Here's a list of elements that can be incorporated into file and folder names: I can mix dates and custom text in a folder name, where Lightroom forces me to choose one of the other.

EXIFRENAMER FOLDER NAME SERIAL NUMBER

I can incorporate the camera model, and even serial number if desired, into folder or file names. For example, I can import into folders based on shooting date, not current computer date.

EXIFRENAMER FOLDER NAME PRO

DL Pro is capable of pulling a ton of data from the EXIF and using it in either the folder or file names.

The directory naming and file naming options are extremely limited compared to my preferred tool, Download Pro (from Breeze Systems). Lightroom is a great program, but there's one aspect of the program where I'm unwilling to give up my prior workflow, and that's copying files from a memory card to my hard disk. I didn't spot any major enhancements in the LR4 beta, so hopefully we get something sorted for a more flexible import dialog for LR5 or 6 - here's hoping! Having the ability to better customise the date structures would be a saviour also! I'm not exactly sure why it puts this sub-folder above the date folders but if we had the option to put this below the date folders I would be half way to a solution. Therefore a new set folder is created for each copy - perfect! Unfortunately, the 'Into subfolder' option on LR3 import dialog puts the sub-folder as a parent folder of the date folder structure which can also be selected in tandem.

EXIFRENAMER FOLDER NAME CODE

I use the 'job code' option mentioned in an earlier post to specify the 'model_name\set10' part of the path (as it allows folder breaks to be included in that job code) - it allows me to change the job code for every file copy, where I would increment just the set number part. I too use BreezeSys Downloader Pro to copy images, as it allows me to setup the folder path using a huge list of meta data variables. In my job, I shoot maybe 10 sets of images of one model in a day. I have used LR since the beginning as my primary tool (raw shooter before this even), and the import dialog has always been a bit of a disappointment due to lack of customization which would support my folder structure requirements. I agree wholeheartedly with the comments in the OP. * I should perhaps note that the other obvious alternative to Downloader is ImageIngester. But that's kind of complicated compared to Adobe just extending the current import naming options with a few more! I think I would need a pre-import action here to prompt for the job code and then take the list of files to be imported and massage them into the naming convention that I want. The suggestion you link to might be useful depending on how it is implemented. A purely LR flow would increase ease of use. Rob, what's wrong with my workaround? Solely that it requires a separate program* which makes it clunky. I'm also not sure that I can do the month date in "2011-06" format, but I expect I can with the necessary date format code. So using static custom text doesn't work, it needs to be a free text field that I can fill in every time and which the system will prompt me to complete if I forget. I want files called "d5100_1234.nef", not "Nikon D5100_1234.nef", can "s95_1234.cr2" not "Canon Powershot S95_1234.cr2".ī) The "job" code which goes to form the last directory name in the path.

(PS: Pictures are stored on Synology NAS I could run exiftool there, or go via my Windows PC.I'm not near the relevant computer at the moment, but from memory there are two parts that I definitely cannot do in LR3:Ī) The custom file name using only part of the full camera model name. I had found some posts closely related to this, but the extra difficulty of first getting the substring with the " - " delimiter proves a challenge.Īnyone care to be so kind to hep me out? Thanks!! write that string to the EXIF Description of all image files in the folder get the start of the description from the folder name, if there is any (I would think by locating " - " with an index function?) What I would like to do is, recursively on my whole Photo folder (of which the above would be direct subfolders):

Hence, some have just one date with a description, others a range of dates with a description, and some don't have a description at all. There is, however, not a completely rigid format for the folder name. Many of my folder names have a description for the photos they contain. Hi there! New to exiftool and the impressive array of functionalities it offers.
