from the appearance of his post, he is using a linux system, not windows and he would want something like: $(FILE_FOLDER)/DrkTbl/$(FILE_NAME) "$(FILE_FOLDER)" being where the original images reside. look at the definitions in the fine manual. https://www.darktable.org/usermanual/en/export_selected.html base directory naming pattern: $(PICTURES_FOLDER)/DrkTbl subdirectory naming pattern: $(YEAR)$(MONTH)$(DAY)_$(JOBCODE) file naming pattern: $(YEAR)$(MONTH)$(DAY)_$(SEQUENCE).$(FILE_EXTENSION) above is three lines, will probably wrap in your client. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode ____________________________________________________________________________ darktable user mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to [email protected]
