Contact sheet truncates and changes file name

Greetings!
I am using Photoshop CS3 on a G5 PowerPC running OS 10.5.4. My file name is 29 characters long and looks like this - Gar_070208_MD_42BlueHeron_055.JPG. When I make a contact sheet, PS puts the images in the correct order left to right top to bottom. What is wrong is PS changes the last part of the file name.
My settings (I have 4 across and 5 down) are X-Include All Subfolders, X- Flatten All Layers, X- Rotate For Best Fit and X-Use Filename As Caption (Helvetica size 12 pt) The full name fits under each image with room to spare. The resulting name looks like this for the name above - Gar_070208_MD_42BlueH#4A895.JPG. I have tried making the CS a number of time varying the font size and no change. When making those changes, I notice that the file names are still wrong and are consistently the same wrong. And they get weirder, like #4A89D, #4A8A9, #4A8B1 ....
The only thing I can figure is that PS does not like a file name longer than 27 characters, since that is what it truncates to. Or there is another problem/bug in the system.
Any thoughts, ideas or workarounds?
Thanks in advance!
Cheers!

I have the same problem. I am using PS CS3 running under OS 10.5.2. If the file name excluding the extension is longer than 27 characters, I get the same error, starting with the # character. However, if the file name is longer than 27 characters, it still appears correct in Bridge and in the documents folder. This leads me to speculate that it is a Photoshop problem, not an operating system issue.
When I was using contact sheet II in PS CS2 under Windows XP, it worked ok for more than 27 characters.

  • Trying to write an Automator program to find files with same time created and change file names to matching source folder names

    I am failrly green when it comes to automator.
    I am trying to write an Automator program:
    Not sure where to post this
    trying to write an Automator program to find files and alter their names
    I have a source folder with correct named master files in it.
    eg. A0001_1234.mpeg
    time created 14:02:03
    date 07/07/2012
    Another folder where there will be copies of the master files in a different format with different names but created at the same time as a file in the source directory.
    they are created with a seperate device but they are
    A0000001.mp4
    time created 14:02:03
    date 07/07/2012
    I need it to then take the name from the source fies and apply the correct name to the matching file based on the time it was created.
    I can't seem to find actions in automator that reference time crated.
    Is this something I will be able to Do in automator?
    Any help would be great
    Thanks

    Hi,
    It's impossible to do this without any script in Automator.
    Use this AppleScript script :
    set source to choose folder with prompt "Select the source folder"
    set anotherfolder to choose folder with prompt "Choose the another folder"
    tell application "Finder"
        repeat with tfile in (get files of source)
            set cDate to creation date of tfile
            set findFiles to (files of anotherfolder whose creation date is cDate)
            if findFiles is not {} then
                set tName to name of tfile
                set name of item 1 of findFiles to tName
            end if
        end repeat
    end tell

  • I can not transfer date from one hard drive to another, I keep getting an error because I have two of the same file names and one file name is in caps and I cant change the file name

    can not transfer date from one hard drive to another, I keep getting an error because I have two of the same file names and one file name is in caps and I cant change the file name. My original external has an error and needs to be reformatted but I dont want to lose this informations its my entire Itunes library.

    Sounds like the source drive is formatted as case sensitive and the destination drive is not. The preferred format for OS X is case insensitive unless there is a compelling reason to go case sensitive.
    Why can't you change the filename? Is it because the source drive is having problems?  If so is this happening with only one or two or a few files? If so the best thing would be to copy those over individually and then rename them on the destination drive.
    If it is more then you can do manually and you can't change the name on the source you will have to reformat the destination as case sensitive.
    Btw this group is for discussion of the Support Communities itself, you;d do better posting to Lion group. I'll see if a host will move it.

  • Is it possible to change file name policy in the JRE cache folder?

    We are getting calls from our clients complaining of slowdowns in loading our Java applet. The reason is a virusscanner. If a virusscanner is in the middle, it can drastically slow down the download process, and therefore cause some high delay before the user can work on the our product as expected.
    On this csutomer's side, it may take up to 10 min (the first time it is ran) instead of 1 min. JRE 1.6 is in use.
    They dont want to exclude from antivirus scan all files from Sun\Java\Deployment\cache folder.
    Question:
    Is it possible to change file name policy in the JRE cache to make it less unique?
    Thanks,

    I suggest you solve the real problem - big files.
    There are two scenarios
    1. Initial download
    2. Updates.
    The first takes as long as it takes. No way around it.
    The second means that you can't use one jar. Otherwise every single update requires downloading the entire application every time. Multiple jars means only the one that changed is downloaded.

  • RoboHelp changes file name to lowercase

    I am using RH X5.0.2 (running on Win XP SP2) to import HTML files as topics. The primary layout is Microsoft HTML Help.
    The original HTML file names are mixed case, but when the files are imported into RoboHelp, the file names are changed to all lowercase. For example, GL_Audit.htm is changed to gl_audit.htm. This is an issue because the topic title reflects the file name, and I need the topic title to retain the mixed case of the original files.
    After I import the file, I have to manually change the topic title. However, RoboHelp does not like it when the title has an underscore. If I change gl_audit to GL_Audit and click OK, the change is not saved. But if I change gl_audit to GLAudit and click Apply, and then change it to GL_Audit, the change is saved.
    I am using an existing project that was created by someone else a long time ago. Here are the steps that I am following:
    1. Right-click the destination folder, and then click Import.
    2. At the Import File screen, select the desired file, for example, GL_Audit.htm, and click Open. The file is imported as a topic.
    3. Right-click the topic, and click Properties. Note that the Topic Tile is gl_audit, and the file name is gl_audit.htm.
    4. In the Topic Title field, type GL_Audit, and click OK. Note that the Topic title is still gl_audit, and not GL_Audit.
    5. Open the Topic Properties screen again.
    6. In the Topic Title field, type GLAudit, and click Apply.
    7. In the Topic Title field, enter an underscore between the L and the A so that the topic title is GL_Audit.
    8. Click OK. Not that the topic title is saved as it was typed -- in mixed case.
    If I can get RH to import the files without changing the original case, it will not matter that it takes two steps to change the topic title name.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Ashley

    Hi again
    Ashley, how are these HTML pages being created? I ask because I performed a small test. While the import process did indeed convert the file name to all lower case, it ignored the Topic Title. However, if I didn't have a Topic Title defined, it did create one that was all lower case.
    I'm thinking that whatever tool that was used to create the topics you are importing didn't properly configure a proper Title Tag.
    Cheers... Rick

  • ADE changes file names

    The book I downloaded has each chapter as a seperate .pdf, each with it's own unique filename. ADE has retitled every chapter (.pdf) to the name of the book. Now that all the chapters have the same name, I can't transfer them to my Kobo. How do I change titles or get ADE to stop changing file names?
    Thanks

  • Dynamic bad and Log file names!!

    Hi

    Hi
    I have the scenario like the data files would be passed as parameter to the mapping , and the mapping would have the premapping procedure which would change the file name in the external table definition. This works fine. But the one more issue I have is that, I would like to change the bad file,log file and discard file name also through this procedure. In other words, for each incoming data file I would like to create a bad ,log and disc file.So How do I accomplish in the present procedure which does the following alter table statement
    execute immediate 'alter table '||p_table_name||' location('''
    ||p_file_name||''')';
    Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated
    Thanks

  • We installed a new router and changed the name of the router. Now my HP C4500 printer won't print.

    Our cable company installed a new wireless router and changed the name of the router.  Now my HP C4500 printer won't print from my laptop.
    I can't find any ot the Set Up stuff I used initially.
    Is there any way to get my printer to work again...wirelessly?

    Get the latest software for your printer from the "Support & Drivers" link at the top of this page.  When you start the installation it will ask what kind of installation you would like.  Choose "Wireless" or "Network" then click "Next".
    Eventually it will ask you to plug in a USB cable to the printer temporarily to communicate the new router's info to the printer.  Make sure to not plug in the USB until it asks.
    Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

  • How do I reconnect media after changing file name?

    The original file name is 1001.WAV I changed it to Take1 . How do I relocate the files? I use Pluraleyes to sync all my files.
    Cheers, Greg

    Change it back.  NEVER change file names in the Finder level if the media is in an FCP project.  Change it BEFORE you import it into FCP...or change the name IN FCP.  What you did was bad bad wrong wrong. Expecially since you already did things like sync it up with pluraleyes.
    Change it back.  Then change the name in FCP.

  • Automate exports and imports (file names)

    Hi all,
    I will like to do a simple export and import into another schema in another database.
    I am very comfortable with the process but all i require is how to set the dump file and log file names to be the date and name of the database being exported and imported.
    For example when I do the export I want the dump file and logfile names to be exp_ORCL_230805.dmp and exp_ORCL_230805.log for database ORCL exported on 230805.
    For the import I want the logfile name to be imp_TEST_230905.log.
    I am doing this export and import on a windows xp client but the database reside on UNIX AIX boxes.
    Thanks alot

    Set up ORACLE_SID before you start the imp/exp session on the client, then you can use file=exp_%ORACLE_SID%_%DATE%.dmp etc. (Note that if your windows locale has a date format w/ whitespace you might have to write a script to get rid of it..)
