Digicam downloading image twice when folder name changes

Maria Granditsky
Hello!

I hope I am doing this correctly, by writing to the list. I have tried
to find an answer to my problem prior to writing.
I use Digikam to download images from my camera's memory card to a
folder, that Digikam creates. I have configured it so that the name of
the folder is the same date as the pictures were taken.
I then want to add a short descriptive text to the folder's name.
Digikam makes, for example, a folder called 2013_05_10 and I want to
rename it 2013_05_10_peters_bday

Then, the next time I insert my memory card and want to download new
photos, Digikam tries to download the older photos on the card as well.
Again! I do not empty the card until I have burned the photos on DVD and
transferred to a second hard drive.

So: If I change the file name of the folder that the pictures are stored
in, Digikam cannot know that they already are downloaded.
Is this a bug? Can this be changed?

In my Windows days, I used a software from Canon and it knew if a photo
had been transferred to the hard drive even if I moved the folder to
another location on the disc.
I would very much like to have this solved, as I want to be able to
re-name the folders.

All the best

/Maria
