coast). The file times on the SD card are set to that time, but when I 
use [date:ISO] or a custom date format to rename the file, it treats the 
file date as UTC and subtracts 4 or 5 hr, depending on my computer 
setting of DaylightSavings. I see nothing in the Renaming Dialog to stop 
this, or to deal with Timezone in general. Am I missing something?
1.5 In a related issue, the image metadata appears to be in 24 hour 
format, but Digikam seems to want to work in AM/PM, which is the way I 
normally set time for the desktop. Is there a way to get Digikam to use 
24 hour clock for naming, but leave the desktop set AM/PM?
2. I tried using

[meta:Exif.Image.DateTimeOriginal] as the date, but it appears to return 
a null string. The DateTimeOriginal value is set in the EXIF Metadata, I 
can see it in the side panel. Do I need to specify a format? How?

Thanks
