Illustr. CS5 Appending -01 onto filenam when export .jpg

Hi, I'm having two really annoying problems when I export images from Illustrator CS5.
Problem no.1
Anytime I export an image file, Illustr always appends -01 onto the end of the filename even into an empty folder. Never had this problem before. I'm on Lion. Anyone think it may have to do with that?
Prob no.2
Also, is there a way to make Illustrator default to having the "Use Artboard" checked the Export dialogue?? It's so annoying having to check that everytime I need to export an image, which for producing comps is ALL the time.

You know what,... you're absolutely right. It wouldn't make sense when there are several artboards. Right now I'm just hammering on this project and the sketch phase is just taking forever, using [one] artboard for each file. Just needed to quickly pump out a bunch of comps. [probably a better way to do it].
It makes sense that exporting artboards should be numbered for you BUT if exporting only one, you'd think the system would be smart enough NOT to throw a number on the end. Whatevs.
I should have thought of this before I posted, but I just remembered I could have been using the save-for-web dialogue. THAT remembers exactly where you last exported to. Yea, Mac has recent places too, shoulda thought of that as well... 
Theyve obviously thought this thru more than me...   Thanks a million for your help!!

  • Adding sysdate to filename  when exporting to csv in Apex V3.0.1 using IE6

    Hi,
    I have created an application item (AI_DTTIME), together with an application computation that fires on before-header that is set-up as follows:
    TO_CHAR(sysdate, 'DDMMYYYY HH24:MI') ||'.'
    Within the report addtributes on a page under "Report Export", within the filename, I assigned &AI_DTTIME.
    When I go to test it by clicking on the link label, it seems to assign a number to the filename, such as 40.csv. Each time I clink on the link label, the filename value simply increments to the next value, i.e 41.csv
    Can anyone see what I may be doing wrong or how to apply the sysdate to a filename under "Report Export".
    Thanks.
    Tony.

    Hi Tony, Hi Andy
    I have a similar functionality to achieve by adding sysdate of filename when exporting to csv, adding wthr this csv is in dev or prod,URL of this report and it is powered by xyz company
    I have created an application item same as andy did and the application computation with computation item AI_DTTIME, computation point - Before Header, computation type - static assignment and computation - TO_CHAR(sysdate, 'DDMMYYYY HH24MI') ||'.'
    After that in report-export filename i added the address of my application item i.e &AI_DTTIME
    but when i am trying to export my report to csv the header is coming with " TO_CHAR(sysdate,'DDMMYYYY HH24MI')_' "
    Can you suggest where i am wrong?

  • Use Metadata Title as Filename When Exporting

    Is there a way to use the metadata title as the export filename when exporting ?? If not, there should be !

    It already can do this. Simply go into the list of filename presets, choose Edit, and built your own preset - making sure to include "Title" from the top Metadata drop down list somewhere in your renaming pattern.

  • Preserve folder structure when exporting JPGs?

    Is there a way to preserve the folder structure of a catalog when exporting JPGs of everything to a new location? I know there is an option to save the export into the same folder as the original file, but i am talking about a completely new location. That would be really helpful.

    Lightroom doesn't support it directly. However, try this plug-in http://photographers-toolbox.com/blog/2009/06/exporting-a-folder-hierarchy-from-lightroom- lrtreeexporter-released/

  • Illustrator CS5 15.0.2 crash when Save for Web and Devices (Mac)

    Hi baffled with this.
    When Saving for Web and Devices in Illustrator CS5 (15.0.2), the application now freezes and has to be force quit.
    HOWEVER if I delete the Users/~/Library/Preferences/Adobe Illustrator CS5 Settings/en_GB folder all works well until I quit the application, then the freeze will happen again. I had this happen before so under the advice of Adobe I created a new user and all was fine for that user so I transferred everything across... a laborious task.
    So my question now is why now?... what has triggered this AGAIN?...
    Hope you can help... anyone.
    Running:
    Mac OS X 10.6.6
    Mac Pro tower.
    Note:
    have uninstalled, reinstalled, updated 15.0.1 - 15.0.2
    have deleted all font caches
    have deleted everything... that could be related...
    HOWEVER have narrowed it down to the 'Adobe Illustrator Prefs' file in the Users/~/Library/Preferences/Adobe Illustrator CS5 Settings/en_GB folder
    Please too note this is not the folder permissions issue, am aware of that and have thoroughly checked all permissions, ran disk utility and disk warrior.
    thanks

    If you use cocktail I suggest you get rid of it it can cause serious problems if you select the wrong settings, instead download ONYXwhich is free and will not harm your system or corrupt anything by deleting something you actually need.
    I hit the wrong setting using cocktail and it locked me out of all of the hard drives installed or connected to my Mac it is very dangerous. And I cannot imagine a reason for a setting that would protect your hard drives from yourself to the point of not recognizing your own password.
    I know it cost money and has advanced settings but having the ability to kill your system is crazy.
    Also to repair your permissions use the disk utility or ONYX as the permissions can become changed when installing software or if cocktail changes it locking you out of folders etc.

  • Filename when exporting from ReportViewerBean

    I'm using Crystal Reports for Eclipse 2.0 in a desktop application and ReportViewerBean is used for previewing reports. The export-dialog have several file formats and they all work fine but one annoying thing is that the filename is blank, so one have to write the filename/filextension manually before exporting to file.
    Is there a way in the code to specify what filename a report should get when exporting?
    I'm probably missing something here...
    I've searched through the forums and code examples but have not found anything about this.
    Thanks in advance

    To be clear, are you looking to have the Save As field in the export dialog box populated with a report name when you export the report?
    When exporting from the viewer it isn't possible to do this, however if you export directly using the SDK, you can set the report name and path to whatever you like and automatically export to that location.

  • Illustrator CS5 - Cannot make custom size when "printing" a PostScript file

    Hi all,
    I've recently picked up Illustrator CS5, and while this year's model sure is lovely, I'm having an issue when I save a file (or print) as a PostScript file. My aim is to convert the file to a PDF using Distiller and in the Print dialogue box, the PPD field in past versions says something along the lines of Adobe PDF 8.0. In CS5, I do not have the option to select that from the PPD drop down menu (Nor can I find the file to add to the list). Additionally, I can't make a 'custom sized pdf,' only preset paper sizes. I've had to resort to opening my files in CS3 to convert them to PostScript files. I forsee this becoming a problem once I start diving into some of Illustrator CS5's new features.
    I get the feeling the program didn't install with an Adobe PDF plug-in and I can't seem to find a substitute online that isn't from 1999 (!). Is there a way to get that plug-in file that my copy of CS3 is using into my CS5?
    I'm on a Mac by the way, version 10.6.

    I feel your frustration!
    I ran all updates and it did nothing because I was still on an older version of Acrobat. Once I installed Acrobat 9, restarted illustrator, I had all of the PDF options avaliable to me found in the link that fuzzydisco design provided me:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/509/cpsid_50981.html
    Having Acrobat 9 seemed to be the essential missing component to me. If you do have Acrobat 9 already, and its not working, then thats a problem I don't know how to fix unfortunately!

  • Illustrator cs5 changes Kuler color values when importing, Help!

    I am using Illustrator cs5. I access the Kuler Color theme feature for color themes. I will select a them from the Kuler feature
    and then choose to add that theme to my swatch panel. I then check the individual colors in the color panel. Here is the
    problem: when illustrator brings in the Kuler colors to the Illustrator color panel it will change the values of that color which
    changes the actual color. For instance a bright green becomes a muted turquoise. This conclusion is not by my sight,
    because I have opened the specific color theme at the Kuler Web sight and obtained the CMYK values for those colors,
    and then gone back to the Illustrator color panel and compared then values there. The values are changed which creates
    a different color --- obviously. So how can I use the Kuler feature when illustrator changes the values on me which then
    changes the color? Help

    I dont know what my color settings are at this point.
    I download the Kuler color theme straight from the Kuler panel open on my desktop. I open
    the drop down menu options and choose: add this theme to your color swatches. The
    theme is moved over to the swatch panel while I am using Illustrator.
    I don't know what you mean by your last question.

  • Keep Red Filename when exporting to QT

    I have a lot of Red Footage which I need to trim/color correct in FCP. I use log and transfer window to ingest the footage and then Export > Quick Time to 1080p.
    The problem is, I have to maintain the original filename for future reference.
    Is there a way to keep the original file name when exporting?
    When I export, it ask me for the file name as "save as" and it puts "Sequence 1" by default in. Is there any way to override that and put the original file name in?

    Yes, thank you, I know about the voodoo to get things out to Compressor. Must be a sequence in the main sequence folder in the bin to work voodoo thing.
    I think my problems are systemic as now compressor will not launch. I have been having nothing but problems since I installed 10.4.10. First all my Office programs would not launch then I actually installed OS 10.4.10 several times rebuilding my system by archive and installing 10.4.8 and then using the combo installer from there. I thought I had a stable system but I guess I will have to revert to 10.4.9 or reinstall compressor or Quick Time or FCP Studio or.......ARRGGHHHH?
    I though that the dialog was amusing in the extreem! It wasn't "Sequence has no media" it was:
    "No Movie in File" Of course there isn't any movie in the file you didn't put the movie into a file....sheesh. Anyway I'll post again.
    PITA

  • Adding zeros to filenames when exporting in Lightroom "Filename-001" "Fliename-002" etc?

    Hi, does anyone know if it is possible to add zeros before numbers when exporting files eg: "Filename-001" "Fliename-002" etc? The default setting is "Filename-1" "Filename-2" ect. The reason I want to have zeros in the number sequence is that certain software will display files in the wrong numerical sequence eg: "Filename-1" "Filename-10" Filename-11" etc and then "Filename-2" after "Filename-19". If zeros are added the files will always be displayed in the correct sequence "Filename-001" "Filename-002"... "Filename-009" "Filename-010" "Filename-011" etc.

    Just customize the filename using the template editor, and use the Sequence token set to the number of leading zeroes you want, as shown.

  • Retain Filename when Export Trim

    I often use the trim function in Quicktime X.
    To view a video, I open it up and sometimes I need to make it shorter.
    The I use trim and export back to the folder I had the original clip so that it over writes it.
    My problem is, that I need the original file name. When I export, it always wants to save it as "untitled".
    So I have to go back-and out of QT click on the clip in the folder>copy and then paste in the export window.
    Lot of work. (My filenames are 16 Digits-to long to type every time)
    Any way to set it to the original file name?

    To be clear, are you looking to have the Save As field in the export dialog box populated with a report name when you export the report?

    You can save as BUT you wont' get the same file size. Save or
    Save AS
    will retain or reserve file space for meta data. So your
    files will be
    about 13 k larger than if you had exported them. Also, if you
    save as
    BEFORE you export, the meta data is not stripped during
    export (a known
    bug).

  • 'file could not be written due to an error' when exporting jpg

    I'm working with an Illustrator file in CS2 and after a certain point it has started saying 'the file could not be written due to an error' when exporting to a jpg.
    i've tried a couple things like deleting layers and although the file is much smaller, it still says the same error when exporting.
    at its highest it was 130mb as an illustrator file and jpgs were 2-5mb.
    i''ve tried copying some of the layers into a new file but the error report still comes when i'm exporting.
    i have vector and raster based data in the file and tried turning off/deleting either of the layers and there is no difference.
    i don't understand why it's started doing this because before it had no problem at all exporting before.
    ANY IDEAS ANYONE?  I'm trying not to have to reproduce days of work to remake the file.
    many thanks,
    P

    Mylenium,
    Sounds like you know a good deal about this product.  Is there any way to restore a color profile/setting to an earlier point?
    I don't recall changing it and to tell you the truth, wouldn't be able to say which it may have been set to before - if different.
    Thanks,
    Paul

  • Preserving 16x9 format when exporting jpg

    Hi. I am exporting from FCE, still images from a sequence using File/Export/Quicktime conversion and still image or image sequence settings. The project is from HDV and is in widescreen but the exported jpg images are 'tall and thin', indicating it has somehow converted from 16x9. I cannot find any reference to this in the FCE manual. Can you help? (I am UK based, using PAL and capturing the HDV footage using Easy Setup setting HDV-Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i50) - Thanks, Max

    Why are you exporting image sequences? What are you trying to do? HDV 1080 material is normally squeezed for compression from 1920 to 1440. That's the way the HDV 1080 format is designed so that's what you get when you export an image sequence. If you're going back to video this is the best way to leave your material as it's the least manipulated that way. If you're doing something else then you have to readjust the images.
