Read more →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.
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.
I'm currently working on a new tool for Image Editor and Batch Queue Manager to perform camera sensor noise using Wavelets. The tool works into YCrCB color space and support 16 bits color depth.
The tool core code is based on Gimp Wavelets De-noise tool. I ported code to C++/Qt4 and fixed some memory management bugs and improved a little bit the processing loop to be be faster.
Read more →Just a quick comment that renaming in digiKam is capable of using syntax highlighting now. It should be easier to decipher a renaming string this way :-)
A quick demo video can be found here:
... as well as some screenshots:
What about saving changes?
Is there any plan about saving these strings? I always use the "dir_[date:yyyy-MM-dd]_###" and there could be some way to avoid to write it.
