I select my CP1 RAW photos and ‘OPEN WITH’ DXO PR6. The files populate the PR6 Lightbox. My setting after processing is to send to CP1 without the original files.
I then ‘IMPORT’ the DNG files into CP1 and they are located as a Referenced File right next to the original NEF file. Naming is the original file name and ends up as …….XD3.DNG.
Now every time I do this with new files, I find that the file naming ends up as a ‘copy’ of the original DNG, and appears as ….XD3 1.DNG. This really bothers me.
I have deleted all original DNGs and reprocessed to see if anything changes. Still the same.
PureRAW hasn’t done this on my Macs so far. But I use PR standalone and unless PR would have to overwrite an existing file of a given name, additional things like numbers or “copy” added to the name should not appear.
Please check input and output file names and test PR standalone. Make sure you don’t have duplicate file names as input. And try different re-naming for output.
Cannot test as I haven’t installed PR at the moment.
(Using the terminal easily shows any changes of file name length)
A second test run with a default preset did not create unwanted names either. Therefore, PR does not create strange names, unless it is forced do so in order to prevent overwriting files. PR warns of duplicate names and can be asked to use unique names upon export. In this case, things look as follows:
(the Prefix of SEL__ is used only for copies of files I use for testing)
From these short tests, I conclude that unwanted names are caused by PR using unique names to prevent overwriting or that C1 or macOS do the renaming for similar reasons. Imo, PR 6.2 works as expected on macOS Sonoma on 2019 5k iMac.
