Can you describe what the issue is you’re experiencing?
We started using Flukebook to help with the photo-identification of northern bottlenose whales last year. After we finished matching in Flukebook and downloaded the resulting matches/IDs, we then double-checked all matches using a photo viewing software (Lightroom). We ended up making quite a few changes to the IDs, based on re-examination of multiple photographs in greater detail than was possible on Flukebook (e.g., merging IDs that were assumed to be “new” based on the lack of a Flukebook, but that actually existed in the catalogue). Not a big deal, as we’d expect the software or user error in Flukebook to result in some misses.
However, we’ve not got a new batch of photographic data ready to process. Is there a way to update the IDs in Flukebook with our corrected metadata (i.e., fixed IDs) prior to processing the new data? Unfortunately there are too many changes to do this manually without a lot of additional work. We have a list of all unique filenames and correct IDs, if that helps.
Thanks very much in advance for any thoughts on this!
