Renaming Issue on Ingest with variables
« on: April 12, 2012, 10:22:52 AM »
Hey curt and all,
I am having an issue since i moved to a new mac. Running 4.6.8 on a 10.7.3 machine. Every time I ingest a card or multiple cards and i have my rename function set to 0month-0day-00year as variables i get the date 01292011 on ALL of my images. Am i missing something somewhere? been using the same workflow for years in the same setting. I did have some issues with my computer where permissions on my user were all messed up and preferences were not storing, but last week i went to a new user and still having the issues on ingest. Any thoughts on how to test to see what is causing this?
thanks,
Jon

I guess you meant to say you have your rename set to {month0}-{day0}-{year4} and that your files get renamed to 01-29-2011?

The only reasons I can think of why this is is when your images were in fact taken on that date or when they don't have the capture date info embedded any longer and where eg modified on that date.

Hope this explains it…
