Comment 5 for bug 704482

We are trying to figure out the best way to handle the delete-upon-successful-finish option. So I don't think there's much connection between deleting selected pics by looking at the preview (the bug you are referencing to) and this bug.

The way I am grabbing pictures by default is that to every day-folder (like YYYY-MM-DD) I am adding the short camera model name and the serial number (if available). This is fantastic when getting pics from different cameras (even from the same card or a folder I would like to tidy).

I think that looking at the camera model could be misleading when you don't have a serial number available... In such case you could end up deleting pictures of a different camera but the same model you would like to leave untouched... Another issue is the lack of exif for movies which wont work at all for this. The question is: is there a way to identify files (both films and pictures) that point to the specific camera. I don't think this is possible. However there's something called UUID for partitions. Could this be used to identify the cards. Not sure if the volume serial numbers are random enough for this.
