Export file naming bug

If the version name of an image is empty and you export that image and select Name Format as 'current version name', Aperture will do the export and the resultant file created has only the filetype extension as is name. The finder under normal conditions will not show the file because it appears as a hidden file.

Regarding item 1, the pins can be visible or not visible or conditionally visible. The option to do this is at the lower left of the tool-options bar available when you press the T key to toggle it on and off. If you feel your pin-visibility options are set properly, please show a print-screen with the pins not there and the pin-visibility options set to Always.
Not sure about item 2 as I don’t use it.

Batch Exporting File Naming Issue

I have to batch export about 30 images at a time, but I am having an issue now that the "Export" piece of the action includes a specific file name in the "save in" property, where as it's supposed to only include the name of the containing folder. This causes all the images included in the batch to be saved with the same file name thus saving over the previous export each time. I cannot figure out how to execute the Save for Web and devices action without it recording the specific file name.
My process is:
- Open one image
- Create a new Action (it begins recording)
- Crop the image
- Save for Web and devices (I leave the file name as is, but save it to a different folder) Ex. "annoying_child_screaming.jpeg"
- Close without saving
- Stop the action
- File > Automate > Batch
- I select the source folder with all the original photos
- Specify a Destination folder (a different folder where all the cropped ones will be)
- I don't select any checkboxes
- File Naming: I leave the default "Document Name" + "extension" Starting serial#: 1
When I hit okay, I can see Photoshop going through each image and doing the specified actions, but instead of preserving the original file name, it saves each one with the file name that I saved the first one when originally creating the action (Ex. it rewrites "annoying_child_screaming.jpeg" for each file)
I just upgraded to CS5 from CS4 (where I hadn't been having this problem). I have compared my settings to a coworker's who's computer it does work on, but we can't figure out what's wrong. The difference is in the Export details in the Actions dialog box - where it has the "IN" property, usually only a folder location is specified, but on my comp, it also specifies the file name.
Please help.

When you record the save for web step use the original file name
(you noted you did that in post 1)
Is the name you used the same as the file
you opened when recording the save for web step?
Don't specify any destination in the batch dialog or the files will possibly
be overwritten and you'll see the results your seeing.
The destination is the folder you specified during the save for web step while recording the action.

Aspect Ratio Sort and Export (File Naming)

When I crop my photos, I sometimes find that some photos work best in the 4x5/8x10 crop and others in a 2x3/4x6 aspect ratio.
Issue #1) How can I sort and find all of my images with a specific aspect ratio?
When in the Library module and setting up a filter (ctrl+f), I don't see any way to filter and sort out my aspect ratio. In the "Metadata - Label" filter fields, there is an "Aspect Ratio" value however the only options are Portrait and Landscape. (more of a photo/page layout than 'aspect ratio' to me)
** Feature Request: Please add "Aspect Ratio" options (just as presented with "r" is pressed for resize) in the Library Filter Metadata. **
Issue #2) How can I include the aspect ratio of the image (e.g. 4x5) in the exported file name?
I don't see any way to to do this either, so I have to manually find all of the images with the same aspect ratio first, then set a Custom Name field for export and export each ratio at a time.
** Feature Request: Please add "Aspect Ratio" options to the file naming fields available for selection when exporting images. Values like "4x5" and "4x6" would be great to be able to include in the filename of my images.
Regards,
Brian

CS2 pdf export file naming

When exporting to pdf, the pdf is not given the indesign file name but uses the previously saved name which then has to be manually altered. Can not find in preferences where to change this. Any suggestions?

Every person is entitled to an opinion. Everyone else is entitled to agree or disagree.
In my real world workflow, the ideal would be that the PDF file defaults to the current name of the file... not a name that could have been a one time export, or could have been an export of an older version last month, or last year.
Instead of honoring the current filename, it 'remembers' the first name that the export is changed to if the file is saved after the export. The waste of time comes in when I have to then 'fix' the file for future revisions, or retype the name of the file.
Again, I don't agree with calling it a waste of time to have InDesign behave the way the user desires.
If you want it to call a file by the last export name... great, it happens to work that way if you save after exporting.
If you happen to want it to use the filename as the export name, well, then you have to either not save after any export, or waste your time fixing what is broken (my opinion).
Perhaps an option or preference is warranted?
"use indesign filename when exporting"
"use last export name when exporting"

PNG export file naming

When I export to PNG, the file is automatically assigned 01 to the filename. I need to eliminate this and just over write the existing file. How do I make this happen?

5.4 Adjustment brus bug + File export naming bug

There appear to be two bugs in 5.4
1. I just finished editing an intense adjustment brush edit. I went to tweek it when I opened the brush there are no pins to activate even though the edits are there.
2. Export file naming not working correctly. I always use export "Title plus file number" or "Custom name - original file number" Neither of these exports include the file number.
3. Did 5.4 change somthing in the configuration settings. If not, is there a way to restore 5.3 until these bugs are fixed.

Hello,
If you've not already solved this, let me ask a couple q's:
What tool are you running this report through for the export (it sounds like you're wanting to automate the process)?
Is it Business Object XI or Crystal Enterprise or simply manually exporting it using the CR designer program or...?

Export presets do not save file naming template

I don't know if this is a bug or a missing feature so I'll post here first, then submit a bug report if necessary. I have done a search first but not found anything relevant.
When you create an Export Preset, LR does not save the File Naming Template you want to use with it, the template is always whichever you used last. Seems a bit odd because you might want to use different filenaming conventions depending on what you are doing with the export, eg. different names for proofs, web galleries, etc.
However, if I am missing something, please me let me know.
Kind regards,
mcv

That's what I see also but what I meant was that two 'options' down, you can choose what 'File Naming' template to use, eg. Filename, Custom Text (x of y), etc. These don't get saved with your Export Preset, they stay the same as the last one you used. At least on my Windows version.
I don't know how you do enclosures like you did, so I'm linking to the images instead to show you what I mean.
While I was taking screenshots of this I noticed some other peculiar behaviour. It seems that the preset DOES actually save the filenaming template but doesn't show you this. I'll explain as follows:
Here I have a template for full size JPEGs, I invented some custom text and that's why the preset says 'edited'.
http://www.mcvphotography.co.uk/imgs/gallery/4295_168305550246ba83c417104.jpg
Here I have changed the preset but the File Naming template appears to have stayed the same, though it does show a 'preview' (01.jpg).
http://www.mcvphotography.co.uk/imgs/gallery/4295_56540006946ba83c532d43.jpg
However, this is odd - I moved the mouse over the custom text box and the words instantly changed to the words I had last used (Castafo is the name of a band). I had not saved the name of the band in the template.
http://www.mcvphotography.co.uk/imgs/gallery/4295_117289421846ba83c645133.jpg
Lastly, I tried another preset and again it appears the template is the same but the 'preview' is correct. Mouseing over did not change any text.
http://www.mcvphotography.co.uk/imgs/gallery/4295_168262086846ba83c76e439.jpg
Pretty weird and inconsistent behaviour, don't you think? The software that is, not me - I already know about me(!)
I always keep an eye on the preview anyway so no big deal but do you have any thoughts Ian, or anyone else?
Thanks,
mcv

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.

.tpz files naming convention / export from PI 7.0

Hi,
When I export the repository or Directory content from PI 7.0 the naming convention PI gives its own naming convention. Starting wit XI3_0 * .tpz
Why does it start with XI3_0*.tpz for we have PI 7.0?
Do we need to change any Visual admin or exchange profile parameter to get the naming convention to PI7_0*.tpz
Thanks
Sachin

Hi,
The import and export functionality of XI 7.0 uses the expression 'XI 3.0' instead of 'XI 7.0' in all transport screens of the Integration Builder. Furthermore the name of XI 7.0 exports will always start with the prefix 'XI_3_0' and not 'XI_7_0'.
<b>Reason and Prerequisites</b>
The reason for this behaviour is that the transport code and format of XI 7.0 and XI 3.0 is identical.
<b>Solution</b>
There is no fix for the naming convention, but there is a positive consequence: XI 3.0 export files can be produced by XI 3.0 and XI 7.0 and can be imported into XI 3.0 and XI 7.0.
Refrence Note
Note 936254 - XI 3.0 Imports and Export in XI 7.0

Export for the Web and File Naming : Batch problem in Photoshop CC

Is it possible to use "File Naming" when you are using in a batch "Save for the Web" export ?
What I want to do:
I have images that I need to resize, crop and rename (change "filename.jpg" to "filename_850x490.jpg" and make an optimisation for the web
I want to create an action that I can use in a batch
What is working :
I can use my action (resize, crop, save) and use file renaming option if I use "save as" options
I can use my action (resize, crop, save for the web ...) but the file renaming option are not use at the export,
So I have to create two actions (one for resize, crop and rename and an other to compress images with "save for the web"
==> What's wrong with "File rename" and "save for the web"?
Thank You for support !
My Environement :
Photoshop CC : last update
OS : Windows 8 Entreprise - 64 bits
Proc : Intel Xeon CPU E5 3.00 GHz - Ram : 8 GB - GPU : AMD FirePro V5900 (FireGL V)

Probably a lot easier if you use the Image Processor Pro script

[BUG] Reports vanishes and Export File cant be imported

Hi,
I do not know where to report a Bug for the SQL Developer, so i will do it here. (May be you should consider of creating such a WebPage as Part of the SQlDeveloper excange).
Description of the Bug:
I experienced already twice a loss of all my UserDefinded Reports in the SQLDeveloper. I start the SQLDeveloper and all my Reoprts are gone - no idea why. So because this already happend to me, I alwyays Exported my reports into a File. As ist ahppend again, i tryied to import my Reports into the SQLDeveloper, But when I click on "Import" In the Context Menu a FileDialog with the Title "Save" does open up. I then can choose my Import File and confirm it but it does not get imported, neigther does the export File get changes or so ...
I do not have any Idea what happend there, but I miss my reports very much!!!!!
regards
Joachim

Hi Joachim,
I'll address the logistics question first. Where to log bugs:
For the production software, you can log bugs through Metalink, if you have a Database Suppport License. This is the reason we do have a section on the Exchange for logging bugs. For any evaluation software releases we do, you can log bugs here on the forum.
If you are working between the evaluation release and the production release, your reports will disappear in the Production release. (See the 'before you install' in the Getting Started doc on our homepage). It sounds like the UserReports.xml file in the .sqldeveloper folder is being corrupted.
There is one thing I do to save reports I want to keep. I export the reports and save that file to another directory. Then go into Tools -> Preferences - Database -> User Defined Extensions. Now Add a row. Click in the "Type" field and select "Report" . Click in the Location field and browse for your file. (This is only available in 1.1 - you can do it in 1.1.0.21.97)
You need to click away from this filed to pick up that change. Then click OK. If you restart SQL Developer, you'll see a new folder called "Shared Reports". In the current evaluation release 1.1.0.21.97, only the Shared Reports folder is added, you still need to import the reports xml file. In subsequent builds and in the next build you'll have access to, the file of reports is open under this Shared Reports folder. These reports are not editable, but they are safe.
So you have a method for keeping your reports safe.
Regards
Sue

Exporting files always named Page 1?

Hi there, I'm a new user to Fireworks and I find whenever I'm exporting a slice as a gif, jpeg etc no matter what I name the file it always exports it named 'Page 1'. Any ideas?
Thanks muchly!

Sorry last picture, this is the last picture. The file stopped exporting at about 4.3 GB, Final Cut stating that it does not support audio files bigger than 4 GB.
I'm assuming my problem is just a small abnormality, and there were many ways to work around it. I was just hoping I could figure out why! But thanks for your help in any case!

The export file from a calc script - naming and date/time stamp

Here is a simple calc script to export data.
2 questions:
1. Is there an easy way to add a date/time stamp on the name of the data file so that it does not overwrite the older ones every time?
2. I tried to specify the path so that it write to another server. "\\mfldappp011\E:\Exp_AW.txt". It's not working. How should I specify the path ?
Fix (@Relative("Yeartotal",0),"Actual","Working",&ActualYear);
Dataexport "file" "," "C:\Exp_AW.txt" "#MI";
EndFix;
Edited by: user9959627 on Sep 7, 2012 11:25 AM

Probably easiest to call the maxl script from a command line script, then rename the exported file to include the tme stamp and copy/move it to a location.
Cheers

Photoshop (all versions): Inconsistency/Bug in automatic File Naming algorithm

Hello,
I discovered this problem in PS CS3 and CS5 (don't have CS4) after a student of mine found it in PS Elements 8. Here's one way to replicate the issue:
1) Open any image in Camera Raw. Let's call that file FILENAME.dng
2) Click "Save Image" button on the left
3) "Save Options" window opens
4) Under "File Naming" there are several drop-down boxes. The first box is filled in with "Document Name" as the variable. Leave that alone and move to next box to the right.
5) In this box, select the variable named "2 Digit Serial Number."
6) Now, in that SAME box right after the word "Number," click after the "r" (at the end) and enter a hyphen "-"
7) Look above the boxes and it shows you are about to rename the file "FILENAME2 Digit Serial Number-.dng"
8) The term "2 Digit Serial Number" is now part of the file name (with a hypen at the end).
This should never happen because it's mixing variables and constants. Plus, most importantly, nobody would EVER type ANY of the drop-down values as a file name. And, if someone did type in the hyphen at the end (like my student did), she obviously intended it to be a 2 digit number followed by a hypen and not the term "2 Digital Serial Number-."
There may be other places in the software that use this file naming algorithm, too. For instance, in PS Elements 8, it cn be found also found under File>Process Multiple Files.
This isn't a big issue, I know, but it should be fixed.
I am primarily looking for a response from Adobe personnel.
Thanks,
Mike

I did some tests and was unable to get it to work even with RAW. (perhaps it was just me) I did get it to work with multiple images being sent to "Merge to Panorama in Photoshop CS4" In all other cases, LR wants to control the naming. You end up with a file sent to PS with a LR controlled name added automatically to the LR catalog. (this is a duplicate of the orig LR file as no edits are made with this name) The file you create with your own name (when you save as from PS) needs to be imported back into the LR catalog manually later.
This is not the kind of integration we need.
We need to be able from LR to have jpg edits done in PS and named according to our needs, and re-added to the LR catalog automatically when we exit PS.
For example the following scenario:
IMG_1234.jpg is processed, cropped and tweaked in LR, then sent to PS for detailed enhancement.
Coming out of PS might be:
IMG_1234_Lucis90%
IMG_1234_Lucis50%
etc....
We need to make this work somehow....
