Injest and create subfolders from time stamp?

[BruceBanner]

I'm currently trialing PM. I am a professional photographer and my shoots run into the thousands of snaps per job. I currently use LR and the very handy 'Stack based on Auto Capture Time' whereby I can restrict that to generating a stack of 1 second or less, and thus allows me to see my work more in burst format than every shot laid out. It more accurately reflects what actually happened during the shoot, how many times I raised my camera up to my to capture a moment etc.
I find this very useful for a first cull pass.

I realise PM doesn't have anything like this, but is it even possible to Injest the contents from the SD card, and somehow get it to create separate folders for the images based on files that all fall within a second of each other? I realise that a 5000 image shoot could end up with a lot of folders (if I were to Auto stack based on a Capture time in LR for the last event, it reduced 5000 thumbnails to 1000 or so).

Still, I'd be curious to know what that might look like on PM, peering into some folders with 20-30 images, some only 1 or 2 etc. It might be a kind of manual version of stacking?

Anyway, basically looking for stacking solutions on PM, if there is a better way please lemme know.

Cheers,

yeah, I did something similar few weeks ago when photographer would come every hour to drop images and auto ingest would put them into

Code: [Select]

/{nowhour24} subfolder.

In my case I needed the time stamp of WHEN he dropped them off to me.. in your case you could make subfolder every 10 seconds with

Code: [Select]

{hour24}{minute}{second:-2,1}, or for every second with

Code: [Select]

{hour24}{minute}{second}
