A Nice Way To Automate Individual Photo Passcodes

Just thought I'd offer one way to automate passcode generation for individual photos (school photography) which works for me:
1) From lightroom: import photos and auto-change filenames to say: -{schoolcode}{second}{filename numeric suffix}{minute}-
(schoolcode can be input for each import batch; minutes=time past the hour; second=time past the minute)
2) This generates a filename such as -ccs04012458-.jpg The bit between the "-"s becomes the code.
3) print set of photos as contact sheets from lightroom with filename under each (minus .jpg) on sticky labels
4) send individual pics and codes to parents via school if doing school photography (in envelopes with un-labelled thumbnail on front, labelled thumbnail inside.)
Hope it's useful
