Display File Extension in iPhoto?

I've just started to use iphoto.  In the thumbnail view of an event (or for that matter, anytime I'm viewing a display of thumbnails), I would like iphoto to display file name and file extension.  It's not doing that and I can't see a setting in iphoto preferences to enable file extensions.  I know there's a Finder preference to show all extensions, and it is checked.
Is there a way to display file extensions?

Yes.
Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop.  When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done. 
3 - however, if you get the navigation window
that indicates that  PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file.  You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements  the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.  In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Note 1: screenshots are from PSE 10
Note:  to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.

  • Can I force iTunes to display file extensions?

    I just downloaded iTunes  yesterday.  It's my first experience with the program.
    Can I force iTunes to display file extensions?  If so, how?
    For example, when converting an MP4 audio file to an MP3 one, neither shows its extension, and so the two files appear the same within iTunes.

    I wrote a program for Windows to embed the downloaded
    artwork into the file. Please note, embedding the
    artwork takes up more disk space; Apple's method of
    NOT embeddeding it means they only have one copy of
    the artwork. Embedding the artwork takes up X times
    as much space, where X is the number of tracks for
    that album. (e.g. if the album artwork is 500 KB,
    and you have 10 tracks, the disk space consumed is
    10*500KB or 5000 KB (~5MB))
    http://home.comcast.net/~teridon73/itunesscripts/itune
    sinsertartwork.zip
    That sounds exactly like something I am looking for. Yes, I realize that I am sacrificing disk space to do this - but I have a lot of space to spare on my iPod and I am really tired of redownloading artwork when I change the way I organize my files (or God forbid I have to do a full restore at some point).
    I am running your tool now and it looks to me like it works great! Thanks for posting it, I truly appreciate it. Do you know of any sites where people develop these kinds of tools for iTunes (I suspect you participate in one or more of these).
    One question - from the looks of it, you do handle the case where I have already embedded my own artwork in files (for those that are not in the Apple iTunes library). Does iTunes actually put that image in its database (the one I embedded) or did you have to allow for that in your utility? Just curious.
    Thanks a LOT for that utility!

  • How to display file extensions

    Hi,
    I'm trying to get our Sharepoint 2013 server to show file extensions again and I've had no luck so far. I've been able to add an extra name column that shows the file extension (like ), but that name is not clickable anymore so I've ended up with one name
    that's a link and the same name next to it. This doesn't look good, especially when the users pick overly long file names.
    This (http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/11161.how-to-display-file-extensions-in-a-sharepoint-document-library.aspx) seems to apply to Sharepoint 2007 only. I'm not sure which onet.xml file they mean and the default file has several
    occurences of "Name=”Created_x0020_Date”", or how adding
    Name=”File_x0020_Type”/> without an extra opening bracket would work.
    I've also found and tried this solution: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/59c15eee-9116-4aa1-8d16-32cd361c9a2f/show-file-extensions-in-document-library?forum=sharepointcustomizationprevious
    >>3. Edit the WebPartPages:XsltListViewWebPart so that the link contains the extension.
    >>a. Open SharePoint Designer and click on the desired document library.
    >>b. Open the View you want to change, which in most cases is "All Documents".
    >>c. Find the line that looks like this:
    >><xsl:value-of select="$thisNode/@FileLeafRef.Name" />
    >>d. Edit the line to look like this:  (the xsl:if tests to see if the suffix is not blank and then displays a '.' and the suffix)
    >><xsl:value-of select="$thisNode/@FileLeafRef.Name" /><xsl:if test="$thisNode/@FileLeafRef.Suffix!=''">.<xsl:value-of select="$thisNode/@FileLeafRef.Suffix" /></xsl:if>
    This doesn't seem to work with Sharepoint 2013 because the line <xsl:value-of select="$thisNode/@FileLeafRef.Name" /> doesn't seem to exist. Are there any other suggestions on how to get the file extensions to show?
    Thank you.

    Hi
    use these functions
    RIGHT (Text, Number)
    Return X characters from the right
    RIGHT(“The Quick Brown Fox”, 5)
    n
    SEARCH(Text1, Text2, Num)
    Returns the index of Text1 within Text2,starting the search at index Number
    Formula should be
    right([Name-column],search[".",[Name-column],1))
    More info regarding calculated columns

  • Displaying file extension and "raw" tag in iPhoto 08

    In iPhoto 06, filenames were displayed with their extensions and a "raw" tag was added.
    In 08, the "title" field doesn't contain the file extension. Is this a result of the way I imported photos into 08? I used "import" to bring them in from folders on a network drive.
    Glenn

    I right clicked the RAW file, then chose "edit in separate window". I did crop, contrast, sharpen, etc. Then the "Done" button.
    For example, I imported both RAW and JPEG from my CF card to iPhoto. They are IMG_3067.CR2 and IMG_3067.JPG, respectively. I then duplicated the first file and renamed the new one as IMG_7777.CR2. I did the edit like mentioned above on IMG_7777.CR2. Finally I clicked "Done". You can see that IMG_7777.CR2 differs from IMG_3067.CR2 but it still has the CR2 file extension.
    Is this normal or I missed something here?

  • File Extensions in iPhoto

    I've read all of the discussions that are available on this subject.  Here is my question.
    Is there a preference or another way, which will include the file extension in the image file name when it is imported into iPhoto?  The extension is on the file when I import it.
    I want to keep it visible.
    Can this be done?
    Mary Lou

    Couple of things:
    In the Info Window (click on the 'i' button) you can see the Kind
    Or you can use Smart Albums based on Kind too

  • IPhoto 11 and Picture file extensions

    Since upgrading to iPhoto 9.2.1, I've noticed that after importing, iPhoto no longer displays the picture's file extension below the pic, or in the information window.  All my files have a .CR2 extension when they are imported.  All pictures that were in the iPhoto llibrary, prior to upgrade to 9.2.1, display their file extensions below the pic, and in the information window.
    I've not been able to locate a preference that allows me to display the file extension in iPhoto...  Is it no longer possible to see the file extension in this version of iPhoto?
    Thanks,
    Bob

    I have connection issues with my AppleTV and it seams to disconnect routinely.  I haven't used it much and am trying to resolve that issue as well.  Separate from that, how do you interface directly with AppleTV.
    And by the way Bob, I'm at the point where I am rebuilding my files via another post...  Currently on step 1, and if that doesn't work, I'm going to export the entire library to a folder and then group it by file type to narrow down and change the format via preview and replace the files deleting the originals.
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4 as needed.
    If #1 fails continue with:
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Show file type in iPhoto

    I'm sure I used to be able to see the file extension in iPhoto 9.4.3 e.g. .jpg or .tif  etc. Is there a way to turn this off or on in Photos view?

    You should see it in the panel on top of the info panel:
    Doesn't the file extension show there?

  • IPhoto file extension

    Hi All,
    I have been looking through my Events on iPhoto. I think I originally installed v8. Anyway, my filenames are showing the extension ie dsc_0123.jpg as the filename. However, my more recent events are not showing the file extension. Its annoying as I have .jpg and .nef files. Did Apple change this at some point and if so, is there any way I can display them in my recent events? I have tried a batch change where I have tried to set the title to the filename but it doesn't work.
    Thanks in advance.

    Click on the wee 'i' lower left and use the Info Pane t tell you what each file is.
    Also, the NEFs are automatically tagged with a keyword: RAW.
    Regards
    TD

  • Thanks for the help...iPhoto 11 on my Pro isn't recognizing the .nef file extension.  Advice?

    I'm importing photos from a Nikon d5200 in RAW format and iPhoto says it doesn't recognize that file extension (.nef).  The movie files came off just fine.  And when the initial window comes up in iPhoto asking if I want to import all photos or just the selected ones, I can see all the RAW file images as usual.  They just won't import.

    What version of iPhoto? Has this Nikon RAW ever worked with your Mac and this version of iPhoto?
    You need iPhoto '11 version 9.4 or higher for RAW support for the D5200 - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4757

  • IPhoto changing file extension...

    I use a very old version of Photoshop (Adobe PS CS Version 8) for digital scrapbooking.  I store all of my files on an EHD because I have thousands, and I don't want to slow down my computer's performance.  It had been hooked up to my desktop, but I recently started attaching it to my MacBook because that has become my main computer.  When I hooked it up, I had to update my iPhoto libraries to work with my MacBook's version of iPhoto ('11).  So I did.  Now when I try to open my files, I get the error message that an invalid JPEG marker type is found.  Most of the files, aren't even jpegs, they are pngs or psds.
    It appears that when I try to open a file, iPhoto is duplicating it and giving it a jpeg extension, which is unreadable by Photoshop.  Is there any way to stop this from happening?  If not, can I undo what I've done and reattach it to my old computer?  I'm talking THOUSANDS of files!
    Thanks for any/all of your help!

    Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
    A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
    A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.

  • Display the file extension?

    Is there a way to display the file extension? I want to tag some as PSD files and I want to delete all gif files. Currently I am opening each in Photoshop elements to get the extension, which is very cumbersome. I know I can see the extension in finder, but I cannot assign keywords in finder.

  • How to display names without file extension in Content Query Web Part in SharePoint 2010

    I try to display names in Content Query Web Part  but it shows file extension. I cannot find a way in CQWP editor that can exclude file extension.  Is there a way to display names excluding file extensions thru settings in the CQWP editor?
    I have to edit the code in SharePoint Designer, right?
    Thanks in advance for any tips!

    In the file ContentQueryMain you have already a function to get the file without extension.
    So we just can use this:
    <xsl:call-template name="OuterTemplate.GetFileNameWithoutExtension">
    <xsl:with-param name="input" select="$DisplayTitle" />
    </xsl:call-template>

  • Hide file extension from display in the iview

    Hello my friends,
    I display KM folder content in an iView in my portal. I want to hide the files extension but I just cann't find out how to do it.
    Thanks in advance,
    Udi Dekel.

    Hi Udi,
    There is no such standard feature, but at least one possible workarounds:
    - You may use a display name like "MyDocument" and the ID will be "MyDocument.doc" or whatever. The standard ResourceRenderer render the display name (with the ID as a tooltip)
    A "solution" for all cases where the display name has got the file extension in its name would be to write your own property renderer for the display names, which then checks if there is a file extension, and if, then cut this off.
    Hope it helps

  • JFileChooser - unable to disable file extension display

    Hello All,
    I'm trying to use JFileChooser in my Swing application with following conditions:
    1) Only xml files will be displayed
    2) the file names shall NOT be shown with their extension. That is - listing of XML files shall occur only by their name - "abc" and not "abc.xml"
    I've already acheived the 1st objective.
    However, I am unable to block the display of file extension when JFileChooser opens.
    Has the display of file extension got to do with Operating System feature?
    Is there a way in Java Swings to curb such a a display?
    Thanks

    Implement your own FileView class (you can extend any of the L&F FileViews), then pass the object to:
    JFileChooser::setFileView(FileView fileView);
    Hint: The method you want to override is getName(File file).

  • Viewing file extensions as part of photo name?

    How can I set iPhoto to display the extension of every photo in every view where it displays the photo name? I often have several versions of a photo, which look very similar in thumbnail views. The only way I know to see which is the RAW file, which is the jpeg or tiff or even Photoshop file, is to right-click, or to keep the rather large and annoying Extended Photo Info box open. Isn't there some way to simply show all filenames with their extensions attached, so that I could look in any Event or Album and see at a glance which one is the .cr2 or .jpg or .tif etc? I certainly don't want to create albums with just the jpegs and more albums with just the RAW files. I like having them together but it's a nuisance and a time-waster not to be able to just read the file names to know which is which. SURELY there is a way!
