Snowball is a Medium Sulphur Crested Eleanora Cockatoo that dances to the Back Street Boys and other songs that he rates as having a "very good beat." He came to Bird Lovers Only Rescue Service, Inc. (a 501c3 not for profit bird rescue and sanctuary) in August 2007 and continues to make us laugh with his fancy footwork.

filename metadata on flickr!

  • Dec 8, 2008
  • Post a comment
FINALLY, i have found a way to save the filenames of my photos uploaded to flickr so that i can change the titles to something more... meaningful in a non-technical way than, say, 20081120-IMG_04353.jpg .  i don't know why flickr doesn't already have this long-overdue feature!! ! !!!!11 1one

LR/Transporter
LR/Transporter
LR/Transporter plugin for Lightroom 2 can batch process changing certain metadata fields based on other fields such as... filenameforfuck'ssake filename.  there are quite a number of other powerful features in this plugin but i'm too excited right now about filenames in metadata that i haven't even played with that.

for filenames in metadata, i've inserted (fileNameNoExtension} into the "title" field.

now i can change my flickr photo titles and still reference the original filenames on flickr when i need to find the originals in archive.

/clap

i'm sure there are a good number of other tricks it can do but my one brain cell cannot handle that level of excitement right now.

edit: yes, i know this can be done much more cheaply with perl, but this way has minimal impact on my current workflow.

@valleywag i'm so glad someone understands

although i do not highly regard valleywag in the least for its tabloid exploitation of silicon valley gossip (although i must say they do a good job of it), it was good to find a concise summation of how i feel about twitter:

As more users join, the Twitter feed becomes filled with more and more noise; repetitive retweetings, back-scratching praise, and self-congratulation. A set of amateurs celebrating each other not for the quality or insight of their reporting, but its brevity, swiftness, and modish form of delivery.

now i just have to find one about yelp.
