Rename jpegs after changing sequence in Kitodo 3

[apiller]

In Kitodo 2 was a subpoint of pagination to regenerate filenames after changing the sequence of the scans.
It was useful after adding or deleting pictures. Especially when URN granular is generated afterwards based on the filenames.
As far as I see there was no implementation of this feature in Kitodo 3.
There is no possibility to delete or add pictures afterwards either.

Is there by any chance a possibilty that I just overlook the features or is there no implementation yet?

You are correct, currently the feature to automatically rename image files is not implemented in Kitodo.Production 3. Partly, this is due to the fact that the order of images in a process is now controlled explicitely by the ORDER attribute of the pages, the sorting of mets:smLinkelements in mets:structLink and the order of mets:div elements in mets:structMap type="physical", instead of implicitly determining their order by filenames (filenames are still used to determine the initial order of images in a process, however, before they are linked in the mets file by saving the process for the first time in the metadata editor)

You can add new images (or delete existing ones) in the metadata editor using the context menu in the structure tree and gallery (and then re-order them to your liking via drag'n'drop), though, so perhaps that at least partly helps you in your use case?

Yes this would help partly. Actually I am not able to reproduce this picture. The point adding a medium is missing. Is this because of our old version (3.3.1) or do I have to add permissions to the task/role?
The point deleting the element is just for deleting the structure element or medium/structure in general?

@apiller "Medien hochladen" and "Medien löschen" are configurable elements in rolemanagement since Version 3.5

@solth We want to discuss with you pretty soon if it's feasible and(!) reasonable to build a function for renaming filenames according to the value of "ORDER". Analyzing different examples/situations in Metadataeditor we are feeling hope to do so.

[apiller]

@subhhwendt Do you have any idea how much time this would take? Because we need this pretty soon otherwise we have to change our workflow completely. Maybe we can share the effort somehow.

[solth]

As discussed this will be implemented in a first iteration as a button in the metadata editor that allows renaming image files corresponding to their current order while adding a configurable number of leading zeros.

In a further step this can be expanded to being applied to multiple processes using a Kitodo script, but that is out of scope of this issue.
