Where is this blue-circled "i"? I did find the Image->Rename option,
but it will only work on selected photos and one cannot select all
photos in the database. I did find a blue-circled "i" for
Help->Components Information however this does not seem to be to what
you are referring. I am on Digikam 1.7.
Thanks.

I reproduce exactly the same issue testing digiKam 1.8.0 on a fresh
computer... and i found the problem...
It's alwyas marble widget which exit create an exception when world maps
data are not installed on computer.
Install marble with maps data and all will work fine.
Not : with digiKam 2.0.0, it do not crash immediately in this case, because
worldmap widget used in digiKam switch by default to googlemaps, which do
not depand of marble widget. But if you switch to local map, it crash
immediately.

To open the rename dialog:
There are three ways that I've found (possibly there are more):
1.Select a few photographs, right-click, and rename is the fifth
option down the list on my version of digikam (1.7 from philip5 ppa,
running on ubuntu 10.10). 2. select and then hit F2 opens the dialog.
3.Menu-Image-Rename.
The blue circle:
When the rename dialog is open, look at the blank box where you enter
your renaming information. The line has an x inside a funny arrow at
the end, next to a drop down arrow. Just to the right of the box is an
icon that looks like a pencil (sort of - it is too small for me to
really see what it is supposed to be). Clicking on the pencil (if that
is what it really is) brings up several options. "Replace" is one of
the options. But ignore the pencil icon for now. Look to the right of
the pencil icon to see the blue circle with the "i" in it to see a
list of all the renaming options, along with an explanation.
To select all the items in an album:
Go to the menu at the top, click on View, look to the next to the
bottom option where it says "Include Album Sub-Tree" and check it.
That way, the entire album is visible. Warning: at least on my
computer, clicking on an album with 5000 images sends the cpu up to
100% for maybe 15 seconds (my computer is over five years old).
Will it work on your entire album without any problems?
I am not a digikam expert. I am in the process of learning how to use
digikam. I did a rename on a test album with 500 images. It went
flawlessly. But I wasn't removing ":".
I did a test rename on a couple of images after inserting some random
":" just to make sure I gave you the right string to put in the box.
It also went flawlessly.
Databases scare me silly just because it is so easy to upset them. If
I were you I'd copy a couple hundred sample images to a test album and
test away using digikam rename (and also maybe using Krename, whatever
that is, if you don't like the results with digikam rename).
It seems to me that there still is one bug with the rename, and that
is with the {unique} option, but that shouldn't affect removing ":"
from file names.
My personal experience with other DAM software (photools imatch), is
that if you rename outside the DAM software, it will treat the renamed
images as new images. But if Krename is a kde ap, maybe that makes a
difference, at least if you use a full-blown KDE desktop.
Perhaps people more experienced in Krename/Digikam combo might speak up here.
Hope that helps. There are no guarantees. Wish there were. Try a test
album first. Best of luck and let me know how it goes.
Kind Regards,
Elle Stone

Hmm, I just did some testing, being interested in this topic myself
(having around 9000 files to rename). It seems digikam really does
recognize when a file has been renamed outside of digikam. But please
check for yourself!
Here's the results of a little mini-test, and then a question for the
digikam experts:
Test results:
With digikam closed, I renamed a couple of image files using xfe file
browser. I have "rescan every start" disabled, so when I started
digikam the old file name was still in use. But upon using
Menu-Tools-'Scan for New Images', both files names changed to the new
file name. More importantly, for one of the images, I had previously
changed the metadata (using digikam) so it no longer matched what was
in the image file, and that image showed up with the correctly changed
metadata. So it looks like digikam really is reassociating the newly
renamed file with the original database entry? Awesome.
I checked the image file metadata using exiftool - all the original
file metadata is still in place, untouched (as it should be, because I
have digikam set up to not write metadata to the files).
Then I accidentally had two instances of digikam running, and the
first instance picked up a change in tags applied using the second
instance. Then when I closed the second instance (thinking I'd closed
digikam completely) and renamed a file using xfe, digikam (first
instance) picked up the renamed file immediately, without even any
kind of refresh. Awesome.
Question:
Using the "SQLite database browser" to inspect the contents of a
digikam sqlite database, I see there is a "uniqueHash" of each image,
which looks like an MD5 hash. Does the uniqueHash enable digikam to
recognize that an image has been renamed outside of digikam, and then
reassociate the new name with the existing database entry? Is this
safe to do?
Kind regards,
Elle Stone

Subject: [Digikam-users] using extracted jpeg as "sidecar" for raw
files
To: [hidden email]
Message-ID: <[hidden email]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Hello digikam users,
I don't want to use dng. But I would like a way to tag, caption, etc my raw
files. I was thinking of extracting the embedded jpegs and using them as a
handy "side-cars" for the raw files for tagging, rating, etc. Has anyone
done so? How did it work for you? Any reasons why it is perhaps not such a
good idea?
If the jpeg "side-car"carries all the metadata produced by digikam, then if
desired I could use exiftool to write selected jpeg metadata back to the
corresponding raw file. And the jpeg offers visual confirmation that the
jpeg actually belongs to its corresponding raw file.
I've separated all my in-camera-produced jpegs into a separate album from my
raw files. I don't shoot simultaneous raw and jpeg (slow, uses a lot of
extra space on the card), so there is no problem of confusing an extracted
jpeg from a simultaneously-produced jpeg.
dcraw can extract the embedded jped: "dcraw -e *.cr2" (my camera is Canon
400d/xti). Not all the metadata gets carried across from raw to jpeg, but
enough does, I think, for my purposes.
exiv2 also can extract an embedded jpeg and keeps some? all? the metadata,
but I don't know how to use exiv2 - does anyone have any hints?
Thanks for advice,
Elle Stone

OK. Thanks a lot for your investigation. I've found marble is included
in kdeedu4 and you have worked fot it to work
(https://trac.macports.org/ticket/25176)
Just : How do you install maps data for marble ? No tips after 15'
googling...
Thanks in advance,
G.
