Number of digits in file name

Hi,

The added a sequence number has always 5 digits, is there a way to configure
that?
In the manual there is written something about using strings
like "photo-%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S" to customise the file name and in the
mailinglist I have found a hint about using "%%Ond" to insert a sequence
number. But when using those, digikam renames the pictures to literally that
string, without inserting numbers. Is that correct behaviour of digikam 0.9.0
beta 3? Is there a way to choose the number of digits and the separating
character (the dash in occurence).

Thanks,

Norman

The documentation seems outdated.
Currently, the sequence number and the dash are not customizable. Nor is the
order of the different parts of the custom file name.
Prefix and suffix can be freely choosen, but nothing is substituted in the
string IIRC.
The date and time is freely configurable, documentation is given in the edit
box itself (setting "Advanced")

I support this wish. Here in The Netherlands we have a standard
published by the NIDF (Dutch Institute for Digital Fotography). They
advice to use the following format for archiving purposes:
abcdYYYYMMDD-9999.ext
1.- 4 characters being initials of the fotographer
    cmae or cm-- or chm-
2.- 8 numericals for the Year Month and Day
3.- a hyphen
4.- sequence# of 4 digits; up to 9999 pictures per day can be archived
5.- file-extension

1, 2 and 5 are met by digikam. Current SVN-digikam also uses a hyphen
for 3. and for 4. 6 digits are used. It would be nice if this was made
configurable.

Thanks for answering, so I do not loose anymore time to figure out how it
could work. A pity though the file name is not more configurable...
Thanks anyway for the great software!
