Rename and move photo's based on databse fields, avoid duplicates
« on: October 29, 2023, 08:00:39 am »
Hi, for a very long time I have been organizing my mp3 collection with the rename and move functionality. mp3's get renamed en sorted in album/artist folders automatically,with a unique name. Very handy

With my photos I want to do the same, but I run into a problem, because I have multiple photos belonging to f.i. 2003/USA/Party Uncle. I want to rename the photos, because they have been moved around a lot, with different naming conventions. Is there a way to avoid duplicate names in this scenario? Maybe there is an autonumber database field I can use? Ie. Photo 1, Photo 2 etc. Maybe unique numbers per folder or for the database?

Any ideas are welcome. The photos are already in the library for the most part.

The [CustomData()] expression function should work nicely for you here.
