Editing file names on Contact Sheet created via bridge

The text is overset on thecontact sheets I just made. Four hours into it and I do not want to start over. Maybe my head isn't working, but can I (and how?) change the font size on all these easily. Hoping someone can say "Of Course.... just do this..."

Do a search and have the Find Format find the exact type size, font and leading used in the captions.
Then go to the change format and chage it there.

ID Contact Sheet created in Bridge-not showing captions

I did this a million times, always showed captions automatically...Now it is not.
Any ideas, please?
Thank you all very much!

Oh, I'm sorry...I have a G5, Leopard, and CS3.

EPS files in ID contact sheets

Bridge CS2 on Mac OS 10.3.9
I am trying to produce ID contact sheets generated from Bridge's Tools menu of the images on a number of CDs of product photos, but have run into a snag.
I am having a recurrence of a problem once solved some time ago in that I cannot get the EPS files to print. I can SEE the EPS files in Bridge, but they will not print (unsupported file type or similar message). I know I had this problem some time back and someone provided a fix but I cannot find the old thread, nor understand why the process no longer works (no upgrades), and have forgotten how it was solved anyway (although I recall it was quite simple).
I have searched for a solution but cannot find one and I am hoping that someone knows how to fix it.

Lyn,
You'll need to find AdobeScriptLibrary1.jsx and AdobeScriptLibrary3.jsx and search both files for "contact".
At some place in one or both files will be something like "TYPES_CONTACT_SHEET" . That line will list a bunch of file extensions, just add "eps" to that list and it'll work.

Contact sheet 2 for bridge CS5

Contact Sheet 2 for Bridge has disappear from Bridge CS 5. Does someone know where I can get the plugin? Right know I have to go back to Bridge CS4 which is pretty annoying in my process. Thanks

It did not disappear from CS5 but already from CS4 and has been replaced
with the Output Module.
Only downside of the Output Module is you can only save them as a PDF file
but for the rest you have far more options to create your own customized
template (and in CS5 save this templates) for far more superior contact
sheets.
You did already placed the old contact script in the CS4 edition by
yourself. There is a workaround to get it again in CS5 only you have to use
PSCS5 in 32-bit mode because the old and long ago discontinued Contact Sheet
script is not compatible with the 64 bit mode PSCS5 is written in.
Find your CS4 Contactsheet plugin (Apllications / PSCS4 / Plug-ins/Automate/
ContactSheetII.plugin) and copy this to the same path in CS5
Wiith PSCS5 closed select the application icon and choose get info. Inhere
put a checkmark in front of 'start in 32 bit mode'.

To be honest, I was not pleased either first time they dropped
ContactSheetII. But after heaving explored the Output Module in Bridge and
getting used to it's nice options I really don't want to go back to the old
script...

How can I print the Album name along with the Contact Sheet created from the photos it contains?

I have my photos organized into albums. I would like to print a contact sheet for each album, but would like it to include the album name. This seems like a very basic part of organizing, but it's not overly apparent how to do it. I would also like to resize the caption font on the contact sheet, too. Any suggestions?

Thanks for your replies.
When you say "book creation," are you referring to the Photo Book option? Unless I can create a custom template, that seems somewhat limiting, as there are only a few templates to select from.
I'm trying to come up with a method to manage headshots of staff, the printout of which would be distributed to hotel and security personnel while our group travels (the included Photo Book templates are not appropriate for a straight-up, columnar layout like this requires). My thought was to keep each department's headshots in its respective Album, which could then be quickly printed and distributed. Staff for each department rotates in and out on a regular basis, and the Elements Organizer seemed like a good way to quickly add, caption and place into each Album the appropriate pictures. Contact Sheet printing seemed to be a quick way to accomplish this, but I was hoping to get the Album name (i.e. department name) at the top of the printout.
I printed the contact sheet to a PDF (I have Acrobat Pro XI), then inserted it into a Word doc, as you suggested. While it does allow for headers, etc. it does add a couple of additional steps to the process, but more importantly, I'm finding that the image captions in the PDF are blurred, and not crisp enough to read easily (it may be better if I had font control in the PE Contact Sheet).
So maybe I need more of a desktop publishing app (more than I was wanting to spend), but the Organizer gives me a good process for quickly managing my photos.
Any other suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated.

File names are not being created correctly!!

Problem I have, and it seems to be an issue with iTunes in Windows and not Mac or in Windows Media Player for that matter.
Anyway, the problem is that the files are not being written as they are displayed in the Album Data in iTunes itself. It just appears as though iTunes will create any length of file name it wants and not the one that you create??
The reason I have an issue with this, is because I am trying to create one large album directory on an external Hard Drive connected to my Router so that any machine I have on the network can access it from there as opposed to creating a directory on every single machine.
I have a tone of discs that I am loading up and just felt that having one large directory on a networked drive would be the best route to take.
The machines I will be using to access the files using iTunes is my Mac Mini and my Windows PC depending on what room I am in, and then probably a few other devices scattered around the house to make up a Media network.
Anyway, the issue is with the file names.
It just seems that Windows iTunes wants to create whatever file name size it pleases, where as Mac iTunes and Windows Media Player seem to create the files as listed in the Track List and Album File Data.
It would seem that Windows iTunes has a serious bug in it's File Structure Handling which is a pain in the proverbial.
Just to test this out, I created the same Album both in Windows and Mac and the Mac version had the full file name structure but the PC one doesn't, however, Windows Media Player created it exactly the same as Mac iTunes.
It definitely appears as though there is an issue with iTunes in Windows, because it creates other albums without a problem. It just seems to pick and choose as it pleases.
Anyone else get this or know if there is a way to fix it??

I'm not sure what you mean. Perhaps if you gave a specific example?
I put my CD's into iTunes so that they go in Album Format with the albums in seperate folders and the song names as they are retrieved from the internet, so that they are not songs all in one long Directory Listing. (Unless of course there is another way of using iTunes??)
When using iTunes on Mac or the Windows Media Player, all the songs are loaded onto the computer as they are written in the descriptions downloaded from the web.
Example in Directory format:
Artist Album Song Name
Queen - Innuendo - 08 These Are The Days Of Our Lives
This works fine in Mac iTunes or Windows Media Player. However, if I'm using iTunes in Windows, it may give me the following,
Artist Album Song Name
Queen - Innuendo - 08 These Are The Days O
Now, that is just an example and not a song that is affected, but it gives you an idea of what happens. It appears to happen on any Album and File Name combinations, and only appears to happen when using iTunes in Windows. The much longer filename and album names seem to be far more affected and I think this is to do with Windows Naming structure, but it doesn't explain why it's not happening in Windows Media Player??
The problem with this, is that when trying to use the same File Directory stored on my external Networked HDD for both Apple and Windows iTunes, the Windows version is causing havoc by doing what it wants where as the Apple iTunes seems to work as intended.
So when it comes to using either to rip a new CD to the library, I have to start using the Mac Mini each time because it seems to not be causing any issues when ripping discs.
I'm still in the process of sorting out my Album Directory and having to load everything up on the iMac so that everything gets loaded properly, but this seems to be a really bad bug in iTunes.
The reason I want to use this external NAS HDD is to keep my data in one area as opposed to having two large directories for both machine formats.
I hope that is a little more clear on what is happening.
P.S. Just to add to this. I prefer to use the PC for CD Ripping because the CD Drive is much faster than my Mac Mini and doesn't get anywhere near as hot when used constantly. I can rip 20 albums or more on my PC in the time it takes to sometimes rip just 5 to 10 on my Mac Mini, which is why I wanted this to work properly on the Windows version of iTunes.

Can't Select/Edit File Name Text - they go blank

Sometimes when I try to select a file name to edit it, the name disappears when I first click it. This often happens in list view. If I switch to icon view, most of the times, but not always, I can then select the file name text. Sometimes if I switch back to list view, then I can select the file name text as expected, but again not always.
It is intermittent so I can't give any consistent info on how or when it happens.
Thanks,
Steven

Try this. Select the file and hit the enter key. Does that highlight the name without deleting it? If so, adjust your mouse click settings and see if that fixes the problem. If not, create a new admin account, log into, and see if the problem's gone. Report back.

Printing file & caption on contact sheet- Problem seeing full string

I am attempting to print a two column, 4 row contact sheet with file name & caption below the image. I can tweak the cell spacing vertical size slider which reduces the size of the image and can see all the file name & caption, which may be 2-3 lines. I have selected file & caption along with a space after the string in the photo info section on the right and clicked done, then control clicked and saved template settings. I can print that sheet with all info. When I switch to another group of images using that saved template, all I can see is a single line of text. If I slightly tweak the vertical size slider, the image becomes a bit smaller and I can see the full text string, but in order to see full file & caption info, I have to tweak the slider for each sheet. If I go back to the previous group of images, the image is larger, I see a single line of text and I have to re-tweak the vertical size slider. I have a large number of sheets to print with file & caption info. How do I configure settings so I can save the full text string and don't have to tweak each sheet.

Ben3C,
I have found the same problem. What I have done is saved a template with the number of colums and rows desired. I went into the 'Photo Info'under the Page area and using custom set up what I want to be printed below each image. As I said, this is saved as a template. Then when I select a group of images to print I select the previously displayed template. This is when the caption will revert to only one line. Then just select a different template (I usually select the filename. Then reselect your custome template that you built. All the lines of the caption will then show and print. I have printed contact sheets with up to 10 rows of information and Lightroom will automatically resize the image so both the image and caption will fit within the cell area.
Hope this helps -- dbmazz

How to remove "Version Name" from contact sheets

When printing contact sheets, how do you remove the words"Version Name" from under each photo.
I just want my image numbers to be there such as JJC_3795. As it appears now is reads, Version Name:
JJC_3795. I went to Presets then to File Names hoping this would fix it, but can't figure out how to make that change. Maybe it's not possible???
Any help would be appreciated.

I don't think it is possible. What I have done is print to PDF and then (in Acrobat Pro) covered the "version name" part with a blank text field, white background, and done the physical printing from Acrobat.

Need to add date/time stamp to file name without time change creating new files

We have setup our application to save data once a trigger event occurs. We also need the date/time stamp as part of the file name. We used Format Date/Time String and concatenated it into the file name. It all works good, but as the time changes (seconds, minutes, etc.) it causes the Write to File to create a new file with the new filename. Is there a way to create the file and save/latch/buffer the time in the file name so that it doesn't create a new file for every second?
I've attached a shot of the relevant part of our VI. It's all in a big while loop. The data save is in a case/switch so that when it is triggered it starts saving. (The for loop is to split the data up
into 4 different files). Like I said, it all works except new files are created every second as the time changes instead of just putting it all in one file with the initial time in the file name.

I need a loop in order to use a shift register. I cannot stop the outer while loop (because it would stop the hardware from collecting data), and I cannot add loops inside which bogs down the processor to where the app stops. I've attached a simpler version of my VI which illustrates the problem. While the button is pressed (the trigger) it should save the data (in this case just cycle numbers) into one file with the initial date/time. But, you can see that it creates 1 file/second. I tried using shift registers, but without adding extra loops I can't see how to do it. Thanks

Special Characters in the file name in Data Driven Subscription via File Share

Hi,
I am trying to create a Data Driven Subscription with option to delivery as windows file share in SQL server 2005. I need to save the report as a pdf with the following file name '[City] City_Name', but it errors out and it is because of the
Square Brackets. Is there any way i can save the file using the Square brackets as i mentioned above.
I am using a query to get the filename and filepath. It works fine as long as i do not have [], but i need to save the file as i mentioned along with the Square Brackets.
Please help.

Hello,
I can reproduce the issue on my test environment: When I create a Data Driven Subscription and specify the report name by get from a subscription delivery table, and the value of the "report name" column contains square brackets. The subscription failed
with following error in the error log:
ERROR: Error occurred processing subscription ab9523a6-0256-4607-b818-a7666204d018:
The file name is not valid. Avoid using special characters such as /\?*:<>|+,[]"& in the file name.

file name., DeliveryExtension: Report Server FileShare, Report: Report6, Attempt 0
It seems that the behavior is by design. please avoid using square brackets as file name. Maybe you can try to use parentheses () instead.

File Name not set when creating new file in EP 6.0 SPS20

Hi,
We recently upgraded from EP6 SP15 to SP20. Now when I create a new file or folder in a KM folder, the name that I give for the resource is not taken into account. The display name of the newly created resource will be New Text or New HTML Document or New Folder, etc. Even if I open the Properties and change it there, it is not getting reflected. But if I select Rename from the Context menu and give a new name, it gets set. What could be the problem?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
It was an issue with the customized PropertiesControl class.

Editing File Names

Anyone know if there is a way to DELETE the first few letters at the begining or the end of a file name? I am mostly dealing with audio files. So if there is another program that does this please let me know.
I have tons of audio files that need to be edited. Thank you guys

I recommend command line utilities (run by Run Shell Script.action). You can then phrase your question in very specific terms and ask in the UNIX section of these fora. By using the command line tools, you should be able to accomplish everything you need. (OS X includes a slew of command line utilities - or programs, that most users don't venture into)

Why did Adobe get rid of making nice neat PDF contact sheets directly in Bridge??

I know there is an output module, but it is not really any help! It still uses photoshop to create multiple seperate PSD files and takes forever! It is VERY important at my job to make contact sheets, we need them to go through hundreds of pictures. Why can't you just bring back making it straight in Bridge? It was so much faster and convenient. I cannot afford to wait while Photoshop generates 50 pages of 8 thumbnails for me as it ties up my computer, not to mention the steps to convert those files into one nice pdf. It is incredibly frustrating! Just makes no sense Adobe would do this??

I know there is an output module, but it is not really any help! It still uses photoshop to create multiple seperate PSD files and takes forever!
Not sure I understand your problem but I guess you have Bridge CC and now you don't have the option to use the Adobe Output Module? The output module you are talking about is the old contact sheet script that indeed produces loose sheets (PSD, but also jpeg) and can take a while depending on your settings.
But you still have the option to install the Output Module for Bridge CC again, but you have to do it yourself, it can be downloaded via this link but you should first read the instructions carefully because it needs some attention. With the Output module you can use Bridge again to create PDF documents with many pages and custom lay out.:
