Converting AIF to MP3 and keeping original file name?

Wondering if this is possible to do using iTunes (if not, i'm open to suggestions). Basically I have a collection of AIFF files named very specifically and I'm looking to convert them to MP3 without changing the names of the actual file (example: POS-01CutThroat.aif becomes POS-01CutThroat.mp3) but still keep all the metadata of the AIF in the MP3 (title, composers, comments etc...)
If anyone has any clue as to what i'm talking about, or even better can help me out, please let me know
Thanks!

I have two suggestions:
1. Use the Sundry Info to Comments script to add the filename to the Comment field, then use the File Renamer script to rename the files based on the comment field after you’ve ripped them. Obviously, this will only work if you don’t have other info that needs to be in that field.
2. Rip your files using Max, which gives you a lot more flexibility than iTunes in terms of how the files are named and tagged. This will also produce better sounding MP3 files, because unlike iTunes, it uses the LAME standard.
Personally, I would go with suggestion #2.

Tethering in Lightroom with MK III - Can't keep original file names

Hello,
I am shooting a Canon Mark III to Lightroom 3.3 with RAW 6.3 on OS 10.5.8. All I want to do is insert custom text in front of the original file name from the camera. I cannot even seem to get Lightroom to allow the images to maintain the naming from the camera. The options "filename", "original file number" and "sequence" all rename the files in accordance with Lightroom preferences. I want to keep the naming from the camera and simply add custom text in addition to it. I would be pleased to even learn if Lightroom can accept the name from the camera as it does not seem able to do so. No matter what I select, input, or leave out, Lightroom seems to rename the file in some way or another.
The problem with most of the naming conventions in Lightroom is that the numbers seem to reset when the camera gets turned off. "Sequence" is the only setting that maintains a consistent and ascending count even if the camera is turned off then back on but it still doesn't reflect the camera settings which most photographers prefer to leave on continuous. While this affords a temporary solution, it does not fix the issue that we would prefer to see the original filename and number that the camera puts out. I have tested all the filename settings in Lightroom (including inputting nothing) and can't seem to get the actual original camera written filename to show up. PLEASE HELP!
It is hard to imagine that any software this powerful, especially from Adobe, could overlook and fail to execute something so crucial and basic as simply not overwriting the file info from the camera.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Hello,
original file name is only stored in the lightroom catalog file. This means, the original filename is stored in your LR4 catalog! After you upgraded to LR5 you simply have to open the LR4 catalog and LR5 will convert the catalog into an LR5 catalog.
I hope, you still have an LR4 catalog backup (before you removed all images)? Otherwise original file name is lost.

How to keep original file name in File- Soap- Soap- File scenario?

Hi Gurus,
I have a requirement as bleow:
There are two PI landscape for two different company and they are communicating using Soap adapter. We need to pass a flat file cross the two PI now, and need to keep the original file name.Anyone could shed some lights on this?
Thanks,
Rajesh

Hi Rajesh - See if you can make use of Dynamic configuration bean. I'm not sure if it works but you can give a try..
Unknown use case of DynamicConfigurationBean: Store file name to JMS header without mapping
Adding DynamicConfigurationBean in the Module Processor - SAP NetWeaver Process Integration - SAP Library
Set the adapter specific attributes in file sender channel for filename
swap the file name value to any other soap adapter attribute in the receiver channel using the above module
again swap the attributes in soap sender channel(your second system)
receiver file channel enable ASMA.

Any way to keep original file name as image name for web gallery?

Hi,
I wonder if there is any way to keep the original file name as image name for a web gallery (instead of "picture-1.jpg)
People often send us the thumbnails or the image from the web and we have to search forever to find the image in AP - if we could keep our original filename then this would be a second away.
Hope somebody has an idea
thanks

Hi William,
I finally had time to play - unfortunately it does
not work the way you described above.
I´m just exporting a set of images using the "Stock
Black" Theme - marked name only - batched the
filename to masterfile - but the actual picture names
are still "picture-1.jpg" - "picture-2.jpg".
did I miss anything? thanks
I see what you want, you don't care about the screen name so much but want the generated file names to be the same as the version names. From earlier messages though I am not quite sure why this is a problem, since you said other people were picking the images they wanted - say Image1 and 23 and 8. That to me says those people are going through the directory using Finder or Explorer, not using the HTML.
Is it the case you are giving people web galleries on CD? If so, then perhaps also export a "browse" directory with exported images using the version names, so that people can use the right name.
Or perhaps it's the case that people are downloading the images from the web, and then using the downloaded file names to send you requests. I'm not sure how to fix this yet and do not know if 1.1 offers something for this.

Converted to PDF how do I keep original File name??

Hi
I've set up a automator action to compress my Microsoft Word Document to PDF and "mail file". How do i keep the original Word document filename that i originally saved as, rather that the "Microsoft Word Document.doc" as it appears in the new email message
Thanks for any help
Jonathan

It is a problem with Microsoft Word. When it sends a print job, it names it "Microsoft Word Document," instead of something useful, like the document name. Since there is no way to capture the name of the original file when you print from the PDF Services menu, I don't see a way to code it.
A workaround is to add a "Rename Finder Items" action between the compress and Mail actions. Set it to rename a single item and show the action at runtime. You can then type in a name you want.
I had started working on a method to get the name of the document, but realized the problem that I stated above. Since you are "Printing" from the PDF Services, you don't know the actual document name as Microsoft has "hidden" it.

How do I turn off Picture Sharing? I want to send the file as normal and keep the file name.

As above, recently I can't send images the same way as other files. I want the receiver to get the file directly. Right now Skype uploads the image to some website and also changes the file name, which is a big problem for me. Also it's very impractical for the receiver to have to open the link all the time.

Hi and welcome to the Skype Community,
Please ask the recipient of your file to upgrade to the latest version of Skype for their platform. The latest versions of Skype for all supported devices are available at http://www.skype.com/download.
All current Skype versions show the file within the conversation and do not require to open them in the browser any longer. By default Skype opens a thumbnail for received files. Make sure your pick a location to save the image as a receiver and you will get the original file and not a smaller thumbnail in a different file format.

Bridge MUST KEEP ORIGINAL FILES NAMES when creating a web gallery.

My clients use the galleries I create to download higher resolution images, and now Bridge decides to randomly rename the output images with arbitrary numbers? REALLY? Why on earth would Bridge even NEED to do that? So stupid, please fix, pronto.

I agree.
The web gallery is useless this way.
Fix needed asap!

Can I create action to Save As... and change only one character of the original file name?

I'm working on a group of files(25-28) at a time. I have to save each one as a photoshop .raw file and change the first character of the file name. the rest of the file name must remain the same. I then close the original file with no changes. I tried to create an action for this. The only problem is that the next file overwrote the file I used to create the action. Is it possible to creat an action to save as... and keep the file name of the new file but chage the first character to the same one used in the recording?

Good day!
I think what you are describing is not possible with Actions.
Scripting would be an option, but more convenient might be simply saving the files with unchanged names and then edit the names of the whole bunch in Bridge in one go (Tools > Batch Rename).

Acrobat 5.0 How do I keep the original file name after I have converted a Word doc to PDF?

MY colleague has a certain setting in Acrobat that allows him to keep the original file name when he converts documents from Word to PDF. Every time I convert Word, Acrobat overwrites the filename and names it "untitled.pdf". I would like to retain the original name and for Acrobat to simply add the .pdf file extension to the original name. How do I do this?

I have no idea what you are doing for sure. Does your WORD document have a name. I opened a WORD document and selected the Acrobat Distiller printer for AA5, I got the file menu for selecting the name and it was automatically filled in with the DOC changed to PDF. If you are using PDF Maker, then you will need to search there - I removed PDF Maker for AA5 years ago and can't view that part. I see the same types of options in PDF Maker for AA8.1.2 as I saw in the printer for AA5 and guess it is the same. The untitled.pdf suggests that you never saved the original DOC file so it has a name.

Mp3 will not rename - reverts back to original file name. Any suggestions?

I have a bunch of mp3 files that I would like to rename the original file name. Itunes only allows me to change metadata, but to fix broken names and keep organized, I need to change the file name. Once I rename the file, it shows the new name, and then upon playing it, it reverts back to the original name. I do not have any locked permissions. I have parallels and tried to rename them on the windows 7 side but same effect. I tried to shut all programs off so the file was not in use. I even tried to export it as a acc file type. I am exhausted looking for a solution, this is why I am using this forum as a last ditch effort. Please help.

As far as I am aware, iTunes does not rename files (at least nto my older version I use). Yes, it will insist upon the files being in certain folders which is structured from the metadata, but the files themselves keeep whatever name you use.
I suggest this be moved to an iTunes forum (you choose for Mac or for Windows). I have never seen anybody else complain about this in the past.
One question, do you subscribe to Match? Is there anything else using these files, some third party software?

How do I convert .txt to .pdf and keep the formatting

I have a large .txt file that I would like to convert to .pdf. I have tried to print the file and choose Adobe PDF but the output is just a mess. I loose all the formatting and get blank pages every so often. Does anyone know if is possible to convert .txt to .pdf and keep the formatting. I would try a virtual printer application but I am not able to just install any application on my office computer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It may be a bit late for you now but in future (and for anyone else interested) I would recommend copying the text into a word document and changing the text font to Consolas. Adjust the size to fit the page again and it should match the original notepad formatting.

Keeping Original Files

What's the general guidelines for keeping original files after completing a project? Do most of you discard them, or keep them?
Being as I'm not a very efficient shooter, I sometimes have a couple minutes of video for just ten seconds of needed footage. Those files take up a lot of space. Any recommendations appreciated.
Thank you. Stan

Thanks for the kind words.
That is just my scheme, and much of it is predicated on the need to migrate entire Projects between multiple computers.
Were I ONLY working on the workstation, I would possibly do things a bit differently, to get more performance:
C:\ OS and programs w/ possibly the Page File
D:\ RAID0 Project root folder w/ Copies of media under it
E:\ Project in Project root folder
F:\ RAID0 Scratch Disks in Project root folder, including Render Files
G:\ RAID0 Export/Share files to Project root folder
So long as the RAID drives are managed by a dedicated hardware card, things should fly. If the RAID is managed by software, or even hardware on the MoBo, there is not nearly so great a performance increase - though there will be some.
That would mean that when I am finished, I would need to go to four separate HDD's, but would only need to Delete the Project root folder from each. My media Asset originals would stay on my NAS, out of the way.
Good luck,
Hunt

The password is set on the WiFi router providing the service, by the owner of the network to prevent unwanted "guests" accessing the network. The only way to know it is to ask the owner permission to use the network. Otherwise, you have to find a free WiFi hotspot that doesn't require a password.

Files saved on memory stick on pc show as original file name followed by .XML and i cannot open why

files saved on memory stick on pc show as original file name followed by .XML for example tester.doc.XML, is there any reason? I cant open these on mac, if i put it back in PC is shows file as normal without .XML. Confused.com any ideas.

I have files on my work laptop (PC) e.g. document1.doc (word document), I then save it to my memory stick (which i have reformatted, I also tried my external disk drive) and then take that to my macbook, plug it in and in finder it then shows as document1.doc.XML, which i cannot open. It happens to all types of files, it just seems to add .XML on the end of everything.
