Custom File Renaming Template Keeps Changing

I'm having issues when creating a custom file naming template in Tiger with LR 1.3.1.
When importing files, I created a custom template to rename the files with YYMMDD_{original file suffix}{Master}.tif to get this: 071217_12056Master.tif. The first import goes fine. But when I import another batch of files and choose the template all I get is 071217_Master.tif.
I tried creating the template by hitting F2 to rename the photo and get the same results. The really odd thing is that some of the other templates have their characteristics jumbled around so that what I thought was the "orig file-name" template might actually produce something like 071217_.tif.
The original file suffix suffers the worst in terms of disappearing without cause. This behavior was occurring in the 1.2 ver. as well. I've deleted every single template thru the editor, recreated them again and still get the errors.
Hopefully someone here can provide some clues?
Thank you!

It sounds as though your import preset either isn't working or wasn't setup correctly.
Using the full screen import panel, make sure Copy or Move is selected and then select your Import Preset....what does the File Renaming panel look like? "Rename Files" should be ticked, Template should read "Custom Settings" (or the specific rename preset if you've saved it) and the sample should show the correct rename format, like so:
So does yours look like this, or different?

  • How to updates file when template is changed

    Hello fellow dw users..
    Is there somebody whocan help me. My problem is that I
    created my website by using a template,
    now I need to chagne the color and some background images on
    my template after updating the template
    how would I let all my web pages be affected and follow and
    use the updated the template instead of the old one? hope you can
    help me . thanks a lot!!

    When you save the changed template, all changes to
    NON-editable regions are
    automatically propagated to all local child pages of that
    template. Is that
    not happening for you?

  • Limited batch file renaming options?

    When batch-renaming a group of files, (currently using LR4 under Mac OS X 10.6.8) I can't see any way to do a simple sequential increment of a file number. For example, my files are typically numbered in the format "D 123456." I want to rename a new batch as D 123457, D 123458, D 123459, D 123460 etc. I cannot see an option in LR that will do that — all choices involve sequencing with -1, -2, -3 etc., or else "1 of 4" or dates or other non-useful (to me) text. Am I missing something or is this seemingly very simple thing impossible in LR? (My old MS Expression Media management application is far superior in this respect: I have total flexibility in file renaming.) Thanks for any advice.

    I know where you're coming from, I still have a copy of Media Pro and it comes in handy sometimes. But there's no reason to prematurely judge Lightroom in this area. If you study the file renaming template editor you'll find that you can quickly customize the tokens and enter custom text in a way that'll generate the sequence you want:
    The reason Lightroom puts in a dash is ensure compatibility with multiple file systems. But it's an option you can turn off. Note that this is in the Preferences dialog box because it affects any time Lightroom names or renames a file.
    There's only one major way in which Lightroom batch renaming falls short: You can't batch find and replace text within the filename. Media Pro, Bridge, and many other free/cheap utilities can, but of course renaming files outside of Lightroom is not a good idea. Other than that, Lightroom can usually rename files as needed. In most other ways Lightroom is far better than Media Pro ever was.

  • Custom File Info Panels Doc Available !!

    Documentation for creating your own custom file info panels is available at:
    http://www.adobe.com/products/xmp/custompanel.html
    I'm interested in hearing your feedback!
    The custom File Info panel for XMP metadata allows you to define, create, and manage custom metadata properties using standard Adobe applications. You can do this by creating a Custom Panel Description file, and placing it in a common location referenced by Adobe applications that support this feature. You can also supply localization dictionary files to localize the contents of your Custom Panel Description files. The resulting custom dialog panel is seen by users when they select the File Info menu option.
    The File Info panel allows you to support paths to metadata properties which are not defined in default or other standard XMP schemas, but are needed for your application, company, or industry. By using XMP for that metadata, you take advantage of the potential of XMP for interchange and participation in asset management systems, while providing the ability to use standard Adobe applications to manage it.

    Mark,
    The PDF/A extension schema provides a big step to the self-sufficient functionality that you are asking about. It permits the XMP schema description information of custom XMP schemas to be embedded into the XMP as payload so that the file can be opened in years to come and the target metadata acurately interperted. Currently, PDF tools are active candidate to make use of this facility. However, there is nothing preventing future use with other file formats, and other tools (via plug-ins?).
    It does not include vocabulary, static text, and panel presentation layout information.
    http://www.pdfa.org/doku.php
    It defines a "known" subset of standard XMP properties from the 2001 XMP Spec. Everything else is "custom".
    You could craft a custom File Info "template" with the PDF/A extension for your custom XMP fields. Then import the template into each file.
    The PDF/A extension schema itself is implemented with multi-dimensional XMP arrays. MetaGrove Plug-in dialog screen shots can be viewed on http://www.poundhillsoftware.net/Acrobat.htm

  • Bridge Photo Downloader File Rename convention

    I use a custom file rename preset (YYMMDD + TEXT + FILE NUMBER SUFIX) in BR CC. This custom preset is not available in the Adobe Bridge CC Photo Downloader Reneame Files drop down menu. Neither is the custom preset formula availble in the advanced rename dialog.
    I end up importing files with the Bridge Photo Downloader (Do not rename files) and then rename files using the Bridge Batch Rename saved preset.
    Is there a way to add a custom file rename convention which is not availble in the Bridge Photo Downloader?
    The idea is to rename files during the file ingestion process.

    Omke
    Thanks for the idea. I tried that but it didn't work. The exact same problem happened again with what appears to be the same crash log: Thread 18 Crashing (see below for that specific section)
    Additionally now in the last week I am experiencing Bridge crashing 1-3x/day regardless of the Photo Downloader.
    Adobe, please advise.
    Thanks

  • Is there a date entry widget for XMP custom file info panels?

    Looking through the Custom File Info Panels documentation, the samples, and the default info panels presented in Photoshop, I can't find any reference to a date entry widget - the closest I've seen is the date_static_text widget.
    Is there any way to present an editable, validating date entry field to our end-users through the File Info panel?
    (the info we're wanting to store is a release date so it's user-specified, and not derivable from the file in any way)

  • XMP Custom File Info Panels

    I've downloaded the new XMP Custom File Info Panels software. I installed the sample xmp panel descripter files in the proper location. Is it possible to view the customized metadata on a computer that doesn't have the descripter files? I hope the descriptor files get imbedded in the image with the customized xmp metadata.

  • Com.apple.alf.plist file keeps changing group membership

    Hey All, I've read several discussions about this issue.  The com.apple.alf.plist file keeps changing group membership from admin to wheel.  Disk Utility repair changes the group membership to admin but it will change back to wheel during normal use of the computer, it seems that accessing systempreferences.app and security preferences will change the group to wheel. 
    I don't really want to get into a discussion about the wheel account, unless necessary, but since this is a very important system settings file I'd like it to work correctly.  I have noticed several issues with the firewall not responding as expected such as turning off by itself, and app settings changing or disappearing from the security preference pane.  So, I have deleted the plist file and restarted as recommended on other discussions but the issue always returns during normal use.  I think it might be the application owning the plist file causing the issue, but I am not sure which one owns the plist file.  I assume it would be systempreference.app since I think it is a firewall plist file. The permissions for systempreferences.app is strange also; 
    - everyone - custom
    - system    - read/write
    - wheel      - read/write
    - everyone  -read
    This may be the culprit but I tried to make a minor change, so as not to mess up the operating system, and disk utility repair permissions just puts it back the way it was.   Any ideas about this would be very appreciated.
    Note:  I have done a complete system reinstall and the issue still returns.

    OK, Since I haven't gotten any responses about this it must be a complicated issue.  Just as a quick check could some of you good people out there look at the "Get Info" window for the systempreferences.app and see if your permissions look like mine?  I'm still having trouble with the firewall settings not acting as expected such as apps and processes that I have approved/denid connection access not showing up in the firewall pane of system preferences and having to reapprove each startup.  Thank you in advance for any help on this.

  • Custom batch rename files with Aperture 3 in the following format: IMG_0023.cr2 to Smith_YYMMDD_0023.cr2?  I cannot find a way to structure the date in Aperture as such, as well as extract only the camera file

    Please advise how to custom batch rename files with Aperture 3 in the following format: IMG_0023.cr2 to Smith_120816_0023.cr2?  I cannot find a way to structure the date in Aperture as such (YYMMDD), as well as extract only the camera file (0023, for example).  Adobe Bridge CS5 can do this, but NONE of the Adobe software is retina optimized, and is terrible to look at.

    In Aperture you are limited to renaming files by the entries in the File Naming preset window.
    At what point are you looking to rename, import or export? It might be possible to do what you are looking to do external to Aperture either via a script or other software.

  • 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.

  • DFS File Hash Keeps Changing?

    First some background:
    2 DFS Servers running Storage Server 2008 w/ SP2
    Both servers are in a replication group that replicates a folder in the namespace to both servers.
    The servers are in different AD sites connected by a fast WAN connection.
    The replication schedule is set to 24/7
    The problem I am having is that the replication backlog never catches up.  The backlog is currently at 1,900,000+ files but only from SERVER1 -> SERVER2.  Replication from SERVER2 -> SERVER1 is successful with no backlog.  The majority
    of file changes are made on SERVER1.  After troubleshooting this for a week or so trying to find out why the backlog keeps increasing I've found the following:
    The file hashes on SERVER1 are different than the file hashes on SERVER2 when checked with the DFSRDIAG FILEHASH command.  The hashes are different even on files with the same modified date, NTFS permissions, and size.
    If I run a robocopy and copy files from SERVER1 to SERVER2 the hashes are the same.
    Files I've added as recently as 3/31/2014 with no changes made since have different hashes on both servers which is causing DFS to try to replicate them even though it doesn't need to.
    It seems like something is causing the file hashes to change on every single file in the replicated folder on one of the servers.  I've checked the antivirus (TrendMicro) and it is supported on DFS and isn't even configured to run any scheduled scans.
     I'd like to reseed SERVER2 via robocopy so the hashes are all the same again but I'm afraid that same problem will just happen again.
    Does anyone have any idea why the file hashes would be changing even if the file timestamp, permissions, size, etc the same?

    I've pre-staged all 4TB of files with robocopy and checked the hash on 100 or so files on both servers to make sure they are matching.
    After pre-staging I recreated the replication group and replicated folder.  I am currently waiting on initial sync.  The backlog is currently 2,000,000+ files and hasn't gone down much at all in the past 12 hours.
    SERVER1 is set as the primary and SERVER2 is showing that it is waiting to perform initial replication (Event ID 4102.
    How long should the initial sync take if all of the files have been pre-seeded?  I can't really tell if this is working or not.
    I'm also seeing these errors in the debug logs:

  • Difficult to Rename Files (Finder windows keep Refreshing)

    Has anyone else noticed how difficult it is to rename files in a folder? It is almost as if Leopard's Finder keeps refreshing (or building thumbnails) or something. Here is my scenario:
    - Browse to a folder (in my case a folder with large files)
    - Hit enter on a file and start renaming the file
    - After 1-2 seconds, finder jumps out of edit mode by itself (as if the page somehow refreshed)
    - Hit enter again and keep on editing
    - 1-2 seconds later, jumps out of edit mode again.
    - Leave the window for 20-30 seconds
    - Then hit enter, then it is easy to rename the file.
    - Thereupon, immediately try to edit the next file, and bam, it exits edit mode after 1-2 seconds (almost as if the previous file rename triggered a 'refresh this entire view' event)
    It is incredibly annoying to attempt to rename a bunch of files with Leopard.

    Ah - I cant seem to get into the habit of "get info" to rename my files. It seems counter productive.
    Is there any other workaround / fix to make the finder stop jumping me out of renaming a file?
    It is incredibly annoying. I will get a few characters typed in, and it will jump out of editing... and then to add insult to injury, the folders is updated and the file jumps to its new alphabetical location in the list - So I have to go find the partially named file to finish the job.
    People ask me if I like Windows or Mac. I say both have benefits and weaknesses. Renaming files is one of my Mac's weaknesses - it seems. It shouldn't be - it is a basic part of an operating system.
    Help!

  • Why do you keep changing my customized settings?

    When I make customized preferences to the Firefox Browser, you keep changing it to what you want instead of keeping the browser look to what I have selected. Why? I even went by the steps that you have provided on your website; but, you still keep changing it to what you want. I don't appreciate it. Thanks.
