HELP!!!! File name / document title metadata question

Is there any way to have the file name and the document title carry over to one another?
I am doing a huge selection of images for our stock agency and have figured out how to add a simple bit of information to our in-house file names for example 11130-005.08D_IOTW (the _IOTW is what I have had to add for a submission) in lightroom in the file name local on the right of the screen when doing metadata....
HOWEVER, we also need the document title/title and I don't want to have to open each seperate image and apply the simple _IOTW to each title.
Is there anyway to instantaneously add the _IOTW to the title just like one can with the file name?
HELP!!!???

Check out LR/Transporter by Timothy Armes. It has the capability of modifying metadata fields, including Title. If I understand your needs correctly, it should do what you want.

Original file name preserved in metadata but not being found in searches (Mac)

I have a large collection of images (a mix of raw, tif, and jpg files) that I would like to rename. Because some are referred to in other documents by their original names, and because I can't track down every single version that might exist in other folders, I would like to preserve their original (current) filenames in their metadata so that searching for these old names will locate the renamed files.
I experimented by renaming a few JPGs with the "Preserve current filename in XMP Metadata" option checked. While the original filename does appear in the metadata under "Camera Raw," it does not turn up in searches performed using command-f (in Finder), Spotlight, or even Bridge. I have not yet tried this on TIFs or raw files, but:
What am I doing wrong?
Technical details:
Bridge CS6
Mac OS 10.6.8
MacBook Pro
Final note: Bridge does not seem to generate a sidecar xmp file. Would it do this for a jpg?
Thank you for the help!

I tried it and it works for me. It inserts the preserved filename under the filename line. You probably need this field checked in metadata preferences.
It looks like the preserved file name is stored in the XMP sidecar data. I tried a test Find but the preserved filename does not show up.
If one slips up on the batch rename, or go back to original, one can revert to original by going back to batch rename and selecting "preserved filename" in new filenames box.

How to convert a file name to title case

hi,
I have document library where name is displayed for the file that is uploaded. How do I convert the name to a calculated column =PROPER([name])? I've tried creating a new column, which is a calculated field =PROPER([name]) but it doesn't recognized
the field. There is the title column which I can do a =PROPER([title]), but the title field isn't necessarily the same as the file name. Ideally, I want to convert to title case for any file uploaded. so the Name column is in the PROPER case. Thanks.

"Title" is a field on the entity in the database. "Name" is what uniquely identifies the SPFile underlying the document.
So you can think of Title as pretty arbitrary; you can change it just like you would change any other property (description, etc.) but if you change the Name, it is akin to moving the file. Names must be unique in folders/webs.

Long file name document is not uploading in SharePoint Document library?

Hi,
My pdf file name length is more than "90" character. I could not upload this file by using "Open with explorer" option.
Could any one tell me the way to upload kind of files?
Thanks & Regards

There is a limitation set by Microsoft on the URL path length of 256 characters, refer - https://technet.microsoft.com/en-in/library/ff919564(v=office.14).aspx
This restriction is with IE browser and you will not see this in other browsers.

Batch document title from file name?

Forgive the newb question on a fairly simple matter.
I want to create File Info: Document Titles from file names, minus the extension, for about 400 images.
Is this possible with Batch rename, if so what am I missing?
Thanks,

I am unclear how a batch rename will enter data into File Info: Document Title.
I have never used them but you might look at metadata templates. Several sites on web on how to set them up and what they will do for you.

Refinement Panel show "file name" values with question mark instead of spaces

Hi,
I customized Refinement Panel to refine by file name. In some cases the value (file name) is shown with question mark instead of space. It looks like gibberish and the refine by that value doesn't bring the result.
Any ideas how to solve?

How to set "Title" as "File Name" in iPhoto 5?

iPhoto lets you batch rename the title for your photo library of a given roll. So if you have say "Vacation" you can set title to all the photos in there as Vacation -1 , Vacation -2 etc. etc. But, this is just the title for iphoto database. The actual filename will still be as IMG_xxx.jpg (or whatever is default in your digital camera).
Is there a way to set the Title as File name ?? I already have 1000+ photos iphoto and title is all set as my Roll Name - xx . But it will be great to have file names set as the title too.
I think I can batch rename in Image Capture before downloading the files, but then I have to again import those in iPhoto , so its two step process and inconvenient.
So, does anyone know how to set File name as Title ( you can only do other way around in iPhoto, I think) ? Any script available which can read iPhoto title and set the file name as Title? Thanks.

Hi kothrush,
You must rename in the Finder first, before importing into iPhoto.
You cannot do it after importing into iPhoto. Well, you can. You can share export the renamed images to the desktop. Delete the ones in iPhoto, then import the renamed ones back into iPhoto. That's a lot more steps.
Whatever you do, you cannot rename any images in the Finder that are already in the iPhoto Library or iPhoto will lose the link to the images.

Copy a file name to its own metadata

I am re-organizing a large database of images. I do want to rename all the files but I need to keep the original file name for future reference. Is there a way to copy the original file name to the metadata without having to do it by hand (one by one)? I'm using Photoshop CS2, Bridge or Lightroom with a Mac running on OSX 10.4.8 and enough ram.

I have Bridge CS2 and CS3 and for some reason the CS3 version has the "Preserve Filename..." checkbox grayed out and I cannot figure out why. I was also looking for a way to view the "Preserved Filename..." and the only way I could do this was by using Bridge CS2 (since it isn't working for me in CS3), going to rename the file I am trying to view the old name on, and select "Preserved Filename" under the dropdown menu. This is a huge hastle and for some reason Lightroom 1.0 does not have the capability of preserving filenames at all! The DAM capabilities of Lightroom truly need work, but it is a wonderful application nonetheless, and I use it now for everything and haven't needed to use Bridge since I got Lightroom.

File name too long cannot copy (cont'd)

This is a continuation of the post started September 01, 2009, with the last post on
October 17, 2011 named File name too long cannot copy
Since this is an ongoing unsolved issue, and the thread was locked, it continues here.
It is ever so easy to create a long file/path using explorer.exe as will be shown below.
What needs to be solved is, what is an easy way (no, not by listing out all the files in a directory to a text file and counting characters), perhaps using a shell extension, to find out which files in a directory and it's subdirectories will be (or were)
too long to copy, (and then perhaps even copying those over either intact or renamed)?

I'm running the 7100 build...enjoying it except for one big thing:
While attempting to copy 402gb from my main storage volume onto a spare 500gb drive (for the purpose of changing to a new RAID array) I've come across something that I would expect a Windows 98 OS to give me.
It tells me that a file has TOO LONG of a file name, then provides with two unhelpful options: SKIP or CANCEL
I never had XP give me an issue like this at all, so what gives? And while some specific files did have long file names (such as for songs, etc.) it had 7 issues with folders stating that their name was too long, but in fact they were not since they were
titled '07-06-07' for the date that I dumped the audio files in them. However, they may have contained FILES with long file names though.
Anyone else get this same situation? Perhaps the RTM version does not do this? Can anyone verify this regarding their install of the RC or the RTM?
It made it through 400gb out of the 402gb transfer.
I'm just happy to see that it doesn't spazz out about an issue like this until it has done all the other transfers that it can do because it saves the issues it has with files until the very end. In XP it would spazz about it the moment it came across it
causing the transfer process to halt.
Since long path/file names can so easily be created on Win7, it might be useful to see a typical way this happens, which might then give clues how to work with them.
In Windows Vista, we learnt from:
File names and file name extensions: frequently asked questions that:
Windows usually limits file names to 260 characters. But the file name must actually be shorter than that, since the complete path (such as C:\Program Files\filename.txt) is included in this character count.
In Windows 7, we are told here:
File names and file name extensions: frequently asked questions that:
It depends on the length of the complete path to the file (such as C:\Program Files\filename.txt). Windows limits a single path to 260 characters. This is why you might occasionally get an error when copying a file with a very long file name to a location
that has a longer path than the file's original location.
From the Windows Dev Center - Desktop, we read about Maximum Path Length Limitation here:
Naming Files, Paths, and Namespaces
This helps us understand why a folder can be a maximum of 244 characters, from the defined 260 length of MAX_PATH as follows:
260 minus C:\ (3) minus <NUL> (1) = 256
256 minus 8.3 file name (12) = 244
We also learn there that: The Windows API has many functions that also have Unicode versions to permit an extended-length path for a maximum total path length of 32,767 characters.
And we read the claim that: The shell and the file system have different requirements. It is possible to create a path with the Windows API that the shell user interface is not be able to interpret properly.
There is also a comment below this document that reads: In a previous iteration of this document, it is mentioned that The Unicode versions of several functions permit a maximum path length of approximately 32,000 characters composed of components up to
255 characters in length. This information is now gone.
So we are in a position where the file system and Windows API can create long path/flies that the shell cannot handle.
But then we need to be able to handle it, so a little exploration might lead to a better understanding of how to do this.
For most tasks being performed on long folder/files, Windows 7 and other Windows programs balk when the Path+Filename length > 260
Let's create a long path/file.
Create a folder called A at the root of a Drive.
Create a sub-folder of A called: B
Create a sub-folder of B called: C
Make a FILE in sub-folder C called (no spaces or break, one long continuous string): 123456789A123456789B123456789C123456789D123456789E123456789F123456789G123456789H123456789I123456789J 123456789K123456789L123456789M123456789N123456789O123456789P123456789Q123456789R123456789S123456789T

Rename sub-folder B to the same full string above. (The actual directory created will be slightly shorter than this full length but 2 characters longer than the step above.)

You have a folder length of over 700 and a file length of over 250 for a total of over 950
However you will notice that each folder, when created, could only be a maximum of 247 charachters including the path (example C:\ , & C:\A , & C:\A\B
This only applies backwards, that is up the path. It did not matter what was further down the path.
Now, you can't easily access or rename the file, but you can rename the folders easily.
For best results, start renaming from the top of the Tree, working down the subfolders, because renaming from down up will limit you, and in fact won't work if the folder lengths are too long.
So how might knowing this help us?
Well, to copy this long_file from the C:\ drive to the D:\ drive, and keeping the path structure, this should work:
Note the name of the top folder. Rename it to something very short, say: A (Make sure C:\A does not exist)
Note the name of the 2nd folder. Rename it to something very short, say: B (Make sure C:\A\B does not exist)
Note the name of the 3rd folder. Rename it to something very short, say: C (Make sure C:\A\B\C does not exist)
Make sure D:\A does not exist - then copy the A folder on disk C: to disk D: (which gives you D:\A\B\C\long_file
Rename D:\A\B\C to D:\A\B\Original_3rd_Folder_name
Rename D:\A\B to D:\A\B\Original_2nd_Folder_name
Rename D:\A to D:\Original_top_Folder_name
Rename C:\A\B\C back to their original names, in this same reverse order starting with C, then B, then A
Note: If using Explorer, at some points you might have to press the F5 refresh key.
This is of course how you might copy such long path/files without using the other more "easy" techniques for the "normal" everyday user like:
sharing a sub-folder
using the commandline to assign a drive letter by means of SUBST
using AddConnectionunder VB to assign a drive letter to a path
using the "\\?\" prefix to a path string to tell the Windows APIs to disable all string parsing and to send the string that follows it straight to the file system
and so on.
See how simple Windows can be for Dummies!
But then, how can we know that files to be copied exceed this MAX_PATH? Or also after a copy has taken place, know exactly which files that have NOT been copied because of exceeding the MAX_PATH limit, and then a procedure to copy these either by renaming
them, or by copying them intact as they are?
There have been suggestions to use
LongPathTool, but this does not have a facility to check a series of folders and tell you which files are going to be caught by the error when copying. So once a copy has taken place using Windows 7, one does not know which files did not get copied, and
where exactly they are located.
Neither does the free
Old Path Scanner do that. It can only check for overly long directory paths, but misses out when the directory path is within limits, but adding in the file name puts it out of bounds.
So, as shown above, it is ever so easy to create a long file/path using explorer.exe
So, what then is an easy way (no, not by listing out all the files in a directory to a text file and counting characters), perhaps using a shell extension, to find out which files in a directory and it's subdirectories will be (or were) too long to copy,
(and then perhaps even copying those over either intact or renamed)?

This is a not a "solution" ....but a "work around": a low tech fix....for error message "your file name is too long to be copied, deleted, renamed, moved" :
1.   problem is this: the "file name" has a limit on number of characters.....the sum of characters really includes the entire path name; you gotta shorten it first (i.e, if the total number of characters in the file name + Path name are over the
limit, the error appears). The deeper your file folder sub levels are, the more this problem will come up, especially when you copy to a subfolder of a subfolder/subfolder of another path ...adds to character limit)
2. How do you know which combined file names + path names are too long if you are in the middle of a copy operation and this error pops up? Some files copied but the "long files error message" says "skip" or "cancel" ... but not which
files are the "too long" ones. If you hit "skip" or "cancel" the "too long" files are left behind...but are mixed in with non-offender "good" "short name" files.   Sorting thru 1000s of "good" files to find a few "bad" ones manually is impractical.
3.   Here's how you sort out the "bad" from the "good":
4.    Let's say you want to copy a folder ..."Football" ...that has five layers of subfolders; each subfolder contains numerous files:
C:/1 Football / 2 teams/ 3 players/ 4 stats/ 5 injuriessidelineplayerstoolong
       There are five levels root "1 football" with subfolders 2, 3, 4 and lastly "5 injuries"
5.    Use "cut" and "paste" (for example to backup all five levels to a new backup folder):
       select "1 football" ....cut....select target folder....paste
       ("cut" command means as the files are copied to the target destination, the file is deleted from the source location)
      Hint: avoid "cut" and "paste" to a target folder that is itself a sub/sub/sub folder ...that compounds the "characters over the limit" problem ...because the characters in the sub/sub/sub folder are included in the "file name
character limit"...instead "paste" to a C:/ root directory.
       Suppose in the middle of this operation...error pops up: "5 files have file names that are too long" Skip or cancel?
       select "skip" ...and let operation finish
6.    Now go back and look at the source location: since the software allows only the "good" "short name" files to be copied (and because you "skipped" the "bad" "Long name" files so they are not copied or deleted) ...all that remains
in the source location are the "bad" "long name files" (because "good" ones were deleted from the source location after the "cut" operation...the bad ones stick out like a sore thumb.
7.   You will find ....all that remains in source folders are: the "bad" "too long" files; in this example the "bad" file is in level 5:
      C:/ 1 football / 2 teams /3 players /4 stats /5 injuriessidelineplayerstoolong
8.   select folder 5 injuriessidelineplayerstoolong (that's right...select folder, not file) gotta rename the folder first.
9. hit F2 rename folder..folder name highlighted...delete some of the letters in the folder name:
       like this:   5 injuriessidelineplayers ....you should delete 'toolong'....from the folder name
10. then go into folder 5....and do the same operation ...with the too long file name:
        hit F2 rename file....file name hightlighted...delete some of the letters
           like this: injuriessidelineplayers.....you should delete 'toolong' from the file name
11. Now..."cut and paste" the renamed file to the target backup folder.
The Error message will pop up again if you missed any "bad" files....for example, it will indicate "5 files too long" ....then repeat process 5 times until you fix all of them
12.    Finally, copy the target destination files back to the source location (when you are certain all source location file folder locations are empty)
Of course, this "makeshift" solution would not be necessary if MSFT would fix the problem...

Xmp preserved file name

I like to check the 'Preserve current file name in XMP metadata' box when using the Batch Rename in Bridge so I can possibly use the original name after running the batch renaming. But I cannot seem to locate where the "current file name" is stored in the metadata and how I can then access it to search or sort the files by their original names after the renaming has been done. I think this should be a relatively simple procedure so maybe this is a dumb question to ask... Can anyone help me? RL

Look in File Info "Raw Data" tab for
xmpMM:PreservedFileName="[filename.ext]"
for camera raw files this metadata term also will be in an xmp sidecar file created by a batch rename operation (assuming you have selected save image settings to sidecar xmp files in your camera raw preferences).

How to add file name by sqlldr

Hi All,
Can anyone kindly give me an approach to use a variable in a sql loader ctl file. I am trying to add the value before each insert of row and this value is the file name. So the question is how can I dynamically identify the input data file name, if not, is there a way I can make my SQL Loader to insert a value (file name) before each row into the table.
my control file like below ,
LOAD DATA
INTO TABLE "user"."AAA_BILL"
APPEND
REENABLE DISABLED_CONSTRAINTS
EXCEPTIONS "USER"."AAA_BILL"
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '|'
(Streamnumber ,
MSID ,
UserName,
Domain,
UserIP ,
Correlation_ID)and the loading script as below ,
for j in $(GetFileNames)
do
let i=$i+1
sqlldr user/pass control="/u01/ctrlfile/loadBILLDtl.ctl" log=$WiMAXlog$j.log data=$WiMAXsource$j bad=$WiMAXlog$j.bad
GetFileNames ()
sqlplus -s user/pass << EOF
set echo off
SET FEEDBACK OFF
SET heading off
set pagesize 50000
select bi_file_name from dbm_bill_head where bi_file_name like 'WiMAX_%' and bi_auto_status=35 order by bi_file_name;
EOF
}What I am trying to accomplish here is, I want to insert the data file name along with other data in the data file into table AAA_BILL and this table has the file name coloumn, but the data file does not contain the file name as one of its contents.
Note : my DB is 10G and OS is RHEL
any help please ,

Hi,
Now it is working just well.
I kept 2 variables: one with the POSIX file path for my do shell script and another one (using the provided tip here) for the Applescript function.
The only problem I had left was that teh file was writen in, maybe, UTF8 so I added to the open for access a "as text" at the end to make the file as straith text file.
I always found languages like Applescript a little bit hard to learn. Strangely, I have less difficulty with Cocoa!
Thanks for avery one here!

Missing Breadcrumbs Caused by Similar File Names

But when I changed the file name of the parent topic from General_Ledger_Options.htm to GenLdgrOpt.htm, the breadcrumbs appeared correctly in the output for the parent and child topics.
This stragegy for fixing the breadcrumb problem seems to be hit-or-miss. For example, I've tried the same approach to fix another topic and have had no success so far. Is there anything about how breadcrumbs are generated that would explain how renaming the file would fix the problem?

Rick,
I think you are right about the file name length being an important factor, but the cause doesn't seem to be as simple as a too-deep nesting level. I was able to fix the problem in another topic by shortening the file name of the topic that preceded it at the same level.
The one hard case that remains is a topic that contains a lot of bookmarked subheadings. I found that if I cut that topic's number of subheading TOC entries to 33, the breadcrumbs for the topic worked, but with 34 TOC entries, they did not. My best guess is that there is a limitation of some kind on the internal aggregation of TOC information -- including information about siblings and children.
By the way, I also tried inserting breadcrumb placeholders, instead of automatically generating them. That caused RoboHelp to crash (instead of just failing to add breadcrumbs to the offending topic). When I removed the placeholder from the bad topic, it worked OK with the other topics.

Saving internet file now results is meaningless alphanumeric file name instead of doc name

A few weeks ago reader X suddenly started puting all the tools (like save file) back in the top of the window. They were missing for quite some time and very frustrating. I could find no way to bring them back. Now, however, whenever I save an internet file, a short meaningless alphanumeric name is inserted rather than using the file name/document name that has always been used before. Is there a way to return this to previous behaviour?

Hi,
I'm sorry you are having this problem, here is another post about the same problem, where the cause of the problem is described:

Getting file name without adding asset

Here's the set up-
I use Watch Folders to compress videos for DVD, and I don't want to add the original files as assets. However, I want part of the watcher to be a script response that creates a text file with the same name as the original file. I haven't been able to pass the file name as a parameter- it keeps passing the MetaData field name. I've tried File Name and Title (I used quotes and brackets- can't show that on here, it makes it into links).
I'm guessing I'm either using the wrong metadata field or this is impossible, because there is no metadata.

I thought I had a solution for you, but upon testing it I discovered an unfortunate reality with the way FCSvr reports job status.
You can subscribe to jobs and have that subscription feed the values of the job's fields to a script. The jobs don't track elapsed time, but they do stamp time for \[Updated] at the creation of the job, during the job, and at the close of the job.
I tested this by creating one email response that will send me an email with the timestamp value of \[Updated] and a subject line of \[Job ID] \[Status] to tell them apart. I made two subscriptions, one that would fire upon the creation of a job that executes the response, and one that would fire on the modification of a job filtered for a status of "DONE".
The problem is, the \[Updated] timestamp does not ever change in the metadata, it just gets updated in the GUI separately. More digging found the same is true for the \[Progress] field.
You could have had two scripts, one that writes a timestamp to a file at the creation of a job with the first subscription that is filtered for the kind of thing you bill for based on whatever job field values, and another that finds the difference with the end timestamp at the close with the second subscription that is filtered for the kind of thing you bill for based on whatever job field values plus a \[Status] that equals "DONE". There would be a margin of error of a few seconds, but that just means you could round your billing up to the next minute.
But alas, the job metadata never updates beyond the first values. In fact, if you open a job from the queue after it completes, the timestamp reverts to the initial value.
Maybe you could have the script write a timestamp itself when it runs rather than trying to pull one from the job's metadata...

Custom File Name-Original File Number doesn't work. Why?

I want to export and rename some files with the "Custom File Name-Original File Number" option. Yet this doesn't seem to work, and I wondered what I might be doing wrong. The filename will only rename as the custom text.
The sample file name shown underneath has a dash after the custom text bit, but then the extension only eg Newname-.tif
I am now using LR 4.2 but I seem to remember doing this renaming OK with an earlier version (though I can't remember which). This suggest that either there is a problem with this specific version or that I have something set differently to the way I had it initially. I am hoping the latter is the case. Any suggestions as to how to fix this would be welcome!

I am sorry to report that i don't know how to create a screenshot. However, what I am getting, exact;ly is this:
From Library grid view: F2 or Library>Rename Photo
Then little screen appears with heading Rename Photo:
File Naming> set to Custom Name - Original File Number
Custom Text> NewFilenameHere
Example: NewFilenameHere-.tif
Clicking on OK changes the filename to just the custom text without the original file number. Original File name shows in metadata eg DSC01129-Edit.tif
The only way i seem to be able to get the original file number with the custom text is to include it manually as part of the custom text.

HELP!!!! File name / document title metadata question
