[digiKam-users] Cameraname in filename - is this possible?

[Tom Rank]

Hi

I realise this isn't a Digikam solution, but as you mention using a 
downloading tool, you and others might be interested in Rapid Photo 
Downloader: https://www.damonlynch.net/rapid/index.html

Lots of renaming options - I've not tried them all! Free and open 
source: quick and easy to use alongside Digikam. Linux only (which is 
not a problem for me).

Happy Christmas!

Tom
