HT2506 how to rename files using preview

I have scanned some images to my desktop, and now I want to rename them; how do I do this?

Just as an amendmend: the above was true in better -blessed- times.
Now (Mavericks at least) also this is gone. Why not just have the option to click in the name of the file in the Thumbnail bar and change the name? Why no preview.app>menu-item "rename"? Anybody on earth would understand this, probably even my dog i don't have....
Currently i don't find any option to rename singular pictures while browsing them using preview.
Or did i miss s.th. obvious?
Just adding to another oddity i am across with about preview (Annotate in Preview - Underline Tool with Different Colors) ...
Not to mention, that preview always resets the viewport of a document opened in preview to the document-beginning, when havin opened multiple documents in preview an closing one of them, totally annoying.
I hope this gets sorted out soon, preview was almost perfect pre 10.8, no idea whats's goin wrong there...
Sigh...

In lr4 where/how to rename files if loaded from folder already on hard drive?

Files imported from a card reader can be renamed upon import but where/how to rename files added from a folder already on the hard drive? Also, how to rename files so as to not have gaps in the number sequence once the "rejects" have been deleted? Thanks.

Yes and yes. And, using it with the new shoot name renamed the files perfectly!
There is even a "original number suffix" so if you don't like IMG_4501 and prefer DSC_4501 you can pull the 4501 (the suffix) and replace the first three characters.
So, in one operation SFO-shoot-(IMG_4501).NEF could become Wine-country-shoot-(IMG_4501).NEF or even Wine-country-shoot-(4501).NEF if you prefer. Powerful.
Thank you Rikk and Adobe! Chris R

Rename files using text or excel file

I am trying to find out how to rename files on my pc using the names stored in a text document
eg. the file on the pc is called "C07_08.dat"
the text file has the following line "3am Eternal KLF 03:15 121 BMG C07.08"
i want to change the name of the file "C07_08.dat" to "3am Eternal.mpeg"
What I would like is a batch file or program or something that will see the text "C07.08" and find the corresponding file "C07_08.dat" and rename it "3am Eternal.mpeg"
I have managed to create a excel document that has the information in four separate columns
Column A has the name of the file I want to use (ie. 3am Eternal) Column B & C have unneeded information and Column D has the file reference (ie. C07.08)
I was told that Python or Visual basic could do this so I downloaded them but I have no experience with this so im lost as to what to do, I have over 1800 of these files so doing it file by file will take quite a while.
I have included a sample of the text file for reference if that helps

Here are two VBScripts that will rename the files based on the text file example you provided. The script that reads a
TEXT FILE requires each entry to be separated by
ONE TAB because it is the
TAB
that it uses to split each line into 4 parts (part1 - old file name, part2 and part3 - items you don’t need, part 4 - new file name). If there is more that one tab then the Split Function will not work properly.
The second VBScript will read the
EXCEL FILE row by row and use the values in Column A for the old file name and
Column D for the new file name. This approach will work much better if you have an excel document setup like this.
I used your example that you provided and it test fine for both approaches.
'Read text file
Dim objFSO, objFolder, inFile, strInLine, strOldFile, strNewFile
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
'Select the folder
Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder("C:\Scripts\MusicFiles")
'Open Text File
Set inFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile("C:\Scripts\MusicFiles.txt",1)
Do Until inFile.AtEndOfStream
'Read text file line by line and Split each line into 4 parts.
strInLine = Split(inFile.ReadLine, vbTab)
'Old File name
strOldFile = strInLine(3)
'new File name
strNewFile = strInLine(0)
'Loop through the files in the folder
For Each File In objFolder.Files
'If the file name matches the old file name above

'Replace it
File.Name = strNewFile & ".mpeg"
End If

Sedname - Batch rename files using sed

Renaming files using sed is nothing new, but this script makes the process a little more friendly and adds a few features, including insertion of sequential numbers and a simulation mode. The output of any find command can also be piped through sedname.
sedname version 1.0.0
Batch-renames files using a sed script
Usage: sedname [OPTIONS] SEDSCRIPT FILE ...
Usage: find [...] | sedname [OPTIONS] SEDSCRIPT
Example: sedname 's/$.*$\.jpg/\1.jpeg/' *.jpg
Example: find /mypics | sedname 's/$.*$\.jpg/\1.jpeg/'
OPTIONS:
--sim simulate only
--dir rename directories too
Use #D to insert a number with D digits forming a unique filename
Example: sedname 's/thisname.*/thatname#3/' *
( changes thisname* to thatname001, thatname002, ... )
Use #0 in replacement name to insert a number if needed
Example: sedname 's/thisname.*/thatname#0/' *
( changes thisname* to thatname, thatname1, thatname2, ... )

Opening PDF files using preview on some PDF file result in the content not displaying properly. The file I tried to look at has pictures and text. The pictures are displayed ok but the text is shown as pixalated boxes. The same file opens ok via a PC.

Solutions please. Accessing PDF files online using preview normally works ok. However there are a clutch of files on the mothers union web site that although can be opened, present text as pixalated boxes. The pictures contained in the documents are however displayed OK. I experience the same problem on my Imac and my wifes laptop that runs Lion. The same site has other PDF files that can be opend OK. If I access the same problem files using a PC laptop running microsoft windows, they are opened OK with the text displayed as it should be. This is driving me mad....

The offending PDF files were created using word
Yes. Word 2007. (You can see it in Preview if you do ⌘I or choose Tools > Show Inspector.) And it's the transparency issue. The three pics attached show the Jan 2012 newsletter (a) in Preview, (b) in Acrobat Pro, (c) again in Preview, after I saved it in Acrobat, flattening the transparency.
For you, the solution is to use Adobe Reader -- with due note taken of
<http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb12-01.html>
For them, I don't know. Presumably, they wish max compatibility for their newsletter, but I really don't know how Office 2007 generates PDF. Maybe they should check transparency settings and flatten before generating PDF? Or perhaps save as PDF v1.4 instead of PDF v1.5? I would use Distiller, but perhaps they can't afford it.

Get old item name for renamed files using TFS API

My current tfs will be retired in next few months.I am using tfs api to create a parallel tfs on a new server from the existing one. I have folders and solutions that have been renamed. I am iterating items and based on their changetype(add, edit, delete,
sourcerename etc), I am checking them in destination tfs.
I am not able to get Old filename for a file, in order to use PendRename when the item that is being iterated is Delete|SourceRename or Rename.
I tried the mentioned solution :
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/f9c7e7b4-b05f-4d3e-b8ea-cfbd316ef737/how-to-get-previous-path-of-renamedmoved-of-file-using-tfs-api?forum=tfsgeneral
But, my changeset has a lot of changes and hence identifying a particular file seems difficult.
Do we have something that interraltes two items (the deleted and renamed) ones other than the changeset, because there needs to be a uniquely identifier that associated the two items so that they may appear together in TFS history?

Hi Fabcoder,
As Daniel mentioned, you can migrate source control files and work items to the new TFS server by using TFS integration tools.
If the new server has the complete history, then you can view the history of the specific file to check the pervious path. Or you can do a compare between the project in new TFS where the file located with the matched project in current TFS to check
the differences.

Rename files using Enter key

Using the Enter key to rename files and folders works only with items in the desktop. Everywhere else I need to use Command+Enter. Any one experiencing this behavior? Any ideas on how to make it work as it should (only Enter needed)?

Automator: Impossible to rename file using automator under Mac OS X Lion

Hi,
Before upgrade my iMac to MAC OS X Lion 10.7.2, I had service created with automator under snow leopard in order to rename my pictures file names by blocks instead of one by one. Since I'm using Lion, this one doesn't work anymore. I have completely recreate the service under Lion and the results is the same.
You can find below my workflow that is easy. The problem is the message error in the history of automator application. The message is "impossible to rename file "file name" because this one should create conflict with existing file". I already test a lot of times with different name where I'm sure that this one doesn't exist on my Mac but all the time without success (verify also with search function under mac)
If somebody can help me, it would be very interesting because I already tried to find answer on internet without success too.
Thanks in advance for your help.

the whole automator and in particular the record action was substantially rewritten in snow leopard. and the record action is slow, unreliable and you can't trouble-shoot it. it's a wonder it works at all. the only advice i can give is to use it as little as possible. if at all possible avoid it altogether. if you do need to use it try using keyboard strokes instead of the mouse movement. for example. use command+c and command+v for copying and pasting and use tabbing to choose the correct box on the page.

How Encrypt a File Using Key?

Hi Guys,
Here is my problem. I have to create a bank's document encrypted to send to a legacy system. ( Using a KEY to validate the roll process)
I'm thinking to use two scenarios:
1 - Generate the file via ABAP and sent it to a folder in a server to be consuming - SAP ERP.
2 - Generate the file via ABAP, sent it to PI encrypt it via Java Mapping and sent it to a server.
ABAP
First question.
There is a way to generate this file using SHA1 using a Key as parameter?
(CALCULATE_HASH_FOR_CHAR)
Second one.
How can I decrypt this file to test?
Third.
There is others ways to encrypt a file via SAP ERP? UTF-8 and BASE32 are not encrypt codes. They are encoding code.
PI
First
There is a library or other way to encrypt a file without implement a Java Mapping?
Tnks.

> There is a way to generate this file using SHA1 using a Key as parameter?
Why don't you simple search the forum with "SHA1" term, you'd get the answer in an instant
> How can I decrypt this file to test?
> There is others ways to encrypt a file via SAP ERP? UTF-8 and BASE32 are not encrypt codes. They are encoding code.
What encryption do you need?
> But I would like to know if are these methods algorithms as DES, AES, RSA... or others ?
Couldn't you say it at the beginning!
By simply looking at CL_HARD_WIRED_ENCRYPTOR methods, we see that the encryption mechanism is very simple (I'm not expert so I can't tell what it is), I wouldn't rely on it...
I recommend you to read [Note 662340 - SSF Encryption Using the SAPCryptolib|http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/662340]. There are also some documentation, security guides on sap library and sap marketplace.

How to rename files by folder name in applescript

Hi,
I need to be able to rename files within a folder to the folder name. I have a work flow and script that allows me to find the files within a folder, enter a new file name and starting sequence number in tow seperate dialogue boxes. What I want to be able to achieve is to rename the files without manually entering the name... I still want to be able to manually enter the number.

Use code such as:
tell application "Finder"
set the_folder to (choose folder)
repeat with this_file from 1 to (count (get files of the_folder))
set name of file this_file of the_folder to (name of the_folder) & " " & this_file
end repeat
end tell
replacing the last this_file on the fourth line with the variable which contains the number.

I have about 50 .fm files, and 4 .book files, each of which includes about 20 of the .fm files.
I want to rename some of the files.
If I open all four .book files at once, and I go to First.book and rename file Q, I want it to be renamed in all the other .book files in which it happens to be included.
How can I do that?
Thanks.

You have to rename the file in each book that it is included in. After the first re-name, the other books will treat the old filename as a missing one.
