[Digikam-users] digiKam 3.5.0 import/rename not working as expected

[Andreas Mair]

Hi,

recently digiKam 3.5.0 has been marked stable in Gentoo so I updated
from digiKam 3.2.0.
But after that importing photos didn't work any longer as expected.
All images are named "-1.jpg", "-2.jpg", "-3.jpg"... AVIs haven't been
imported at all.

Playing a little bit around I've some workarounds:
- Importing AVIs works if I disable the date base folder creating
option, but filenames are "-1.avi", "-2.avi"...
- Filenames are OK if I change the rename mask from
"[meta:Exif.Image.DateTimeOriginal:yyyy-MM-dd_HHmmss]" to
"[date:yyyy-MM-dd_HHmmss]"

Both is not what I want to change. I always want to use the date when
the photo has been taken. By using [date] I'm not sure if it's the
creation date or the last modification date. But I have the strong
feeling it's the later one, so I try to avoid using it.

While looking at the rename mask I saw that there must have been a
change from [meta:Exif.Image.DateTimeOriginal] to
[meta:Exif.Photo.DateTimeOriginal]. If that's true I'd expected
digiKam to automagically change my rename mask. But both ways the
modifier "yyyy-MM-dd_HHmmss" doesn't work. Bug? Or do I use it the
wrong way?

Best regards,
Andreas
