Batch renumber and rename by time of capture

I shoot weddings with two different cameras which have been synchronized for time (hms). Does Lightroom have the capability of sorting the files by the time of capture? Or can you advise me of any other way to get them in the correct order without spending hours sorting by hand?

LR can on import rename the images with the date and capture time.
If several pictures are taken during the same second, they will get numbered like -1, -2, -3 and so on.
I rename my images like this during import: 2007-08-03_16-26-32.DNG

How to get my images always order by file name, and not by time of captur, in all the folders in the library?

How to get my images always order by arquive name, and not by time of captur, in all the folders in the library?
Sorry for the poor english, but im portugues.
In the library we can change the order of classification of image by, time of capture, name of file etc... I'm wondering if its possible define to be always by the name of file.
It ´s possible?
And i have other question, in print label we have an option to auto rotate to feet in page to have the image using the maximum area in the page (auto rotate, zoom etc), its possible to change the orientation of the rotation to be always in the other direction?

The Muvos are USB Mass Storage devices and do not have the ability to display track information based upon ID3 tags.
The Zens all read and display track info based upon ID3 tag information that is either gathered from an online source or entered by the end-user.
If you want the track information displayed instead of the ID3 tag information, you could edit the ID3 tags and rename the title to whatever you have as the file name. Not sure why your file names would differ so much from the ID3 tag info though, almost all of my content has the same name for the filename as it does on the ID3 tag title.

Partition and rename existing Time machine drive?

I use a 1 TB external hard drive for Time Machine backups and as extra storage for miscellaneous files - a total of 130 gigs is used (100 gigs of Time Machine backups plus 30 gigs other files). I am using Mountain Lion 10.8.5. That external drive is named "Seagate Drive"... I want to partition that drive in two 500 gig volumes and rename the first 500 gig to "Time Machine" for backups, and rename the other volume to "Extra Storage".
I understand that the existing backups should remain intact on the first volume after I partition the drive, but when I rename that first volume to "Time Machine" will the Time Machine app continue backing up to it or will Time Machine become confused because of the name change and no longer auto backup to the drive, thus requiring me to re-start a completely new full backup? ...Also after I rename the Time Machine drive volume will the Time Machine app still recognize the older backups that were recorded when the external drive had its older name?
...will any of this cause me trouble?
Thanks
I don't want to create any headaches for myself.
Thanks!

You can always inherit the backup if you have problems.

File copying in Batch script and renaming

HI,
I am using the below batch script to copy the files from current folder to the specified location.
(@echo off
echo copying files to destination
copy *.eps* \\10.10.14.13\adman\in\displ )
I am facing 2 problems in the above script..
1. I am not able to select a particular file and run the script, for e.g if the folder got more (eps) files it copies all the files to the location.
2. I want to insert my user login name at the end of the each copied file.
My file name look like (F0#CGDBANG000947532#.eps
) copy to F0#CGDBANG000947532#username.eps

Batch jobs and deleting one time variants

Hi,
I have a need to generate a background job with up to
21 steps each step needing a different variant determined
at creation.
I have written an abap that will create the job, steps
and variants for the batch stream. This works fine.
My problem is trying to delete the variants I created
at the end of the batch stream. I have tried setting
up another step to delete the variant but that fails
as RS_DELETE_VARIANT gives an error if the variant
exists in a current batch job, which it does in this
case as the variants are used in previous steps.
Ideally I would like to create variants as SAP itself
does when you dynamically submit a job to batch.
How can I get around this problem elegantly ?
Allan

Dear Allan
Welcome to SDN.
One solution that i can propose is:
With the ABAP Program that submits the job, do the following:
Step 1: Open the job using FM: JOB_OPEN.
Step 2: Submit all programs using SUBMIT statements and values for parameter with reference to the job-id and job counter.( I guess if we use JOB_SUBMIT here we will be specifying the variant name which already exists).
Step 3: Close the job using FM: JOB_CLOSE.
Using the above procedure the variants created will be temporary and no need to delete.
Below is an example which can help you understand the same:
PERFORM JOB_OPEN USING SY-REPID CHANGING L_JOBCNT.
SUBMIT Y00_SD_F2_003 WITH P_BUKRS = P_BUKRS
                     WITH P_FILE1 = P_OFILE

Why is it so difficult to convert a Raw image to a jpeg in Photoshop Elements ?! I have version 12. Once i realized to change the tick box in Camera Raw to 8 bit instead of 16 bit and Flatten image ( sometimes can flatten image if the flatten option isn't greyed out) hey presto i thought i was up and running. However after saving the photograph as a jpeg and renaming it e, after the word edit. I switched off/on my computer only for all the images i had spent time working on to have disappeared. Feeling very upset as there is no Technical Help to telephone at adobe and i don't know what to do.

My 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. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

Why does Macbook Pro rename my Time Machine and other external hard drives?

Why does my Macbook Pro rename my Time Machine to "Time Machine I" and then back again periodically. Last night it was one name, this morning it is another. It also does it on other external hard drives - usually by adding a I after the name. It is frustrating for me because I store a large runtime folder on an external hard drive and end up losing a lot of time with my computer not being able to find files because of the renaming.
And even though it still looks like Time Machine under "Get info: - when I open a folder window or Disk Utility it has a new name, and there is no way to change it. I've seen other questions that mention Macs renaming themselves, so it seems like a similar issue. I did try deleting the preferences plist file, but that did not work.
Is this a glitch with this particular model or operating system?
Specs: Macbook Pro A1297 - 2009 model.
Snow Leopard 10.6.8
2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
8GB ram
Many thanks for any advice.

strange, my external HDs were added to the exception list automatically. maybe because they wouldn't fit on the time machine volume.
It seems to depend on when the drives were connected. When you first turn Time Machine on, it only excludes the TM drive itself, and any drives not formatted HFS+.
If you connect a drive later on, that drive will be excluded automatically.

Since updating iTunes and Mavericks, every time I import m4v files into iTunes it renames all the files to "Avidemux". what's gone wrong?

(By the way, would I need to use also the red and white phono cables also to get sound?)
Yes, S-video cables do not carry sound.
When you import 16:9 into DV Widescreen, make sure that you have UNchecked 'automatic letterboxing'.
In Preferences, is the project set to the correct standard?
29.95 fps = NTSC
25 fps = PAL.

Batch renumbering photos!

I was looking for an answer for a photographer friend but I think the Photinfo 1.0.3 or 4 would give him what he wishes, but for safety sake I'm going to paste the question for Mr Toad to check.
A photographer is wishing to replace a set of photos that he has constructed in a Final Cut Pro HD timeline - there are three sequences in a row that he has defined with alpha-numeric idents (set to music), seq one is A001 - A150, the second is B001 - B256 and the third, C001 - C328.
He wishes this to work as a template for future constructs, by simply deleting the photos from the Capture folder and replacing them with a new set, with identical numbering to the previous sets, that FCP reconnects to and after rendering the timeline, all pictures have been replaced with the correct new photos.
The experiment seems to work, although the timeline thumbnails are wrong, the photos are correct. The difficulty has been in finding a way to batch-renumber a collection of photos in iPhoto - so far the renumbering has been done in iView Media but this makes it messy since iPhoto imports the photos and iView Media simply flags them.
I better ask Jim Merkel if he minds me giving him the application.

Phillip:
It's going to be difficult with iPhoto. First, batch renaming the Titles in iPhoto only get you A - 1, A - 2. That's the only sequential naming you can get. If you put them in a folder titled "A" and export to the desktop using the Use Album Name option you get A - 01, A - 02, etc. Neither is what your friend wants.
To get what you want in folder on the desktop for future use in FC Pro, use the Use Album Name route and then uyse the freeware application, R-Name, on the files in that folder. That will give you A001.jpg, etc., the type of sequencing you want.
iPhoto just does not do well with renaming original files.
If you have the photos before importing into iPhoto you can use R-Name to rename then before importing. If the originals are not sequentially numbered (with some other naming) you will have to drag them into the R-Name window one at a time in the order you want them renumbered.
Bottom line is that you're going to have to export them out of iPhoto in order to rename them the way you want. If you have to do that, you can temporarily catalog them in iView and batch rename there. That would change the actual file names just like R-Name does.
Hope this has been of some help. Good luck.

Automator script search document for file name, and rename file to date

Hi all,
I'm having a hard time with Automator... and I can't figure out how it's done!
Searched the web for it a couple of times, spend hours with Automator already, but I guess my need is random!
The thing is:
I got a folder with 1066 files, all the files has random names.....
I got a document (now it's html, but can convert it to PDF or txt or so ever....) with the coressponding random file names in the html.... some words before that there is the date the photo was taken in this format: 08/25/11
Now I want somehow make automator search that folder each filename... match it in the document with the filename, and rename the files in the folder to the date the photo's were taken.... and that for all 1066 files.....
anybody a great idea? Some help? I'm a real newby at Automator scrips!
thanks

Have you considered A Better Finder Rename 9?
A Better Finder Rename 9: The Batch File Renamer for Mac OS X
Otherwise, what you propose seems to be rather like carving the Pieta using a plastic butter knife. But, if you want, here's one example of a rough algorithm to start ...
* translate the HTML to ASCII text in this format: filename (date)
* read one line at a time from the ASCII file
* for each line, search the folder for the file
* rename the file according to the (date)
BTW, you might avoid a strict renaming according to just the date.
Best luck with this project.

Import and rename photos via Automator and ExifTool

Hiya,
Just finished my work on a Automator workflow in order to import and rename photos from a portable hard disk.
I had the problem that my portable hard disk (with integrated card-reader) was not recognised by Image Capture or Aperture. Therefore I couldn't import my photos straight away into Aperture.
Another problem I had was that Aperture doesn't rename photos while importing. Whereas other Automator actions offer this feature, they all didn't fulfill my requirements - yeah, I can be very fussy
That's why I started initially to write a Perl script based on ExifTool in order to copy and rename photos to my liking. Once this was done and very much in use, I started to put it into an Automator action with a little AppleScript around it.
Eventually, I initiated the entire Automator workflow with the Check For Disk action.
More information and the files needed can be found on my website http://photography.stephanjaeger.eu/2007/03/improve-your-digital-photography-wor kflow.html.
The only drawback of this script is that only one camera is supported. At the moment, I work on a solution to support several cameras.
The Perl script can used by itself, if you feel comfortable in using the Terminal.
I hope you find the information and the Automator action helpful.
Any feedback appreciated.
Best regards,
Stephan Jaeger

Brian,
Thanks for giving it a try. Let me know how you get on!
If you have any problems, please don't hesitate to contact me.
By the way, you don't have to use an external hard disk. You could replace easily the first step in that workflow with an other action, such as defining a folder that should be monitored, or selecting manually a folder that contains photos.
I hope that I find some time over the week-end to make some changes to the script. I will set up as well a page on my web site with more details.
All the best,
Stephan

How do I get PSE10 to import and rename files in order?

When I place my CF card into the reader PSE opens and displays all the photos on the card the problem is they are out of order. I take volleyball photos and use the burst often The files are numbered properly by the camera but PSE seems to get them mixed up. When I import and renamer them PSE thakes them in the order they are shown and they are then renumbered out of order causind many shots to be out of order. I have never had this problem before. I have been using PSE 6 up thru 10 now and this is the first time I have had this happen. Last season I wasusing PSE9 and all my bursts sequences are in purfect order.
Am I missing something in the settings?

Hi,
The problem I have is with the PSE Organizer "Photo Downloader". When I
plug the CF card from my camera into the card reader on the computer the
"downloader" opens up and shows thumbnails of the files on the card. At
this point the files are out of order based on the file numbers applied
by the camera. I.e.: one sequence looks like this-
11,12,16,15,14,13,17,18; where 12 thru 16 were a burst. Another
sequence- 121,120,125,124,122,123; all one burst. As you can see they
are out of order. I tried leaving the card in the camera and the same
thing happens. If I view the photos in /on the camera they are in the
right order. What has been happening is that I rename and number the
files as I import them. When that happens the files get numbered in
sequence as to how they are seen in the "downloader"....this means in
the examples shown 16 would become 13; 15 becomes 14 ect. This ends up
mixing up any sequence of shots.
Once I have the RAW files imported I import them to Lightroom 4 to do
most of my processing. Here if I choose to arrange by time created I can
get them in the right order but because the files are rearranged into
the correct order and since I renamed them on importing the file numbers
are now out of order. After figuring out what the problem was I can now
import the files to lightroom without renaming > arrange by time or file
name> rename> and all seems to be OK. My question is I never had this
problem before and it was very nice to be able to rename the files at
import and be done with it.
I haven't had time to check into it but one thing I'm wondering is is
there a way to rename the files at import without changing the file
number? Is there a way to insert the date and text while keeping the
IMG_Number....i.e IMG001 becomes 2012 09 15_Volleyball_0001 keeping the
original file number and only inserting a date/name? This would solve
the whole problem as I could then arrange by file name and all would be
well.
Any ideas or help would be appreciated.

Batch to Batch Transfer and Tracking

Question,
Since Batch to batch material transfer is possible using SAP standard functionality.
On my floor, the raw material i am consuming is batch managed and causing accounts error and negative stock due to wrong batch no. posting at the time of Co11.
due to requirement of our customers, our plant must run with proper tracking of each batch, means finish goods to raw material (specific batch) relation should be there in system.
If I maintain back flush function for BOM components in such a way that I always consume raw material from one batch (xxx) from production S-LOG. what i will do, I will refill that particular batch -xxx by transfer material from batch zzz (by batch to batch transfer) when needed to back flush.
Back flush will happen always from one batch which will reduce accounts error and negative stock generation.
Question is, will i be able to track and can built relation of raw material batch zzz and product FG?
if yes how? if no then what could be the solution for this problem.
Mr.Daar

Hi,
I think you're scenario is going little bit complex by doing transfer postings batch to batch this is very complex you know each time you have to do suppose if you have huge raw materials it leads to complexity any have for this point I can say is
while transferring the batches from XXX to ZZZ you give reference production order number in the material slip or document header text so that you can track the batches to which production order you have transferred.
in MSEG table you can trace the consumption of raw materials based on the Production order
and with 309 movement type you can trace the batch transfers I thing you have to develop a report for this.

Ravi
