Is this possible made a small fix and add similar way to limit size of string for camera serial nubbers?
Some Nikon FF cams return looong serial numbers. Where actual serial number (from body) have 25 zeros at the end.
And using [S] make names like this when other models return normal 7 numbers serial.
99999990000000000000000000000000.NEF
6666666.NEF
Actually may be this is a bug? But anyway.
May be possible make [S] variable (or every variables) same as auto numeric variables?
So using [S7] will truncate serial or any other field to specific length.
Agreed this is an annoying aspect of some Nikon cameras!
Those cameras really do report this unsual serial number, so of course the app has to respect it. The app will trim off leading 0’s from the serial number, but thats all.
I’ve been thinking about adding controls for min-width and max-width to the filename expression. Once I figure out a clean way to do it, I’ll add that.
This is an old one, but is something like this still on your radar?
I’m wondering specifically if there’s a way to truncate the camera filenames to just the 4-digit file number. In the Name Policy window, the [O] operator includes the full camera-generated filename including the DSC_ or IMG_ part which is not needed.
My purpose in this is that if I ever needed to use the photos saved on the camera’s memory card, then the image numbers would match on both memory card and tethered photos. SmartShooter’s Sequence Number wouldn’t line up with the original.
(Still hunting, sorry if this exists and I just haven’t found it yet.)
