img_9999 limit on Canon's kinda sucks. Now I am back at the 500's and my photos are out of sequence :PEXIF data available.

if its any consolation it happens on the sonys too.
Folders and lightroom FTWWhy should that even affect you? Unless you're lumping all your files into one massive folder and not using a EXIF-intelligent sorting tool.>>100052On the A100, you can just set the default folder prefix to 101 instead of 100 and so on. I do it often if I have one set that ends and another that begins on a card I haven't dumped yet.
>>100053I know but it did it automagically and then every time i turned it back on it created a new folder which was somewaht confusing/annoying.Im only around 1.3k so far.
>>100053Why not just dump stuff into folders? My organization system:[Relevent hard drive letter]:\New Folder (x)\[contents of memory card].Works just fine.
>>100061Do you really go by 'New Folder (x)'?I have all of my image directories named like 'YYYY-MM-DD.shortdesc' so they're organized by date and there's a reminder of what I took pictures of on that date.
>>100088or export with the files named Date-Series Number.jpg or somethingLightroom was meant to fix this problem
>>100084mc? As in Midnight Commander?
>>100073Yep. I just sort by "date created" if I don't remember what folder I stuck a particular photograph in, and it works just like your system. That's for the raw files. The processed, final versions I keep all together in one folder.
>>100090Yeah, I thought you said you used midnight commander or something similar to sort your photos once.
>>100092Ahh. No, tcsh (i.e., straight-up command line shell). mc is abomination.
For some reason I read that as Midget Commander. My version was far more interesting.
>>100105That would be pretty awesome.AC: "Midget, I need you to find me all pictures I have of the Skylon tower."Midget: "Sir, my name is Tony"AC: "DON'T SASS ME, MIDGET! I AM YOUR COMMANDER!"
>>100108hahaha stop that ac, canonbots are not supposed to have a sense of humor
