Columns for photographs

Post by rlkufrin »

I have thousands of jpgs. I sort and manage them using EXIF fields. In particular I use the Make, Model and Copyright fields to organize who took the pictures. Is there any way to create custom columns that include those fields. I want to move the pictures into different directories based on who took the picture (copyright) and then name them including the type of camera.

type ::snippet; into the addressbar and press ENTER.
First, for Camera Model CustomColumn copy-paste the following code:

Code: Select all

Snip: CustomColumn 1

Do the same again for the following Copyright CustomColumn:

Code: Select all

Snip: CustomColumn 1

You can do these manually too. Create a custom Column definition with type "Property" and choose Camera Model/copyright from the property list (click the pencil icon).

I trust you know how to show CustomColumns -- you just right click the column header in list view, select New Column, right the new column header, select Custom Column, and then select the need column definition from the list.

Running this through the address bar should do it all in one go:

Code: Select all

setcolumns("Name,Ext,:n-30,:n-25,:s-image.datetaken,Size,Created,Modified");
However, the numbers "30" and "25" might differ in your system. If yes, ask what to do next.
