RE: What do you do when you get to IMGP9999
I put a 1, 2, 3 etc. in front. My last exposure is appr. 41500 on the "D". I make folders saying 3-35000-october 2005. This is not a perfect system thoug. When I get the K10D I'll have to thinkof something else - perhaps K-11255-12500 - january 2007. You may use a photo dasabase like ACDSee or Photoshop Elements, which allows my to typeim tags as well.

I'm now at image 17,603 and am having a bit of a crisis with my sorting regime because I can't add my last 7603 images to my file system.

I use Javascript to assemble the email address out of fragments in the HTML and have a noscript link to a page with *just* an image of my email address (no mailto link). Amazingly, there are spammers who have scraped this manually! The problem is that when one spammer gets hold of your address it's often immediately sold to a few others, each of whom in turn sells it to a few others and so on... -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net

On the other hand, it seems to defeat about 98% of the web crawlers, which is good enough for me. Most of them are not very sophisticated. ;-) > To avoid having the email address embedded in the HTML code you > either have to have a contact form, or engage in a little trickery. > > FWIW my site uses a little PHP snippet which generates a randomised > call to a simple javascript function that writes the text.

If the email address is embedded as a mailto: link on the image, spammers will still get hold of it. To avoid having the email address embedded in the HTML code you either have to have a contact form, or engage in a little trickery. FWIW my site uses a little PHP snippet which generates a randomised call to a simple javascript function that writes the text.

Same thoughts here. Good job! You might consider 'hiding' your email address as a clickable image rather than as text on the contact page. It cuts down on spam.

Re: What do you do when you get to IMGP9999
Thanks for all the input! I downloaded irfanView ages ago but never installed it because I didn't think it could really do anything. Wrong again... I'm presently renaming all my photos with a six digit serial number, which at my current rate of consumption should be good through my seventy sixth birthday (I'm 18 now so I have a long way to go), using irfanView.

Re: What do you do when you get to IMGP9999
One thing Nikon, and i'm sure Canon has, is the ability to change the file name in camera. The older D1 and D1H you we're stuck with DSC_X.XXX Now i can change the DSC_ to show barn initials, my initials, etc. That helps as i have two Nikon cameras both within a few frame numbers of each other. Also i do a lot of renaming with a free program called CKrename. Marks site has a link to it. Its a really neat program and you can batch name or pick out individual files to rename. Thats what i need it for. My main directories are under Pentax-06 or Nikon-06 etc and i name my sub's as needed. Sometimes mmddyy, sometimes more specific like mmddyy-topic.

Re: What do you do when you get to IMGP9999
We have images from several digital cameras plus digitized film... Images from each camera are serialized unique to the camera so that images from each camera do not collide while sorting. Images are then merged by time. They then are renamed again as where is the event ID, and is for each image. Rolls of film are by roll number, starting at, say, roll 50: 5001 and up for the first roll, 5101 and up for the second roll, etc. Variations to each image have a small suffix. If we shoot more than 50 rolls or 5000 digital images for an assignment, then we might have to use more than one assignment #. It is important for each image to have a totally unique name, so that there are not name collisions on websites, indexes, etc. Having the first four digits be an assignment ID makes it easy to tell where to find each image in the future. Directories are named with the assignment number _, so they are easy to find on the hard drives. The physical file folders in the cabinets are in the same format. There is a database of event IDs.

When I copy my photos to my laptop, I put them in a folder structure like this: 2006 01_Jan 02_Feb 03_March And so on. I index them all with a piece of software called iView. Don't know if there is a PC version but I'm using it on a Mac with good results. As the harddrive gets too full, I can take a few months at a time and archive them to a DVD (two copies, please!) and an external harddrive. Sure there are duplicate filenames, but they are almost a year apart, and in different folders, so it doesn't matter. Any galleries/albums/websites that I construct with my photos are dragged into iPhoto and worked on there. But the "originals" (kind of like the negatives from the old days) stay in the /MM folder heirarchy permanently. -Charles -- Charles Robinson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Minneapolis, MN http://charles.robinsontwins.org -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
Re: What do you do when you get to IMGP9999
I started renaming images at about image 3000 or so changing the IMGP to the location of where the picture was taken or the subject of the image. I use Breeze systems Downloader Pro which renames easily while downloading. There are a lot of other programs out there that do the same. The only time I will have problems is if I happen to go to the same place and the counter is at the same range it was last time. I started doing this because I bought a second istD and didn't want to get into trouble with it all.

Re: What do you do when you get to IMGP9999
Adam, You're a couple of thousand exposures ahead of me, but I've run into the same problem re: file naming. My solution was to start renaming the images when uploading them to the PC. I think that's the common way to solve it. There are many tools that allow you to rename files in batch. Irfanview is a nice one. Some of the raw converters can do it for you too, as well as image archiving software like ThumbsPlus, BreezeBrowser and PhotoStation. Can't help you with freeware to change the metadata, I'm afraid. Have you considered using a database-based tool for the management job?

Re: What do you do when you get to IMGP9999
Irfanview will do batch rename pretty easily and it's free. http://www.irfanview.com/ Be sure to download/install the plug-in file, too. I believe it will batch apply IPTC data as well, but I use BreezeBrowser Pro for that and my other organizing functions. BreezeBrowser is not freeware, but not too expensive, either. http://breezesys.com/ -P Adam McKenty wrote: > How do you rename/organize your digital photos? > I'm now at image 17,603 and am having a bit of a crisis with my sorting > regime because I can't add my last 7603 images to my file system.

Re: What do you do when you get to IMGP9999
After copying files from a memory card, I run a little shell script that I wrote, that renames IMGP* to IMG1*, and converts PEF to DNG. I have one directory per day, named "MMDD", where MM = month and DD = day. These live in a bigger directory for each year. I just didn't want to have month subdirectories, and this granularity is what works for me. j On 9/26/06, Adam McKenty <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > How do you rename/organize your digital photos? > I'm now at image 17,603 and am having a bit of a crisis with my sorting > regime because I can't add my last 7603 images to my file system.
