Save RAW and JPEG to seperate folders?

[Bodkin's Best Photography]

Is it possible to get the Mini 2 to save the different file formats to different folders? I find it a pain to have to delete or move the jpegs from the folder so I can import only the raws into lightroom.

Just sort the files by the extension then all of the jpgs and RAWs will be grouped together.

I'm aware of that. That is how I've been deleting the jpegs since if you leave them in the folder then lightroom will attempt to import them along with the raws.

Oh, you said it was a pain. Sorting, highlighting and deleting takes about 4 clicks, I never thought of that as being much of a pain.

Believe me, I would have loved if it did, but it doesn't. As I have described before, I remove the SD card from the drone and insert into the card reader. I drag the main folder on to the desk top and upload all of the data. Then I eject the SD card but duo not yet format or erase it.

Then, I create two folders on the desk top, named Drone video+ Drone stills. (if there is a panorama or a RAW hyperlapse series I save it in a 3rd folder).

Here is the important part for me. I view, screen, and NAME each image or clip. If the image or clip is bad, I delete it at this time to save searching time later. This, then, provides me with the assets I will be needing for future editing, either in video (Premiere) or Photoshop.

Only when I am completely happy with my results, do I re-insert SD card into the drop and FORMAT the SD card using the DJI Go4 app (cog wheel>format SD card).

What is the (cog wheel>format SD card) ?? Is this a shortcut I dont' know about?
Also, do you rename each file individually? Or do you use a program like Thumbsplus? Saves a ton of time.

Arnold:
See my pen/pointer on these two iPhone shots.

On your DJI Go 4 App controls, there are three photo symbols- Aperture/Camera/cogwheel in the first image here.
Click the cogwheel, to get the 2nd image>scroll down to format SD card>hit that and it will erase your card and give you a full card for the next time.

I re-name each image individually and each video individually. It is a tremendous help when assembling your assets folder for your video editing program. I also use this opportunity to dump the bad stuff.

Let me know if you got this.

I just hadn't thought of it a a cog wheel, duh!
I use it all the time.
