Import settings in Foto's

Léonie, Thanks again for pointing me into the right direction. I have spent a challenging week finding out what AppleScript and Automator are all about - and I'm impressed with the possibilities! I am now able to successfully run the script you suggested: Batch Change Title to Capture Date-Description-Padded Sequential Numbers by Old Toad and yourself. However, I would again like to ask for your help: When I run the script, the numbers always starts with "1". How do I change the script to make a particular batch start with a specific number e.g. 9073. And if at all possible I would like to replace the "--" intended for the "description of all images" with only "#" (no descriptions required). Grateful for your help. Best regards and of course Happy new year

Léonie, Many thanks for your fast and very clear explanation. When using several camera's simultaneously over many years, it is vital to maintain a consistent indexing system. Mine was simple: For every country: "year-month-day # sequence number (from 1 to infinity)" and I find it hard to understand why this function is not incorporated into Photos as many users wil have come from Aperture. I will certainly try your suggestion to use Scripting Photos. The "Date-Description-Padded Sequential Numbers". would seem my best choice, however my knowledge of my iMac does not really go beyond the screen and looking at the Scripting examples I doubt if I can apply this. I might have to return to Aperture. Thanks for your help !
