Can Aperture Read the camera's sequential number metedata when naming files

Before I started using Aperture I would use this naming convention in Bridge to batch rename files and It works great because it avoids duplicate file names and the files are in sequential order
my last name(Blake)YYYYMMDDfour digit NON RESETTING sequential number, generated by my Nikon D2X. I don't have any duplicate file names unless I shoot more that 9999 images in one day.
Has anybody found the option to use the camera's generated sequence number in Aperture's file naming scheme. I sure can't. I know that you can set a four digit sequence but that sequence doesn't start where the sequence leaves off in the previous import.
Thanks

I have two workarounds
1. Rename the files in bridge after like I have always done and then import the folder as an Aperture project without changing the file names. I use photo mechanic to download the files from the card.
2. Go to the library smart folders to see what was the last project I imported and check the four digit sequence before the file name extension. Set the sequential counter in Aperture to start at the next sequential number where the last file left off.
I have to use the four digit sequence instead of using the date and Time sequence. It is very convenient for my clients to give me the four digit sequence when telling me what images they want prints from,etc. Avoids any confusion.
I did request this feature of using the camera's generated file name in Apple's feedback link for future inhancements.
thanks for your responses

  • GigE Vision how can I read the camera attributes

    Hi,
    we are using CVI 2012 and NI IMAQdx and we want to read out the camera attributes from a GigE vision camera.
    We tried the IMAQdxEnumerateAttributes2 function but it didn't work. We got no information back.
    Does anyone have an idea how we can read out the camera attributes?
    thanks in advance
    Oliver

    Hello Topper,
    yes we tried this but we didn't succeed.
    But meanwhile we know why, here is our solution:
    // Open a session to the selected camera
    // initialisiert den G4GigE-Zeilensensor
    rw = IMAQdxOpenCamera(G4GigE.CamName, IMAQdxCameraControlModeController, &G4GigE.session);
    IMAQdxEnumerateAttributes2(G4GigE.session, attributeInformationArray, &uiCount, "CameraAttributes::CustomFeatures::Illumination", IMAQdxAttributeVisibilityAdvanced);
    strcpy(String, "CameraAttributes::CustomFeatures::Illumination:lot1:lot_1_RED");
    IMAQdxSetAttribute(G4GigE.session, String, IMAQdxValueTypeU32, 10);
    It is necessary to type in the correct pathname to adress the attribute correctly. The path will be separated by :: If the path is not correct there will be no result.
    To get the number of attributes it seams that the highest path name have to be adressed.
    since we found this out we could run our application
    greetings

  • My computer can't read the camera album for my iPhone 5 after updating to ios 7

    My iPhone 5 was recently updated to iOS 7 and now, it's camera album photos cannot be detected by my computer. Any advice on what to do???

    All lightening connectors sold by Apple, or by companies officially licensed by Apple to sell the technology, have microchips in them indicating the technology is legally licensed to be used.  Prior to iOS, Apple was not enforcing checks on that.  However, with iOS 7, the system actually now checks the chips, and devices from manufacturers using the technology illegally are being blocked.
    You effectively have hardware that uses illegal, pirated technology owned by Apple, and Apple is clamping down on such producers.  In part I'm sure because some of the illegal devices have been causing complaints and problems from damage to devices and hazards to consumers.
    At least in the USA and UK (and elsewhere I believe) you can bring the illegal hardware into Apple and exchange it for an Apple device for $10 (see http://www.apple.com/support/usbadapter-takeback)

    If you are having the same problem, i.e. a disk permission problem, open your favorite search engine and search on, "change disk permissions", and I think you'll find plenty of information on how to fix the problem. This is a Lightroom forum. Your problem is with your operating system. There is no sense in rewriting instructions that are already available if you do a simple search.

    my up to date iMac can not read the lightroom 5 installation dvd I received for christmas, the dvd player works fine with other dvd's, is there a way to download the program with the dvd's serial number?

    No need to worry about the disk version. You would just have to install an update anyway as soon as it was installed. Download from the link provided below and use the serial number you have to activate.

  • My ipad has frozen leaving candy crush, I tried to put it off using the on/off button, but now I have a black screen with no function. I can't read the serial number on the back as it is tiny.! any ideas?

    My Ipad mini has frozen leaving Candy crush. I tried to put it off using the on/off button, now the screen is black with no function. I can hear Siri if I push the control. It is charged. Any ideas? I can't read the very small printed serial number on the back so can't use the Apple help as they require the serial number.

    Hold down the sleep/wake button and the home button for ~10 seconds, or until the apple logo appears.  This is called a reset.

  • Help required please. "Itunes can not read the contents of my iphone"

    Greetings all,
    I know this question has been asked before and I apologize for asking again but all the solutions provided don't seam to work for me, can anyone help me please.
    I am receving the message: "Itunes can not read the contents of the iPhone. Go to the summary tab In iPhone Preferences and click restore torestore this Iphone to factory settings".
    Now a little about my iphone, Itunes and my laptop and what steps i havealready tried.
    I have an iPhone 4 running software 5.0
    My itunes version is 10.5.0.142
    I know these are not the most up to date versions but I have had this issue for almost 3 months now and updating the software back then was the first step I tried. I don’t believe updating to the latest will fix this issue as updating the last two times did nothing.
    Every so often after starting Itunes, The program will stop responding and will require the three finger death kill (CTRL, ALT, DELETE) to open task manager to end the task of Itunes. Once it shuts down, I restart the iTunes and it runs smoothly, apart from not reading my iPhone.
    When I run a diagnostic in itunes under the help tab, I get these fail messages:
    Network Connectivity test: Secure link to Itunes store fail
    Device connectivity test: Under support services: Itunes helper is not running. And under ports: No iPod, iPhone or iPad found.
    Device Sync test: No iPod touch, iPhone or iPad found.
    *See below for full diagnostic report*
    I have restored back to factory settings twice.
    I have shut down and restarted both my iPhone and laptop.
    I am running Windows 7 32-bit on my laptop.
    I am using ZoneAlarm as my fire wall, and have been disabling it when syncing my iPhone to prevent other error messages.
    The iPhone is plugged into a genuine Iphone USB cable and is plugged into a USB port not a USB hub on my laptop, I have tried plugging it into all 4 USB ports and this issue still persist. The Cable is less then 5 months old, is not frayed or damaged in any way, have also borrowed 2 other cables from friends and still the same issue.
    The iPhone does not even come up in windows explorer as a digital camera.
    The iPhone is NOT jailbroken
    I do not live close to a so called genius bar, however I have made the journey to them on 3 separate occasions last year when I first received my iPhone for a different issue, the so called genius's could not fix the problem so they just gave me a new (refurbished) iPhone, which did not extend my warranty. I will not be taking the iPhone back to them as I believe they can not resolve many issues, this is why I am reaching out to the power of the people in the wider apple community.
    I have read in other forums about ifunbox and other programs for jail broken iPhones to isolate folders “iTunesDB” and "iTunesCDB" and delete them. If this is the issue is there a way to access these files through windows explorer as my iphone is not jailbroken.
    I hope I have provided enough information and someone can help me fix this issue. If I have left anything out, please let me know. I thank everyone in advance for your patience and support.
    Thanks

    Hi AM_Kidd.
    Thanks for your reply.
    I have done a complete uninstall and re install of iTunes and all related apple programs from my laptop through control panel, add remove programs and also by going through program files and deleting all tracers of any left over folders remove programs may have missed.
    My apologies for forgetting to add this in my original post.
    Thanks again

  • Help! I installed the wrong firmware and now can't access the camera to change it back!

    I have done something silly and wonder if you can help to get me out of a fix. Yesterday I upgraded the firmware of my camera and I can no longer see the camera on the network, even when it is connected by a wired connection. I have tried a hard reset but that has not helped. 
    I now realise that I have upgraded with firmware via a link from the US website and it is a different firmware version to the UK site. It is also designated as a  RoSh version (although I do not understand the significance of this). Presumably US networks are set up differently to EU ones? 
    I upgraded the firmware from version 1.10 to version 1.25 (RoSh). The European firmware upgrade is designated as version 1.21.
    The only way forward that I can see is to find a network that will recognise the camera and then change the firmware back to the European one.  Any ideas?

    Whats the Model number of your Camera. As you have uploaded the wrong firmware of your Camera. I think you can download the Latest firmware from the European website and upgrade the firmware of your Camera using TFTP tool utility.
    Go to ftp.linksys.com/pub/network... and download TFTP.exe File on your computer. Once done connect your camera to the Computer and provide a Static IP to your computer. 
    Double click the tftp.exe file and click run :
    For Server- Enter the IP Address of the router that you assigned.  By default, the router is 192.168.1.115...
    For Password- Enter the password you assigned the camera. By default, the camera’s password is “admin”.
    For File- Click the triple “…” button and browse for the .bin firmware file...Click Upgrade button to start upgrading.  A progress bar should show up to show the progress.
    Once the Upgrade is done press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your camera, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your camera...

  • Hi there, I need to be able to read raw files from an Olympus Stylus 1 via CS5 and Lightroom 4.  I have downloaded Raw file plug-in v 6.7.1 but still can't read the files.

    Hi there, I need to be able to read raw files from an Olympus Stylus 1 via CS5 and Lightroom 4.  I have downloaded Raw file plug-in v 6.7.1 but still can't read the files?

  • Firefox 4 -- just downloaded and menu & top bars are in some strange language - not english. I can't seem to get to a tools menu to change the language because I can't read the top menu.

    Just downloaded Firefox4 and can't read the top line menu because it's in some strange language with symbols instead of letters. How do I get it to display English in the top line menu?
    If I could read the menu, I'd go to tools and see if there were an option to change the menu language, but since I can't read the menu choices, I'd only be pushing meaningless buttons.
    [email protected]

    Thanks. I tried it and get the attached screen. I don't see anything which lets me change the language in the menu.
    Before I give up completely & just stick with Chrome or IE, I'll bring my laptop which has a correctly configured version of firefox 4 side by side with my desktop & use it as a template for clicking on the correct gibberish lines. I still don't see an option for changing menu bar language, but I'll search around a bit.
    It would help if I could get phone contact with someone at Mozilla, but they don't seem to list a phone number on their help page ----

  • Where can i download the camera program? My ipod doesn't have it.

    The cameras that my ipod touch 4G has, the camera dosn't respond. Its almost like its locked.
    I went to a video game store to change the screen. When they reterned it they erased the memery and added the iOS program and told me that i needed to instal the camera.

    You can't delete the Camera app.  Yu can hide it with restrictions (Setings>General>Restrictions).  Have you tried using the spotlight search to look for it if it is not Restricted?

  • Can I know the name, type, total number of column in Record Group?

    I created a record group with query dynamically.
    And then populated it.
    I don't know the column' count, type, name befause I get the query from user at runtime.
    Can I know the name, type, total number of column in Record Group?

    Unfortunately, there is no way to query the record group (RG) to get the metadata you are looking for. RGs are best used as data sources to an LOV or List Item rather than as an Array to hold the resultset of a dynamic query. For this, I would recommend you use a Collection type of construct (PL/SQL Table of Records, VArray, etc).
