Batch Change Question

When doing Batch Change, I want to use my own custom lists (views). A lot of my normal views are grayed out. Can I create my own views, such as "All Exif" and then batch change the values in any of those fields?

Hi
If you make your selection as you suggest then make sure you click the 'Stamp selected images' button on the Lift and Stamp HUD you should find all selected images and not just the highlighted one have the adjustment applied. For some reason, for me at least, just trying to use the stamp tool on a selection results in only the highlighted image having the adjustment applied.
Hope this helps

'Batch Change' question - Need to adjust month only...

Hi,
I've got a question about using Batch Change. A good portion of my photos have the right Day and Time, however they are one month off.
Is there any way that I can change only the month using Batch Change, or am I stuck?
Perhaps there is another way to change the month besides Batch Change?

you want the adjust time and date command - photos menu ==> adjust time and date

Batch change dates - question?

Can batch change (or some other app) change the date of the first pic in an event and then simply adjust ALL other pic dates by the 'change delta' you adjusted the first pic by? I just did a batch change and every pic in the event now has same date/time although the event spans several days. Seems like a 'no brainer' to me for a computer to apply this same delta to all pics - but I'm not a computer guy. Thanks in advance!

Yes what you want is adjust date and time - just above batch change in the photos menu -- select a group of photos and the entire group will be adjusted by the delta of the first one
You have the option of modifying the original which I usually recommend
Since you have already changed the dates and times on some of the photos you want to adjust you may need to go back to a backup of them prior to having their information changed - depends on if you modified the originals or not

Batch changing Word docs to Pages

I've been using Word for years, now converting to Pages. In searching for a way to quickly convert all my documents to Pages, I've read posts here and found only advice for handling things one at a time -- though I may have missed a post. But I have found a possible answer, yet not sure of the consequences, so please advise. If you
1. Click on a document and click on "more info"
2. Open with option - select Pages. Just below this line are the words, "Use this application to open all documents like this, and the option button, "Change All..."
So I pick an unimportant file and do this, and receive the message after pressing "Change All":
"Are you sure you want to change all your Microsoft Word documents to open with the application 'Pages'? This change will apply to all Microsoft Word documents with type W8BN."
One, I don't have any clue what documents will be included because of the "W8BN," because this is a designation I've never heard of, don't know how it is assigned. It is very specific to whether the document is all text, or who authored it, or does it literally refer to all current Word documents made with the version of Word I have (Microsoft Word X)?
Until I know this, and the consequences of pressing "Change All," I won't do this. But if this is a truly simple and non-destructive way to batch change, how wonderful!
To further complicate matters, I need this question answered for Leopard AND Tiger, as my husband is one and I am on the other....
Thanks in advance,
Tonia

Yvan,
I have downloaded your ForPages:batchWord2Pages.zip to try and convert a group of Word files to Pages. As the script asks, I have saved it as an application bundle. When I drop a folder (or a group of files) onto the saved application bundle Pages opens but then my system gets stuck in a loop. The computer makes a rapid 'bonging' noise (the sort it makes if you click a button by mistake) and then nothing else will work. I cannot force quit anything or use activity monitor to close any tasks. All I can do is hold the power switch to make the computer switch off.
I have tried this on both my iMac & Mac Book Pro. Both run 10.5.2 and Pages 3.0.2. The same thing happens on both machines.
Is there something else I need to set in the script before I save it as an application bundle?
Thanks for any help you can provide

How to batch change the standard value of routing

Dear all,
         I meet a problem, and need you help.
        As you know, we can use T-code "CS20" to batch change a component's quantity in different Bom by a factor.
       for example: Component a in Fert. A, quantity change from 6g x 0.9 = 5.4g
                           Component a in Fert. B, quantity change from 8g x 0.9 = 7.2g
       now, my question is how to Batch change the standard value in routing. (select by work center) CA85N can select the value, but seems can not batch change by a factor,
       thanks in advance

Batch-change date (time)...

I know you can batch-change the date in iPhoto, and there's the option to add X seconds between each photo, but what I need to do is change the time by XX seconds/hours. Basically, this weekend we had two camera shooting a trip we were on. I thought both cameras were synched (clocks) but one camera was off by 12 hours (it was on AM when should have been PM). So, I need to add 12 hours to each photo for the 1 camera. Is there any way to do this via a batch (ie. not manually going through each of the 150+ photos and setting the time) so when I make an album of shots from both camera, sort by date/time, they synch up.
If there's no way to do this in iPhoto, could anyone suggest another application that could do this before importing into iPhoto?
Thanks,
Kristin.

Rather than start a new topic, I'm going to just refer to this one since it's recent and exactly the issue I was trying to solve. My situation is that I bought a new camera in January and still had 2006 on my mind, so all the pictures I've taken this year are off by a year. I used PhotoInfo to change the EXIF data folder by folder in my iPhoto Library folder (by this I mean I had to batch change every folder in Originals/2007 and Modified/2007). 2 folders didn't take the changes, but that's another issue for a different forum.
Most of my pictures now have the correct EXIF data, however iPhoto doesn't show the correct info when I select the menu item Photos>Get Iinfo. Doing some searches here says that the only way to update iPhoto is to reimport the photos with the new EXIF data. My question is how do I do that without screwing everything up? I have originals and modified versions of files that are affected. How do I bring them back in such that if I use the Revert to Original command in the contextual menu that the modified files are still correctly linked to the originals?
A secondary question is whether iPhoto is really the program I want to use. Most of my major changes I make using Photoshop. Recently after making changes in Photoshop as well as a few minor tweaks in iPhoto (I don't remember which order) when I tried to revert to the original it no longer existed. It reverted to a modified file (modified in PS or iPhoto, don't remember which). Since then I've been making a duplicate in iPhoto and then modify that one in PS as well as iPhoto. However, after making modifications in PS I have to save it as a JPG in order to keep it organized with all my photos in iPhoto. It would be nice to keep a PSD copy filed along side it. Should I be using something else besides iPhoto that handles EXIF information and changes seemlessly as well as JPG and PSD (and probably RAW in the future)?
Thanks in advance for any info/tips.

How do you Batch change TV Shows/Movies/Music Videos?

Hi,
I have a bunch of short films in my iTunes library that I want to change to TV Shows, the only way i have found that I can do this is going one by one and changing them. My question is whether or not there is a 3rd party applescript of application that allows me to batch change these video files, within or outside of iTunes.
Thanks for the help!
Gabe

Thanks Meg,

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 change - Email generation

Hello Gurus,
I have a requirement related to batch change (MSC2N). Whenever a user changes batch characteristics on classification tab and hits the save button, an email needs to be generated to a mailing list. This is not required for all the changes though, for example, if there are batch characteristics from A through E, report only when a batch characteristic is changed from B to E and C to E.
Is there a user exit for MSC2n where in I can code this functionality? Please help me, and Thanks a lot in advance.

Please read my question carefully, this is, I think, a question for the experts. It's not the usual name change question.
When I setup my new MacBook Pro, something slipped by me and my computer was named First-Lasts-MacBook-Pro (using my real first and last name).
I changed the computer name in Preferences/Sharing to a new name and Preferences/Accounts to just be Mike. I can right click on my account name, choose advanced, and see that everything looks right.
However, If I do a scan of my network with my iPhone using the free version of IP Scanner, it lists my computer as First-Lasts-MacBook-Pro! And it lists the user as First-Last.
So even though another Mac just sees my new computer name, and my home folder is Mike, somewhere in the system the original setup with my full name is still stored. And it's available on a network scan. So my full name might show up at a coffee shop.
Can I fully change the name without doing a complete re-install of Lion and all my apps?

One thought... you said the iPhone displayed your computer's old name? I think that you must have used the iPhone with this computer before you changed the name. So no one else's iPhone should display your full name unless that iPhone had previously connected to your Mac. For example, I did this exact same change, and I use the Keynote Remote app to connect with my MacBook Pro. It would no longer link with my MacBook Pro under the old name, and I found that I had to unlink and then create a new link under the new name. So the answer to your question is, there is nothing you need to do on the Mac, but rather the phone, and no other phone will display your full name.

How can I batch change the view options of multiple playlists?

I would like to select multiple playlists and batch change their view options; seems like an obvious feature that should be there, but it does not seem to be there. I know of Assimilate View Options v2.2 in Doug's AppleScripts, but this is not what I want, since AWO requires you to do the change playlist by playlist, i.e., not in batch mode (and I have hundreds of playlists ...). Any idea? Please answer privately at [email protected] since I do not read this forum regularly. Thanks in advance for your help!

did you also check out the following script ?
[_*Change Hidden iTunes Preferences v2.4*_|http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=changehiddenprefs]
This application will allow you to invoke hidden iTunes preferences:
Show "Library" playlist

Allow half-stars in ratings
Hide "Ping" buttons
Show/hide arrow links -- to either search the iTunes Store or search your library
Load complete iTunes Store preview before playing
Create playlists for purchased song collections
Play songs while importing or converting
Create file names with track number
Maintain grid view for Search results
Option-click zoom button for Mini Player

How to batch change a date in aperture

Is it possible to batch change a date in aperture the way I do it in iphoto (command option B)? I dont want relative dates, I want a group of scanned pictures (negatives) to have the same date, but separated by one second.

Dale,
Aperture does not support this. I wrote a little Apple Script to adjust the data and time like iPhoto and posted it on my web page. You may have a look and take this as a starting point. I wrote the script last year; so it has only been tested with Aperture 3.2.4 and Lion, not with the current version: The script is here: Adjust Date and Time in fixed increments
But no guarantees given for the current Aperture version 3.4.3.
Regards
Léonie

How to batch change year only?

I would like to batch change the year only (leaving all other metadata, to include day and time, the same. In a recent 5 day shoot I have discovered that my camera was set on 2013 rather than 2014. Is this possible? The date, to include year, does not seem to be an option under metadata batch change. If I select all the photos and then change the year, it seems that all of them will also be set to the exact same day and time. I am looking for an option other than changing the year on each one separately. Thanks!

The result would be that all photos have the exact same date (month/day/year) and exact same time.
What am I missing?
The small print! (in the dialog to change the date/time). It says: 'The original date and time of the primary selection is shown below. Adjust it to the correct time and all selected versions will be time-shifted accordingly".
What it means is based on the time difference you give it for the primary image, it will apply the same difference (time-shift) to all the others.

How to batch change in new Photo app

I switched over to the new Photo app. I imported my photos from my iPhone, and then went to batch change the titles (which I use to search for specific pictures and places). I can't find an option anywhere to change anything more than one photo at a time! I uploaded over 200 pictures, I can't make modifications a photo at a time.
Someone help me please!

I can't make modifications a photo at a time.
Someone help me please!
Batch change the titles in another app before you import the photos into Photos, for example in iPhoto.
Or use keywords instead of titles. You can select multiple photos and assign a keyword to all photos at the same time from the Keyword Manager.
