[Bug 237806] New: Rename using database entries

[Michal Thoma]

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=237806

           Summary: Rename using database entries
           Product: digikam
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: [hidden email]
        ReportedBy: [hidden email]


Version:           1.2 (using KDE 4.4.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

Right now digiKam has pretty cool renaming capabilities though yesterday when
doing extensive piece of works I discovered some limitations.

We have now ability to rename file using file metadata. This is good, but we
first need to write metadata to files. This metadata renaming function fails to
work when we don't write descriptions etc. to to files.

So I think there should be another option in rename - Database. Where we would
be able to select - Digikam description, digikam rating, digikam keywords etc.
And that would work regardless of what is written in metadata of the original
files.

New rename option

I started to implement something, right now it is very limited (to be precise,
only one keyword exists :-))

I'm not quite sure which database values I want to display here and how to
present them to the user. Need to evaluate this first...

Multiline comments

Multiline comments are cleaned up to match a single line, otherwise newline
characters mess up the filename.

From my point of view, the Comment is most important.

There after the copyright data, like author etc.

I would like also to see the possibility to somehow include keywords though
here it's get really confusing as there could be multiple keywords and multiple
hierarchies...

My working scenario for which I like to have keywords renaming is as follows:

I have couple of images in various albums and I'm making some selection for
purpose. For example I need to select some images of Mountains, Rivers and
Monuments. So i create following keyword structure: My Tags > Selections >
Selection #1 > Mountains | Rivers | Monuments

I select the images and tag that with respective keywords.

Then I export all images to new album out of archive (like
~/Images/Selection/Selecion #1/*) and I like to rename the images according to
keywords with following pattern
[db:all_descendants_of_keyword:"Selection_#1"]_###.ext so the result will be
something like Mountains_001.tif, Rivers_001.tif etc.

Is it possible?

Little bit more thinking I feel that there should these possibilities for
keywords renaming:

-All keywords (option - separator) - unsorted list of all selected keywords
with selectable sparator.

-All descendants of given keyword (options - separator) - keywords sorted by
level, divided by separator. If separator is slash "/" it should result in
recreating of directory structure according to tags - which is in fact very
desirable and useful function unfortunately still missing in digiKam.

-First or second or third... descendant of given keyword ...

I feel these are most useful possibilites - the others are:

-All top level keywords
-All bottom level keywords
-All parent keywords
etc.

Though I don't find much practical use for these.

Sure this should be possible... Right now I only added the most common values
in SVN trunk, like comments, author, aperture etc... the rest needs to be
analyzed a little bit more. Keywords can, as you already mentioned, really mess
up the filename if they are too deeply nested. Need to check what I can do.

I guess I will close this bugreport now, since the primary goal has been fixed.

Michal,
please open a new bugreport for adding keywords to file renaming, if this is
still a needed feature.
