Batch rename program

Hi all,
l would like to ask that , can l get the lastModified() value and convert it
to string , and put this value to variable.
As the lastModified() date format default is (00:00:00 GMT, January 1, 1970 ) but l want to change it to 010170.
How can l do??
Thanks a lot!
Best regards.

Code sample:
        File file = new File("someFile.txt"); // Or any other file.
        Date fileDate = new Date(file.lastModified());
        SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("ddMMyy"); // This is the pattern used to format the date.
        String fileDateStr = sdf.format(fileDate);
        System.out.println("Last modification date for '" + file.getPath() + "' file is: " + fileDateStr);This will print at the console:
Last modification date for 'someFile.txt' file is: 041203

  • 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.

  • Batch rename in bridge

    i am having trouble with batch renaming. it was working fine previously and not sure what happened to cause it not to work. i am using a mac osx 10.6.3/ CS4.
    basically when i click on batch rename, it won't let me select "rename in same folder". it also will not highlight MAC OS in the compatibility line. i have restarted the program, computer, and cleared the cache. (same problem when i try to rename in a different folder)  any ideas?

    I am not familar with the workings of a Mac computer.  You would get a better response to post in the Mac Bridge forum.
    I suspect you need to reset the preferences which in a PC is press and hold the Ctrl key and click on start icon for Bridge.  You will get a reset window with 3 options.

  • Batch rename with minimum numeber of digits in sequence number

    I'm pretty sure I remember this working how I wanted in previous versions of Bridge, but at least since cs4, it has not worked as I would like. I've tried searching for an answer or a setting that I'm missing, but have come back empty-handed.
    Here's my situation. Let's say I'm renaming 18 files. Each file has a sequence number. I want the sequence numeber for the first 9 to be one digit, and for the second nine to be 2 digits.
    i.e. image_1.jpg, image_2.jgp, image_3.jpg...image_10.jpg, image_11.jpg...
    The best way I've found that I can do this is to select all 18 images, and assign a 2-digit sequence number. Then, once that is complete, select the first 9 and repeat, but with a 1 digit number.
    In the past, I could select all 18 images, and choose a 1 digit number, and after 9, it would switch to 10, instead of going back to zero. Is there still a way to do that? I know it's only one extra step, but that one extra step is actually kind of two, because each time I have to reset tho starting number back to 1 or 10, and switch the setting from 2-digits to 1-digit and back again. And I usually have to rename multiple groups of files at once, so it does add up. Granted, much better than renaming one at a time, but not as convenient as I feel it could be, and as it once was.
    Am I missing something?
    Thanks,

    While I certainly can understand the way in which computers work, I also understand that in a program as complex as any of the components in Adobe's Creative Suite, there is most certainly a way to override the computer's numerical logic so that it can remove the initial "0" from a 2-digit number. Granted, that may not be possible in the current version of Bridge, theoretically it is "Possible". And I'm quite sure it functioned that way in previous versions, although I really don't know which version I was using when it worked that way. Maybe cs2?
    As a developer, the whole reason for this question is to avoid having to create extra code in my applications to add an unnecessary "0" to digits 0-9 in any filenames of any files I want to load. Although it looks as though adobe changed the default behavior of the batch rename function, and removed (or in some peoples' minds improved) some functionality without an option to get it back.
    Unfortunately for me anyways...
    Thanks for the help,

  • Batch Rename and Restructure Folders and Pictures within

    Hello, I have been messing around with Automator trying to get Automator to batch rename my pictures. It seems that Automator is a little limited in renaming the way I would like to.
    I would like to rename all of my pictures to have a folder structure (I don't believe Automator can do this part for me) of:
    "Pictures/Nikon Transfer 2/Date Taken yyyy - dd- mm/DSC_xxxx"
    Currently, after trying one of the programs out, I have altered the filename over several of them to a mess of something like "2012-01-24-DSC_0295.JPG.JPG" where the folder structure  I was trying to achieve was put into the filename and the extension was added into the filename.
    I have tried several programs (freeware and open source) to achieve this to no avail. I would like to stay away from trail software and paid software.  If anyone knows of any Automator tricks or other free, non-trial programs that can do such a thing please let me know! It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much for any feedback! PSkilton

    There are several renamers on the appstore. I use one that is called "A Better Finder Rename", which for me is very good: you find the download button here:

    It is not free but still cheap.

  • Batch rename in Bridge: can you truncate filenames?

    I know there are free-standing programs to do this, but:
    My images come out of the DSLR as DSC_001.NEF and so forth.
    Is it possible with Batch Rename to just strip off the DSC so that DSC_001.NEF becomes just 001.NEF??

    I've used A better Finder renamer. It's a good program. But also, i'm a fan of using the tools already at my disposal -- ie. what's included in the OS.
    For simple rename actions I might use Automator or the "trim file names" apple script that apple includes a part of the sample scipts. I've modified it to my needs.
    It all comes down to what works best for your individual situations.
    With that said. I'd still like to see Adobe beef up the batch rename fucntion in Bridge. Call me spoiled, but i don't want to have to leave Bridge just to rename my files.

  • Batch Rename Multiple files with different names

    Hi,
    Is there any way to batch rename multiple files with individual names? I.e
    IMG_123 changed to  RSP45AS
    IMG_124 changed to MOL157A
    IMG_125 changed to AGKH135
    IMG_126 changed to MNOLH13
    IMG_127 changed to ASFBLUG
    Etc.
    Are they any programs or scripts or plug ins that would do that job?
    Thanks

    HI there Onemorewave,
    It looks like there is a batch remname feature included in OS X 10.10 Yosimte if you are planing on updating.

  • Batch rename song titles and/or change case

    Importing cd's makes a mess of my song title format.
    The most common problem is a mix of cases: Proper Case (Capital for each new word) is the most common, but sometimes it's all lower case or all upper case. Especially the last one requires a lot of typing, title by title. Using an external renaming program does not affect the titles within iTunes. Is there a way to do that?
    Similar problem often happens to classical music. Some cd's mention the composer and/or performer in the title field, followed by the 'song' (track name). I want to delete the composer/performer or transfer them to the appropriate fields. Can I do that in one 'batch rename' action within iTunes?
    Thanks,

  • Help: Batch Renaming in Predefined Order

    I couldn't find the answer on here, hopefully someone can redirect me or help me out.
    There's a feature In Photostation, another metadata editing software, that I assume should be in Bridge although I can't figure out how to do it. I frequently get a folder of up to 20 photos, which are named based on when the photographer shot them during the photo shoot. I have to rename them to our standard naming convention, but reorder them so they are listed in the order they show up in a layout. In Photostation, I can look at the folder, select them one at a time while holding the shift key, and then when I batch rename, the program renames the images in the order I had selected. them So the 5th photo now becomes 1, the last one 2, the third one 3 etc etc.
    Is there any way to do this in Bridge? It looks like it just does a straight one to one rename, the first of the original file names becomes the first in the new file names the second the second etc etc.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    To my knowledge selecting with shift does not rename them in that order. You have however different options for sorting using the sort filter and you can also place them in a manual order (not that nice working as only click in the order as you wish). When having the files in the correct order using batch rename should rename the files in the shown order either descending or ascending according to the selected option.

  • Iphoto batch rename

    Having a lot of photo's in iPhoto, who does not, all with a number, and I want to rename all the photos as numbers do not mean anything.
    i.e. From P1234.jpg, P1235.jpg to sydney1.jpg, sydney2.jpg etc
    Is there a way, or a program that will batch rename.
    Sure there must be out there, I just have not found one.
    I am running OS X 10.10.2
    Thanks for any help.

    Select all photos, whose titles you want to start with "Sidney",
    Go to the "Photos" menu in iPhoto and use the command "Batch Change".
    Set it to "Set Title to Text"  and click "Append a number to each photo".
    Enter "Sidney" into the text field.
    Then click o.k.
    All selected photos will be renamed to Sidney with a number appended.
    When you export photos from iPhoto, you can use the title as the filename, so the files you export will have this title as a name.

  • Batch rename / renumber images in folder..problem :(

    I am trying to rename/renumber a folder of 100 pictures, so they are all in 3 digits, but remain in the order & have the same number associated with the same file.  Right now the folder is numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, etc..  I attempted to do the batch rename through Photoshop to make the folder 001, 002, 003.etc, BUT when I did this, the first picture 1 turned into 001..which is great...but the old 2 turns into 002, but is actually what 10 used to be. 
    19 turns into 011 instead of 019
    40 turns into 035 instead of 040
    Why is Photoshop changing the original number to a 3 digit, but changing the number it should have been.  I just want it to be 001, 002, 003, 004, 005, 006, 007, 008, 009, 010, 011, 012... 
    Seems so simple..but I'm missing something!
    I would greatly appreciate any help! 

    You seem to be asking "why?" rather than seeking a better alternative...
    Isn't it clear that the Adobe software is accessing the files purely alphabetically, rather than numerically?
    Take this sequence of text lines and alphabetically sort it with any program:
    1
    2
    3
    4
    5
    6
    7
    8
    9
    10
    11
    12
    13
    14
    15
    16
    17
    18
    19
    20
    You'll get this:
    1
    10
    11
    12
    13
    14
    15
    16
    17
    18
    19
    2
    20
    3
    4
    5
    6
    7
    8
    9
    Windows Explorer, on the other hand, has a more sophisticated sorting algorithm that marries alphabetic and numeric sorting of filenames, because Microsoft realized that people like you often want to see things in numeric sequence - so you will see the files on disk appearing in the order you expect, even though it's not alphabetic.
    I believe you've already been given the answer:  Use an application other than the ancient Adobe software to do the file renaming.  Several alternatives have already been named.

  • Rename/Batch Rename files

    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 . . .
    Wendell

    I 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.

  • Can't batch rename or delete

    When working in Bridge, in certain folders, I can't seem to delete files or batch rename files. Is there a setting I am missing that could cause this?

    That would most likely simply boil down to generic operating system level permissions issues or whatever, but without knowing anything about your computer, nobody can advise specifically. Could also be some other program/ tool having a hold over your files. We really can't know. For the permissions issues you might start by reading this:

  • Batch renaming Bookmarks

    I currently have Acrobat X Professional.  I have a 3000+ page document with several hundred bookmarks.  I want to split the document, but unfortunately the bookmarks are not unique and contain "/", which prohibit the split.  Is there a java script or program that will batch rename the bookmarks replacing "/" with dashes and adding a unique identifier to the end of a bookmark name (like 001, 002, etc)?

    I figured it out. As you saw above, I wasn't having a problem batch renaming the title of the clips. I was having a problem with the counter. I learned in a previous posting that when you change the name of a subclip of a clip, it changes the name of both the original clip (clip in event browser, not hard drive) and the other subclips associated with it. It doesn't matter how you rename the clip (changing the name in the Name box of the Inspector, change it by clicking the name of the clip once in the event browser and typing it in, or using custom naming (click on the gear button in Inspector to find it), the name will always change correctly. For some reason (I guess a FCPX thing lol), you can't use the counter in custom naming correctly unless you change the original name through custom renaming. If you change the original name of a clip the other two ways, then try to change the new name of the clip using custom renaming with the counter, the counter will always stay the same number.

  • Batch Rename HELP!

    So I have used Bacth Rename a hundred times! But this morning, I went to rename an entire set of photos (about 70 of them). Somehow, instead of just renaming the photos, it altered the file type- so I guess they aren't jpegs anymore! I can't open them in any program! Any suggestions on how to fix this?

    it altered the file type- so I guess they aren't jpegs anymore! I can't open them in any program! Any suggestions on how to fix this?
    If you have set to rename also the file type or extension they still are jpeg only the system will not recognize them as such. If you are sure they were jpeg files you only have to rename them again with batch rename.
    First check if there is no current extension or dot in the filename. If so choose the options in new filenames 'current filename' / 'name' / original case and second 'new extension' and in the field fill in: .jpg
    Then check if all is correct ant apply the new names. This should make it again OK.
