entering extra information during preview

[ulrik]

I might have written about this before.

But it would be so nice if you could the possibility of adding more information during preview.

We can add stars (but only to 5), tags, and colours (8 or 9).

Couldnt we add so we at atleast could write a10 (Lionel Messi as an example). That could be done with 0-9 stars plus 0-9 colours and then one letter tag.

If there then were an opportunity to copy both crop and the above, we could speed up some workflows (which is why we have photo mechanic, of course) a bit.

Its for in game uploading which using less time means more to shoot.

Add short cuts for snapshots (as mentioned many places), we would be super fast. Automatic ingest, spacebar to open, crop and write a10, then a shot cut for upload using x snapshot, copy (data and/or crop), next. Adjust crop and then same again. Very fast.

Thanks.

Ulrik,

Where would you be writing this a10?  How would it be stored with the image?

Oh! I can see the problem. Cant store it in the XMP.

What about making entering keywords (or change it to something else) be a permanent part of preview window. Then I could enter a10, crop, and then copy the "a10" and crop, and it could be a relatively fast

Other related ideas:

1. Past crops to all photos under thumbnails. Then we just have to change crop or maybe some are very similar. Now we can only copy and past at preview window level. And maybe we can add a crop to all being ingested.

2. I use folder names for games and players. So a10 at the end of a folder, for example. So if there would shortcuts to moving photos to folders that could be interesting. And then being apple to see several folders under a tab would be useful but guess that is not possible (then one could upload photos from different folders a10, a01 etc....).

3. Automatic adding sequence at the end of "rename ingested photos" under ingest folder. If you want to use the filename to, for example, write a10, then it takes longer time if you either has to choose the area before sequence variable or add the sequence variable afterwards. It should be possible just to write a10 and press return to ingest.

4. Regarding ingest. A way to choose many more folders to ingest to. And of course, with a way to have a shortcut to a snapshot, we could change which folder it goes to by just using a shortcut.

But Im repeating myself! I will stop!

Have a nice week.
