File rename with counting from 0 instead of 1

I have Aperture, the latest update installed.
I need to rename small series of pictures to XXXXXXXX_00.jpg, XXXXXXXX_01.jpg and so on. (I copy/paste the XXXXXXXX from a list of productcodes in Numbers)
The only solution so far is to rename the first to XXXXXXXX_00.jpg with the 00 as custom text and to rename the following 6 or so to XXXXXXXX_01.jpg,...,XXXXXXXX_06.jpg
Does anyone have a clue how to do this at one go and set the file renaming to Customname_Counter00. Aperture only lets you use Counter01 :-(
Any help is appreciated
Eric

This should work for you (here's hoping the screen shot shows)
The counter is set to start at 0, number of digits is set to 3. This is what you get
even though the example in the preset window shows the number as 1 when it runs with the # of digts set to 3 it will pad it out to 000
Here is waht it looks like in the Batch Change window

Aperture batch file rename: remove dashes from date?

Just wondering if it is possible to change the format of the date from YYYY-MM-DD to YYYYMMDD when you rename files as they are imported into Aperture 3? I In Aperture 3, the date format used includes dashes. I would like to have the file renamed without the dashes in the date. Is this possible?
This question was previously asked and answered in 2010, however Aperture does not seem to have an option for this it the batch rename edit menu. Thanks

It is not possible in the Aperture naming presets to remove the dashes or in any way change the date format.
The reason is that it is not possible to access the individual components of the date. When you drag an Image Date or Current Date token to form the filename you can't just get the day or the month or the year which is what you would have to be able to do to remove the dashes.
There is no technical reason this couldn't be allowed, Apple has just made the decision that it won't be allowed. You can try sending feedback to Apple requesting this, see Aperture->Provide Aperture Feedback.
It is possible to do what you want either before you import the files or with an Applescript eitehr beforre import or within Aperture.
For doing it before import you would basically copy the image files from the camera card to a folder and then import from there. There are several programs that you could use to do the rename, Name Mangler has been mentioned here a few times. I've never used it so I can;t vouch for it.
As for an in Aperture Applescript solution if you are familair with programming and/or Applescript it isn't to difficult to do but would be easier with some prior knowledge.

Batch Renaming with Counter

I am trying to do batch renaming with a counter. Unfortunately every time I try to use a counter, it stays the same number.
For example/
I have two clips that I want to rename Ceremony 1 and Ceremony 2. When I do the batch renaming, the clips change to Ceremony 1 and Ceremony 2. The counter doesn't work.
I could do keyword collections or rename them individually, but I have too many clips.
I hope someone could help me.

I figured it out. As you saw above, I wasn't having a problem batch renaming the title of the clips. I was having a problem with the counter. I learned in a previous posting that when you change the name of a subclip of a clip, it changes the name of both the original clip (clip in event browser, not hard drive) and the other subclips associated with it. It doesn't matter how you rename the clip (changing the name in the Name box of the Inspector, change it by clicking the name of the clip once in the event browser and typing it in, or using custom naming (click on the gear button in Inspector to find it), the name will always change correctly. For some reason (I guess a FCPX thing lol), you can't use the counter in custom naming correctly unless you change the original name through custom renaming. If you change the original name of a clip the other two ways, then try to change the new name of the clip using custom renaming with the counter, the counter will always stay the same number.

File organization with move from iPhoto to a3

I went from Iphoto to Aperture 3 yesterday. What does "projects not in folder" mean in aperture. I have 725 projects not in a folder...

Thank you,
Does all of that article apply to the A3. I did not have to import anything from iphoto to a3, i am not sure but i get the impression this was not always the case. Does this affect in any way the referenced master and the managed master?
Quoting article...
"""""In additional to what I listed above, your Library may or may not contain your original image files. Each image in Aperture has an original. Aperture is non-destructive -- your original image files are never altered. If the original image file is contained within your Library, it is called a Managed Master (Aperture's pointer to this file, and the file itself, are both inside the Library). If the original image file is not contained within your Library, it is called a Referenced Master (the pointer in your Aperture Library points to a fileoutside your Aperture Library). Referenced Masters bring some important advantages -- but the new user of Aperture can rely on Managed Masters until the need for Referenced Masters arises. Aperture makes is easy to convert your original image files back and forth from Managed to Referenced."""""
Wouldnt all of my files shown in Aperture be referenced files, since they are really still located in iphoto?
There is so much to this...

File renaming with drag & drop import

I want to import images on disk by dragging to projects to avoid the painfully slow import dialog animation, but I also want to rename masters on import. Is there a way to do this?

Ah
I think it is actually an Apple App switcher thing.
So if the finder window does noy cover the After Effects Project window, it works, but if you have to use the app switcher, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.
I don't think it is a file type issue, so much as a live application issue, or maybe GPU related.
It's a weird thing, not that important, but it does limit where you can and can't drag from.

Receiver file name with counter

While working on proxy to file scenario. I have to maintain receiver file name as ddmmyyyyxxx_nnn.xml,where xxx is constant and nnn is a counter which is suppose to be reset everyday.Anybody can help me on how to achive this...?

Hello Amit,
Yes. You can achieve this but only using File - NFS Protocol.
A new file is created for each document. The file name is extended with a counter, which is inserted before the file name extension (for example, default002.file). This selection is only available for the File System (NFS) transport protocol.
Make specifications for Counter Definition:
Prefix
Specify one or more characters that you want to add before the counter in the file name.
Format
Specify the first counter to be used. It must be a valid integer number. Leading zeros are permitted.
Step
Specify the counter increment.
Mode
Specify when the counter is to be added.
After First File
The counter is added when the file name is used unaltered for the first time.
Thanks

How ro export small (compressed) files (.mpg) with sound from FCP or compr.

I have some dv pal footage that I need to store in in very small files. Then I need to convert it back to dv, for editing.
The quality (regarding artefacts and all that) is not important. The stuff was ripped from DVDs originally and are only to be used as reference.
Can I export an .mpg file with sound muxed into it from FCP or Compressor?
H.264 produces to big files.
Thanks for any replyes:)
Message was edited by: Citizen_K

Hm, what a weird workflow.
I presume you are trying to edit with this stuff in FCP, so my question is, If you are grabbing media off DVDs, and converting with MPEG Streamclip or some such thing, and then trying to down-rez to edit with proxy footage, how do you plan to use timecode to reconnect to the high-res media when your cut is done?
h.264 can produce to big files or small files, depending on the settings of the file you tell it to produce to.
Consider that the amount of time you would spend converting media back and forth to low-res formats of lousy quality could be much more valuable than the cost of a firewire drive which you could use to convert your DVDs directly to DV, which you will find much easier to work with.
Hope this is helpful to U

Why are files divided with upgrade from old mac to mba?

I transferred all my files and applications from a MacBook to a MacBook Air running Lion about two months ago. I ended up with a divided system and can only access some files on one side and other files on the other side. Each side is password protected.
How do I dissolve this partition without losing anything?
Marsha

Hi Marsha,
I feel like we might be using the word "partition" in the wrong context here, so hopefully you can elaborate. In computing terms a partition would indicate a physical (or software) based division of a storage solution, such as your hard drive. For example, Boot Camp partitions a hard drive to create an OS X and a separate Windows environment.
What it sounds like you're experiencing is you have two different user accounts, one that was on the MacBook Air (prior to the migration) and then a separate user account that was brought over from the MacBook after the migration?
Is that correct? Be happy to help with additional clarification.

Report with multiple COUNT columns with counts from same table

I am new to discoverer so I am a bit lost.
I am working to create a report to show usage data from the eBusiness Knowledge Base. I have the query written in SQL using subqueries that is in the format:
Solution Number | Soultion Title | Solution Views | Positive Feedback | Negative Feedback
12345 ___________ Title ________ 345 ____________ 98 _______________ 34
The 'Views', 'Positive' and 'Negative' entries are stored in the same table so i am doing a count where setid=setid and usedtype=VS, then counting where usedtype=PF and usedtype=NF
In discoverer I can get the solution number, title and ONE of the totals but I can't seem to figure out how to get a COUNT for three different things from the same table in columns on the same row.
When I go to edit sheet -> select items once I select the COUNT option for the UsedType column in the table CS_KB_SET_USED_HISTS I can't select it again. I also have found now way to add a column based on an entered query.
If anyone could help it would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Edited by: Toolman21 on Dec 2, 2010 2:17 PM
added ______ to correct spacing.

Hi,
You can separate the column by using a case or decode.
for example create 2 calculations:
case
when usedtype='PF'
then <you original column> --- the one contain them both
else 0
end
case
when usedtype='NF'
then <you original column> --- the one contain them both
else 0
end
after that you can create the count aggregation over those.

Can't file share with iMac from Windows XP-Pro laptop

New to the game, but can't get Windows laptop to recognize iMac DVD. Need to download program to laptop which doesn't have DVD reader, just CD. AppleCare has the iMac end up and running. Any ideas? THanks.

I have exactly the same problem. I have a WD 500GB External HD connected to Airport Extreme. The MacBook works fine, but I can't get Windows XP (an HP PC) to log on through Airport Disk. I still can't get Airport Disk Agent working, but I find a way to connect to the HD. Here is what I did:
1. Checked my Nortel Firewall to make sure that my internal IP addresses are not blocked (10.0.1.1 to 10.0.1.200)
2. Created a simple disk password (I tried different options with or without accounts, but this works best for me)
3. Instead of using Airport Disk, I just go to Windows Explore, and map a network drive to \\10.0.1.1\My Book (put in the IP address of your Airport Extreme, and the name of your hard disk), then I type in my disk password (with no user account, and it works!!
If you can't log-in, may be you can try user account and see if it works better. And if you are like me having no idea what my harddisk name is, just type in \\10.0.1.1\ first and you should see your harddisk name.
Note that if you create user account, each account will have their own folder.
Hope it make sense to you. However I do hope Apple offer more guidelines and instructions on how to fix this soon. (Now if Apple can fix the VPN problem on another thread, then I'll be happy)

File sharing with accounts

I currently have my TC configured for file sharing with a disk password. Lately, however, I find that I have a need to be able to restrict read/write access to certain folders and files based on the user. But, when I select File Sharing "With Accounts" from the drop down I get a warning message stating "Setting up user accounts will make any files already on AirPort disks inaccessible." Seems like a pretty vague warning considering the possible outcome!
Does this mean I will lose access to all existing files already on the TC disk permanently, or just until I configure the accounts with access?
Thanks for any insight.
- Don

Is the file sharing the same between the TC and the AirPort Extreme 802.11n (Gigabit Ethernet) with a USB2 connected disk?
My experience is that the network share of the shared disk is different, but no files get lost. One can move between the security mechanisms without losing data. YMMV.
Here are my findings in detail: I was using the shared disk "With a Disk Password". When connecting from a Mac, a single share called like the partition of the disk would automatically mount. On that disk I put some folders "Music" and "Videos" directly in the root of the mounted share. The same volume also had a backup copy of my Mac mini, that I did when it was still locally connected (USB2 directly to the mini) rather than via Disk sharing. From that time there is still a "Users" folders there. One important folder is called "Shared". All folders and their files are accessible.
"Volumename" (share)
- Music
- Photos
- Videos
- Shared
- Users
When I changed from "With a disk password" to "With accounts", I also get the warning about "...will make any files already on AirPort disks inaccessible".
After the change, I have no access to "Music", "Photos" or "Videos" anymore.
However, there is still the share called "Volumename", but now it points to the sub folder "Shared" !!!!
When connecting from either Windows or Mac I see two shares. One called "Volumename" and the other matching the user name. I think the user share actually points to /users/username.
When switching back to "With a disk password", all is like it was before - no files are lost, the "Music", "Photos" and "Videos" folders stay there, and so does all their content.
I will now try to move them into the "Shared" folder, so that the share content after switching to Secure Shared Disk "With Accounts" will look the same as the content looked until now.

Read files starting with TEST* (for example)

Hi all,
Is it possible to read all the files starting with TEST for example from the Unix folder.
Requirement is there will be files starting with TEST present in the default path x.
I need to read all the files starting with TEST from this path. So, basically in the selection screen, can I put the default filename as TEST*.
All these files will have POs(Purchase Orders) which the program needs to update accordingly.
Please assist.
Thanks and regards,

File drag and drop from java app to file system - Linux problem

Hi all,
I am developing an application for files archiving, with a graphical user interface. The files are showed in a JList, and I implemented drag and drop feature for it. It works well for Windows platform, but not at all for Linux (Ubuntu).
Under Linux, file export with DND from the archive to file system does not work.
To extract a file with DND, we can't know the target destination folder, so I create a temp file (file extracted from the archive is wrote to OS tmp dir), and the system is expected to handle the DND action.
The temp file is correctly created (original data is well retrieved), but Ubuntu does not want to copy or move it via DND.
I get a system dialog window (while extracting file "test1") :
Error while moving
There was an error getting information about "[tmp/60lp1t7egl/test1]".
Show more details > Operation not supported
(Cancel, Skip all, Skip, Retry)
Can it be a rights problem ?
Any idea ?

Until the 3rd party image editor developers provide us with the Photos extensions for using their app from within Photo we'll have to export to the Desktop, edit there in the apps and either import the new file into Photos or use it elsewhere.
