How to batch rename images with YYYMMDD-City-State, type of format

I want to change the names of my files to YYYMMDD-City-State, type of format.. I tried using the file naming template but all that show on the photos is the date.file extension. What am I doing wrong
Thanks
Mike

You need one other file name specification - such as original file number - because each file name needs to be unique, and the format Date-City-State alone doesn't create unique file names.
In the Library Module go >Library >Rename photo, and in the box that comes up click on the small triangle on the right of the field. This will bring up the file name editor.
In the file name editor you have to select four specifications for the file name. See screen shot:
Click <Done> and save the preset.

How to batch rename with index/counter all files in a project?

I have a project with files named with an index (I believe that is the correct term). For example, the files are named XX1, XX2, and so on. However, some files have the same name because I imported from two different memory cards, without thinking to set the starting number for the second import into the same project. I would like to batch rename all of the files (masters and versions) with a consecutive index (1, 2, 3, and so on). How can this be done? I have found in the manual the way to do this on import, but not how to correct my mistake now. Thanks!

I would like to batch rename all of the files (masters and versions) with a consecutive index (1, 2, 3, and so on).
Select the images in the project and then use ( from the main Aperture application menu)
Matadata -> Batch Change (Shift-Command-B)
Set the Version Name format to one of the "Custom with Index ..." or "Custom with Counter ..." formats and check "Apply to Master Files". Make sure you disable all other changes that you do not want, like Time Zone correction, or keywords.

Why is bridge cs4 skipping files when batch renaming images?

When batch renaming in bridge, I select all the files and then start with the first image to rename them. Over the last few months, it is randomly skipping images. It will also jump the number that image should have gotten, so typically we can manually go through and rename the file so it will line up properly.
Just wondering why this is happening all of the sudden when it worked perfectly for years!

Sorry Patrick, Did not see the previews before, only saw the thread via
email and they don't show the samples you provide.
After seeing those files it looks definitely like corrupted images. I cannot
imagine Bridge to cause this. Rereading your post, it more looks the result
of a bad functioning write/read process on the external HD or a bad USB
cable.
Assuming you have back up could you test this on either an other HD or a
DVD. Just copy the files again to those devices and retry. That would proof
the fault lies with the external HD.
Could you report back on that?
Thanks for your tips. I tried, BUT didnt solve my problem.
Have you seen how the pictures are distracted ?
They seem hav gotten some kind of alien-verystrange-crazy-adjusments

How to batch rename filenames based on metadata tags

// Hello,
I have a few hundred photos I need to batch rename pulling the info from the metadata caption tags (Each caption is unique).
What I need to do can happen just on export if necessary. I've tried Aperture 2 and Automator but no luck.
Any advice would be great. Thank you,

Batch Renaming Image Files from a list of names

I would like to use the batch rename function in Bridge CS5 to quickly rename newly uploaded image files of our products. I would like to rename the image to it's corresponding product number. The issue is that the product numbers aren't in exact numerical order (ie. the first pic is of product ES2004 and the next one is for ES2012). The product numbers can sometimes end with a letter or a number. The pictures are taken in order of the product numbers on an excel sheet. What's the easiest way to have bridge name the image file to its corresponding part number?

Here is an example script that will do the re-naming also place the original filename into the metadata.
CSV format is fileName,Product IE:
p1020337.jpg,E179562
p1020338.jpg,Z556301
Copy and paste the script into ExtendScript Toolkit (This gets installed with Photoshop)
Open Bridge
Edit > Preferences > Startup Scripts
Click "Reveal My Startup Script"
Save the script into this folder.
Close and restart Bridge and accept the new script.
To use, navigate to the folder with the documents to rename, "Right mouse click Menu" select "Rename to Product" and select your csv file.
#target bridge
if( BridgeTalk.appName == "bridge" ) {
fileNameToProduct = MenuElement.create("command", "Rename to Product", "at the end of Thumbnail");
fileNameToProduct.onSelect = function () {
renameToProduct();
function renameToProduct(){
var Path =app.document.presentationPath;
var descFile = File.openDialog("Open Product File","CSV File(*.csv):*.csv;");
if(descFile == null) return;
descFile.open('r');
var datFile=[];
while(!descFile.eof){
var line = descFile.readln();
if(line.length > 5) datFile.push(line);
descFile.close();
for(var t in datFile){
var str=datFile[t];
str= str.split(',');
var fileName = File(Path+"/"+ str.shift());
var product = str.shift();
if(!fileName.exists) continue;
var ext = fileName.toString().toLowerCase().match(/[^\.]+$/);
var thumb = new Thumbnail(fileName);
var md = thumb.synchronousMetadata;
md.namespace = "http://ns.adobe.com/xap/1.0/mm/";
md.PreservedFileName = thumb.name;
$.sleep(100); //give it time to update the metadata
var newName = product + "." +ext;
fileName.rename(newName);
alert("All done");

Batch Renaming images

I have just shot a job involving about 850 bracketed images. I imported them into AP with master image names. I have now edited through and deleted a bunch of them, leaving big gaps in my numbers. I would like to go back & rename using a job specific name and sequence number. Can anybody tell me how to accomplish this. I have been looking at the manual under batch, but so far have been unsuccessful.
Thanks

batch change under metadata menu ...
or command-shift-b ...
you can make your own presets to use later ...

Batch Rename Images

I'm trying out PSE11 at the moment and it does look and feel nice. I have my photos in various folders followed by a folder named as the year so i have everything in years.
Example :- Photos_2010
01_01_10
02_01_10 etc.
When i import the photos into the organizer i want to rename the photos to something like Photo0001 and 02 etc. (25 images in the first folder)
When i then import photos from the 02_01_10 folder i want that to start at the next number (Photo0026, 27 etc.
How do i go about naming them as Photo as it puts a - after the name, all i want is Photo00001 etc. and how do i get the number count to increment from the last number - Is this possible ?
Thanks,
Mark

It does exactly what i need but when i import from a folder after they are named accordingly it doesn't show the Year 2010 as the top folder - Example
Top folder 2010_Photos Sub Folder 06_03_2010 Under My Folders on the left hand side it only shows 06_03_2010
How do get it to display 2010_Photos with 06_03_10 underneath.
Also when i preview the thumbnails they are not displayed in file name order. It starts with Photo0035, 36 etc. at the top - I want it to start with Photo0001,0002 etc. If it's displayed in order it's easier to see what the next starting number will be when i run Process Multiple Files for another folder.

How to batch rename iPhoto photo-files?

Hi there,
I do have some 15.000 photos in my library and many of them do have the same names (digital camera or digital disc transfer).
So when I just want to copy some photos to another folder or whatever, i run into some problems because many photos carry the same name, they cant be saved into one folder.
Do i have a chance of batch renamining the FILENAMES of my iPhoto library without damaging anything?

You can select the files you want to rename, right click and choose "Batch Change". Select the title, select Text, and then type in a name... click on the checkbox to append a sequence number to the photo.
OR if you want to go through and manually select photos and rename them, just edit their title.
NOW for the tricky part. This renames the image in the iPhoto library, but as you mentioned, the filenames are not being changed. Select the photos you just renamed, and export them (from the file menu). You then can direct iPhoto to export them using the TITLE rather than the existing original file name. Look in the folder, and you will see that you have new files created with the title as the filename instead.
This can be confusing, but just remember iPhoto IS a database, not a file browser (like Finder).

Is there a way to batch rename images after import?

After importing images and doing some further organization of my old library, I want to give the names a more descriptive name. Is this possible after I have already imported the images?

You can change the Version Name (what you see in Aperture) at any time, either manually or with the Batch Change function. Changing the name of the actual file is more tricky and only possible with referenced Masters.

How to batch resize images in Photoshop? [was:request information and courtesy]

Good evening, my name is gianluca. Let me ask you this information and courtesy : you could write me step by step procedures (or email me the link to the instructions in Italian or alternatively in English) to be followed in Photoshop to resize in one fell swoop with the same height and width in cm all jpg file (containing passport photos) present within the same folder, thus avoiding open every single jpg file and resize it?
I hope for your help

A process can be automated in Photoshop in different ways using one of Photoshop batching feature ther are more then one and it can be done by other image processing programs. However in all cases your image files will need to to opened decoded into an image processed to produce the images files you want and output files saved.
It not possible to give you a step by step for you left out much needed infomation. Like will all files being process have the same aspect ratio and if its the same aspect ratio as your desired passport images. Passport images should not be distorted. If Aspect ratios differ will a centered crop be OK. etc

How to batch consolidate images?

When I choose File > Save As > PDF, a process runs that says it is consolidating duplicate backgrounds and duplicate fonts, and optimizing for fast view. This process reduces my 600MB PDFs to 90MB. And it does it in about 2 minutes per-PDF. I like this option.
The problem is I can't figure out how to apply this process to a batch of PDFs. The optimizer simply WILL NOT RUN on my 600MB PDFs. Acrobat consumes almost 4GB of RAM, and then crashes, after about 15 minutes. This happens whether I use File > Save As > Reduced Size or Optimized PDF, or whether I choose to use the optimizer as part of an Action Wizard. Whatever is happening here is a DIFFERENT process from a simple File > Save As.
How the heck do I do what File > Save As does to a batch? Or, if I can't, then how the hell do I get the optimizer to run on 600MB PDFs without crashing and taking 15 minutes?

ok, I see that it's not possible for now. Submitted Feedback to Apple.

How to batch rename from a CSV file?

Hello,
I have about 1000 photos that need to be renamed with UPC's from a CSV file. Is there a script (or easier way) to import a CSV column and add it to the file extension?
Example:
_MG_5200.CR2 would need to read 00726899281640_MG_5200.CR2

There are a number of csv to ldif options out there. If you want to drop your users into WLS, then formatting into an ldif is the easiest way to bulk load.

Batch rename files on the server?

Can someone explain how to batch rename files on the server ?
I have 1000 rows each containing these fields
id (unique key)
productCode
filename1
filename2
For every row I need to rename the following fields:
Rename [filename1] to [productCode]_[id]_1
Rename [filename2] to [productCode]_[id]_2
also I need to rename the actual file on the server using the above scheme
Can someone show me the way ? I'm a little rusty with ColdFusion

So far I've got everything working apart from CFFILE which works only if it finds a corresponding jpeg file on the server. In other words it works perfectly until row 20 of the database because the filename contained in the field doesn't have a matching jpeg file on the server, so CFFILE fails like this...
Attribute validation error for tag CFFILE.
The value of the attribute source, which is currently C:\images\DSCN1293.JPG, is invalid.
The error occurred in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\link\htdocs\old_apps\psp\updater.cfm: line 63
61 :                    action = "rename"
62 :                    source = #my_source1#
63 :                    destination = #my_destination1#>
is there a way to carry on looping through the remaining rows and ignore the above fail ?
