Dear Do I rename the photos from a catalog within DT?

Please search the forum before asking. You would have found that this can only be done using a script:

Rename within Darktable

This script appears as a lighttable module. Rename images Lua script [Screenshot-20210904141533-633x764] [Screenshot-20210904141403-803x1077]

The docs for the script:
https://darktable-org.github.io/luadocs/lua.scripts.manual/scripts/contrib/rename_images/
To install scripts (the description uses another one, but it should help you with the basic steps):

Median stacking in the Darktable - noise reduction

You can still download and archive LR, right? Note: I don’t use Lua, but went through the installation process to write this. To get the scripts: https://darktable-org.github.io/luadocs/lua.scripts.manual/installation/ Get git for your OS (how: read the docs linked above) Enable the script manager, and install scripts: [image] You’ll see many console windows popping up for a few moments, don’t be scared. Just wait until it’s over. Make sure action = start/stop scripts is selected with cat…

Thanks for asking the question. It is something I would also like to do in DT. I will check out the links Kofa supplied.

Maybe not exactly what you are looking for but have you tried RPD (Rapid Photo Downloader)? This is of course assuming that you can rename the files before importing to DT.
