Camera Roll - File names and the counter

This is my first iPhone, so I don't know if this is a new issue or not. But one thing that has been bugging me is the camera roll. Some people leave all their pictures there, while others use it as a "temporary folder" until their next sync, and then they put those photos in other folders, etc. I used to keep all my pics in the Camera Roll until I got a lot of them and realized how slow it was for all of them to load when downloading them via Image Capture. I also hear all these stories online of people "loosing" their files from their camera roll so I now MOVE my pictures out of there, and put them in various other folders to organize them (like "screenshots" "family pictures" etc) which then get synced back to my iPhone for viewing.
My problem is, the FILE NAMING.
So lets say I take a photo. It is named IMG_0001.JPG
Then I take a screenshot. It is named IMG_0002.PNG
Then I sync my phone. Both are moved to my pictures folder, and removed from the phone. The screenshot goes in my screenshots folder and the photo goes to a photo folder.
I go to take another picture. But, it gets named IMG_0001.JPG
The problem here? I go to move that picture into a folder with others and I get an error saying that a file with the same name exists. I then have to rename the file or delete the old one to be able to put it in the folder.
So, whats going on? Why isn't that third picture named IMG_0003.jpg?
My Kodak digital camera names its files the same way. (actually, 100_0001, 100_0002, etc) and when I clear the pictures off the card, it KEEPS THE NUMBERING! (until I reach 100_9999, and then it goes to 101_0001)
Any ideas (other then mass renaming all of my existing files?)
Also, I am aware that I can use iPhoto instead as it doesn't care about the filenames, but then if I ever want to pull them out of iPhoto, I am still screwed with messed up file names.
I can't believe a bug like this still hasn't been fixed by Apple. There must be something I'm doing wrong.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions or comments about this issue.
-Scott

Does anyone know if this has been fixed in 4.1?
I upgraded to it, but I'm afraid to delete all my photos to see if the number will correct itself or not.

  • When I download files, firefox is adding " .part " to the file name and the file won't open, but if i back the .part out, it opens fine.

    Firefox seems to be adding " .part " to the file names of files I downoad. Here's an example:
    YuT9iNv8.pdf.part
    I cannot open this file because it can't find an application.
    If I back out the .part, I get a box asking if I want to change the extension to .pdf I check yes, and everything works fine. It doesn't happen with other browsers (Safai).

    I get the error message saying the file could not be downloaded due because there is no enough disk space.

  • Can I print the File name and page number

    When printing a file, I would like to print the File Name and the page number also...something like a header, in every page printed.  Is this possible in Acrobat?  Please advise.
    Thanks

    Sure. Did you look under Tools - Pages - Header & Footer ?

  • Copy File name and Date only from a Folder with SSIS

    Hello all,
    I need to create a package which will list the file names and the dates in a folder, these files are blank flat files. After extracting the file names from the file path i need to create a table which will have two columns Filename and
    Date.We get about 1000 such files every month and we are looking to maintain them in a table.
    Is this possible? Can someone point me in the right direction? 
    FM

    Arthur , I actually figured it out. The For each container let me pass thru the file name, then I inserted the file name into my staging table. I created a FilePath variable and basically Did a sql task and
    INSERT INTO MyTable
    SELECT Filename = ?,
    LoadDate = GetDate()
    In my for each loop I added a *.*txt qualifier... I`ve tested and works well... Got what I needed.

  • Printing FILE NAME and DATE PRINTED?

    when i was on a mac i used to be able to have a default in the printer dialog so that every page printed showed the file name and the data printed. i would like to do this in the mac but i am guessing that this has to be done in either the specialized software dialog box or perhaps in a mac dialog box?
    in any event, can anyone help me figure out where i might find a place to do this? i haveadobe acrobat but i wold also like to do it in something like Preview as well.
    TIA

    if i have documents coming that i print for a project and these are quite naturally coming from different software it i have no way now of being able to FIND this file in my computer when i am looking at it.
    Consider using Find from the File menu or Spotlight to search for the document. In one of your previous posts, you stated that you name documents with a date and name. Then perhaps search for the name. Also, with your method of naming documents, if the document is a letter, wouldn't the date on the letter and the person to whom the letter is addressed to give clues to the filename and thus finding it on your computer?
    this is a major organizational issue over here and customizing a template for all my various software should be unnecessary IMHO.
    I do not know how many documents you deal with but I do know that there a many organizations that deal with billions of documents. In addition, if you share documents with others or others with you, there is not a filenaming method that works for everyone. People adapt to each other. A date in a filename could have several forms such as month-date-year or year-month-date, two digits or four digits for year and so on and so forth.
    Are you saying it IS necessary to have this dual file type that has a Pages document which then prints a PDF?
    No. Please re-read  what I wrote and the Pages Help Center articles.
    also, is there in fact a way to save a PDF back out as a Pages document?
    Yes, re-read what I wrote (that which you quoted).
    "Acrobat has the capability to save a PDF in other formats such as Microsoft Word, which can be opened in Pages. That said IMO, a separate Pages document for each "custom" letter/report would not be necessary."
    alternatively i guess i could create a Pages TEMPLATE - that has a DATE in the header that automatically updates .../but/ i am realizing that this has the unfortunate consequence of having the DATE updated if i open the Pages document again
    But that is what you stated you wanted because
    ...and try to remember to SAVE AS this document with another name with the original FILE NAME but a NEW DATE. this does not always work and sometimes i write over the original accidentally.
    anyway, maybe the answer here is to create a Template for any new document type and simply use this template any time i need to create a PDF and then not save or delete the original Pages document but this seems a bit hairy and dangerous in terms of possibly losing a file if i forget to print to PDF or something.
    You have redundant backups, yes?
    It seems that your understanding of a template is different from what it actually is, its purpose and its use. If you have not already done so, try using one of the included Pages templates to create a document that you would reuse to get a better understanding of how it works and to help determine your workflow. What you wrote in the last post seems to be a lot of what ifs but not hands on experience with the software itself. My response was based on my experience of using many types of software and in particular to your questions, Pages and Acrobat. Perhaps you will find better responses in the Pages forum and for Acrobat there is a forum at the Adobe web site.
    is there a lock file functionality in Pages in Mountain Lion or was this in Lion?!
    Perhaps reviewing the tutorials for Pages or searching with Google would  help answer many of your questions.

  • Should the web page address be included in the file name in the meta data dialog box?

    In the page properties > meta data > below is a field with the label file name: (the the area to type in the field), after the field, it is labeled .html.
    I have 2 questions here.
    1. If I type in http//:www (my page url), do I include .html at the end? I didn't know if this is automatically added because it is off to the side of the field?
    2. If I type in the entire URL address: http//:www (etc, etc).html,    after closing the page properties dialog box, I make it a habit to double check my work. What happens is the http//:www.xxx changes to (htttpwww.xxx). It drops the //: on the URL.
    So would it be better to just type in www.xxx (without the http//:www.xxx)
    and do you type in the .html at the end?
    I am assuming this will help with SEO page ranking or at least makes it easier for the search engines to crawl your site??
    I hope this makes sense.
    Advise would be very helpful.
    Ben

    You are absolutely correct with the URL Ben. Taking your above example, you just need to type in "Services" in the file name and the webpage will be exported as services.html and the URl will be  www.xyz.com/services.html.
    All the webpages (be it parent page or child page) gets physically saved at the root directory of your website on the server (where your website resides).
    This name is just the name of the file using which it is physically stored and called from the server. It does not help search Engines to crawl deeper inside the website.
    As I explained, "name which you wants the .html file to be stored with" here means the name of the physical file which is getting saved on the server.
    Most users leave the file name same as Page name. If you have it different from page name then this will be the workflow :
    Page Name : About
    File Name : test
    domain : www.mysite.com
    Now if you are  using a Menu Widget, it will list "About" in the Menu. And when end user will click on "About" then it will call the file named "test.html" from the server location (where all the files of your website are stored).
    And it will open a page with address "www.mysite.com/test.html"
    Hope I am able to explain the concept of File Name here. Please let us know if you have further queries on this.

  • File adapter - How to pass File name and path at runtime

    Hi gurus,
    We want to use PI 7.0 as an ftp server and expose the config as a webservice where the service consumer can pass one or more file names and the path to pick them and drop them on a fixed ftp server.
    So precisely, I need to be able to set the file name, target directory parameters in both sender and receiver file/ftp adapters at runtime. is this possible at all ?
    I am aware of passing Adapter specific parameters from sender file adapter to receiver file adapter to create the same folder structure and file names. But my requirement is different. I hope I am clear.
    Could I please get some advise on this .
    Thanks & Kind Regards,
    Jhansi.

    Hi Jhansi,
    Either you can go ahead with dynamic configuration as said by other SDN'ers. Else can go with Java Mapping:
    Here is the code for Java Mapping:
    import com.sap.aii.mapping.api.*;
    import java.io.*;
    import java.text.*;
    import java.util.*;
    public class GetDynamicConfiguration implements StreamTransformation {
    private Map param;
    public void setParameter(Map map1) {
    this.param = map1;
    public void execute(InputStream inputstream, OutputStream outputstream) throws StreamTransformationException {
    try {
    AbstractTrace trace = null;
    // a) Set ouput File name
    String directory=null;
    trace = (AbstractTrace)param.get(StreamTransformationConstants.MAPPING_TRACE );
    param.put(DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/Dynamic", StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION), "");
    DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) param.get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
    DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File", "FileName");
    DynamicConfigurationKey key1 = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File", "Directory");
    String filename =conf.get(key);
    conf.put(key, filename);
    trace.addInfo("File name is "+filename);
    if(filename.equals("in.txt"))
    directory = "/home/ftpxi/in";
    if(filename.equals("test.txt"))
    directory = "/home/ftpxi/in/test";
    if(filename.equals("shweta27.txt"))
    directory = "/home/ftpxi/in/test";
    trace.addInfo("Directory name is "+directory);
    conf.put(key1, directory);
    // b) Just copy input file to output file
    byte[] b = new bytehttp://inputstream.available();
    inputstream.read(b);
    outputstream.write(b);
    } catch (Exception exception) {
    exception.printStackTrace();

  • How to hide the file name (the bizarre number assigned by the camera) when exporting an image version in aperture from an album. Pl understand I want to keep the file name in the project library version.

    how to hide the file name (the bizarre number assigned by the camera) when exporting an image version in aperture from an album. Pl understand I want to keep the file name in the project library version.

    Within Aperture you have Images, which are constructed on-the-fly from two files (the Master and the Version).  You get an image-format file _only_ when you export an Image.  You select the file name (usually a scheme) when you create an image-format file (that is, when you export).  Look under "Aperture→Presets→File Naming" for built-in Presets.  You can, of course, create your own or customize any provided.
    The Preset is applied to only the file newly created by your "export" command.  It is not applied to the Image in Aperture (unless you rename your Versions or your Masters).

  • I can not transfer date from one hard drive to another, I keep getting an error because I have two of the same file names and one file name is in caps and I cant change the file name

    can not transfer date from one hard drive to another, I keep getting an error because I have two of the same file names and one file name is in caps and I cant change the file name. My original external has an error and needs to be reformatted but I dont want to lose this informations its my entire Itunes library.

    Sounds like the source drive is formatted as case sensitive and the destination drive is not. The preferred format for OS X is case insensitive unless there is a compelling reason to go case sensitive.
    Why can't you change the filename? Is it because the source drive is having problems?  If so is this happening with only one or two or a few files? If so the best thing would be to copy those over individually and then rename them on the destination drive.
    If it is more then you can do manually and you can't change the name on the source you will have to reformat the destination as case sensitive.
    Btw this group is for discussion of the Support Communities itself, you;d do better posting to Lion group. I'll see if a host will move it.

  • How can I set the file name and folder for output to PDF from another application?

    I am developing an application in Microsoft Access where the printed reports are to be saved in PDF format for archive purposes. I can send the output to Adobe X, but the default file name is the Access report name and the folder selected is the one last used.
    What I need to do is to create the file with a specific name (which changes for each run) and to a specific folder (which also changes for each run).
    The language I'm using is Visual Basic for Applications which is located in an Access form that controls the report production.
    Any suggestions, please?

    Got it - many thanks.
