[digiKam-users] How to search for spaces?

[digikam-2]

DK 7.0 appimage on Manjaro.

Some images contain " " (space/blank) in the filename. I want to
change the space to "-" (dash)

How can I search for them in DK7?

I can do that in bash, but I try to do these file moves/renames in DK
not to "screw up" and end with some useless data in thumbnails,
faces...

I'm not aware of any way to do it in DK but pyRenamer is a really good
tool for that sort of thing.

If I do all my renames in bash, what will happen in DK with the new
thumbnails generated, what about the old ones?

The advanced search in digiKam can do it. Simply enter a space in the field
for the file name and all images with a space in the name will be displayed.

Mark all images and call Rename (F2) and with this command:

[file]{replace:" ","-",i}

 you can automatically replace the spaces.
