Auto reload Code Replacement file
« on: December 03, 2024, 08:32:06 AM »
I use Hot Codes extensively when shooting at sports competitions. It allows me to name files after an athlete and put their images into their named folder automatically. Sometimes I have an editor that is updating the Hot Codes file during the competition. If I or the editor forget to reload Code Replacements before an ingest, some files & folders do not get named correctly, adding to my work.

It would be fantastic if in Settings > Set Code Replacements there was a check box to select Auo Reload Code Replacements, similar to the File > Ingest > Auto Ingest option. 

With this feature, the CR file would be reloaded before every ingest.  I know that there is a shortcut to reload CR, but the shortcut is a combination of 4 keystrokes and just one step that can be forgotten during the pressure of a large competition.

I had asked for this about a while ago. I posted the request here as a reminder.  They sent me the pre-production code to test. Very, very happy that it is included in the update today.

We don't prioritize any one's ideas over anyone else's because of who they are. We prioritize them based on our ability to do them and how well they fit in with the product. Just because we haven't yet implemented an idea that you've proposed doesn't mean that we never will.

I know that. It just a funny coincidence that we asked for this feature for quite a while, but it gets done soon after Jeff asked for it

Max,

Jeff asked for this feature via a different channel more than a year ago.
