Renaming files with Frame number from EXIF

Permanently deleted user
Hello,

new user here (I come from LR6 perpetual — wonder why 🤬 ).

I slowly getting the hang of the software, but there is one thing I don't find.

When I import images into LR I change the name (YYYYMMDD_model_Framenr.ext), however I don't find a way to add the frame-nummer in C1, only the original filename. I don't see it in the EXIF in C1 either (although it shows up in Photomechanic). Am I missing something here? Or is this not implemented (yet)?

thanks!

    I don't think there is a Frame_Number in the exif data (at least I couldn't find one).

    What you can do is add the counter to the image name, it increments one for every image.

    Frame number is related to what?

    Video?

    Or perhaps some of the recent special camera modes for HDR or similar? I think perhaps some recent Phase backs might be supported for similar multiframe shots but not all cameras.

    Or are you writing about some other feature?

    Hey Eric,

    yes, you're right — I don't see the frame number in EXIFtool, seems PhotoMechanic get's it from the filename itself,
    as does Lightroom I suppose.

    Still, a pity that we just can't use the number with Batch Rename instead of the whole filename (eg 4556 instead of DSCF4556). I do a S&R now on "DSCF".

    thanks!
