Photoshop Elements v2022 camera file import renaming should be same for .jpg and .nef. Need fix.

[dherczeg1947]

I have thousands of files now that I have imported with P. E. v2022,. that put a different number on .jpg and raw files.  They were the same in previous versions.  I got a fix from a chat, but the menu references to make the fixes to not exist in my v2022.  I am trying to get a clean Catalog before importing to my latest version of Photoshop Elements.

PSE 2022 hasn't been supported for a year or two now, nothing will be done to fix anything wrong with the program.   If you got a fix from a chat with an Adobe employee that is good.

i've moved your post from Photoshop to the Photoshop Elements forum.

It might be best a to use a general batch file naming utility that offers sequential file numbers. I'd recommend Adobe Bridge, it's free if you have an Adobe account.

If you provide examples of the incorrect and correct filenames more advice can be offered.

What is the fix that Adobe chat suggested?

[Greg_S.]

Please be more specific about how you are importing your files into the Organizer.  And how are the file numbers different?

And what was the fix that you got from chat?

All--

Fixes:

1) turn off file naming and keep original -"Do not rename files" (the raw and jpg names are always the same both orignal and renamed, but the numbers added at the end of the filename text are different in the renamed files - and to make matters worse, the numbers are not cronological/sequential - i.e. the raw file number for ***1003.jpg was ***1007).  I am shooting with a Nikon D750, which does give the same file name to both the jpg and raw (nef) files, but Elements numbers the files sometimes sequential, but many times out-of-order as in my example above).  

2) Go to "Edit>Prefereces>Camera Raw and Uncheck "Treat JPEG files next to raw files as separate photos.  My version of Elements 2022 does not have "Camera Raw" in any menu option.

Thank you everyone.  I hope to get to a solution because there are literally thousands of tiles in this condition, and many times pairing the files can be painstaking because I take multiple shots in quick succession many times, so any two or three shots might be so similar that it would take excessive time to determine the correct pairing..

3) This option was a reference that was also not in my menu options that said the jpg's might be going to a different location from the raw files, but that is not the case.

Mr. Marsh-

The chat adviser suggested at the end of the fixes that he had a script that could rename the raw files to the same number as the jpg, but I did not see that in time and the chat ended.  Since the numbering of the raw files is not necessarily sequential with the jpg's I don't see how a script could detect the jpg verison of the raw file and number the raw to the correct jpg (or vice versa), but maybe you know how to handle that...)

Greg, sorry!  I am using import from Card Reader almost exclusively..

Again, post an example of the mismatched filename pairs, so that I can see if I can identify a pattern.

Perhaps the easiest thing is to simply batch export all the JPEG files from the raw files and then delete the previous JPEG files when you are happy.
