Extract only the image number from Image Name (file naming)
I'm exploring moving everything out of Lightroom and into COP 10. I'm trying to setup my workflow and typical import practices and am stuck on the one likely very obvious thing that I'm not seeing.
When I import images, I've always had renaming done in the following format:
YYYYMMDD - Camera Serial Number - A####.cr2
...where #### corresponds to the 4 digits my Canon cameras assign consecutively to each image taken. For example, given the camera's file name of "IMG_8894.CR2", #### would correspond to 8894.
I can't figure out how to do this in COP. In Lightroom, I was able to pick "Filename number suffix". In COP, I see "File Name", but that refers to the entire name, not just the numbers.
Is there a token I can use in COP that would refer only to that number?

Check out the Import panel. Half way down the left side is a Naming tab with lots of choices. Click on the choices you want, add your own punctuation to separate them. As always, use a small sample to test. Hope this helps. 0 -
That's what I've done. As noted, I don't see an option for the numbers in the cameras filename. Am I missing it? What's the token called for it? 0 -
I don't think you can do this on import. But what you can do is rename the files after import. So you would get them named on import as YYYYMMDD - Camera Serial Number - IMG_####.cr2 using the tokens for date, camera serial no and file name, as before. Then you can use batch rename to rename them as YYYYMMDD - Camera Serial Number - ####. The batch rename tool is on the File menu. One of the options is find and replace (the other is using tokens). You could find IMG_ and replace it with nothing. (I've just tried a similar thing on files in my session trash folder and successfully renamed a batch of images with names like 17-04-18-0023.ARW to 17-April-18-0023.ARW by replacing -04- with -April- )

Depending on your camera make/model, you may be able to successfully utilize the Camera Counter token for this purpose. 0
