Image file names changed on Homepage

I have found, on several occasion,s that the titles of the images on my homepage have lost their file names and show the filename iPhoto gives it when uploading to Homepage i.e. Image123A123B123C etc Sometimes, it shows OK when viewing the page but not when editing the page.
All my images are given my job number reference for people to order from so loosing them is a big issue.
homepage.mac.com/cjbphotography/

The exif "image file name" is probably only used by some cameras, I don't have anything in there either.
Instead use "file name" under "other", that is the actual file name of the master file.

Changing image file name

I'm working with dreamweaver 8 for Mac.
Imagine that you have a html page with more than 200 images, that you have changed many times during the last few years, some have been deleted others have been added. And some are not linked any more.
At the beginning the pictures were numbered from the top of the page to the bottom of the page in order (picture1, picture2....), now they are messed up (picture13, picture 1....).
If I rename the images in my local file folder, DW update it on the html page. Unfortunately in the local file folder the pictures are not displayed, I have to open all of them (200 images) on my desktop ! I The result: a big mess. So my question is:
Is it possible to make a file name change on the html page, and DW update it on the local files folder?
I hope I've been clear. Thanks for your help.

What I would do is create a PHP script that places the images in a document, sorted on date.
If you Google the subject, you will see many examples on how to do this. One such search gave me this http://www.javascriptkit.com/javatutors/externalphp2.shtml
If you then see an image that you no longer need, you can remove it from the directory. This will leave you with the images that you do need sorted from earliest date to the latest date.
Keep this script for the document that you want to show the images on. Future maintenance will consist of removing the unwanted images from the directory and adding new ones. The PHP page will automatically be updated. No worries with file names, as long as you do not have two the same.
Although I mention PHP, the same goes for all serverside scripts.
Good luck.

How can I assign image file name from Main() class

I am trying to create library class which will be accessed and used by different applications (with different image files to be assigned). So, what image file to call should be determined by and in the Main class.
Here is the Main class
import org.me.lib.MyJNIWindowClass;
public class Main {
public Main() {
public static void main(String[] args) {
MyJNIWindowClass mw = new MyJNIWindowClass();
mw.s = "clock.gif";
And here is the library class
package org.me.lib;
public class MyJNIWindowClass {
public String s;
ImageIcon image = new ImageIcon("C:/Documents and Settings/Administrator/Desktop/" + s);
public MyJNIWindowClass() {
JLabel jl = new JLabel(image);
JFrame jf = new JFrame();
jf.add(jl);
jf.setVisible(true);
jf.pack();
I do understand that when I am making reference from main() method to MyJNIWindowClass() s first initialized to null and that is why clock could not be seen but how can I assign image file name from Main() class for library class without creating reference to Main() from MyJNIWindowClass()? As I said, I want this library class being accessed from different applications (means different Main() classes).
Thank you.

Your problem is one of timing. Consider this simple example.
public class Example {
    public String s;
    private String message = "Hello, " + s;
    public String toString() {
        return message;
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Example ex = new Example();
        ex.s = "world";
        System.out.println(ex.toString());
}When this code is executed, the following happens in order:
1. new Example() is executed, causing an object to constructed. In particular:
2. field s is given value null (since no value is explicitly assigned.
3. field message is given value "Hello, null"
4. Back in method main, field s is now given value "world", but that
doesn't change message.
5. Finally, "Hello, null" is output.
The following fixes the above example:
public class Example {
    private String message;
    public Example(String name) {
        message = "Hello, " + name;
    public String toString() {
        return message;
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Example ex = new Example("world");
        System.out.println(ex.toString());
}

Adding image file name and logo to image

Can you do batch processing of images to automatically insert the image file name, say at the bottom along with a logo, in black font. The logo stays constant but the image deatils will change with each image?
Can this be done in Lightroom or then the full Photoshop?
Thanks!

I've taken the script mentioned above and modified it to the best of my abilities. Still getting the same error, unfortunately:
function main(){
var suffix ="cropped";
var docPath =Folder("~/Desktop");
if(!docPath.exists){
   alert(docPath + " does not exist!\n Please create it!");
   return;
var fileName =activeDocument.name.match(/(.*)\.[^\.]+$/)[1];
var fileExt =activeDocument.name.toLowerCase().match(/[^\.]+$/).toString();
var saveFile = new File(docPath +"/"+fileName+suffix+'.'+fileExt);
switch (fileExt){
   case 'jpeg' : SaveJPEG(saveFile); break;
   default : alert("Unknown filetype please use manual save!"); break;
if(documents.length) main();
function SaveJPEG(saveFile, jpegQuality){
jpgSaveOptions = new JPEGSaveOptions();
jpgSaveOptions.embedColorProfile = true;
jpgSaveOptions.formatOptions = FormatOptions.STANDARDBASELINE;
jpgSaveOptions.matte = MatteType.NONE;
jpgSaveOptions.quality = jpegQuality; //1-12
activeDocument.saveAs(saveFile, jpgSaveOptions, true,Extension.LOWERCASE);

How do I not show image file name, only url link - Acrobat Pro 9

Both file name and url ink show when placing cursor over image. I want to only have url link appear.
And if that's not possible, I want to then change the image file name. Any ideas?

Use a button field for the link. You will have to add the action or JS code to open the link.

InDesign CS4: File names change to string of numbers

Occasionally, one of our users will save an InDesign CS4 file, only to have the file name change. For example, a file originally named "#kwn25501.bcbsNM.indd" was saved as "#kwn25501.bc157-1223857848."
If the user is not aware that this has happened, things can go horribly, terribly wrong in our production environment. The "numbered" file may be missing key elements, or be somehow be corrupt in some fashion. In one case, this led us to having to reprint a job because the "numbered" file was missing a photo; somehow, that file was used (and perhaps renamed after the fact) to create the final output.
We use Macs running InDesign CS4 6.0.5. Some of our Macs are running Tiger 10.4.11, while others are running Leopard 10.5.8. The problem seems to related to the Leopard machines, although that is not 100 percent certain at this point. All of these Macs are bound to Active Directory and save files to a Windows 2003 server. I know Adobe recommends against working on files over a network, but perhaps there is an explanation for this file renaming aside from network issues.
Any light that can be shed on this issue will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Kevin Stauffer

Check to see if maybe your original filename is the problem.
You may need that particular name for a workflow reason, but some of the symbols in the middle of your filename are generally not a good idea. Especially working off of a server, file names should be ONLY alpha-numeric characters, no symbols, no periods (except for the file type) and only underscores or dashes to separate words, no spaces.
The reason is some of those symbols get picked up as machine language and all sorts of bad can happen as a result.

Get image file name

Hi ALL,
I want all image file naming like a caption in my source document. Source document contains more than 100 images.
But i got a script through the forum and tuned for my script. Still, the file naming comes for the Ist page image only.
From second page onwards the file naming not comes like a caption.
Trying script:
//To Get image file name
var tgt = app.activeDocument.rectangles;
for (i=0;i<tgt.length;i++){
    myCaption = app.activeDocument.textFrames.add();
    myCaption.textFramePreferences.verticalJustification = VerticalJustification.TOP_ALIGN
    myCaption.contents = tgt[i].graphics[0].itemLink.name
    myCaption.paragraphs[0].justification = Justification.CENTER_ALIGN;
    bnds = tgt[i].visibleBounds;
    myCaption.visibleBounds =
        [bnds[2]+12, bnds[1], bnds[2]+4,bnds[3]];
        //[bnds[0]-6, bnds[1], bnds[0]-1,bnds[3]];
        myCaption.fit(FitOptions.FRAME_TO_CONTENT);
Thanks in advance

If you use the add() method in conjunction with the document without specifying the page or better the spread, all objects added will end up on the first spread of your document.
But your testing scenario is also too narrow. You are expecting:
1. All your graphics are sitting in Rectangle objects (what about Ovals or Polygons?)
Therefore: All graphics placed in ovals or polygons are left out.
2. That really ALL rectangles in your document contain graphics
You are in trouble, if there happen to be empty rectangles on a page. I would suggest to test that with your script. It will give you an error, because there is no graphics[0] for this specific rectangle, where you can draw the "name" for the "itemLink".
3. That there are no graphics in anchored objects or pasted inside other objects; left alone graphics inside table cells.
And who can say that thiese three restrictions exist in all documents you want to run this script against?
So, if you want to get to all image files in the document, why don't you start with the images in the first place?
Let's see:
the Document object has an "allGraphics" property.
Use that as a starting point and you will not missing a single graphic.*
Iterate through "allGraphics" will get you:
the "name" of the placed image through its itemLink.name property;
the container of the graphic, that's the "parent" of the graphic.
Now you need one other thing:
the page, or even better(!) the spread where the graphic is located. Imagine a graphic sitting outside of a page.
If you want to handle thiese, you must know the spread.
If writing this script for InDesign CS5 or above, you are in luck. There is a "parentPage" property of the "Graphic" object, you could use for your add() method. For graphics outside of pages this property will be "null".
And another important thing:
if a graphic is copy/pasted from e.g. PhotoShop to InDesign, the "itemLink" property of that graphic is also "null".
We can handle that in a try/catch scenario…
//Scope: all graphics on all pages
//(that includes graphics of anchored objects, active states of MSOs, graphics in table cells as well)
var tgt = app.activeDocument.allGraphics;
for(var i=0;i<tgt.length;i++){
    //Narrow the scope to all graphics on pages only:
    if(tgt[i].parentPage != null){
        //What to do with graphics, that are pasted directly from none-InDesign files:
        //the caption will read "Undefined"
        try{
        var myName = tgt[i].itemLink.name;
        }catch(e){var myName = "Undefined"};
        //targets the page of the graphic:
        var myPage = tgt[i].parentPage;
        //adds a text frame to the page of the graphic:
        var myCaption = myPage.textFrames.add();
        myCaption.textFramePreferences.verticalJustification = VerticalJustification.TOP_ALIGN;
        myCaption.contents = myName;
        myCaption.paragraphs[0].justification = Justification.CENTER_ALIGN;
        //Why visible bounds and not geometric bounds?
        var bnds = tgt[i].parent.visibleBounds;
        myCaption.visibleBounds = [bnds[2]+12, bnds[1], bnds[2]+4,bnds[3]];
        myCaption.fit(FitOptions.FRAME_TO_CONTENT);
*Not exactly true, because it is missing graphics in not-active states of MultiStateObjects.
Since MSOs were introduced in InDesign CS5 the DOM documentation left out this fact so far.
//EDIT: in the first version I had a comment on a different scope. Since Document Objects have no "graphic" property, I removed that comment. Sorry.
Uwe
P.S. And a Happy New Year to all!

Photoshop Elements 3.0 Back-Up - File Name Change

I currently run Photoshop Elements 3.0. When I back-up the catalog from within Photoshop, the file names are changed (i.e 100_2424.JPG to BO00012). All of my Premiere Elements 7 projects point to the original file name. If I ever lost that original JPG file, the back-up file would be recovered, but would not be recognized by Premeiere Elements, and thus not be found. Why does the file name change after back-up? How can I retain the original file name during back-up? Thanks.

Once you have taken the backup, all the files are renamed as you mentioned in the post. Its only when you restore the catalog through File->Restore, the files are restored by the original name.

How do I call image file names from MySQL & display the image?

Hello everyone,
I have image file names (not the full URL) stored in a MySQL database. The MySQL database is part of MAMP 1.7 and I am using Dreamweaver CS3 on a Mac Book Pro.
I would like to create a catalog page using thumbnails, and PayPal buttons displayed within a table, in rows. With the image centered and the PayPal button directly underneath the image.
How do I use PHP to call the thumbnail images as an image not the file name, to be displayed in the table?
Thanks in advance.

Open the Insert Image dialog box in the normal way, and navigate to the folder that contains the images. Then copy to your clipboard the value in the URL field, and click the Data Sources button. The following screenshot was taken in the Windows version, but the only difference is that Data Sources is a radio button at the top of the dialog box in Windows. It's a button at the bottom in the Mac:
After selecting Data Sources, select the image field from the approriate recordset. Then put your cursor in the URL field and paste in the path that you copied to your clipboard earlier.

File name changes when I sync videos

As title says, when ever I load a video into my 3Gs Iphone the file name changes to a numerical one.
How do I keep the original file name?
As it is I can only sync 1 video at a time then rename it before adding another.

Oops, Just realised I put this n the wrong forum. Just to clarify this is prerecorded video files.

RH8 - Image File Names

Greetings,
In a generated project, created in the RH8, when the user hovers over an image, the file name displays. I checked the image properties and Screen Tip text field is empty.
How can I prevent the image file name from displaying in the generated project?
Thanks

Hi there
When you examine the generated code what do you see? Is there a Title attribute or an Alt attribute? You didn't say what the output type was. Is it WebHelp? If so, did you enable Section 508 options when you generated? (Part of being Section 508 compliant is giving images corresponding names)
Cheers... Rick

CS4 Photoshop.exe file name changes

Has anyone had the CS4 Photoshop.exe file change names? I have had this happen on a couple of computers, one machine it happened twice. When CS4 is installed, the Photoshop file name is Photoshop.exe, at some point, the file name changes to PHOTOSHOP_CS4.EXE. I'm going to check with our sys admins to make sure they aren't doing some software push that might be changing it, but thought I would post here in case it was a known issue.

When you find the culprit you might let him know that different Photoshop versions always live in different Program Files subfolders.

IPhoto file names changed

I have just noticed that in several of my events the underlying file name of several imported photos has been changed to my assigned Title. Since I didn't think Apple provided a way in iPhoto for Mac to change the file name, and I am not digging into the file structure of iPhoto, I can't change the file name back to that assigned by the camera (and I don't necessarily know it anyway). I see no obvious reason why specific file names were changed. Is there some non-obvious way to change file names that I accidentally stumble upon?

iPhoto 9.4.3. Not sure what you mean by history. It has been in use for some time. No other obvious problems. The file name changes, at least that I have noticed, are from this year and, in particular, this past week. One other observation is that I only happened to notice because I exported a group of photos and saw that a few of the exported names did not have the camera assigned names and then I looked back at iPhoto (hovering the cursor over the title - which gives the file name). Again, the files were exported as a group and no obvious reason for something to change for one rather than another file. It is possible the change took place when I exported the photos rather than earlier as I had no reason to check.

Saving/exporting issue in Windows 7-file name changes when trying to navigate

I just got Windows 7 on my computer and am running ID CS5. The weirdest problem happens when I try to save as or export a file. The dialog box comes up and normally, I would be able to select a folder I want to navigate to just by typing the folder name, but what is happening is that the first letter goes to a folder, but upon typing the second letter, it starts changing the name of my file.
So for example, I am saving a file ABC.indd and I go to navigate to save it in a folder called Project XYZ. When I type in "P" to get to that folder name, it jumps right to the first folder starting with P. However, upon typing "r" my file name changes from ABC.indd to "r.indd." If I kept typing, it would become "roject XYZ.PDF."
This happens when saving as a file or if I am exporting a PDF. Our entire marketing department or 6 people was recently upgraded from XP to 7 and we all have this problem in ID. This does not happen in Illustrator or Photoshop and it has our IT department baffled. It is driving us crazy though because we make dozens of files a day and now have to manually scroll through long file structures when exporting PDFs, which is so time consuming, not to mention aggravating.
In searching for this problem, I found another poster on a different website who has the same issue, but no one had any suggestions.

Tell whomever is emailing the file to zip it first.
