Rename on Import

[Mick Sulley]

Hi,

I would like to auto rename pictures during import.  Searching seems to
suggest that this can be done but I can't see any options to set it up.

I am on 2.6.0, from the repository in Debian Wheezy.  Do I need a later
version to get this functionality?

Thanks
Mick

You can set it up when you open the import window ... I don't have
access to digikam right now, but look at the upper right side of that
window ...

OK found it, but now it raises another question.  I have got it to work
to rename the file with a timedate based name, but the name it creates
is one hour different to what I expected, why is that?  EXIF Image
Information says date and time 2013:04:08 20:07:16, Photograph
Information Date and Time (original) and (digitized) say the same, but
the filename has changed to PIC2013_0408_210718.JPG

My format string is PIC[date:yyyy_MMdd_hhmmss]

So date is OK, but the hour is one out and the seconds are two out.  The
seconds don't bother me much but I would like to get the hour right.  
Any ideas?
