Bug report--Multiple Camera Ingestion

[gusmahler]

Using II version 3.2.04 for Windows.

I have two directories from separate cameras that I previously ingested. I am re-ingesting to consecutively number the files in chronological order. I want the files to go in a directory titled by number range. But the result is a folder named with the first and last date of ingestion. (1005-1024).

Number range works fine when ingesting single files.

The log file is at http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dhh285sf_0cw8j5f3q

Number-range folders can be based on filename numbers or generated sequence numbers. If the former, the files must be in the same format as they were originally: 2nd 4 characters of the file name are the number. In your case, what I think is that you now have the date in that position.

Maybe auto numbers are what you want instead?

Thanks for the quick reply. I had taken photos of the same event on two different cameras. On one camera, they were numbered in thee 1400s, on the other in the 7000s.

I wanted the photos combined in date order and renumbered. I arbitrarily chose 8500 as the starting number. So all the photos were renumbered to, e.g. 20081024_8500.CR2 to 20081024_8633.CR2. I wanted the folder to be named 8500-8633. How would I set that up?

Once you've chosen auto numbers, you use the (@numberrange} macro at the end of your folder name.

This is also a choice on the drop-down menu. There are examples in the User's Manual.
