Export Version Name Question

When i use this name format it names the file like in the example. But I noticed the (1 of 1) never changes when I export the second version from this master file. Insead it will name it IMG_7436 (1 of 1) (1).jpg......When will the 1 of 1 change to 2 of 2)? The only way I see to get the exported version number to change is by using the counter in the naming and not the sequence... I dont understand what the sequence name does..Any thoughts?

The sequence number (as well as the index number if you;re using that format) only change if you're exporting a number of images in at one go. It resets to the starting value each time you begin exporting.
Also the second number in the sequence reflects the number of images in this export session. So if you're exporting 9 images the firnt one wil be 1 of 9 the second will be 2 of 9 etc.

Contact page and Version name question

When making a contact sheet, is it possible to just have the image number under each photo and NOT the words "Version Name"?
Thanks.

I'm trying to find out whether this is possible as well. It's annoying having "Version Name" print out on something I'd like to show a client!

Good evening. When I try to rename a master file or export a master file, it only allows 9 spaces for my new name, even though Aperature 3 allows many more spaces than that for version names. This creates a lot of problems and headaches for me.

Good evening. When I try to rename a master file or export a master file, Aperature 3 only recognizes the first 9 spaces for raw .NEF files, even though it easily uses twice that many spaces for version names. I have a system in place that works really well for me, wherein by changing the file name I can recognize what's important to me just by glancing at the file name, no matter what system it is in, I do not have to open or mouse over anything to know what the file is. My files also arrange themselves in order no matter what file system they are in. Can someone please tell me if there is a setting, or something I am doing wrong, that prevents me from using a longer Master file name. I can't be the only person who would like to have his Master File names correspond to the name that appears in the Aperature library, and would like to use at least 16 spaces (numbers, letters, etc.)
Thanks,

Hi Frank,
As you suggested, I am attaching several screen shots. In the first one you can see how I set up my preset. I used "Custom Name" and "Counter" with a dot between the two drag ins, followed by "D90". I also have a dot to seperate the 8 digits in the Custom Name and make it easier to read.
I then click "OK" which takes us to the second screen shot. Here you can see that in the Example File Name everything looks perfect, and you can see I have clicked on "Apply to Master Files".
In the third screen shot you can see that the version in my library did in fact change correctly. With the "mouse over" pop up screen you can see, however, that the Master File name was changed to "1933.1017.NEF". It failed to carry the "12D90" and if I go to where my masters are stored that is exactly what the name was changed to.
In the fourth screen shot I attempt to export the master. You can see how my "Version Name" is set up.
And finally on the 5th screen shot you see in the File Name Example the name "1933.1017.NEF" once again, which when I export the master is exactly how the name will appear. Since I will export more than one file at a time , a (1) and a (2) etc., will appear at the end of the names because all the files are being given the same "1933.1017.NEF" name.
I hope this reply does a better job of clarifying my problem. I am anxious to see if this is something I simply misunderstood, or if I am simply doing something wrong.
Thanks,

Question about Contact Sheets and Version name.

When making a contact sheet, is it possible to just have the image number under each photo and NOT the words "Version Name" in front of each number?
Thanks for any help.

Hi John Cardamone;
When I saw your question I had thought I had seen it before and was wondering if there was an answer on the other posting. So I did a search which brought up your seven posting of the same question that is all.

Any way to stop facebook exporter from using version names as the caption

I tried the Aperture 3 facebook export and it is using the version names as the caption. If I change the caption on facebook it then changes the version name in my aperture library when it syncs with facebook. Is there anyway to have it use the caption meta data field instead? You would think if they had that option for mobile me they would have it for FB too.

Add me to the list of people interested by this issue - but AFAIK there is no way to change this. Let's hope Apple fixes this soon.

How to batch change Caption with version name?

I'm using Aperture 3.0.2. I want to caption the photos based on version name. This way when I export the photos from Aperture to Picasaweb, the caption will show. This will allow the visitors to tell me which image proof that I need to re-touch.

I found my own answer. I wrote this AppleScript. It's my first AppleScript ever. It's nice to Goggle and found some other resources.
tell application "Aperture"
set imageSel to (get selection)
if imageSel is {} then
error "Please select an image."
else
repeat with i from 1 to count of imageSel
tell library 1
tell item i of imageSel
make new IPTC tag with properties {name:"Caption/Abstract", value:get name}
end tell
end tell
end repeat
end if
end tell

Exported versions include GPS data?

i spent quite a bit of time troubleshooting an issue before i learned that aperture does not include gps data when exporting versions.
is that really true? if so, i'm fairly flabbergasted. how can a pro product like this not perform such a basic function?
i've read a few threads here and there about ordering of geotagging and importing and such, but none that provide any real type of workaround. my images definitely do contain gps data.
all i want to do is have an exported version contain the image's gps data.
either i'm not understanding something basic about aperture, or the product falls far short in that area.
(aperture 3.1.2 on 10.6.7)

ok, well posting wasn't a complete waste, as in doing so a related post appeared on the right and that answered my question.
so i wasn't understanding something basic ... there is a preference to include location information when exporting. see Preferences > Export

Import iPhoto Title as Aperture Version Name?

QUESTION: How do you import your iPhoto library such that the Titles you've applied in iPhoto become the Version Names in Aperture?
DETAILS: Upon import, Aperture ignores my custom iPhoto Titles ("Lunch at Summit", for example) and replaces them with the original file name (DSCF2966, for example). I hate looking at a screen full of DSCxxxxx names. Worse, I've spent a lot of time titling my pictures in iPhoto. I don't want to lose that work.
BACKGROUND: In iPhoto, I typically Batch Change a just-imported set of photos, setting the Title to nothing. Then I give meaningful names to pictures that I care about titling. This way, I reduce visual clutter on the photo display; any title text I see is there because I typed it in. When I try this trick in Aperture, it displays "<untitled>" for any pictures I remove the camera's DSCxxxxx from.
QUESTION 2: Is it a bad idea to get rid of the camera DSCxxxx Version Names?
I've experimented with the Import settings, searched these forums, the web, and the Aperture help files, to no avail.
Thanks!
David Long

Kirby, thanks for your helpful response. I just experimented with the Version Name field in the iPhoto import dialog and found that setting Version Name to Version Name in the
File-->Import-->iPhoto Library...
import dialog still does not preserve the Titles from iPhoto.
However, using
File-->Import-->Show iPhoto Browser...
DOES preserve the iPhoto Titles. Unfortunately, this method loses much of the Places information in the iPhoto library. I describe which Places info gets lost in this forum post:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11229662#11229662
So, this leaves us with a conundrum:
-If we use the "Show iPhoto Browser..." method to import, we retain our Titles but lose our Faces and Places data.
-If we use the "Import-->iPhoto Library..." method, we retain [most of] our Places and Faces data, but completely lose our Titles from iPhoto.
Either way, we lose some of the metadata work we put into our iPhoto library.
Anybody know a solution to this problem?

Error: exporting versions is done using RAW

Hi,
I'm having a strange problem which I couldn't find in the different communities.
My workflow: As usual, I'm importing my pictures in RAW and process it in Aperture (3.1.2). Now, I wanted to export the pictures in JPEG. To do so, I right-clicked on the desired project, chose "Export --> Versions", and in the export presets "JPG - Original size".
The export was working fine (the folders were created), but the pictures exported were no JPEG but RAW (file format CR2, I have a Canon 500D), and - hardly surprising - without any of my my adjustments. The result is the same whether I'm exporting individual pictures or whole projects, and even changing the presets for the export (e.g. TIFF) doesn't change anything; Aperture insists on RAW being the file format of the exported pictures.
And just to answer the most likely question: Yes, I've chosen "Export --> Versions" and not "Export --> Masters". :-)
Anyone has an idea what I've done wrong?
Kind regards
Dirk

Hi Kirby, hi Ernie,
thanks for your help... after a lot of trying, I found at least the reason for the error. :-)
The Aperture library is situated on a NAS, and the image files are stored within the library (that was the import setting as well). It seems that Aperture has got some troubles with that situation. In the browser, the badge "the referenced image master is offline" is displayed for all the images. Strange enough, because all the image masters are stored in the library (the NAS is online as well), and I can access the library.
It seems that with this status, Aperture can't export properly. After some trying found out that I found out that if duplicate the version of the image, Aperture doesn't think any more that the referenced image master is offline. When I export this version, everything is fine.
I don't really understand what's going on, but the question has shifted somehow - no export problem any more, but "How can I import images to a Aperture library situated on a NAS without creating the problem mentioned above".
Dirk
PS:
English is not my first language, so I apologize for any errors.

Sharing photos by e-mail arranged by version name

I need to send all photos in one project from Aperture by e-mail arranged by version name. That is, all photos in the letter must be ordered by version name. When i use Share button Aperture generates an e-mail where the photos are mixed.
Does anyone know how to do it?

unfortunately the photos mix in the body of the email message...
probably my Aperture needs some additional adjustments...
You can "select all" in the body of the email message and "{right-click}➞View as Icon". This makes seeing the filenames easier, and makes it easier to rearrange the files.
Yes! when i do this i can see the filenames mixture: 3,5,8,1,2,6, etc instead of 1,2,3,4,5...
You can export the files to a Finder Folder, and then import them into a mail message. This may make ordering the files the way you want them easier.
You can ask your recipient to save the files to a Finder Folder (or equivalent) and sort on file name and view them from the Finder (using Quick View).
You can export as a Web Gallery and send the Web Gallery to your recipient with instructions to double-click it. This should open in their Web browser.
yes, i know it. but it's less convenient for me

Exporting version with metadata

Hi there,
this is probably an easy question. If I have a file (RAW or JPG), make some changes on it using aperture, including changes in the metadata such as adding tags and possibly GPS data, then how do I export the edited version so that the metadata of the export reflects the changes I have made within aperture?
Currently I command click on the photo and ask to "export version". I select the "JPG - original size" option, which, upon inspection, has the box "include metadata" ticked. But the exported file only has the metadata that came from the camera. Keywords are always gone and GPS data is often (?) gone.
Can anybody help me with this?
Thanks a lot,
Gil

Apologies. Just found an earlier thread which deals with this bug in aperture:

Batch Rename... how do I keep the version number [NOT the version name]?

Hi!
I've finally made up my mind about renaming my img. names in Aperture, and I would like to have something like "Travel San Francisco 2005 version x 1.CR2", where "version x" is the number which Aperture automatically adds whenever I make a change to an image. This is then followed by a number which automatically increases by one for every new image: 1, 2, 3, 4... etc. until there are no more images to choose from in the current project.
My problem is that I cannot figure out how to get Aperture to keep the, for me, very helpful "version 1, 2, ..." info attached to the images during renaming. In the Batch rename dialog box I am able to choose "Version Name" but that only gives me the current name of the selected image which I do not want. Aperture just replaces the "version x" in the image name.
Can anyone help me, or am I asking for something that cannot be done in Aperture?
Kind regards

HI, there:
I like answering these easy ones. Too often the questions regarding Aperture can't be solved as of yet becasue it's a bug or a lacking feature.
Anyway, when you import your files, look for the sidebar that has all the options on it. Look for a spot that says "Name Format." When you get there, there should be a drop down menu that will allow you to choose a variety of options. One of the options is "custom name with counter." Aperture will automatically assign each image a custom name and a numerical number starting with 1 and incrementing by 1 for a maximum of 999. You can change the options for this by selecting "edit" from the drop down menu.
Cheers

Batch rename of version name to fix a typo?

When I import images, a have Aperture give them a version name that is composed of the date, the master file name and a custom part. (I know this is a bit redundant, but hang on for now).
E.g. a version name would be "20101022-hopsack-DSC_1234". Note: no extension!
Now suppose that fter importing I notice that I've got the custom name wrong; instead of "hopsack" it should've been "debrem".
So I do a Batch change on those images, selecting the same version name format as in import, and type in the proper custom name, and voila, fixed, right? Wrong! The version name now contains the file extension, like so:
Rename -> "20101022-debrem-DSC_1234.NEF".
This is not what I wanted. Even worse, when you export this image with the current version name as file name, you'll get "20101022-debrem-DSC_1234.NEF.jpg". Looks rather stupid.
Why does the [master file name] building block have different behaviors in Import and batch rename? Am I missing something?
You could fix the version name with the Metadata inspector, but then you'd have to do it image by image.... OK for a few images, but not very practical for many.
So, apart from making no mistakes during import, are there other ways to fix this?
Oh, about that silly version name... I wanted to change the version names into something more sensible, but you can't batch rename images and re-use the custom name they have to make a new version name. So that would become a tedious process as well. Suggestion on how to handle this are welcome as well. (I could filter the images on custom name 1, batch rename with that name, then filter on custom name 2... and so on. Slightly less cumbersome.)
Hints? Tips? Suggestions?
Thanks,
Peter.

Sounds like the coder who implemented the code for this in file import didn't consult the corder doing it in the Batch change section
Seriously, this isn't right, it should be one way or the other, ideally there should be two separate options, one with just the filename part and another with the extension, Then you could put them together any way you like.
I'd send feedback to Apple concerning this.
As for the situation you're in now, can't think of any easy way to make the change you want to.
Sorry

Export file names with Face name?

There doesn't appear to be a way to do this from what I can tell but I figured I'd ask. I'd like the export photos so the name of the file is the person's name. Possible?

You can export a file, so that the version name is used as the filename for the exported file. So you would have to open each Faces stack and rename the versions in this with a custom name preset, where you add the name of the person to the custom name.
A lot of work.
If you export the an image version with a named face, Aperture 3.5.1 will add the name as a keyword to the exported file. Perhaps the keyword will suffice for your purpose?
