Ingest of selected photos only

(1/5) > >>

Hello,

I'd like to suggest to add a possibility to ingest only the selected photos instead of either a disk or a folder.

Often I shoot more than one theme in a day, e.g. an event followed by some landscape pictures. In Photo mechanic, when I ingest pictures, I make extensive use of the variables for file (re)naming. This causes problems in case only entire disks/folders can be ingested as it doesn't allow for differentiation in file naming.

Thanks!

This is an often-requested feature that we call "Ingest from Selection" which has not been implemented yet.  I do not have any guidance on when the feature will be implemented.

Hi, Kirk,
I also think that would be a great new feature!
Hope to see it soon.

Luiz, Until this feature gets implemented you can use the very much existing feature to select your photos in camera during/after your shoot with the protect photos option and only ingest the protected photos during ingest. This way you get only your selected photos downloaded.

How do you access the Protect Photo function?

Thanks
