Import Workflow

FLOGVIT.culling includes a powerful import system for getting photos off your memory cards quickly and safely.

Auto-Detect Memory Cards

When you plug in a memory card (SD, CFexpress, USB), FLOGVIT.culling automatically detects it. The import dialog shows:

  • Card info: Number of images, total size, free space, card type
  • Multiple cards: Import from several cards simultaneously with parallel copying

Opening the Import Dialog

Go to File → Import or use the keyboard shortcut. The import dialog will show all detected volumes.

Source Selection

Choose your source from three tabs:

  • Disks: All detected removable drives
  • Folders: Browse for a specific folder
  • From Selection: Import only selected images

Destination

Set up where your files go:

  1. Primary destination: Your main working drive
  2. Secondary destination (optional): Automatic backup copy
  3. Folder structure template: Use variables to organize:
    • {year}, {month}, {day}, {date}
    • {camera}, {lens}

A live preview shows the resulting folder path as you configure.

Rename on Import

Set up file renaming with template variables:

{date}_{camera}_{seq:4}.{ext}

This produces filenames like 2026-02-19_NIKON_Z9_0001.nef.

Available variables: {date}, {time}, {camera}, {seq:N}, {original}, {ext}

IPTC Metadata

Apply metadata to all imported files:

  • Copyright and photographer info
  • Keywords
  • Caption (with variable support)
  • Location (city, state, country)
  • Headline and special instructions

Save and reuse IPTC templates for different events or clients.

Verification

FLOGVIT.culling verifies each copied file with checksums (SHA-256 or xxHash) to ensure data integrity. This runs automatically during import.

Incremental Import

When enabled (on by default), FLOGVIT.culling skips files that already exist at the destination. This makes it safe to run import multiple times from the same card without creating duplicates.

RAW+JPEG Handling

If your camera shoots RAW+JPEG, FLOGVIT.culling detects pairs with the same filename and treats them as a single unit. Only the RAW file is kept, reducing duplication.

Background Import

The import runs in the background — you can start culling immediately while files are still copying. A progress indicator shows import status.
