is it on Linux or Windows?

I have no experience on Windows with digiKam, but on Linux I'm pretty 
sure digiKam use file inode ID (dunno the exact name), not name, because 
you can easily test on a special folder than renaming with the OS is 
immediately visible in digiKam

of course, the wmp file have to be renamed also

else, use que batch digiKam system :-)
