Live Ingesting RAW and JPG: Copy JPG only to secondary folder

[edbeck]

Scenario:

I'm photographing tethered and am saving both RAW and JPG files from the camera.  I'm importing them through Lightroom which places them both into the same folder.

How can I configure Photo Mechanic to copy only the JPG to another folder?

Thanks,

Ed

It is not possible to configure LiveIngest to copy JPEGs to a different folder than the rest of the files.

No.  I see no option to only ingest JPEG files.

Would this be possible to implement as a feature request?

This is when having CD and SD card slots comes in most handy!  Raw to CF and jpeg to SD.

Marc,

This sort of "selective ingest" is on our radar. We do recognize how it could be useful in some scenarios.   In the meantime, I find it more efficient (and faster) just getting the whole card ingested and then start using Move to start sending different files to the folder where they need to go.  It gets to be a pain dealing with partially ingested memory cards.   But yes, we do know there can be cases where this is useful. Thanks. :-)
