Keyboard Shortcut Wish

I'm a freelance property photographer for Airbnb and I merge a lot of HDR images and then export those DNG files. No additional editing is required.

Is there a keyboard shortcut that will cause the Export One File popup window to open, so I can renumber my sequence of images?

Neither Shift/Ctrl/Cmd+E nor Ctrl/Cmd+E are helpful.

Cheers,

Hey guys. I feel like a knucklehead.

I looked at Menu> File> Export and suddently noticed the one-step keyboard shortcut printed in the menu.

Ctrl+ Shift+ E

I also found Ctrl+H is one-step for merging my selected HDR images.

Sorry for my confusion.

"so I can renumber my sequence of images? ". Can you give more details of how you want your new HDR files to be named in the Export? What criteria?

I note you have simply "Custom Name" in the Export dialog- this will require you to enter that custom name at each export.

Can you define a Rename Preset that perhaps uses Sequence Number and other metadata (Filename)? Then you have no need to enter any custom naming when exporting. Select the Export Preset > Done!

Do you like to use the mouse for many actions?

1. Define your Export requirements (once) in the Export dialog, such as Rename {Sequence+Filename}, File-type, Size, etc-

2. [ADD] the Export settings as a Preset

Now to Export selected file/s any time in the future-

[Right-Click] the image/s > Export > Choose the Export Preset. Or go Menu: File > Export with Preset.

I use my mouse constantly. I'm just wanting to eliminate two-steps, which begins to waste time after performing 50-60 HDR exports. When right-clicking, it's Export> Export> change my file name> then Export again.

I wish there was one right-click Export option (or keyboard shortcut) that would directly open the Export One File dialog box as in the attached screenshot.
