Keep filenames in web gallery export

Currently Bridge will generate random filenames when using the web gallery export tool. Drawback of this is that when we manually upload the new images to a server, they don't overwrite the old ones. Okay, it's a matter of remembering to delete the old ones. But also, because we adapt the XML scripts with some more info, we have to re-adapt the XML files every time.
It would be superb if the 'web gallery output' sidebar could have a checkbox to 'keep original filenames'.

Well that's quite a pain. I would have thought that something as simple as exporting to consistent sizes would have been on the top of the 'bug' list. This is a major need for me to output precisely sized low-res photos.

Thanks for the tip. I hope someone comes up with a workaround...

  • Controlling filenames in web gallery export

    I need to export photos of a specific size with the version names the same as the filenames, and since Aperture apparently can't export a batch of images (using the Fiel/Export function) without varying the size a pixel or two (see my thread: "Variable size on export"), I'm trying to use the web gallery function and sizing the pix the exact dimensions I need.
    The problem is that Aperture insists on renaming the files "Picture 001, Picture 002, etc., and I need the filename to match the version name.
    Anyone found a way to fix this?

  • Where is the display filenames option in web gallery export?

    adobe bridge CS4, as i'm understanding this feature went away in later versions.
    Just trying to export a web gallery that will include the file name beneath of it.
    I thought the feature was non-existnant so I have spent a couple hunded bucks and about two years trying third party options, I prefer that the web gallery export look exactly like bridge.
    in reading through these forums again, i see mention of to simply check "Show File Names" when I create a Web Gallery.
    I cannot find this option anywhere.
    just want to have web gallery with the names of the files beneath the images, if it were searchable, and could be organized by alpha-numerical order just like bridge, that would be what I wish.

    adobe bridge CS4, as i'm understanding this feature went away in later versions.
    In CS6 it is still there, only under the Template 'HTML Gallery'
    Don't have experience myself with Web Gallery so no idea if this has changed but believe it has always been this way, maybe they changed the order of the templates?

  • Web Gallery export troubles w/ LR 2.3 update (Mac)

    I regularly export web galleries (WG) using templates I have created. Earlier today I began having trouble, where LR2.2 would freeze
    during a WG export, and I had to force quit LR.
    At first, because LR was dragging so slowly, I thought it was a near-full startup disk, so I opened up 31 gb of free space, quit LR and restarted. After the problem reoccured, I thought it was because I had large Tiffs in the WG, which I had never done before, so I excluded them, but it did not help.
    Finally I upgraded to LR 2.3, and immediately tried to output a small test WG. When I clicked 'save,' nothing would happen, that is,
    the export window would disappear and there would be no indication in the progress bar that the WG was being created, and in Finder sure enough
    nothing was created.
    I tried several times. Then I tried it using my template without altering any text in the gallery, and it worked. I repeated this and it worked about 90% of the time. Then I tried it again with my larger web gallery (59 images) and again, nothing happened. I went
    back to the simple gallery and it worked; back to larger gallery with text altered: did not work.
    EDIT: I am finding it does not like a string of numbers in the "site info" boxes, such as my file number 090217.
    Any ideas?
    I am on an iMac Intel, with 4 gb ram, running 10.5.6

  • Keeping photos in web gallery

    I would like to delete photos from my iPhoto storage but do not want the deleted from web gallery. Is this possible? Everytime I try, the web gallery in iPhoto syncs with the web gallery on my .mac account. Maybe there is someway to stop the sync for that particular gallery? I don't know how to do this.

    You could create an iWeb photo page with those photos and once published delete those photos from your library. The web page would have a URL address just like the web gallery does only the iWeb page has a little more pizzazz than the web gallery.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Web gallery export bug: Crop ratio change doesn't update correctly

    I've just submitted this as a bug to the Aperture feedback site, but then realized that maybe I should have asked around to find out if it was just me or if it's an actual bug.
    Try this: Export a web gallery to your site. Now change the cropped aspect ratio of one or more images in the gallery. Now export the gallery again and when Aperture asks if you want to Update or Replace the existing gallery, select Update. (This option is supposed to save time by only sending the changed files to the site.) The image that was cropped differently will still show up in the Index and Detail view with the old ratio, but the new dimensions will be stretched to fit the old ratio.
    I've done this repeatedly and it's completely reproducible. The only way to get the gallery to display correctly is to select Replace when exporting the gallery. Obviously, if your gallery is larger than a handful of images this will take a while and it defeats the purpose of the Update option.
    Does anyone find this same issue or am I the only one?

    Yeah, that makes sense.
    I'm thinking now that if I create a new version in the web gallery and crop it just for the web export the app will probably re-send that image out to the web site because it treats the new version as a different image. Since the new version really doesn't take up any meaningful hard drive space this wouldn't be a deal-breaker, but I would have to remember to NOT delete that version or change the crop ratio before uploading the gallery again.

  • Aperture 3 PAINFULLY slow on Web Gallery Export

    Well, I've just upgraded to Aperture 3 and I have to say I really love all the UI and adjustment improvements. I've had a few crashes, but nothing terrible or shocking or too inconvenient.
    Now, though, I've finished processing and editing a job and am attempting to export my web galleries for my client to see and the whole thing grinds to a screeching halt. I'm looking at the activity window and while it's been exporting for 45 minutes already I only have 110 of 340 WEB images exported. What gives? Aperture 2 would've exported this whole thing in 20-30 minutes at the very most. This thing is C R A W L I N G along.
    Am I doing something wrong?
    I know there was some talk of ensuring that Ap3 was running in 64 bit mode to get the best performance. Trouble is, I have a 24" 3.06Ghz iMac (4 GB RAM) and I can't even figure out if the **** thing supports 64 bit mode. Can't find any details on Apple's tech specs site. But really. . . can that be it?
    I'm really shocked that this web export is going so tediously slowly. It seems like the processing/export engine should've improved in speed from Ap2, not gotten so much worse.
    If anyone has any suggestions I'd surely appreciate it.
    I'm sure I'll still be here watching the export crawl along by the time someone pipes up.
    Other than this issue, though. . . Man it's an amazing UI improvement.
    Thanks.
    max.

    Unfortunately, this is a big problem with the program. I did some experiments and found that the more adjustments you have layered up, the slower the export goes.
    For example, I took 15 virgin raws and they exported on average 6.7sec/photo, not too shabby, but the photos were of course, flat.
    Then I did 15 raws that I had applied a bunch of adjustments to, including shadows/highlights and some minor dodging. These took 14 minutes (56sec/photo).
    I turned off the s/h brick in these photos and they exported in 5 mins flat, basically 1/3 of the time.
    The other night I exported a photo that I had used s/h, and extensive brushing on. 1 photo took over 10 mins (I didn't time it exactly). So it appears that the big culprits are brushing and shadows/highlights.
    I filed a bug report to Apple, via the feedback option in the Aperture menu. I suggest you carry out your own testing and do the same. Hopefully it's something that can be addressed, as I find shadows/highlights and brushing quite useful for the photos I take.
    One more thing: a Mea Culpa of sorts.
    In another thread titled "Aperture Frustrations" I had mentioned about switching to another program. Yes, I too was frustrated.
    Well I tried that for a day or two, and well, I'm back. I had come from V2 of that program to Aperture and realized why I did it in the first place. Aperture just does such a nice job with my 7D raw files and everything about the workflow is just better. I really missed the level of control I have with curves, levels, shadows/highlights etc. Not to mention the very good DAM aspects of A3.
    Even though there are annoying performance problems, I am willing to ride it out and hope for the best (i.e. a performance patch). However, you can bet that Apple will be getting bug reports and enhancement requests from me on a regular basis!
    We all deserve this thing to work as advertised, and once it does, I think you'll see lots of people switching over.

  • Web Gallery keeps updating for no apparent reason

    Hi. I have a couple of pictures in the film strip, and moved to the Web module. LR 2.4 for Windows keeps updating the web gallery over and over again, for no apparent reason. It shows "Update Web Gallery" on the progress bar at the top, completes the task, and after a couple of seconds does it again, and again... . Any idea what could be triggering this unwanted behavior, and how to avoid it?
    Thanks.

    You don't state which type of gallery (i.e. HTML or Flash) that you're using. I've only seen it happen with Flash and only when I've switched back and forth between modules. Others have reported seeing it whilst staying in the Web module. For this latter group the usual fix is to delete the preferences file.
    More details of where to find the preferences file can be found at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/358041?tstart=0

  • Web gallery image setting control

    Develop settings persist in slideshow, but web galleries seem to have had the settings changed considerably. Has anyone else seen the not-at-all-subtly increased brightness (gamma change?) on web gallery exported images? Is there a way to configure LR to not do this, or to set export preferences other than size and compression quality? Workarounds, if not? Other gallery software recommended (LR exports work fine for me, just not through the web gallery)?
    My experience is on an Intel Duo iMac 10.4.10. (And staying there until Adobe releases LR for 10.5.)
    I have searched the forum for previous discussions on the topic. I did not find anything relevant. Apologies if I missed something.
    Thanks for any wisdom!

    Sorry to bother you, but I was wondering if you got an answer to this question. I am desperately trying to figure out how to post my pictures in their ORIGINAL SIZE to my web gallery.
    Thanks!

  • Any way to keep original file name as image name for web gallery?

    Hi,
    I wonder if there is any way to keep the original file name as image name for a web gallery (instead of "picture-1.jpg)
    People often send us the thumbnails or the image from the web and we have to search forever to find the image in AP - if we could keep our original filename then this would be a second away.
    Hope somebody has an idea
    thanks

    Hi William,
    I finally had time to play - unfortunately it does
    not work the way you described above.
    I´m just exporting a set of images using the "Stock
    Black" Theme - marked name only - batched the
    filename to masterfile - but the actual picture names
    are still "picture-1.jpg" - "picture-2.jpg".
    did I miss anything? thanks
    I see what you want, you don't care about the screen name so much but want the generated file names to be the same as the version names. From earlier messages though I am not quite sure why this is a problem, since you said other people were picking the images they wanted - say Image1 and 23 and 8. That to me says those people are going through the directory using Finder or Explorer, not using the HTML.
    Is it the case you are giving people web galleries on CD? If so, then perhaps also export a "browse" directory with exported images using the version names, so that people can use the right name.
    Or perhaps it's the case that people are downloading the images from the web, and then using the downloaded file names to send you requests. I'm not sure how to fix this yet and do not know if 1.1 offers something for this.

  • Modify Web Gallery - Paypal Integration - Filename Extraction

    Hi Everyone,
    I'm embarking on a mission to try and create a custom web template that will integrate Paypal's "Add to Cart" buttons on the "Details" page of an exported Web Gallery. It only requires modifying a Web Gallery template file and adding the below code to the footer of the Details Page:
    <form target="paypal" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
    <input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/enUS/i/btn/btn_cartSM.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!">
    <input type="hidden" name="add" value="1">
    <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_cart">
    <input type="hidden" name="business" value="[email protected]">
    <input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Purchase Standard Resolution Image">
    <input type="hidden" name="item_number" value="imagename">
    <input type="hidden" name="amount" value="3.00">
    <input type="hidden" name="shipping" value="0.00">
    <input type="hidden" name="no_shipping" value="0">
    <input type="hidden" name="no_note" value="1">
    <input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD">
    <input type="hidden" name="lc" value="US">
    <input type="hidden" name="bn" value="PP-ShopCartBF">
    </form>
    The problem is, I need to substitute the image's filename for the "imagename" variable in the above code. I'm looking to extract the filename, but I'm unsure of how Aperture populates that. I'm sure there's a div name that they use that I could slip in there, but has anyone who has modified a Web Theme done this before? I know CSS modifications are easy, but I'm talking extracting certain field names that Aperture uses.

    I'm not seeing an "Add To Cart" button on your page - just a "View Cart" one.
    The reply from PayPal is correct in that there is no code that specifies the image size. The image itself dictates the size as you will discover if you use a custom button hosted on your own site.
    Here's the code:
    <form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
    <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick">
    <input type="hidden" name="hosted_button_id" value="Value-Code-Here">
    <input type="image" src="http://www.domain.com/Folder-Name/Button-Image.png" border="0" name="submit" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!">
    <img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1">
    </form>
    However, PayPal buttons do work on iWeb built sites so I don't know about the relevance of their reference to CSS.

  • Export Bridge Assets including metadata into searchable web gallery

    Hi,
    We have several thousand images that we have tagged with metadata in Adobe Bridge. We want to be able to export these images and their associated metadata into a searchable web gallery so that customers can search keywords or at the very least pick attributes in order to narrow down the image selection process.
    What software has the ability to do this?
    Thank you!
    -Mike

    Apologies.. my advice may have been wrong.. it is a while since I figured it out.. trying to remember what it was I did..you do have to shorten that file name.. but it may not be the caption you need to change. I suspect I may have selected all the images.. then gone to meta data batch change and done something under the custom button which then applied to all images.
    In my case I needed to get the web address for the gallery created from:
    http://homepage.mac.com/farish/Smartbins™%20Chewing%20Gum%20Bin%20and%20Cigarett e%20Bin%20Image%20Gallery/
    down to:
    http://homepage.mac.com/farish/Chewing%20Gum%20Bin%20Cigarette%20Bin/
    I did manage it but can't quite remember how I did it.
    I will keep playing and when I figure out what I did that worked will post again.
    The web gallery name you choose affects how Google sees the site as when you publish the web gallery - the web gallery name can pop up in Google
    It's quite difficult to figure out exactly what to do. If anyone else knows a definitive answer please advise!

  • [web gallery] how to define the export color profile

    Hello,
    I'm currently working on a web gallery template wich will create both web size and full size images. It will allows my clients to directly download the images they want for their article, and save me a lot of time for the uploading process.
    This step is done. I've found in other web templates how to do the multiple sizes. You can have an example here: http://nack.ch/series/biscuits/index.html
    But as I often work for press, I'd like to be able to export my images in a profile like ProPhotoRGB or AdobeRGB instead of sRGB. Is there a way to do that?
    I suspect there should be a photoSizes.*. function that I have to insert in my galleryInfo.lrweb, but I didn't found a listing of the different parameters we can set for web galleries.
    Have you any idea to solve this problem or at least where I could find any information about that?
    Best regards
    Niels

    Sorry, there is no way to do this in the 2.x SDK.
    We'll keep your request in mind for a future version.

  • Can't export web gallery in lightroom3

    Lightroom3 web gallery will not load error occurred whileing uploading web gallery images. : the server could not be found
    i checked my internet speed, its fine, i checked with my website host, no prolem there. the setting in lightroom for web export have not changed. i do not have too many programs running or not enought ram.
    any suggestions?

    Hello - I don't have a solution, but I wanted to post some observations: Each time I click upload, a folder is created or some files are transferred to the host until all the folders have been created on the remote host. In other words, the FTP transfer continues until a MKD command is sent to the host. After that, LR throws an error and stops.
    I even went to the extent of deleting all the files from a working gallery structure on the remote host, leaving the folders intact. One click on "Upload" copied all the files into the structure as desired with no error message.
    My analysis is that the return code from the FTP host following a successful MKD command is being misinterpreted my LR as an error.
    This stops the FTP transfer, but the folder is OK and in the right place on the host. The next upload command either creates another folder, or copies files to the host. Once the folder structure has been created on the host and the Upload contains only files, it goes OK.
    A crummy work-around would be to keep an empty gallery folder structure at the client end, copy that via another FTP host, then have LR fill it up.
