Bug ID: 500635
Summary: Auto import files with predefined extensions
Classification: Applications
Product: digikam
Version: 8.5.0
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: Import-Settings
Assignee: digikam-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: fred...@witherden.org
Target Milestone: ---
When importing files from a memory card it would be nice if
additional/alternative extensions can be specified such that if these files
exist on the card they are imported too. There are two good use-cases for
this:
1. For those who shoot RAW + JPEG it would mean we only need to select *either*
the RAW or JPEG files. The remainder would be picked up automatically from the
alternative extension mechanism. So if I select foo.ARW and foo.jpg exists on
the card it is brought over, too. (Then in the album one can use the existing
group-by tool to merge the RAW and JPEG images.)
2. In RAW workflows where one might open a RAW file in an application such as
RawTherapee or Darktable (both of which create sidecar files) before import
this would enable the sidecars to be brought in automatically. This is useful
if one has done any preliminary edits as they will now be saved.
The logic would be something like
for f in import_files:
for e in additional_extensions:
if f'{f}.{e}' in directory:
import_files.append(f'{f}.{e}')
if f'{f[:-3]}.{e}' in directory:
import_files.append(f'{f[:-3]}.{e}')
but of course made robust against files whose extensions are not three letters.
