[Bug 179902] New: Picture numbering fails if pics taken at more than 1 image per second

http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=179902

Summary: Picture numbering fails if pics taken at more than 1
image per second
Product: digikam
Version: 0.9.4
Platform: unspecified
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo: [hidden email]
ReportedBy: [hidden email]

Version: 0.9.4 (using 3.5.9 "release 49.1" , openSUSE 11.0)
Compiler: Target: i586-suse-linux
OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.25.18-0.2-pae

I have taken pictures so that there are more than one pic taken in a single
second in the camera's storage.

When I download pictures, I rename the images using the Cameras's name (D70-)
and then I add the date and time of creation to that string in the format
yyyyMMdd-hhmmss so that a typical name of a image would be
D70-20061114-195729.JPG.

When importing images from the camera taken e.g. in second 4 the name of the
image gets D70-2009xxxx-yyyyy4. When importing the next picture (also made in
that second), Digicam stops the importing process (which is annoying with
cameras that just support USB1.1 and you got 2GB of Data in the card and you
return from lunch hoping the import is finished....) and complies that there is
already an image with that name and requests a decision to overwrite or rename
or whatever.
My suggestions:
best: Add a tenth (and if some crazy japanese guys go further than that a
hundreth) second entry in the dialog to rename the images - I do not know what
cameras do supply for accuracy of the creation date
second best: just let Digicam add a dash with an additional number that is
counted up by one for each pic taken in that second. This was Nikon's original
software behaviour. So I got images ending D70-2009xxxx-yyyyy4, then
D70-2009xxxx-yyyyy4-1, then D70-2009xxxx-yyyyy4-2 and so on and then
D70-2009xxxx-yyyyy5

I hope the problem is described well enough. Please feel free to contact me!

Thanks for your great work - I don't want to fail to mention!

Can you attach few image taken in this condition to test here. 3 images can be
enough.
