{Type} variable
« on: July 10, 2012, 05:27:24 AM »
I wanted to use {type} as a variable to separate my ingested file types (like NEF, MOV etc). The output is MooV or NNEF. Funny enough exactly with that spelling. Same if I use that in the stationary pad.

I did NOT use that in V4.x. But Checking it right shows the same behavior.

Hi Eckart!

What camera has been used for the NEF?

I have tested the variable on a set of various NEF from different types of Nikon's.
All are producing the same NNEF as the result.
Strang...

The Canon CR2's report CCR2

So may be thats the "Standrad" for RAW images.
My JPGs report JPEG

Thanks, Steve for taking care immediately.

But it seems somehow "random". DNG becomes ADNG... ???

Eckart,

Look into the {mediatype} variable instead.  The {type} variable evaluates to the internal four character representation that Photo Mechanic uses for 'plugin' handling.  You can use Code Replacement with either variable to get your desired output.
