Import-Tool doesn't rename properly

Matthias Albert
Hi digikam friends,

recently, I discovered a behaviour with the import tool following this
scenario:

preparation: set file name renaming option to something like:
 "Prefix-[date:"yyyyMMdd"]-[file].[ext]". Then a file name like
"Prefix-20170426-DSC_1234.jpg" should result for every image.

1. insert a memory card with some new photos and some older ones
2. download only new photo files (shortcut: Ctrl-N)
3. the result: only one image file is renamed, the other ones remain
unchanged.

I have been doing this for over a year now without problems. I noticed
this erroneous behaviour only recently, but it may have been present for
some weeks. A workaround is to mark the new photos manually and then

I am using digikam 5.5.0 under Manjaro linux.


Does anyone agree that this is a bug? And if so, where can I file a bug?

Thank you
Matthias

Th workaround was incomplete. Here is the full sentence:

A workaround is to mark the new photos manually and then hit the menu
"Download selected".
