Folders, backups and patient sorting

Setup you do once. After that the photos file themselves.

The recording is narrated in Czech and the on-screen app is in Czech. The written guide below covers the same ground in English and is the primary version here — an English recording is planned.

What the guide covers

Written guide

  1. Set up folder names

    In Settings → Folders you assemble how a patient folder should be named — name, date, ID, in whatever order suits your practice. A live preview shows the result as you build it, so nothing has to be tried blind.

  2. Set up photo names

    Individual file names are assembled the same way. The photo type is filled in automatically from whatever the software recognised.

  3. Switch on the backup of originals

    The backup keeps untouched originals to one side. It is a precondition for non-destructive edits — without the original there is nothing to return to, and re-saving a JPEG repeatedly costs quality.

  4. Photograph the QR name tag

    Before the series you photograph the patient's QR name tag, generated free by SmileQR. That is how the software knows whose series it is and which folder to create. No typing, no confusing similar surnames.

  5. When a tag cannot be read

    It happens with a blurred or over-exposed frame. The software says so and offers to let you copy the name and ID across by hand; the batch then finishes normally.
