I'm sorry to say that it may not be possible, but saying that IF you are using a Windows machine you could  write your own contact sheet routine.

This should fix that problem. #target bridge  if( BridgeTalk.appName == "bridge" ) {  renamePDFs = MenuElement.create("command", "Rename PDFs", "at the end of Tools"); } renamePDFs.onSelect = function () { app.document.deselectAll(); var thumbs = app.document.getSelection("pdf"); for( var z in thumbs){ var Name = decodeURI(thumbs .spec.name); var parts = Name.toLowerCase().replace(/\s/g,'-').match(/(.*)(-)(.*)(-)(.*)(\.pdf)/); var NewName = parts[1].replace(/^[a-z]/, function(s){ return s.toUpperCase() }); NewName += parts[2]+parts[3].toUpperCase()+parts[4]+parts[5].toUpperCase().replace(/[A-Z]$/, function(s){ return s.toLowerCase() }); NewName += parts[6]; thumbs .spec.rename(NewName);     } }; ...

Yes scripts are very powerful and can save an enormous amount of time. You can allready see if the flash has fired in Bridge, it shows this in the Metadata Camera Data (Exif) window, so long as the preferences - metadata has been selected. Yes conditional statements are used all the time. As for documentation.
