v2010.109     09/21/09     

Priority: Low     

v2010.109 includes the following:

    * FlashPipe can now transfer and develop photos and videos from multiple flash cards at the same time: just insert flash cards into empty slots and go!
    * Added the total amount of data (bytes) transferred to the status popup that displays after a transfer.
    * Added four preset "suggested settings" on the auto rename parameter dialog.
    * When manually developing photos using the "Develop" operation in the operations table, FlashPipe no longer responds "Nothing to do" even though there are raw photos in the selected folder.
    * Improved the automatic (subfolder) date generation so that the date is updated even if the computer (and FlashPipe) have not been restarted for days.

I'm noticing that my THM files are not being included with the CRWs. They do get copied when I set a rule for other files, but then they end up in the misc folder rather than with the raw files themselves.

Would it be possible to have a 'ping' (optional) when transfers are complete, like QImage when you are using manual job naming? I usually get on with other work when I'm uploading  8 gig cards, and it would let me know when the next card is due.
It would also be very useful for me if 'Raw' and 'Jpg' were added to the Operations>File Type menu, so that I can separate them in one operation.

I second that motion.!
Especially when Flash pipe is Developing a larger amount of shots to JPG, I need a PING, like Sean Connery sent to Alex Baldwin, in the movie Hunt for Red October.

I don't know... that's one line of code.  Might be too difficult to implement.  Cheesy

Hello.  I've purchased FlashPipe simply because it's a convenient way to rename my files and stick them in the folder I want.  However, my file naming system is based on the EXIF Image Captured data.  It looks like your file naming system is based on the Date/Time File Modified data.  Is there any way to have the option to base it on EXIF rather than MODIFIED?

Also, I name my RAW files differently than my JPEG files.  I merely use the same name as the JPEG file but follow it with _RAW.  That way when I work with the raw file and convert it to JPEG it'll be named slightly different then the image that was originally JPEG.  I'd like to see an auto-naming method that gives different options to JPEG, RAW, and VIDEO.

That's about all it would take for me to absolutely love the program.  Smiley

Wishing you well,

Long time QImage user,

Paul

Surely you can tell which is which from the file extension  Roll Eyes
That's what I do, or put jpeg's into a different folder.

Set the operations row to OTHER and press GO

Brian,
You can set that up in Edit Settings; Telling Flashpipe to put Raw in a folder called "RAW" or anything you like, and the Created JPGs or Developed JPGS go into a folder called, DEVELOPED or anything you like.
Jpgs that were created by you shooting Raw + JPG can be easily handled by one mouse click on the number of JPGS in the upper section, causing Flashpipe to bracket the number, and ignore the transfer.
Then you simply change the destination folder right on the front panel and click remove the brackets for the second click of GO
See brackets in screen snap.

It's still two operations - you have to press Go twice for each card. At the moment I'm loading one of our weddings from the weekend - two photographers, eight cards, 1662 raw and 1662 jpgs. One click per card would make a big difference  Grin

Brian,
Maybe I am missing something.
I just took my camera, set it for RAW + JPG, (It's still dark outside) and shot 6 shots with flash.
I have Settings set to place Raw in a separate sub-folder called RAW. See snap.
All the rest of the JPGs went into the folder that I named !!test 09-21.

So I have a new folder called !!test 9-21 with my JPGs and a sub folder called RAW containing only the RAW files.
This way it's only ONE press of GO, and one operation.

What did I miss?

Brian,
I was so sure that you knew about the EDIT SETTINGS  allowing you to separate the RAW from the jpgs from the card, that I mentioned an alternate method using bracketing.

The right way to do it is in my previous post.

Placing the raw files in a sub-folder  is not really an option with our workflow , as others have to view the files on a network and they are VERY set in their ways  Angry. At the moment I copy everything into one folder, sort by file type and move the jpgs - not a great inconvenience and probably easier than altering the settings each time. I may be just being lazy  Cheesy

Brian,
I remember when the automatic transmission arrived on the car scene.
Talk about set in their ways!!   
Few wanted to accept the easier way to do something that was ingrained; a clutch!
The object of that Auto Trans was to make driving easier and safer for many people who were learning to drive.
So is Flashpipe. It is showing an easier way to upload files from the mem cards, and one has to try it out with an open mind, instead of "I am used to the clutch, and I can't drive an automatic!"

Set the operations row to OTHER and press GO
That doesn't work setting it to other ignores the CRWs and just copies everything else. I end up with paired files in different directories. I can set the path for other files to "Raw" and have it put them in the same place, but I end up with a few extra meta files and it's not really the right way of doing it and definitely not the most elegant way.
