Extension aware rename (maintain raw file and jpg association by basename)?

[Peter A. Gustafson-2]

Hi,

I think the rename tool is great!  I use it to assign filenames based on date and album and it has vastly improved my organization.

Is there a way to do extension aware rename/renumber?  For example:

image010.jpg -> image001.jpg
image011.jpg -> image002.jpg
image011.dng -> image002.dng
image012.jpg -> image003.jpg

instead of:

image010.jpg -> image001.jpg
image011.jpg -> image002.jpg
image011.dng -> image003.dng
image012.jpg -> image004.jpg

Perhaps this feature is available but I've missed it.    Thanks,

Pete

From the file menu in the rename dialog you can select extension which
expands to [ext].

OK... I saw that.  But how do I make it work as I intend?  In my example the rename string "image###.[ext]" causes:

image010.jpg -> image001.jpg
image011.jpg -> image002.jpg
image011.dng -> image003.dng
image012.jpg -> image004.jpg

Thus, it separates the two image011 images into image002 and image003 and "disassociates" their basenames.

Ah ok, sorry, Didn't see that. I don't think there is a solution for
this right now. Andi?

OK... thanks.  
I'll wait for Andi to reply and then (presumably) file a feature request.  I
assume those working in raw may appreciate this feature.

In the interim for any seeking this feature, below is a bash script I used to
renumber.  This can then be coupled with the digikam renumber process and
[file] string to set the desired filenames.  (ie a two step process).  Be
warned I didn't make this robust so examine and use with care.  

Thanks again!
Pete

PS (Uncomment the important line to make it work... I wanted people to think
before executing!)

#!/bin/bash

function renumber {
    echo Renumbering the archive
    index=1;
    for base in `ls $*|cut -f1 -d.|uniq`; do
        name=`printf %03d $index`
        echo rename ${base} ${name} ${base}.*;
        #rename ${base} ${name} ${base}.*;
        let index=index+1;
    done
}

if [ -z "$1" ]; then
  echo usage: $0 images
  exit 1
else
    renumber $*
fi

No such a feature is not yet implemented.
Please file a feature request (if there isn't any already).
