Utilizing camera data

The camera name and the data insertion time are the most important information tkDerm handles because the photo-storing directory tree is arranged based on these information as explained in Section 7.1 ( page).

The data insertion time will appear automatically in the Time entry in the New Data or Edit Macro (or Micro) Data dialog if you visit the Macro or Micro page of the dialog.

On the contrary, it is up to you to insert the camera name in the dialog. Therefore, the consistency of the photo-storing directory depends on how exactly you type the camera name in the dialog.

tkDerm will present candidates for the camera name as radio buttons in the dialog if you have registered them in the camera database. This will make you choose a camera name from the candidates instead of typing it by yourself and keep you from making a mistake in spelling it.

This chapter describes the merit of registering camera data and how to register them.
