Renaming expression does not work with Win 7 Pro x64
« on: July 20, 2011, 09:10:40 AM »
Hello,

My expression for renaming video files at ingest works fine with Win 7 x86 and Win XP, but not with Win 7 Pro x64.  I use PM 4.6.7.

The renaming expression is:

Folder Name:
{todayyear4}{todaymonth0}{todayday0}\={model}{type}{aspect:0,3}#1=\{datesort}

Rename Ingested Photos as:
{year4}-{month0}-{day0} ={model}{type}{aspect:0,3}#2=_{frame4}

The Code Replacement file I use can be found in the attached "Camera model mapping.txt"

The part between the equal signs, {model}{type}{aspect:0,3}, is my way to circumvent the problem with the lack of EXIF/camera data in the video files. It is tailored to the cameras I have. For my D90 video files the expression would read WAVI1.5, which would be translated by code replacement to D90v for the folder holding the video files, and to D90 for the camera model in the file names.

In Win 7 Pro x64 I get =PRXY1.5#1= instead of D90v for the folder holding the video files, and the video files themselves have not been renamed. Another difference compared to how it worked before is that there are no .XIP files.

Any idea regarding the cause of this?

Regards,
Karl
 
PS.: If I use {mediatype} instead of {type}, I get =unknown1.5= instead of =PRXY1.5=.

You likely need to install QuickTime on your Win 7 Pro x64 system.  Then it should work identically.

Thank you, Kirk! That was quick! Now it works as it should again.
