I've been re-organizing my image archive across numerous hard-drives/ computers... long story short, I didn't start my photographer-journey very organized and now feeling the consequences! There's a few things I'm attempting to do simultaneously as I re-organize and consolidate:
Rename files
Apply (new/updated) IPTC Metadata
Copy/Move files into new locations
I've figured out how to do that all in one go and now looking for ways to maximize my time. I then noticed something interesting: Why is PM able to do these 3 powerful things upon ingesting a new SD card as a background operation, freeing me up to browse files/ tag/ etc. but when I want to do these things to existing batches of files on my hard drive, the command becomes a foreground operation - one that prevents me from doing anything else? I cannot browse other folders/ do anything else like I would be able to do if I were ingesting a new SD card.
Are there any settings I could change or suggestions you have? (other than... you should have been organized from the start)
Running PM 6 on Windows 10 Intel 7/64bit
Thanks!
