Hi,
I asked this in an earlier thread, but at the time DO9 was not out. With the new scripting in place, perhaps there is a way to do what I would like. Unfortunately my knowledge of programming is non existent so I am hoping someone here can assist me.
I do a lot of photo editing with my Canon 1d Mark II. It generates *.cr2 files. I also use a GPS data logger to log GPS points and Breeze Systems Downloader Pro 2.02 to match my pictures with GPS data points. As I shoot in RAW mode, it appends a *.xmp file to each picture. Now and then I use the camera to record a .wav file of something in the picture so I can remember it later on. Such as taking a pic of a band and recording up to 30 seconds of it playing.
Here is where things get complicated. Without the wav in place, renaming the cr2 and xmp is simple. It takes 2 steps (instead of the desired one, but it works).
- hide .cr2 files, and rename xmp
- hide xmp and rename cr2.
However, with the wav files sitting there, things get complicated because if i do a full rename, then i lose whatever pic the wav was associated with and ill never find it again. so what I am doing now is....
- rename cr2 and xmp up until and including the wav file #
- rename wav to the last #
- process the remaining cr2 and xmp files.
Again, relatively simple except:
- If i have multiple wav files in a batch, renaming tends to take a long time and is complicated
Is there a way to write a script that will use the same rename scheme to rename the .cr2 .wav and .xmp all at once? So i do not need to do this bouncing around when renaming? I know Breeze Browser can do it, because I used it in the past, but I rather not have to use 2 different programs when it seems with scripting, DO should now be able to handle something like this.
I understand that the naming convention most likely would need to be hard coded into the script. That is fine, so long as I can easily go into it and change it depending on what scheme i would need.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
