filename clashes du to multiple cameras: an issue

[Emanuele Olivetti <emanuele relativita com>]

Hi,
I've got two canon cameras that use the same syntax for pictures' filenames.
Both use: "IMG_????.JPG"
Luckily until now there is no clash in f-spot but soon names will overlap.

Which is the right way to hadle this issue? Should I rename all files of
a given camera in a different way before importing?

How can I do this with the pictures already in f-spot without breaking
consistency of photos.db? (I mean something similar to massive renaming)

Camera 1 has some thousand pictures in f-spot and the oldest name is
something like IMG_1000.JPG ; camera 2 has just few hundreds pictures
in f-spot, from IMG_0001.JPG on.

Thanks in advance,

Emanuele
