Simplified data ingestion and labeling

Feature Description:
Option to have the Label name applied to an image file based upon the files source folder name

Project ID:
907771

Context/Use case:
Data used in the project was grouped into named folders, with individual image files having no useful nor consistent name data. It would have been useful to ingest images and apply a label to each image based upon the name of their source folder.

Problem to be Solved:
Allow for quick ingestion of data that’s not been given useful file names

Proposed Solution:
Offer an option to label each file using the name of its source folder.

Expected Benefits:
Fast Ingestion and labeling of data in one action.

Potential Impact:
Speed up project setup

Hi @DJE666
I’ll pass this feature request on to the team. As a workaround for now you may find it useful to upload each subfolder with a fixed label:

Alternatively for larger projects I often upload using our ingestion API and a short python script- giving much more flexibility in how you structure your dataset and the ability to append metadata: Ingestion API - Edge Impulse Documentation
