seaching a range of filename numbers ?
« on: April 02, 2021, 11:39:37 AM »
Hello - please is there a way to search for a range of filename numbers in PM+ eg;

all images from 14233455 to 14233989 ?

I've tried using the < and > symbols but wasn't able to make it work

Also, is it possible to copy and paste a list of filenames into PM+ to bring them all into 1 contact sheet swiftly ?

This is important as it is a nightmare to tidy things up after applying a metadata template if some images on a contact sheet are not listed in the code replacement file. Rather than leave them alone PM+ fills them with code over writing the existing metadata.

Thank you for your help, MarkW

Mark,

No.  There is no range searching.

Also, is it possible to copy and paste a list of filenames into PM+ to bring them all into 1 contact sheet swiftly ?

No, but it is possible to create a list of filenames in a text file and load it as a selection.  So as long as the contact sheet shows all of the images you're interested in working with (including more images that you don't want to work with) then once the file is loaded the images will be selected and you can work with them.

This is important as it is a nightmare to tidy things up after applying a metadata template if some images on a contact sheet are not listed in the code replacement file. Rather than leave them alone PM+ fills them with code over writing the existing metadata.

That sounds rather odd to me.  How does one get this to happen?
