Rating based ingest

[Max Lemesh]

During ingest we can import raw, raw + jpeg, jpeg, protected and unprotected only images.

I think we would greatly benefit from ability to also download all (already can), rated and not rated images only.
This could be done either simply by checking if rating is present (similar to protected tag) or allowing to pick which rating to download (1-5 stars)

I'm aware that this can be done via protected images already, but I don't see the reason not to have an option to filter by rating on ingest as well

It could be implemented.  But it would cause the initial scan of Ingest to take longer due to having to read the metadata of each image on the card prior to ingesting any of the images on the card.

Hi Max, I think you could use Hot Codes to ingest images to folders based on the rating you've set in the camera.

You could, of course, but that doesn't prevent every image on the card from being downloaded, which I'm sure is the main crux of this request.

This is probably similar to Protected tag, or does that one reads way faster?
Anyway having the ability to do it (even if it slows down the process a bit) is better than not having it.

There are ways around it, opening the card in PM, filtering rated images and then Ingest selected. Or just sorting all of the images on ingest.
But as Andrew said, the idea is having an easy switch like with "protected" in ingest and filtering unrated images at import stage, not sorting them into folders while copying the whole card

Yes, that's a fast operation that doesn't require opening up the file and parsing through the metadata.

Well, hopefully ratings filter wouldn't be too slow
