Changing file name on a batch of files

I have a new PC and have moved all of my photographs from an external HDD (Drive E) to my new Drive C.
If I try to edit one of the moved photos, PE tries to find it in E:\, but of course cannot.
I see how to change individual file names, but is there a way to change a batch of files (probably 500 or so)? To do them one by one would take for ever!

I think the easiest way to do this is to move all the files back to drive E using Windows methods, so that they are in exactly the same folders they were in before and so PSE will reconnect the photo, and then using the PSE folder view, move them back to C. In the future, only move your photos using PSE methods, not Windows methods.
Warning: if you have PSE6 (which I do not have), there are some issues regarding using folder view, and you should do a search here to read about them, I'm not sure you can explain these issues.

How can I change the report file name depending on which seq file is run in the main seq?

I'm using TestStand 3.0.
I have a main sequence file with a menu option to select one of several sequence files to run.
How can I get TestStand to change report file name to the selected sequence file rather than the main sequence file name?
Thanks

Hi Harminder
Try RunState.Root.Locals.ReportFilePath = "PathToMyFile.xxx"

LSMW - Create Logical File Name so that the physical file name is automatic

Hello,
In LSMW, I do not want to create a logical file name for each project. I would like the logical file name to automatically assign the physical file to the *.lsmw.conv of the project being executed. Is there a way of doing that? If so, could someone share?
Regards, Dean.

not possible to create the logical file name to physical file name automatiically.
because the logical file name created like PROJECT name + SUB PROJECT name +OBJECT NAME .*.lsmw.conv
if you change the object name the file will be change....

Indesign CS4 "forgets" file name when saving as Postcript file.

Like the title says Indesign CS4 "forgets" file name when saving as Postcript file.
Example:
I open up indesign CS4 and open up a file called "test5". Then I go to the print menu and save it as a postscript file. Once the save as dialog box comes up it wont say "test5" but it uses whatever file name I used last time I created a PDF.
I want indesign to recognize that when I create a postscript file that I want it to be named the same way as my file that is open at that moment. Changing the file name every time is not bad when they are called "test5" etc but here at this company we use super long file names and it's a pain to change it every time.
Funny thing: Some machines here do it the way in the example but other machines will do it the correct way by using the same name in the save as box.
Any suggestions on how to fix this? If something is not clear just ask!

How about this - it's a workaround, I can't change ID or your system.
I'm big on EXACT filenames also, case and space sensative. Do a "Save As" before printing - the file name should be correct and highlighted, ctrl+c copy, escape/cancel the Save As. Paste in the filename during the Save as Postscript File.

Get file name/path of current .cfm file...

i am going to make a "tracking" script for a website. my idea is to add a <CFINCLUDE> to every .cfm file on the server (right at the end, so it would be easier to remove when im done), and have the script that is included add a record to a database that contains the file name/path of the .cfm file. for example, index.cfm will include trackscript.cfm, and after the index.cfm is processed, a database will have a record in it containing the file name/path for index.cfm.
i am new to coldfusion, but i think i have everything figured out, except how to get the name of the file that will be added to the database. is there some kind of function or variable available that will give me the filename of the currently executing .cfm file?

I don't think sticking a <cfinclude> call into every file is really a very good way of doing this.
You should have a look at using onRequestEnd() for this sort of thing.
There are various variables in the CGI scope which one can use to build the originating URL of the current request; CGI.script_name and CGI.query_string are probably the most helpful here. One can resolve the underlying file system path form a URL using expandPath().

How to not append '.PART' to the file name of the currently downloading file, and just download the file with its normal filename

In Windows, when Firefox (I'm currently using 7.0) downloads a file, it appends ''.PART'' to the file name of the currently downloading file and just renames it to its original file name after it finishes downloading.
I sometimes like to watch a currently downloading video file, so it will be better if Firefox just downloads the file to its actual filename (like what Opera does), so I can easily double click the incompletely downloaded file and watch it with the video player assigned to that file extension, rather than the awkward ''Right click -> Open With -> Choose Default Program'' route with .part files.
Does anyone know how to set Firefox to do this?

It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox and prevents Firefox from renaming the .part file.
Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.
See "Disable virus scanning in Firefox preferences - Windows"

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.
Jaison

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.

File name overwrites during Batch process

Mac, OSX, CS2. (and Windows CS2, CS3)
I've searched and read plenty of posts about this problem, but I don't see any solutions. Maybe a few workarounds. So, I'll try myself. This problem does not exist prior to CS2 for me.
I'm writing an action that involves opening a PDF, trimming, etc, then saving as a TIFF.
My result is one file, overwriting itself (with the contents of my source folder) with the name of the file I used to write the Action. I don't "touch" the file name in the "save as" dialog box, but of course I have to "save as", because I need a different file format than the source.
I've been using Actions/Batch/Droplets since they became available, maybe Photoshop 4. I just don't get this.
Thanks for your consideration.

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.

Changed file names, now can't update files

Help!!!! I switched the names of my files this morning to the domain name that I've purchased. Doing so, however, appears to prevent me from updating my pages. Now, when I click on Modify>Library>Update Page, I get a message that reads, "Error Acessing file... file not found (error code -43)" .
I *think* the problem is with the template name. The 60 pages that I first designed were built on the original template name, "2000." All of these pages continue to say "Templates/2000_template.dwt" at the top of the pages, as this snippet shows:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
.
I'm guessing that, because I have changed the name of the template (as well as the file it's stored in), the child pages will not recognize the new template and subsequently not allow me to update the page.
How do I get out of this fix? I can't change the template name on each page, as it's in a noneditable region. Do I have to backstep and rename all of my files to the original (and now incorrect) name I was working off of?
Thanks to anyone who can help.

I think that what you may have done is either change the filename for your template outside of Dreamweaver or you have broken the link to the template.
I do rename some templates on my websites to keep things neat, as sometimes I "inherit" websites that are poorly constructed. I have two that are entirely tables-based and they are five-fingered boogers (the kind you can't just flick off easily). These tend to come complete with clients who don't want to pay to have their websites redesigned. No extra charge for that option.
You can try doing a Modify>Templates>Apply Template to page for all of your pages and it might help a lot to automate that: Open a page that needs to be attached to your template, Go to Commands>Start Recording, pull down Modify>Templates>Apply Template and choose the template, stop your recording then pull down Commands>Play recorded command for each page you need to reattach the renamed template to.
Another cause here is that you may have inadvertently changed the path to the template. If you do renaming and moving from within Dreamweaver the links to templates are not supposed to break -- but sometimes this does happen.

How can i add a file name(the text of the file name) as a child node to existing node in a treeView1 ?

bool exists = false;
TreeNode newNodeParsed = null;
TreeNode rootNode = treeViewMS1.Nodes[0];
TreeNode nextNode = rootNode;
string f = Path.GetFileName(txtUploadFile.Text);
TreeNode subnode = new TreeNode(txtDir.Text);
TreeNode filename = new TreeNode(f);
if (!txtDir.Text.Contains("/"))
foreach (TreeNode node in rootNode.Nodes)
if (node.Text == txtDir.Text)
exists = true;
break;
if (exists == true)
subnode.Nodes.Add(f);
else
rootNode.Nodes.Add(subnode);
subnode.Nodes.Add(f);
The rootNode is the root directory in the treeView1
subnode is a node inside the root. For example the subnode name is manuelisback
I'm checking if the subnode exist i want to add the file for example (lightning1.jpg) to be under subnode.
If the subnode is not existing add the subnode to the root and then add the file name lightning1.jpg under the subnode.
But the file name is never added under the subnode:
I added manualy the lightning1.jpg under test.
But the lightning1.jpg also should be added to be under manuelisback. There should be two lightning1.jpg here.
One under manuelisback and one under test. The one under test i added manualy from my ftp server.
But the one i want to be under manuelisback i'm trying to add from my program and it dosen't add it to there.
And when i'm using a breakpoint i see on subnode the text manuelisback and i see on f the text lightning1.jpg

If I understand your question correctly, you might want to try changing:
if (!txtDir.Text.Contains("/"))
foreach (TreeNode node in rootNode.Nodes)
if (node.Text == txtDir.Text)
exists = true;
break;
if (exists == true)
subnode.Nodes.Add(f);
else
rootNode.Nodes.Add(subnode);
subnode.Nodes.Add(f);
to something like:
if (!txtDir.Text.Contains("/"))
foreach (TreeNode node in rootNode.Nodes)
if (node.Text == txtDir.Text)
subnode = node;
exists = true;
break;
if (exists == true)
subnode.Nodes.Add(f);
else
rootNode.Nodes.Add(subnode);
subnode.Nodes.Add(f);
rootNode.Nodes.Add(f);

When downloading a file, only the first word of the attached file is included in the 'file name' field, not the entire file name, as it used to.

Regardless of filetype, only the first word of the file is filled into the "Enter name of file to save to..." dialog box. I'm set up to 'save file' in the FF Options > Applications tab for the basic MS and Adobe files. To successfully use/find the downloaded file, I type in the remainder of the file name. Have I overlooked an additional setting? Running FF 18.0 on a Win7 PC.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
