[digiKam-users] Renaming pairs of JPG/RAW

[Maik Qualmann]

This problem is not unknown, we also have bug reports for it. Whether the 
import tool has a correct date depends on many factors. First, the reading of 
metadata must be activated in the digiKam camera settings (slows down the 
transmission). For RAW files that are read via the GPhoto interface, we cannot 
read metadata via Exiv2, here the file date is only possible. However, the 
file date of a camera can differ significantly from the actual date in the 
metadata. In short, it is better to rename the file after importing it.
