Import can not create folder

Post by oliverkalt »

My tried and tested Import settings suddenly fail to create a folder
Error message for each image:
Copy failed for J:\DCIM\100OLYMP\P3161176.ORF with error Failed on copy Cannot create folder Syntax error.Source position:
Directory does not exists (0)
restarted computer and/or PhotoSupreme [Build 2024.0.1.6290 (64bit)]
tried to pre-create the required folders, no success, same error message
was only able to copy external and then find/import the missing folders, but without naming script etc.

Add note: I have a similar issue as viewtopic.php?t=35115
On every start PS tries to sync a number of old images (ORF). If I start Import before that sync finishes, both processes freeze until I kill and restart PS
could not find any issue with the 'sync' files yet

Thank you for any help

Check if in the Timeline, there is a 1899 year entry or a 0 year entry. These ORF files probably are in one of these two dates. If so, try to redate teh files.

Thanks for the sync hint. I misread the other post, file dates were OK, but entries messed up in PS. that stopped the repeated sync.
Import issue persists with same error message; no folders created, no images copied

The error that you list is from a script which is probably part of the Ingest profile.
Can you try to update to build 6295 first and try again?
Find the build in the Control Panel at https://cp.idimager.com

If it doesn't help..can you paste the script here?

tested build 6295, same error message and result.
script is an overstatement ;) using Path and Filename tool, unchanged for many years and and IDimager versions
Cant figure out how to send you a quick screen capture of my path & file naming setting

Follow-up: it appears the folder path is fine, it's my renaming settings that are failing. It appears that when the file renaming fails, there was never even a folder created before that.
