Changing names of missing files

So I managed to have a fatal two disk crash and almost lost half of my catalogue. Luckily, I recovered one of the drives, but it renamed all of my files. I was using original file names (dumb mistake), and it seems there is no way to recover them. In the future I will be using YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS to keep things recoverable.
So at the moment I have recovered and renamed the files along those lines (YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS). What I want to do is rename the links in the catalogue to match as the files have that exif data, and then I think I can recover the files. Of course, Lightroom is throwing up roadblocks. I'd like to recover the photos with their edits, so is there a way to rename the files in the catalogue to match my new files?

I don't think there is a way to do it without applying SQL directly to the catalog (whilst not opened in (locked by) Lightroom).
If you want to pursue, look at the AgLibraryFile table in .lrcat file using an sqlite client app like SQLiteSpy.
A word of caution: YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS does not guarantee unique filenames, so you'll need some plan to handle bursts etc..

How to change name of home file on mac

Hi, not entirely sure of the name of this file. Currently it is "anthonycullinane" which is my fathers name, it was changed when my iMac was taken into an apple store for a service, i don't have a clue why it would've been changed but i'd like to change it back
if you look in the favourites bar in the finder window you'll see what i mean.
I've attempted to "unlock" the file to allow changes to be made but there is no option to rename the file. The text input is grey and doesn't allow change

You cannot rename your user account name easily. You need to do some extra steps and use the root user, so be very careful and make a backup of your files before modifying anything.
Then, follow these steps > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1428

Changing names for compressor files, nothing works yet.

I've read different posts on how people have to change the name of the file before compressor will complete any sort of compression.
Happened to me too constantly. So I'd just change the name once I got that red exclamation mark and then it would just finish compressing just fine.
This time I changed the name before I clicked submit.
The name of the file was Animal Control.
But before clicking submit I named it Animal Control Audio, and Animal Control Video for both files.
And I still got the stall out with the red exclamation mark.
This is no good since I feel like I can now no longer rely on Compressor if I need go go somewhere.
Thanks for any solution to my misunderstanding of the program.

I'm having a hard time understanding your question. When exactly are you getting the exclamation mark warning, before or after submitting?
If you're watching the History window in Compressor after submitting your encoding batch, then QMaster writes a file with the name you specified. In this case, when Compressor is still the front-most app, it will see that new file being written in your destination directory, and will put up the exclamation mark ... this is normal behavior.
Also, have you tried setting a different destination to see if this clears up whatever problem you're having?

Change name of .xml file.

Can anyone help me?
Being new to podcasing and not realising that I only need one xml file even for multiple episodes I gave my file a specific name relating to the subject of my first episode. Realising my mistake I would like to re-name the .xml file, is that possible now that iTunes have already accepted my podcast?

Sure, just copy your old file over to the new URL.
Then edit the "old" copy and cram this into it:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/store/podcaststechspecs.html#_Toc526931687
So when Apple visits the old one, they find the new one.
You can also do the fancy 301 redirect (not 302) if you know what that means, or want to figure it out. It's an HTTP response code in the HTTP protocol to note that a document has "permanently moved"

How to change name of uploaded file

I am using the a multi-part form and the pl/sql gateway to enable users to upload files to portal. The files automatically get stored in the wwdoc_document$ table. The key to the file is a column called "name" which consists of a sequence number and the file type e.g. 4747.gif.. I want to change this name to a different value.
When I change it using the standard sql Update statement, none of the pdk apis work on the record; they all return errors. I am able to change this value as long as I use a unique value, I just can't run any of the wwdoc apis against the row after that.
Does anyone know how to change this value for a given row???

Changing name of class file and it still working

I am simply trying to change the name of this class file i have named G3webcam.class
and i want to change it to webcam.class when i do this the applet does not work any more. If someone knows of a simple fix please help me.

Look at previous post...you cannot do this with a class file. The class loader will try to find G3webcam.class and cannot find it...so it will throws an exception.
In order to change, you need to the source code to all the classes of your application, including G3webcam. Then, you can rename the G3webcam.java to webcam.java. Change all the name of G3webcam in the source code to Webcam (including all source file tha use this class). The compile the application. Java compiler will then create the webcam.class file for you.
Unless you're an expert in reading the Java byte code, i don't see anyother way. (Reflection maybe?, but then, you will have to have the code inside your application to do that, which i doubt at this moment)
DJ Decompiler or any decompiler only decompiler the Java byte code to text...so you can read it in text. You can save it as webcam.class, but it will do nothing except make the application not running again.

How do you change name of the files before sending files to FTP site?

Hi guys,
my environment is SQL Server 2008 R2.
Currently, I'm trying to figure out how to tackle the following project:
I have over 100 files that I need to send via FTP on daily basis.
Before doing so, I must change the extension of the file to a specific characters stored in a sql server table, for example if the file name is Store1.txt the new name will be Store1.111
I was hoping that you guys can point me in the right directions :-)
Codernater

I would use a script task for renaming, Pass the data from the SQL table with the extension you want via a object variable to the script task iterate the files in the directory and rename as requried
this code and link would help you

Portal change name of upadated files

Hi,
when I update a file in a content area, Portal changes its name.
I update a file entering in edit mode, I click on "browse" and then I search the new file to upload.
If one (or both) of this two conditions:
- item level security
- item versioning (and checkout is made)
is enabled, Portal gives to file a new name, generally created adding "_0" or "_1" etc...
I'd like to leave ever the same file name. Is it possible to do? I don't want to disable anyone of two settings I've described above.
Please help me.
Thank you

Always look on http://portalcenter.oracle.com for any documentation related to Oracle Portal.

How to change name of downloaded file by URLLink.acsm

When I browser my URLLink.acsm:
"http://host:8080/fulfillment/URLLink.acsm?action=...."
it download a file named "URLLink.ascm". How can I change that file name to "title.acsm" insteed of "URLLink.ascm"?
For example: "ShakespearInLove.acsm".
I'm using ACS4 4.1
Many thanks,

Thanks for this thread !!!
...that Is a question I asked myself today as I used Adobe ADE for the first time.
(I hope they enhance it --- it is REALLY unpractical for reading eBooks).
When you open the URLLink.acsm file in a Text-Editor,
you will see a lot of tags inside < and >, like:
<fulfillmentToken>
<distributor>...</distributor>
<operatorURL>...</operatorURL>
<expiration>...</expiration>
<transaction>...</transaction>
<resourceItemInfo>
    <resource>...</resource>
    <resourceItem>1</resourceItem>
    <metadata>
      <dc:title>...</dc:title>
      <dc:creator>...</dc:creator>
      <dc:format>...</dc:format>
      <dc:publisher>...</dc:publisher>
      <thumbnailURL>...</thumbnailURL>
    </metadata>
    <src>...</src>
    <downloadType>simple</downloadType>
</resourceItemInfo>
<hmac>...</hmac>
</fulfillmentToken>
I tried to change the filename inside the <dc:title> tag.
However this is the filename on the server where you download your eBook.
Does anyone know an "<output-tag>" that lets the user determine the filename?
Or any other solution??
Strange that on the whole www this question has only been asked once...

Try with Dynamic Configuration UDF, in message mapping,then we can achieve this one easily.
String filename=XXX;
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
SimpleDateFormat dateformat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd");
String timestamp = dateformat.format(new Date());
String newfilename=fileName+timestamp+".dat";
// change to new file name
conf.put(key, newfilename);
return "";
some small changes required in above code, do it your slef,
if you dont know how to use Dynamic Configuration UDF search in SDN.

Using referenced files in Aperture and changing names of Master files

My Aperture library (masters) are stored on an external hard drive. The label for each image is simply the one that the camera supplied on the SD card. After importing the images into Aperture, I give them a more meaningful version name. Is there a way I can now add those version names to the masters stored on the external hard drive? (I would eliminate the numbers provided by the camera) Please give specific steps if this is possible. Thank you so very much!

You can change the name of the Master as it is imported into Aperture, have a look at the manual regarding Import Options:
http://documentation.apple.com/en/aperture/usermanual/index.html#chapter=4%26sec tion=6%26hash=apple_ref:doc:uid:Aperture-UserManual-91292IMP-SW8
For masters already added to your library you can rename them to match the version names, have a look at the manual regarding Renaming Master Image Files:

Ibooks changes name of pdf file

When I open a pdf file in ibooks it sometimes changes the name to a bunch of characters nothing like the name of the pdf file. how do I fix this?

Hi,
Saving the PDF to a set name is considered a security concern by Adobe. In order to achieve it you would need a trusted function, inside a JavaScript file. This .js file would be in a set folder on EVERYONE'S computer. This makes it difficult to deploy and maintain.
See a thread here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2266799#2266799.
Hope that helps,

How to change names of referenced files

Normally when I import RAW/JPEG pairs into Aperture I check the "rename original file" tick box so the original file names have my desired format (yyyy-mm-dd_myfilename-nnn). However, I inadvertently have imported a few projects with that box unchecked, so while the images in Aperture (and those I export) have my desired naming, the original referenced files still show as DSCF1234 etc.
Is there a way to change those original referenced frills to my date-name-index number scheme short of deleting the entire batch and performing a rename again - I have already dome various edits on them and don't want to lose those.

If you do not need to save the version names, yes. Batch change the version names and set the flag "Apply to original files".
Select all images that need renaming.
From the main menu bar select "Metadata >Batch Change"
Select a suitable preset for the file name you want in the Version name format drop-down menu.
Set "Add-Metadata From" to "None", unless you want to add metadata as well.
Press "O.K."
A caution: I have never tried this on "RAW&JPEG" pairs. You may have to do it twice, with each kind of original set as master. It is working well with JPEGS, but for RAW files "Apply to original" may not work.

File Adapter Module - Change name of Generated File

Hello all,
My customer has XI v3.0 SP9. For the moment an upgrade is not envisaged.
Since SP14 it is possible to dynamically change filename generated with receiver File adapter. This is done with a manipulation during mapping and a configuration in adapter.
As I am in SP9, is there another solution, by example using a module processor ?
My XML :
<root>
    <lineFile>....</lineFile>
    <lineFile>....</lineFile>
    <lineFile>....</lineFile>
    <filename>
</root>
Thanks a lot,
J.C.

Hi,
AFAIK - as far as I know
>>>>(Too much tests to do on other processes)
it's good this way the customer will learn the need for test tools
like mercury loadrunner - you can store all the tests inside
and when an upgreade comes just execute them...
customers always learn the hard way

CHANGE NAME OF A FILE

Hi to All

I process a file, this file is store in server aplication SAP, and going to be always. I open the file and process the information here stored.
But, I need mark this file, so that the next process, doesn´t consider this file.
¿How I do so that the program rename the file ??
Thanks by their aid

Dario

Programmatically you can rename the file on the applciation server, but you can copy it and into a new file name, and delete the one. Here is the an example.
report zrich_0001.
Parameters: d1 type localfile default '/usr/sap/TST/SYS/Data1.txt',
            d2 type localfile default '/usr/sap/TST/SYS/Data2.txt'.
data: itab type table of string.
data: wa type string.
start-of-selection.
* Read file
open dataset d1 for input in text mode.
if sy-subrc = 0.
    do.
      read dataset d1 into wa.
      if sy-subrc <> 0.
        exit.
      endif.
      append wa to itab.
    enddo.
endif.
close dataset d1.
* Copy to new file
open dataset d2 for output in text mode.
loop at itab into wa.
    transfer wa to d2.
endloop.
close dataset d2.
* Delete the first
delete dataset d1.
