[... Command line guff ...] Lightroom can do all of that so it is an inefficient use of your time to do it with command lines. You can still do that if you want to, and Import into LR while keeping the files under that same structure, but getting LR to do it for you is essentially free - it's all on the Import dialog. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
