Automator & Changing iPhoto file names

Is there an automator workflow that allows me to select certain photos within iPhoto, and change their file name? I tried to do it within Automator, but could not figure it out. Any help is appreciated.

Have you tried using:

IPhoto: After I've changed the file name/format in Finder iPhoto can't load/relink to the referenced file.

After I've changed the file name/format in Finder iPhoto can't load/relink to the referenced file anymore. For some reasons I don't like to reimport the file.

Hmm the advice has been not to use referenced libraries - you ignored and did it anyway and you find the advise not helpful
Furthermore the advice is that if you choose to use a referenced library that you assure that the path never changes - you also choose to ignore that advice and do it anyway - and you blame the peopson trying to help you
once again - you have one choice - change the file names back and put the files back in the exact same place - and again you are totally ignoring the advice and instead name calling and attacking the person giving you advice
Maybe life would be easier if you followed advice rather than ignoring it and then complaining that things no longer work
change the name back and you will be fine until the next problem you hit that is caused by choosing a referenced library
Have a nice day

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.

Can Desktop (Desktop/Screensaver in Sys Pref) display iPhoto file names?

I have my Desktop set up to display iPhoto pictures randomly, once a minute. Since I have thousands of pictures, I would love to find a way to have Desktop annotate each picture with the iPhoto file name so I could find a picture I like easily?
Thanks in advance.

Yes that would be a pain if you had to do it. The good news is you don't. There a plenty of ways to get to the pics:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
To upload to MySpace or any site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use THIS
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
Also, for 10.5 users: If you use the extended Open or Attach dialogue (with Column View) you can scroll to the bottom of the Shortcuts and find the Media browser there. Select any pic you want from there.

Changing the file name of photo in Finder.

I need to change the file name of my photos. I have changed the settings so that they show on iPhoto as 001, 002 etc - but I need this information to also be set in Finder. Is this possible?
NikiKL

No - iPhoto is a photo database and it controls the files - you can not - in fact must not (if you make any changes in the structure or content of the iPhoto library you will corrupt it and lose data) -- and there is no reason to - you have full access to your files - <a href-"http://web.me.com/larryhn/iPhoto08_(version_7.x.x)_FAQ/Accessing_iPhotoPhotos.html"> click here for a discussion of the many ways to properly and safely access your photos -- and you can always export them using the title for the file name to have them outside iPhoto with any name you desire

How do I change a file name of a photo

I am new to the Mac and running Yoesomite. I wanted to know can I change the file name of a photo in iPhoto. If not, then is the process to export the file to the desktop and then change the file name using cmd i. I used to be able to do this in Windows easily but now I am not sure how to do this on a Mac.

You can take the photo you need from iPhoto Library in Pictures. Click it with right mouse button and choose Show Package Contents. In that folder that opens, choose Masters and now you can find the photo that you needed, but it will take some time as there are many folders and some may be empty. Copy that photo to Desktop and do what you want from that point.
Don't do that.
It's utterly unnecessary, slow and difficult and worse, risks dataloss.
Use the simple and supported ways.
Export using File -> export, or use a Media Browser.
When uploading to Wordpress there is no need to rename the file. Just upload it from the Media Browser (*see below) and you can title it in the Wordpress dialogue.
*For help accessing your photos in iPhoto see this user tip:

Change multiple files name at once

Hi
I would like to know if someone knows how to change multiple files name in mac. I need to name hundreds of files name, and dont want to do it one by one ... Example: Change from: Doc 1, Doc 2, Doc3 ...to: 2010Summer1; 2010Summer2,etc...
Thanks in advance for any help,
Joao

Make an Automator workflow that changes the name. You would Replace text of "Doc" with "2010Summer". When you open Automator, choose Workflow. Drag in a Get Selected Finder Items and then drag in a Rename Finder Items. Select the "Replace Text" option. Fill in the Details, select the files in the Finder, and then run the workflow.
There are also some third-party file renamers. Check MacUpdate or VersionTracker. I don't know if there are any free ones.

I can not transfer date from one hard drive to another, I keep getting an error because I have two of the same file names and one file name is in caps and I cant change the file name

can not transfer date from one hard drive to another, I keep getting an error because I have two of the same file names and one file name is in caps and I cant change the file name. My original external has an error and needs to be reformatted but I dont want to lose this informations its my entire Itunes library.

Sounds like the source drive is formatted as case sensitive and the destination drive is not. The preferred format for OS X is case insensitive unless there is a compelling reason to go case sensitive.
Why can't you change the filename? Is it because the source drive is having problems? If so is this happening with only one or two or a few files? If so the best thing would be to copy those over individually and then rename them on the destination drive.
If it is more then you can do manually and you can't change the name on the source you will have to reformat the destination as case sensitive.
Btw this group is for discussion of the Support Communities itself, you;d do better posting to Lion group. I'll see if a host will move it.

If I change a file name, how can I get all the links to update?

I've recently finished my webpage
(kensingtonconcertseries.com),.....then my client wanted to change
the name of one of his pages from 'Marold Duo' to
'Rodewald-Morebello Duo.' All of my links to that page are to the
original page(MaroldDuo.html). Arrrhhhhh!!! Is there anyway I can
change the name of the page and have all the links within the
website update automatically?
I figured out my problem...make a copy and rename it and put
it on the server. Simple....eventually, I'll have to get rid of the
original file, but for now works well.

How to change the file name of pdf file in html page?

Hi,
Actually my requirement is to upload 50 PDF files containing javascript in each file into flex page with the help of one html page.
i did the the javascript part by using batch processing.
now i want to call those pdf files one after another without changing the file name in html page
the code written in html page is
<html>
 <body>
 <object id="PDFObj"
 data="http:\\localhost\pdf\20090807 - Batch 630.pdf"
 type="application/pdf"
 width="100%"
 height="100%">
 </object>
 </body>
</html>
So every time i have to change that file name to acess another file.
Is there is any other way to sort this problem????
Plz anyone help me to sort out this problem with some code or some example.

I once had a similar task for creating a webpage that I only use on my computer--a webpage that accesses PDF's and SWF's font previews from a list of fonts as "a href's". What you must do is utilize the power of the command line, whether on a Mac on a PC or on Linux, Linux being the most powerful (although Mac IS Unix). You must utilize variables, variable replacement, and then a command to print out the results of a "for" or "while" loop to a text file which will be your HTML file with each individual link automatically built into the HTML code. You will have a list of 50 links. If you are simply looking for a GOOGLE type functionality where you click on "Next" and "Previous" you will have to dig deeper into variable replacement--this I don't know how to do yet but there are books for command-line shell interpreters. One shell interpreter is called "bash" (born-again shell) and there is a book on the market which gives a detailed example of how to replace variables in a shell script. Again, I don't know how it works. I will try to learn this at a later time when I am more seasoned with the basics of shell scripting.

Finder changes the file name in Save/Save As dialogue box

Whenever I save or save as a file, the dialogue box opens, but when I make the file list active when using a mouse, the file name I click to changes the file name I am saving. I simply want to activate the file list window so I can find the right folder. For example if I am looking for a folder called "Receipts" I want to be able to click on the file list window to activate it and then type the first 2 letters of the folder-- "re" and then save the file in that folder. The finder keeps changing the name of the current file whenever I click on one of the "greyed-out" file names? This doesn't make sense unless of course I want to replace that file.
Is there a shortcut that makes the file list window in the dialogue box active while in the SAVE/SAVE AS dialogue box??

Yes, this example of horrible UI design has been a problem since "Panther". It illustrates what happens when you try to copy UI behaviour from another OS, do it poorly, and end up with a mess. In 10.3 and 10.4, the combination of the renaming behaviour with the default "replace" selection in the resulting save can result in data loss.
Compared to the old Mac OS where a tab would flip the focus between the text field for the file name and the file browser, the current behaviour either doesn't allow enough keyboard access to controls, or with "full access" enabled, too many to cycle through easily. The inability to switch focus to the file browser using the mouse (depending on the view) is a horrible productivity loss. Having to recheck the filename before saving is a horrible productivity loss. Since there is no "undo" for the renaming in most files, having to retype the name is again, a horrible productivity loss.
If they had done it right (a simple change, like requiring a modifier to rename), users would probably welcome the "rename" feature as a useful addition. Instead, it has the feel of something a junior Windows-trained programmer slipped in past their supervisor.
In short, I am not aware of any workaround or hack to avoid this "renaming" behaviour. I doubt it will do any good since people have been doing so since "Panther", but you could try submitting feedback:

Changing the file name dynamicallly in file Adapter - NullPointerException

Hey Luis,
the container object only exists in message mapping runtime.
Thus you're getting a null pointer exception there.
For java mappings, remember that you have a .setParameter() method (which is necessary from definition of StreamTransformation interface),
which sets the private variable param with the transformation parameters. In your .execute() method, just use it like this:
DynamicConfiguration conf = param.get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);

Changing the file name dynamicallly in file Adapter

Hi i want to change the file name directly from Java Mapping in the file adapter
for this i have written this code
DynamicConfiguration dynamicConfiguration = (DynamicConfiguration)map.get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
 DynamicConfigurationKey keyFile = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
 DynamicConfigurationKey keyDir = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","Directory");
 dynamicConfiguration.put(keyFile,fileName);
 dynamicConfiguration.put(keyDir,outputpath);
but it gives a null pointer exception at dynamicConfiguration.put(keyFile,fileName);
please suggest.
regards
Nilesh Taunk.

Hi Nilesh,
If your requirement is to create , the file name dynamically for your receiver file adapter, you can do so using your FILE ADAPTER CONFIGURATION itself, and need not go for any JAVA Mappping / Java Code at all.
The dynamic filename generation concept is as follows.
In your filename field in the receiver file adapter, just give a variable with % symbols. (eg: %file% ).
Now, under the option Variable Name Substitution, you can give how the value has to be created.
It can be your interface name, sender service name, etc or it can be some value dynamically from your payload.
For the former, your give
message:interface_name ,etc
and for the payload part you give,
Payload: "your element root which u wanna acecss"
Just check this link out,
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/bc/bb79d6061007419a081e58cbeaaf28/content.htm
And read the contents under variable substitution and it will help you understand the concepts better.
Also, in your FILE Adapter under the option FILE CREATION MODE, you have options like,
1.Add Counter,
2. Append
3. Create
4. Add Time Stamp
If you have any clarifications on this approach, do get back.

DNG Converter changes my file names

What is the correct setting for keeping original the names when converting RAW files? When I try the default "Document Name" it replaces the first letter of the original file number with an underscore (_). In place of P1010036.RW2, for instance, it provides _1010036.dng. To me an underscore is a less than ideal as they way to start a file name.
None of the other options seem appropriate. All the assorted serial number options are shorter than the serial numbers of the original Panasonic files.
Suggestions much appreciated.

I thought I'd posted a reply but I failed to make it stick, somehow. Anyway, thanks Jim for that. Makes perfect sense.
Except I've just had a further thought. Why would Adobe change a file name to distinguish between color spaces if DNGs/RAWs are color-space agnostic? Where it would make sense is with jpegs, but name-changing doesn't happen there, of course, as there's no conversion taking place.

Changing the File Name

Hi
i am designing a adobe form which will be send in mail when a button is clicked, i found that the attachment name to be "unknown.pdf". how can i change this ???
i found out a method called getAcrobatApplicationName() in XML and when i changed application name in that its not getting reflected. So is there any other way to change the file name on "Button Click" event?
Thanks
Gopal

Hi Gopal,
See if it helps:
In NW2004s we use the following. getPdf() returns a byte[], the filename is "document-<username>.pdf" and source is the attribute of an IFrame UI element.
code
private void initPdf() {
IWDResource resource =
WDResourceFactory.createResource(
getPdf(),
"document-"
+ WDClientUser.getLoggedInClientUser().getSAPUser().getUniqueName(),
WDWebResourceType.PDF);
String source =
resource.getUrl(WDFileDownloadBehaviour.OPEN_INPLACE.ordinal());
wdContext.currentContextElement().setSource(source);
[/code]
On NW2004 we use a FileDownload UI element (with target=_self) and we call initFileBinaryType method in the wdDoInit method. Of course you still need to set the binary PdfData context attribute with the actual content of the PDF file.
code
private void initFileBinaryType() {
IWDModifiableBinaryType pdf =
initFileBinaryType(IPrivateTestAppView.IContextElement.PDF_DATA);
pdf.setFileName("document-"
+ WDClientUser.getLoggedInClientUser().getSAPUser().getUniqueName());
pdf.setMimeType(WDWebResourceType.PDF);
private IWDModifiableBinaryType initFileBinaryType(String attribute) {
return (IWDModifiableBinaryType) wdContext
.getNodeInfo()
.getAttribute(attribute)
.getModifiableSimpleType();
[/code]
