Change the name of a saved file ?

I saved a letter and gave it a name. Now I want to change the name of the letter. How in the world do you do this simple thing ? What is going on here.

I agree with you that this is not good design and only adds to the confusion of new users, not lessens it.
It also makes more steps for experienced users.
Still it is what it is. Personally I'm sticking with Snow Leopard. After all the anticipation I found Apple has screwed up Lion and it is looking like their version of Vista. A rearrangement of the deckchairs to distract you from the gaping hole in the side of the ship, and that the Shipping Company has decided they are switching to other businesses.
Save a version is Save, and OSX handles all saves using versions you can step back through.
Duplicate is Save as with an extra step inbetween where the file has another name that you need to change. btw also lacks a shortcut. Nice one Apple.
Revert has always been there in OSX and was one of the few improvements in that it consistently lets you go back to your last saved version.

How do I change the name property of a file in a document library?

I am trying to come up with an Event Receiver that will change the name property of an file when it is uploaded. For instance when a file is uploaded into a document Library, currently the Title is being generated (which is fine)...I want to be able to
change the "Name" property from whatever it is, to match exactly what is in the "Title" property. Are there any sample codes/blogs out there that I can take a look at? Has anyone had any experience doing this? It seems like something
that should be straight forward, to change the "Name" property to match what is in the "Tilte" property.

Hi,
You can try the code below which use the SPFile.MoveTo() function to change the name of the file.
EventFiringEnabled = false;
SPFile f = properties.ListItem.File;
string spfileExt = new FileInfo(f.Name).Extension;
f.MoveTo(properties.ListItem.ParentList.RootFolder.Url +
"/" + properties.ListItem["Title"]+ "_new" + spfileExt);
f.Update();
EventFiringEnabled = true;

How do you change the name of a folder/file on an expansion drive

How do you change the name of a folder/file on an expansion drive or external hard drive?

The same way you change it on the internal drive; click on the name and wait a second or two for the field to drop into editing mode, then just type the new name. Or Get Info on the file/folder and change the name there.
Regards.

Change the name of an image file in Photos app

Just wondering how you change the name of an image file in the new 2015 Photos app?

The only way to change the filename of an image is to export the image with a new filename: When exporting you can select the title a s a new filename.
Then reimport the renamed file to Photos and delete the original version.

How do we change the name of a sound file once it is in the session?

The only way that you can rename the audio file from within Audition is to do a Save As from the Waveform view AFAIAA. You can rename clips by clicking in the name box at the top of the Properties window or by right clicking on the clip and selecting Rename from the drop down menu (this will automatically open the Properties window if it isn't already open).

How to change the name of a pdf file in iBooks on ipad

I have a number of appliance and tool manuals as pdf files uploaded to my iPad. In order to identify them easier I would like to change the names of the files. I changed them in iTunes on my computer but they do not change on the iPad2 when I sync. Is there a way to do this?

Greg,
I had been working on this a while and found what worked. Save the pdf to your desktop with the file name as you want it. Open up itunes on half of your monitor. Drag the file to the library section of itunes (music, videos, books, movies etc...). When you drag to the library section, it will put it the book section of itunes. Sync and you will see the file in ibooks on your ipad. Give it shot.

Why iPad change the name of my photos (file name) ?

I use the iPad to save my photos directly from the camera when I walk on the road.
If I copy the files into Aperture they appear with the name given to it by the camera.
If sending the files to the Dropbox they come up with completely different names of the original.
Is there possibility to change this?
Sorry for my bad english
Thans very much

I use Dropbox app that I downloaded from Apple Store with iTunes.
I tried also Photo Manager Pro and get same bad results.

How do I change the name of an empty album in my photo file?

Could someone out there please tell me how to change the name on a photo file and or delete one?

In the Photos app, go to the Albums list and tap the Edit button. Pick an album, tap the red icon on the left and then tap the Delete button.
Don't think you can change the name of an album or a photo without relying on a computer.

Changing the name of a uploaded excel file

Hi everyone,
I am being able to manage to change the name of a excel file when I am working on a scenario with a single file like this:
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/204/67859086.jpg/
Here goes the BUT, but when I am trying to upload several files at the same time, I am not being able to rename the files.
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/694/16392664.jpg/
When I do have several file the package works like this:
It list all the excel files and stores them into a *.LST file, after that it stores the names on a table. After that it uses a wildcard excel file to put the info to be uploaded, the on the scenario it transforms the data and uploads it into the target tables, then I supposedly change the name but it does not work.
Then It moves the file to another folder, and erase the name from the temp table….
I do really appreciate your help and guidance.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if any further information is required.
Best regards.

There is an interface as step 2. I had similar issue once when I wanted to delete Excel file that was just used via Windows ODBC driver in a step before. Solution there was to create two packages, one doing the job and a wait step at the end the other one just deletes the file. Now put the two into a master package and run it from there.
Probably the ODBC driver has the *.xls file still in some kind of stale/cached access.

Trying to change the name of 1 file

I have searched the topic and have not found a solution that works for me,
I am trying to write an AppleScript that will change the name of a single file from path:old.txt to path:new.txt
I have tried
tell application "Finder"
set name of file "work.txt" to PartA & PartG & ticker & ".txt"
end tell
among others and always either receive an error message, access denied or unable to set old file name to new file name

You're missing the point.
set name of file "work.txt" to PartA & PartG & ticker & ".txt"
When you set the name of the file, the Finder needs two things - the original file that you're trying to rename, and the new name you want it to take.
In your revised script you're specifying the existing name (not path) of the file you want to change, and specifying its path along with the new name. That's the wrong way around.
Think of this command in the following manner:
set name of (original file specification) to (new file name)
Now, in the case of the 'original file specification' you need to provide enough information for the Finder to identify the file. You're just saying 'work.txt', but that is not enough (and that's why it's complaining). There could be a hundred 'work.txt' files spread around in different directories on your disk. How is the Finder supposed to know which one you want to change?
A better format would be:
tell application "Finder"
set name of (file "work.txt" of path to desktop) to "ABC.txt"
end tell
In this way the Finder can absolutely identify which file you want to change (the file 'work.txt' that's on your desktop) and the new name you want it to take.
Now, if the file is not on your desktop you can amend the script to include the relevant path, e.g.:
tell application "Finder"
set name of (file "work.txt" of folder "blah" of disk "disk name") to "ABC.txt"
end tell
This tells the Finder to look in the folder 'blah' on the specified disk.
You can also do this by including the path to the file in the form:
tell application "Finder"
set name of (file "disk name:blah:work.txt) to "ABC.txt"
end tell
where you use : to delimit each folder in the path.
Hope that helps.

If I change a file name, how can I get DW to just change the name on server?

I've got a reasonable grasp of site management but I just changed a bunch of files to replace an uppecase letter with a lower case e.g. MyFile.jpg to myfile.jpg and DW doesn't manage that on the server.
I ended up canging my file names, syncing the folder, deleting the duplicates directly on the server and then uploadin the HTML page the images link to. Seemed like a long way of doing things in relation to the way DW manages everything else?

Hello Beth
Thanks for that but it was rather what I wondered if I could avoid.
The problem arises because of trying to manage gallery images. I needed to change the name of a .jpg file and wondered if I could update the server without updating everything else. All my pages work OK and I needed to change several image names. I went through the images and changed them locally, and DW updates everything fine. So I synchronise the pages and would have just liked to have updated the image filenames without having to wait for the upload of just the image files which were the same.
Even as I'm typing that out I realise it would be a small miracle to expect DW to compensate for my own ceaseless laziness...

Every time I download a file to my macbook pro, it saves it to downloads but changes the name and inserts % sign. Please advise how to correct the name that it is saved under.

Existing cross Reference: how to change the name of the file it refers to?

Hi everybody,
I am a professional translator.
One client of mine sent me a complete FrameMaker 9 book file for translation.
I translated the content via a CAT-Tool and now am in the process of checking if cross references and markers are ok directly into the file.
I noticed that many cross references are linked to another file of the book. But in the process of translating each file separately, I gave them a slightly different name (I added the language at the end) so as to be able to recognise them eventually.
Now I have this problem: I cannot find in the cross reference interface where to change the name of the file into the new one the cross reference is supposed to refer to.
Am I right in wanting to change the file reference? If so, how do I do that?
Or is it better to avoid this task and rename the translated file into their original names ? Would it work then?
Thanks for your help.

... book file ...
... each file separately, I gave them a slightly different name (I added the language at the end) ...
I'm guessing that you renamed the component files by means other than using the Edit > Rename File from the Book menu.
If so, do over. Rename from the Book menu. It automatically revises all the cross-references in all the component files.
In a Book, the only thing that's safe to rename with the file manager is the .book file itself.

Changing the Name of Text Links to a File

I happily discovered that iWeb will create download links to files such as text, spreadsheet, word processing, PDF, and the like, if you zip them. However, when I create a text link to a file, the linked text takes on the name of the file, such as YourDownload.zip, rather than keeping the description I entered when creating the link. So links to files don't work the same way that links to URLs or other web pages within a site do, in that the link path (the URL) is separate from the name or description of the link. Is there a way around this apart from using graphics objects for the links?
Any advice would be most appreciated.

Once the text link is created you can go back, select the text and change the name to anything you want. It doesn't have to the the name of the zipped file. An annoyance but easily overcome.

Change the name of a file.

Hello, I don't how can I change the name of a file ?.
Somebody can help me, please?
For example : c:\out\prove1.csv to c:\out\prove1_09112007_163001.csv
Thanks

Another way would be to use the FILE_COPY and
FILE_DELETE of the class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES to first copy the file and then delete the other one.
