Notes about "Modifiers" in the digiKam rename tool

Some users have asked me what modifiers are. They don't seem to know this concept in a renaming tool and are a little bit confused by it. I will try to explain what the modifiers do and why I implemented the renaming tool in such a way. Update: Error Handling Wrongly placed modifiers are highlighted now, so you can easily see if you made a mistake. A modifier is invalid when it is not added directly behind an option or an option-modifier pair.
