Summary: wishlist sort thumbnails manually and rename images
Product: digikam
Version: 0.9.3
Platform: SuSE RPMs
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo: digikam-devel kde org
ReportedBy: Albert.Backer gmx net
Version: 0.9.3 (using KDE 3.5.7)
Installed from: SuSE RPMs
Currently digikam uses the lexical order of images to create a slide show. If you want to rearrange the order of the images, you have to manually rename selected images so that they form a new lexical sequence.
The batch rename feature does not help here, as it relies on the existing sort order for the new names.
Picasa - although not my prefered photo tool - partially offers this functionality. It allows the user to logically rearrange the sequence of the images in a folder via drag and drop and stores this sequence in an config file. Picasa also allows to batch rename these images. Unfortunately it only appends numbers without padding with zeros so that you do not get the expected lexical order.
I created a filter script as a hack, that takes the Picasa generated XML-file and generates a shell script that renames the files lexically.
The best solution would of course be if digikam would be able to rearrange the images in thumbnail view and generated a file list that may be passed to an existing batch renamer.
