There are lots of other variables you can use, see the buttons below the text field. files with identical names but different extensions will get the same number (useful if you shoot raw+jpg). makes this number "extension aware", i.e. I find this helpful to avoid name collisions if two photos were taken in the same second (e.g. The #-part adds the increasing number at the end. You can also use custom date formats (e.g. This results in files to be renamed based on their creation date and a incremented number (something like T10:57:17_001.jpg).
Digikam home directory how to#
The existing answer explains how to do this with other tools but since the question is about digiKam: If it somehow went wrong, you can undo this action, even after closing the tool: just invoke it again (with any selection) and press Undo. If you are happy with the new names displayed, press Start!. Your camera may or may not have a built-in sequence number somewhere in EXIF and you can try to explore, but most likely you will have to handle the number yourself from now on.Īltogether, we have a pattern like \ for now. But note all files will have a sequential number in the current operation. Say, if you had last number 123 before you formatted the card and you want to continue, type in : this will make the first name 0124 (with the unchanged extension, given the default pattern ). You can start from any number and have any width (and step). I don't know how you prefer to name your files, but let's name them with just a sequential number yet put them in separate folders according to their EXIF date.ĭelete what's in the Rename mask field currently, click Plugin and select the required EXIF field in the preferred format. Now press Ctrl+M to invoke the Multi-Rename Tool.Īll you need to do is to create the rename mask, i.e. if you have other files in the folder, position the cursor on any jpg file and press Alt+(Numpad +): this will select all files with the extension matching the current file.Numpad * (this inverts selection, which is presently none), or.With Total Commander, navigate to the folder where you dumped all the photos.

Digikam home directory portable#
If you are not already using it, getting a whole file manager for just renaming may seem excessive, but 1) it's very small and non-disruptive (can be used in a portable way) 2) it's insanely more productive and convenient than Windows Explorer, so it's worth having it anyway. I use a multi-rename tool built in the Total Commander file manager. I'll describe how I deal with the problem in Windows. But since it's a common problem, it's worth having a good tool. In all but trivial cases, it requires a specialised tool. As far as I understand it, this is a case of a mass rename problem.
