Posted: Fri Mar 30, 2007 12:25 pm Post subject: Folder Counter for RoboImport |
|
|
I want to keep a folder counter (and not a global counter) for autonumbering the files.
I want to use the following file naming convention:
YYYY\MM\YYYY-MM-DD\YYYYMMDD_####.jpg
The numbering (####) should start with 0001 in each folder and increment by 1 for each new file.
When I copy files for a second time to the same folder, the numbering should start with the highest number already in the folder incremented by one.
For example, when I copy files for the first time, the filenames should be 20070330_0001 ... 20070330_0005
When I copy some other files to the same folder some other time, the filenames should be 20070330_0006 ... 20070330_00xx.
Any ideas how to do this without manually setting the global counter each time?
Maybe something for a future version of RoboImport. |

Thanks for the post. Unfortunatelly current version of RoboImport doesn't provide autocorrecting global counter otherwise as manulally setting up.
Another solution for this problem is using another naming scheme (take a look at Selecting the Best File Naming Scheme RoboImport help page:
