Using DCP5 to find photo matches with no EXIF data.

Post by bsacco »

I discovered that DCP5 is the MOST powerful way to find BULK photo matches with no EXIF data OR the wrong date in the file NAME.

The problem is, I have found no way to rename these FOUND files with their matched photo in BULK.

I'm I missing something here in DCP5?

Does DCP5 have a way of doing this?

Or is this a new feature request?

Are you trying to rename files based on filenames/metadata in other files in the same group? Unfortunately there isn't a way of doing this currently. Something for version 6 perhaps, if I can work out a nice way of doing it.

How about using File Removal tab to move those files -- and you can preserve all or part of the folder structure when you move them -- then rename in another application.

Please share your method of finding all the files on your PC with the no exif/wrong exif data?
