Adobe Bridge CC Batch Rename and File Extensions

I use Adobe Bridge CC on my macbook pro that is running OS X 10.8.5 When I batch rename files within Bridge it automatically drops the file extension. I am able to add the extension within the naming process but would prefer if it simply defaulted to the existing extension of the files being renamed. On occasion it does do this and then the next time it is gone. What am I doing wrong?

I don't think there is any way in which you can add to the built-in functions…
Unless this is actually provided by one of the Adobe start-up scripts… ( I've not see it when digging about )
You would probably need a scripted solution that can give you drop down menu of the extra options you want.

Batch Rename with additional "."s, drops the file extension. Request for "Keep File Extension" option...

I NEVER name files with extra "." s in the name. I realize that all OS's (even Windows) will recognize it, but I haven't gotten out the old mindset of 8.3 filenaming... Although I do use longer names. So... I was surprised to see that when I was renaming files as per a clients naming preference to add a period within the name, the file extension is removed.
For example:
original file - 2014_10_31_1643.CR2 when batch renaming to "2014.31" + sequence, drops the "CR2" extension.
but.... if I change it to "2014_31" + sequence, the ".CR2" remains
Since adding multiple "." is a legitimate naming convention, shouldn't the file extension remain? Or, possibly this could be made more flexible by adding a check box "Keep file extension"
just a thought.

Refer to this stackexchange article:
http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/47319/how-can-i-make-os-x-recognize-new -file-extensions
The finder will only select the filename only for "known" file types.

Bridge removing file extension after batch rename

Hi All,
I've been having trouble with what appears to be a problem with Bridge in Photoshop CS2. I'm well aware this is an older version but, in this case, I don't think that should matter. Here is my situation:
After batch renaming jpeg files, I've had a problem with Bridge simply stripping off the file extension on all the newly renamed files. This never happens right away...always later. In other words, I'll batch rename a folder full of photos without issue, note that the rename was successful, and then return to that same folder a short time later to find white thumbnails and missing file extensions. This has happened exactly the same way on two different computers - and always with the delay.
This is getting to be very annoying. Has anyone had or heard of a similar issue? Thanks very much...

First use the menu tools / cache / purge cache for folder, if still in trouble restart Bridge holding down option key to refresh preferences

Batch file for %% variable/rename %%~nf.*

Hi
I have the batch script below which does the following:
1. recursively extracts .zip files (each zip contains only 1 file) using 7zip to a temp location
2. Each extracted file is renamed to the name of the .zip file preserving the extension - ren C:\DME\temp\*.* %%~nf.*
3. The file is then moved to new location which shares the same structure except the parent folder is slightly different.
This all works fine except I have noticed one problem.
ren C:\DME\temp\*.* %%~nf.*
This line renames the file to up to ".". If the file has a name with a number of "." I get a problem. Example = test.1.4.doc. My script renames this newfilename.1.4.doc instead of newfilename.doc
Because my %% variables apply to the original loop command (I think) I cant use %%~xI for example as this would just return .zip. I have tried a nested loop but enabledelayedexpansion does not seem to be working as %%f = the original file path.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks
@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
y:
cd "Y:\Scriptingv1\filepath\DME\data\00"
for /r %%f in (*.zip) Do (
"C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe" e -aoa -oc:\DME\temp "%%f" 1>>C:\DME\logs\7ziplog.txt 2>&1
Set currentpath=%%~pf
Set newpath=!currentpath:Scriptingv1=Original!
ren C:\DME\temp\*.* %%~nf.*
move /Y C:\DME\temp\%%~nf.* "!newpath!"
@echo on
echo Moving file to !newpath!

Rather than trying to fix your shell script, I would recommend rewriting it in PowerShell. It will be easier to write and easier to read later.

Is it possible to batch change multiple file extensions

Is there a way to batch change file extensions? I have more than 150 files on which I need to change the extension and it's a bit of a pain to do each one separately and then have to confirm it.
Thanks!

This is where the terminal can be your friend. Open up terminal and change to the folder in question
To do this, assuming the folder is called 'myfiles' and is on your desktop:
cd ~/Desktop/myfiles
(Or you could type cd then drag the folder to the terminal window to save typing)
Then the command below will rename *.txt to *.rtf (change the two occurrences of 'txt' and the one 'rtf' as appropriate:
for f in *.txt; do base=`basename $f .txt`; mv $f $base.rtf; done

Batch Processing to Rename Files

I use batch processing to rename file in Photoshop Elements 5.0. I renamed my files with the MRW extension and the extension was changed to PSD.
I also tried batch processing to turn the MRW file into RAW files. I was able to do that but then Photoshop Elements was not able to open the newly renamed RAW files.
Any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong?
Bill

You cannot make changes to your actual raw files. You must convert them to another format to do this, which is what PE is doing. The kind of RAW files PE/PS can read or create without going through ACR (the camera raw plugin window) are not camera raw files, but photoshop raw files, a very old PS format that is not good for much these days.

Batch file rename. I have multiple files I want to rename, that have a date in their name in the mm/dd/yy format. The slashes seem to freak out the batch rename function. Any workarounds that would help me avoid manually changing each name?

OS X Yosemite 10.10.2, Macbook Air,
Finder batch file rename function. I have multiple files I want to rename, that have a date in their name in the mm/dd/yy format. The slashes seem to freak out the batch rename function and it won't work. I took out the slashes and worked fine. Any workarounds that would help me avoid manually changing each name? I should point out that I want to leave most of the name intact just change the first word in each name. Also the files I'm working with are in PDF format.

That's a comment in the file. It has no effect at all.

Batch file renaming questions

Beyond knowing that such a facility exists, I have no knowledge about Bridge scripting. Can it be used to modify the standard batch file rename process in Bridge?
I would like to rename my Canon Raw images with the date (from EXIF Date Digitised) and a sequence number that resets to zero for each new date. This sequence number should accurately reflect the order in which the images were taken (via the time component of EXIF Date Digitised). I would also like to process all files in a subdirectory structure at the same time.
The standard Bridge batch rename process does not offer a counter that resets for each new date, nor does it seem to allow processing files in more than one folder at a time.
Can this be done? Do such scripts already exist? Alternatively, are there any commercial software utilities that can do this? I am already aware of a freeware solution called DIM but am a little worried about putting my faith in something with no guaranteed ongoing support - a concern that would be addressed by a script I can control myself or a properly supported commercial solution.

Hello? Hello? Is there anyone there?
Have I posted this question in the wrong forum or is everyone on vacation?

I recently switched from years of PC to iMac ( OSX 10.7.5) and need to batch convert thousands of old WordPerfect files (many without an apparent file extension) into my new Microsoft 2011 Word. I am a computer nitwit and am hoping for some simple sol'n.

Try reindexing the mailbox. This can take awhile if you have a lot of mail.
Reindex messages.
If that doesn't work try deleting MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded3.
Quit the application.
You need to look in your user Library. Either hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command and select your user Library in your home folder or use the Finder “Go To Folder” command and enter ~/Library/Mail/V2/Mail Data/MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded3. Move the file to your desktop.
Open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the file from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return thefile to where you got it from, overwriting the newer ones.
If you prefer to make your User library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
Show User Library
You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.5. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

Batch Exporting of Different File Extensions

Just a quick question for you Aperture Gurus. (Aperture 2)
When exporting a large number of files of differnt file extension types, do you do all of them at once, or separte them into their different file extensions then batch export them.
An expample might be:
Eporting jpeg and raw files within a common album or file. I have been creating different albums, and batch exporting depending on the file extension. Has anyone tried batch exporting with different file types with success?
Thanks
Dan

I taling about the original files. Lets say I have at least 2 different master files, jpeg, and, Canon RAW in the same folder or album. Now lets say I want to batch or bulk export them all in one shot. Both jpeg, and RAW exported in one function. I set the export presets that I would like, and hit the export button with both the RAW and jpeg selected.
Do you see any concerns with doing this? I currently separate all my different files, jpeg, RAW, TIFF, etc, so I keep the exporting from messing up. I haven't actually tried mixing file types in an export function.
I'm just wondering if anyone has had any sucess with mixed file type exports?
Thanks
Dan

DW batch file rename

Hello Everyone,
I was wondering if there's a way to do a batch file rename, I
have a bunch of files that has to be renamed from _e to -eng for
example if the file is index_e.html I want to change it to
index-eng.html and update the linked files as well, I'm currently
doing it one by one using Dreamweaver but is inconvenient.
Is there a way to do that in Dreamweaver and save the typing?
Thanks

Unfortunately, no. You could use Find and Replace with a
regular
expression to change the links, but you still need to change
the file
names individually or in a third-party program.

Opening BATCH file through custom file extension

I have a situation where I've created my own filetype (.gme) to open my main java file. Each filetype has a corresponding ID which tells the application what instance of it to load. I want the file type to open a batch file which will in turn open the application. Is there code that I can give a custom file extension to open a batch file?

Check the permissions of that batch file.
It should be executable for the PI user (<sid>adm in Unix)
Regards

Snow Leopard renaming Nikon '.NEF' file extensions to '.FEF' ?

Not sure if this is the right forum for this or not -
Since installing Snow Leopard, all the file extensions for Nikon .NEF are renamed for some reason to .FEF (switches the N to an F) when copying them from my CF card to the Mac - Adobe Lightroom or Photoshop will not recognize or open them. But if I change the file extension to .NEF, it immediately changes the icon to the proper RAW thumb and Lightroom or Photoshop treats it as a normal RAW file.
Has anyone experienced this before, and do you have a fix? (other than manually renaming hundreds of files)
This happened immediately upon installing Snow Leopard.

I have read there are a lot of compatibility issues with Nikon software and Snow Leopard, I think Nikon is working on these.
What Nikon software are you referring to? You said you just copied them from the CF card to the drive. If you used Nikon Transfer, you had some sort of renaming turned on.

How to run a batch file (sounds easy...)?

Hallo,
I just tried a lot of things to run through a simple button a prepared Batch-File. I used the execute-command but it does not work proper. There is an error message.
Hope it is easy to solve. How can I execute / run / start an batch file, because just to execute it through the execute-command does not work?
Thx for help

Hey!
Try this VI (LV 6.0 and 7.1 versions included). I use it pretty much for everything. Will launch .bat and .exe, will also open most files types, like .pdf, .doc, .jpg, etc., in their respective default applications.
Good luck!
