Photo disappeared

aangelo
Hi all!
My environment is
- digiKam Versione 2.5.0, con piattaforma di sviluppo KDE 4.8.5 (4.8.5).
- OS Xubuntu 12.

I work with digiKam on files coming from my Canon 60D, with no rename problems but photos thumbnails disappears  arise after I rename photos coming from my smartphone Samsung S3.

After I uploaded with FTP some photos taken with my Samsung S3, all thumbnails seems OK but, when I rename with digiKam some of these photos, renamed photos remains displayed while others in the same folder are no more shown.
Note that the problem is only with digiKam: files are always in the folders.
I tried the following sequence:
- Close digiKam
- Copy the "disappeared" photo in a new folder
- Open again digiKam
but the new folder appears empty.
If I open these photos with Gimp and save them with a new name, these photos (only the Gimp-renamed ones) are shown again.
I tried to rename with digiKam a few photos but all miniatures hide again (included the Gimp-renamed).

I renamed .BAK both digikam4.db and thumbnails-digikam.db, relaunched digiKam and let digiKam rebuild its database but all "hidden" photos are still not displayed.

What can I do?
Does a new release solve this problem?
Thank you!
