Title: Develop on import, 0/0 photos transfered
Post by: nbagno on August 02, 2010, 03:39:54 AM
Why won't this work? If I select the operation "copy" the photos will be copied. If I select the operation "develop" nothing is copied and developed. (http://www.nedbagno.com/photos/955388151_vJD9G-X3.jpg)

The tick boxes on that front screen are for creating an Album and what goes into it.
You need to set up Edit-Preferences, something like attached below.

Thanks.

But my problem still exists.  Attached is the setting screen, from my understanding it should:

Copy images from J
Put the raw images on the desktop/test in a folder named RAW
Develop images in put in a folder called desktop/raw/developed/YYYY-MM-DD

I was able to get this to work by first creating a line in flash pipe to copy, then the second line was the develop line. Is this the way it should be done?

It should not be necessary.
I think the proble you had with your original set up was that you had "Develop" instead of "Copy" in the operations line.
I have a few images to copy from a card now so will check it out & report back.

That is correct. You must have Copy as the operation and only one line is required.

I'm not sure why Develop does not work, it's the same with stand-alone FlashPipe. We need Mike to answer that one.

I thought this was in the help but apparently not.  "Develop" is a special operation that will develop photos in the folder of your choice: it ignores the top.  So in your screen shot, "Develop", "Raw Photos" in "C:\Users\nbagno\Desktop\test" means that it will try to develop all the raws in the C:\Users\nbagno\Desktop\test folder.  The top is ignored because you aren't asking it to copy or move any files.  The proper way to get it to copy and develop raws is to change the operation to "Copy" or "Move" instead of "Develop" and then under "Edit", "Settings", have the "Develop raw photos after they are copied/moved" box checked.

Regards,
Mike

Maybe a fail safe warning would be helpful when that is selected; it fooled an old hand like me  :-[
