But unlike in KRename, these modifiers should be chainable and be applied to any token, not only the file name. Tokens that can take parameters should have a config dialog, so that in the best case the user doesn't have to remember any parameters at all.Īnother important goal was to be able to modify each parsed information afterwards, for example to remove unwanted strings from file or directory names. A token should be added with a single click, the line edit then receives its focus back and the user can continue to type in other information. The easiest way to do this is to have a line edit widget, that accepts special characters and replaces them with the parsed information for every image, in a same way KRename does it.Īlthough very powerful, it can become quite annoying entering all those token characters by hand. The goal of this tool is quite simple:Īllow the user to enter EVERY possible information digiKam might have about an image and let the user decide in which order these information are added to the file name. So I started to implement a new utility for digiKam: AdvancedRename. Sure there is a KIPI plugin for batch renaming, but this plugin is not very powerful and has no access to the digiKam database. ![]() But calling KRename from the "Open With." dialog in digiKam was not very intuitive, it just felt wrong.ĭigiKam can manage nearly every piece of information found in an image, therefore it would be nice to have all this information available for file renaming, too, since renaming is one of the basic managing tasks. Most users (me too) renamed their images with KRename, a quite powerful batch renamer. ![]() In the past renaming images in digiKam was not very powerful. ![]()
