Using Qr Code Galleries Without The Qr...

Hi Tim.

We would like to possibly use the QR style galleries, but without having Sytist scan the QR code after upload.   

We need this as we use tethered computers at certain events to ensure that images are correctly saved and have absolute guarantee that data is assigned correctly while they are being photographed and in real time.  At the moment, we do this using the -passcode- within the filename method of data assignation, which is 100% reliable as we can automate the filenaming of .jpgs on import using our tethering software.  We can also use IPTC data assignation when tethering.  At the event we won't have time to manually check after upload that all QR codes have been correctly read.

Q: is it possible to assign data to images uploaded to QR galleries manually through any camera tethered option? How is the QR read data assigned to the subsequent images currently? 

Thanks Tim.

To use the QR passcodes, the QR photo needs to be uploaded and the photos belonging to it after it. 

QR Passcodes.

OK.  

If you might be able to think of a way for users to use QR type galleries (and their benefits) with tethered computers creating data assignation, I'd be very grateful.

Thanks Tim.

Hey Tim,

I understand what you are saying here and don't want to sound like an idiot(may be too late).  But would it work if upload the .csv with Subjects, groups and passcodes, created the QR codes in sytist for the students to bring home(love the scan QR to view their photos), then used the same passcodes that were uploaded to sytist in the entagged system where it would embed those passcodes into the copyright field.   

If the images were uploaded to a single gallery within the gallery that you created the QR codes in, Would the QR codes still bring them to their images with the passcode embeded in the copyright field?

Thanks for your help.

It is not what it was designed for so you will just have to test and see.

The 'scan this QR code to go straight to your images' works in normal galleries (i.e. those that are not QR set up), as long as you create new QR codes for participants and have its  embedded URL such that:

https://mysite.co.uk/?mypasscode=abcde12345

includes your passcode and the gallery must be set to 'Publish', not 'Draft'. 

We create new QR codes based on this URL to hand to people at events. 

We hardware embed our passcodes into the images filenames (e.g. xxx-passcode-xxx.jpg) via a laptop and a traditional 1d scanner.   The 1d scanner is important, because the sheet of paper that is handed to the participant includes the 1) QR code with URL for scanning by them with their phones for easy access, and 2) a 1d code 39 barcode for us to scan to place the data in the filename.  1d scanners won't scan the QR by accident.

I don't know if this will work with foolography entagged in the copyright field.
