Grouping

[Volker]

Hello,

 

I want to group three files/photos (see screenshot grouping). After grouping I want that Daminion shows the NEF file on the upper most level (screenshot grouping2), because this file contains all the metadata. Which is the fastest way to achieve this?

 

Currently when I select all three files and group them by CRTL+G the first file is on top of the group.

 

Regards,

Volker

I found the fastest way is to select the images desired for grouping, then move the cursor over the image you desire to be on top and click in the grey square in the top upper right of the image. This groups the images and places the clicked image on top. This also works when adding a new image to an existing group. Ctrl + G only seems to place the first image on top.

Thank you, Bob! You made my day! :-)

One more question: the NEF file contains tags that I want to copy to the correspondig PSP and JPG files. Which is the best way to do it for really a lot of pictures?

You can do it via ExifTool. I posted this question on ExifTool forum here.

Thank you, Murat! It would be fine if there was a way straight forward in Daminion to do this. Now I write to the raw image, then copy it via ExifTool to the jpeg, and the PSP still file doesn't have this information.

And after all I have to re-read the jpg files.

Unfortunately Daminion doesn't support scripting now.

 

Even if we'll add versioning and pair RAW + JPEGs to write metadata to both files simultaneously this will not work for PSD images. I don't know whether PSP supports metadata.

[Volker]

No, PSP doesn't support metadata. But with the help of the data stored in the Daminion database the PSP files would be much easier to handle.
