[Bug 217766] New: Cannot change file extension in "Rename" dialog

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=217766

           Summary: Cannot change file extension in "Rename" dialog
           Product: digikam
           Version: 1.0.0-beta5
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: [hidden email]
        ReportedBy: [hidden email]


Version:           1.0.0-beta5 (using KDE 4.3.4)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

For some reason digiKam's editor started saving JPEG files with a file
extension of ".jpeg" instead of ".jpg" (which was the extension of the
original files). It has stopped doing this now, but, as I didn't really
notice at the time, I now have lots of files with a ".jpeg" extension
that I want to change to have a ".jpg" extension like all of the others.
However, the "Rename" dialog does not allow me to change the full file
name, only the part before the extension.

I had an issue with renaming file outside of digiKam before that cost
me tens of hours of wasted time re-tagging over 2,000 images, so I
don't know if it is safe to just rename the files outside of digiKam.

Surely a "Rename" dialog should allow a file to be "Rename[d]".

OK, 1.0.0-rc1 has just appeared in Ubuntu's "karmic-backports" repo,
so I'll give that a go and confirm if it's fixed (for me).

Thanks.

rc1 doesn't have it I guess :D Somehow this commit was lost and I re-applied it
after rc1. But the final (coming in 2 weeks?) will have it.

Yeah, I checked rc1 and I cannot edit the extension in a
non-tortuous way. If I want to change "X.jpeg" to "X.jpg",
instead of just deleting the "e", I have to do something
like this:

  X.[ext]{r:"e",""}

Or other combinations of modifiers on the extension.
