Sequence Finder
I thought I would do a little learning of Python. I thought I should maybe build something that I could use all the time. Something, say, that could organize multiple image sequences and sort them based on sequence into groups. So each group would have a sequence of images in it that i could then organize into folders.
The problem with this, as i found out, is that the image sequences are somewhat random. Mostly because of non standard naming conventions. Which means that I have to find the part of the image name that is the number sequence as well as watch out for version numbers and the like.
example:
testImage_V01_001.jpg
testImage_v01_002.jpg
testImage_v02_001.jpg
testImage_V02_002.jpg
NewTestImage_V01a_01.jpg
NewTestImage_V01a_02.jpg
Well after a few nights of playing around, I’ve finally done it. It works in most instances that I have run into and because I know that the next job I go to will probably do things a little differently I commented the crap out of it so I can figure out just how i did it next time I have to change it.
If I figure out how to attach files here I’ll post it for all to see my (currently) crappy python skills. And if anybody has any time, I would love some constructive criticism.
