Custom File Naming

Is there any way to save a custom file naming routine into a preset?

Well, for me at least, this is the workflow I would like to see built in:
1. Load card or point to folder
2. Images are placed in a sorting place (I use the term "shoot")
3. Select keepers from the shoot (note a shoot could have hundreds of images)
4. Right click on a library folder to FILE images to
5. LR knows the naming convention used in that folder and prompts for confirm/edit
6. Images are FILED to the library folder via a move and rename using the above info
This is what I have today and it works well and is fast. The primary benefit I have in LR as-is is the post filing processing. I will say that the keywording is not as robust or fast as I would like.

Unable to copy/cut/paste from within custom file naming dialogue (in exporting images)

When I go into the export dialogue and select a portion of a file naming scheme, I cannot get it into the clipboard. I had wanted to cut a portion of the specification, export with an amended name, and then paste the original back. I am running the beta in Win7 64-bit.

Advice:
1) Check Copy in sand-boxed app. in 1.6.0_24+.
2) Do not hi-jack the threads of other people. Start a new thread and if you think another thread relates to your problem, link to it.

How to add folder/project name to a File Naming preset

Here's a tip to automatically add the name of the Project or its parent Folder to the filename during Import or Batch Change.
I always used a custom field for adding my client's name to the filename upon Import or Batch Changing versions or masters. But often I would forget to change the custom name, and since it's auto-populated with the previous entry, I'd end up with a bunch of files with the wrong client's name on them. That looks kind of bad. So once I saw with Aperture 3 you can add the Project name or Folder name when relocating referenced files to the new folder structure, I was excited to be able to do the same for the filenames at import. Well, no such luck. They're not an option when you create a custom File Naming preset.
However, I recently decided to poke around inside some plist files, and found a workaround. I discovered the format string for Folder Name is %F and Project Name is %P. The trick is getting the code into the Format Field where you create the preset.
Create a new File Naming preset by choosing "edit" from the Version Name menu during Import or Batch Change. Drag everything you want in the name into the Format field, and enter %F or %P where you want the Folder or Project name. The tricky part is that you can't insert it between two existing criteria. It only works at the very end. After you have it in place, you can drag the criteria around to get it in the order you want.
The alternative method is to insert the code directly into the plist. PLEASE, always make sure you're working with a copy and have a good backup when you're poking around in such things. If you have trouble getting the code to take from within Aperture, you can try this. Same as above, create a new preset, but this time, enter an F or P where you want the Folder or Project name. Give it a unique preset name and save it. Then Quit Aperture. Navigate to ~/Library/Application Support/Aperture/FileNamingPresets.plist, and make a copy of the file, then open with Property List Editor. Dropdown the plist and then dropdown the item you want to edit. You should recognize it by the preset name. Now the easy part. Click in the FormatString field and insert the % character before the F or P you entered in the Format field. Save and you're done.
I discovered later that while the Folder and Project name works just fine during import, for some reason only the Project name works during Batch Change. The Folder name simply creates a "-" in the filename.
In case this is seen as a hack and gets deleted, I'm also submitting it to http://www.macosxhints.com/ and I suspect if anyone from MacCreate sees it, they'll steal it too, as they're known to do.

I do not think there is an out of the box way to do this.
The immediate solution that comes to mind is using a workflow, that runs everytime a document is uploaded/item created, which may be too much for your scenario.

Custom File Renaming Template Keeps Changing

I'm having issues when creating a custom file naming template in Tiger with LR 1.3.1.
When importing files, I created a custom template to rename the files with YYMMDD_{original file suffix}{Master}.tif to get this: 071217_12056Master.tif. The first import goes fine. But when I import another batch of files and choose the template all I get is 071217_Master.tif.
I tried creating the template by hitting F2 to rename the photo and get the same results. The really odd thing is that some of the other templates have their characteristics jumbled around so that what I thought was the "orig file-name" template might actually produce something like 071217_.tif.
The original file suffix suffers the worst in terms of disappearing without cause. This behavior was occurring in the 1.2 ver. as well. I've deleted every single template thru the editor, recreated them again and still get the errors.
Hopefully someone here can provide some clues?
Thank you!

It sounds as though your import preset either isn't working or wasn't setup correctly.
Using the full screen import panel, make sure Copy or Move is selected and then select your Import Preset....what does the File Renaming panel look like? "Rename Files" should be ticked, Template should read "Custom Settings" (or the specific rename preset if you've saved it) and the sample should show the correct rename format, like so:
So does yours look like this, or different?

Regarding file naming convention(while publishing a file to FTP)

Hi,
In one of our usecases, we need to configure the file name based on the client’s requirement.(to place the file in FTP. But the file name should be customized by us.) We referred to the link given below.
http://www.b2bgurus.com/2008/04/customizing-file-naming-convention-in.html
Can you please briefly explain about where should we setup the 'macro' so that we can change the file name(which will be placed in FTP) as we like.
Thanks,
Shanmuga S.

Hi,
     As you said we had applied the patch(number 7233222).In the Transport parameter, we entered the values for 'filename format' as given in the link,
     http://www.b2bgurus.com/2008/04/customizing-file-naming-convention-in.html.
     But we couldn't put the file in FTP.
     Our usecase is to send file(with customized name) to FTP.
     Before applying the patch, this scenario works fine and we could put the file into FTP. In this case the default file name is '%FROM_PARTY%_%TIMESTAMP%.dat'.
     After applying the patch (number 7233222), we got the entry 'filename format' in 'Transport parameter'. There the default value is given as '%FROM_PARTY%_%TIMESTAMP%.dat'. But in this flow(after applying patch) we couldn't put the file in FTP. No error logs were seen in b2b.log file.
     In 'b2b_dc_transport.log' file, we were getting the following logs,

Can I create an automatic custom file save name/path once I click digital signature field?

Hi,
What I'm trying to do is once I click on a digital signature and I add my digital signature it requires me to sign it. I want to know if there's a workaround to where once I click it it will automatically save to a file name based on a field and to a pre-determined directory? Say, if I want it to save to a users desktop. My supervisor is wanting to eliminate his employees having to change the file name to the format he wants and selecting the save location and make it automatic for everyone to have it saved at the same location on their computers.
Will likely have everyone in the office create a folder named 'Leave Requests'. This will be the location on the desktop where all these automatically saved files would go. The custom file name would be Emp_Name + "Leave Request" + Date where Emp_Name and Date are 2 variables that are user inputted field values on the form. I have looked around but there doesn't seem to be too much on this one. I do realize I can't create a custom 'Save As' location and path name but I have read a little about creating a custom automatic save feature and wanted to know if I could implement that. Here is the information I read about:
http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/print/how-save-pdf-acrobat-javascript
I appreciate all help any of you can give me in this matter. Thanks!!!

Custom File Accesor implementation in 6.1 MP1

I have made an custom file accessor (IPTCustomFileAccessor) using the Portal Server API for a crawler that is crawling a news website. I found example of the implementation of a custom file accessor to ALI version 5 but it seems that it does not go the same way in version 6.1.
Here is what I have done:
1. copied my custom accessor .jar file to <PORTAL_HOME>\accessors\customfa.jar2. Created accesors.xml to <PORTAL_HOME>\settings\config with following content:
<accessorlibs>
<accessorlib name="sampleaccessor" path="accessors/" />
</accessorlibs>3. After that restarted the Portal. When the portal is starting it gives me some error about 5.0 configs not suitable in 6.1
After that I tried to use the 6.1's dynamic loads:
1. I created a new folder named accessors to <PT_HOME>\settings\portal\dynamicloads and moved the accessors.xml to that location
2. Restarted the portal and then I get an error message:
1559 portal.xxxx.xxx 8-22-2007 10:57:56.250 Fatal UI_Infrastructure Thread-0 com.plumtree.uiinfrastructure.application.startup.LoadCustomLoads Fatal Exception loading lib file: c:\bea\alui\settings\portal\dynamicloads\Accessors\accessors.xml
com.plumtree.openfoundation.util.XPNullPointerException: XPDynamicDiscovery failed to find all needed information in the xml file: c:\bea\alui\settings\portal\dynamicloads\Accessors\accessors.xml. Please make sure that the file is formatted correctly.Does anyone have a clue how should the accessors.xml be formatted? Thanks in advance!

SSO info - as well as most other portal config info that used to be in various XML files - was moved to $PT_HOME/settings/portal/portalconfig.xml in G6.

File naming

I'm new to the Mac, new to Aperture 3 (running Trial at the moment). Came from PC and PS CS2 and Adobe Bridge. I have most of my pics in folders organized by date (2008-01-13) and inside the folders, the pics have their original file names - img7832.cr2, etc.
Upon importing (I've just tried a few folders), I choses a naming scheme such as Boston2008-01-13_img7832.cr2. I left unchecked the rename Masters because I wasn't sure if that was a good idea or not. What do you think of this naming scheme? Or would you toss out the original file name and put the date in front - such as 2008-01-13_Boston. I'm kind of at a loss as to what down the road is going to be most beneficial when it comes to locating photos or to sorting methods. Are underscores necessary between the various components? I do mostly travel and nature photography and and have generally keyworded in the past to find my pictures. I've scanned forums, etc., but haven't found any really good advice on this. I'd appreciate any thoughts
Reading a bit further, maybe a counter is what I need, such as 2008-01-13Boston001, etc. If I understand that correctly, as I import further pictures to that project, they will just continue the counter (002,003,etc). I only need to remember to reset the counter if I'm going to import into a different project (assuming I don't already have pics in the other project, in which case I would start the counter with the last number in the project + 1).
And returning to the date issue - is there a benefit in having the Date fields at the beginning of the file name? If you were searching for dates, wouldn't the search pull from the date info that is already inside the picture file?
Again, I'm asking for those with some years of experience under their belts, as to their opinions and any downfalls they see with my various schemes.
I should also mention that I'm thinking about letting Aperture "manage" the files, since I have about 100GB to import and I have a 1TB hard drive. If I run out down the road somewhere (I'll probably be dead before then. , then I'm thinking I can just transfer the library to an external and point to it there.
Thanks!
Mark

Hi Mark. You seem to have this pretty well thought through. I'll tell you what I do, just as foil to better refine your scheme, and then I post some comments further down in-line with your questions.
I use this Naming Convention every time I import my photos into Aperture:
(Image Date)_(Custom Name)_(Sequence Number)_(Master File Name).
I use a Referenced Masters storage system (highly rec'd for all but the most simple installations) with my raw files stored on an external HD. I have Aperture auto-file them by YYYY/MM/DD. I have deliberately built a degree of redundancy into my system. The general idea is that all images should have unique names, and I should be able to roughly identify and exactly re-file an file based on name alone.
(Image Date)
Starting with this allows me to easy sort files by file name. It is meaningful and useful to me and to the computer.
(Custom Name)
I store all my images in Aperture's Library in Projects based on shoots. Roughly, one Project per shoot. (If I have only two shots in a Project, I don't worry about it. If I have more than 60 (after stacking) I tend to break them into Albums within the Project.) "Custom Name" allows me to input two pieces of information per shoot which are important to me: "Shoot Name" and "Shoot Location". I type these into the field provided at the time of import as " ShootName_ShootLocation ". This allows me to keep a bit of useful descriptive text attached to the file (and available without opening or previewing it or even having it on my machine).
(Sequence Number)
Self-explanatory.
(Master File Name)
Useful when one has more than one camera at a shoot, and also should anything go wrong during import (I rotate cards and don't re-format them until I put them back in a camera).

Important: you are creating two separate filing schemes in your use of Aperture: one for files, and one for images. Imho, there is no reason to use any time- or date-based scheme for your image storage (date and time are hard-tagged to each image and Aperture provides ample tools to sort and filter by date and time (and day and month and year)).
Upon importing (I've just tried a few folders), I choses a naming scheme such as Boston2008-01-13_img7832.cr2. I left unchecked the rename Masters because I wasn't sure if that was a good idea or not. What do you think of this naming scheme?
I always rename Masters. There is no reason not to.
Or would you toss out the original file name and put the date in front - such as 2008-01-13_Boston.
Both. See above.
I'm kind of at a loss as to what down the road is going to be most beneficial when it comes to locating photos or to sorting methods.
Again, remember that are creating two distinct storage/filing/retrieval systems (files and images). Your file naming convention should be designed to help you locate and identify files outside of Aperture. Inside Aperture you can make extensive use of Folders, Projects, Albums, Keywords, Labels, and Flags to bring you whatever functionality you desire.
Are underscores necessary between the various components?
The time when this was useful because some computers couldn't handle spaces in file names is past. I do it out of habit.
I do mostly travel and nature photography and and have generally keyworded in the past to find my pictures. I've scanned forums, etc., but haven't found any really good advice on this. I'd appreciate any thoughts
Keyword extensively. Use keywords naturally and personally. Your keywords are for you to help you find your files. (Assuming you are not going to sell Stock Photos.)
Reading a bit further, maybe a counter is what I need, such as 2008-01-13Boston001, etc. If I understand that correctly, as I import further pictures to that project, they will just continue the counter (002,003,etc).
I don't think so. The counter, afaik, counts the number of images in the import.
I only need to remember to reset the counter if I'm going to import into a different project (assuming I don't already have pics in the other project, in which case I would start the counter with the last number in the project + 1).
Seems complicated and likely to fail due to user error.
And returning to the date issue - is there a benefit in having the Date fields at the beginning of the file name? If you were searching for dates, wouldn't the search pull from the date info that is already inside the picture file?
Inside Aperture, there is no advantage whatsoever. Outside Aperture, there is a significant advantage.
Again, I'm asking for those with some years of experience under their belts, as to their opinions and any downfalls they see with my various schemes.
I should also mention that I'm thinking about letting Aperture "manage" the files, since I have about 100GB to import and I have a 1TB hard drive. If I run out down the road somewhere (I'll probably be dead before then. , then I'm thinking I can just transfer the library to an external and point to it there.
Highly recommend a Referenced Masters system from the get-go. Terry Devlin (iirc) has many sensible posts on this here -- search the forum.
Thanks!

Custom File Name-Original File Number doesn't work. Why?

I want to export and rename some files with the "Custom File Name-Original File Number" option. Yet this doesn't seem to work, and I wondered what I might be doing wrong. The filename will only rename as the custom text.
The sample file name shown underneath has a dash after the custom text bit, but then the extension only eg Newname-.tif
I am now using LR 4.2 but I seem to remember doing this renaming OK with an earlier version (though I can't remember which). This suggest that either there is a problem with this specific version or that I have something set differently to the way I had it initially. I am hoping the latter is the case. Any suggestions as to how to fix this would be welcome!

I am sorry to report that i don't know how to create a screenshot. However, what I am getting, exact;ly is this:
From Library grid view: F2 or Library>Rename Photo
Then little screen appears with heading Rename Photo:
File Naming> set to Custom Name - Original File Number
Custom Text> NewFilenameHere
Example: NewFilenameHere-.tif
Clicking on OK changes the filename to just the custom text without the original file number. Original File name shows in metadata eg DSC01129-Edit.tif
The only way i seem to be able to get the original file number with the custom text is to include it manually as part of the custom text.

Dynamic file naming with File/FTP adapter

Hi all,
I have a requirement for writing files with names of the files based on a customer ID.... a dynamic name based on a value retrieved from the customer DB.
I have already tried using the dynamic file naming suggestion in the bpel dev guide, it does not work. I followed the instructions, the process fails to compile and throws "part" and "undefined variables" errors etc.
Has anyone succesfully used file/ftp adapter to write files with dynamic file names (using a varibale), not %SEQ% or %datetime% formats?
Thanks,
Hasan

You can create a header variable that will allow you to set the outbound file name inside the process. This variable is a message type. From the type chooser select:
Message Types
Partner Links
Outbound Partner Link
Outbound wsdl
Message Types
Imported WSDL
fileAdapterOutboundHeader.wsdl
OutboundHeader_msg
This variable will have a part filename.
Set this part to whatever you wish your file to be named.
Select the invoke to your outbound file/ftp partnerlink. Move to the adapters tab and select the header variable you created as the Input Header Variable.

Output CSV File Naming Convention - Receiver File Adapter

Dear SAP experts,
I need help regarding my scenario.
My scenario is this, Customer will send EDI message to XI. XI will then translate the message and convert it into XML.. After, a Receiver File Adapter will receive the XML then convert it into .csv file.
I've already configured the Receiver File Adapter to convert the XML into .csv file.
But, my problem now is how will I configure to have my output .csv file has a File Naming Convention.
The output .csv file must be "CustomerName_YearMonthDate".
From the EDI message, there is indicated Sender GLN in which, each customer has its own Sender GLN.
E.g., Globus --> 200, Karstadt --> 300, Metro --> 400.
How will I configure so that I can have an output .csv file of,
If Globus sends the EDI message, the output .csv file is Globus_20080304.csv.
If Karstadt, Karstadt_20080304.csv.
If Metro, Metro_20080304.csv.
Kindly advise for a clear and complete solution.
Thank you very much for your usual support.
Fred

Hi Nisar,
My target message (XML) in the mapping is this,
- <ns0:CSV>
    - <SLI>
           <PERIO> </PERIO>
           <ILN> </ILN?
           <EAN> </EAN>
perio, iln, and ean was rooted on SLI field. and the CSV is the rootnode of the target message.
I have created a UDF on the message mapping to accomodate the output customer name, here is the codes:
String fname="";
if(GLN.equals("23456"))
fname ="Globus" +dat;
else if(GLN.equals("5678"))
fname ="Karstadt"+dat;
else if(GLN.equals("6789"))
fname ="Metro"+dat;
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container
    .getTransformationParameters()
    .get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create(
    "http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File",
    "FileName");
    conf.put(key,fname );
E.g.,
Globus --> 23456 (Sender GLN)
Karstadt --> 5678 (Sender GLN)
Metro --> 6789 (Sender GLN)
This UDF i've made in the Message Mapping was mapped in the root node CSV.
Is this UDF correct?
Then on the File Receiver Configurations, here are the configs,
Transport Protocol: File System (NFS)

Kindly advise if my configs are correct.
Thank you very much!

Problem with File Naming when Importing in LR 3

When I previously imported in LR 2, under File Naming, I used a custom template:
{Custom Text}_{Date(YY)>>}_Sequence # (001)>>}. Sometimes I added custom text and it showed up in my file name and other times I didn’t and then the file name just included the Date and the Sequence # without the Custom Text.
I am having a problem when importing in LR 3. The dialog box on the right is now called File Renaming instead of File Naming. I am using the same Custom Template I used when importing in LR 2. There is a line in the dialog box for Custom Text as there was in LR 2. If I add a custom text name, it shows up at the beginning of the file name correctly as it did in LR 2. But if I leave it blank, you’ll remember in LR 2 the resultant file name just included the Date and Sequence #, but in LR 3 the file name now is “untitled_Date_Sequence #”.
How do I do this so it doesn’t have “untitled” in the file name?
Thanks,
Matthew Kraus

Thanks for reply. I am using Windows 7 64 bit. I am using 'Copy", not copy to DNG. There are 2 screen shots attached. The first screen shot is from LR2 and you can see there is no "untitled" in the file name example. The second is from LR3 and you can see "untitled" is in the first part of the file name in the example. Do you need any other information?
Tnaks,
Matthew Kraus

File naming issue/workflow help needed...

I shoot weddings and am continually frustrated with A2's file naming. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated as it's killing my workflow.
THE GOOD: I import the images with the file name I want and the metadata I want. I then edit out, deleting bad images and leaving borderline images (as outtakes) in the project while putting my selects together for the client in a smart album. I put the selects in a smart album based on their rating and keywords. The selects are not sequential, so I "select all" and make "batch change" putting them in sequence.
THE BAD: Here is where I always encounter my first problem. Any images I have have worked on (in Photoshop) for my website now have different names. So when I export all in the album, the worked-on versions don't fit in sequentially. And some stacks have the edited image on top, and others do not.
The other problem is when a bride places an order. I find the corresponding file and externally edit it. It now resides in the smart album with a different name than all the files around it. I put the print size in the exported version name and I have to open the dialog box for every single image and re-type the size in the custom name space. I have an order with 295 different images and it's killing me. The other problem is when the bride goes to re-order a print she has, the number on the back has no connection to the numbers on my site or the smart album.
I find I'm going back to Photomechanic more often just to organize and name images because it actually changes the name of the file instead of "masking" it as A2 seems to do.
Is there a way to keep A2 from doing this and how do I get the adjusted image to be the pick of the stack?
Thanks-Kevin

I happily paid the 20 bucks for 'A Better Finder Renamer' and was able to have it batch rename RAW files to my needs. It uses simple Boolean logic to cut or add to a file name and can read time stamps from the file.

I'm looking for the method to open the file and add 'cutom migration script' (some automatization).

Hi Poman.Pokrovskij,
When you generate SSMA Assessment Report, there are several files created and saved into Report folder under your SSMA project folder. It includes
source-metabase.mb, project-container.mappings, preferences.prefs, and so on.
. MD files are usually saved in plain text format including inline text symbols, defining how a text is formatted such as the indentations, its table formatting, fonts, and headers.
SSMA provides a project setting that allow you to customize how to set customized database migration. For example, to customize data migration SQL statement, you can modify project setting by navigating to Tools and choosing Project Settings,
then looking for the setting for
Extended Data Migration Options and change the value to
Show. You can select use custom select and modify the SQL statement.
For more information about SSMA for Oracle, you can review the following articles.How To Perform Incremental Data Migration Using SSMA:

Lightroom 2.1 Auto import file naming adding -1

I have used lightroom's (2.1) auto import function on 5 separate shoots with no problem. On my last shoot lightroom has been adding a "-1" to the file name. I am using "Custom name - Original File". So what used to be "Jen-1007" is now "Jen-1-1007", "Jen-1-1008", "Jen-1-1009", etc. I tried to use the other methods of naming but a -1 still comes up in some part of the file name. I would appreciate any help. Thanks

First I would check the file naming preset to make sure that it hasn't been accidentally edited, then I would choose a new empty location to write to (destination).
