I'm new to FPV and am struggling to do something that I'd like to do. I want to incorporate FPV into my workflow as the first step in ingesting my raw files from my camera's memory card onto my desktop pc. I love the speed and ease with which I can cull my set of images but I want to reduce my steps to as few as possible. Here is what I'd like to accomplish:
1. Don't touch the files on the memory card. Call me paranoid but until I'm satisfied that my files are safely imported to my pc and backed up onto my external hard drive, I don't want to write to or delete anything on my memory card.
2. I want to cycle through all images and select the pictures that I want to keep or the ones that I don't want to keep.
3. I want to copy the files to a folder on my hard drive using a template that creates the desired directories and directory structure and I want the destination files to be renamed using a naming rule that results in unique file names.
4. I want to make copies of the same files on my external hard drive with the exact same names and directory structure that they have on my internal hard drive.
5. I want to do steps 3 and 4 with one click of the apply button in the file utilities plugin.
I know how to accomplish all of these goals but I'm not able to accomplish 3 and 4 with one click. I need to use a counter in order to guarantee a unique file name and if I copy the files from my memory card twice, once to each destination, the files will have different names. If I rename them before copying them, the memory card will get written to. I can probably copy them once to my hard drive then switch to that folder as my image folder and then copy them again, without renaming them, to my external hard drive but this requires several steps.
There is an example of doing something similar to this in the documentation but it uses the "move" function which deletes the images from the memory card. which I don't want to do. The example rule shown would also result in different file names if I use a counter in my rename template.
Is what I want to do possible? Is it unreasonable?
