Batch project rename

Hi everybody!
I've just look around in the forum but I can't find an answer that satisfy my question. I've a lot of project (434 project) named as YYYY_MM_DD - Name of the project. I would rename all as YYYYMMDD-Name of the project. Essentially I would remove the underscore characters and the space before and after the dot-line. Could help me?
Thank you very much.
Edoardo

Hi Edoardo,
There is no way to do this with Aperture's tools.
I use Keyboard Maestro — terrific program — to write macros which rename Projects and then select the next Project.  Works quickly.  The substitutions you want to make are easily handled.  Post back for specifics if you are interested.  Any macro program should work.

  • Batch file rename.  I have multiple files I want to rename, that have a date in their name in the mm/dd/yy format. The slashes seem to freak out the batch rename function.  Any workarounds that would help me avoid manually changing each name?

    OS X Yosemite 10.10.2, Macbook Air,
    Finder batch file rename function. I have multiple files I want to rename, that have a date in their name in the mm/dd/yy format. The slashes seem to freak out the batch rename function and it won't work.  I took out the slashes and worked fine.  Any workarounds that would help me avoid manually changing each name?  I should point out that I want to leave most of the name intact just change the first word in each name.  Also the files I'm working with are in PDF format.

    That's a comment in the file. It has no effect at all.

  • Batch file renaming questions

    Beyond knowing that such a facility exists, I have no knowledge about Bridge scripting. Can it be used to modify the standard batch file rename process in Bridge?
    I would like to rename my Canon Raw images with the date (from EXIF Date Digitised) and a sequence number that resets to zero for each new date. This sequence number should accurately reflect the order in which the images were taken (via the time component of EXIF Date Digitised). I would also like to process all files in a subdirectory structure at the same time.
    The standard Bridge batch rename process does not offer a counter that resets for each new date, nor does it seem to allow processing files in more than one folder at a time.
    Can this be done? Do such scripts already exist? Alternatively, are there any commercial software utilities that can do this? I am already aware of a freeware solution called DIM but am a little worried about putting my faith in something with no guaranteed ongoing support - a concern that would be addressed by a script I can control myself or a properly supported commercial solution.

    Hello? Hello? Is there anyone there?
    Have I posted this question in the wrong forum or is everyone on vacation?

  • DW batch file rename

    Hello Everyone,
    I was wondering if there's a way to do a batch file rename, I
    have a bunch of files that has to be renamed from _e to -eng for
    example if the file is index_e.html I want to change it to
    index-eng.html and update the linked files as well, I'm currently
    doing it one by one using Dreamweaver but is inconvenient.
    Is there a way to do that in Dreamweaver and save the typing?
    Thanks

    Unfortunately, no. You could use Find and Replace with a
    regular
    expression to change the links, but you still need to change
    the file
    names individually or in a third-party program.

  • Batch Resize, Rename & Watermark

    Hi, I was just wondering if you can batch resize, rename & watermark with Aperture? If not then can anyone recommend a piece of software that does have these features?

    "Exporting versions" in Aperture is the 'batch resize' as well as the 'batch rename' function all in one. When you choose to export a batch of images, a dialog box will appear with naming options as well as sizing options (as well as tons of other options).
    I have changed my presets to reflect the size i need on export, then i choose that preset from the export dialog box when it's time to export. I'm pretty sure you can export with a watermark, although I'm not sure.
    I have used TONS of different options to rename and resize, not to mention editing. Aperture does it all. Watch the tutorials, once you get a handle how Aperture works, you will not need anything else.

  • Project renaming and remote topics

    If I change a project name, do I need to update the topic
    links pointing to it in other projects?
    For example, let's say I have the following:
    Project 1: NebraskaProject
    Topic: Omaha
    Project 2: Baseball
    Topic: Omaha Royals
    Let's say I want to rename Project 1 to just "Nebraska",
    using the "File | Rename Project" option from the RoboHelp menu.
    Let's also say that Project 2 has a topic, "Omaha Royals",
    with a (remote topic) hyperlink to a topic in Project 1, "Omaha".
    When I change the name of Project 1, will doing so
    automatically update the remote topic link? Or, will I need to go
    into Project 2, open the Omaha Royals topic, and manually update
    it?

    The project rename option only renames the underlying project
    files (e.g. .hhp, .ali, .hhc, .hhk, etc.) not the actual output or
    topic files. If you are outputting a CHM file you'll find the
    rename process leaves the original CHM file unchanged. For example
    renaming the project NebraskaProject to Nebraska leaves the CHM
    file with it's previous name and therefore the external links do
    not change and will work.

  • Project renames sequence and all clips in the sequence when a clip is added

    My project is renaming my sequences and the clips in those sequences whenever I add a clip. For example, I have a sequence called "dance section 2", which contains 20 some-odd clips with various names. When I add a clip named "drop from above", the name of the sequence is changed to "drop from above", and the name of every other clip in the sequence is also changed to "drop from above" (video, audio, stills, everything). When I add a clip named "spins", all the names are changed to "spins".
    The name of the sequence is changed in both the timeline and the browser, but the names of the other clips are changed only in the timeline. In the browser, they keep their old names. The exception to this is the last clip added before the name changer. For example, if I add "drop from above" to the sequence, and then add "spins", the clip named "drop from above" is renamed "spins" in the browser as well as in the timeline, but the other clips are renamed only in the timeline.
    The clips in the sequence also keep their original content - so the sequence looks the same as it did before, but all the names of the clips are changed.
    This is only happening in one project. All of my other projects are working fine.
    I've tried restarting and deleting preferences. I've also looked at the autosave vault for the project. The backup projects saved after a certain time all behave the same way, and the projects before that time all behave normally. I can't imagine what would have caused this, though, since I've been working on this project all day and nothing's happened to my computer or hard drive or anything.
    Also, there are no freeze frames at the beginnings of my sequences (I read another thread with a somewhat similar issue and getting rid of freeze frames seemed to help that person).
    I'm in FCP 7.0 on a Macbook Pro.
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Welcome to the discussions...
    I've had this happen. My guess is that it's related to round-tripping to/from Color, but I can't be sure. IMHO, the sequence is corrupted. I just dealt with it for a while, then rebuilt it by making changes from an earlier version.
    Sorry I don't have a better solution, but at least you know you're not alone.

  • Batch file rename

    I'm using Aperture (which has a fairly steep learning curve for me).  I'm frustrated with how difficult it is to rename jpg files.  I'm a former Windows user and this is the only regret I have about changing from Windows to Mac.  In Windows you can select all, rename.  That's it.  The complexity of renaming in Aperture feels beyond my comprehension.  Is there a simple way to rename jpg files that I haven't yet discovered?

    Use Metadata->Batch Change to change the names of multiple versions and masters.
    Crete the name format in the Version Name Format pull down and check the Apply to Master Files if you want to change the name of the master file as well as the version.

  • Batch file renaming

    How can I rename a group of files with heterogeneous names?
    I have a series of several hundred images, nealy all of which have unique, unrelated names.  I want to be able to rename them as a batch so they can be imported into quicktime pro to make a slideshow.
    so...
    need to chand bob.jpg, sam.jpg, boat.jpg, 3rt56.jpg to a sequence of newname01, newname02, newname03.jpg.
    The original image files do not have to be in any particular sequence when they are renamed, so it doesn't matter if boat.jpg or sam.jpg is renamed as newname01 - it doesn't matter what order they are presented in the planned quicktime slideshow. 
    I don't see an easy way to get automator to do this.
    Am I just going to have to bite the bullet and buy an app for this?
    Thanks in advance for any help and guidance!

    Thanks for the fast reply, Macjack.  Perhaps my understanding of Automator is too limited, but I don't see a way to completely change file names and to add a numeric sequence on the end of the new file name.  The "name changer" freeware also is limited in this regard - I tried it and couldn't get it to do what I need either.

  • Batch file renaming in Aperture??

    I have need to rename several files as a batch. Aperture can get me 99% of the way there, but there´s one thing I can´t seem to do...
    The naming scheme I need is
    [filname]_[yyyymmdd-hhmmss].jpg
    Where yyyymmdd is year, month, day and hhmmss is hours, minutes, seconds.
    Problem is Aperture puts dashes in the date and time like yyyy-mm-dd and hh-mm-ss. I tried to change is in the ITPC data, but it´s grayed out and says something about needing to be ISO compliant.
    All I need to do is have the file creation dates displayed in the filenames without those dashes.
    Is this possible?
    If so, how?

    under batch change chose edit under the presets drop down ...
    from there create a new by clicking the + in the left side ...
    from the choices on the right click and drag them up to the bar above it ... for your yyyymmdd just chose image year, image month, image day(date), putting them right next to each other no spaces, etc ... if you goof click in the bar and hit backspace ...
    let me know if i can help more, i can make a screenshot and post it to show exactly if needed ...

  • Aperture batch file rename: remove dashes from date?

    Just wondering if it is possible to change the format of the date from YYYY-MM-DD to YYYYMMDD when you rename files as they are imported into Aperture 3? I In Aperture 3, the date format used includes dashes. I would like to have the file renamed without the dashes in the date. Is this possible?
    This question was previously asked and answered in 2010, however Aperture does not seem to have an option for this it the batch rename edit menu. Thanks

    It is not possible in the Aperture naming presets to remove the dashes or in any way change the date format.
    The reason is that it is not possible to access the individual components of the date. When you drag an Image Date or Current Date token to form the filename you can't just get the day or the month or the year which is what you would have to be able to do to remove the dashes.
    There is no technical reason this couldn't be allowed, Apple has just made the decision that it won't be allowed. You can try sending feedback to Apple requesting this, see Aperture->Provide Aperture Feedback.
    It is possible to do what you want either before you import the files or with an Applescript eitehr beforre import or within Aperture.
    For doing it before import you would basically copy the image files from the  camera card to a folder and then import from there. There are several programs that you could use to do the rename, Name Mangler has been mentioned here a few times. I've never used it so I can;t vouch for it.
    As for an in Aperture Applescript solution if you are familair with programming and/or Applescript it isn't to difficult to do but would be easier with some prior knowledge.

  • Batch file rename, in current order?

    After shooting an event, I normally re-sort the images, as some go together better than others. Ultimately, I'm left with a "Manual" sorting. However, when uploading to Zenfolio, the sorting gets lost. Is there a way to batch rename all files, in current order, in a sequence? i.e. instead of DSC_3045, DSC_3055 to IMG_1, IMG_2?

    Yes you could rename the version names so that they are stored this way in Aperture or you could leave the Aperture names alone and just rename on export.
    See the file naming presets for options to add a sequence number to the images as well as many other possibilities.

  • Batch File Rename before OCR

    Hello, I have a semi Doc Mgmt SYstem happening.
    Steps are:
    scan to a network location.
    Run Adobe to regognise text
    save into a new location
    Then manually come alone and open the file, add comments, mets tags, mark up etc etc.  Rename the file, and put in a specific location based on its contents.
    I am trying to make a action to do steps 1/2/3 in batch.   It seems to work all ok, except if there are files in the new location the same name, and of course I do not want to overwrite them, i have just been lazy and not filed them yet.
    Is there a way, I can use JavaScript before step 1, to rename the files in the source location, maybe something like include "YYYY-MM-DD-" at the start of the file name, then they should never have the same file name as a destination file.
    thanks

    P.S:  I am new to Acrobat Pro, as a side question, is there a way to run a Action from outside of Acrobat.  i.e. so I dont have to manually launch acrobat, then select my action, I can just run the action Icon or something like that.

    Hi Dimitri, I looked at this, but it seems to be about stamping the files name, within the contents of the PDF?  i.e. stamping.
    File Name Stamper

    The Acrobat X File Name Stamper Action automates the process of stamping:
    • File Name
    • File Name + Date
    • Document Title
    • User-entered text
    Or am I wrong?
