Hi
I'm a newbie to the forum and wanted to post a couple of questions about LR2. I've finally left bridge and am now using LR2 (bridge in cs3 was driving me crazy)
So here goes:
1 I'm importing older raws and converting to dng. I use a filename preset based on the DAM book ie dwp_080806_1234. It is supposed to use the date the photo was taken but instead is using the current days date instead. Not sure why its doing this. I then run name change within LR2 using the same preset and it changes them accordingly. Its annoying I have to do this. Any ideas. ( the preset works if I'm importing from a card)
2 When running the name change within LR2 it will often stop halfway through saying it cant rename a file. I then find the file, start the process from there again and its OK. Again annoying and I'm not sure why its doing it.
3 I really rely on my star ratings and want to see quickly how many of each are in a folder as I do them. Under metadata in the Library filter I can choose many types of metadata but not the ratings. This seems like a crazy oversight to me.
Am I missing something or is there another way to see the totals of each of my ratings ?
Thanks for that, I'd appreciate any help.
Cheers, Dean
