Re: [Krename-users] Patch for pictures taken in continuous mode

[Dominik S. <dom...@we...>]

Hello,

Thanks for your patch. It fixes a big problem in KRename. I did not yet hav=
e a=20
chance to look at your patch nor to commit, but I will do so as soon as I=20
find a free minute. I am currently moving once again so it might take me a=
=20
few days to finally commit your changes.

I think your patch is worth a KRename 3.0.15 release for KDE3. An important=
=20
bug will be fixed and KDE3 will still be around for some time (debian? ;) )=
=20
so it is surely worthe the effort.

I am not yet sure though why this problem exists anyway in the first place.=
=20
=46ileOperation or BatchRenamer::work should really check if a file exists=
=20
before overwriting it.

best regards,
	Dom=20
