Changing Photo Name

I find it hard to believe there is no way to change the name of a photo once it is imported into iWeb. But so far, I cannot find a way. I do not see this as a problem on the web page itself, but if someone downloads the photo, they'll get the original name. A few of which are embarrassing.
How can I change the photo name besides starting all over?

Yes,
You need to run the script right after each time you publish to folder.
The script will look for photo page(s) in the published folder and apply photo captions to the published photo file names, and re-link the new photo names in the .js file (this is for the slideshow).
There is one thing though, I wrote the script to pad out any spaces in the captions with underscore.
Example: caption: "Twisted tree 1" , the script will name the file to "Twistedtree1.jpg" . The reason is that many FTP servers don't like spaces in file name.
You can get there script here: iWeb Photos Rename
I will post in another thread for this fix.

  • Changing photo name after downloading

    I downloaded a group of photos to my computer and wanted to rename each photo. When I attempted to do so, I received a message saying "changing file name extension may make file unusable". When I did it, the photo disappeared. Why can I not change the name? I have done so in the past with no problem using a different camera.

    Hi Nancy,
    Are you trying to Rename the files using Photoshop Album Starter Edition or simply from Windows Explorer. In either case, you should rename only the file name and leave the extension as it is. For example, if your file name is "file1.jpg" you should only change 'file1' and leave ".jpg" as it is. Otherwise, Windows will not be able to recognize the file as a picture file.

  • Batch Changing Photo Names and E-mailing them

    Hi
    I batch change my photos names in Iphoto to text (I think it is.) So I can date or name events. However when I e-mail the photos to a friend, he receives them with the original numbers that my digital camera had assigned to them.
    When I look back to my sent mail folder, the photos are how I had re-named them with the batch change.
    I don't get it, can I get some help here as to how I can e-mail photos and have them arrive with their modified names.
    Thanks

    T. Rod:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You will have to export those photos to a folder on the Desktop with the option to use the Title as the new file name. Then add them to the email. That's the only way to get files with the title as the file name.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • How to change the name of a moments in photos app in iOS 7?

    Please tell me can i change the name of a moment in photos app in iOS 7. If yes then please tell me how?

    I think you can't change the name I the moments. It's grouped by the iOS. You can choose photos and create albums though.

  • Is it  possible to change the name of a photo in one album without changing the name in other albums?

    I use the photos in events to create more than one album and I want to use a unique name in each album. When I change the name in one album, all instances of the photo also change.

    Correct. Albums just reference the photos in an Event - it's why a pic can be in 50 albums and use no extra disk space. So, change one and you change all. The alternative is to duplicate the pic in the Event.

    I just created a new iPhoto library with holding the option key down and then opening iPhoto with version 7.1.5.  I changed the name of the first library to iPhoto library 1 and now I all my photos are gone.  My operating system is Mavericks.

    launch iPhoto wile holding down the option key and select the original library - when you create a new library of course it is empty
    And you seriously need to backup your iPhoto library and purchase and install iPhoto '11 version 9.5.x from the App store and download and run the iPhoto library upgraded \then run the new iPhoto - 7.1.5 is not fully compatible with Mavericks

    PS you also need to update your profile - it states that you have OS X 10.6.8

  • 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.

  • How do I change the name of my hard drive which the photos and libraries are located on without having to relink and recreate folders for photos?

    When I have tried to change the name of my hard drive which my photos and catalog are stored on, when I try and access the new catalog in the new destination yet still same physical hard drive it unlinks all the photos and the folder structure.
    Any way to keep the photos or at least the year folders so as to more easily relink?

    In the Library module, in the Folders tab on the left, do a right-click "show parent" until you can see the root of the drive.
    From there, if you cannot rename the drive from there, then rename it in the OS finder/explorer. Then you just need to reconnect that one root directory or drive entry and Lightroom will do all the work for you.

  • How do I change the name of a photo in Photos for OS X?

    In Aperture and iPhoto there was a simple batch change function, which even allowed me to change the name of the original file, and add an index number to the end of the name if I wanted to use the same name for multiple images. I can't find the equivalent in Photos. Is it possible in a simple and easy fashion?

    Right click it, go to Properties and then change it there.

  • Changing a photo name after importing

    Can you tell me if it is now possible to change the 'original' name given to a photo once it has been assigned. I have stayed off iphoto because although it was possible to update the 'displayed' name in iphoto, the underlying name always stayed the same.This caused problems elsewhere. I have been using Picassa up to now becuase this did allow the underlying photo name to be updated. I know there is software out there that gets round this, but is the iphoto core product now capable ?

    I understand the point. The issue arises when (in my case) I use the 'media collector' on my HP Media Smart EX490. This collects any new files automatically and stores them in the file structure they have been placed in on the Mac. Because this works from the file name, you can get a mismatch between what is on the HP Media Smart and the photo name on the Mac. Not the end of the world I know, but, up to now, by using Picassa instead I have been able to change the file name to match the photo. This causes the media collector to re-collect the photo using the new file name, so everything stays in step. I am sure there must be other examples out there, so it may well be that if Apple added this function they would promote some switchers from Picasa to Iphoto. Thanks for your help anyway.

  • How do I change the name that appears on my comments on the photo streaming?

    When I first bought and configured my iphone 4, my husband used his name to create an apple account. I was able to change it most everywhere, but when I post a comment on a photo streaming it appears his name instead of mine. How do I fix it? When I log in, my name appears (at first it was his). The problem only seems to persist on the photostreaming. Thank you.

    Do this.

    Recently I noticed that when I change the name of a photo (correcting a mistake) it always goes back to the previous name, keeping the mistake I'm trying to correct. A spelling mistake, for example. As I keep my photos organized by name and not by date, this is very annoying.
    And today it won't even read my camera's sd card, and I try with 2 different ones. If I restart the computer, leaving the memory card in, then it reads it; but if I pull it out and push it back in it doesn't see it. Whath am I doing wrong, if anything?

    Where/how are you trying to change the name? If it is in Finder (after you've downloaded the pics to your desktop), highlight the pic icon and press Return. the name field will change and you can type in your new name. Hit Return again. That should make it "stick".  If you're trying to do it elsewhere, please post the steps that you've tried.
    As for your card: do you eject it properly? Either drag icon to trash or hit the eject symbol in the sidebar?

  • 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.

  • Can I Change the photo name generated by iPhone?

    When I copy my iPhone (4S) photos to my Windows PC they are named IMG_nnnn.jpg.  This is also the kind of name my Canon camera generates.  Messy!
    Is there a way to get the iPhone to use some name that does not start with "IMG_" ?  Or maybe get it to start using a number series starting at a much higher number?
    -- Larry
    PS: There does not seem to be a way to change the names that the Canon camera uses.
