Batch renaming lots of files without zeroes (0065) and without 1(2), 2(2)

Hi there,
When renaming say 100 images, you can select three digits, and create something like:
Image _001
Image _002
Image _003
Image _004
Image _005
Image _067
Image _068
Image _069
and so forth.
But if you select one digit it comes out like:
Image _1
Image _2
Image _3
Image _4
Image _5
Image _6
Image _7
Image _8
Image _9
Image _1(1)
Image _2(1)
Image _3(1)
Image _4(1)
Image _5(1)
Image _6(1)
Image _7(1)
Image _8(1)
Image _9(1)
Image _1(2)
Image _2(2)
Image _3(2)
Image _4(2)
Can bridge rename from say 1 to 100 without the zeros, yet still numbering consecutively without (#)?
I'm looking for:
Image _1
Image _2
Image _3
Image _4
Image _5
Image _6
Image _7
Image _8
Image _9
Image _10
Image _11
Image _12
Image _97
Image _98
Image _99
Image _100
Image _101
Seems pretty simple.

Hi,
I have a preset that does what you are looking for..
In Batch rename, I use a string subsitution with a regular expression "_0|_00" - which means "find _0 OR _00"
New Filenames
String Substitution - Original Filename - Find _0|_00 - Replace with _ 
(make sure 'Use Regular Expression' is checked)
See screenshots below...
Regards..

  • Batch rename of avi files

    I am looking for the solution to batch rename multiple avi files simply.
    In iphoto, I just select a bunch of image files and using the ctrl+Shift+CMD keyboard shortcut, I input the name something like 'boat_trip_kids' I get the files renamed instantly wiith or without the suffix of a number.
    Thing is,  how to do for vdo files ?
    I read a totorial and then tried using automator to do this but I have to input the name_of_the_file in the script construction. That's ok for hundreds of files but I will have many names to use for naming of small groups of files and this won't be practical.
    Is there some way I can achieve this in automator ?
    Perhaps someone with expertise with automator can talk me through the way?
    Thx,

    Check out A Better Finder Rename. I don't know if this will do what you want but I thought I'd suggest it anyhow.

  • How to batch rename iPhoto photo-files?

    Hi there,
    I do have some 15.000 photos in my library and many of them do have the same names (digital camera or digital disc transfer).
    So when I just want to copy some photos to another folder or whatever, i run into some problems because many photos carry the same name, they cant be saved into one folder.
    Do i have a chance of batch renamining the FILENAMES of my iPhoto library without damaging anything?
    Alexander

    You can select the files you want to rename, right click and choose "Batch Change". Select the title, select Text, and then type in a name... click on the checkbox to append a sequence number to the photo.
    OR if you want to go through and manually select photos and rename them, just edit their title.
    NOW for the tricky part. This renames the image in the iPhoto library, but as you mentioned, the filenames are not being changed. Select the photos you just renamed, and export them (from the file menu). You then can direct iPhoto to export them using the TITLE rather than the existing original file name. Look in the folder, and you will see that you have new files created with the title as the filename instead.
    This can be confusing, but just remember iPhoto IS a database, not a file browser (like Finder).

  • Batch rename of selected files undoes all my groups

    I use groups extensively in Bridge CS3. Lately, when I batch rename files within a group, Bridge completely undones all the groups in the folder (2.5GB, total). Why is that happening?
    Thanks

    What are you calling "groups"?  Do you have all 2.5 gig of pictures in one folder?  If so, make each group its own folder.  Too many shots in one folder will cause slow rebuilding of thumbnails for the screen, and it can lead to crashes if you change views before build is complete.  Many try to limit to 200-800 per folder depending on size of images.
    The order of the picutures on the screen has to do with how you have the sort set up in the filter panel.  If you change the name it could reorder the display.

  • Batch Rename Part of File Names

    Bridge CS3 and Windows XP Home. Have a set of files having names like: ijc-552346-c01_lay, ijc-552552-c01, ijc-552345-c552, ijc-552657. Wish to change the ijc-552 portion to ijc-559; for example, ijc-552346-c01 to ijc-559346-c01, ijc-552552-c01 to ijc-559552-c01, ijc-552345-c552 to ijc559345-c552 and so on. Need help on proper parameter set-up to do a batch file rename. Have hundreds of files to change.

    Thanks Curt and Olaf for the suggestions.
    Since I am not script literate decided to check for utilities. Just downloaded v8 of "Flexible Renamer" which is free, seems to offer plenty of function and has some good reviews. Will give it a try!

  • Batch renaming of m2t files from compact flash card

    I just upgraded from FCE to FCP. I wonder if there is a way to rename m2t files captured from a CF card, either in the log&capture window or directly after that, in the browser? Now I have different cards with the same file name beginning (e.g. 00_) and that makes it impossible to sort them logically in a bin, even when I chose recording time and date as a criterium.

    Update, I hooked up an external Powered USB port and plugged my card reader into it. When I run it this way, it works fine. It seams that I am having a power problem with my USb port when hooking up the non-powered device to the ports. What would cause my ports not to power my non-powered devices....software....hardware...? Profiler shows USB ports as 500 power.

  • Can I rename all my files without a nervous breakdown?

    Most of the files on the Web site I am redoing, have names that use Caps. Example:
    ArticleAgencyIn.html
    ServicesExec2.html
    There are about 40 such pages. Can I rename them, for example this way?
    articleagencyin.html
    servicesexec,html
    I suspect I can rename them any way I want and nothing bad will happen. Links will be renamed as well. Anything I need
    to know,
    to do,
    to be warned about?
    As always, thank you.

    Thanks, did not know that. But some of those files are in the Site Trash. Not sure how to delete the links. Maybe I have to delete those files by taking them from Site Trash into the Finder Trash. What do you suggest?
    If you have links in you site pointing to files in the trash, you will need to relink those to files in the site. File in the trash will not be oploade when you upload you site to the server...
    What might have happen is that you at some time may have deleted or moved those file to the trash wile they still is in use.
    Ther are severel fixe you can do ...
    First... are you haveing the files in the trash in another version/copi in the site folde ?? ...
    if so you can use the lasso tool to relink those link to the version of the files in the site...
    ore you can move them back into the site by simply draging them frome the trash to the site window
    You can simply empty the trash and there after look at the site to see wher and what files are missing and redo them (You can make a bakeup of the trash by taking a kopy of the "site trash" folde its in the site.data folder)
    When looking at files in the site window you can see a litle black dot in the "used" colum  ... that dot indicates if the image and file is link to (In use) by other some file (You may have to expand the window or scroll right to se the "used" colum) , this can be a great help when trying to find out if a image/file are in use
    Be aware that some file/image may not show up as used if those used by a script or for some reson is not link to direktly by a url. GL tels you with the dot that ther somewear in the site is a url to that file

  • Can't Use Batch Rename "Rename In Same Folder" for some photos

    Have a strange problem: when using "Batch Rename…" under the "Tools" menu, "Rename In Same Folder" is unusable for some photos taken with some cameras, not for others. For one example, I shift-selected a range of photos taken at a recent vacation, some with my iPhone, some with my girlfriend's Canon PowerShot SD450. Bridge renamed the iPhone photos, but not Canon photos. For another example, if I select a single photo taken by her cell phone or Canon camera, "Rename In Same Folder" is grayed-out; if I select a single photo taken my by iPhone, not so. Does anyone understand this behavior, and is there a solution?

    Bridge Support Center in the help menu leads to a 404 error page.
    Sadly enough this is also on my system (Mac OSX 10.6.8) It should not be showing 404 but it is there...
    What Bridge help files and links, forums, communities, google searches do not do is tell you how to fix what happens with the problem
    In general restarting Bridge holding down option key (in your case alt key) to choose reset preferences solves most problems.
    Here is a page from Adobe Support about Troubleshooting (although this states you should combine option/alt with cmd/ctrl but that is not needed)
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/317/317912.html
    I want to use Bridge batch rename to change jpegs into Mac PC compatible jpegs.
    Although I have the option for compatibility with Unix and Windows checked in my customized presets I'm not really aware of the need for that. If you have a .JPG or .jpg extension as the extension a Mac reeds and opens the file without problems. I am aware that as a Mac user I had the need to take care of Windows files in the past. Before OSX a Mac did not need an extension to recognize and open a file. Since OSX is Unix based the need to use an extension is there and also you should only use one dot (.) in the filename and that is before the extension at the end of the filename. Using spaces, commas etc is possible but not prefered. In basic, keep it simple (and short) and the file will open on all systems without problems.
    When you select a preset, the rename and preview buttons grey out. So I start all over...clear cache, check file permissions, restart/shutdown, etc
    That should not happen, presets and batch rename should be always available, even if you have only one file selected. You should start with the refreshing of the preferences. Deleting caches and checking file permissions are not needed every time for clearing prefs (although it is wise to maintain your system on a regular basis, but that is good for the use of all apps).
    On a Mac the user defined Batch Rename settings are saved in the user library / application support / Adobe/ Bridge CS5 / Batch rename setting. (not a single clue how that translate to windows but I have no reason to believe that such a file should not be present on your system.)
    Enter the term "batch rename" in the windows Bridge forum search and I got....ZERO results.
    Well, again a disappointment, there will be many result available in both Windows and Mac forum but it sure is not easy to find them
    The forum search option is next to useless. I believe you should try to switch to the main forum page or something, I once had a result but after so many tries I forgot how I managed this (combined with getting angrier every try...)
    I could really use some help because there is no way I can convert the number of files I have to make them compatible in MACs
    As stated before, if the are .jpg they are already compatible
    it used to be in CS 3 and 4 but since I "upgraded" to Production Premium suite 5.5 none of the version work.
    If you keep having problems you might consider the clean tool option to clear PSCS 3 and 4. Check also this KB article:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html
    It should be possible to use all CS versions on your system but you can have only one version of Bridge active at the time. Upgrading from a single CS to a Suite should also be possible without problems but sadly enough everything that should be possible without problems is often only happening in the ideal world...

  • 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.?

  • Is it possible to decrypt EFS files without backup certificate- windows xp,vista,win-7,win8

    hi,
    i have windows xp and and i did the  format c:\  without take any EFS certificate backup ,is it possible to decrypt efs files without backup certificate , i have lot off files like Microsoft office and pdf , how can i recover the file and decrypt
    Any software to decrypt the files , mostly word and excel files , any solution please let me know as soon ad possible.
    Thx
    PV

    PV
    If you formatted the entire "C" drive (Format C:\) then you don't need to decrypt them but rather recover them.  Recovery is somewhat doubtful but one application you can try is called recuva. 
    You will not recover 100% of the files and may not recover any

  • 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

  • Batch renaming setting xmp to read-only

    Doing some batch renaming of audio files and it seems like randomly xmps are being set to read-only, losing the previous filename preservation in the process.
    Purging the cache for the folder seems to reset the xmp back from read-only, but i dont know
    why it is happening.

  • 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.
