Token "Project Name" in Catalog missing?

Manuel Huettl
Hi there,

I am missing a Token for the "project name" when using a Catalog.
Does anyone know the name of the token?

I would like to do the following:
- In my Catalog I have set up different Projects (formerly Session which I then imported to the Catalog)
- for my Export I would like to have a folder structure like this: CatalogName/ProjectName/ImageName

The token for the CatalogName is "Document Name"
The token for the ImageName is "Image Name"
The token for the ProjectName is... ???

kind regards´
Manuel

    There isn't a "Project Name" token, though the "Collection Name" token will return the collection in which you're viewing the images to process.

    "Collection Name" is missing in my Token box. Do you know where to find it? I just downloaded the new version CP One 10.2.

    Hey there,

    for me "Collection Name" is available in my Token-Box (C1P 10.2). You can find it in the group "general".

    Unfortunately the "Collection Name" is of no use for my use-case, because the collection Name refers to the actual "album" or "smart album" and not to the Project.

    Usecase 1:
    I want to export all 5 star images from several projects. I would choose "all images" from catalog collection and then filter to 5 stars.
    With the "Collection Name" token the Export would look something like this: All_Images/Image1...
    With a "Project Name" token the Export could look like this:
    - Project_A/Image1...
    - Project_B/Image5...

    Usecase2:
    My Project-Names may be California, Canada, Alaska and the Albums within the Project may be "Day1, Day2, Day3".
    If I then choose to Export all Images from Day1, I want to have the Project-Name Info somewhere in the Export to not loose the context of the Project.
    With the "Collection Name" token the Export would look something like this: Day1/Image1...
    With a "Project Name" token the Export could look like this:
    - California/Day1/Image1...
    - Canada/Day1/Image5...

    is there any workaround to achieve this?

    kind regards
    Manuel

    Anyone having an Idea? Maybe a workaround?

    Is there a token for a group? I then could put every project in its own group.

    The Collection Name will also pick up the Project name if you have that user collection selected when sending the images to process. You'd have to select the individual projects and add the files to the queue from there, but it's doable.

    That being said, the Project/Group/Album/Etc tokens could be useful. Please submit a formal feature request via the link my profile so we can judge the demand properly.

    Hey Ben,

    thanks for the hint. Going through the projects ist definitely doable. However it is not working if I just select the project (on top level)... as C1 does not show the images unless I select a specific Album (e.g. "All Images") within that project. If I do select the Album then the token picks up the Album name ("All Images") and not the project name.

    Is there an Option to select the Project and make C1 show all images within this project?

    kind regards
    Manuel

    PS: I just submitted a feature request (support case), because the Token for the Project Name could be useful and should not be hard to implement.
