[digiKam-users] Managing old scanned photos

[woenx]

I would say that any format that uses the YYYYMMDD order should work. I'm
partial to YYYY-MM-DD-description.jpg, because it's easier to read, but it's
also a bit longer. I wouldn't add the time to the filename of an old
picture, just the date.

Exiftool can automatically add the exif date from the filename if you do
this:
   exiftool -alldates<filename  -overwrite_original <filename.jpg>

(no need to specify the date format, it should detect it automatically,
although I've found sometimes it has trouble if it doesn't also include the
time)

If I'm not mistaken, digikam will also include this functions in the next
version, as this function was added last week:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=406855 . So I guess we can try that in
the next appimage in a few days at https://files.kde.org/digikam/
