Seeking to import fuji RAW (.raf) file names into Filemaker Pro or into text file
Can anyone help me figure out how to import at least the file names from a Fuji .raf file into Filemaker Pro? We use PC version but even Mac version will not import from RAW files.
Alternatively any option that will look at a folder of RAW files and output a text file of ANY kind would be all I need!
Importing all data would be even better but my immediate issue is importing the names.
Thanks!

Hi picturechaser,
hope I get you write ...
In order to generate a list of filenames with native PC means, open a command prompt (DOS shell), change into your folder with RAWs and launch the command
DIR /B > output.file
which redirects output to the file "output.file"
If there exists subfolders avoid their listing by launching
DIR /B /A:-D > output.file
For listing a special file format only (.raf) use
DIR /B /A:-D *.raf > output.file
Putting all this together, alternativly you can write this command slighty altered into a text-file, save it f.e. as "filelisting.bat" and run it against one or more folders - the output of every launch will be append to the output file.
With a text editor paste the following in a new file and save it as "c:\filelisting.bat" - mind the suffix "bat" and remember where you save it, here c:\ ;-)
DIR /B %1 /A:-D *.raf >> %2
Launch filelisting.bat (DOS shell or START => Run) like this
c:\filelisting.bat foldername_with_raws output.file
where the fullpath incl. driveletter have to be submited for "foldername_with_raws" and "output.file" f.e. :
c:\filelisting.bat m:\my_images d:\outfile_my_images.txt

Use Plugin from troi.com, which will dump a delineated directory list into a field.
Another will let you write it to a text file, then just import the file.
You can use in trial mode for 30 days, after that, there is inserted delay and such, but actually minor nuisance. Once you decide, you can of course buy.
I use this all the time. There are other clunky workarounds, but this works very well.
