Sorting pictures

Dick Angus-3

I have used Digikam a fair bit for several years and really enjoy it. However, I just found a new issue that I could use help with.

 

Four of us just went on a vacation carrying 3 cameras. We all took pictures in all the locations we visited. I have modified the metadata so that I know who took each photo. I would like to be able to merge all three sets of photos from a given location in one Digikam album so that they are in order. I know that renaming is one way, but that's awkward. Is there a drag and drop capability that can be used visually and then automatically rename all the photos once they are in my drag and drop order?

 

TIA guys

What do you think is awkward about renaming images? I rename all of my
images to this format CameraModel_YYYYMMDDTHHMMSS_XX

That way I get what camera model, the year and time, and XX is a
serial number usually only 00 but for the times when I take multiple
images in the same second it gets incrimented. Id be happy to share my
script if you like, but digikam can do similar renaming.
