Batch Rename Query

Excuse me if I'm missing the obvious.
I've created a collection of 30 virtual files in a new collection based on a selection of the original .cr2 files. I want to rename the 30 files.
If I select an individual image and rename the file it gets renamed ok, but if I try to batch rename all of them (Custom text - sequence), LR goes thru the motions, shows it's updating them, but when finished the filenames aren't changed. Any ideas as to why the batch rename doesn't rename them?
LR 1.1 on WinXP.

To see only what is actually in a Folder (image wise) uncheck Menu/Library/Include Photos from Subitems, then this will be less confusing. A pluss is you can also User Sort in any Folder, not just a bottom one.

Batch rename of queries ?

We are starting our upgrade of HCM 8.9 to HCM 9.0. Our end users have written over 10,000 queries with very little naming convention - usually just starting with their initials. Our University is 'Sonoma' so we want end-users to rename the ones they want to keep to start the first 4 chars with 'SON_' and make them public. This way as the DBA my job is easier to put them into a project and move them to 9.0. end-users complain that it's 'too much work', because some of them have written hundreds of queries.
Is there a way to batch rename them using a SQL script - the problem I see is that there are many query tables they exist in, eg, PSQRYDEFN, PSQRYFIELD, PSQRYRECORD, and many views also so I am worried that trying to rename them by adding 'SON_' to the beginning would miss some tables and screw things up.
I would be interested to hear other folks query strategies during upgrades.
Thanks,

I guess my first response would be, Do you really want 10,000 public queries? In our environment only the development team and those functional users that are associated with the development team have the ability to create public queries. Once a query is made public, it's the development team's responsibility to support it. No doubt you've got at least a couple of users that have created some poorly written queries. You probably don't want to support those.
Secondly, upgrades are a time for clean up. At the very least I think I would go ahead and ask them to review their own queries. If they find that they have a query that is useful to other users, offer to make that public for them and have the team support it. I would also have them consider deleting queries that they no longer use. In reality, we didn't care about the naming conventions for private queries. The whole idea of the convention is to be able to separate our queries from the delivered ones. With private queries it's pretty easy to make that distinction.
Third, I would categorize the queries more than just prefixing them with your organization. We are on an HRMS version so our queries are prefixed by HR, PR, TL, BA, etc. A little more categorization to the queries should be helpful so you don't have to scan 10,000 queries for the one you are looking for. Of course I would only do this for the public queries.
In our upgrade from 8.3 to 9.0 I ran each of our public queries for efficiency and validity. It was over 1,000 queries and took several weeks to get through them all. After that we went back to some of our power users and offered to assist them with queries that would no longer work (i.e. tables that no longer existed in the system).
One final thought. Have the users make the changes in your existing production database now. During our upgrade some effort was made to rename production queries. In one of our final copies of production we had these new queries come in that we had to redo simply because the name had changed.

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.?

Adobe Bridge CC: Batch Rename using any metadata field

How can I add certain Metadata fields to the pull down menu in the batch rename function?
I need to do a batch rename of files, but using metadata fields that are not available as an option on the pull down menu.
Hoping to use any or all of these:
Audio : Artist, Album, Genre
IPTC Core : Description, Keywords, etc..

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.

How can I Batch Rename Files in Aperture?

Yesterday I imported some new photos and accidentally used the settings from my last import which named my images in a way that needs to be changed. I have already rated and edited many of the images so I don't want to reimport them from my memory cards.
Is there a way to batch rename the images - preferably to the original file name from the camera? If not a custom name would be fine.

Batch Renaming with Counter

I am trying to do batch renaming with a counter. Unfortunately every time I try to use a counter, it stays the same number.
For example/
I have two clips that I want to rename Ceremony 1 and Ceremony 2. When I do the batch renaming, the clips change to Ceremony 1 and Ceremony 2. The counter doesn't work.
I could do keyword collections or rename them individually, but I have too many clips.
I hope someone could help me.

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 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 Sequence Letter Doesn't Start with A

I'm using Adobe Bridge CS3 to rename files.
Several of the files require me to use the SEQUENCE LETTER function under BATCH RENAME.
However, the names of the files contain a sequence of letters that start in the MIDDLE of the ALPHABET (i.e. C, D, E, F, G, etc...)
I can't find an option to let me start lettering form a letter other than A.
Help!
Thanks,

All 3 screens are blue and the mouse and key board are not responsive.

Is the card Bad or something else?

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…

For example: _0000_00 Loadscreen _0001_01 Default _0002_02 Productdetail and so forth
The Part I want to delete is _0000_ ist this possible in Adobe Bridge? Or with any other programms?
The best way would be able to select the first 6 cyphers? Is this Possible?
Thanks for your help

Haha Lol just asked a friend if he knows how to and he told me the same thank you!!! Really awesome tool!!

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)
(Adobe CS Bridge can do this with some success, but I don't want to be dependant on this software. Results are inconsistent.)

With a simple terminal script. More details needed, though.

Batch rename, name changes after frame 99

Hi, I put a folder into bridge to do a batch rename and called the text MILAN/SYRIA and gave for first number 00.
After frame 99 the name changed to a weird Adobe Bridge Batch Rename Temp 10037
Which you can see better in the RAW windows, the 99 and the following one.
Photoshop doesn't like to open a name like that, can't blame her.
of course I strongly suppose that I should have given 3 digits in Batch rename, and l am looking for your confirmation, and while I am here
why was my card full at 0485 pictures when a folder I think takes as many as 9999, how do you finish a folder if your card is full?
i suppose you change card and you keep going with the same folder? Sorry about the camera question, couldn't keep it, thanks dona

no,no, i started with 00 two digits only, batch rename changed to 623 after i put the folder back in just in order to take the screenshot, i dont know why but that always happens if i put the folder back in after usage, but i do know for life now that if I am going to take over 100 shots, which is most of the time, i should start with 001 or 000.
See, this is the first number that was given to the first file, 01,WHICH actually became 00, i don't have it here.
So it rest to know where is "Preserve file name " in current metadata, and would that make it possible to revert to the original CR2 number?
Why not to change name straight from the new name? thanks

Batch rename is not working

I attempted to batch rename files in Adobe Bridge CC. Nothing happens. I force quit as Bridge will not quit on command (which is strange as Photoshop will). When I reopen Bridge the files have been renamed "AdobeBatchRenameTemp(than the file name I asked it to write)".
Any ideas what is wrong with Bridge? Thanks

Hi
Are you using Mac Or windows please mentioned some of the system specification as well as it will be helpful
if you are using mac . please go to a location ~/library/cache/adobe "there will a folder by the name of Bridge CC please move it to desktop and then restart the bridge. this should take care of the cache issue.
if you are using windows , please go this location C:\Users\user name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Bridge CC and move the cache folder to the desktop
and restart the Adobe Bridge CC

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.
