Ingest rename file to destination folder name.

[kulasdp]

Hello Guys.

My first post here. I just began using photo mechanic and I have one question.
I would like to rename my files on ingestion to the name of my destination folder.
Kind like Foldername_0001. I usually did that in capture one with folder name + 4 digit counter.
Is there a way to do this in photo mechanic ? Would be very useful to me.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Cheers.

Martin.

Sure, use {folder}_{frame4} as your renaming string.

No, you're right.  I have edited my original reply to correct the error.

I just tried that variable {folder}_{seqn} my files are named 100EOS1D_0307.cr2 instead of the folder name  {year4}{month0}{day0} BKW SMU vs UCF 1

Thanks

Romeo,

I just tried that variable {folder}_{seqn} my files are named 100EOS1D_0307.cr2 instead of the folder name  {year4}{month0}{day0} BKW SMU vs UCF 1

Then use "{year4}{month0}{day0} BKW SMU vs UCF 1" as your renaming string for your filenames.
