We have an uploader that pushes images from our Dam to tms. It puts them in folders by date Transferred to tms. The uploaded is a combo of a dam asset action and script that preps the media loader access db.

Hi, I am looking for any advice from TMS institutions that use DAMS. We are in the middle of an integration project, Extensis/TMS, and would like to know how other places organize their image folders. Our initial thought was to organize by object ID, each object having its’ own folder, the most recent recommendation is a directory structure that is chronological – date of capture.

I’m going to bring in an extra body to work on the file migrations, but it’s going to take a lot of searching (since the image files don’t have date information embedded in metadata, I expect the person will have to cross reference TMS to decide where to move images). Do you know of anyone who has the right combination of skills and would be interested in a temporary position? We can’t implement the TMS scripting until the directories are restructured, so I want to get this going quickly.
