digikam batch queue manager isn't able to change the size of files with "2009.11.12_(......).jpg" Filenames

[towerlexa]

Within the digikam batch queue manager it is not possible to do a batch job for resizing some images.
The following behavior is visible:

I tried to run a batch job for downsizing some images with this kind of names:

"2009.11.01_thailand_katja_05_dscf1267_0028.jpg", "2009.11.01_thailand_katja_05_dscf1268_0029.jpg" and so on...

The batch queue manager do only the resizing for one picture and dies with the following message:

"Do you would like to overwrite the picture "2009.jpg"? This must be a bug, because the batch queue manager is renaming the files by itself. This is not a wanted behavior, because i only would like to change the size of the pictures from 2848 Pixel x 2136 Pixel to 950x712 pixel. The picture is renaming to "2009.jpg" I could not explain this behavior, but my filenames are valid and without spaces, as you could see above.

Additionally it is not useful to change the setting for overwriting or renaming the picture. These settings are still not working!

Please see my second screenshot.

Thanks for your help.

Maybe could someone tell me, why digikam isn't using the kipi-plugins as working in *buntu 8.04? With the normal kipi-plugins these resizing, and other things are working fine.

Thanks

I can confirm this on digikam 1.0 when using files with multiple . in the name (not just for file extension).

This was reported in Ubuntu and I can reproduce with digikam 1.0:

It seems that BQM tries to cut file extension and does this on first dot (.), while it should probably use last dot in order to work with filenames that uses dot also for the name part (and not only for extension).

I just checked out an old version where AdvancedRename was not integrated, the problem was already in there. So it must be somewhere indeep of BQM itself...
