Hello everyone,
I just discovered Rapid Photo Downloader, and I'm trying to fit in my 
photographic workflow, possibly replacing my cli scripts!

I've installed version 0.8.0a4 on Ubuntu 16.04 following instructions 
found here: http://www.damonlynch.net/rapid/download.html

Here's what I'd like to do:
- Import photos from a path, say /foo/bar/, to a subdir of my 
collection located at ~/Pictures/Library/, say 2016-10-07 (I'd like to 
use the import date)
- Each imported photo should be renamed like this: 2016-10-07 16:30 
Camera Maker_ Camera Model.jpg (here I'd like to use capture date and 
time)

I got the first step right, but can't find a way to tell the software 
about my custom file name.
When I click on "Rename" on the right side bar, nothing happens (the 
side bar tab only change its appearance). I got the same behaviour when 
I click on the other sidebar buttons. Only the "Destination" one seems 
to work, toggling the destination path tree.

Am I missing something? How do I tell the app to rename my files 
following my pattern?

I've looked also at rapid-photo-downloader --help, but couldn't find 
helpful hints to setup renaming patterns.

thanks in advance,
gerlos
