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:
The docs for the script:

To install scripts (the description uses another one, but it should help you with the basic steps):

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.
I installed the Rename Images script to run with Darktable on a Mac. I then selected 10 photos and used these parameters
(EXIF.YEAR),(SEQUENCE).$(FILE_EXTENSION)
When I click rename, there some progress and then it stops. What am I doing wrong?
I just tested on Windows 11. You need dollar signs in front of all the brackets and I wonder if you really want the comma which will work, but maybe a dash or underscore might look better.
Those were there, but the forum engine interpreted them as formatting.
