Rename images during ingest
« on: July 18, 2008, 12:08:26 PM »
I did it before, by accident, but now on reinstalling 4.5.3.1 I can't repeat the "accident."  All I want to do is replace the camera assigned file name with the date the picture was shot followed by a 3 digit number that I can reset.  I know this is easy but I really couldn't figure it out from the instructions in the help area nor by a search of the forum...must be obvious.
Thx//Del

Del,

I did it before, by accident, but now on reinstalling 4.5.3.1 I can't repeat the "accident."  All I want to do is replace the camera assigned file name with the date the picture was shot followed by a 3 digit number that I can reset.  I know this is easy but I really couldn't figure it out from the instructions in the help area nor by a search of the forum...must be obvious.

Use this as the renaming string:

{datesort}_{seqn}

and Set the sequence number as 001 to start.

The underscore can be omitted if you don't want it.

HTH,

-Kirk

Kirk,
Thx.  It still took some rebeginner steps to even know to enter the braces and the term in the rename box; I first tried entering the info after opening the set sequence variable area.
Thx again,
