Changing file names in the Information Pane

Why doesn't changing the names of photographs in the Information Pane also change the name of the files in the iPhoto Library folder??
If I import photos direct from my camera, the photos are stored with generic file names (like DSC_006) in the Original Folder and the Data folder in iPhoto Library folder. Once stored there, I understand that if you move, delete or "rename" any of those files "in the Finder" that iPhoto may not thereafter be able to see them.
But I don't understand why if you change those file names in the Information Pane from within the iPhoto application, why the actual file names in the Original and Data folder aren't correspondingly changed.
I would prefer to eliminate the generic file names and presently the only way that I can do that is to simply transfer the photos from the memory cards, change the file names and then import the files into iPhoto.
This seems like an unnecessary step.
Am I missing something here?

If you want the capability of editing the original file names they you'll need to upgrade to a more professional application like iView MediaPro. Aperture doesn't let you change the original file names from within the application.
If you need to the use file outside iPhoto with the same name as the Title in iPhoto then you can do just as PhillyPhan pointed out, export to the Desktop using the User Title option.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Changing file names in the Finder

    Hi,
    Is there a way to change the names of video files in the Finder then relink them in FCPX? I have some files that I imported from my camera. Unfortunately, the camera's date was incorrect. I'd like to change the file names via the Finder to the correct dates, then relink them to the associated projects in Final Cut Pro X. However, this doesn't seem possible: when I relaunch FCPX, the "new" files appear alongside the old files in the event library and there doesn't seem to be a way to relink them.
    thanks,
    fh

    You can't relink files in FCPX. Best way to rename clips is within FCPX itself.
    final
    Batch rename clips using a naming preset
    1. In the Event Browser, select the clips you want to rename.
    2. To open the Info inspector, click the Inspector button in the toolbar (shown below), and click the Info button at the top of the pane that appears.
    3. Choose Apply Custom Name from the Action pop-up menu          and choose a naming preset from the submenu.
    The clips selected in the Event Browser are renamed.

  • How do I reconnect media after changing file name?

    The original file name is 1001.WAV I changed it to Take1 . How do I relocate the files? I use Pluraleyes to sync all my files.
    Cheers, Greg

    Change it back.  NEVER change file names in the Finder level if the media is in an FCP project.  Change it BEFORE you import it into FCP...or change the name IN FCP.  What you did was bad bad wrong wrong. Expecially since you already did things like sync it up with pluraleyes.
    Change it back.  Then change the name in FCP.

  • Programaticly changing the (suggested only) file name in the save prompt when signing a document?

    When you sign a document in Adobe X (or XI), the system says it needs to save the file first.   Is there some way to change the (suggested only) file name to a different value for that save?
    Right now, people open a blank form - lets call it formX.pdf.   They fill it in and sign it.  The suggested file name for the save is FormX.pdf.   I can generate a unique file name which i'd like to put in place of the suggested default...

    AFAIK, you can't do it with code. Your best option might be to use a form field to show a message to the user when they sign the document with that information.

  • Changing of the physical file name of the file after archiving

    Hi all,
    We are in process of archiving  and  completed the process successfully and archived to o:\PRODSID\<filename>.
    When refresh   is happening from Prod to Quality   the archived data will come as O:\PRODSID\<filename> and the archived files will not be accessible since quality system  is not able to find the path with O:\PRODSID\<filename>.
    Is there anyway i can change the physical file name  of the archived files to correct path O:\QUALITYSID\<filename>, i need to change only the SID  only    from PRD to QUALITY.
    Thanks,
    Subhash.G

    Hi Subash,
    Do you want change the Physical File name or the Path from PROD to SID.
    Path :- in the transaction called FILE, double click on Logical Path Definition , select the Logical File and double click on "Assignment on Physical Path to Logical Path" and you can change FILENAME also here

  • Is it possible to change file name policy in the JRE cache folder?

    We are getting calls from our clients complaining of slowdowns in loading our Java applet. The reason is a virusscanner. If a virusscanner is in the middle, it can drastically slow down the download process, and therefore cause some high delay before the user can work on the our product as expected.
    On this csutomer's side, it may take up to 10 min (the first time it is ran) instead of 1 min. JRE 1.6 is in use.
    They dont want to exclude from antivirus scan all files from Sun\Java\Deployment\cache folder.
    Question:
    Is it possible to change file name policy in the JRE cache to make it less unique?

    I suggest you solve the real problem - big files.
    There are two scenarios
    1. Initial download
    2. Updates.
    The first takes as long as it takes. No way around it.
    The second means that you can't use one jar. Otherwise every single update requires downloading the entire application every time. Multiple jars means only the one that changed is downloaded.

  • Changing file Name

    Hello,
    I need to change the file name for images I am using in a website I am building with iWeb. The file names for the images cannot include any special characters. I have tried to change the file name as suggested through iPhoto Help. It seems to work but when I use the image in my site, the file information is still the old file name. I have also tried dragging the image to my desktop, then changing the file name through the file's information page, then importing it back into iPhoto and or just dragging it onto the web page I am creating and every time the file name reverts back to the original. Help please

    I painstakingly renamed a group of photo files in iPhoto9, changing titles on each of the 85 images to a numeric string (001 thru 085), to get them to display consecutively.
    Never noticed the Photos -> Batch Change command?
    EVERY time I burn to a disk, POOF!, each individual image reverts to its original file name (either the original name created in the camera, or the original names on images a colleague e-mailed).
    It doesn't "revert". A title is not a filename.
    What you need to do is select the pics in the iPhoto Window and the go File -> Export. IN the resulting dialogue look at the bottom and note the File Name option: from the dropdown select 'Use Title'
    That'll do what you want.
    Regards

  • ADE changes file names

    The book I downloaded has each chapter as a seperate .pdf, each with it's own unique filename. ADE has retitled every chapter (.pdf) to the name of the book. Now that all the chapters have the same name, I can't transfer them to my Kobo. How do I change titles or get ADE to stop changing file names?

  • Globally removing an illegal symbol from file names in the finder

    I recently discovered that my method of dating files makes use of the illegal symbol, '/'. Now I have thousands of files with that symbol in them and am having trouble transferring them to my new hard drive. Is there a was that I can globally remove that symbol from the file names via the finder?

    Hi
    download filelist.dmg
    Double click on it to open it. Drag the Filelist app' into your Application Folder, a good a place as anywhere to keep it.
    Open the FileList application, it should show as a window.
    Drag a file or a group of files onto that open window- the left hand side pane.
    ... and there you can manipulate the prefix and suffix of the files to give them new file names.
    Create a file in text edit, type something in it, save is as test.rtf, and then drag it into the FileList app and experiment with changing its name.
    When you get the hang of it, do a group of files as a batch.
    I tried to do what you wanted to do in your initial post and was successful, so just have a play around with it.

  • ITunes will not open and tells me to use the "information" to open in 32 bit rather than 64. but the information pane does not offer that option ...

    I am trying to open my iTune 10.4 on my mac mini which is running OS 10.6.8, and I get the message that I need to use the information pane to open in 32-bit rather than 64. But the information pane does not offer this option. I'm in a vicious circle of opening, getting this message, then having to close. Did this come about after the June update of iTunes? And if so, why haven't they fixed it? And what can I do? You'd think Apple would want be to be able to spend my money in their store ...

    Try following steps and test one at a time:
    1. Restart computer, right mouse click iTunes icon and select "Run As Administrator"
    2. If that does not work, check to see if this file APSDaemon.exe is the problem here.
    Close your iTunes.
    Press Ctrl-Alt-Del key and choose Task Manager. In the "Processes" Tab, select the file APSDaemon.exe and click End Prosses button, then close the task manager window.
    Now open itunes and see if it is working?
    If that works, to prevent having to do the same process everytime you restart Windows, go to. START button, type in
    MSCONFIG
    Hit ENTER
    Click STARTUP Tab, Uncheck "Apple Push", click OK.
    Restart Windows.
    3. If that fails or you don't see ApsDaemon.exe in the Processes, refer to following article to remove SC files:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2363
    4. If that fails, repair or reinstall your Quicktime. START / CONTROL PANEL / PROGRAMS N FEATURES / hightlight QUICKTIME and click REPAIR.

  • Dynamic File Name - Suppress the Substitue varible

    Hi All,
    I am doing the scenarios like File name at the recevier end would be dynamic for that i take an extra field NAME mapped with UDF which return the file name dynamically. It is working fine and doing good. But the problem here is , this field is the first field in my target structure so i am getting an empty line in the target file.
    So My structure as follows:
    <b>MT_BNK01           1..1
      NAME                1..1
      RECORD             0..Unbound
          --Record_data  0..Unbound</b>
    So in the recever side i written as follows
    Recordset Structure:: RECORD
    <b>RECORD.fieldSeparator = 'nl'
    RECORD.endSeparator = 'nl'</b>
    But according to this weblog i can suppress the empty line but it is not working
    /people/sravya.talanki2/blog/2005/08/11/solution-to-the-problem-encountered-using-variable-substitution-with-xi-sp12
    means, NAME is also in the same level of RECORD in the Structure. So How can i pass the structure as ??
    I tried to pass the RecordSet Structure: NAME,RECORD
    and following parameters, it is not working
    <b>NAME.fieldFixedLength =0
    NAME.fieldLengthTooShortHandling = Cut</b>
    Can you please  suggest me what could be the reason. Tell me what information i need to pass the RecordSet Structure and attrubute information also.
    One more thing like, My sender side it is not picking the empty lines. What could be the reason. I given fieldSeparator and endSeparator as 'nl'. So to catch the empty line what i need to do???
    Thanks in Advance,
    Best Regards,
    Vijay

    Hi Vijaya,
    This can be solved. Actually i had the same scenario where i was getting blank line for the header. Suppose Header was carrying the file name after i cut the value i would get a blank line in file.
    So i added in content conversion parameter the following line
    Header.endSeparator - '0'
    then the first line was not blank.
    Try this, i think your issue will be solved

  • Should the web page address be included in the file name in the meta data dialog box?

    In the page properties > meta data > below is a field with the label file name: (the the area to type in the field), after the field, it is labeled .html.
    I have 2 questions here.
    1. If I type in http//:www (my page url), do I include .html at the end? I didn't know if this is automatically added because it is off to the side of the field?
    2. If I type in the entire URL address: http//:www (etc, etc).html,    after closing the page properties dialog box, I make it a habit to double check my work. What happens is the http//:www.xxx changes to (htttpwww.xxx). It drops the //: on the URL.
    So would it be better to just type in www.xxx (without the http//:www.xxx)
    and do you type in the .html at the end?
    I am assuming this will help with SEO page ranking or at least makes it easier for the search engines to crawl your site??
    I hope this makes sense.
    Advise would be very helpful.
    Ben

    You are absolutely correct with the URL Ben. Taking your above example, you just need to type in "Services" in the file name and the webpage will be exported as services.html and the URl will be  www.xyz.com/services.html.
    All the webpages (be it parent page or child page) gets physically saved at the root directory of your website on the server (where your website resides).
    This name is just the name of the file using which it is physically stored and called from the server. It does not help search Engines to crawl deeper inside the website.
    As I explained, "name which you wants the .html file to be stored with" here means the name of the physical file which is getting saved on the server.
    Most users leave the file name same as Page name. If you have it different from page name then this will be the workflow :
    Page Name : About
    File Name : test
    domain : www.mysite.com
    Now if you are  using a Menu Widget, it will list "About" in the Menu. And when end user will click on "About" then it will call the file named "test.html" from the server location (where all the files of your website are stored).
    And it will open a page with address "www.mysite.com/test.html"
    Hope I am able to explain the concept of File Name here. Please let us know if you have further queries on this.
    Regards,
    Sachin
