Bridge MUST KEEP ORIGINAL FILES NAMES when creating a web gallery.

My clients use the galleries I create to download higher resolution images, and now Bridge decides to randomly rename the output images with arbitrary numbers? REALLY? Why on earth would Bridge even NEED to do that? So stupid, please fix, pronto.

I agree.
The web gallery is useless this way.
Fix needed asap!

Changed File Name but reverts to original file name when exported or copied

I created a folder of 150 photos for a video montage and numbered them all by editing the file name. When I export (or copy and paste) the images to a folder on my desktop, the files all revert back to their original file names. Any ideas?

In iPhoto what you see originally is the file name as the title. Any changes to it remain in iPhoto unless you export out with the appropriate options to either same the title with the file and/or use the title as the file name.
When you export the photos via the File->Export->File Export menu option there's a File Name drop down menu at the bottom from which you can select Use Title. That will give you the Titles you changed as the new file name.

Uploaded home movies revert to the original file name when added to iTunes?

I have Home Video files that I have renamed from the original file names. When I add these files to iTunes, the files revert to the original file name at the time the file was created. How can I add these files to iTunes with the new file name without having to rename every Home Movie that has been added?

OK I have done some more work and think i have the issue resolved. The problem lies with file formats specifically .mp4 and .m4v
I suspect the files you are importing are mp4 files. When I do this i get the same behaviour of file names changing their name after playback. When i convert my files to m4v format and import the issue disappears.

Tethering in Lightroom with MK III - Can't keep original file names

Hello,
I am shooting a Canon Mark III to Lightroom 3.3 with RAW 6.3 on OS 10.5.8. All I want to do is insert custom text in front of the original file name from the camera. I cannot even seem to get Lightroom to allow the images to maintain the naming from the camera. The options "filename", "original file number" and "sequence" all rename the files in accordance with Lightroom preferences. I want to keep the naming from the camera and simply add custom text in addition to it. I would be pleased to even learn if Lightroom can accept the name from the camera as it does not seem able to do so. No matter what I select, input, or leave out, Lightroom seems to rename the file in some way or another.
The problem with most of the naming conventions in Lightroom is that the numbers seem to reset when the camera gets turned off. "Sequence" is the only setting that maintains a consistent and ascending count even if the camera is turned off then back on but it still doesn't reflect the camera settings which most photographers prefer to leave on continuous. While this affords a temporary solution, it does not fix the issue that we would prefer to see the original filename and number that the camera puts out. I have tested all the filename settings in Lightroom (including inputting nothing) and can't seem to get the actual original camera written filename to show up. PLEASE HELP!
It is hard to imagine that any software this powerful, especially from Adobe, could overlook and fail to execute something so crucial and basic as simply not overwriting the file info from the camera.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Hello,
original file name is only stored in the lightroom catalog file. This means, the original filename is stored in your LR4 catalog! After you upgraded to LR5 you simply have to open the LR4 catalog and LR5 will convert the catalog into an LR5 catalog.
I hope, you still have an LR4 catalog backup (before you removed all images)? Otherwise original file name is lost.

How to keep original file name in File- Soap- Soap- File scenario?

Hi Gurus,

There are two PI landscape for two different company and they are communicating using Soap adapter. We need to pass a flat file cross the two PI now, and need to keep the original file name.Anyone could shed some lights on this?
Thanks,

Hi Rajesh - See if you can make use of Dynamic configuration bean. I'm not sure if it works but you can give a try..
Unknown use case of DynamicConfigurationBean: Store file name to JMS header without mapping
Adding DynamicConfigurationBean in the Module Processor - SAP NetWeaver Process Integration - SAP Library
Set the adapter specific attributes in file sender channel for filename
swap the file name value to any other soap adapter attribute in the receiver channel using the above module
again swap the attributes in soap sender channel(your second system)

Any way to keep original file name as image name for web gallery?

Hi,
I wonder if there is any way to keep the original file name as image name for a web gallery (instead of "picture-1.jpg)
People often send us the thumbnails or the image from the web and we have to search forever to find the image in AP - if we could keep our original filename then this would be a second away.
Hope somebody has an idea
thanks

Hi William,
I finally had time to play - unfortunately it does
not work the way you described above.
I´m just exporting a set of images using the "Stock
Black" Theme - marked name only - batched the
filename to masterfile - but the actual picture names
are still "picture-1.jpg" - "picture-2.jpg".
did I miss anything? thanks
I see what you want, you don't care about the screen name so much but want the generated file names to be the same as the version names. From earlier messages though I am not quite sure why this is a problem, since you said other people were picking the images they wanted - say Image1 and 23 and 8. That to me says those people are going through the directory using Finder or Explorer, not using the HTML.
Is it the case you are giving people web galleries on CD? If so, then perhaps also export a "browse" directory with exported images using the version names, so that people can use the right name.
Or perhaps it's the case that people are downloading the images from the web, and then using the downloaded file names to send you requests. I'm not sure how to fix this yet and do not know if 1.1 offers something for this.

How do I retain the original file name when using Compressor?

Hello,
I am in the process of doing a batch export and would like to keep everything identical to the source material, including the name. There is quite a bit of footage so deleting the "-Apple ProRes 422 for Progressive material" addition can be time consuming.
Any suggestions?
I found this thread:
http://discussions.info.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2369070
but even though I read it more than 10 times I could not set a "custom" path in my destination options.
I only have the following options available from the pulldown:
-Cluster Storage
-Desktop
-Source
-Users movie folder
Any help is greatly appreciated.

As was mentioned in the thread you linked to, the easiest way is to create a custom Destination. Here are some step-by-step instructions:
1. Click the Destinations tab.
2. Click the plus sign in the upper right and choose "Local..."
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19589/Compressor%20Custom%20Destination.png
3. Navigate to or create your destination folder. Click "Open" to select the destination.
At this point, you've created a new custom destination. To select it, click the disclosure triangle next to the "Custom" folder. This is where all of your custom destinations are located.
4. Select the custom destination you want to use for your batch.
5. In the inspector, you'll see a box where you can change the "Output Filename Template". By default, it'll just have "Source File Name". If that's all you want, then press return.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19589/Compressor%20Destination%20Inspector.png
Now, when you go back to your batch window and apply this custom destination to your job settings, Compressor will apply the Output Filename Template to your filenames. Basically, it will get rid of the setting name (as long as you only have "Source File Name" in the Filename Template.
Hope this helps.

Converted to PDF how do I keep original File name??

Hi
I've set up a automator action to compress my Microsoft Word Document to PDF and "mail file". How do i keep the original Word document filename that i originally saved as, rather that the "Microsoft Word Document.doc" as it appears in the new email message
Thanks for any help
Jonathan

It is a problem with Microsoft Word. When it sends a print job, it names it "Microsoft Word Document," instead of something useful, like the document name. Since there is no way to capture the name of the original file when you print from the PDF Services menu, I don't see a way to code it.
A workaround is to add a "Rename Finder Items" action between the compress and Mail actions. Set it to rename a single item and show the action at runtime. You can then type in a name you want.
I had started working on a method to get the name of the document, but realized the problem that I stated above. Since you are "Printing" from the PDF Services, you don't know the actual document name as Microsoft has "hidden" it.

I just downloaded iOS 8 on my iPad air. This has caused the file names of all of my PDFs in iBooks to revert to their original file name when I downloaded the file, not the custom file names I gave them after downloading the files. In the list of fil

PDF file names changed with iOS 8

Further to above
Progress Notable!
But before I outline the details, I wish to apologise to APPLE for laying the blame at their doorstep for loosing or misplacing those PDFs I have on the iPad 1, when I set up my iPad Air , by restoring from the backup of iPad 1, thus copying all data from the old to the new.
NOT REALLY THEIR FAULT AT ALL
Because a lot of the many PDFs had the same name, ie PDF.pdf, probably my fault more than anybody else's, so I can't blame APPLE for that. Just goes to show one should be a little more precise in creating these portable documents.
No wonder the poor program " lost its' marbles" when doing the updating and conversion/transfer.
However, I was able to recover most of them by personal email, and extracting and RENAMING the PDFs as I located them in their new home.
Those PDFs that we're locked an thus not email-able , I will deal with by
Viewing
Photoeing (if that's how you spell it).
And re-building the PDF from the photos, in unlocked format, after transferring these files either by Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, from the old to the new iPad.
So all is not lost, and I am thankful that my cautious approach to this matter in the first place, gave me the ability for this successful recovery.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
I hope this little story of my saga/experience may prove helpful to others yet to cross the chasm of updating.
Regards to all, including APPLE.
NICE STUFF YOU MAKE.

How can you keep the file name when using "Download Linked File As..."?

I'm a longtime PC user finally making the transition to Mac. Some of the tasks that seemed so simple in Windows have really stumped me! One of the tasks I do frequently is download files into specific folders. After much looking, I finally found the "Download Linked File As..." option if I right-click on the download link. The problem is, when I choose this option, I lose the file name. I get a window in which I can choose the desired folder, but the filename is always "0". If I want to keep the filename (and I usually do), I have to type it in manually. Is there anyway around this?

You can post a screen shot by clicking on the liitle Camera icon above your reply. :)
Just checked on 10.7.4+, still the same, something is borked about your install, to see if we need to re-install...
To find out if it's system wide or user specific, try this...
Open System Preferences>Accounts, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.
Does it work in the new account?

Bridge CS4 - keep original file date/time

Is it possible to set Bridge NOT to change original file modify date/time when editing metadata?
Something like Irfan can do...
thanks

I know what you mean. Since the modified date is the only picture related date that can be used in explorer (and some other tools) for sorting, it's a very valuable field.
While to my knowledge it's not possible to conserve the modified date in Bridge, it's at least possible to change it back to its original value after you've tagged your pictures in Bridge. For that, you need the free software EXIF Tool GUI:
http://freeweb.siol.net/hrastni3/foto/exif/exiftoolgui.htm
There, under "Modify", you can choose "FileModifyDate as in Exif:DateTimeOriginal
If your only concern is sorting, I would recommend the following strategy:
Before doing any tagging, use a renaming tool, such as the freeware LupasRenam2000 v.5
http://rename.lupasfreeware.org/
In there, sort your files according to the modified date (as long as it's still correct) and then add an increasing AutoNumber in front of your filename. Now, you can always sort by filename and get the correct temporal order.
Best regards

HELP! I lose original file name when changing folders or extensions

I'm confused! Didn't used to be a problem, but now, when I 'save as' and change either the original file location or the file extension (eg PSD to JPG) the file name changes to ".jpg" Any ideas would help!!! thanks.

Default format isn't the problem. I don't think i explained very good, let me elaborate:
Say I have a file named "abcdefg".
I open it, and edit it, add layers etc.
When I choose "save as" the orgianal name of the file appears ("abcdefg") as the "file name", all good here.
This is where the problem occurs: if I
A) change the folder the file will be saved in
B) change the format/extension
the file name "abcdefg" is wiped out and the file is automatically renamed ".JPG" or ".PSD" whichever format the orgianl files was (if i'm saving in a different folder) or ".JPG" ".PSD" according to the new format/extension.
This is a problem because i'm working with long complex file names that I'd prefer to not have to manually enter everytime I save. To make things more frustrating, it wasn't doing this before. Any info helps, and thanks for the quick response.

How can i resize lots of photos all at once keeping original file names

Can we have . inbetween the file name when we use WEB.SHOW_DOCUM

i am using froms 10 g
i have 2 buttons .on clicking those buttons i have to open a csv files.
for that i have used WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT in button Pressed.
the name of the csv files is as follows
1. ICCM_PAK_MLP_IN1CE_15092006_ReceptionSDB.csv
2. ICCM_PAK_MLP.tar.gz_ReceptionSDB.csv
the 1 st button will open the first file and the second will open the second .csv file
On pressing the button 1 it opens the first csv file ICCM_PAK_MLP_IN1CE_15092006_ReceptionSDB.csv
correctly.
but the problem is ,On pressing the button 2 is not opening the file whereas it pop ups a window asking do you want to extract the zip file if i say yes it is not doing anything.
i think the problem is with the csv file name
ICCM_PAK_MLP.tar.gz_ReceptionSDB.csv
can we have . inbetween the file name i thk it is considering the .tar which is inbetween the file name as file type
anyone please advise

"can we have . inbetween the file name i thk it is considering the .tar which is inbetween the file name as file type"
I believe you found the answer to your question. Why not try removing the . in the filename? It would be faster than asking.

How can I export Keywords when creating a Web Gallery?

I would like to include the keywords applied to an image when exporting to a Web Gallery. I have learned how to include the caption, and there's a possibility of copy and paste the keywords to the caption before export, but as you can tell, that adds unnecessary steps.
I suppose the larger question is "how do I customize the exported web gallery, and the content it includes?" but that will come next.
Big picture, I'm working on creating a searchable "proof book" and my initial thoughts are to create a custom html template which includes a Google search bar, and indexes / searches the keywords of each photo, exported to the web gallery.
Step one is to get the keywords to export ...

Right-click the page, choose View Page Info, and click the Permissions tab. There you can turn off automatic loading of images (uncheck Use default first to enable the controls). Any luck?
There might be a way to restore that more direct right-click menu item if you need it frequently, but I haven't researched it.
To clean up a page for printing, you also could consider an add-on like the following: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/print-edit/ Print Edit :: Add-ons for Firefox]. Then you wouldn't have to re-enable images each time.
