External Editor and File Names

When I am in Aperture, I do the Open in External Editor to open Photoshop. I then make my changes to the image, and press save then close the file in Photoshop. Now back in Aperture the new image shows up, but it has a new name! I need to keep the same file number! What can I do?

If I change the file names by hand, will this break any projects that use those clips?
Yes, it is best to do this before starting your project.
If so, is there a way to rename the .dv files without breaking the projects? I'd be interested in >replacing the time with a description of the clip, for example, yet leaving the date alone.
Best way is to name your Events with a descriptive name. I usually name it with a description and a reference to the source. e.g. Gail's 3rd Birthday - DV 023
Also, you can Keyword clips, which is more powerful than naming clips.
[See this Video Tutorial|http://www.apple.com/findouthow/movies/imovie08.html#tutorial=tag]
Does changing the date of the clips inside iMovie (by selecting the clip and adjusting the date and >time manually) impact the file name? Or is once the clip is imported the file name stays constant >(unless changed manually)?
Once imported, stays constant - unless changed manually.

External editors and file types

Hi,
I have just started using Aperture, so far very pleased but have some questions so thought I would ask the experts.
1. I have selected Elements 10 as an external editor, when I select to edit aperture creates a PSD file and starts Element 10 but does not open the file to be edited. I then have problems finding the file on my iMac.
2. Once I have found the file and edited it, if I save the file it places a modified PSD file back in the original folder but the PSD file is massive is there any other way to edit and keep in JPG format
3. The reason to edit in Elements is so I can crop to specific print sizes and ensure the image is 300 dpi. I can see in Aperture how to crop to a size but I need the result to be at 300dpi as the printer company I use will re-crop to give 300 dpi.
Thanking you in advance for any help you can give me and apologise for being a little greedy with three questions

For PSE try
http://barbarabrundage.com/2011/10/05/adobe-hide-and-seek-setting-pse-10-as-exte rnal-editor/
Point the Editor to "Applications>Adobe Photoshop Elements 11>Support Files>Adobe Photoshop Elements Editor"
2. Once I have found the file and edited it, if I save the file it places a modified PSD file back in the original folder but the PSD file is massive is there any other way to edit and keep in JPG format
Sorry, no. When you use an external Editor, you can only use tiff or PSD as format. Aperture will use the best lossless format. If you want jpeg, export the edited version as jpeg and reimport it.
3. The reason to edit in Elements is so I can crop to specific print sizes and ensure the image is 300 dpi. I can see in Aperture how to crop to a size but I need the result to be at 300dpi as the printer company I use will re-crop to give 300 dpi.
You can specify the 300dpi in the export preset, when you are exporting from Aperture, if the printer company insist.
In the Export Panel set the the selector for the preset to "Edit" and then select 300 dpi in the panel.

I am using both PSE 13 and Lightroom 5. When I use Lightroom as an external editor and save the photo, it shows up in PSE13 as an edited file but does not look any different. Why doesn't it appear edited?

I am using both PSE 13 and Lightroom 5. When I use Lightroom as an external editor and save the photo, it shows up in PSE13 as an edited file but does not look any different. Why doesn't it appear edited?

People who have Photoshop, but don't have Lightroom, need ACR so that they can use Raw files. Without ACR they could do nothing with those (they may also like having ACR so that they can work on other kinds of image using the same kinds of adjustments and techniques, as are used with Raw files).
People who have Lightroom, can get access to Raw files regardless whether ACR is present or not. They can use Lightroom on other kinds of image also, using the same methods. LR can pass images directly into Photoshop without passing via ACR (or else does so transparently, which amounts to substantially the same thing).
ACR does not, strictly speaking, even need to be installed for this external editing to happen. In fact, not even PS needs to be - since a different image editor can be used instead, while still retaining the Adobe Raw conversion etc.
Lightroom "subcontracts out" specialised external tasks, in this workflow, but is still your "main contractor": the image is otherwise located, viewed, managed, adjusted/presented and output entirely using LR.
So IMO we can divide image processing into:
operations that involve pixels and layers and layer masks and adjustment layers etc (of the kind done inside Photoshop)
operations that involve parametric edits (of the kind done in ACR where you are not using a Lightroom based workflow; otherwise, done inside Lightroom)
When PS is called in, that's because those tasks are impossible or unsuitable to do in Lightroom. But those tasks can't be done in ACR either - by definition, since LR and ACR have exactly the same image processing "feature set".
Lightroom is irrelevant to the Bridge + ACR + PS workflow. This workflow requires both your PS and your ACR to be current enough, to support your Raw format etc.
ACR and Bridge are irrelevant to the LR + (image editor) workflow. It is in this case, only LR which needs to be current enough to support your Raw format etc.

External Editor - New File Type

Is there a way that you can set an external editor and specify a specific file type that is not listed in the 'File Type' section of preferences.
I am working on a project for a client where I have been coerced into developing PL/SQL code. I'd like to house the code in XCode so that I can take advantage of the SCM integration and the new Snapshot feature in 3.0 as well as keep the files tied together in a project.
I have SubEthaEdit setup to manage .sql documents within finder. So I can choose 'Open with Finder' from the context menu in the Groups & Files pane and the document will open in SubEthaEdit. However, I'd like to associate those files directly with that editor in XCode so it will open the files with that editor by default. Ideally I'd like to have a text.script.sql file type that I can use for this purpose.
Any thoughts or feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Rob,
I am not sure if this will help you, but you can look at the textmate editor (http://macromates.com/) in case it can do some of the things you want

Path and file name

I am running Illustrator CS4 on Windows XP.
I have obtained a script that inserts the file name in the bottom left of the page
// CODE BEGIN
var pointTextRef = app.activeDocument.textFrames.add();
pointTextRef.contents = app.activeDocument.name;
pointTextRef.top = 20;
pointTextRef.left = 10;
// CODE END
What I would like is that it inserts the path name as well ie
"c:\temp\file.ai"
rather than just the file name "file.ai"
Is there anyone out there who can help me.
Thank You

Hi Mark,
Thank you for this script.
It works fine, just as I wanted.
Much appreciated.

Path and File name of the attachment

Hello Srm Guys,
Where should be the Path and File name of the attachment are stored for a shopping card Item.
Thanks
Ram

Hello Ram,
Execute the function module BBP_PROCDOC_ITEM_GETDETAIL by providing the item guid,object type . Now it will populate the et_attach importing parameter with the attatchement details.
In the ET_ATTATCH internal table , the field PHIO_FNAME/PHIO_PATH_FILE provides the physical storage location of the document.
Hope this info will be helpful.

How to show rating dots and file name underneath thumbnail in Bridge CS4 preview workspace?

How to show rating dots and file name underneath thumbnail in Bridge CS4 preview workspace?

Thank you! That was it. The option to change it is not available in preferences (though I believe it was in early CS versions). It's hidden in a dropdown menu associated with an icon at the top. It sure wasn't easy to find, and I probably would not have done so without your lead. Thanks again!

Need script to add path and file name to fillable form

I have a fillable pdf form that I would like to have a script that adds the path and file name to the form. This script would be in a field at the end of the document.
I am a newbie to javascript and formcalc. The script will be the only one in the form.
Thanks for any assistance.

Hi,
I have a sample that attach a file to the PDF and write in a text field the file name. I don´t know how to get the full path and it only works in Acrobat. To work in Adobe Reader is necessary the LC Reader Extensions to give some special permissions to the document. But, regard this, you still want the sample send me a email to [email protected]

Max length of VI file paths and file names

Hi,
Is there a maximum allowed length of VI file paths and file names in LabVIEW? I'm running LV 6.0.2i on NT and is trying to save a VI inside a LLB and LabVIEW crashes each time. I have also tried to copy the VI from the LLB to a temp folder with the Librarian VI, but LabVIEW crashes as well. The total length of the file path is around 260 characters and I strongly suspect the file path length in combination with LLB because when I use a shorter path the problem disappear. If I use a long path without LLB (just regular VIs) a warning appear "Invalid file name" instead of LabVIEW crashing.
Does anybody know the solution to this problem or must I use shorter filepaths? Perhaps it depends on which platform I am running
LV on?
Sincerely,
Mattias Ericsson

I believe windows has a 255 character pathname (file+path) limit. We once
had that problem because we had a long filename and a longer pathname.
Moved the directory up a couple levels and problem solved.

Check image details like resolution, dimensions, color mode, file format, file size and file name

I have 1000 images in a folder, i want to check their details like resolution, dimensions, color mode, file format, file size and file name into excel with nice user interface.
Pls help me, m just learning ABCD in VB.

The code in the file at the link below might give you a starting point. Firstly it gives you the opportunity to list all of the properties of a file type and then you can select the properties that you want and the second utility gives you the
opportunity to list the selected properties for all files in a selected folder.
Download and extract the file and open the file in Excel.
Click the first button List Meta Data for One File (Run first)
Navigate to and Select any ONE individual photo file. (Photo files because that is what you indicated you are working with.)
You will be presented with a list of the available properties for the file. Where the Item value is blank, that property is not recorded for the particular file. Different file types have different properties and it is also dependent on how the file
was created but generally if all of the files come from the same source then the same properties are recorded for all files from that source.
Now insert a Y in column D for all of the required properties. (Don't select any with the Item value blank)
Click the second button List Selected Meta Data for all Files in a Folder (Run after selecting the required properties).
Next select a folder where the files reside. (You might need to back up to the folder if dialog is blank because it will not show individual files because the code only allows Folders.)
You will be presented with a report listing all of the selected properties for all of the files in the selected folder.
The user interface is not that great but you can improve on that if you want to with a Userform as you get to know VBA a little better.
Download the file from here.

In iMovie when I try to share a project to a file on an external hard drive it will work the first time but subsequently it says it is sharing but gives no time and file name and in fact just sits there not sharing the file.

I have iMovie 10.0.4. I want to transfer some old DV tape videos to MPEG 4 files to be stored on a 4 TB external drive. I successfully imported the video to iMovie, created a project by moving all captured files into a project and the first time I shared the project to a file it worked as expected. Every subsequent try to transfer another video would fail to transfer. When I clicked save it gives the warning that it is too big for iCloud, iso I click create on this computer. The progress circle comes up with no indication of progress. The show activity drop down just says sharing to "file" no file name as in the first one and indicates no time remaining. In fact it just sits there apparently doing nothing. I'v tried it a half dozen times, deleted everything and started over. It transfers the first project to file and then nothing on additional tries. What do I have wrong, am I missing something?

How can I match pic description and file names?

I hate bunches of pictures called DCSNXXXX on my HD, as they are imported from my camera. Most of my last two year´s imports have this as file name.
I was thrilled to see in iPhoto 08 a 'Batch Change' option on the menu, and used it right away to change picture names by groups.
I was dissapointed to find out though that the actual file name remains the same.
How can I match name in iPhoto 08 with file name?
Thanks
J

J
You can't. And that Batch Change command has been there for the last several versions too.
When you name a Picture in iPhoto you are adding a title to the photo, not changing the Filename. Filenames are irrelevant in iPhoto. The entire point of iPhoto is that you organise your photos without recourse to your files. So, searching in iPhoto is about searching for a Photo, not a file. Hence the title is more important than the filename.
Are you trying to find the file?
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
For 10.5 users: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use THIS
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
Finally, if you export the file using the File -> Export command, then you can use the Title as a Filename on the exported version.
If you really want to rename the files, then you will need to do this before you import them to iPhoto. Renaming them once they are in the Library will corrupt your Library.
