[digiKam-users] Help - Consolidation

[Scott Patterson]

I move the photos to a temporary directory, scan that photo, then rename the pictures file name by date and time they were taken and add a unique number if somehow there is a duplicate photo (burst mode). Then I wrote a simple script to move them to a directory of year-month (YYYY-MM).
