Confirming Names in iPhoto

I have a lot of pictures (30,000+) and am going through confirming faces. Once the system identified the matches, can I just reject the ones that don't match and accept all others, instead of going through it one by one?

No. You have to accept the faces. You can accept or reject multiple choices at a time by: 1 - click and drag over those you want to accept which are grouped consecutively or together; 2 = Control-click on those you want to reject or Option-click and drag over grouped photos you want to reject.

Changing file name to iphoto title

Hi I understand that I can export a photo from iphoto with the iphoto title but I have over 6000 pics in iphoto. Is there a way to save the iphoto title as the file name without individually exporting then importing back into iphoto? The main reason I want to have the iphoto titles for all of these pics is to save the double, sometimes triple handling involved if I am looking for the pics in other places or trying to send large numbers of photos to others and they receive them as file names not iphoto titles when i email them (or I have to keep opening them to see what they are in other areas-like the picture library for instance)? Does apeture allow you to keep a title as a file name? I often download over 100 pics at a time from my camera directly into iphoto. The thumbnails allow me to edit information including title without individually opening each pic. If I don't import from my camera directly into iphoto what other options do i have that are not going to be time consuming? thanks

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Is there a way to save the iphoto title as the file name without individually exporting then importing back into iphoto?
No. iPhoto tracks the pics by their path on the HD and this would change the path. iPhoto will then lose the pics.

Anywhere you search for the pics you can search on Title, you don’t need to use Filename.
to send large numbers of photos to others and they receive them as file names not iphoto titles when i email them
If they are using any sort of Photo aware app to view them, they will see the titles.
or I have to keep opening them to see what they are in other areas-like the picture library for instance
But why would you be doing that? That’s what your Photo Manager is for.
If I don't import from my camera directly into iphoto what other options do i have that are not going to be time consuming?
Use Image Capture to move the pics from your Camera to the HD. Rename the files and then import them.
I really don’t think it’s necessary to actually rename the files. IF you can describe your workflow for searching or accessing the pics I think we might be able to suggest an alternative way to access them without or without opening iPhoto.

How do I do a mass change of face names in iphoto? For example, I have 500 pictures named Michelle Smith, but she is married and is now Michelle Johnson. How do I change all the photo face names to the new name en masse?

Change File Name in iPhoto

I am pretty new the Mac world- decided to get one of the new intel iMacs out for managing all my digital media. I hope I am just missing something obvious:
how can I change the file name of am image in the iPhoto library browser?
I have used a number of different photo management tools in my life but I just can't figure this one out!
Thanks for the help!

Finder does show you images as thumbnails (actually an image Preview)
Open a folder of images in column view
Go to View>show view Options in the menu bar
In next window check both options...keep the window open, then
switch to icon view
in the view options window you now can make your icons 128x128 and also check "show icon preview"
If the images are in the iPhoto Library folder that you are viewing in the finder, you cannot change the file name or iPhoto will lose the link to the photo.

Expand field "confirmation name" SRM 5.0

Hello Guru´s!!
We to change the field "confirmation name" in SRM 5.0.
We need to expand the field to the maximum possible.
Any body know if it´s possible? I have no idea how we can do that, I mean, how look the field in SRM, the web dynpro , etc
Thanks a lot!
Regards!

Look at this strcuture INCL_EEW_PD_HEADER_CSF_CONF.

Copy 'Confirmation Name' from SRM Confirmation to R/3 Documents

We're using EBP 4.0 with R/3 4.7, ext. classic scenario.
When confirmations are posted in EBP we want the information entered in the 'Confirmation name' field to be copied to the material document 'Header txt' field and to the service entry sheet 'Doc. text' field (for confirmations to service orders).
We can do it for confirmations to standard orders, using an event to trigger a function module to check for the existence of the matl. doc. and update the field (with MB02).
We're stuck on confirmations to service orders, as the transaction available (ML81) does not allow the 'Doc. text' to be changed.
Any ideas please ?
Thanks,
Tim

I had same requirement and went through many posts on SDN but didnt find a solution. So after some hours of debuggin found following.
This question was asked long back but the information may be helpful for someone like me in future
So ---
·         The Function module      META_SUSCF_SEND is responsible for
1.       Mapping values from SRM (SUS) internal structures to external structures used in back end ECC(R3) system
2.       Call the driver function(BBP_SOAXML1_SUSCF_SEND) to deliver the SUS confirmation data to ECC(R3) system [ havent gone through this module but assumin it does ]
·         During the process of creating confirmation supplier will enter a custom text in confirmation field
·         In standard scenario the SRM system generated number is available in IS_HEADER-OBJECT_ID and the custom text added by supplier is present in IS_HEADER-REF_DOC_NO.
·         the OBJECT_ID field is taken to back end ECC(R3) system as ‘External Number’ in service entry sheet.
·         Hence by using an implicit enhancement option in function module ‘BBP_DOCUMENT_TO_EXT_MAPV’ transfer IS_HEADER-REF_DOC_NO to IS_HEADER-OBJECT_ID.
·         The enhancement should be restricted to confirmations only so following condition should be checked before data transfer
Ø       IS_HEADER-PROCESS_TYPE = ‘SUCF’ AND IS_HEADER-SUBTYPE = ‘CF’

Changing File Names in iPhoto

I changed the name of several pictures in iphoto, and when I uploaded the pictures to a website to print, I was very frustrated that the file names were the same and I could not see which photos I had marked. So I went to each picture and changed the actual file name. Now those pictures do not show up in iphoto (although I can open them if I click on show original file), but what's worse, they won't upload to a website, which was my whole purpose in doing this in the first place. I can't even click on the original file to upload. So I guess I'm wondering how I can undo the file name changes and go back to the original file names so I can upload these pictures. I greatly appreciate any help!

iPhoto is a SQL database and you can not change the files names within iPhoto
I changed the name of several pictures in iphoto
That does not affect the file name - that is the title only used for display within iPhoto or when you export -
You can do it when you export - select the photos and export (file menu ==> export) and select the use title as file name option
So I went to each picture and changed the actual file name. Now those pictures do not show up in iphoto
Right you have corrupted your SQL database by making change to it - the first rule of iPhoto (and all database maangement systems) is to NEVER make any changes directly to the structure or content of the database - all changes MUST be made using iPhoto only. This is why the iPhoto library is a package and you ae to take special steps to get into it - there are no user servicable parts in the iPhoto library
So I guess I'm wondering how I can undo the file name changes and go back to the original file names so I can upload these pictures.
best way is to load your backup from before you destroyed your library
only other choices are to restore the file names to exactly what they were prior to your error or creating a totally new iPhoto library from your original photos losing all edits, metadata changes, etc.

Confirming names not working

Is anyone else having the issue where when they pick names to confirm or reject and than say "done", its as if nothing has happened? I have tried exiting out of iphoto and with different faces, same issue.

Same happened to me today.
In Faces section I could confirm person’s face over and over again. Simply, as soon as I left Faces section of iPhoto and came back to vew person’s photos I could see that X number of photos are pending confirmation, despite confirming them just a second ago.
It started to happen around time I started to mess up with FaceBook sharing in iPhoto (upload of photos froze, then I had to delete em from within iPhoto, but FB did not delete it, then I.... and so on and so on)
I managed to fix it by going straight into Events view (I think it could be done within Photos view also) and in Edit mode I confirmed those problematic photos and it worked.
Glad I didn’t had like thousands of 'em, just 20-ish scattered around my events.

How Can I Display the Name of iPhoto Library?

I manage a huge number of images so I keeep them in their own iPhoto libraries. In order to change libraries, I have to rename the one I have just left and then restart iPhoto. I have looked for years but cannot find a way for iPhoto to display the name of the library it has open. I could remember the names of all my libraries if I was not forced to change them in order to leave them and go to another. Does iPhoto tell you the name of the library you have open?
Thanks

Hi John,
iPhoto 6 now shows the name of the library in the title bar of the iPhoto window. At least it did the other day for me.
You can have a unique name for each of your libraries and use the Option key to launch iPhoto and choose to open another library, then navigate to the library, highlight it and click open.
You can also use one of the iPhoto Library managers to switch between libraries.

Displaying the name of iPhoto library

I have a large number of different iPhoto libraries, and was wondering if there was some way to display the name of the Library in use. I have given them all different names, and can usually tell which one I am in, but not always.
iPhoto insists on calling each one "Library" in the information pane. I've looked through the responses to this question in the iPhoto 5 section (i.e. "can't do it") but, now that iPhoto offers multiple library support, you'd think this would be addressed.
Th causes of my problem are twofold: 1) I often duplicate libraries and then split them by deleting different film rolls from each and 2) I'm getting old, and my memory is not what it once was, so I tend to forget which of the two libraries I've opened and which files should be deleted.
Any suggestions?

luba:
Yes if you use iPhoto Library Manager to manage your multiple libraries as you can see here. iPLM adds the library title to the top of iPhoto's window when you go thru iPLM. It will also let you copy albums or rolls between libraries and keep the keywords and comments like this.
I have my workflow setup to always go thru iPLM so I always know exactly which library I'm opening. My memory isn't good enough to remember the last one I had opened.
Do you Twango?
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 written 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Change Event Name in iPhoto for iOS

I've bought in to Apple's promise of the "PC free" lifestyle with an iPad and the camera connectivity kit. A major problem is the fact that you couldn't manage events on the iPad with the standard "Photos" app.
With the new "iPhoto for iOS", will I finally be able to restore organization to my library? I would love it if I could simply name events and perhaps do a little split/merge here and there.
Thanks for your help,
Mitch

I agree. I bought the camera connect kit and was disappointed that I couldn't rename the events at all.

Do you have problems updating photo names in iPhoto?

It is an absolute nightmare. Every other photo the edit name function just stops working. It makes updating my names a big pain in the rear end.

If you use a theme that has layouts without text boxes or themes that do not have autoload of text the text will not print even though you get a warning before ordering. Folio is the only theme that automatically puts in some text. The others just have placecard text that does not print.
You can test it by by proofing the book according to this Apple document: iPhoto, Aperture: Previewing an order in iPhoto or Aperture.
These are two pages from the Picture Book theme of a 2 photo per page layout. One has text and the other doesn't. The text you see is placecard text and will not display when printed.
This is a screenshot of the pages in the PDF file:
No text on the second page.

Do I get confirmation that my Iphoto book is being produced and sent out?

I put together a photo book in Iphoto and submitted it. It went through all the rendering and processing. My credit card bill shows it was in the process of being charged, but there was no confirmation from Apple that my book will be produced and mailed out. Is this how it is suppose to happen?
Thank you,
Danny

Duplicate file names within iphoto

Hi
I have replaced my camera (my one year old son threw it in the bath!!!) and since the swap over i didnt think that there would be conflict in file names. It was either this or the crashing of my hard drive( i did have a back up of all my photos) and when i reimported them onto my computer strange things happened. In spotlight i can find up to 10 different pictures with the same name and then _1 or _2 etc added to the end. Curiously all these photos are dated the 14 jan 04 which has no relevance to the date the hard drive crashed - it crashed around the end of last year. I had backed up onto a pc server - not sure if that contributed to the file name mix up or loss of date. All the creation dates are gone but the modified date is 14/1/04.
Now what happens is if a scroll through iphoto i can see pictures and then they change before my eyes. Also if i click on a photo another one is brought up usually the oldest photo.
Is there a quick fix or do i need to remove all my photos and delete the library and start again?
Hopefully someone can help
Thanks
Brendan

Hello,
This is a by-product of the MathScript implementation. Basically, there are two matrix datatypes being used under the hood. We are working to eliminate this issue, but you can safely ignore the warnings. You will need to bring both folders along with your built application.

How to set "Title" as "File Name" in iPhoto 5?

iPhoto lets you batch rename the title for your photo library of a given roll. So if you have say "Vacation" you can set title to all the photos in there as Vacation -1 , Vacation -2 etc. etc. But, this is just the title for iphoto database. The actual filename will still be as IMG_xxx.jpg (or whatever is default in your digital camera).
Is there a way to set the Title as File name ?? I already have 1000+ photos iphoto and title is all set as my Roll Name - xx . But it will be great to have file names set as the title too.
I think I can batch rename in Image Capture before downloading the files, but then I have to again import those in iPhoto , so its two step process and inconvenient.
So, does anyone know how to set File name as Title ( you can only do other way around in iPhoto, I think) ? Any script available which can read iPhoto title and set the file name as Title? Thanks.

Hi kothrush,
You must rename in the Finder first, before importing into iPhoto.
You cannot do it after importing into iPhoto. Well, you can. You can share export the renamed images to the desktop. Delete the ones in iPhoto, then import the renamed ones back into iPhoto. That's a lot more steps.
Whatever you do, you cannot rename any images in the Finder that are already in the iPhoto Library or iPhoto will lose the link to the images.
