below there is still a potential problem.Ģ. The card reader does let me import images to a folder, but as I note in 2. iPhoto (at least the version 8.1.2 I have) offers no option to import to a folder outside iPhoto. In any case, I can’t rename files prior to importing to iPhoto unless I can first get them into a folder, and as I said, Image Capture refused to load the images after 191-9999. Either way I presume I would get duplicate IMG numbers in iPhoto unless I rename them before importing to iPhoto, as you both suggest. The option to “Continuous” is “Auto Reset” in which the file numbering is reset to 100-0001 each time the card is replaced. I did not realize iPhoto could have multiple images with the same name, & if it could, I felt this may lead to future confusion, especially since I often use Batch Change to rename entire albums.

The manual says this prevents images from having the same file number, so image management with a personal computer is easier. The default numbering system in my camera is “Continuous,” that is, numbers continue in sequence even after you replace the memory card. Upon removing the memory card to place it in the card reader, the folder numbers of the most recent folders changed. When image numbers in folder 191 reached 9999, it just numbered the next image 192_0001. 9999 is created, but I have not observed that code.

The manual also says an error code will display if file No. Some have less due to deleting some images on the camera.

Apparently these folder numbers advance when the folder is full (or possibly when the CF card is removed since the folder numbers have advanced to 201).
According to the camera’s manual, the first 3 digits are “file folder numbers” that begin at 100. For example, the image named IMG_9999 was identified in the camera’s display as 191-9999. I agree that the IMG file names are determined by the camera. Been waiting to respond until I got a card reader.ġ. I am still a little confused, but I will relate my findings, indexed by previously numbered questions.
Its not clear to me whether the published advice was wrong, or if iPhoto was modified at or before iPhoto'09 to eliminated that issue. Some advice such as the Missing Manual-iPhoto book still imply this, but in recent years I've been able to load jpgs from web or from camera into a folder, drag the folder to iPhoto, and trash the folder, without losing access to the images in iPhoto.
Incidentally, when iPhoto was first introduced, Apple used to warn that if photos or other graphics were in a separate folder, and the folder were dragged into iPhoto, the folder still had to be retained, as iPhoto didn't really import them. Is there any way to use Image Capture to load further images?ģ. 6.3), but loading just stopped once the IMG numbers being assigned reached 9999, and it would not load the rest. Before I loaded the plus-9999 images direct to iPhoto, I tried loading them to a desktop folder, using Image Capture (v. and since that also changes the name wherever that photo is found, its sometime useful to easily tell which photos in the Events library have not been placed into albums as they still have their original IMG_XXXX numbers.)Ģ.
My question is, what will happen when I load additional images to the point where the count reaches IMG_0389? Does iPhoto automatically add another character to the name so as to avoid assigning names already given to earlier pictures? If not, will I have to manually rename them, such as by using Batch Change to rename them as, for example, IMG2_0001, IMG2_0002, etc.? (Memo: I use Batch Change to rename album photos as, e.g., Ski Trip 1, Ski Trip 2, etc.

When the images of my most recent download went beyond IMG_9999, it named the next 172 images IMG_0001 to IMG_0172. The first image after those is named IMG_0389 with no suffix, and that system continued thereafter. JPG suffix, that is, the iPhoto version then in use named them IMG_0001.JPG to IMG_0388.JPG. The first images I imported from my Canon camera long ago have a.
