Changing Filenames within a Project

I need to know how to change the File Names within a project. I know how to change them on import and export, but I need to rename my files that are already in a project. How do I do that?
Kevin Hawkins

Just remember that the batch change does not change the actual file names on your hard drive. It changes the version names in Aperture. However, here is how I work around it:
1) After a shoot, I import my photos into the Aperture library.
2) Then I edit and rename them. The renaming is done by selecing all of the images, then going to METADATA>BATCH CHANGE
3) Then I relocate them from inside the Aperture library to my photo hard drive (FILE>RELOCATE MASTERS). In the dialog box for this process, be sure to select "Version Name" for the Name Format.
Once you relocate your masters using this method, the file names on your hard drive will be changed and match the names in Aperture.

Change Build Output Filename for SSIS Project

I have a Visual Studio 2010 solution (TxMExtractLoad) with two SSIS projects: TxMExtractLoad.Discovery and TxMExtractLoad.Contract1. The project name (in project properties) is set to the proper two-part name in each project. However, when I
do a "Build", the generated .ispac file loses the second part of the project name: both projects build to "TxMExtractLoad.ispac" (in different directories, fortunately).
I can see where I can change the output *path* for the build, but not the output *filename*.
Any help, anyone?
Thanks in advance...

Came across this post whilst encountering the same issue and thought i would post the solution i discovered
The ispac will get its name from the Name defined in the project properties minus whatever is following the final name part
Therefore, your SSIS package of TxMExtractLoad.Discovery will become TxMExtractLoad.ispac
If you change the name in project properties to something like TxMExtractLoad.Discovery.myProject
or TxMExtractLoad.Discovery..ispac then when you build it it will build as TxMExtractLoad.Discovery.ispac
Hope this helps

Changing an album within a project book

How do I change to a different album within a project. I am making a photo book with iPhoto and it loaded an album that I wanted to work with. However, there are albums that have photos I wanted added to this project. I have tried dragging and dropping and that didn't work, I have tried double clicking and that didn't work, all it did was open the album in iPhoto, not on the project book "timeline" of photos to choose from.
CLaire

I have a project with 40 images and a second project with 85 images; how can I create an album in the first project
To create an album in the first project, select the project in Library view and use the command "File > New > Album".
If you create an album, you can drag images from any project to it - so the album can hold images from both your projects. But if you want to keep the images from the second project in the album, you must not delete the second project. Each image needs to reside in exactly one project. Albums only use images, they don't store them. See Kirby Krieger's excellent User Tip on the mysteries of albums and projects:
The Well-Trod Path: a Beginner's Guide to how Aperture's major parts inter-relate
If you want to delete the second project, but keep the images in your library and use them in an album, drag the images from the second project to another project. And only then delete the second project, if you do not need it.

Can I change Filename from within Lightroom?

I am in the Trial Period with Lightroom, having just used it for two days. I assume that one must be able to change a photo's filename from within Lightroom, but I surely can't see how to do it, having looked in the Help file and through all the menus.
Here's what I'm trying to do. When I take photos, I create a descriptive filename that tells me what's in the image. Then I import a big batch. What I want to do is to create slideshows from those images in a different order from the importing order: maybe it's slide 23, then 15, then 10, etc. I was hoping to do this by sticking sort numbers on the front of the filenames (changing the filenames), and then sorting on the filenames to create the desired slideshow sequence.
But, I can't find a way to change the filename within LR. If I do it outside LR, then I lose whatever work I've already done on the images.
Am I overlooking some obvious better way to do this?
Thanks
Bob Chapman
I'm running LR 1.2, Windows XP, 2 GB RAM, big disks.

Even easier, select the image or images and press F2 to rename. <[email protected]> wrote in message news:[email protected].. > Hi Bob, > > To change the filename for an individual file select the file from grid > view and look over at the Metadata panel on the right side of the screen. > Click on the filename in the metadata panel and it should change > appearance to show that it can now be edited.

How to view long file names and sort files within folders/projects?

Hello, like so many people here, I am a new mac user, but certainly not computer illiterate. I have been a professional photographer for 10 years and recently change to mac and have been slowly trying to adapt my work flow accordingly.
However I have become increasingly frustrated with Aperture 3 and after reading posts here it looks like I am certainly not the only person. While in my case I am sure it is because of my inexperience with mac systems so any guidance or assistance is much appreciated.
Hopefully my questions are simple. I have been importing my images and re-naming images as I do so. A very simple combination of date, custom name, and counter. However, when I look at the images once the import has completed, they are not in any logical order within the 'project'. I have tried to sort them by file name, orientation, file size, etc, both ascending and descending, but they will not list in the correct order. eg the file '2010-03-09 Lyon France 001', continually falls between '2010-03-09 Lyon France 022' and '....021'.
This has also lead me to a further question. While my file names can generally be read when the image is a landscape format, on the portrait images the file name it too long for me to read the whole name, and I can not find anyway to read the file name, eg browser, split screen, viewer, or full screen.
Im sorry for all the details, and I am sure it is just my lack of experience, so appreciate your help.
PS. On a separate note, I notice on another thread from the frustrated user 'ultratechy' that he got a reply from Tony who stated 'Also after installing any application you should always run disk utility and repair permissions....' Now as I am completely new to mac, I had no idea about this. Any other tips that I should always be aware of? Thanks again.

Thanks for your reply Calx. If it makes you feel better, I am actually a New South Welshman - just living in the sunshine state!
You are correct, I am trying to get my head around a new way of working and thinking, but I suppose it will all become clearer as time goes by. I have re-visited the manual many times, and been doing loads of research online, but just trying to put it all into practice now, so any tips or advice is always appreciated.
At the moment, I am just working with a small part of my library until I do get my head around things before moving onto the bulk of my images. I have my images stored and backed up on multiple external hard drives. I am trying to import my images into aperture from an external drive as I have been slack over the years with keywording, metadata, organising, etc etc, so I figure from what I have read that aperture may assist me with making these time consuming tasks a bit quicker and easier.
I have put a bit of thought into my filing structure, but I am sure that with further use and understanding, this may change in the future, but I hope not. To give you an example of how I am thinking and working - I have used folders for my regular clients, eg, Ray White, and then made another level of folders within 'Ray White' for the date, and then in each 'date folder' I place my projects and name them with the address of the property I have photographed. I select and edit images from each project and place them in albums under each project. Not sure if this is the most perfect structure, but any advice is welcome.
Keywords is always an issue with me. Over the years I have compiled a number of list for each client and each 'type' of photography. For example, real estate images have there own list, I just simply manually add keywords for specific jobs, eg the address and any specific location or features.
Again, advice and guidance always welcome and I would appreciate how you go about these topics? And maybe you can help explain something that I have pre-emted may be a problem, and it may happen when I move onto my larger library, and I am not sure how to explain this as it may show my lack of management previously. When I worked on my PC, I used PS4, Adobe Bridge and Camera RAW pretty much exclusively. For my landscape images for example, I might have 2 or 3 variations of the one images, eg, black and white, sepia, and color for instance. But the file name remained the same, I just stored them in different folders indicating what version of the image was stored there. Now I am thinking that when I import images in Aperture, I will come across difficulties because Aperture will think the I am importing duplicate images because I will in fact have 3 images with the same file name, even though the adjustments I have made to them are different. Is this the case? Will I have to make adjustments again? Will I have to change the name of the files prior to importing? If so, any advice or tips?
Well, I should stop there. Im sorry to bombard you with some much text, but as mentioned, I am new, and finding my feet, so thanks for your time.

Change Management integration with Project Administration

Hi,
Could someone help me understand the integration of Change Management and Project Administration within Solution Manager, pls? I would be very grateful for a sample process to demonstrate the complete workflow. Eg.
1) Support Messages is created
2) Change Request is created from Support Message
3) A project is created for the Change Request
4) ??? What about the blueprint, configuration, testing, learning features? How do they integrate with CHARM?
x) at the end, how does the project created for the Change Request integrate with the project that documents the business process? I mean, if the actual processes of an R/3 system are documented in a SolMan project, and a Change Request is processed, how do I modify the general project with the change project?
This is absolutely not clear either in the on-line help or in the book "SAP Solution Manager"
Thanks in advance,
Adam

I am not quite clear what exactly is your requirement here. Change Request Management and Project management are different in their ways. You can handle the documenation tasks through your project management and ChaRM is used for the changes.

Why doesn't iDVD burn changes made within iMovie?

I have iMovie 6.0.3 and iDVD 6.0.3 and have made several movies and DVDs over the past few years. But now have hit something very frustrating....
1) I've just completed a movie in iMovie. Took it to iDVD, created menus etc. then burned it to a DVD-RW. Noticed a couple of changes I wanted to make, namely a soundtrack volume adjustment, and a subtitle change (within iMovie). Made the changes in iMovie.
2) When I opened iDVD again, it said it noticed some changes in the iMovie project and would I accept them. Answered yes. When I reviewed these changes in iDVD preview, all was well. It showed the new subtitle.
3) Did another burn (3-4 hour process, mostly encoding) to disk image. Lo and behold, this new movie still showed the OLD subtitle!!
4) Deleted this disk image file. Checked the iDVD preview again, and it showed the corrected subtitle. Created a NEW disk image (for the THIRD time!) and four hours later discover that the OLD subtitle is still there!!!
What the heck is going on?? iMovie file was modified, resulting iDVD project file reflected the change, but the "burn" result does NOT reflect the change!!!! Why is iDVD Burn sill picking up the old version of my movie?____
Thanks-

You're right. Only selecting Advanced>Delete Encoded Assets did the trick. Otherwise, even though iDVD recognizes that the iMovie file had changed, it doesn't necessarily "pick up" all the changes ....unless you Delete Encoded Assets.
I don't know which changes iDVD does or doesn't pick up, but in future I will always Delete Assets to be sure. Saves lots of time in the long run.
THANKS for your help!!
P.S. I did not have background encoding enabled. Never do.

Can we call an ODI package from another ODI package within same Project?

hi All,
Can we call an ODI package from another ODI package within same Project?

What you can do is get all the interfaces on the old package that you want to be included in the new package. This way, the new package will have the exact code from the old package.Or generate a scenario out of your ("old") package and drag&drop the scenario in the "new" package.
That seems easier to me, because you can re-use the scenario as often as you want.
But you have to take care: If you change your original ("old") package, you have to regenerate the scenario, otherwise the changes do not affect the scenario.

SEARCH function in Adobe Captivate 8 so that the user can search key words within a project?

Hi, I am wondering if there is a way to implement a SEARCH function in Adobe Captivate 8 so that the user can search key words within a project?

Hello again
Click the slide in the film strip, then examine the properties. You name the slide in the properties. And once you name it, the name should appear below the slide in the film strip, Then when you choose to enable the TOC, what you have there pulls in as shown below:
If you have already constructed your TOC and wish to change this later, repeat the steps of naming the slides. Then click the Reset TOC icon just above the Settings button in the TOC section of the Skin editor to pull in the new names.
Cheers... Rick

Launching SWF file within the project - Video Avatar and Calculator

Hi There, I am somewhat new to Captivate so please bear with me. I am using Captivate 6.0 and have basic coding knowledge. I have a question about how to launch SWF files within my project. There are 2 things I am trying to accomplish.
1. I have a video avatar that I want to use within my project. When a user clicks an icon or button on certain screens I want the appropriate video to launch within the same window. My video is an swf file but it can be another file type if that is better. Is this something that I can accomplish with Captivate 6.0?
2. I have built a basic flash calculator - also an swf file - that I want the user to be able to launch on certain screens. When the user clicks a calculator button, the calculator would launch for the user to use, then the user would be able to close the calculator and return to the screen they were on.
Could someone direct me to some resources on how to accomplish this? If there are any widgets that would make this easier that would be great - but if I need to write some code I can try and do this if someone can direct down the right road. I have spent hours looking for information on this topic but can't find any (at least any that I understand)
Please, and thank you!!!

Rory,
Your Video is 720 x 480 @ 1.212 PAR, according to your screen-cap. In Photoshop (PS), go to Image New (Ctrl+N) and choose the NTSC 720 x 480 Widescreen 16:9 PAR 1.2. Once done, choose Image>PAR and Custiom, change 1.2 to 1.212 (this was a change in PrPro, and might not have yet made it into PS yet). Now, Open your full rez image. Ctrl+A (Select All), Ctrl+C (Copy), and then bring focus to your New Image. Hold Shift and Ctrl+V (Paste). This will put your image on a New Layer, Layer 1, in an Image with the correct dimensions and PAR. You can the Ctrl+T (Free Transform) and adjust the size of your Layer 1 image to suit. Holding down Shift while dragging the Handles of the Bounding Box will constrain the Aspect Ratio. Note, you might be cropping some of that image to fit the Aspect Ratio of your New Image. Anything outside of the Image boundries will effectly be cropped off. Note: you are NOT using the Crop Tool here, but letting the New Image Aspect Ratio effectively do the cropping (note no capitalization) for you. When satisfied with the result, you Delete the Background Layer (not necessary, but I do this to clean things up a bit), and Save_As .PSD to the proper folder.
With Scale to Fit turned OFF, Import_As Footage, this image and drag to the Timeline, making sure that Scale to Fit is OFF. It should be perfect then. Hope that this works for you and gets rid of the problem.
Good luck,
Hunt

Changing filename in configuration

hi there,
my question is can we change filename of a file in the configuration without using IR(that means no mapping was done)? the scenario is a simple file to file , the only problem is that the filename must be changed.
is it possible to do this without using a udf(dynamic configuration)?
thanks.
ali

thanks abhishek and srnivas .
however in my scenario the sender channel is picking 3 different files that is three files with different names. if i do as you stated, srinivas, all the output files will have the same name, rite?
e.g
file1.csv ---> file1.csv
file2.csv -
> file.csv
file3.csv -
> file3.csv
as it can noticed onlyfile2.csv must be changed to file.csv. is it possible to do the above in the configuration itself without using an UDF?
thanks

I have photos that are rotated within a photo stream created from a project even though the photo displays properly within the project. How can I get the photos to have the proper rotation within the photo stream?

I have a photo stream that was created from a subset of photo from a rather large Aperature project. Some of the photos show up rotated within the photo stream but are not rotated within the project. Why is this happening and how do I fix the rotation within the photo stream? I do have the latest version of Aperature and have all of the necessary updates applied to my devices used to view the photo stream. The photos do show up rotated within the photo stream segment of Aperature, so I am sure it is not an issue with the output device (iPad and Apple TV). I do know that I cannot edit photos within a photo stream, but no amount of editing within the project allows the photos to be properly rotated within the photo stream. All help would be greatly appreciated.

That will work, but it is the long way 'round.
As Frank noted, Book Albums are just specialized Albums. Albums can show any Image in your Library, regardless of where the Album is located on the Library Inspector, and regardless of which Project contains the Image. You can put your Albums anywhere (in a Folder called "Books" for example). You can put Images from anywhere in your Library in any Album.
The easy way 'round:
- Make a new Book Album
- Select Images you may want to put in your Book. Flag them.
- Select some more. Flag them.
- Go to the "Flagged" container (listed near the top of the Library Inspector), select all, and drag-and-drop them to your Book Album.
- Repeat as needed, or just drag-and-drop directly into the Book Album.
Note that you can remove any Image from any Album (including Books) by selecting and hitting the "{Delete}" key. This _does not remove the Image from the Project that contains it, or from the Library.
Note, too, that once the Images are in your Book Album, you then put them in the Book you are creating for publication. The Book Album contains the superset of Images with which you populate the Book itself. The Book Album also holds the Book.
A good (imho ) introduction to the parts of Aperture can be found in this short guide I wrote.
The User Manual is helpful. Here is
the chapter on making Books.
From that chapter, here is
the section detailing how to create and populate a Book Album.

I can no longer drag photos in Aperture (within a project, between projects

I find that suddenly I cannot drag photos in Aperture. In other words, I cannot MOVE a photo at all, whether within a project or between projects and albums, &c. Not only this, but I cannot copy & paste either. I can still export photos, though.
I noticed this first a couple of hours ago when attempting to attach a photo into an email using the Mail application. It wouldn't budge. I thought it might have been a problem with the Mail program but no, it appears to be in Aperture because I then tried to drag the photo directly from Aperture into the email (which I've been doing for years).
I've done a rebuild and all that, yet the problem remains.
Any suggestions as to what I might do other than export the whole library to Lightroom and start learning all over again?

Can you confirm:
- that this is true for many Images? Try different Images in several Projects. If possible, try with an Image you had been able to drag-and-drop into Mail in the past.
- that you can't drag from a Project to an Album.
- that the Image you can't drag-and-drop has a Preview? ("Photos➞Update Preview")
What do you mean us to understand with the "and all that" part of "I've done a rebuild and all that, yet the problem remains"?

Changing frames within a symbol

Can anyone tell me how to change frames within a symbol, by using a button in the actuall stage. Every time I try searching for it, I get lost in half compleated answers, action script 2, and things that throw a ton of code and words and stuff at me, but never explain the parts of it. (Often also has losts of additional code that I probally don't need)
I've got the button, but I need the function.

I can see from your other posts you are familiar with coding a button, so... In your button event handler function you would use something like...
symbolName.gotoAndStop(someFrame);
where symbolName is whatever instance name you assign to the movieclip symbol and someFrame is either a number or a label for the frame you want to change to.
