File numbering when extracting

Hello,
I have large numbers of documents that need to have all of their pages extracted as separate files. Unfortunately when I do this the numbering is very inconvenient. My next process is loading them through a client, and since the numbering does not have a consistent number of digits it loads them in the following way (example is a document with 13 pages)
file 1.pdf
file 10.pdf
file 11.pdf
file 12.pdf
file 13.pdf
file 2.pdf
file 3.pdf
file 4.pdf
etc.
This is especially troublesome when the document has hundreds of pages. Any help is appreciated!
Thanks

You need a script that can do that... If you want, I can create one for you. Contact me by email.

How can I get iPhoto to display ONLY file numbers of pictures and not document titles when displayed as thumbnails?

I am a pro photographer and I've never used iPhoto. I use a combination of Adobe's Bridge, Lightroom & Photoshop programmes. I've sent a disk of images to a client and they cannot see the file numbers of the images. Their version of iPhoto only displays the document title that I have embedded in the metadata when importing the images into Bridge.
When I ran a test and imported the same images into my version of iPhoto(7.1.5, since you ask) some of the thumbnails displayed the file number while others displayed the document title. Why does this happen? Can I make it stop? How do I make iPhoto display just the file number in thumbnail mode and not the document title?
When I view the images in Bridge, all I see is the file number but I can't convince the client to use the programme even though they have it. Any help/guidance will be very gratefuly received.
Many thanks,
Adam.

In every version prior to iPhoto 11:
Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File...
In iPhoto 11:
Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original...

What does "extracted channel PDF" mean and why does it continually duplicate on my desktop? I think it happens when I move a file in Finder to another file and when I copy some web files. How do I avoid this on my Mac (Mavericks)? Thanks for your help!

What application is set to open PDF files? If you CNTRL click on the file and open with Preview does the problem occur?
If not change the default application to open PDF files to Preview.
You can do this by highlighting the file and either use CMD i or Get Info , this will open a window with the info on the file with an option to change the application that opens the file.
That's all I can think of.

Mike,
Any document left open when you Quit the application reopens when you restart the application. Rather like the jacket that I neglected to hang up when I came home last night. It's still lying on the chair by the door.

I have one album named "iPad". I don't recall how it got there, where it is there by default or if I created it. Nothing in this album shows a trash can in either full or thumbnail view - I can only edit or share or add to.
In full view mode, when I click on "edit" the upper left shows "cancel". The other greyed out options next to "cancel" are "undo" and "revert to original". The bottom shows the usual photo editing tools, but no "edit". Most of the other pictures show the trash can, which is located on the bottom right corner in camera roll in full view mode. In thumbnail mode when I click "select" on the upper right corner and choose a photo the trash can appears on the upper left corner". This all seems normal. However, the "iPad" album behaves different.

Regexp problem when extracting filename from path

I'm trying to extract filename and full path from string: \dir1\dir2\file.name
import java.util.regex.*;
public class Main {
    private static final String REGEX = "(\\S*\\)*(\\S*)";
    private static final String INPUT = "\\dir1\\dir2\\file.name";
    public Main() {    }
    public static void main(String[] args) {
       Pattern p = Pattern.compile(REGEX);
       Matcher m = p.matcher(INPUT); // get a matcher object
       int count = 0;
       if(m.find()) {
           count++;
           System.out.println("group1: "+m.group(1));
           System.out.println("group2: "+m.group(2));
}I expect group1 to be \dir1\dir2\ and group2 file.name
when I run program exception is thrown:
Exception in thread "main" java.util.regex.PatternSyntaxException: Unclosed group near index 12

'jverd' is right but if you are just trying to split the INPUT into a path + filename then why not just look for the last '\'. i.e.
int lastSlash = INPUT.lastIndexOf('\\');
String group1 = INPUT.substring(0, lastSlash);
String group2 = INPUT.substring(lastSlash+1);
As it stands, your example will not give you group 1 as \dir1\dir2. For that you would need something like
"((?:\\[^\\])*)(\\.*)"
to make sure you capure all the path in group 1.

File numbers not shown in Photos

When iPhoto displayed thumbnails the file number was always shown which was useful in selecting a specific image. The numbers are not shown in Photos. Can I change this?

When iPhoto displayed thumbnails the file number was always shown which was useful in selecting a specific image. The numbers are not shown in Photos. Can I change this?
Photos can display the titles of the photos below the thumbnails. But while iPhoto used the filenames with the file numbers as titles as a default title, if no title had been assigned, Photos does not do that. Filenames are only shown in the Info panel for a photo. You have to copy the filename to the title filed manually.
A posted an AppleScript to help with this task as a user tip, see this link: Photos for Mac: Batch Changing the Titles to the Filename

Acrobat crashes when extracting pages

Version Adobe Acrobat X 10.1.12
When extracting and emailing pages from a pdf multiple times, Acrobat crashes. Here is the process:
1. Open pdf
2. Tools -> Pages -> Extract
3. Select any number of pages -> delete after extracting -> Yes at prompt
4. In the extracted page(s) pdf, Share -> Send Files -> Attach to Email -> Attach
5. Default email app opens -> Send email
6. Close extracted page(s) pdf without saving.
7. Go back to original pdf
8. Try to repeat steps 1-6.
The Acrobat crashes every time at step 4 on the 2nd extraction and email. As soon as the share button is pressed (or using File -> Attach to Email), Acrobat crashes with the below error code.
I have tried multiple different pdfs from different sources (i.e. downloaded from the web, scanned from a printer, generated from a word doc, etc.) as well updating Acrobat, uninstalling and re-installing (using the cleaner tool in between) and repairing install. The issue happens on multiple machines, all running Win 7 Pro, and there are no add ins installed.

Same file name when downloading new pics

The prev camera I had (Sony Cyber shot/Steady Shot?)always kept dynamic file numbers/names however now have Nikon D90 and now if do search on a file number now get numerous pics under same file name as new camera restarts at same number all the time.
Is there an easy way to deal with this. I would really not want to have to rename all files as soon as I download them. That can be over 300 pics at a time.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

When I say file name I mean the name/number that appears under the pic in iphoto.
Yes that is the file name
Do most people leave these numbers or change them, do you know?
Most people leave it - some preprocess all photos and assign meaningful file names and then import
I know you can assign words to them and then retrieve them by calling up all pics associated with that word(s).
You can assign a title (which can optionally be used as the file name when you export photos), a description, keywords, and a rating
Do you have any other hints for me? Do you use the Mangler software you referred to in the prev post?
Normally I do not modify the file names - if I get photos from someone else I usually use name mangler to identify the source (which I could do with keywords but for photos that are not mine I prefer having the file name show the source) - once in a while I will change some but normally I just import directly from the camera and ignore the file name

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.

Photo file numbering system oddity

First time poster, long time lurker. I have over 1000 photos on my iPhone and I love it as a tool. But one thing I noticed, that is maybe a bug - or maybe a feature but I doubt it:
The photo file numbering system - when you get past IMG_0999 and surpass 1000, it will go back to numbering the files from IMG_0001. That creates a huge issue when I try to sync the newly created files back onto any computer as it will attempt to overwrite any file with an identical file name as the new one, or vis versa.

this is kind of discouraging for me.. as now I'll have to create multiple folders to hold my iphone pix.. i guess one for every month? I just went over the 1000 mark and now i cant back up my photos without putting them somewhere else... this is going to make finding pictures very difficult.
why have a filename of IMG_XXXX if you only change 3 digits of it? they could support up to 10K pictures if they used all 4 digits!
anyone have anymore info on this?

Problem when extracting Smart Objects

I am having a problem when extracting Smart Objects.
I work for a small pre-press company. We are working on several computers using one Job Server. Some of these computers have different versions of OS.
For one of our clients the company uses Smart Objects as a precaution for moire issues. The child file stays a certain size, while the parent file is sized down for print. Our client has started to request the larger Child size image for their use. For the volume of images requested, I have made an action out of Photoshop to open the smart object and save out a flat tif of the larger child file image. Here is the problem...
At times the smart objects child file does not retain the name of the smart object layer as its being extracted. What could be causing the lost connection between the parent file name to the child file name, and is there a way to prevent it in the future?
Thanks for your help:)
DVan

Hello,
I have noticed that. The true problem is that the child files name starts out as the parent layer name, but then somewhere down the line it turns wonkie, starting to be named things like 12.psd etc. Please see attached. Your can't re-save the name of the child file either because all that does is save out a named temp file that does not get linked back to the parent file....so what is making the name change?
