![]() to be a more complete workflow solution from capture to finished product. It's pretty sad that Adobe has seemed to take their eye off the ball from the original goal of Lightroom. This is a pretty basic request and should have been implemented long ago. Not that there is anything at all wrong with LR, it just seems that Adobe has little or no interest in making it useful to Photojournalists that need a very quick workflow, rather than a workflow focused on efficiently managing inventories.Įven the most effective plug-ins have not brought LR close to the abilities to quickly ingest, caption and send in Photomechanic. ![]() This one on setting them up to work together:Īnd something that is really helpful for doing selective ingest: There are some interesting tips in these videos: Thanks for your suggestion, but I have come to the conclusion that I am better off changing my workflow to start in Photomechanic - which does have the ability to import only locked pics - and then import into LR.Įven though I am adding a complete application to the workflow, things are actually significantly faster than they will ever be with LR. This procedure ends up with all the photos together by date, but the marked files have the keyword “locked.” I can then sort or organize those files as desired. I import all files into subfolders organized by date. Import the files from the TEMP READ ONLY folder into Lightroom the same way but use the import dialog settings to add some keyword such as “locked” to all of those files. Import the files from the TEMP folder into Lightroom using your normal import procedure.Ħ. Click on the Attribute column to sort by that column, select all the RA files, and move (not copy) them to the TEMP READ ONLY folder.ĥ. Unlocked files will show “A” in that column and locked files will show “RA.”Ĥ. Change Explorer to show the Details View, then right-click on the top bar and add a column to show Attributes. Copy all files from your camera card to the TEMP folder using Explorer.ģ. (The second folder should be next to the first, not inside it.)Ģ. Use Windows Explorer create a folder on your hard drive named TEMP and another folder named TEMP READ ONLY. ![]() Here is a workaround that allows me to do this in Windows:ġ. I import all files from my camera but mark those that are locked. Please feel free to contact me outside the forum for details or further discussion. But as I said, I'll be releasing OttoImporter in a week or so, which will have read-only handling features built-in, if you can wait. place strategically in a module, and you'd have just what you want. Photo:setRawMetadata( 'rating', 1 ) - see SDK/API doc for other options. to set read-only attribute of converted DNG. to determine if pre-converted raw file is read-onlyįso:makeReadOnly( file ) - e.g. Local file = photo:getRawMetadata( 'path' ) - to translate photo object to file pathįso:isReadOnly( file ) - e.g. In the mean time, if you do want to modify RC Importer to get you through the week, consider these lua tidbits: I'll make sure I respect the read-only attribute when converting to DNG - please standby. It will support extended importing functionality available for manual as well as auto-importing. I am in the process of re-doing RC Importer right now (code name: Otto Importer). often plugins are not as seamless as native, but where there's a will there's a way.Įither JB's Locktastic or ChangeManager's feature to select read-only files will allow you to distinguish the read-only files from the others, pre-DNG-conversion anyway (thanks for bringing that aspect to my attention).
