Changing the file name in the iPhoto Library

I just recently converted from a pc to a iMac, which is very cool, however the pc file names are only unique inside an Event.
Is there a utility that I can run to give each photo in iPhoto a unique file name?

You can only change the actual file name if you export the file out of iPhoto with the option to use the title as the new file name.
Happy Holidays
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 hide the file name (the bizarre number assigned by the camera) when exporting an image version in aperture from an album. Pl understand I want to keep the file name in the project library version.

how to hide the file name (the bizarre number assigned by the camera) when exporting an image version in aperture from an album. Pl understand I want to keep the file name in the project library version.

Within Aperture you have Images, which are constructed on-the-fly from two files (the Master and the Version). You get an image-format file _only_ when you export an Image. You select the file name (usually a scheme) when you create an image-format file (that is, when you export). Look under "Aperture→Presets→File Naming" for built-in Presets. You can, of course, create your own or customize any provided.
The Preset is applied to only the file newly created by your "export" command. It is not applied to the Image in Aperture (unless you rename your Versions or your Masters).

Should the web page address be included in the file name in the meta data dialog box?

In the page properties > meta data > below is a field with the label file name: (the the area to type in the field), after the field, it is labeled .html.
I have 2 questions here.
1. If I type in http//:www (my page url), do I include .html at the end? I didn't know if this is automatically added because it is off to the side of the field?
2. If I type in the entire URL address: http//:www (etc, etc).html, after closing the page properties dialog box, I make it a habit to double check my work. What happens is the http//:www.xxx changes to (htttpwww.xxx). It drops the //: on the URL.
So would it be better to just type in www.xxx (without the http//:www.xxx)
and do you type in the .html at the end?
I am assuming this will help with SEO page ranking or at least makes it easier for the search engines to crawl your site??
I hope this makes sense.
Advise would be very helpful.
Ben

You are absolutely correct with the URL Ben. Taking your above example, you just need to type in "Services" in the file name and the webpage will be exported as services.html and the URl will be www.xyz.com/services.html.
All the webpages (be it parent page or child page) gets physically saved at the root directory of your website on the server (where your website resides).
This name is just the name of the file using which it is physically stored and called from the server. It does not help search Engines to crawl deeper inside the website.
As I explained, "name which you wants the .html file to be stored with" here means the name of the physical file which is getting saved on the server.
Most users leave the file name same as Page name. If you have it different from page name then this will be the workflow :
Page Name : About
File Name : test
domain : www.mysite.com
Now if you are using a Menu Widget, it will list "About" in the Menu. And when end user will click on "About" then it will call the file named "test.html" from the server location (where all the files of your website are stored).
And it will open a page with address "www.mysite.com/test.html"
Hope I am able to explain the concept of File Name here. Please let us know if you have further queries on this.

How to obtain the file name of the cached file

Hi All,
I am using JMF to play a MP3 file from an HTTP link and I need to know the file name of the locally cached file. I found that I can obtain the cache directory using Manager.getCacheDirectory() and I can see the cached file there but its file name is changed.

I once had a similar task for creating a webpage that I only use on my computer--a webpage that accesses PDF's and SWF's font previews from a list of fonts as "a href's". What you must do is utilize the power of the command line, whether on a Mac on a PC or on Linux, Linux being the most powerful (although Mac IS Unix). You must utilize variables, variable replacement, and then a command to print out the results of a "for" or "while" loop to a text file which will be your HTML file with each individual link automatically built into the HTML code. You will have a list of 50 links. If you are simply looking for a GOOGLE type functionality where you click on "Next" and "Previous" you will have to dig deeper into variable replacement--this I don't know how to do yet but there are books for command-line shell interpreters. One shell interpreter is called "bash" (born-again shell) and there is a book on the market which gives a detailed example of how to replace variables in a shell script. Again, I don't know how it works. I will try to learn this at a later time when I am more seasoned with the basics of shell scripting.

In mini bridge, is it possible to view the file name and the rating at the same time?

Hello,
In mini bridge, is it possible to view the file name and the rating at the same time?
Thank you.

if you know when a new image arrives and you can retrieve that new image file name ...
Well, that's precisely my doubt, how can I know the file name? Is there a property/method for it?
function loadImages() {
for (var i:int=0; i<imagesNames.length; i++) {
var imgLoader:Loader=new Loader;
imgLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,imgLoaded);
imgLoader.load(new URLRequest(imgPath + imagesNames[i]));
function imgLoaded(par:Event):void {
trace(par.target,par.target.content,par.target.content.name);
Output window:
[object LoaderInfo] [object Bitmap] instance160
[object LoaderInfo] [object Bitmap] instance159
[object LoaderInfo] [object Bitmap] instance161

Does anyone know how to use pages so you can export pdfs from the internet and automatically drag words from the document into the file name of the pdf (i.e., author, title of a scientific paper)

Does anyone know how to use pages so you can export pdfs from the internet and automatically drag words from the document into the file name of the pdf (i.e., author, title of a scientific paper). For example, if I am downloading a paper by smith called "Surgery" that was published in 2002, it will automatically set the file name in the download to smith- surgery 2002. I have heard pages is smart enough to do this.
thank you

Pages can export only its own documents. They may be exported as PDF, MS Word, RTF or Text files.
Pages can import (ie. Open a file as, or Insert a file into, a Pages document) documents in several formats, but won't rename the document as you describe. Documents that can be Opened (eg. Text, AppleWorks 6 WP, MS Word files) are converted to Pages documents, and retain their original names, with .pages replacing the original file extension. Files that can be Inserted (generally .jpg, .pdf and other image files) become part of the existing Pages file and lose their names.
It may be possible, using AppleScript, to extract the text you want and to Save a Pages file using that text as the filename, but that would depend in part on being able to identify which text is wanted and which is not.
How will the script determine where the author's name begins and where it ends?
How will the script recognize the beginning and of the title, an decide how much of the title to use in the filename?
How will the script recognize the year of publication?
For papers published in a specific journal, with a strict format for placing each of these pieces on information, or containing the needed information as searchable meta data in the file, this might be possible. But it would require knowledge of the structure of these files, and would probably handle only papers published in a specific journal or set of journals.
Outside my field of knowledge, but there are some talented scripters around here who might want to take a closer look.
Best of luck.

Barry

How to find the File name using the FTP Adapter

hi all,
how to find the File name using the FTP Adapter with BPEL.
Regards

Found the solution for this.
First In the mediator's routing rule use assign property $in.property.jca.file.FileName to $out.property.jca.file.FileName
In the BPEL's receive activity go to the properties tab and get the property to a BPEL variable. That should do it.
Thanks for the posts

Not to display the file name in the browser bar.

Hello,
Merry Christmas to all,
Is it possible not to display the file name in the browser bar?
Like say, when we write www.rediff.com, the index page name is not displayed.
Likewise is it possible for any other page too.
What I want is not to display any of the page name for the whole application.
Whichever page is requested the page name should not appear in the address bar of the browser.
How will I do that, what logics should I apply?
Please suggest,
Thanks,

first, what does this have to do with Java?
second, no; in order to display something, the browser needs to know where it is. and if it knows, then a user can find out too. maybe you can make it not show up in an address bar sometimes, but that really achieves nothing

Parametricizing the file name in the jsp directive %@ include file=

Is there any way to parametricize the file name in the above directive. Am not too keen on using
<jsp:include ..
because of performance issues and also i am only including a static HTML issues.
Any responses would be appreciated?

Nope.
The <%@ include %> occurs at the time of translating/compiling the jsp into a servlet. It thus cannot accept any runtime parameters.
Are the performance issues of using <jsp:include> that large?

Previously Firefox would show a number at the end of the file name (renaming the file by adding a number) showing that I had already downloaded a file at least once before. Recently that isn't happening. How do I get that feature back?

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"

How can I edit the file name of the home page?

How can I edit the file name of the home page?
Gr Ammani

I have a similar issue with regards to the filename...
When I navigate to my website, it doesnt work unless I actually type the filename at the end of it. Example: type in "www.whitelion.com" (this is my real domain name) and it doesnt work. When I type in "www.whitelion.com/index.html" then it works.
This is obviously inconvenient because my clients will never know to add the filename to the end of the site.
Is there any setting or way to get the page to appear by just typing the original domain name without adding the extension?
Thanks,
Emelia

Can you get the file name of the current executing TSQL script?

Can you get the file name of the current executing TSQL script? I wrote entries to a generic log file and would like to include the script name.

Okay, So What you can do is
1. Read get the version from your database and redirect it to a text file(SQLCMD outout can be directed to text file using -o option or windows redirection operator >)
2. Now you can read this value from the text file either inside a batch file or a powershell script and decide what operations you can do.

You may be confused by the error in Excel saying “another user”. Actually Excel cannot tell who (the real human) is editing the file. Based on my research the No.1 possibility of the error is KB2626998.
2626998 Connection to a network document is lost in the 2007 Office system or in Office 2010 after the computer resumes from standby
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2626998
For Excel 2010, follow these steps:
a. Click Start , click Run , type regedit in the Open box, and then click OK .
b. Locate and then select the following registry subkey: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Excel\Options
c. On the Edit menu, point to New , and then click Dword Value .
d. Type NetworkAvailableTimeInSeconds , and then press Enter.
e. Right-click NetworkAvailableTimeInSeconds , and then click Modify .
f. In the Value data box, click Decimal , type a number value, and then click OK .
Note This registry subkey sets the time, in seconds, that Excel waits for the network to resume. For example, if you type 15 for the number value, Excel waits 15 seconds for the network to resume. You might have to do some tests in your own environment to
determine an appropriate value. You may have to try multiple numbers.
g. Locate and then select the following registry subkey.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\office\14.0\common\Internet
h. Repeat step 2C through step 2F again. Reuse the same value that you used previously.
i. Exit Registry Editor.
Feel free to post back. Thanks.
Cheers,

What is the file name of the thunderbolt driver?

Does anybody know the file name of the thunderbolt driver that will allow me to access a thunderbolt drive from Windows? The BIOS see's the Promise controller/drive, but device manager doesn't see it. The boot camp support files from Apple are not installing automatically - it fails with no specific error except try again. I'd like to try and load the thunderbolt driver manually. Does anybody know the file name and folder this driver would be in?
Thanks.
