Export file numbering - need multiple digits

So say I'm converting 141 files, like I just got done doing. Lightroom starts with single digits (1-9), the double (10-99), then triple (100-141). What's the problem, you say? Sort the files by name, as many applications do, and you will have the photos listed (and processed) out of sequence.
Is there a way to force Lightroom to use 2 or 3 digit sequence numbers during Export? View NX had this, and I'm really missing it.
And now back to re-numbering the files by hand. Groan.

Click on File Name (File Renaming) drop down menu and choose Edit from list. The Filename Template panel will open and you shuld see an option mid way down for Sequence and Date, click on this option to expand the list of digit options that can be used.

How to export file with original filename number suffix, but with more digits

Is there a way to keep the original filename number suffix, but change the formatting of the number, adding leading zeros for instance?
When I import photos from my camera I like to rename them, and give them sequential numbers, e.g. "2015-01 Hamburg 1.cr2", "2015-01 Hamburg 2.cr2", "2015-01 Hamburg 10.cr2", .. "2015-01 Hamburg 134.cr2", and so on.
Normally when I export photos I like to keep the file names exacly as I imported them (except the extension) e.g. 2015-01 Hamburg 1.jpg, "2015-01 Hamburg 2.jpg", .. "2015-01 Hamburg 10.jpg", .. "2015-01 Hamburg 134.jpg".
But sometimes I would like to export them with leading zeros, typically when adding photos to a web site or blog where there are sort mechanisms that only support simple sort algorithms based on file names, meaning the sort order of my photos with their original file names would become "2015-01 Hamburg 1.jpg, "2015-01 Hamburg 10.jpg", .. "2015-01 Hamburg 134.jpg", "2015-01 Hamburg 2.jpg".
So I would like the file names to be "2015-01 Hamburg 001.jpg", "2015-01 Hamburg 002.jpg", "2015-01 Hamburg 010.jpg", "2015-01 Hamburg 134.jpg".
By keeping the original file number suffix I can easily go back to the original file whenever I need to, and the sort order would work even with simple sorting.
The export Filename Template Editor gives quite advanced support for numbering files when exporting, see attached screenshot. There's support for exporting files with custom file names, and adding sequence, total and image number with padding (up to 9999/####). But those add new numbers, they do not consider the original filename number suffix. If I use the "Image # (001)" for instance, my example above would export as "2015-01 Hamburg 001.jpg", "2015-01 Hamburg 002.jpg", "2015-01 Hamburg 003.jpg", "2015-01 Hamburg 004.jpg", if those were the four photos I wanted to export, making it hard for me to trace them back to the original photo.
I have found no way of adding such padding on the original file number.
Does anyone know if this is possible or have suggestions for a workaround?
It shouldn't be too hard for Adobe to support this I'd imagine.
export pattern rename files file_number filename_template_editor

I do not know if you can do what you explained above, but there is a workaround to this (and a way to avoid having to do it in the future):
In the Library module, make sure your images are sorted by Capture Date (this will put them in the right order, even with suffixes like 1, 13, etc.)
Select all images, and then Rename them, using a Custom text followed by a Sequence number. The Custom text in this case should be the original name (such as, 2015-01 Hamburg, as in your example). Make sure the Sequence number is formatted with enough zeroes to include all the numbers in your images.
In the future, when you rename images during Import, make sure you select the Sequence number format that will include all the needed zeroes, so you don't have to go through this again.

Numbers Added to Exported files in CS6

Is there any way to prevent Illustrator from adding numbers to the end of exported files? It's really annoying because I end up with a bunch of extra files and only need the single exported version that I overwrite when making changes to the AI file. It's also annoying when I have an exported file linked in a Premiere or Indesign file. I was last using CS3 wich didn't have this 'feature.'

Right, but why have an extra step with an unecessary work around? There should be a setting to control files names with artboard exports...

I use imovie to create videos. When I burn the video to DVD and play it back there is digital breakup in the playback from the DVD. The digital breakup does not show in playback on the computer. I understand there is a file I need to delete and reboot the computer and imovie will rebuild the file in the program. Help!

My method is to use the DAW in standard recording mode, and set up the camcorder entirely separately. After recording, I automate the audio mix with fader moves and effects, then export ("bounce to disk") a full-fidelity AIFF, 16-bit 48 kHz stereo file (most videos use 48, not 44.1). I use iMovie '11 to import the video from the camera, then import the stereo audio file and match it up to the camera audio by dragging it into the iMovie Project. Make the waveforms visible, it's not too hard to align.
Then, use iMovie's "Export as Quicktime" feature. Here, by going through the menus and options, you can control the audio compression (for example, 256k instead of 128, although 128 seems to be enough for YouTube).
AppleMan1958 posted a YouTube video about controlling iMovie's export options that may help:

When to export a numbers file to csv the minus signs don't work with R

Friends,
I have trouble getting the statistic program R to read my exported CSV-files from Numbers.
The minus sign doesn't work, R reads it as a factoric input rather than numeric.
Does anyone have a tip how to reformat this?
Jocke

Wayne, actually, I'm not sure but I think that factoric - or factorial is the denomination that R uses to say that somthing is rather a text than a numeric number - I'm pretty new to R.
But, anyway, we solved the problem but in a lillte bit of an awkward way.
The problem is that the minus sugns in numbers is percieved as dashes in R
(http://www.R-project.org, a free-ware statistical analysis program)
So where there is a numeric input with a minus sign R thinks it is a letter rather than a number.
We solved it by exporting the numbers file to CSV, opened it in text editor, copied the suspisios minus sign and pasted it into the search field to find all dashes/minus sign that didn't work and replaced them with a minus sign. After this operation, nothing different could be seen in the text but R saw the difference.
So this makes it difficult to explain by posting a screenshot - it looks the same but it isn't.
The funny thing is that the dashes that numbers use when to express a date are percieved as minus signs by R.
Can anyone understand what I tried to explain? And if so, is there a simpler way to do this? We have a lot of minus signs to export to R.....
best regard
Joachim

Exporting from Numbers to Excel - New User needs help!

Hoping someone here can help me out, as I have searched the discussions and still haven't found what I'm looking for. I'm a new Numbers 09 user, and I love it. My experiences with Excel have been nothing short of frustrating, but with Numbers I feel like a spreadsheet wizard.
My problem is basically that I need to export my Numbers created sheets into Excel for use by clients that have not yet made the jump from PC/Excel to Mac/Numbers. This is crucial, as I just don't think I can build this sheet in Excel with the same type of success I have had with Numbers.
My Numbers document has five tables, a custom header graphic and a legend. When I export it to Excel, each table is put on it's own sheet, including the graphic and legend. Is there anyway anyone can help me export this properly or am I doomed to have to spend days learning Excel? Any responses would be appreciated. Thank you very much!
B

B,
It's a shame that you have become a Numbers user but are anchored to the Excel style of Sheet.
Separate Tables in Numbers will always become separate Sheets in Excel. If your clients don't have to write to the Excel document, why not send them a PDF of your Numbers document?
If you must furnish Excel documents to your clients, you're going to have to consolidate your five tables into one if you want everything to come out on one Excel sheet.

Need to export file with different layers selected automatically

I have a file with a background and various text layers.
I want to select each text layer individually and export them to a file, but I don't want to do this manually because it would take a lot of work.
My question is, how would i tell photoshop to export X numbers of files. Where X=number of text boxes.

I still don’t quite follow: Should the resulting files combine one of the text-layers with the lowermost layer or display only one of the layers?
Because I thought Export Layers to Files would do the second.
Anyway, the following might help, You would have to enter Your intended gif-settings in the Script manually though (see »Photoshop CS4 JavaScript Ref.pdf« or ExtendSctipt Toolkit’s Help > Object Model Viewer for the correct nomenclature for the various options).
And You should adjust the naming-procedure to Your liking, I didn’t use the actual layer-names to avoid possibly overly long names.
Paste the following text into a new file in ExtendScript Toolkit (part of Photoshop’s installation) and save it as a jsx-file into Photoshop’s Presets/Scripts-folder.
After restarting Photoshop theScript should be available under File > Scripts and can be assigned a Keyboard Shortcut directly, recorded into an Action or (in CS4) be used in a Configurator-Panel.
// saves gif-copies of the backgoud-layer with one of the other layers visible in the same location as the original file;
// existing files of the same names will be replaced without callback;
// use it at your own risk;
#target photoshop

var myDocument = app.activeDocument;

theLayers[n].visible = true;
var layerName = theLayers[n].name;

Syndicator Server: possible to split the export file in multiple file?

Hello,
is it possible to split the export files into multiple files e. g. at 5000 records?
Perhaps there is a possibility in the mdss.ini? Or a setting in the mapping?
Thank your for your responses!
Melanie

Hi Melanie,
- If you are syndicating in the Xml format you have the option to syndicate one xml for every record. or multiple records one xml.
For this you have to make a simple setting in the Syndicator-> Map properties->XML file output->(multiple files/single file)
Other way around is:
- If you are syndiacting in any other format say text then the output file goes as one file for all records present in the MDM repository, for this you can use the search options.
- Create a search on some field value which will select a set of records from the lot.
- Then you can syndicate only those records which satisfies the search criteria.
- In this way it is possible to syndicate in parts
Hope It Helped,
Kindly Reward Points if found useful
Thanks & Regards

I am trying to export a Numbers spreadsheet to a csv file, but it does not put the commas in

I am trying to export a Numbers spreadsheet to a csv file, but it does not put the commas in. I want to use it with an HTML table generator tool, but the tool is looking for commas. The Export to CSV exports it as a spreadsheet with all the formatting removed, and no commas.
Here is the html table tool:
http://www.textfixer.com/html/csv-convert-table.php

Numbers '09 create CSV files with comma separated values if and only if your system is using decimal period.
If the system is using decimal comma, the CSV files are created using semi-colon as separator.

File numbers change after exporting

When I edited my pics and then exported them to a CD the file numbers change so that when I look at wedding pics, I see the reception with the rehearsal pics. I still have the right numbers attached to the master file in the backup section of my hard drive. Did I do something to change the data?

You probably renamed them on export. It's an option in the export dialog.

Numbers pops up exporting before export file choosen

There is a bug with numbers I hoped apple would have fixed a long time ago... When you export something using the share export dialog and are in the location to choose a place to save the exported file. If you were to tab out of the app, it will popup a dialog saying exporting when it is not exporting... The only way to get out of it is if you forcequit Numbers and launch it again... Thankefully because this is lion, it saves the last changes and I just have to go back to export and not tab out of Numbers.

I'm not able to duplicate this. Here is what I tried.
Opened Numbers, which created a default blank document
File/Export
Chose Excel then clicked on Next. The "Save As" window popped up.
Then I tried each of the following
Command-Tabbed to another application then Command-Tabbed back
Command-Tabbed to another application then clicked on the Numbers Icon in the dock to get back
Clicked on an open window of another application then clicked on the Numbers icon to get back
Clicked on an open window of anotehr application then clicked on a Numbers window to get back
In none of those cases did it pop up a dialog box saying "exporting", it always went back to the same place I left off. I assume you meant "command-tab out of the app"; tab moves between fields of the "Save As" window (as it should do)
Could this be a problem related to a third-party utility?

HR ABAP : Need more information for Import/Export files in HR

Hi Everybody,
I have been in ABAP programming for pretty long but very new to ABAP HR.I am making a Self-Learning attempt in ABAP HR where I have been able to acheive a fair understanding of Infotype,LDB,Screen Modifications,RMAC macros... But presently I cannot very clearly understand the accessing of PCLn files specially PCL2 (payroll derivations).I am using SAP Help for it. I would highly appreciate if anybody could provide me with some documents to understand Import/Export files in HR.
Any kind of personal tricks or tips to understand the same would also be very helpful.
Best Regards,
Sangeeta.

Hi Suresh,
Your reply was very comforting... I have been literally struggling to understand the includes for data definitions and Key.It would be great if you could just provide me a sample program with the Read Payroll and Write Payroll in case you have any.
Other than that as per your suggestions I would then just concentrate on the modules..
Once again I would like to thank you for your reply.
Best Regards,

Photo file numbers - duplicates

Hi,
My digital camera can take 9999 photos. I have just this week taken more than that this year and the camera started over with numbering the files (0001, 0002 etc.) When I put these into iphoto will it over write the photo files I took earlier in the year that now have the same file numbers?
Thanks

wojopaul:
No, they won't be overwritten. iPhoto will put them into folders based on the date to correspond to the Events preferences you've set up. If two photos are added to the same event iPhoto will append a "_2" to the file name as it moves it to the folder.
However, you can run into problems if you try to export a number of photos that end up having the same file name (but not in the same event). In those cases you should rename the photos with the Batch Change option and export with the option to use the title instead of the file name.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
