Brian,

Thanks again! I didn’t change anything with regard to the feed code, so I am not sure what the issue is. I’ll ask for some help from someone and get that fixed as soon as I can. I think I should have a list like yours so folks can add the site to whatever environment they favor.

I’m a programmer by trade and Linux (and Unix in general) is managed by scripts. That means the tools already exist to extract info from the EXIF header, make directories, and move files. Windows has easier tools for a user to do all these things but in doing so makes it harder to automate.

Glad you liked my site.

On a different note, when I tried to add your RSS feed to Google Reader, I got an error. It seems the link under “Tech Stuff” starts with “feed:http:” when it should just be “http:” (or possibly just “feed:”, I didn’t try that). Then it works.

Brian,

Thanks for the comment. Your article hits the nail on the head. I generally shoot only JPEG Fine, but on occasion I wish I had shot raw. I guess I need to get with it and build an automated workflow to sort the images as you have done.

Great site, by the way!

I'm also a big fan of Ken Rockwell, but he also shoots his serious landscape work on a 4x5 view camera. When you're trying to squeeze all you can out of a DSLR, then RAW is your best bet. I shoot in RAW+JPEG (see my own RAW vs JPEG page) for much the same reason you do. I use the JPEG for almost everything and only go to the NEF if I want something special.
