File renamed when I add label

Bridge CS3 v2.1.1.9 is frequently renaming files when I add a label.
When it renames the file it adds "._00_" as a prefix to the file name. I then don't see the file in Bridge. I have to go to Windows Explorer to find it.
It is doing this to about a third of all the labels I apply.
It is happening whether I apply a label with the label menu, use the number pad, use cntl+#, or set the preferences to not require cntl.
The problem is not restricted to any one folder.
I have rebooted the computer.
How do I fix this?
Thank you,
Jeff Schaefer

I'm not sure if it would help but have you tried drag and drop into itunes or add folder?

Files Renamed when importing to LR4 and now can't find them in LR3

Help! What should I do???
Yesterday I installed LR 4 Beta. I had a folder with 300 images in it on LR 3, obviously all files had names. I imported these photos into LR4 to work with LR4 and they were renamed in the process. Now in my LR3 folder, all the files still have there old names and the "missing photo ?" and I assume that's because the name has been changed and LR3 can't find them. Any thoughts on an easy fix?
Thanks,
Matthew Kraus

Thanks so much for helping me with this.
I must admit, I didn't pay too much attention when importing this "test"
group of photos to LR4, therein lies my problem. Now that I look at the
import settings that were used:
1. Files were not added or copied, they were "moved" to a new location and
also renamed.
2. Files were renamed starting with "264" using my regular import template.
Listed below are the first 10 photos with their original LR3 and he
changed LR4 names.
1201_001 changed to 1201_264-2
1201_002 changed to 1201_265-2
1201_003 changed to 1201_266-2
1201_004 changed to 1201_267-2
1201_005-Edit-Edit changed to 1201_268-2
1201_005-Edit changed to 1201_269-2
1201_005-Edit changed to 1201_270-2
1201_005-Edit-Edit-2 changed to 1201_271-2
I have a back up of my images on an EHD from several days ago which has the
original file names, but this backup only has 203 of the 268 images I
imported yesterday and are renamed.
Thanks again,
Matthew Kraus

I cannot import my AVCHD files by using log and transfer. I can see all the files, but when I add the file to import que it doesnt work, the status is a red and says that its no data. I have tried with different cards and different cardreaders, but it is still the same. Why?!

Please give us more specific information -
What make/model camcorder are you using?
Are you absolutely certain this is AVCHD video? Tell us more about the video settings you used in the camcorder (eg, frame size, frame rate, quality level)
Why are you attempting Log & Transfer from a card reader instead of from your camcorder? Have you tried doing Log & Transfer from your camcorder?
Are the SD cards straight from the camcorder, unaltered, or are you just using the cards as storage?
Are you using FCE 4.0 or FCE 4.0.1?

File rename doesn't add leading zeros to renaming files sequence? And a pat on the back to the LR de

First of all, LR truly rocks. Any Adobe folk reading this, please take this note as a massive pat on the back for your team. There's a lot of childish and naive negativity from people posting in this forum. And I suspect from folk who are not really your key market for this app. I feed my kids by running a photography business and have been shooting digital since the early 90s...ya know...
LR will be looked at as a massive sea change in the development of digital photography. The first time the entire workflow process is truly viable from end to end. What will make LR the ultimate winner in it's field is simply the integration with Photoshop. Aperture, Capture One etc cannot ever beat LR regarding this and so, just like the way that Excel and Word and Powerpoint all work together and everyone uses them, LR will inevitably become the de facto standard way of managing RAW images for pro photographers.
Even with the few bugs (specifically file movingon Mac OS10.4.9) LR has shaved HOURS off our workflow. We shoot around 250 gigs of images a month in our weddings and event business. Now all of our editors use LR. No more Capture One etc for us.
Here's the question - There seems to be no way to add leading zeros to a file rename command. So if you rename a batch of images they appear as 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 etc so now when I look at them in Bridge or other apps, they are now sorted 1,10,11, etc
Now let me tell ya this is a pain.
Any comments or comfort that is is a known issue would be appreciated. All we want is a way to have the rename add the leading zeros like most other apps do...
Best to all

PS By the way, I am a HARD *** about shoddy unstable software sold to pro photographers as the "prefect solution" that doesnt work as advertised...I am that guy that the tech support guys at certain companies dread. Yep, I simply expect an app to do what it says, just like the car I buy. I once resorted to sending the CEO of a certain software company an invoice for my time restarting, reinstalling the OS and bug finding another similar app. You can image, I got a personal call...heh...

William-
 
 I just changed a folder of 85 images' names, and typed in 001 as my starting number. While no zeroes were prepended, the pix show up in order both in the Finder and in Bridge CS3.

Can i upload tiff file into mac to add labels to it.

i am new to mac and need to open a tiff file to add labels to it, I don't need to amend the image itself. Pages won't open it and I have also tried istudio. I just get the following message The document “garden.tiff” could not be opened. iStudio Publisher cannot open files in the “Preview Document” format. I have an iMac - using OS X Yosemite
Please help

Thanks Tom, but I want to add labels to the image and not just view it. Is there an application that will allow me to do that. I have spent hours googling and trying to sort myself but to no avail.
I have also, just briefly tried to use preview to open and then export the tif file but get the following message The document “garden.gif” could not be exported as “garden”. The volume is read only.

.pdf file renaming when emailing using regular button

Acrobate 8.0
I have created a form which is to be emailed in .pdf form and then submitted using a regular button set to mailto (#58 posting).
My problem is that when emailed the form takes on the original file name and I would like to have it take on a new name. The name can be in any naming convection.
Any help is appreciated!

You can create a Print Plugin Automator workflow that applies the Quartz filter to reduce the file size.
When Automator opens, choose the Print Plugin option, add Apply Quartz Filter to PDF files, and then add a Move Finder items, Open Finder Items. Save the workflow and it will appear in the PDF menu.
If you don't add the Move or Open action, you won't see the file. It creates a temp file that you must save. Somewhere on the Leopard Automator forums I have a post that has an Applescript to save the file.
The Move action works well when you want to save the file in a standard location. You can change the Options on the Move Action to show when it runs so that you can pick the destination.
If you use the Open action, you can then save as from the menu to save as you wish.
I tested it with a word doc and cut an 11.8 MB file down to 303KB.

Files required when creating add-on installer exe

Dear All Gurus/Experts,
I couldn't find out and almost give up to create installer of add-on. The add-on created using VB6. It is UI API addon (I know it based on answers to several add-on topic posted to this forum). When I want to create installer exe, I use 3 files : application.exe (vb exe), AddOnInstallAPI.dll and EndInstall.exe (vb exe). In the installer software, there is a feature named include installer that could be tick or not. Is this correct ? is it only application file required to create the installer ?
I appreciate your answers. TIA
Rgds,

You can use B1DE setup wizards also for addons built with VB6 or any other
language. It just takes the name of your addon files (executables / dll / etc) and
builds for you a B1 addon setup. Just as easy.
Regarding your thoughts about easiness of producing addons. This is exactly the
objective of B1DE. It contains several wizards to generate automatically code (in
C# or VB.NET) for your addons and shield you from all the needed mechanics
related to SDK.
And the tools do not stop only with development. You can download from here
also certification tools, profilers, browsers, test automation, etc etc etc. Go
under Business One SDK tools and download them. Several thousands of SDNers
already did.

Indesign crashes when I add a specific indd

win 7 sp3 - 17-2600 cpu, 12gig ram
I am building a book of multiple indd files (chapters).
when I add a particular indd file, indesign crashes.
this happens in both cs5, when add the file built in cs5
and it happens in cs6, when I add the file opened and resaved using cs6.
it happens if it is the 2nd or 5th indd file.
it does not happen if it is the first file to add to the book.
however, it typically crashes if I add a second indd file, and always crashes if I try to move any other indd file "before/above" it in the book, it crashes.
The file opens fine if I open it on its own. it is only 22 pages and many of the other chapters are 40-70 pages.
it is set to auto page # and auto chapter #.
Any ideas on what I can fix in the file so I can include it in my book!?
thanks!

I haven't done a Book in CS6 yet, but I'm starting to wonder if there might be some sort of bug (not extremely likely, but....) that's new. We had another post yesterday where ID crashed when trying to move a particular file into the chapter 5 position.
Can you add this file first, then move it to the correct spot after the other files are added?

I'm trying to write an Applescript: when I add a file to a folder, I want finder to name it "1" and increment the other files in the folder by 1. i.e. once I drop a new file into the folder, the file originally called "1" will be renamed "2" etc

I'm trying to write an Applescript. I have never used Applescript but my boss has just asked me to write a script so I dutifully nodded and said "Yes Boss"...
The funtionality I need is that I want finder to rename the files in folder when I drop a new file in. When I add the new file (file neame: "1") to a folder, I want to increment the other file names in the folder by 1.
So when I drop a my new "1" file into the folder, the file original file called "1" will be renamed "2", the original file named "2" will be renamed "3" etc
I'm creating a 'stream' of images. When I add a new image i want it to nudge the other images in the folder along.
Thanks guys!

File names get jumbled when using Add Folder to Library

I have a set of .mp3 files created by playing vinyl LPs into a software sound recorder. Each of these is named with a number as the first two characters of the file name (the track number) and then the name of the song.
I create the appropriate folder with the ArtistName and subfolder with the AlbumName in the Itunes directory and then copy the .mp3 files into the subfolder.
My problem occurs when I 'Add Folder to Library'. The .mp3 files don't change, but the names of the tracks listed in the Itunes library are goofed up. There is no strict pattern, but mainly it shows the 3rd track having the 2nd track's name, the 4th track has the 3rd track's name, etc. I have to go back and rename all the tracks to make the Itunes Library match the actual .mp3 files. (I can tell they are mis-assigned by the file sizes).
It might be a Windows-only thing, I'm not sure. Any idea how I can make the Itunes Library match its index to the actual files added when importing? Or is there some other technique I should use to import these .mp3 files?
It is possible it is related to the fact that that initially the internal data in the .mp3 files merely shows 'Freecorder' for the Album and Artist in every file.
Where can I report this as an 'official' bug to Apple?
Gregg Cattanach
Message was edited by: GreggCattanach

Actually, your suggestion was somewhat helpful. It wasn't the 'Freecorder' in the Artist and Album slots. But when I look at the properties of the files generated by Freecorder in Windows Explorer, it appears the internal file names are being mis-matched with the actual .mp3 file names, so it's Freecorder that's creating the problem.
Interesting. OK, It looks like it isn't an Itunes problem after all. But it's easy enough to edit the internal properties tags (Windows Explorer/ Right-Click / Properties / Summary) before I add the folder to Itunes.
Thanks.

When downloading a .csv file in Safari, it adds .xls, making the file filename.cvs.xls

When downloading a .csv file in Safari, it adds .xls, making the file filename.cvs.xls
If I rename the file, it opens just fine, if I don't it opens all in one column.
I had found a fix on my old macbook, but just got a new MBP and it's happening again.
Can't remember or find where the fix is.
Thanks!

That's from June 11, 2007!
Working from my defective memory, this happened to me, but stopped if I unchecked 'Open safe files after downloading' in Safari Preferences/General.
At least I think that's how I stopped it - it hasn't happened since!

Itunes freezes when renaming movies or add illustration

Hi, itunes freezes when i try to renaming movies or add illustration for 30 secondes.
Thanks you

After experiencing this probelm for forever and a day with countless minutes of time wasted, I HAVE A SOLUTION! Albeit one I stumbled on by accident.
Before you rename a file, double click the movie to start playing it, then "X" (close) out of the window playing to stop it playing. Then rename the file and it will work instantly.
Don't ask me why this works, it just does....!

AppleScript to handle the original file when I add an alias to a folder

I'm looking for a Folder Action to solve this problem:
When I add a file to a specific folder (the files added to this folder are always aliases), I want the original file of the alias to get his label color setted to another color.
How can I do this?
Jean-François

Hello
You may try something like the following script.
    This script can be run in three ways -
    [1] run as automator folder action; argv = {input, parameters} where input is alias list added to folder
    [2] run in editor; argv = script (self)
    [3] run as applescript folder action; argv = alias list added to folder
on run argv
    if argv's class = list then -- [1]
        _main(argv's item 1)
    else -- [2]
        choose file of type {"com.apple.alias-file"} with multiple selections allowed
        _main(result)
    end if
end run
on adding folder items to d after receiving argv -- [3]
    _main(argv)
end adding folder items to
on _main(argv)
    script o
        property |LABEL| : 4
            0   none
            1   orange
            2   red
            3   yellow
            4   blue
            5   purple
            6   green
            7   gray
        property aa : argv
        repeat with a in my aa
            set a to a's contents
            tell application "Finder"
                if item a's class = alias file then
                    set item a's original item's label index to |LABEL|
                end if
            end tell
        end repeat
    end script
    run script o
end _main
Briefly tested under OS X 10.6.8.
* Note that folder action can be very slow to be triggered.

You can't do that.
And before you decide to store any music that you own on a computer at work, talk to your IT department. Many organizations do not permit it for legal reasons. Standard policies are that anything stored on company owned computers is the property of the company. It could not be legally stored on their machines unless you transfer the licenses and all copies, physical and digital, to the company, meaning you no longer own the music. If they were to be audited and could not prove that they own the music, they would be subject to copyright violation penalties. Just use your iPod when you're at the office if you want to listen to music.
