How to I find the file name of a photo in iPhoto '11?

I am trying to simply find the actual file name of any photo in iPhoto 2011, so when searching for a specific file in other programs, I can look for it directly. I am fairly new to OS X, and so this might be very easy to others, however I thought I would simply ask.
I am working with a MacBook Pro, without a retina display, running OS X Lion 10.7.4.
Thanks!

I recently had to re-index my harddrive because of a similar reason (search results not populating accurately, even though the files were there) and so I am beginning to wonder. Consider something as easy as adding a photo to my profile here was tough because when searching for the file name I could not locate the appropriate photo. Although I used your suggestion (make a copy on desktop), and then select it directly, it would be much easier to search in the "upload" window, i.e. finder, and then move on.
Thanks again for your help!

  • How do I find the file name of the current desktop picture?

    I've tried going to System Prefs, right-clicking on the desktop, and rifling through the pictures folder to visually match the picture.
    Isn't there an easy way to find out what the name of the current desktop picture file?

    ...and, when I double-clicked on the plist file, it opened OmniOutliner, which did a great job of sorting through all the machine-speak of the file, displaying it in an organized (outline) fashion. I was able to track down the missing picture and replace it on the desktop. Thanks!

  • How do I find the file name on a picture while it is still in the iPhone?

    I have one picture file that won't download despite being a .jpg file.  iPhoto says it is an unrecognizable format. Trying to figure out what picture it is, or a way to delete the file and thus the annoying message with each sync.

  • How do I find the file size of an album in iPhoto

    I'm a iMac newbie and I need your help! I need to determine how large an album is in iPhoto so I can figure out how big of a thumb drive I need to store these pictures for my digital frame. On my PC I would just right click on the file. That obviously doesn't work here. I saw a similar question in the forum that said to go to the Photos menu, but my only options there are: Adjust date and time, batch change, rotate clockwise, rotate counterclockwise, my ratings, edit photo, flag photo, hide photo, detect missing faces, duplicate and delete.
    Thanks in advance for your assistance!

    Select the album, Select all photos in the album, then click on the info button.   Number of photos and total size are on  top of info pane.

  • How do I change a file name of a photo

    I am new to the Mac and running Yoesomite. I wanted to know can I change the file name of a photo in iPhoto.  If not, then is the process to export the file to the desktop and then change the file name using cmd i.  I used to be able to do this in Windows easily but now I am not sure how to do this on a Mac.

    You can take the photo you need from iPhoto Library in Pictures. Click it with right mouse button and choose Show Package Contents. In that folder that opens, choose Masters and now you can find the photo that you needed, but it will take some time as there are many folders and some may be empty. Copy that photo to Desktop and do what you want from that point.
    Don't do that.
    It's utterly unnecessary, slow and difficult and worse, risks dataloss.
    Use the simple and supported ways.
    Export using File -> export, or use a Media Browser.
    When uploading to Wordpress there is no need to rename the file. Just upload it from the Media Browser (*see below) and you can title it in the Wordpress dialogue.

  • How to find the File name using the FTP Adapter

    hi all,
    how to find the File name using the FTP Adapter with BPEL.
    Regards

    Found the solution for this.
    First In the mediator's routing rule use assign property $in.property.jca.file.FileName to $out.property.jca.file.FileName
    In the BPEL's receive activity go to the properties tab and get the property to a BPEL variable. That should do it.
    Thanks for the posts

  • Finding the file name with Regular Expression

    Hello All,
    I am having some requirment to find the file name for the input provided parameter.
    In my program i am having an input parameter for file name. This contains both the file name and file stored location.
    Example : C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\xs234fs\Desktop\TEST_123_44.txt
    From the above example string i need to find only the file name that is TEST_123_44.txt by using Regular expression.
    Please let me know how to get this.
    Thank you ver much in advance.
    Thanks,
    Feroz.

    Hello,
    If you have attached an F4 help to the filename input param, in that you can use the FM: GUI_FILE_SAVE_DIALOG.
    In this there is a return param FILENAME which contains the name of the file.
    AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR P_FILE.
          CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_FILE_SAVE_DIALOG'
           EXPORTING
             window_title            = TEXT-001
             default_extension       = p_extens
             default_file_name       = ls_deffile
             initial_directory       = ls_initdet
           IMPORTING
             filename                = ls_filename "This contains the filemame
             path                    = ls_path
             fullpath                = ls_fullpath
             user_action             = ls_usaction.
    Else if you have hardcoded the filename in the input field you can use rthe FM: PC_SPLIT_COMPLETE_FILENAME to split the filenames into different components

  • How do I get the file names on a customized proof sheet?

    How do I get the file names on a customized proof sheet?

    Actually, I really don't know what you say.
    But when you see the properties of a file in Windows, you can see there are two file size. One is called "SIze" and the other one is called "Size on disk".
    Therefore, I would like to know the size on disk but not just the size.

    hi sir,
    Did you try to use "List OS Image"? we can get the property form the results:
    result = sms.list_os_images()
    for image in result:
    print('Name: ' + image.name)
    print('Label: ' + image.label)
    print('OS: ' + image.os)
    print('Category: ' + image.category)
    print('Description: ' + image.description)
    print('Location: ' + image.location)
    print('Affinity group: ' + image.affinity_group)
    print('Media link: ' + image.media_link)
    print('')
    Please try it. Any questions or it doesn't work, please let me know.
    Regards,
    Will

  • How can I edit the file name of the home page?

    How can I edit the file name of the home page?
    Gr Ammani

    I have a similar issue with regards to the filename...
    When I navigate to my website, it doesnt work unless I actually type the filename at the end of it. Example: type in "www.whitelion.com" (this is my real domain name) and it doesnt work. When I type in "www.whitelion.com/index.html" then it works.
    This is obviously inconvenient because my clients will never know to add the filename to the end of the site.
    Is there any setting or way to get the page to appear by just typing the original domain name without adding the extension?
    Thanks,
    Emelia

  • Find the File name from directory

    Hi Experts,
    My Scenario is:
    Pick the file from the Directory, Based on the file name, get the Q information from R/3 system and place the file into MQ.
    My Question is : How can I get the file name?, any one please guide me..
    Thanks for your help,
    Thanks,
    SR

    HI SR
    You need to enable the Adapter-Specific Message Attributes
    enable the FileName under this. Enabling this will allow to have this parameter as XI header
    You can check this value is generated or not using SXMB_MONI -> Inbound message -> SOAP header  -> Dynamic Configuration.
    This will be captured under http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File name =  FIleNameu201D
    Now code given by Anand above will allow you to use this FileName in mapping. Based on this you can check R/3 system for relevant file.
    Hope this make you confortable with filename concept
    Thanks

  • When I try to open a picture in iphoto a message tells me the file cannot be found. How do I find the file?

    When I try to open a picture in iphoto a message tells me the file cannot be found. How do I find the file?  It does not happen with all the pictures.

    Is you library a "referenced" or "managed" library:
    That message is generated when a library is a "referenced" library and the location of the files have been moved from where they were when originally imported into iPhoto.
    Are the photos that this is happening to in the same Event(s)?
    What system are your running?  Where is your library located? How much free space do you have on your boot drive?

  • How do I get the file name?

    I'm kind of new to javascript -- working with a colleague who has Adobe Acrobat Professional -- I've got an *old* version of Adobe Acrobat and most of the functions don't work -- but how do we get the file name -- we're trying to develop an application -- so if the user opens c:\something.pdf, we'd like to know the file name (something.pdf).
    If we get a fully qualified path, that's fine -- I think I can parse it.
    Thank you in advance.

    The 'paty' property of the 'doc' object has been available since version 3.01.
    Using the following in the JavaScript console when the Acobat JS API Refenece is open:
    this.path;
    returns:
    this.path;
    /C/Program Files/Adobe/Acrobat 8.0/Help/ENU/JS_api_reference.pdf
