Ingest Filter - Copy (Un)Rated Photos Only
« on: April 05, 2012, 05:21:26 PM »
Now with the 5D3 offering star ratings directly from the back of the camera, it would be great to be able to ingest only the rated photos.  Thanks for reading!

I guess one problem with that would be, that in order to ingest only star rated, each photo on the card must be read in full anyway (because the star rating is embedded in the file, unlike the "lock" attribute which is a read-only file attribute and is much much faster to look up from the filesystem). So there would be probably no increase in ingest speed over ingesting the whole lot and sorting later...If I am mistaken, I am sure CB staff will correct me :)

Hmm, interesting, I had no idea that might be the case.
