Sorry, still learning with digital and macs. If you shouot both in Jpegs and Raw and you download it, is there and easy way to separate these 2 types of files, so you can then have one folder to work on in raw, ie. is there a way when you download for all the jpgs to go to one folder, and the raw to another?

 

Thanks!

Here's the best I've come up with, which isn't ideal:

 

Put them in one folder, go to the finder "view" menu, and select "Arrange > by Kind".

 

Then you'll have all the files of each type together and you can select all of them & move them into sub-folders.

Separate JPEGs - Automator Actions

[jfgilbert]

It is quite easy to write an automator action that will copy the JPGs and the DNGs in two separate folders, and you can set it to run automatically when you insert your card reader in the USB port. I just did it and will be happy to send it to you with instructions to make it read your card and put the files where you want them.

If you are interested, just pm me.

You also have to take account of shooting a mix of RAW (with jpeg) and jpeg only on the same card, so at some point you have to compare files and there is an automator action to do so, but it's a plug=in..

Use A Better Finder Rename.

I've recently acquired this software and ran into difficulty renaming M8 dng files. D-Lux 3 and Nikon D200 raw files renamed without trouble. Were you able to work with M8 files?

 

I realize this thread was up many months ago, but I found your note searching the archives. Any information you might provide would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks

Instead try the freeware app EXIF renamer - it's what I use and can be run as a sort of plug-in to Image Capture so it comes up automatically, flexible too.

The finder window has a search filter in the top right corner. If you're looking at your memory card, type jpg into the filter and it will show only your jpgs. Type dng and it will show only the dngs.

This is the simplest and quickest method. Two simple steps only.

 

With the folder in question open just;-

(1) type command-2 (puts the folder into List view)

(2) click on 'Kind' and the contents will be separated into both kinds.
