Description S.Fritz 2018-05-08 19:14:59 UTC
I have a batch of pictures with upper case file and file type names like SAM_####.JPG. I wanted to resize them and additionally save them as a .jpg with 80% quality. The files should be overwritten. 

DigiKam didn't overwrite the files but created another version with the name SAM_###.jpg

This is not a bug, you have to choose overwrite and the renaming syntax is something like this:

SAM_####.[ext]{lower}

I had choosen to overwrite the existing files and to keep the existing name. So I was expecting to to only have one version afterwards.

Still I had two versions in the folder:

SAM_####.JPG - original file
SAM_####.jpg - batch processed file (correct size but not overwritten)
Comment 3 Maik Qualmann 2018-05-08 20:54:24 UTC
Ok, yes, BQM always creates a new file and because it is different file name from the original one, it will not be overwritten. As I see it, we need an additional option in about "delete original file".

digiKam 7.0.0 stable release is now published:

https://www.digikam.org/news/2020-07-19-7.0.0_release_announcement/

We need a fresh feedback on this file using this version.

Hello

Where can I find the "delete original file" option.
I'm currently running the version 8.0.0

Well, this bug report is not closed yet, which means that such an option doesn't exist yet. It was just an "idea" of mine in Comment 3.
