Renaming files in BorderFX for iPhoto

Hi,
I've been watermarking my photos using the BorderFX extension for iPhoto.  However I cannot figure out how to change the title when I export the photo through BorderFX.  I've been creating new folders with the title but would like to be able to rename the actual file. 
Does anyone know if this is possible, and if so, how?
Thank you,
Steve

Hi LN,
Thanks for the recommendation - I just did contact the author so we'll see ...
Take care,
Steve

  • Help w/ BorderFx for iPhoto

    I download BorderFx for iPhoto 2011 and I see it the file on my hard drive, but for some reason it is not showing up in iPhoto as an export option. I tried reinstalling it and restarting my computer and nothing. Any help is much appreciated.
    Lori

    What version of iPhoto?
    For any detailed BorderFX support you will need to use their support forums, help, or contact the author

  • As I was cleaning up my mac, I accidentally deleted some files obviously vital for iPhoto. I want to download the new version, but am not sure I can access my photos. Should I download the new version or restore the old one somehow?

    I know the files were vital to iPhoto because I can't open it now. Can you restore these files?

    Probablhy not unless you know exactly what needs to be restored
    You need to restore the entire library from your backup before these files were deleted - it is not adviseable to upgrade the iPhoto application until you resolve your iphoto library problem
    In the future always remember the number one rule of iPhoto - NEVER make and changes of any sort to the structrue or content of the iPhoto library

  • Why can't I delete or rename files in Word for Mac and other Office programs?

    When I try to delete or rename an Office for Mac file, I can't.  How do I delete/rename Word for Mac and other Office for Mac files?

    Had this problem for quite a while but found a work-a-round. I click anywhere in the text I want to delete and insert any character. I am then able to block and delete any text I want to. It's been working great.

  • File management advice for iphoto avoiding space issues

    I've just returned form a full OS crash and want to rethink my workflow approach.
    I have about 50Gb of RAW & Jpeg files to re import. This will not rise more than 20% over the year. Before switching from PC to MBP I used Adobe Bridge/CS for file mgt & editing. But on switching to Macs last yr I got soon sucked in by the simplicity of iphoto. Sure, it's toy like but it's **** food at what it does and if you're just intermediate dslr snapper like me with limited time, it's okay.
    BUT before I go back to it, and quickly run out of space - can someone advise on best workflow/storage option considering I don't want to invest in Aperture or others.
    So what shall I do?
    1) Keep my entire collection on on an external drive (with additional DVD backup for safety) and keep another smaller library of recent stuff on the MBPro (thus using 2 libraries with Library Mgr http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/). Is this safe? Any issues or guidance?
    OR
    2) Use Adobe Bridge to manage raw files and only import the final jpegs into iphoto for browsing showcasing etc. This would help keep the duplicates down in iphoto
    Any ideas welcome.

    James
    I would go for option one - multiple libraries managed with iPhoto Library Manager. IPLM will also help you move files between libraries. I see no safety issues. I can see no advantage to using iPhoto for one set up and Bridge for the other. I always think you should keep things simple.

  • Renaming files in FCP for Pro Tools

    Hoo boy! We just learned from our sound designers that Pro Tools is having some issues with illegal characters in filenames inside our OMFs. Evidently ^ ! / ( ) - ; are all no good. Mostly this presents no problem (does anyone ever use a carat?), but our sound studio (also using Pro Tools, curiously enough) seems to have a penchant for the hyphen.
    So now here's the problem: I have FCP sequences chock full of files with hyphens, and I have to be able to export the audio into OMFs with no hyphens. I'd love to find out there's a very smart and easy way to get around having to manually delete illegal characters (in the browser, of course) in 400+ files.
    Any ideas?

    you can do this by exporting an XML of your sequence , the basic premiss is:
    open xml file in a text editor and do a find and replace on one of the known clip names
    replace every instance except the "parthurl" item
    save changes
    double click the xml, tell fcp to create a new project and check the reconnect media box
    everything should be exactly as before except the clip name should be changed globally, reveal in finder should still link back to the original file
    ... i was sure i'd seen a new release of a utility to do this just the other day, but can't seem to find it now ?

  • ITunes music for iPhoto Slideshow

    Not able to use files from iTunes for iPhoto Slideshow.  Only SAMPLE MUSIC.  This is the message that I get > iTunes The song "The Sad Cafe" could not be used because the original file could not be located.

    Have you checked, if the song plays correctly, when you try to play the song "The Sad Cafe" in iTunes? If you see an exclamation point besides the song, you need to reconnect that dead track to the original file. When you try to playy the song, iTunes should prompt you for the location of the song. Use the File Chooser window, that will pop up, to search for the file and select it.
    Then try again to use the song in your slideshow.

  • Any way to rename files when importing from camera with iPhoto?

    I have a naming scheme that I've used when importing photos from my camera (e.g. 2008-09-12-Event ). I can't create a custom folder (in Pictures but outside iPhoto Library) or rename things when importing with iPhoto - is that right? I can't find any advanced options to import ...
    If I want this (and don't want to use Adobe Bridge CS3), do I have to get Aperture?
    Thanks -
    Alexa
    p.s. I haven't really figured out WHERE my photos go with iPhoto? I've been editing in Photoshop Elements 6 but then have to "Save As" to replace the file - saving it doesn't do it (I think that sends it to the iPhoto library somewhere?) Eek...

    Alexa:
    You might consider this workflow:
    1 - using either Image Capture or a card reader upload the images to a folder on the desktop.
    2 - name the folder with a brief description of the shoot. I use a short date and description: 08/01/08-Dinner at Toad Hall
    3 - use a file renaming application like Resize! to batch rename the files to your specification. I use the international date (for the capture date) and a brief description: 2008-08-01-Dinner at TH-001.jpg.
    This allows for good chronological searching and sorting as well as text searching on the description. It also avoids duplicate file name issues in the future. Granted a few extra steps up front but saves me a lot of time later on.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 or later), 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 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. 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.
    Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • Sharepoint 2013 ItemAdded event receiver for renaming files is not working

    In SP 2013 I coded an event receiver that intercepts the ItemAdded event and it just renames the file.
    It is a synchronous event (I added <Synchronization>Synchronous</Synchronization> in the Elements.xml).
    This is the code:
            public override void ItemAdded(SPItemEventProperties properties)
                SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
                    try
                        OutputDebugStringA("Inside ItemAdded");
                        string szHttpUrl = properties.WebUrl + "/" + properties.AfterUrl;
                        SPWeb openedWeb = properties.Web.Site.OpenWeb(properties.Web.ID);
                        SPFile spf = openedWeb.GetFile(szHttpUrl);
                        EventFiringEnabled = false;
                        string szUrl = properties.AfterUrl;
                        szUrl = szUrl + ".renamed";
                        string szNewFileName;
                        if (szUrl.LastIndexOf('\\') != -1) szNewFileName = szUrl.Substring(szUrl.LastIndexOf('\\') + 1);
                        else if (szUrl.LastIndexOf('/') != -1) szNewFileName = szUrl.Substring(szUrl.LastIndexOf('/') + 1);
                        else szNewFileName = szUrl;
                        if (properties.ListItem != null)
                            properties.ListItem["Title"] = szNewFileName;
                            properties.ListItem.Update();
                        spf.MoveTo(szUrl);
                        EventFiringEnabled = true;
                        base.ItemAdded(properties);
                        OutputDebugStringA("Renaming to " + szUrl);
                    catch (System.Exception exception)
                        OutputDebugStringA("ItemAdded ERROR: " + exception.ToString());
    The problem is that when I upload a .txt file using Internet Explorer, just after the renaming is done, IE says that something went wrong and when I inspect the log files I see:

    So it is clear that the fact that I renamed the file is causing an issue in the SharePoint upload logic.
    As a solution what I did was to not declare it as Synchronous, but if I do it then there is another error when Sharepoint shows the Edit Properties dialog... in this case the upload is OK but when it is time to show that Edit Property dialog IE fails and
    says that the file has been already modified, or that "something went wrong".
    If I use a synchronous event I get one problem. If I use the asynchronous event I get another problem... It's very frustating and I am pretty sure that a so important API like Event Receivers should have support renaming files so I hope someone can tell
    me what I am doing wrong.
    Thanks in advance

    May be you want to consider using the following code and see if it works for you.

  • Can multiple users share one file for iphoto

    I want to be able to have all the user profiles on our iMac access the same files for iPhoto, so when one user adds photos they are there for anyone who logs on.

    For iPhoto 09 (version 8.0.2) and later:
    What you mean by 'share'.
    If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
    Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
    Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
    If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc.
    Quit iPhoto in both accounts. Move the Library to the Users / Shared Folder
    (You can also use an external HD set to ignore permissions, a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.)
    In each account in turn: Double click on the Library to open it. (You may be asked to repair the Library Permissions.) From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
    However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.

  • Please syntax for me :)  Re: Rename files with a given string

    From the post http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=54&threadID=5118509
    Was wondering if someone could explain how the red characters work and what it does. Thanks!
            String newFileName = destFiles.getName().replaceFirst("[^.]*", rename);
            File newFile = new File(destFiles, newFileName);
            destFiles.renameTo(newFile);

    It would serve you better to look at the API documentation.
    getName() returns a String, right? So it is invoking String.replaceFirst with those arguments. Do you know where the API documentation is?
    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/index.html
    (That's for version 1.5 - you can find other docs for other versions).

  • Renaming new files in pages for iCloud

    When I create a new blank file in Pages for iCloud beta the file is named blank. There is no obvious way to rename it. If I close the document and then try to restart Pages for iCloud I get an error message stating that pages can't be loaded.
    This seems fundamental so I presume it is addressed somewhere.

    That is what I thought would be the way to do it. However it seemed the only way to see the file selector window was to close the file I was working on and and then hit the pages for iCloud icon again to get the file select window. However, pages refused to reload. I was left with checking the iCloud files on the Mac. I changed the file name there. It sees to me the online and iOS versions of the program should allow for naming of the file from within the files editing window just as can be done on the mac version.
    Thanks for the follow up. I guess I just need to figure out why pages for iCloud wouldn't relaod. I suspect it needs to be closed first and that must involve more than closing a window. That begs the question of how the web based program is closed.

  • Used "Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto" now my video files in iPhoto have an error message "A necessary data reference could not be resolved."

    As the title states, I used the app "Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto" to get rid of 6 GB of duplicate pictures.  However, now when I go to view a video in iPhoto, I get the error message "A necessary data reference could not be resolved."  I am able to view the video clips (with sound, etc.) in Finder.  However, I want to know if there is a way to restore them in iPhoto?????
    Thanks,
    Leslie
    I see that the suggested solution is to restore from back-up... is there anyway to do that without bringing in ALL of the duplicate photos I just deleted?

    Try going back to QuickTime 7.4, we've seen the same problem occur with the 7.5 update. How did you make the .mov file that plays all of the files? For us, the problem shows up with reference movies (such as that .mov) made on a Mac, but works fine if it is created on Windows.

  • Can't open iphoto in airbook. Asking to upgrade then says must rebuild library then warning about missing files. When click rebuild all I get is continued- waiting for iphoto library- and, never rebuilds

    can't open iphoto in airbook. Asking to upgrade then says must rebuild library then warning about missing files. When click rebuild all I get is continued- waiting for iphoto library- and, never rebuilds

    -1.The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto.
    Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process for very large libraries may take an hour or more to complete.
    2. iPhoto is unable to open this library.
    The library has issues that require rebuilding to correct

  • I try to open iPhoto and it asks what library file I want to use. I have Find Any File application that someone once gave me the "magic" file to search for, but I do not remember the file

    I had this problem before and someone gave me a "magic" filename to search for using my Find Any File application, but I cannot remember the file name.  Is it iPhoto6-something?

    Hello Joel,
    Don't know how to determine my OS
    To determine your OS click on the apple in the upper left corner of your screen and click "About this Mac". The "About" panel will tell you all about your Mac.
    On my mac (OS 10.7.3) I can search for iPhoto Libraries like this:
    Select my Home Folder in the Finder
    Type in ⌘-F to activate a search
    Set the "Search" to "This Mac"
    Set the "Kind" selector to "Other" and enter "iPhoto Library" into the search field.
    This should reveal all iPhoto Libraries on your Mac.
    With "Find any File" you could search for the ".iPhoto"-extension.
    Regards
