Batch Rename Issues - CS5 - Win7

Bridge (4.0.2.1) will not Batch Rename in sequential order. Have tried several times on different folders and get the same results each time.
For example:
Folder with 280 images. I request a Batch Rename in Same Folder, numbered sequentially starting with 001+JobName+Original File Name.jpg.
What I get is: sequential 001 to 051, then 096, 098, 100, 102 - 106, then 052 -107, then doubles - 2x 108, 2x 109, 2x 110, 2x 111, 2x 112, 2x 113, 2x 114, 2x 115, 2x 116, 2x 117, 2x 118, 2x 119, 2x 120, then 121-258.
I've never experienced anything like this, ANY HELP APPRECIATED!! I do not want to name over 1000 total files by hand!

Bridge Batch Rename Issues!!!

I'm having problems using "batch rename" in Bridge. I run two machines at work, on one the "rename in same folder" option is ALWAYS non-selectable. On my other machine I can select the option to save in same folder but when I "select all" and then batch rename Bridge automatically deselects some of the images and only renames those that are left selected. Needless to say this is pointless and I end up in Photo Mechanic.
My co-worker and I both have this issue, both run two computers. We're running OS 10.4.1 and CS3.
Anyone have a similar issue or even better a fix?!
Thanks,

You are better off with this .. http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/14404
Called R-name - its a small freeware application that I use all the time, quicker and less problematic than using Bridge. Been using it for years with no problems at all, works with drag and drop too.

Batch rename - adobe fail

My batch rename function is no longer working. I have purged and restarted - still no luck.

Hello. It worked at first but now will either not rename or rename some leaving others with a temp batch rename. CS5, OS lion. File types are jpgs.

After updating Macbook to Yosemite, Adobe Bridge CS5.1 will not batch rename .jpgs without corrupting the files. How can I fix this?

I have a student who when he tries to batch rename his .jpgs in Adobe Bridge CS5.1, the files will become corrupted and will not be able to open them. The extension is off. How can I correct this for him?

Wait, I just caught this:

Are you referring to the 3-letter ".jpg" extension being deleted? You can't do that, of course! If that is still the case, you'll have to add it manually to each JPEG file.

Bridge CS5 Win Batch Rename sets milliseconds to 000

Am using BridgeCS5 (Windows7) to Batch Rename (either during download from Lexar Card Reader using Bridge, or during download from Canon 7D with Cable via Bridge- or to batch rename files already in a folder within Bridge)
when I use YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS_milliseconds, milliseconds are set to 000 (thus photos are not in order necessarily if photos taken during burst mode), yet if I use YYYYMMMDD_HHMMSS_milliseconds, it sorts properly.
Have tried this multiple times, and it is *usually* reproducable - I did a batch rename on a subset of photos, and Bridge got the rename right, but then did a batch rename on the entire lot of photos, and preview said it would set the milliseconds to 000, even on the photos it got right in the subset-experiment
I need to use numeric month designation (MM) for proper file sequencing, as alpha (MMM) puts months out of chronological order.
I did NOT notice this problem in the past (say, 3-4 months ago) but it is possible I missed it.
I am NOT syncing multiple cameras or trying to integrate files from multiple cards.
BridgeCS5 is up to date with all patches.
(I checked the EXIF data on the files themselves, and it is correct, the milliseconds denote the proper image sequence, the camera is recording the files to card in correct sequence - in fact, exloring the card, all images are in proper sequence)
By having files renamed (without a sequence number added to the batch rename configuration) with milliseconds to 000, not only are they out of order, but Bridge is willing to have several files with the same exact name.
I'd be interested in a solution that allows me to continue using Bridge only for my workflow.
thanks - stir

Hi-
I see milliseconds (Canon 7D) listed as
(see Advanced tab)
3rd folder down titled "exif Properties"
eg: exif:DateTimeOriginal: 2011-07-30T10:43:12.64-04:00 whereby the camera has ordered the photos using 10:43:12.64, 10:43:12.99, etc when writing to the card. (I intepret the .64 and the .99 in these examples to be the milliseconds - am I mistaken?)
Realizing of course, the fact that Bridge is setting milliseconds to 000 is not the biggest concern, the biggest concern is that the photos are out of order when they are imported using the Batch Rename YYYYMMDD (but not when using YYYYMMMDD - notice the three M's there)
This error occurs whether telling Bridge to sort specifically via Time or not - Bridge (when using YYYYMMDD) will reorder the images even if I don't add HHMMSS and milliseconds to the sort, or even if I do - the problem seems to be the YYYYMMDD - it may also be other Date-sorting, but so far I have only used the one (that doesn't work) and the other (that does, but is useless for keeping the dates/months in numerical order)
Again, on CF card, the photos are properly ordered, as evidenced by the subject matter and the milliseconds shown in the DateTimeOriginal exif data
But in Bridge, when batch renaming, the order of the photos is mixed up, and this is evidenced by the new file names (say, if I add a sequence number to the rename)
btw, I have Bridge rename set to preserve XMP data and original file name, but whether I do or not doesn't seem to matter.
I'm shooting JPGs in Burst Mode (shouldn't matter, as the files on card are properly ordered)
(so far I have had 2 Canon reps tell me there are no milliseconds, but the exif data clearly shows that, I think? - I have sent them a screen shot of the file info, showing the exif field, and have not since heard a response saying "nuh uh"... it's still early in the day, though they normally respond within 30 minutes)
Thank you for your time - Stir

Batch Rename in Bridge CS5

Hi,
I'm new to Bridge and need to batch rename files.
Current filename example: 608309400035_PrimaryImage_Hardware.jpg
Renamed file example: 608309400035.MAIN.jpg
Is there a script I can use to accomplish this?
Thanks for your help!

How can I rename my pics in Bridge CS5?

How can I renams my pics in Bridge CS5?

Here's what is in the Bridge cs5 help pdf file. (I was not able to find this same help info from clicking help in Bridge cs5).
Batch rename files
You can rename files in a group, or batch. When you batch rename files, you can choose the same settings for all the selected files. For other batch-processing tasks, you can use scripts to run automated tasks.
1 Select the files that you want to rename.
2 Choose Tools > Batch Rename.
3 Set the following options:
Destination Folder
Place the renamed files in the same folder, move them to another folder, or place copies in another folder. If you choose to put the renamed files in a different folder, click Browse to select the folder.
New Filenames
Choose elements from the menus and enter text as appropriate to create new filenames. Click the Plus button [+] or Minus button [-] to add or delete elements.
•String Substitution
Allows you to change all or part of a filename to custom text. First, choose what you want to replace: Original Filename replaces the string from the original filename. Intermediate Filename replaces a string that is defined by preceding options in the New Filenames pop-up menus. Use Regular Expression allows you to use regular expressions to find strings based on patterns in filenames. Replace All replaces all substrings that match the pattern in the source string.
Options
Select Preserve Current Filename In XMP Metadata to retain the original filename in the metadata. For Compatibility, select the operating systems with which you want renamed files to be compatible. The current operating system is selected by default, and cannot be deselected.
Preview
One current and new filename appear in the Preview area at the bottom of the Batch Rename dialog box. To see how all selected files will be renamed, click the Preview button.
4 (Optional) Select a preset from the Presets menu to renaming with frequently used naming schemes. To save batch rename settings for reuse, click Save.

Issue with Adobe Bridge batch rename crashing

Hi, I have been trying to rename photo files in Adobe Bridge CC using the batch rename tool. I have just started using CC apps. All the updates are done. It crashes after doing just a few files. Started with 40 files at a time, crashed. Empty folder cache. Tried with 20 files, worked for a few times then crashed again. Tried 10 files and it crashed immediately. I found directions online (unfortunately it was for CS5, but I assume it's similar to CC). Any ideas on what to do differently? I really need to get these photos renamed and to a client tomorrow. Thanks in advance for any help.
Cheryl

Video card is updated, though I've been getting an error message on it.
I'm not sure what this should have to do with your batch rename problem. Your specs seem more then sufficient and batch renaming does only save the files you already have cached.
First check if you have enough free space left on your disk (at least 10 - 15 % free space is needed for good operation of your system and apps) and also try to reset preferences for Bridge by holding down contrl key while restarting Bridge. Check reset preferences from the pop up window and try again.

Bridge hangs on batch rename

I would like to run Bridge CS5 to import images from CF cards (among other reasons, to eliminate the need for PhotoMechanic for importing) in the following way:
1. acquire images from multiple CF cards from multiple cameras using the yyyymmdd sequence
2. sort images by Date Created (i.e. the camera date/time taken)
3. batch rename all sorted files into the sequence "tfnnnnnn"
4. move various selected images into a new directory(s)
This process works up to and including the #3 (batch rename) function. However, after file rename takes place, Bridge CS5 hangs and will not terminate. The resulting screen display is stuck with the "yyyymmdd" file names. I have to cancel bridge and restart. Examination of the directory after the rename indicates the rename was successful with each renamed file having an image file and an associated xmp file and all files are accounted for.
Is this a problem with Bridge or have I done something wrong?
OS is WinXP 32 bit.

I just installed photoshop on win7 64bit. things work correctly

"/" key in bridge batch rename but instead it puts an "_"

Hi Guys
having problem with CS5! i want to type out the "/" key in bridge batch rename but instead it puts an "_". ANY HELP!?

"/" is an invalid character in filename of Windows file system, so Batch Rename automatically changes it to "_".
A filename can't contain following characters: \/:?*<>"|

On CS5, how can I recover jpeg images that were Batch Renamed prior to removal from my flashcard?

On CS5, how can you recover JPEG images that were accidentally Batch Renamed prior to removal from a flash card? Is it a total lose or can they be saved somehow?

If they were renamed on the flash card that is a poor practice. If renamed in Bridge the old names can be recovered it you have checked "preserve original name in XMP". If not you are out of luck. But you still have the images correct?

Adobe Bridge Batch Rename Stopped Working

ive been using bridge exclusively to rename/
organize my files and today for some odd reason it just will not work. i select the files i wish to rename and then select batch rename and name/numer the files as ive always done before and when i click rename nothing happens at all. i cleared out my cache to no avail and im now officially stumped. any help is appreciated. thanks!

Your problem does seem odd. Difficult to troubleshoot by remote, so run a few tests and see if you can narrow the problem down.
By any chance are you trying a batch re-name of files on an external drive? If so may be permissioning problem.
Do you have this problem in all folders or just one? If one there may be a contaminated file or name (i.e. flower.jpeg.jpeg)
To avoid fouling up your files copy a dozen or so and put in "test" folder then run these tests.
Can you do a simple rename of one file?
Can you do a batch rename of one file?
If the above is true can you do batch rename for all files in this folder?
If so does the extension make any difference - jpeg, psd, etc.?

Batch rename in Adobe CC Bridge does not work. Is there any fix for this problem?

Hi,
I'm using Adobe CC Bridge to batch rename a folder of RAW files. Version 6.0.1.6. I've got the latest Mac Pro running Maverick. I set up the parameters in the Batch Rename tool, but when I hit Rename, nothing happens. Is there anything I can do to fix this problem? Is anyone else experiencing this? Adobe can you fix this bug?

I am experiencing this same (or related) bug with using the batch rename inside of Bridge CC (Mac OS X 10.9.5).
First I filter out a subset of a folder of images that I want to batch-rename, then on the 12 or so thumbs I selected, I invoke the "batch-rename" dialog box... it presents its usual options, which work the first time. Subsequent attempts fail.
I close the search filter, I re-type my filter, I close the bridge window, re-open the bridge window, etc. to no avail.
It's interesting to note at this point, the program won't quit; it has to be force-quit.

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.
