Bug ID: 501755
Summary: Option to log the renamed files
Classification: Applications
Product: digikam
Version: 8.5.0
Platform: Other
OS: Microsoft Windows
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: AdvancedRename-dialog
Assignee: digikam-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: nicolas.bris...@airbus.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
I recently had the issue that I renamed a large list of pictures, after sharing
the initial names with some people who then wanted the pictures but referenced
them by their pre-renaming name. This generated quite a lot of effort to
rematch the old to the new names.
Therefore, I would find it great if a simple checkbox could be added to the
rename dialog to log the results of the renaming.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go to an album and note a few picture names
2. Select all pictures
3. Hit F2 and rename them (the rule doesn't matter, but it should be one that
does not preserve the original file name)
4. Try to find what new name the original pictures had
OBSERVED RESULT
It is impossible to find the mapping between old and new names, except if you
still have a copy around and a lot of time!
EXPECTED RESULT
It should be possible to generate easily a text file, for instance called
BatchRename_[YYYY_MM_DD_hh:mm:ss].log containing a header with "Old name -> New
name" and a line for each renamed picture using this pattern (the format can be
adapted):
IMG0001.JPG -> New_name_01.jpg
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
