[Pkg-kde-extras] Bug#415757: digikam: Bad names chosen for duplicate files

[Philipp Marek]

X-Reportbug-Version: 3.34
X-Debbugs-Cc: philipp at marek.priv.at
Package: digikam
Version: 2:0.9.0-1
Severity: normal


When I'm preparing a directory for an order (real paper-pictures), I usually 
copy some files to make the relatives happy.
Now, when I'm just copying the files (CTRL-C CTRL-V), digikam says that this 
name is already taken; when I press the button "Suggest new name", the last 
part (the time of creation for me) is incremented.
So far, so good.

But on second copying, when I let digikam suggest a name, it *again* just 
increments by one - although this name is already taken, too!

I know about possible problems with NFS and so on, in that it's not always 
possible to get asked only once when multiple users are working in the same 
directory, but for such simple cases digikam should take a look (not even in 
the filesystem - it has the files in its database) and suggest a *free* name.

For multiple copying of the same file digikam should even remember that it had 
to change the name, and don't even ask again whether to suggest a new one - 
it should "just do it" :-)

Currently I press CTRL-V, and have to press "Suggest" - "Rename" multiple 
times to make a *single* copy!


Regards,

Phil
