Figure 21.2 Downloading Pictures from a Camera
TIP: Renaming Images
Mass renaming of your images comes in handy if your camera's filenames are
not meaningful enough for your purpose. Provide a unique prefix, add an op-
tional date, and let digiKam provide a sequence number.
Select all images to download from the camera by pressing the left mouse button or by
clicking individual images with Ctrl pressed or by using one of the select modes provided
by the Images menu at the bottom of the download window. Click Download and select
the destination from the list or create a new album with New Album, which automatically
suggests a filename with the current date. Confirm with OK to start the download pro-
cess.
TIP: Downloading Images from the Storage Medium
To save your camera's battery power, you can also attach a USB hub to your
computer providing an appropriate slot for your storage medium and download
the files from there. Once the USB hub is connected to your computer, the
KDE media handler dialog opens and offers to download the images from the
medium you attached.
