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

[Andreas Mair]

Hi Peter,

bug 314441 might be the reason in case of imports. But I'm also
talking about the rename feature.

My problem is that the rename pattern
"[meta:Exif.Image.DateTimeOriginal:yyyy-MM-dd_HHmmss]" no longer
works. The first problem is that I now must replace "...Exif.Image..."
by "...Exif.Photo...". After that I can use
"[meta:Exif.Photo.DateTimeOriginal]".

But I want to change the date format to my needs and this seems to be
impossible now. If I use "[date:yyyy-MM-dd_HHmmss]" it works, but not
"[meta:Exif.Photo.DateTimeOriginal:yyyy-MM-dd_HHmmss]".

Can anybody test this with digiKam 4.0beta?

Best regards,
Andreas
