Roll Tracking and Grouping
Group shots into named rolls; create, switch, rename, and delete each one from a chip row above the shot list.
Where to find it
Viewfinder Shot Log chip row above the list
Summary
Rolls are managed entirely from the Shot Log. A chip row at the top of the list shows + New, All, and one chip per existing roll; the selected chip filters the list and the chip carrying a small dot is the active roll new shots will tag to. Tap + New to open a full-screen New Roll dialog (name field plus a Create & activate button). When you are viewing a specific roll the header gains Rename and Delete icons. Renaming uses a small dialog with a pre-filled name field. Deleting opens a full-screen confirmation with two options: Keep the shots (the roll grouping is removed but every shot stays under All) or Delete everything (the roll and every shot it contains, including reference photos, are wiped). Loose shots can be reassigned through Edit shot > Move to.

How it works
What a roll is
A named grouping of shots. You might call it Portra 400 #3, Camp Sweden, or Studio Test #1. The roll records the film stock and camera format you had loaded at create time, so every shot inside the roll later carries that context.
Creating a roll
Open the Shot Log and tap the + New chip above the list. The New Roll dialog gives you a Name field and a Create & activate button. The roll inherits your current film stock and format. From the moment you tap Create, every new shot you log gets tagged with this roll until you switch to a different one.
Active vs. viewing
Two states travel with rolls. The active roll (marked with a small dot in the chip row) is the one new shots will tag to. The viewing roll (marked with a filled chip) is the one currently filtering the list. They are usually the same. Tap any roll chip to make it both active and the current view. Tap All to view every shot across every roll without changing which roll is currently active.
Renaming a roll
View a roll (tap its chip), then tap the pencil icon in the header. A small Rename roll dialog opens with the current name already filled in. Type the new name and tap Rename. Empty names are rejected.
Deleting a roll
View a roll and tap the trash icon in the header. A full-screen Delete roll dialog shows the roll name and shot count, then offers two outlined options. Keep the shots removes the roll grouping while leaving every shot under All. Delete everything wipes the roll along with every shot inside it (and their reference photos). The destructive option is rendered in error red so it cannot be confused with the safer one.
Loose shots
Anything logged without an active roll lands in the All filter with no roll tag. Open any loose shot's Edit shot dialog and use Move to > Portra 400 #3 (or any other roll) to reassign it. Move to > All (no roll) puts it back to loose.
Exporting by roll
The CSV export includes a rollId column on every row, so once your shots are out of the app you can filter, sort, or group them by roll in Lightroom, Numbers, Google Sheets, or any spreadsheet tool.
