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

Photoshop CS6 - Batch function will not save files

OK, I have used the "Automate/Batch" function well over a hundred times, so this situation (first time using it in CS6) is VERY frustrating!
Running Adobe CS6 extended v. 13.0.1 x32 on a Win XP sp3 OS.
I have a slew of photos that need nothing done except to resize from the native file size to 6 in x 4 in @ 150 ppi and save into a new folder (to not override the original). I have recorded the action multiple times now and each time I run the action, the files do not save! Here are the various parameters I've used:
Attempt #1:
     Action Steps Recorded -
Open
Save for web (set size parameters here)
Close
      Batch settings -
Play Set: correct folder selected; Action: correct action selected
Source: folder - selected folder where native files are located (on desktop)
NO checkmarks next to any options
Destination: folder - selected folder where small files should be saved (on desktop)
NO checkmark on override action
Did not change file naming parameters
Result #1 - DID NOT SAVE FILES
Attempt #2:
     Action Steps Recorded -
Open
Save for web (set size parameters here)

Please help! This has never been a problem before CS6 and I truly am at my wits end trying to figure out why the files will not save. I have several hundred files that I need to run this on, so doing it individually is not an option.
Thanks in advance for any and all insights!

I'm having a problem with Automating > Batch as well. Strange enough, I did a batch of other photos and it worked fine. Selecting a new set of folders is not working at all; the files simply pop open and then close but the destination folder remains empty. It also doesn't appear the actions are occuring since I don't see them highlighting as the automation runs. I have no idea why it would work then not. BTW, "Override Action "Save As" is unchecked.
~CG
UPDATE: I put a "save as" command at the beginning of the action, then checked the "Override Action "Save As" box and it somehow works now, but not before stalling on an image (normally the last in the folder) and complaining that the image was being used in another program. The only other program opened was Bridge so I'm unsure why it had a problem. I closed both programs and ran the automation with nothing else opened and it worked ... ?? Confused, but not complaining (for now).

QTPro Could not save file "The movie contains an in correct time value"

QT Pro 7.6.6 Could not save file “The movie contains an in correct time value”
I’m exporting files out of Priemer Pro CS5 with the H.264 “vimeo HD settings” .mp4 files and the files look dull, low contrast and low color saturation, when played in QT10. From what I’ve read it’s a gamma problem with QT10. I also hear the files from FCP have the same problem, so it's not a Premiere Pro problem.
The fix is to open the file in QT Pro, adjust the blend in the video track and re-save, however I try to save the file I get an error that says “The movie contains an in correct time value”
Will QT Pro 7.6.6 allow me to save my file to .mp4 or only .mov files
I’m on a MacPro 12 Core with 14gb memory
OS 10.6.5
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Mark

Will QT Pro 7.6.6 allow me to save my file to .mp4 or only .mov files
The "Save As..." option always saves a copy of the data to an MOV file container. Minor property changes will allow your to use the "Save" option which stores only the changed properties to the same file in its original file container. Unfortunately, major changes will automatically invoke the "Save As..." routines even though you selected the "Save" option. If you must place the content in an MP4 file container, you can use the "Save As..." option in QT Streamclip to re-save the "fixed" MOV file to an MP4 file container. However, note that extraneous track content may, if present, not be carried over to the MP4 container.

"Could not save (file name) because the file is already in use or left open."

Hello,
When I tried save as a file, I get an error msg:
"Could not save (file name) because the file is already in use or left open."
The file is not open anywhere accept Photoshop.
Mac Pro, OSX 10.5.6
Photoshop CS4.
I searched the forum but could not find anything even though i'm sure someone already asked it.
would love to get a solution for that.
thank you,

There is a problem with both Photoshop and InDesign, then we can blame wich ever it is.
1. I open a .psd file in Photoshop CS4 by double clicking it in Bridge
2. This image is placed on a page in a open InDesign document.
3. Doing some changes in Photoshop on the image.
4. Trying to save and get this error message (this topics subject)
5. Deleting the image from the page in ID doc, it is the only one in the document.
6. Can't still save file.
7. Closing ID completely and now I am able to save the file.
I tried turning of Live preflight in Indegisn but that didn't help.
So probably the fault is InDesign or the MacOS. I didn't have this problem with CS3. It is a stupid problem because this type of workflow is pretty common and one would expect it to be solved by now.

Error of "Could not save (file name) because write access was not granted

Error of "Could not save (file name) because write access was not granted. The users are pulling the files from a Mountain Lion server. They all have read\write access. If they try to save the file in the same directory they get that error but they can save it anywhere else on the sharepoint. If they save it in another directory then reopen it make a change and do a save as they can save it back to the original directory. Has anyone else come across this same issues

It is an enterprise solution. I just do not see why you cant save directly to the server. It seems to get weird errors. Some Adobe stuff saves fine on the server and some of it doesnt. It seems Adobe related. The permissions on the server are set correctly so it isnt a permission error

CS6 can not save files over 2GB???????

I need to make a giant poster at 6ft wide x 5 ft tall. I created a blank document in CS6 at 200ppi. I created some text, and imported a couple of 25MB images. I am unable to save the file as a .PSD because it indicates that PS can not save files over 2GB.
1. How did this file grow to become over 2GB?
2. Why can PS not save a .PSD over 2GB?
3. What do you do if you need to create a large format print such as this?
Thanks in advance.

Very true.
However, Jeff knows exactly what he's doing and he's very, very good at it. If your image were fortunate enough to end up being printed by Jeff Schewe, he'd be able to tell you exactly what kind of an image file he wants from you.
Always check with the printer.

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

"Can not Save file name " InDesign CS6 - Cloud---WTF!

Hello anyone
This new Cloud Adobe CS6 is SO buggy.
not my first issue with it...
I am using
Cloud version of - but locally installed
Trial version of CS6 InDesign.
iMac - mountain lion 10.8.1
i7/12Gig RAM. SSD, and 1 T platter drive.
Anyway-
After many HOURS of InDesign work.
Many pages, lots of stuff.
I exported my work as PDF to send to my boss. Worked fine.
But I can't save the working file.
All Save menu items are grayed out.
The astericks is there in the window title.
When I just close the file- I am prompted to Save the file or lose my work.
I hit Save and get window
"can not save filename"
with no error code.
NOTHING!
This has happened twice. First time not a lot had been done to the file.
So I just re-started the iMac
This time I stand to lose some real work here.
Does this happen if I just use the free version!?!?!?!?
I will happily pay after my trial but if this is what the new CS6 has in store, then screw Adobe.
Can anyone help me???

There's no difference in fuctionality between paid and free versions.
There are two things worth trying, if you haven't already closed and lost the file. The first is to export to .idml, open that and see if you can save it with a new name: Remove minor corruption by exporting
The second is riskier as it depends on ID's amazing file recovery after a crash. If the method above fails you haven't got a lot to lose, though, so here here's the next thing I would try:
Force Quit Indesign. See Replace Your Preferences and use the manual method to replace the InDesign Defaults and InDesign SavedData files (and while you're at it, make a backup copy of the InDesign Recovery folder). Also see Adobe Forums: InDesign crashes at startup and delete the additional files in John's post. If you need to delete or copy hidden files and don't know how to access them, see Access hidden user library files | Mac OS 10.7 Lion
When all that is done, restart InDesign. With luck, autorecovery will open the file again with not much missing and you can try to save it.

Auto-duplicate OR NOT save as a Template

Hello all,
How can I open a Template in Pages and have it auto-duplicate itself, OR even better, NOT have it save as a Template UNTIL I give that command and overwrite the current Template.

Hi riqiv,
Save will save your work as a Pages document with a name of your choosing (I chose the name Fred) in a location of your choosing. It is possible to save a .Pages document in My Templates Folder (not recommended):
And here it is:
To find My Templates, Finder > Go Menu > hold down option key and Library will appear. Navigate:
iWork > Pages > Templates > My Templates
In Pages, when I now go to Menu > File > New from Template Chooser > My Templates, Fred is there:
Which I don't really want!
Peter could be right. You may have a .Pages document in your Templates library.
Note: Save As Template with the same name as a former template will replace with the new version in your library.
Now to clean up my library after this demonstration...
Regards,
Ian.

Download pdf = how to open and not save file

hi
in my app i have to download a file. at the beginning the file is called with blazeds as a ByteArray.
var saveReference:FileReference = new FileReference();
saveReference.save(pdfByteArray, 'Report.pdf');
i like to open an application associated on the Operation System when the user download the file. eg download the report.pdf => the pdf reader opens.
i tried hard but could not find a way to force this, in my app the save file dialog opens.
the only report similar to mine i could find:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/569350/flex-filereference-download-is-it-possible-to-op en-associated-application/569596
maybe you could help me. thanks
joe

Don't think it's possible, due to security reasons (instantly being able to run a downloaded file spells out massive problems).
there is a topic here:
http://www.justskins.com/forums/download-file-open-pdf-from-flex-ui-87457.html
which seems similar to yours.
As they say in that topic though, you could just have a link that opens a new window to the PDF.

Random Artifact and "Could not save (file name) because the file is already in use or left open."

Hi,
I've been working on a collage for school, and I 'merged all layers below into one layer', and photoshop left me a random artifact on all my masks. Also, the same file has been suffering the 'Could not save...' problem. I have taken older versions of the file, brought them back to where I had been, and then a similar artifact appears (from various actions). Once the artifact appears, I can undo the action but not the artifact, and the file is useless. It happen on a second file, but the artifact was different (a rectangular hole in the middle of the masks).
I have a MBP/4GB/MacOSX 10.6.4, everything is up to date.
If anyone has any suggestions, it would be really appreciated... I'm working for a deadline at school.
Thanks,
Patrick

Hi Chris,
I have updated both the Adobe suite and the MacOSX. My school has CS5. The holes cut into the image in a geometric pattern (the rectangles) are the random artifact (cropped below).
Also, I understand 'Could not save...' means it could not save... Why it cannot save seems to be the issue. I believe you understand the circumstances of the 'Could not save...' issue, and it isn't simply that another program has it open.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/370206?start=50&tstart=0
I don't really know if it's Adobe, Apple, or Windows issue, and I don't think it really matters. It is a problem in Photoshop, which would make it an Adobe problem... and waiting for a fix doesn't seem to be a satisfactory answer.
I don't want to make this tread about politics, I want to fix my file, and I thought it might be another symptom to a bigger problem.
Thanks for your response,
Patrick
