Can C1 do that?

Jens_A
hi all, I'm new here, using the latest Trial version on Windows 10 to see whether I should stay here or move back to LR 6 (non-cloud)
I have a bunch of Nikon RAW files from D70s to D600. And a freshly acquired Lumix LX100 (awesome piece!) where I also shoot RAW.

A couple of things seem obviously missing in C1 - or I just haven't found them yet?

Metadata

  • show full-frame equivalent focal length

  • show lens name/type

Metadata on thumbnails
  • generally show more/configurable details on the thumbnails like LR does

Export
  • just overwrite already existing files in output folder when re-processing? Currently every re-process creates a new file with added counter, that output folder becomes messy quite fast

  • can I define output paths pointing to the network (NAS) - based on smart folders? I guess I could do that from an all-encompassing catalog, currently working with sessions?


Probably more to come …


Regards
Jens

    show full-frame equivalent focal length - Nope
    show lens name/type - Yes, in the Metadata tool, Lens Correction tool, or the focal length at the bottom of the main Viewer

    No metadata on thumbnails, outside of ratings/color tags (via View > Browser Labels > Status mode

    just overwrite already existing files in output folder when re-processing? Currently every re-process creates a new file with added counter, that output folder becomes messy quite fast - No, it will not overwrite existing files.

    can I define output paths pointing to the network (NAS) - based on smart folders? I guess I could do that from an all-encompassing catalog, currently working with sessions? - Can you clarify what you mean by smart folders? You can define a dynamically updated output path with tokens and subfolders, and pointing to a NAS as a root would be no issue.

    .....

    For JPEG images from Panasonic cameras, C1 does not show the lens name.

    I have been asking for this to be fixed since 2016, the supporter says "oh yes, that's a problem" the ticket is closed and nothing is done. I have 3 closed tickets against this issue.

    It's a pain, but it doesn't. Luminar just released an update today that gives the option to overwrite, just like LR. This really needs to happen.
    But I wouldn't let this put you off C1, it more than makes up for this in other areas!

    I keep my parallel output folders in order via Python script that leaves the file with largest number and removes earlier ones and the number from the file name. Launched via snippet of AppleScript in scripts folder (see Scripts menu). Only goes one level deep and manages to handle some cases of space and number in the original file name. See below if they are of any use to you. I'd replace the remove and rename with print and do a test run, myself.


    #!/usr/bin/python

    import sys
    import os

    if len(sys.argv) == 2:
    os.chdir(sys.argv[1])

    extension = u".jpg"
    main_level = os.listdir(u".")
    for file in main_level:
    if file == "iPod Photo Cache" or not os.path.isdir(file):
    continue
    os.chdir(file)
    images = os.listdir(u".")
    groups = {}
    for name in images:
    if not name.endswith(extension):
    continue
    head, part, suffix = name.rpartition(u".")
    key, part, index = head.rpartition(u" ")
    if len(key) == 0:
    key = index
    index = ""
    if "-" in index:
    key = key + " " + index
    index = ""
    num = int(index) if len(index) else None
    if not key in groups:
    groups[key] = []
    groups[key].append(num)
    for key, items in groups.iteritems():
    if len(items) == 1:
    continue
    keeper = max(items)
    for index in items:
    if index != keeper:
    os.remove(key + ((u" " + str(index)) if index is not None else u"") + extension)
    src = key + u" " + str(keeper) + extension
    dst = key + extension
    os.rename(src, dst)
    print(src + u" -> " + dst)
    os.chdir("..")


    And the script to launch the above one with picture directory as argument:

    on run argv
    do shell script "/location/of/replaceWithLatest.py /path/to/pictures/root"
    end run
