Ingest RAW and JPG into separate folders
« on: March 21, 2025, 06:05:39 PM »
As the subject states. I would love a feature where on Ingest RAWs went into one folder and JPGs into another.

yeah, some sort of variable like {mtyp} but for raw and non raw images would be awesome.
There is also {type}, but that will place all the different raws from different cameras separately.

I hadn't thought of {type} putting raw files into separate folders. I just did a quick test and my Nikon raw file was NNEF. Good point.

then you can sort them with code replacements, but based on type

Code: [Select]
// Hot codes for forting files by extension
// extensions are case sensitive
//
//
//== {type}


//## filetype
JPEG JPEG


SARW RAW
CCR3 RAW
FRAF RAW
ADNG RAW


MPG4 RAW VIDEO



//?? OTHER

I admit I'm piggybacking here and I'll start a new feature request if necessary though I do think what I'm asking is an extension of this.

I would like a way - assuming it doesn't already exist - to filter file ingest to secondary destination.  Specifically, I'd like to never ingest jpg to secondary and only my raw files.  On the road I'd rather not use space of USB-SSD and at home office they are only going to a backup on the LAN just in case.  (I don't have a mirror to my LAN though I should.)  And when the LAN mirrors to offsite, I don't want to pay for jpg space.

Along the lines of this request, I'd like to be able to RAW into one folder and JPG to a different folder on primary destination and then only RAW into second destination.

Appreciate the work you put in.

Max, that is a great idea. Using Hot Codes in that way is smart.
