Configurable default action for folder names

Post by G8DHE »

Many editors make use of additional folders with specific names to hold editor/version information on changes made to images.
When Importing or Verifying file structures these folders usually have to be individually manually altered for some other default (No Action / Ignore).
Would it be possible to add to Preferences a list of such folder names with the preferred default rather than the standard default action ?
Typically I have two that frequently get scanned and need to be manually altered before Verifying etc.;
Paint Shop Pro - "Corel Auto-Preserve"
Nikon NX-D = "NKSC-PARAM"

Please login to Mantis and +1 there. Hert is looking at those votes to determine whether to include the request in PSU.

I tried, but I have trouble logging in to mantis or even create a new account. It promises to send emails, but they never arrive in my mailbox. What to do?

Excellent news! Not sure what criteria Hert has for new features but maybe we are getting close :-)

Just realised its still under Version 5 heading, but hopefully Hert does bring these things forward!

Save attached file in your AppData folder to have the default action for a folder named NKSC-PARAM to be "No Action".

If you don't know what your AppData folder is then run this little script in the Tools -> Scripter:

Code: Select all

Say(DefaultAppDataDir);

Yea! Thank you Hert :-)
Mind you nearly caught me as the folder name was NKSC_PARAM not NKSC-PARAM but that was my mistake in the first post!

Great.
BTW, the name can be masked; e.g. *NKSC*.* to set the default action for any file/folder that contains the NKSC string

Thank you Hert, I can confirm it is working.

It is possible to add some other folders in the TXT file, in the next lines, and they are working too (e.g. "CaptureOne", "_Rejected" for FastRawViewer etc.).

I would like just to remark, that it is required to update to the latest version 4275 (no update trigger from the hamburger menu, I had to download from the User Control Panel). On the previous version 4268 it didn't work.
