Images added to page have wrong file name

I've been using iWeb ever since it came out and thought I knew everything I needed to know but am running into an unusual issue.
I have a folder of images I call my originals. I copy them and place them into another folder called large. I run an Automator action to scale the images down to 750, rename the images large-001aa.jpg and also create a corresponding thumbnail folder and files. When I drag and drop these images into iWeb, the older filenames are there. The filename in iWeb and the actual filename do not match. It's as if it's pulling up an older filename from when the image was first created. I have deleted the page, quit iWeb, etc. What's going on here? Is it pulling old metadata or is there a cache I need to clear? Thanks for any help.

Youtube video of the issue. It has audio but don't know why youtube isnt playing it.

Watch for when I add the image to iWeb. In finder it's small_001.jpg but after adding it to iWeb it's thumbnail...

  • IWeb 1.12 bug: folder-photos have original file names!?!?

    Hi, I've been using iWeb for a while now, but came across a strange bug which creates a problem for me. I had about 180 jpg photos on my mac which originally had particular file names. I manually changed the file names in the finder (for each of these - say, from a file name that might have been something like 1a.jpg to one that might be 1-Wayne.jpg, then drag-drop imported them into iPhoto, reordered them in iPhoto, then exported to iWeb (onto two pages since it will only take 99 photos on any one page), then exported from iWeb to a folder that I plan to upload to a server.
    I noticed while trolling through the newly-created folder with the images, that while some of the file names are the new ones, quite a few of them retain the old file names! How the heck did that happen? Since in the published website (i.e. via a browser) all the new names show, it is not a problem for the website per se. But I am also making an image-map file which links to these photos, and since I have so many photos, it is very confusing since some of the files that iWeb created use the new file names, whereas others use the old names. I would rather recycle the iWeb-created images rather than to upload entirely new ones (e.g. with the new names).
    Anyone know what's going on here? Solutions or workarounds?
    Baffled and flustered,
    Wayne

    Welcome to Apple Discussions,
    You are doing nothing wrong.
    I have noticed the same behavior change between iPhoto '08 and iPhoto '09.
    When you make a change to the name of the Event that name change takes place within the database that governs the iPhoto Library of pictures, not in the "physical" structure of the iPhoto Library (as you pointed out).
    Any changes you need to make should be made through the iPhoto interface (iPhoto is an image organizer after all. Thats what it's made for.), not by going inside the iPhoto Library package (Which is where you see those folder names. Making any changes within the package can damage the library. )
    That said if you think that the naming structure is a feature you would like to see in future versions of iPhoto you can let Apple know. iPhoto > Provide iPhoto Feedback.
    Hope that helps.

  • How to open image added to Pages doc in Preview app?

    Hello,
    Anyone know hot to open images added to Pages in preview app on Mac? When I click on any image with right mouse button I have in menu these options - "Open in Pixelmator and Capture selection from screen".
    I tried to make my own Automator service "Open img in Preview" and it work well in Finder and other apps (I selected it in Automator option to work in all apps) but this service is not show in Pages > Services.
    Anyone know how to fix it or how to make this service visible in Pages? I tried to found "Open in Pixelmator" workflow on my Mac to rewriting or save my "Open img in Preview" workflof into same folder but no chance. In (Library > Services etc)
    Thank you for you kind, sorry for my English
    Jan.S

    I don't know how Pixelmator created their Service, but I suspect it involves programming that is beyond my abilities.
    The following AppleScript will copy the selection in Pages and open a new preview window from the clipboard. It could be run as a Service with Automator. (It will also leave the image on the clipboard; if that is a problem, it could probably be modified, but I didn't get that sophisticated with it.)
    tell application "System Events"
              tell process "Pages"
                        set frontmost to true
      click menu item "Copy" of menu 1 of menu bar item "Edit" of menu bar 1
              end tell
              tell process "Preview"
                        set frontmost to true
                        click menu item "New from Clipboard" of menu 1 of menu bar item "File" of menu bar 1
              end tell

  • Is there a way to drop an image into indesign and then have that file name captioned underneath?

    Hello! I'm looking to help a colleague into streamlining a process. We have to display images full page in an Indesign Document and every time we drop and image onto a page, we then need to edit the caption underneath with the file name. Just wondering if there is a way to automate this process? Any scripts available?

    When you place an image you can turn on the capture function. There are normal and live versions. The normal labeling creates a text as text is, the live version creates a variable which would change if the image or the text in the meta information changes, but it behaves like a single character which causes problems how the text will run in the text frame.
    What is drawn out of the Meta must be set up before in the caption set up option.
    When you drag and drop an image from the finder or from Bridge you can't activate this option.
    BTW I use it a different way which seems to me faster. I assign a shortcut to the labeling command and when I have imported the image, I click this shortcut and in a second step I apply an Object style which will format the text frame including Paragraph style which might be different on a dark or bright photo or upon a graphic.
    Normally I edit all meta information in Adobe Bridge, which is the fastest way to handle it.

  • InDesign Script to find images w/ prefix code, place img on page along with file name.

  • Some fonts have wrong "internal names," won't display properly in font menu

    Several fonts which I have acquired over the years have a peculiar but bothersome problem.
    The fonts' "file names" in the Finder are perfectly fine, and the files are named what they're supposed to be named. And when the fonts are "installed," they work perfectly fine in all applications, as they are supposed to. But here's the problem: the fonts are mis-named in each application's "font menu." In my case, most of the font names (which are of the standard English alphabet and have standard English font titles) instead appear listed as a long string of Chinese characters.
    As a random example, a font called "Holiday Ranch" made by FontDiner is not listed alphabetically between "Hoefler" and "Impact" in my font menus, where it ought to be, but instead is listed at the end of the font menu list, after "Zapfino," as a long string of Chinese characters. This wouldn't be such a problem if there were only one or two fonts misnamed this way, but when (as I do) you have 25 fonts at the bottom of your font list, all of which are long strings of incomprehensible characters, then it becomes a problem indeed.
    The fonts come from a variety of sources, so it can't be a flaw in just one company's coding. I contacted (as per the example above) FontDiner, but so far they have no response. But for other mis-named fonts in my collection, I don't even know who designed them or where they came from, so I can't ask the designer for a solution.
    Keep in mind that all of the fonts work perfectly fine, once I've tracked them down in the big morass of hard-to-find misnamed fonts at the bottom of my font menus. They work in all Apple applications like TextEdit, they work in Adobe products like Illustrator, they work in MSWord -- they work everywhere. The only issue is the naming.
    Also, the file names are all correct. In the example above, the file name for "Holiday Ranch" is "Holiday Ranch.ttf". And when I inspect the font with Linotype's "FontExplorer X," it is listed properly as "Holiday Ranch." But here's the key: When I open the font file in Apple's "Font Book" (v.2.2.1), the name is indeed listed there as a long string of Chinese characters, and when I install it onto my computer using Font Book, it unfortunately uses that name.
    I've tried downloading a wide variety of "font tool" programs, but none have been able to fix this problem.
    I also tried (using FontExplorer X) "Cleaning system font caches" and "Cleaning application font caches" and restarting, but that had no effect whatsoever. I don't think it's an error on the part of OSX, I think that the fonts are simply misnamed internally, or that something went awry when the font designer converted the fonts from one format to another, or something like that.
    I think the simplest solution would be to just re-name the fonts internally. But how? I can't find a way to do it. Even the optimistically-named freeware program "Font Renamer" did not change the internal names.
    Has anyone else ever experienced this problem, and if so, how can it be fixed? Thanks.

    As for free downloads to play with: unfortunately, the FontDiner ones are all commercial and thus not free...
    They do have some free fonts. At the bottom of the first page (after the lead in page), click the "Free Silverware" link at the bottom. The fonts that come up on that page are all free.
    I downloaded four of those fonts at random. All work as expected. That doesn't prove though that the Holiday Ranch font doesn't have something wrong with it.
    Kurt, as I noted above, I already did empty all font cache files and restart. Unfortunately, that did not fix the problem.
    Oops! Sorry, missed that.
    So I think the problem is not that there's anything wrong with my OS, but rather that the person who made the font simply goofed when giving it a name!
    It seems to point that way, but you're seeing the issue across fonts from different vendors. I would believe it's either the OS, or Font Book itself.
    Your tagline shows you're running 10.6.4. Download and reinstall the 10.6.4 Combo updater. It's surprising how many problems go away when applying the combos.

  • Image Capture and special characters in file names.

    Hung up image capture yesterday: We tried to enter a date in the file name of the document we were scanning. It proceeded normally, but then did not save the file and image capture would not scan again until OS restarted.
    Problem repeated until we discovered a slash in the file name box. Changed the file name and everything works now.
    Software should either prevent user from entering special characters in the file name box, or properly handle the error and not hang up the application.

    Hi,
    Would mind providing a screenshot about how your Content Query Web Part rendering in your environment?
    In my environment, it displays the filename which contains periods:
    I would suggest you create a new page and insert a Content Query Web Part to perform the test again.
    Feel free to reply with the test result or if there any progress.

  • Problem loading Image data with French accent in file name

    We have a very complex commercial application that has been working perfectly in English for over a year. We have now localized it to French and Spanish, and discovered a serious show-stopping problem. We need help fast, with the scheduled release being less than 2 weeks away...!
    We iterate over a folder to find all the images in it, then display those in a user window.  The code for loading the images is:
                for each (var name:String in filenames){
                    var image:SmoothImageTransformable = new SmoothImageTransformable();
                    var imagePath:String = dir + "/" + name;
                    image.source = imagePath;
                    trace("Adding Item to picture carousel with url " + image.source);
                    image.data = {directory:dir, filename:name};
                    image.isDragEnabled = true;
                    image.setStyle("horizontalCenter", 0);
                    image.setStyle("verticalCenter", 0);
                    _images.push(image);
    Our SmoothImageTransformable class is an internal class that inherits from Image.  This all works fine for image names like 'myFavoritePhoto', 'test', 'photo346', etc.  However, it fails to load the data if the file name is something like 'caméra'  Any name with a UTF-8 character causes the data load to fail.
    To be sure we weren't doing a load somewhere else in the code that I had overlooked, I added a "image.autoLoad = false' line in there.  That did exactly as expected -- all image squares then show a grey blank, with no image shown.  Removing that line (reverting to the original code, as shown above) causes all the images to work perfectly, except for those with French accent characters like the é.
    HELP!  Is this a known bug?  Is there some additional setting I need to make it understand the extended character set?  I can't find any mention about this at all in the documentation.

    @markerline:
    We have a fix!  Almost...   I don't understand one aspect of what I am seeing though.
    We have one test file named "camèra.jpg" that is an example of what I am unable to load into an Image.  I decided to examine the character codes at each letter, and this is what Flex has as the string:
    name = cam?ra.jpg
       [0] = c; 0x99
       [1] = a; 0x97
       [2] = m; 0x109
       [3] = ?; 0x232
       [4] = r; 0x114
       [5] = a; 0x97
       [6] = .; 0x46
       [7] = j; 0x106
       [8] = p; 0x112
       [9] = g; 0x103
    Note that the è prints as gibberish in the trace statement, and shows a numeric encoding of 0x232.  According to
         http://docstore.mik.ua/orelly/web2/action/appb_01.htm
    The unicode equivalent of Latin1 for è is 0xE8, which is equivalent to 0x232. That implies that the string is already Latin1, which I would think would mean that Windoze would recognize the file name and open it properly -- but it does not.
    I then tried taking the "camèra.jpg" string, pasting it into NotePad++ in a UTF8 document, then telling NotePad++ to display as ASCII.  The result is "camèra".  I then tried just forcing the file name within Flex to this new mangled string.  The result then is:
    MAGIC name = camèra
       [0] = c; 0x99
       [1] = a; 0x97
       [2] = m; 0x109
       [3] = ?; 0x195
       [4] = ?; 0x168
       [5] = r; 0x114
       [6] = a; 0x97
       [7] = .; 0x46
       [8] = j; 0x106
       [9] = p; 0x112
      [10] = g; 0x103
    Note this time the trace statement looks proper.  More important, the IMAGE DOES LOAD!  (Our display of the name to the user now looks like crap, but that just means I need to modify our class to have a separate 'name' property, rather than extracting it from the 'image.source')
    So... my remaining question -- what encoding did I just do through that NotePad++ incantation?  That site I quoted above said that it was already Latin1, which is what I thought I was trying to get to.  I clearly need to write a method to map from incoming (UTF8 I thought, but maybe Latin1?) to Windows file system (Latin1 I thought, but maybe ASCII).
    In other words, I am not sure what charcter set to come from or go to...  It turns out the code was already in the character set I had been trying to go to (which is why it wasn't working) and the set I seem to need to go to is not the one I thought...

  • Elements 8 - How to view images by scrolling thru folder of file names?

    After taking a large batch of pictures, I want to place them in a folder and rapidly view the full images one at a time to select which to keep and which to discard.  IN PE-8 how can I display two panes - one pane containing the image file names contained in a folder and the other pane which displays the image of the file name selected?  Using the arrow keys, I want to move through image file names one at a time while displaying the image associated with the file name in the other pane.

      One method of accepting or rejecting is to use star ratings.
    Select the first image and press F12 to view full screen. Press the 5 key to add five stars.
    Press the right keyboard arrow to move to the next image and star or move on.
    When you have finished the batch you can filter by the star rating.

  • Adding a prefix to a file name if the prefix is not already there

    I have a script that adds a prefix to a file name then moves the file from its source directory to a destination directory. The problem I am encountering is that if the destination directory is unavailable for any reason the file fails to move &
    so remains in the source directory and then the next time the script runs the prefix gets added again so I sometimes end up with files that look like this:
    "Prefix_Prefix_Prefix_Prefix_Prefix_Prefix_1234_20141020_9786_8404.tif"
    I need to build in some kind of logic that prevents this from happening so that if the Prefix_ is there it doesn't add it again, but not I'm not sure what the best way to do this is.  Here is the code that adds the prefix.
    Get-ChildItem $Source\* -include *.jpg,*.tif,*.pdf -exclude *.log | % {Rename-item $_.Fullname ("Prefix_" + $_.Name)}
    # When I wrote this script only God and I knew what I was doing. # Now, only God Knows!

    Another option, but I like Bill's better:
    $prefix = 'prefix'
    Get-ChildItem | ForEach {
    If ($_.Name -notlike "$prefix*") {
    Rename-Item -Path $_.FullName -NewName "$($prefix)_$($_.Name)"

  • Wrong File Names to iPhoto

    I made a slideshow in iPhoto from images that I have in Aperture. I Did a Batch Name Change in Aperture to rename the files. When I showed selected my Aperture images in a new slideshow in iPhoto and ran the slideshow with "Show Titles" the filenames were the original filenames and not the filenames that I had changed in Aperture! How can I get the correct filenames to display?

    PS - I also posted this on the iPhoto Discussion

    Kevin Hawkins wrote:

    Kevin,
    I suspect that this is the cause of the problem - as I recall, you cannot rename files in Aperture (except for at import time). What you've probably done is to change the caption or version name, which is not the same thing.
    You probably need to investigate the iPhoto slideshow options to see if it can use the caption and not the file name.

  • Pages 5: Insert File Name

    How do I insert the File Name? How do I update an old File Name that was previously inserted?
    It's common practice to insert the document name in the footer of document, so people reading the document know what version the file was printed from. This was easily handled in the past version of Pages by going to the "Insert" menu and selecting "File Name". If you later modified a document, you could righ click on the inserted document name and the contextual menu would offer you the option to "Update File Name".
    Pages 5 seems to be missing this functionality. The software help instructions offer zero mention of Insert File Name.
    Has this been removed? If so, that's crazytown. If not, I'd sure appreciate being explained how to use this important feature.
    Thank you!

    Tell Apple and Apple's users by rating/reviewing Pages 5 in the App Store.
    Apple tries to clear out the bad reviews but with every new version they keep sinking lower and lower.
    In the Australian M.A.S. it is getting almost 3/4 saying they don't like it, with almost 3/5ths saying they hate it. Worse than the previous v5.0.
    I assume there were some who just quickly looked at it and didn't know what Apple had done. A few bad files and intractable problems later, and they are starting to wake up.
    The problem with the reviews is that mostly people do it on first impressions and they can't go back and correct their review in the light of experience, until the next version comes out.

  • A script for adding the current date to file name?

    I am working in Indesign CS3. I frequently save file as PDFs into a designated folder. I was hoping for help in writing a script that would apply the current date to the end of the file name, when saved into this folder. Some days, I save the same file several times, into this folder. I was also hoping there was a way to add a date and version, for example "filename_2.25.11(1).pdf" Is this possible? Can someone help me?

    ok, I ended up with this test routine:
    on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving added_items
    tell application "Finder"
    repeat with this in added_items
    my checkifopened(this)
    display dialog (name of this) as text
    end repeat
    end tell
    end adding folder items to
    on checkifopened(this)
    set a to POSIX path of (this as alias)
    repeat until 1 = 0
    ## don't like that one because it relies on an error msg ... so

    exit repeat

    ##so I use this one
    set b to do shell script "lsof"
    if b does not contain a then
    exit repeat
    else
    say "still opened"
    end if
    end repeat
    end checkifopened
    this is a folder action that tests if the added file is still opened by an application... there is no delay between each test-loop since lsof takes some time to execute...
    And after adding a timeout (just in case) to this function the final script looks like this:
    on adding folder items to thefolder after receiving added_items
    tell application "Finder"
    set folderkind to kind of thefolder
    set myfiles to every item of thefolder whose name does not contain "#" and kind is not folderkind
