Some folks I know just get a thumbdrive (or CD!) of exported jpegs and expect the filename to not only tell them what they're looking at but also preserve the sequence. An increasingly small number, since everyone on social media knows about other ways to include info, organize by more than filename, ID people, and so on, but still. Not to mention their sidecars if you use RAW and so on.īut sometimes some people look ONLY to the filename for info. I am also interested if anyone would like to recommend a Python reference / example book.Ĭlick to expand.Yeah, I expect the limitations of storing info in filenames is one reason why the tools don't exist to automate their creation. A little disappointed with the Lynda experience, but it got me to base camp. I used the Lynda training site to get the basics of Python (and Tkinter for the GUI). I have been waiting for years for Adobe to add basic improvements to the import process, but after the Adobe 6.2 import disaster I gave up and did it myself.

Also, my mini app creates the folders required in a year/project structure, so all the heavy file handling is done before I import to Lr. Being able to filter (in a user friendly way) by date and/or file type was also a need. Also, I did not want a batch file o/s based script, as I wanted to have a preview of the expected results before I committed to the copy process.
ADOBE LIGHTROOM 6 FOR DUMMIES FOR MAC
I wanted a solution that works for Mac and Windows so that when I am in the field with my Mac I can use exactly the same workflow as at home on my Windows workstation.
