Re: Counting pictures with the *istD

[Alan P. Hayes]

I've used  a $20 OSX program called Cameraid for this. It's a very 
simple image browser and has a nice batch function as well. It allows 
extremely flexible renaming of files from the EXIF data. This makes 
it relatively easy to come up with unique and meaningful file names. 
I name each file based on the year-month-day-hr-min with consecutive 
letter suffixes for pix taken during the same minute. The only 
trouble is that it doesn't do RAW files, just tiff and jpeg.

 I use a program called downloader pro from Breeze Systems - the same
 ones who do Breeze Browser (which I also use).  It automatically
 renames pictures when downloaded from the camera.  I have it set to
 prompt me for a job code each time I start it which can be anything
 that can be a filename on the PC and have the 4 digit code from the
 original name appended to the end, but you can have it add the date,
 time etc.  This will work for me for a while until I start shooting in
 the same location several times and end up with colliding image
 numbers.  It also lets me keep images from both my *istD's grouped
 together if I use both at the same location - image numbers on the
 cameras are currently about 5000 apart.
Looks good, but I am on a Mac OSX
thanks
