[digiKam-users] Rename Question

I noticed a strange thing on renaming the other day, I waited for DK v6 
to be released to see if it was any different but the issue is still there.

My pics are taken in raw, auto rename with date/time on import into DK, 
then use Darktable to convert to .jpg

As example I have 6 pictures taken over a few hours, renamed on import to -

PIC20190215T153840.jpg
PIC20190215T155618.jpg
PIC20190215T155632.jpg
PIC20190215T204336.jpg
PIC20190215T211358.jpg
PIC20190215T211416.jpg

If I now select all of these and select 'Rename' it suggests the 
retaining the same name (as expected) for 4 of them, but for the other 2

PIC20190215T155618.jpg    >    PIC20190217T224113.jpg
PIC20190215T155632.jpg    >    PIC20190217T224115.jpg

So 2 days later. For the first of these the date/time matches metadata > 
EXIF > Image Information > Date and Time

For the second one it is one second before that, so no idea where it has 
got that from.

My rename rule is [date:"PICyyyyMMddThhmmss"]{unique}

Why are these 2 pics treated differently to the others?  I thought that 
the rule would use 'Date and Time Original' but looking at it, whilst 
the others look right some are a second out.

Can anyone enlighten me please?

Mick
