ePP File Mover Utility

Posted on: Mar 08 2009

This is a handy little application that will help you extract a subset of files from a large group. For example, say you gave a client 500 images from an event, and they choose 60 of them as their favorites for an album and email you the list of filenames... this application will allow you to choose a source folder (folder with all files in it), specify a destination folder (where the images will be copied to), and then you just type the filename into a text box, and based on each character you enter it will filter the files in the source folder down until you get to one file - then click enter and it will go into a list to be moved to the destination folder. The auto sensing means that if the actual filename is Smith_08_256.jpg all you have to do is type in 256 and it will find that file.

This is a much better way to do this for large numbers of files than control-clicking on each one... I always ended up clicking somewhere I shouldn't and would deselect all the files just as I was about to finish.

If you have CS3 or later or Lightroom and need to grab files, you can also do this easily by simply rating or adding labels to the images  you want, then sorting by that.

ePP Race Number Utility

Posted on: Mar 08 2009

This is a simple utility that allows you to view a folder full of images one at a time and add a prefix to the filename. Created for photographers that shoot sports where you would want to sort images based on a bib number or race number, such as motocross, cycling, running etc. While viewing an image you can zoom in to see a certain part of the image easier, and that zoom setting will carry over to all images. You can also rotate images if necessary.

Using the utility you can tag images just about as fast as you can type the number and press enter. It works on images of any size with little or no delay when going from one image to the next.

ePP Fuji Frontier File Renamer

Posted on: Mar 08 2009

This Utility does 3 basic things - for the most part specifically for photo labs using a Fuji Frontier:

• It renames files scanned on a Fuji Frontier and exported from the PIC. Files that are in the format of "ordername_ordername-rxx-xxx-xx.jpg" will be renamed as "RXX-yya.jpg". XX will be the roll number, with a leading zero if necessary and yy (with or without an a) is the neg number, with leading a zero if necessary. Renaming is for 35mm or APS film, and will not work with scans made with the manual carrier (120 or slides).
• Index prints can be created at the same time as renaming, or after the fact. Index print is a 4x6 with 6 rows of seven images, each with the filename below. The path to the folder containing the index print is printed in the top left corner, and the date is in the top right corner. Filenames must be in the format "RXX-yya.jpg".
• Images from multiple rolls can be separated, with each roll going into its own folder, with the roll number as the folder name.

This utility is for PC's only.
