PSU not Ingesting images
Hello!
I have a strange problem - I am trying to import images from an SD card. When I select the appropriate images on the card and ask PSU to import them, it appears to fire off an activity that zips through the images and then a messages says the PSU did not ingest anything because the images are already in the catalog or on the disk. The images that I am trying to import are brand new images.
Anyone know what I could be goofing up?
Thanks much!

Re: PSU not Ingesting images
I tried copying the images to a folder on the computer and import from there. Same message and no imports.

Re: PSU not Ingesting images
Could you post the exact message, just in case it rings a bell? Btw, do you try to import the images via a profile?

Hi Vlad,
Thanks for your quick reply. No. I am not using a profile.
The message is: "Ingesting finished without results, likely these images are already in your catalog or they already exist on disk".
Any ideas?
Cheers!

Re: PSU not Ingesting images
Do you still get the same message if you try using a profile?
Re: PSU not Ingesting images
FYI, a couple of people reported a similar problem with importing, including the ways to fix it: http://forum.idimager.com/viewtopic.php?f=57&t=23332
Hope that helps.

Vlad - could you post the link again? It only leads to the general forum...
I have the exact same problem! Always being told images are already on disk or in the database ;-(
Thanks,
Frank

Re: PSU not Ingesting images
Sorry for the broken link, I have fixed it in the original post.

Hi Vlad,
I had already seen that post from Snowman1. Unfortunately it does NOT solve my problem.
The images are not ingested no matter what settings I use...

Re: PSU not Ingesting images
frank, maybe you can share screenshots of your profile showing all the settings that you've tweaked.

Re: PSU not Ingesting images
Frank, there's also a post from 'davidg', who stated: "importing failed due to incorrect folder naming syntax"; unfortuntaley, he didn't provide any details or example.

Hi Hert and Vlad,
my "normal" default import with all settings disabled works.
What I have been trying to get to work is an Import script that Hert kindly updated.
Hert tried it out. On his computer it does work, on mine it doesn't.
Here my first screenshot with my subfolder rule: Then the rename rule:
As applied in this screenshot:
Followed by an import script:
This is the script:
When I execute the import, a popup box first asks me for the prefix and the number that I want to use:
I add the number:

Code: Select all
// Construct a filname for IDI's downloader consisting of:
// - A user entered prefix
// - A sequential, zero-padded, 4-digit integer value
// - The original extension
// Used as a rename script, this will allow a "group" of common basenames to be
// renamed with the same integer value.
// Input: file237.jpg file237.nef file416.jpg file416.nef file602.jpg file602.nef

// <prefix>0002.jpg <prefix>0002.nef
// <prefix>0003.jpg <prefix>0003.nef
// Notes:
// - This script assumes the list of procesed filenames will be ordered
// such that like basenames are consecutively processed.
// - This script is designed to be used with the downloader pre-script
// "Download by Prefix", as it manages some of the registry keys used
// by this script.

Re: PSU not Ingesting images
...continued.
I add the number: and click OK.
Then I am told that ingesting did not work, supposedly the image files are either already in my catalog (they are not, else I would not try importing them) or on my hard drive (of course they are on the hard drive!)
No idea why this is not working.
Vlad - could I ask you to try it out? Hert reports that it is working on his system...
Thanks,
Frank

Re: PSU not Ingesting images
That is not the last version of the download script Frank. The button to retriever the number should not be there

Re: PSU not Ingesting images
Yes, I know, it is the one you used, though. And you sent me your screenshots that it was working!
I tried the last version too, the one where you removed the "number retrieval button" too. It gives me the exact same results. No difference...
[I am not quite sure, which one of the two I prefer actually, so, I have been trying both...]
Below the screenshot that this one too does not work on my system:
