Batch rename files that have non consecutive numbers?
I have a folder with about 100 image files that have non consecutive numbers. Is there a way to rename them all to add something after the numbers (and before file type extension) without changing the numbers?
Example: If I select 111019.003.dng and 111019.007.dng, is there a way to batch rename to 111019.003_tk.dng and 111019.007_tk.dng?
Of course, simply batch renaming w/ a sequence number would change them to 111019.003_tk.dng and 111019.004_tk.dng. Which is no good.
I realize the easiest way around this is to name them correctly the first time, but I am not the photographer.
Hope this makes sense, and thanks.
You can bulk rename in Bridge IE:-

Script to rename files that have similar names?
Hi, folks.
I have my RAW files in one folder and my derivative images (e.g., PSDs, TIFFs, JPEGs) in another. The derivative files only share the last four digits of the RAW file names (e.g., the RAW file is named 100826-14278.CR2 but the JPEG version is only named 4278.JPG). Also, the derivative files have no metadata.
Is there a way to use a script to match all the derivatives to the RAW files based on the last four digits, then change their file names to match the RAW names. And, if that's possible, can Bridge then cascade the metadata minus the camera data EXIF from the RAW files to the derivative files?
Thanks!
-Greg
P.S. My knowledge of scripting stops with cursive handwriting, so please be gentle.Thanks the coffee was great!
Here is a new version with subfolder support. Just select the folders as normal and it will search derivitive subfolders.

I cannot re-open files that have been saved in Numbers version09 - it states "You need a newer version of numbers to open this document". This is the latest version & also the one I have created/saved???
Jules,
You may delete Numbers 08 if you wish, but some folks like keeping it around. Close all your Numbers docs and Quit the Numbers app, and the other Numbers app if necessary.Then click the Numbers icon on your doc. Then select Numbers > About Numbers, and in the window that pops up, see which version it is. If the Dock icon started Numbers 08, you can cure that by dragging that icon off the Dock and letting it go in a puff of virtual smoke.
Now, to put the Numbers 09 icon on the Dock, double-click one of those known Numbers 09 documents so that Numbers 09 starts up. Verify by checkig Numbers > about Numbers.
Now click and hold the Numbers Dock icon and select the Option for Keep in Dock.

Sedname - Batch rename files using sed
Renaming files using sed is nothing new, but this script makes the process a little more friendly and adds a few features, including insertion of sequential numbers and a simulation mode. The output of any find command can also be piped through sedname.
sedname version 1.0.0
Batch-renames files using a sed script
Usage: sedname [OPTIONS] SEDSCRIPT FILE ...
Usage: find [...] | sedname [OPTIONS] SEDSCRIPT
Example: sedname 's/\(.*\)\.jpg/\1.jpeg/' *.jpg
Example: find /mypics | sedname 's/\(.*\)\.jpg/\1.jpeg/'
OPTIONS:
--sim simulate only
--dir rename directories too
Use #D to insert a number with D digits forming a unique filename
Example: sedname 's/thisname.*/thatname#3/' *
( changes thisname* to thatname001, thatname002, ... )
Use #0 in replacement name to insert a number if needed
Example: sedname 's/thisname.*/thatname#0/' *
( changes thisname* to thatname, thatname1, thatname2, ... )

How can I batch rename files to original (embedded in metadata) file names?
If you are saying that your photos have their original filename stored as the DocumentName field in the EXIF metadata, you can use the free ExifToolGUI:
http://www.softpedia.com/get/PORTABLE-SOFTWARE/Multimedia/Graphics/Portable-ExifToolGUI.sh tml
It requires the free ExifTool:
http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/ExifTool-Download-90656.html
ExifToolGUI allows you to rename files using that DocumentName field -- just be sure the extension is included.
Added:
I just installed those latest versions, and there isn't the file renaming option any more.
Can probably be done by setting up an ExifTool commandline, but I haven't experimented with that yet.

I use PSE 5.
I name all my images before I import them into Organizer. Here is an example: 2007-11-01 071500 Bolsa Chica pelican -- meaning this picture of a pelican was taken November 1, 2007 at 7:15AM. I may have a dozen or more images of pelicans from that day, but taken at different times obviously. If I would like to rename/batch rename these files to indicate brown pelicans instead of just pelicans, can I do it within the program and still retain the date and the different times for images?
I can't find a way to do it. And I've searched this site as well as The Missing Manual. I've been using PSE since Ver. 3, but have always used another program to batch rename files. I'm guessing Adobe expects users to rely on tags, otherwise they would have a more "sophisticated" batch rename capability.
But am I missing something about batch renaming? Sorry for the very long post . . .
WendellI have several bones to pick with PSE5's file rename ability (in Organizer, go to File, Rename), primarily the 30-character limit on new names.
I use long file names like
2007-11-11 Al and Nadia wedding NYC roses-1.jpg
2007-11-11 Al and Nadia wedding NYC roses-2.jpg
2007-11-11 Al and Nadia wedding NYC Peter and Julie.jpg
The spaces make for easier legibility to humans.
If I were to include these files in a web address, I'd use hyphens.
For this past Thanksgiving I toiled over the metadata in a group photo that might become important for family history, adding title, caption, keywords, date. I found that the "Save for Web" dialog strips some or all of the metadata, and other programs might or might not read or preserve the metadata.
A number of people who receive my photos cannot readily use the metadata:
--Naive users (gram and gramps)
--Busy and distracted users (the niece who is a mother of 3; the day-trader who's thinking about his puts and calls)
--People with poor support (a friend who has some sort of Photoshop Starter edition at work that does not recognize keywords; and she can't justify even Photoshop Elements)
Even among all these folks, almost no one is using an operating system that requires short names.
So, I put an abundance of information into my file names. Photoshop Elements allows that ON IMPORT, but not after the fact IN THE ORGANIZER.
I just hope that this inconsistency is fixed in PSE6. I get tired of explaining this over and over again to folks.
-- Bob
P.S. I love Photoshop Elements, but I'm looking into moving my picture store to my MacBook Pro, and using Bridge (already installed) and GraphicConvert to manage my photos. -
Please advise how to custom batch rename files with Aperture 3 in the following format: IMG_0023.cr2 to Smith_120816_0023.cr2? I cannot find a way to structure the date in Aperture as such (YYMMDD), as well as extract only the camera file (0023, for example). Adobe Bridge CS5 can do this, but NONE of the Adobe software is retina optimized, and is terrible to look at.
In Aperture you are limited to renaming files by the entries in the File Naming preset window.
At what point are you looking to rename, import or export? It might be possible to do what you are looking to do external to Aperture either via a script or other software.

Batch rename files on the server?
Can someone explain how to batch rename files on the server ?
I have 1000 rows each containing these fields
id (unique key)
productCode
filename1
filename2
For every row I need to rename the following fields:
Rename [filename1] to [productCode]_[id]_1
Rename [filename2] to [productCode]_[id]_2
also I need to rename the actual file on the server using the above scheme
Can someone show me the way ? I'm a little rusty with ColdFusionSo far I've got everything working apart from CFFILE which works only if it finds a corresponding jpeg file on the server. In other words it works perfectly until row 20 of the database because the filename contained in the field doesn't have a matching jpeg file on the server, so CFFILE fails like this...
Attribute validation error for tag CFFILE.
The value of the attribute source, which is currently C:\images\DSCN1293.JPG, is invalid.
The error occurred in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\link\htdocs\old_apps\psp\updater.cfm: line 63
61 : action = "rename"
62 : source = #my_source1#
63 : destination = #my_destination1#>
is there a way to carry on looping through the remaining rows and ignore the above fail ? -
Greetings,
Is there a way to "Batch Rename" a group of files?
For example, I might want to rename dog.gif, cat.gif,
rat.gif, etc. to animal01.gif, animal02.gif, animal03.gif, etc.
Thanks,

There is no way of batch renaming files and preserving links
and references.
However, you can rename one file at a time in the Files
panel, and
Dreamweaver will automatically update the links throughout
the site.

I have files that have been on my computer for over a year and I have used them several times and all of a sudden they wont open. I received an error message saying they are improperly downloaded or came as an email attachement which is not the case. Please advise
They seem to be word files - they will open if I choose "open with" microsoft word, but if I double click they don't open they are appearing as PDF on my screen. I even opened one and then tried to "save as" making sure I chose .doc and they still appear as PDF
I just created a new document response.doc in word and when I saved to my desktop it appears as a PDF file and I absolutely did not create a PDF or save as PDF it was a simple word
doc.
The message says "Adobe reader could not open response.doc because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example attached in an email and not properly decoded)
The reader version is I believe the most current, I always update when prompted. OS is Windows 8 -
I have m4v files that have subtitles and sound options they play fine on my computer in itunes and but when i watch them on my apple tv there is video but no sound ... why ? all my other videos are fine and they in mp4 format.
Mov is a container format, you'd need to look at the codec used by the movie file inside the container to know whether it will work with the Apple TV or not.

Batch rename files preserving the original file name in metadata
How can I batch rename files while preserving the original file name in metadata? (Don't want the old file name as part of the new file name)

Import does not recognize old image files that have no extension
Just discovered that the import facility does not see (or accept) old Mac image files that have no extension -- even if these files have a Mac "kind" that is an image such as "Adobe Photoshop file".
You can manually add an extension to the file (and respond to an "are you sure?" dialog). Then the file will be seen and accepted.
This is extremely dangerous (and painful to manually correct) since you think you are seeing all images in the import box, but you are not.
In fact, I deleted huge image directories after having satisfactorally (I thought) imported them into Aperture many months ago. Most of the old extension-less files had been updated and did have extensions in later versions. However, I missed one important image and looked everywhere for it.
By a miracle I had a backup of my image directories on a Power Book that I am retiring and finally noticed that the missing image was there just before deleting that directory too! I then figured out why this image (and many others) had not been imported. So, now I am going through manually and adding extensions.
Does anyone know a better way -- to get Aperture to recognize extension-less images? If not, this needs to fixed in the next version as it is a disaster waiting to happen.

Dual 2.7Ghz G5 ATI Radeon X800 XT 2.5 GB ram Mac OS X (10.4.6)Well there's an idea...probably would need to go into Bridge <g> to do that most efficiently .. or Automator.
It turns out that I already had added extension to most (but not all) images in my main image directory and so they got into Aperture alright. I just have to go through all the images in the backup I just found (where many did not get extensions) to find the ones that Aperture missed. So far, there have been just a couple more...
The real problem is that Aperture should not be missing these, even if they are archaic. At the very least, Aperture's import should give a warning that there are files in a folder that it is not going to import AND is not even showing. Otherwise this is a serious gotcha!

Is there any easier way to edit imovie files that have been exported as mov file then added to FCE 4?? As every move I make has to be rendered and takes forever??? Also my recording is going out of focus without me touching the camera, why has this happened any idea what causes this??
iMovie '08, Mac OS X (10.5.8), FCE 4My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone.

Why can't the finder in Mountain Lion 10.8.2 find files that have successfully downloaded, or that other programs can find?
This happens with maybe 1 out of 5 files. These are files that have either an ."aa" extention, or or are libraries that icloud can see, but finder can't.Files beginning with a period are invisible and library files are system files.

Get Spotlight to search system files (and more)
Enter the search term in the Finder window's search field.
Click the [+] button in the search bar to add a search option.
In the first drop down menu choose Other.

Now back in the Finder choose Include from the second drop down menu.
