Automatically apply title to file name?

I've got a number of files / radio shows (m4a format) for which I have set the title manually.
However, their file names are still of the form
Lilipuz Kinderhoerspiel-ep09.m4a
or similar.
Does anybody know of an automatic way to make the title appear in the filename?
Like an applescript maybe?
Best regards,
Gabriel.

How did you set the track name manually?
You changed the ID3 tag?
If you have iTunes prefs -> Advanced - *Keep iTunes music folder organized* ticked and the files are in the iTunes folder shown in iTunes prefs -> Advanced, then play the song.
iTunes will read the ID3 info and upadte the filename.
This script -> Artist and Track to Filename v2.7
allows you to copy the track name to the file name.

Batch document title from file name?

Forgive the newb question on a fairly simple matter.
I want to create File Info: Document Titles from file names, minus the extension, for about 400 images.
Is this possible with Batch rename, if so what am I missing?
Thanks,

I am unclear how a batch rename will enter data into File Info: Document Title.
I have never used them but you might look at metadata templates. Several sites on web on how to set them up and what they will do for you.

How to set "Title" as "File Name" in iPhoto 5?

iPhoto lets you batch rename the title for your photo library of a given roll. So if you have say "Vacation" you can set title to all the photos in there as Vacation -1 , Vacation -2 etc. etc. But, this is just the title for iphoto database. The actual filename will still be as IMG_xxx.jpg (or whatever is default in your digital camera).
Is there a way to set the Title as File name ?? I already have 1000+ photos iphoto and title is all set as my Roll Name - xx . But it will be great to have file names set as the title too.
I think I can batch rename in Image Capture before downloading the files, but then I have to again import those in iPhoto , so its two step process and inconvenient.
So, does anyone know how to set File name as Title ( you can only do other way around in iPhoto, I think) ? Any script available which can read iPhoto title and set the file name as Title? Thanks.

Hi kothrush,
You must rename in the Finder first, before importing into iPhoto.
You cannot do it after importing into iPhoto. Well, you can. You can share export the renamed images to the desktop. Delete the ones in iPhoto, then import the renamed ones back into iPhoto. That's a lot more steps.
Whatever you do, you cannot rename any images in the Finder that are already in the iPhoto Library or iPhoto will lose the link to the images.

Create Title from File Name

Is there a way to automatically transfer the file name to the title of the image? Can it be done with a script in the export cations folder? If it can, does anyone have a script?

Hi Serhat,
Are you perhaps missing a "return" on the 4th line of your pathOfFile method?
Cheers,

Acrobat Pro X Replaces Document Title with File Name

We process many Microsoft Word Documents into PDF. Whether or not this is the correct way to process them we use the new "Action" previously a Batch Process.
We require our documents to open "Full Width" so we run the created Action which converts the Word files to PDF and sets them to open width.
In the previous version of Acrobat (9) this worked fine. But the current version strips the document title out of the Word document and replaces it with the file name in the PDF. eg. If the title of the document set in the properties of world.doc is "Changing the world", when the action created the PDF its stripped and replaced with "world.doc"
This of course means that we must now take the time to change the title of each document so that the search engine on our intranet can correctly list it. As you can imagine a time consuming process, which until this update never had to be done.
Alternatively is there a better way to convert large numbers of Word documents to PDF that will keep all of this information intact?
Many thanks
Murray

Actions are not really intended for that type of work:
Actions allow a complex, guided series of events to be applied to a single file, usually with some user interactivity. They can be run over and over but usually only process one file at a time. In the example we show based on redaction, this guided interactivity is essential as only a human can decide what to redact in each document.
Batch processing applies a standard set of events to a series of files, usually without any user interactivity beyond selection and filename choices.

How do I stop Illustrator automatically adding numbers to file name when exporting with artboard?

I need to export with artboard. Illustrator automatically adds a number to my original file name. It won't even let me replace the old file. It is extremely annoying and makes flow with other programs really hard because they can't auto update, since the file name changes. When you have multiple files, you can't be manually renaming all the time. Anyone knows how to fix this? Thanks.

This has been discussed a few times, and here is a summary of the usual solutions.
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2989508#2989508
What is it EXACTLY you are trying to do. Are you trying to export a single page from filename.ai and make it filename.psd, (without any number afterwards). In that case you could delete the extra artboards prior to export, and then you won't have to checked use artbaords as there is only one page. Otherwise I would plan ahead so your end result will be filename-01.jpg, filename-02.jpg, and then everytime you use export artbaords those names will replace.
I am happy with the function as is, and would prefer to have a serial number automatically after the name when checking use artboards. But sounds liek you and others desire more options and thte ability to turn off adding to the filename.

Automatically Apply Keywords when file is added to folder?

I am learning to love Bridge, but the more I learn, the more I see it's shortcomings. I love the idea of automation and I use it a lot but Bridge does seem to fall a little short in the area. I could not find a way to do this so I can only hope they will add features. I want to have Bridge automatically apply keywords to any file that exists, or is added to a folder. This would save a lot of time. It seems Bridge is perfectly suited to this kind of thing, so I really hope they add some automation features!

The meaning was: Lightroom is oversized (to only buy it) for adding keywords to files. Not everyone has bought Lightroom, not everyone uses CC.
sinrise: Please give an example where Bridge can automate something. I don't know of any. Everything you do is initiated by mouse clicks.

When saving to SharePoint 2010, we want Word to use document title for file name

We have a template and custom Document information Panel.
In the panel we select a few values to filter the selection list of document numbers. After selection of document number the title is populated from an external list of document numbers with titles.
On initial save, the suggested file name provided by word is not the title that is already populated. If we cancel, and click save a second time the title is now the suggested file name.
Is there a workaround or fix for this issue either for sharepoint or word? To make it use the title information on the initial save attempt?
Thanks in advance,
Chris.

Hi Chris,
Do you use SharePoint Designer Workflow to get and populate the document’s file name?
If so, the issue is caused by delayed Workflow.
For a workaround, you can create an event receiver with ItemAdding method for getting and populating the document’s file name.
For more information, you can refer to the article:

ITunes 9.0.2. replaced song titles with file names

I just updated iTunes to 9.0.2. When iTunes was restarted, it went through quite a long time updating my library. Then, I found the titles of some songs were replaced with their file names. This is not nice! Does anybody else have the same problem?

Did you somehow solve the problem? I have the same problem ...

How do I get PDF files to *automatically* save as the file name provided by the source?

When I download a PDF file in Firefox, the file name changes from whatever name source used (e.g, important-report.pdf) to a miscellaneous group of characters (e.g., X2ba5zt.pdf). I often want to save the file using the 'source' name. I realize that can so do by changing the file name, but I would like to know if there is a way to set the default so that the source file name is used.

I am not seeing that behaviour. If I right-click a link to a .pdf file, I get the file saved with the original filename.
Maybe one of the settings in about:config controls that?
pdfjs.previousHandler.preferredAction is a setting that has a value of 4 with my setup. I have no idea what that means, and I could not find any explanation anywhere. You could try using different numbers for that value and see if any make any difference. Why has nobody bothered to explain that setting anywhere?

How to name a pdf file automatically with the current file name

We constantly pick up old ID files, save as, revise and rename. The problem is that when I pdf ID remenbers the original file name not the new one. Is there a way for it to select the new name without retyping it.

ID will change the PDF name with the name change of the file until you change the PDF name manually. At that point you're stuck with it.
To clear it out, export to IDML, open and save with the appropriate name and NEVER change the PDF name again. If you do, don't save the InDesign file afterward.

Automate exports and imports (file names)

Hi all,
I will like to do a simple export and import into another schema in another database.
I am very comfortable with the process but all i require is how to set the dump file and log file names to be the date and name of the database being exported and imported.
For example when I do the export I want the dump file and logfile names to be exp_ORCL_230805.dmp and exp_ORCL_230805.log for database ORCL exported on 230805.
For the import I want the logfile name to be imp_TEST_230905.log.
I am doing this export and import on a windows xp client but the database reside on UNIX AIX boxes.
Thanks alot

Set up ORACLE_SID before you start the imp/exp session on the client, then you can use file=exp_%ORACLE_SID%_%DATE%.dmp etc. (Note that if your windows locale has a date format w/ whitespace you might have to write a script to get rid of it..)

AME CC 2014 (latest) when I import a file, the last pre-set I used is automatically applied to the file

And I can't seem to find a way to stop this behavior.
If I control click on the preset below the file in the Queue Pane and select remove, it deletes the preset and the file from the Queue.
Any help appreciated.
thanks
MtD

I seem to recall the previously, when I imported a file into AME, no preset was applied until I selected one. Is that incorrect?
Or is the correct workflow to select the preset, then import the file?
As it is now, I have one extra step if I happen to not want the preset that was applied on import, I need to delete it - after adding the preset I do want. Seems an odd way to work to me.

Is there a way to automatically set the file name in Acrobat Properties when exporting a PDF from Indesign?

When I used Quark to make a PDF, the title area in the PDF was automatically populated with the file name, there in the properties tab. We like use this area to confirm file names of original files, so we can keep track of drafts, (in case the file name of the PDF is changed, which our boss often does). Is there any way to set up InDesign to do the same?

@stadlock – I think I know what you mean…
You exported to PDF and changed the file name in the export dialog to a different one from the document name presented there the first time you exported that document. And in exports after that the new name will be presented in the dialog instead of the name of the document.
What you can do against that?
1. First time you want to export: Save before the document is exported. And do not save after it's exported with a new file name.
2. After the new file name is already there in the export dialog:
Type in the document name in the dialog. Export. Or abort after chosing a export preference. Save. Check again, if the document's file name is in the export dialog. If yes, procede like in suggestion #1. If not do a full export with the document's file name, save and then procede with suggestion #1.
