[digiKam-users] Renaming pairs of JPG/RAW

[Hella Breitkopf]

No solution for "let digikam do the work" but for those who are not
averse to some command line following might be a solution:
I use a script and analyze only the metadata of the jpep,
related files (same basename) are renamed based on that meta data.

I started with a bash script and heavy use of exiftoolkit (
https://github.com/unixhex/exipicrename),
but that was s l o w .

So I've rewritten and improved this as Python script.
All files with the same basename are renamed.

Best wishes,
Hella -- who started to rename files in that way probably before she
detected digikam.
