When I bracket shots, I frequently have problems in Lightroom's "sort by
capture time" in that it will get photos from the same bracket out of
order. This can be a nuisance when I'm trying to sort them out by
under/nominal/over exposure. I don't know whether this is a case of LR
using file creation date or the camera screwing up the date in the exif
file, or LR not reading the exif time to enough precision. I haven't
checked to see if it also happens in PEF or just DNG.
This is usually not a huge problem because I can often get by with sort
by filename, but it would be nice if there were an easy way to fix it.
Bonus lightroom question: In my camera I name files LRC#iiii, where
iiii is the internal camera counter and # gets incremented a digit every
time I click over 10,000 frames. When I roll over, I usually don't
notice until I'm working on the photos in lightroom.
When I import into lightroom the file format is Date-camera_file_name
for example 20150110-LRC79683.DNG
When I "roll over" my counter, I will get a few shots from the end of
the session showing up at the beginning of the session. Is there an
easy way, in lightroom, on a mac, to rename a group of files from
something like 20150110-LRC70013.DNG to 20150110-LRC80013?
I could write a bash script to do it, but that would undoubtably confuse
lightroom and I'd have to search for each file in the group. I can't
find any way to arbitrarily rename a file in lightroom.
