           Summary: File rename during image upload fails silently
           Product: digikam
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: pwaldo waldoware com


Version:           0.9.2-final (using KDE 3.5.6, Kubuntu (feisty) \
                4:3.5.6-0ubuntu14.1)
Compiler:          Target: x86_64-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.20-16-generic

During upload of images from camera, final file names are are temporary file names \
like "PQTBTU~V.JPG", and no indication is given that there is a problem giving the \
file the expected name.

This happens because the file name template produces file names that are invalid for \
the file system.  In my particular case, I am storing the images on a networked CIFS \
share.  I chose "ISO" for the Date Format, producing a desired file name like this: \
"photo2007-10-06T17:28:12-000003.crw".  Colons are not allowed for CIFS (FAT32) file \
systems, so renaming the temporary file to the final name fails.  This is reasonable \
that it should fail, but there is no indication that it has failed.  I would expect a \
dialog indicating failure, with the chance to abort or manually rename.

This may be difficult to duplicate if the underlying file system is ext2, as the file \
name characters allowed are anything but NULL and /.
