FR: make $(MAKER) and $(MODEL) available at import time.

[badkernel]

Hello

Came across this minor issue with darktable 3.8 variables on MacOS 12.2.1 when importing images where $(MAKER) and $(MODEL) and not assigned.

I'm using following variables when importing images to external SSD: $(EXIF_DAY)-$(EXIF_HOUR)$(EXIF_MINUTE)$(EXIF_SECOND)-$(EXIF_MONTH)-$(EXIF_YEAR)-$(MAKER)-$(MODEL).$(FILE_EXTENSION)

File name result looks like this: 17-.21_53_51-02-2022--.JPG (nothing between last two hyphen)

Expected result: 17-.21_53_51-02-2022-Fujifilm-X-pro1.JPG

I can see details in image information module but they are "skipped" when importing darktable_imagemodule_screenshot

As far as I know only date time are the only exif information available at import time. This said this is a feature which could be added.

Thank you for responding to this post. In manual for Darktable 3.8 there are variables that I mentioned in my question so I assumed that these can be used when importing.

@phweyland how do I go about requesting this to be added in next version of Darktable ?

See the import doc.
