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

[Carl McGrath]

I run DK 3.5.0 on openSUSE

I use the import rename mask

    [date:"yyyy-MM-ddThhtmmtss"]{unique}


which uses (I believe) the Creation date and time.


Problem I have is that all names have an appended "_1", even when there 
are no naming conflicts.
I just live with it.


FYI, I use the T and t's as time separators because I occasionally share 
pictures with Windows users and I discovered
that the ":"s I was using were not acceptable to NTFS
