Complicated file renaming in Bridge...need help

I am editing and exporting thousands of files in Photoshop at various sizes. Photoshop export adds sequential numbers to the file name which I now need to remove. I'm trying to use the Batch rename in Bridge but have not yet been able to configure the result I want. I need to maintain the first and last portion of the file name which varies from file to file. Example:
48x48-_0000_2b.png
48x48-_0001_2o.png
48x48-_0002_4g.png
I only need to remove the "_0000_" sequential portion in the middle. The last portion of the file name is a code which changes from file to file so I don't think renaming will work.
Can I do this is Bridge? I called support and they said it was not possible to remove a portion of the name, however I could rename the file using Tools > Photoshop > Batch. I run into the same problem where I don't see how to remove the sequential portion and keep my unique codes at the end.
Also, what is the difference between that and Tools > Batch rename?
Thanks if anyone can help or suggest another tool to accomplish this.
Katie

>Would be nice if that option was available in Bridge

  • Batch file renaming w bridge or ps

    Anyone know if I can use bridge or ps to batch rename photos to date and time they there taken?
    Maybe using a script and meta data?
    (raw or other file types)

    Bridge batch rename has this capability.  In batch rename panel New Filenames select Date Time, Date Created, then desired date and time formats.  You'll need to specify two New Filenames lines - one for date, another for time.  Batch rename will preview one new filename in the Preview area at the bottom of its dialog box, and you can click the Preview button to see how all the selected files will be renamed

  • Itunes wont open/ file icon on ipod- NEED HELP ASAP!

    My itunes will not open at all on my comp. I downloaded the newest version, then nothing would open. I removed all versions and attempted to re-install again. Now, my ipod will not turn on. There is a file icon with an exclamation point. I dont know waht to do and I am leaving for a long trip in a few days and need my ipod! any help asap would be greatly appreciated!

    OK-
    First, let's get your iTunes open.
    Click on Start, Click on Run
    Type msconfig
    Click on the startup tab (last one on the right)
    Click on "disable all"
    Click apply, then click close
    Go ahead and restart your computer when prompted to do so
    When your computer starts back up, you should be able to open up your iTunes. When it opens, close it again. Now that we know it is able to open, it needs to be closed in order to resolve the file folder with exclamation point error.
    Now, let's get that file folder issue resolved.
    Click start, click all programs, click iPod, click iPod updater, click iPod updater (again)
    Click OK when you see the dialogue that tells you what the application's capabilities are
    Connect your iPod when it tells you to
    Click on the "restore" button when it becomes available
    IF the restore button does not become available, and if the iPod updater fails to recognize the iPod, disconnect it. Reset the iPod by (making sure the hold switch is off) pressing the menu button and the select button at the same time for about 10 seconds, until you get the Apple logo. As soon as you get the Apple logo, hold down the select button and the play/pause button together until you get a check mark on the screen. You may have to try this several times to get it to work... and sometimes it helps to lay the iPod down on a hard flat surface, like a table or your computer desk.
    Once you get the iPod into disk mode, you can go ahead and try to restore it again. (Start > All Programs > iPod > iPod Updater > iPod Udpater) Click OK, Connect your iPod when it asks you to do so, and then click the restore button when it becomes available.

  • Import file to GUI! Need help!!!

    Hi everyone,
    I have a question regarding to "importing file". I will appreciate any help!
    I want to use text file in my program. What I need is "file path" to the file in computer so that i can read this text file to filter the necessary information to build
    objects that i need after that. The file path should be navigated through the file system by user.
    What i need is something like JFileChooser. But JFileChooser is too simple. It is very difficult to have extreme makeover.
    Is there anyway to just get input that is "file path" to text file without using JFileChoose. What I want is file path only and the user can navigate the file. Simple GUI is enough.
    Thank you very much!
    Edited by: atemu on May 3, 2009 4:43 AM

    The [JFileChooser tutorial|http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/filechooser.html] includes a working example of using your own icons for specific types of files. It ammounts to extending FileView and setting it on the JFileChooser via
    JFileChooser#setFileView(...);So that's what I did. And for the icons, I return the appropriate icon according to the installed FileSystemView.
    import javax.swing.filechooser.*;
    import javax.swing.JFileChooser;
    import javax.swing.Icon;
    import java.io.File;
    public class Tester {
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            final JFileChooser chooser = new JFileChooser();
            chooser.setFileView(new FileView() {
                FileSystemView systemView = chooser.getFileSystemView();
                @Override
                public Icon getIcon(File f) {
                    return systemView.getSystemIcon(f);
            chooser.showOpenDialog(null);
            System.exit(0);
    }

  • Renaming copied song *need help*

    I'm importing one song from a different place on my Mac, though I need an identical copy of it in iTunes, but with a different name. I drag the song in twice to iTunes for my 2 copies. I change the name of one, and it affects the other, so I can't get 2 different names. Any thoughts???
    Thanks,
    Jack

    To avoid unnecessary duplication, iTunes will not copy a File into the database twice. So what you have is two listings in the database pointing to the same file.
    So, make your duplicate in the Finder and rename it there, then copy it in.

  • Hidden files goof up? need help

    need a fix
    I used terminal to show my hidden files and (stupidly) I typed a ? instead of a / at the beginning of the command line. What did I do?
    I looked in the console log and saw the command
    sudo mv ?.hidden /.not-any-more
    Now, when I tried to reverse the command by typing
    sudo mv /.not-any-more /.hidden
    it said no such file or directory
    when I typed in sudo pico /.hidden the terminal had no folders listed
    I repaired permissions wondering if that would help. Then I restarted the computers to make sure it still worked and it does. Did I do something really bad? Can I fix it? Do I need to reinstall everything? Any help would be great. Usually I don't make such a mistake, but I bumped the darn shift key.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Matt,
    The .hidden file does not exist on a default installation of Tiger. Tiger will respect the .hidden file if you create one though it is not necessary to create one. You could set a Finder preferences to see all the hidden files with these two commands:
    defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles ON
    osascript -e 'tell application "Finder" to quit' -e 'delay 1' -e 'tell application "Finder" to launch'
    Replace ON with OFF in the first command and run the second command to turn off seeing the hidden files. If you want to explore a hidden directory it is as easy as issueing the command open:
    open /etc
    will open a Finder window showing all the files in the etc directory.

  • Lost company's files in reformat. Need Help.

    Note, I'm not a Tech person. I'm a graphic designer. We are very short-staffed and Tech was too busy to reformat so I went ahead and did it. The reformat was done as so:
    • Upgraded to Yosemite using the Apple ID of my boss.
    • No files on Mac Hard Drive. Company protocol is to use external HDDs. I only backed up desktop and downloads.
    • Did a reformat on restart, registered mac on my own Apple ID
    • Changed name of Mac
    The problem arose when I tried to access the files on the external hard drive. All of the files were there except for those of the user who was using the mac before me. His folder appeared as "NO NAME" and as an alias of only 738 KB. However the drive was still 912/1000GB used. So practically full.
    I have no idea what happened but my guesses are:
    Was the external drive already full so he was actually using the internal hard drive..
    Is the alias just some snafu that needs to be fixed in prefs..
    And my question is can this be fixed? We have essential files from that previous user. Thanks Mac Community. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

    You posted in the support forum for the Apple routers......these products:
    Can you help us understand how your question would involve one of these products?
    It appears that you have a question about Yosemite (10.10.1).  If that is the case, the place to post your question would be in the Yosemite support forum. The link is just below:

  • R3 to File with integration process- need help

    Hi all,
    Can you please help me with the steps involved for the following scenario:
    IDOC(R/3) to XI(integration mapping is done here) then to file.
    I have selected  an idoc (MATMAS).
    I have created a business systems (R/3)
    I want only few fields from R/3(MATMAS) to send to file. So, I do the mapping in integration process.
    In the config, I don't know how to link this thro' integration process.
    Can anyone please help me with the steps.
    I appreciate all your efforts.
    Thanks
    felix.

    Felix, I can think of the foll. steps, try it and let know if it helps
    1) One receiver determination parameters -> BS1(R/3) - sender service , MATMAS - sender interface , receiver system - Integration Process(this integration process you will 've to import from Integration repository)
    2) Now you will create an interface determination for the above receiver determination , ere you will specify the Abstract interface(referred to, in ur container object in receive step of IP). Interface Mapping is not reqd , since MATMAS is received as MATMAS ere without any change.
    3) second receiver determination parameters -> Integration Process - sender service , Abstract interface used in the send step of IP - sender interface , receiver system - Business system/service that has the file commn. channel configured
    4) Now you will create an interface determination for step 3, ere you will specify the Asynchronous inbound interface used by the file adapter & the mapping program to be used(optional)
    5) Now you will create a receiver agreement to associate ur async inbnd interface with the Commn channel(file adapter).

  • Transferring Ratings FROM FILE OR iPOD! Need Help!

    can anyone give me any info on transferring ratings!?? even a yes or no answer would be sufficient!! thanks in advance

  • Strange White Areas When Saving Photoshop File as a .pdf File ??? NEED HELP

    Using Photoshop CS5 -- I saved a Photoshop file I created as a .pdf file but some of the areas on the .pdf file (specifically, sections of text) do not have any of the color/fill information, they are just white (blank areas).  I've seen this before when converting other Photoshop files and could not find a work around.  I tried saving with various compression levels (max, high, med) and it makes no difference.  I’m not a techie or graphic designer, just an average Jane, so I need information and advice that I can understand and apply.  See attached image.  Thanks!

    That does sound a long way round.  The usual trick when layers don't do what you expect them to do, is to make a Copy Merged layer at the top of the stack.  Shift Alt Ctrl e (Shift Opt Cmd e). 
    I can see you have quite a few layers there, but you could problably track down the problem by Alt clicking each layer's Eye icon in turn to view them with everything else turned off.  When you find the culprit, Alt click it's Eye icon again to turn the other layers back on again.

  • Issues when opening files with pse9..need help

    i am helping a friend with her images that have been saved on a disc as a .psd file, she would like to use her pse9 to view them but when i go to open the file i get this message in pse9 stating "this document uses unsupported color mode..." and then asks me to convert rgb and then the image looses the color. i have looked online for everything i can think of and still can not find an answer. do i have to open with an older adobe photoshop in which i think that was what it was orginally saved with or am i doing something wrong...these images are very important to her and i dont know much about these programs..please any help or suggestions would be nice..
                                                      Thank you

    midnight24,
    In your initial post you stated that the files are .psd files.
    We learn now that they were created in an alien program. So be it.
    You state that you cannot open them due to ?corruption. Something about a video game, the relevance of which escapes me.
    Suggest that you do the following:
    Download Irfanview at www.irfanview.com. This is a free program which will probably open the files.
    If so, save them via Irfanview, and open the newly saved files in PSE. Do this with a test file to be sure that it works.
    Report back with your progress.
