digiKam rename Date

Hello,
is there a solution when rename the photos when there is a conflict because several photos were taken at the same second?

My desired setting is: [date:yyyyMMdd_hhmmss]

[date:yyyyMMdd_hhmmss]{unique}

{unique}

But if in the selection of images to be renamed several were taken at exactly the same second, there is a conflict.
How to tell digiKam to add a counter in case of conflict with #, but only then and not always?

I just discovered this: {unique} how do you insert it?

Found the solution after all:
[date:yyyyMMdd_hhmmss]{unique}
This: {unique} must be green.

[date:yyyyMMdd_hhmmss]{unique}

This renaming string should solve the problem. Note that you need digiKam-7.6.0 for the unique parameter to also consider the file extension.

Yes, it works fine now. I was just having trouble pasting {unique} in. If I just copy it in as black font, it doesn’t work. I have to

  1. bring the cursor right to the end of the default, then
  2. click on the pen that is now active, and then I can: Select Unique.
    It’s that simple if you know how.

DigiKam is wonderful!

Thank you for asking the question as I did not know about this {unique} nor how to implement it.
