Title: Auto-Import - Same folder, different rules
Post by: GrantDG on January 17, 2014, 05:58:51 pm

I have a folder on my drive which stores photos and videos taken by myself (basically all imported from my phone/camera).

I'd like to configure auto import as follows:
Folder: P:\
Type: Images

-and-

Folder: P:\
Type: Videos
Apply tag: Media Sub Type = Home Videos

If I set this up as above, and do a "Finish" on the auto-import dialog, the videos are not imported - and going back to the dialog, the second set-up is gone.

I'm assuming that the import cannot deal with two rules processing the same folder.

Does anyone know of a work around?

Use rules that contain expressions that test the Media Type:

ifelse(
   isequal([Media Type], Audio), do audio stuff here,
   isequal([Media Tyipe], Video), do video stuff here
)
