Bridge CS5 Renames Files in HTML Web Gallery

When creating an HTML Web Gallery (using ‘Lightroom’ template), Bridge CS5 renames the thumbs and large images to an arbitrary number.  The caption reads as the original file name, but the actual image has a new name.  This is problematic, as my clients will right-click selected images from my galleries to save and forward for approval, but the file name is not the same as the original.
As an example: VLNK0321.jpg is renamed as _4856316150.jpg.  (In Preferences/Output, the "Convert multi-byte file names to Full ASCII" is unchecked.)
Is there any way to fix this little (for me--BIG) problem?

Solved!
This works for Windows.  I imagine the Mac solution is similar. Props to William Zauscher for helping find an answer.
I take no responsibliity for any damage caused to your computer, Photoshop or Bridge...
In Windows, browse to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Bridge CS5 Extensions\Adobe  Output Module\mediagallery\resources\scripts
In the file named "galleryCreator.jsxinc" replace the lines:
AOM.AmgGalleryCreator.createUniqueFileName = function(filePath, jpgFile,  createMode)
    var alteredName;
    while (true)
         alteredName = "_";
        for (var i=0; i<10; i++)
             alteredName += Math.floor(Math.random() * 10);
         alteredName += ".jpg";
        var f = new File(filePath +  alteredName);
        if (!f.exists)
            break;
     return alteredName;
...with the following:
AOM.AmgGalleryCreator.createUniqueFileName = function(filePath, jpgFile, createMode)
                var alteredName;
                while (true)
                                alteredName = "_";
                                alteredName += jpgFile += ".jpg";
                                var f = new File(filePath + alteredName);
                                if (!f.exists)
                                                break;
                return alteredName;
You can cut and paste the above.  Just save a version of the original file somewhere in case of screwups...
Cheers!

    No way to change it, it's a "feature."  (Not!)

  • LR HTML Web Gallery -- modified version with great features is available

    For anyone using the default Lightroom HTML Web Gallery, one of our associates here has offered a modified version with some great added features.
    John Beardsworth's site -- Lightroom Solutions - http://lightroomsolutions.com/ -- is a wonderful resource for LR tips, plug-ins, information, etc. 
    The default HTML gallery is fine, but I always found it lacked features.  I mentioned this to Ian Lyons (http://www.computer-darkroom.com/) a couple of years ago, and he sent me a modified version with the ability to specify up to 100 rows by using sliders instead of the grid.  When I tried John's modified version, it had some other good features.  I thought.... what if the two modified versions could be combined?  So, I shot John an email, and low and behold, he uploaded a new version of the gallery to his site.  Thank you, Ian and John!
    Here is the link:
    http://lightroomsolutions.com/my-tweaked-built-in-html-gallery/
    Here are the added features that I find most useful:
    Number of rows (up to 100) and columns can be specified using sliders rather than the grid
    Thumbnail images can be sized to your specification
    Filename can be placed on each thumbnail, and you specify size of text
    Clicking the large image advances to the next image rather than returning to the top of the thumbnail page (no need to use the 'next' link)
    See the site for other added features.  (If you already have John's version, the newer version has the same file name and went online April 17, 2013.)
    PLEASE NOTE:  John Beardsworth's HTML gallery is NOT supported by John or Adobe, and is offered "as-is."
    I hope others will find this as useful and I have.

  • Editing Bridge HTML Web Gallery?

    Is it possible to edit the HTML Gallery Web Gallery option in Bridge? I just want it to have file names below the thumbs and preview and it would be perfect for what I want to use it for.

    I've found the location embedded down three "package content" levels:
    /Applications/Adobe Lightroom.app/Contents/Plugins
    /Web.agmodule/Contents/Resources/galleries
    /default_html.lrwebengine/head.html
    and related html files.
    Reminds me of the "beware of the leopard" bit in Hitchhiker's Guide.

  • Adding Rows to HTML Web Gallery

    I am satisfied with Lightroom over all, but there is one item, I could not use at moment -> the web-gallery. I would like to use the standard HTML Gallery, but I need to add more rows. Wish: 3 columns, 8-9 rows (at moment I use Fotostation to built up my web galleries in this way -> see http://www.npx-photo.com -> click on a picture to get to the gallery).
    Is it possible to change the code of the standard gallery? Does anyone has had the same problem and solved it?
    Any help would be great to make my life much easier ;-)

    Don't know if this helps you at all. It's not LR of course.....
    In CS2 Adobe added two Flash-based templates you can use for your online Web Photo Gallery. Even cooler is the fact that you can now add a background music track to one of these Flash galleries. Just follow these steps: First find the MP3 audio track you want to use as your background music and rename the file as "useraudio.mp3". Then open your Photoshop CS2 application folder and navigate to Presets>Web Photo Gallery. Inside that folder look for either Flash Gallery 1 or Flash Gallery 2. Depending on which gallery you chose within Photoshop, drag-and-drop your audio file into the corresponding folder. That's it! You've got background music.

  • Bridge CS4 - Save/Print Photos from Web Gallery

    I have only been using Bridge CS4 for the last couple months to put web galleries on a web page.  I don't know how to change the settings to allow people to save/print the photos from the web gallery once it is posted on the website.  I used to create the photo album in Macromedia with "create web photo album" but this was apparently replaced with Bridge, but the old method allowed for saving and printing.  Any help is appreciated on allowing this to happen with Bridge web gallery.

  • Export Bridge Assets including metadata into searchable web gallery

    Hi,
    We have several thousand images that we have tagged with metadata in Adobe Bridge. We want to be able to export these images and their associated metadata into a searchable web gallery so that customers can search keywords or at the very least pick attributes in order to narrow down the image selection process.
    What software has the ability to do this?
    Thank you!
    -Mike

    Apologies.. my advice may have been wrong.. it is a while since I figured it out.. trying to remember what it was I did..you do have to shorten that file name.. but it may not be the caption you need to change. I suspect I may have selected all the images.. then gone to meta data batch change and done something under the custom button which then applied to all images.
    In my case I needed to get the web address for the gallery created from:
    http://homepage.mac.com/farish/Smartbins™%20Chewing%20Gum%20Bin%20and%20Cigarett e%20Bin%20Image%20Gallery/
    down to:
    http://homepage.mac.com/farish/Chewing%20Gum%20Bin%20Cigarette%20Bin/
    I did manage it but can't quite remember how I did it.
    I will keep playing and when I figure out what I did that worked will post again.
    The web gallery name you choose affects how Google sees the site as when you publish the web gallery - the web gallery name can pop up in Google
    It's quite difficult to figure out exactly what to do. If anyone else knows a definitive answer please advise!

  • Html web Gallery: Cell Number Size

    I need to determine how to alter the size of the Cell Numbers in the :standard" Lightroom Web Gallery layout.
    The numbering is  too large to be clearly seen in the upper left hand corner of the cell i;e the thumbnails cover a portion of the numerals.
    I'm fairly certain that my client is not going to appreciate this "feature".
    How does one change the font size...either in the Lightroom Web Gallery Mode or using HTML...in Dreamweaver or otherwise?
    I' will appreciate any help on this.
    Thank you

    I don't know of a way to influence the size of the cell numbers from within LR.
    From outside LR, you have two options:
    1) If you want to change the number for a specific web gallery you exported:
    Open file [your_webgallery]\resources\css\master.css with a text editor
    Find the section ".itemNumber" and change the value of "font-size:" from 40px to something smaller
    2) If you want to make the change valid for new HTML web galleries you create:
    Open file "\Shared\webengines\default_html.lrwebengine\resources\css\master.css" under your LR installation directory (C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3.2 for WinXP)
    Do the same edit as above
    Note that option 2 has to be repeated after every installation of (new versions) of LR.

  • Lightroom 2.7- HTML Web Gallery

    Hello all,
    I've been using Web Gallery features to produce picture pages but I would like to incorporate them into my existing web pages (with or without a background. I'd like to continue to use Lightroom because of it's ease of use to allow me to create the web sized photos (in the two web optimized sizes), without the backgrounds such that that HTML code can be dropped onto another prebuilt page and updated easily, perhaps coding it in such a way as to allow input from Lightroom?.
    Have you come across this problem? Is there a way that you've found to accomplish this?
    Here's an example of what I've built so far:
    http://a0700308.uscgaux.info/_images/flotilla38_2010_picturepages/index.html
    Here's an example of an existing page that I'd like to be able to update my "PicturePages" web gallery onto.
    http://a0700308.uscgaux.info/flotilla38_blankpage.htm
    The whole concept is to do this and still allow the pictures to be updated from a Lightroom web gallery so they can be added/changed/deleted easily. Appreciate any help...
    Henry

    If you are able to save out the page that you want to include the gallery into as a .php file, then you can include the Lightroom gallery file in there using PHP Includes:
    Doing it this way will allow you to easily publish your Lightroom gallery without being afraid to overwrite the old customized HTML page.

  • File name font (web gallery output)

    I am using CS4 with adobe bridge.  I have created some web galleries and have selected the option to show the file name.  This shows up just below the picture in the gallery.  The problem is the font is too light to show up against my chosen background font.  I am wondering how to change the font color of this file name for the output web gallery.  If anyone knows how to do this, I would greatly appreciate it!!!  Thanks!

    Hi,
    You can change the font colour in the Output Panel, under Color Palette (the order it appears and the options it shows depends on the template you are using). Simply double click the colour swatch sqaure to open up the colour picker and choose a new colour.
    See attached screenshot if you are unsure where to look..

  • CS4 Bridge - Black stroke around image in Web Gallery

    More specifically, I'm using the LightRoom Flash Gallery selection as that provides just the structure that I want/need. To match my website (still in construction) I've altered the colors in Bridge's controls. Separately, I've added a frame around each image in Photoshop with a dropshadow that bleeds into the background color (again, to match the website).
    The problem is that there is a 2 pixel stroke around the image.
    Unfortunately since the image has a frame of its own with a drop shadow bleeding to the page color as part of the image, and that there's a 2 pixel stroke around the image, I've got a dropshadow contained within a stroke frame around the image that already has a frame. To my eyes it looks rather silly.
    Is there anything I can do to get rid of this stroke? You can see two images with the problem here:
    http://thecoynes.com/hdr/hdr_photographs/
    By the way, before you suggest it, in the color palette options for this Web Export, there is an option for "Border." Unfortunately that is for the 1 pixel round-corner-rectangle border around the thumbnails and image. It doesn't do anything to *this* border. In addition, the structure of this web gallery is EXACTLY like the one in LightRoom and has the exact same results and problems.
    Thanks for any help,
    Gary

    Tomrock,
    Please read the last paragraph where I start "By the way, before you suggest it..."
    In other words, yup, I've tried that and it refers to the 1 pixel border around the thumbs and the overall image.
    Thanks for suggesting anyway, I've spent way too much time on this already.

  • Using captions (or, hiding file names) for Web Gallery with Aperture 2.0

    Is there a way to add captions to pictures displayed using the Aperture 2.0 web gallery without changing the actual file name? I'd like to keep the file name but add a caption to each photo if possible.
    Thanks

    Hi John
    I'm not making extra versions for this, just using the version name as the name in the web gallery. If you are not already using the version name then it lends itself to web gallery naming nicely. If you are using version names already, perhaps reconsider how necessary this is to you as you are tying up this other potential use.
    My file names all contain a date and index number but I try and use more 'user friendly' version names if part of my final output will be for web galleries. This is good for clients as they don't have complicated names to order, but it's also a cinch to find the files using the search bar in Aperture.
    Hope this helps

  • Web Module: Works great, but is it possilble to publish an HTML web gallery that does not use thumbnails, but just displays all photos (one above another)?

    It would be nice if a published web gallery did not require clicking or sliding in order to view a new picture. Is there a template that just puts up every image in the gallery, full-size, one above another? That's how I like my webpages - see, for example, www.sgrhoa.net/betz/150205/ .
    Thanks!
    Bill

    The built-in templates do not do that. At a quick glance, none of the available templates from Adobe's site do that either.

  • HTML web gallery indexes and bug with Chrome browsers

    I'm getting weird results with Lightroom to generate HTML web galleries and viewed on a Chrome browsers where the last image in a row drops down to the next row, making the index look horked? Sample page below, could someone using Chrome let me know if they are seeing the same thing? Is this an issues isolated to me, or known by Adobe?  http://www.wrestlersarewarriors.com/images/wrestling/college/2015/15CMWSFSSTAN/index.html

    Tried it on Chrome 40.0.2214.111m running on Win7 and it looks ok.
    There is a 6x5 grid of photos, none out of place.
    Checked through several different galleries. Firefox 35 and IE 11 all look the same.
    I can also check it out on a chromebook tomorrow when at work

  • HTML web gallery with 3 sizes?

    Hello all! I'm getting started with the LR SDK and am currently dissecting the default_html.lrwengine gallery template. That gallery supports a grid of thumbnails which link to a detail page for each photo. I'm trying to add a second link on the detail pages which links to a full size copy of each photo (the detail page versions are not full size but instead something like "medium" resolution).
    I have created photoSizes in the model for thumb, medium, and large with all the correct properties, I added a second AddPhotoPages entry to the manifest (for the full size version), and I have edited my thumbs.html (replacing grid.html), medium.html (replacing detail.html), and large.html files to link each other accordingly... however, the medium >> large link never seems to work.
    Is there some trick to adding a third (or more) size to LR web galleries? Do I need to do something beyond just adding more photoSizes and more html files? Is there some funky syntax for including more than one AddPhotoPages entry in the manifest? I assumed that's what the "variant" property was for...

    I've done a version of this where the large file links to the medium and it works no problem. code is based on tutorial code I've already written..
