Ability to ingest files as "lower case" only & ingest file structure

[Willow]

Hi Kirk - thanks for you continued support whilst I wade through your programs and manual.  I cannot seem to work this out.

1.  Can you ingest files only in lower case??  It seems to always default to title case.
2.  How can I develop a ingest string procedure to place files like this

A folder is crested under the year (say 2007)
Within this folder is another folder named by the date the images were taken (say 18 November, 2007)
Then, the files are located in the folder as per their shooting date.

So, the structure looks like;

2007/18 November, 2007/ files (taken on that date)
2007/04 November 2007/ files (taken on that date), and so on.....

I have worked out the actual file name restructure (0145_04_Nov_2007_Canon 5D).

I am attempting to duplicate the folder structure/naming procedure that I have used successfully with Breezebrowser for many years.

Thank you.....Iain

Iain,

1.  Can you ingest files only in lower case??  It seems to always default to title case.

Ingest just uses the filenames from the source location.  If you want to lowercase your filenames, then you'll have to rename them.  This renaming string should do the trick:

{filenamebase:lc}

2007/18 November, 2007/ files (taken on that date)
2007/04 November 2007/ files (taken on that date), and so on.....

Put this in the folder name field:

{year4}/{day0} {monthname} {year4}

HTH,

Thank Kirk - don't you guys sleep - such fast replies.  Thank you.

Seems that PM will do what I require.

I will order when my demo runs out.

BTW, it would be good to have options such as "lower case" in the ingest set up panel.  This is in addition to also having apply/remove sharpening from the sideshow and edit windows using a key shortcut.  Thanks again...Iain
