Photo Supreme

Since the last update I have been getting an information message box with 'Access Violation (0)' when exiting from full screen preview (pressing Esc). If I click the OK box then it goes away and things return to normal. If I hit 'Enter' however, PS shutsdown immediately.
This is happening on both my ...

I use Lightroom 4.4 and always use the following settings when converting to DNG 'Use ACR 7.1 or later' & 'Embed fast load data'. No problems with viewing these DNG's in PSu.

Hert,

Yes I understand that Tom's solution is a 'workaround' and that I will need to remember the offset each time. My point was that the 'workaround' works and renames the files correctly.
I have a bruise on my forehead from banging my head against the wall as 'continuous' did not do what it said ...

Ian,

Sorry this is causing you so much trouble. I would try removing the continuous parameter and see if that fixes the (nnn) issue. I think I had trouble getting continuous to work in the past. I usually don't use it.

The offset parameter is simply "offset = n" inside the braces. Try this to see ...

Mike,
I have tried the following:

1. Test-%0001{length=4;continuous}.%FileExtension . Result = "Test-0001{length=4;continuous}.dng" "Test-0001{length=4;continuous}(001).dng" "Test-0001{length=4;continuous}(002).dng" etc. I now understand why this does not work.

2. Test-%ImageNumber{length=4 ...

Hi Michael,
Yes I understand why the (nnn) appears. I still have IDimager v5 so will install it again and re-build the rename macro that I used there and copy it over, see if it works. The batch processor in IDi v5 was much easier to understand and use.
Many thanks for your help so far.

I am now completely and utterly confused! :cry: Why does the simple task of renaming files have to be so convoluted? I'm sorry but I am not a programmer of any description.
The closest I got to achieving my goal was "Test-0001.dng" "Test-0001(001).dng" "Test-0001(002).dng" etc. Where do I insert the ...

Thanks Michael, I'll give that a whirl.

Hert,,

I am obviously doing something wrong! I copied & pasted %FileName-%ImageNumber{length=4;continuous}.%FileExtension into the Batch Rename Text box. As a test I did the following:
1. Selected 5 photos.
2. In the Batch Rename Text box edited the script to read "%Test-%0001{length=4;continuous ...

I'm sorry but I just cannot figure this out! Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I want to rename a a batch of files with a running sequence number. For example; batch of files are named "Trees-0001.dng" to "Trees-0100.dng" and i want to rename them "Flowers-0001.dng" to "Flowers-0100.dng". Also ...

Ctrl-Shift-v, umm...welcome, where have you been hiding then
On a more serious note, are there any other undocumented short cuts? And can the "shortcut sticky" please be updated.

Both methods given above work but are rather "clunky". I will stick to the method I was using - catalog set to Portfolio view, use the search bar to find the images required, select them and drag and drop into the relevant Collection.

Thank you! I should have found that!! Sometimes the eyes just don't see

Probably a very silly question but how do I Compact the DB? I can find no option to do so, or does "Tools>Cleanup unused thumbs and previews" compact as well?

What is a simple way to add photos to a portfolio? - when switching to Portfolio view all photos disappear so "cannot drag and drop".
