Renaming and Image Versions

[Nikolaus]

Hello,

As far as I can tell, batch-renaming multiple files only ever renames
the most recent version of a file, but leaves older versions unchanged.

This means that e.g. the files

my_picture.jpg
my_picture_v1.jpg

become

my_picture.jpg
2016-12-26_1.jpg

Amazingly enough, Digikam still correctly tracks the version dependency
between the files.

However, I actually need to rename *all* versions of an image, i.e. the
above should become

2016-12-26_1.jpg
2016-12-26_1_v1.jpg

Is there a way to achieve that?


(I need to rename all files because my old naming scheme uses some
characters that are not supported by a filesystem that I'd like to use).


Best,
-Nikolaus

digikam don't seems to care of file name, but probably about disk UID.
One can change the file name with the OS, Digikam still sees it

Ah, that's good to know, thanks!

But I'd still like to rename all the files with Digikam (so that I can
use the Exif data in the filename). Is there a way to do that?


Thanks,
