Lightroom2 - camera serial number no longer available to be appeneded to filename?

[bflynn02035]

Lightroom 2 no longer seems to offer an option to append the camera s/n to the filename on import. In Lightroom 1, I used this to eliminate the problem of having dupe filenames when shooting with mulitple cameras. Is this a simple mistake, or a questionable decision? In either case, please return this feature, or offer an alternative strategy to address this problem. Thanks!

bflynn, welcome to LR Forums.

I believe that option is still available. I didn't fire up LR1.x to see where it used to be, but here's where to find it in 2.'

See attached screen cap ....

You're right, there it is...

...but interestingly, that field had gone missing in the Lightroom 2 instance that was running when I made that post (and when I first read your reply). But when I restarted LR2 a little later, there it was. (And nope, havent touched a drop yet today!)

Appreciate the help, and sorry to have wasted your time. (If it happens again I'll report it as a genuine bug.)
