Image Capture - File Names

Hello Gang and Happy Holidays!
I just bought a new Canon CanoScan LiDE200. Plugged it in, downloaded current driver and started scanning. Worked like a charm.
The only thing I can not figure out is how to name my scanned files. They all just auto-name. Scan, Scan1, Scan2, etc. Is there no way to name them before or when I scan them?
TIA,
James

Hello James.
Merry Xmas to you. Looks like you got your present early
Within the Image Capture browser, if you select Show Details, a pane will appear where you can set a name for the scanned file, where the file is being scanned to and what format to set the image as.

How do I add time/date stamp to my screen capture file names?

I'm on mac osx.
I'm trying to add time/date stamp to my screen capture file names. (at the moment it's just 'Picture 1' etc..)
I've tried the following command in terminal but have not had success. please help!!
defaults write com.apple.screencapture name "datestamp" at "timestamp"
killall SystemUIServer

Surely someone else will provide a better solution. Meanwhile, however, you might want to try the following script. Copy and paste the script into the AppleScript Editor's window and save it as an application. Then drop your screen capture files on the droplet's Finder icon.
on open theDroppedFiles
    tell application "Finder"
        repeat with thisFile in theDroppedFiles
            set theFileName to name of thisFile
            if (word 1 of theFileName is "Picture") and ¬
                (word 2 of theFileName = word -2 of theFileName) then
                set theExtension to name extension of thisFile
                set P to offset of theExtension in theFileName
                set theCreationDate to creation date of thisFile
                set dateStamp to short date string of theCreationDate
                set timeStamp to time string of theCreationDate
                set name of thisFile to "Screen Shot " & dateStamp ¬
                    & " at " & timeStamp & "." & theExtension
            end if
        end repeat
    end tell
end open

Why do the file extensions (.jpg .gif .png) no longer appear when I click on a previously saved image to use that image's file name (particularly important when saving a series of images using the same root name)?

I save a lot of images using firefox, often times from a large batch or series of images. It used to be that I would click on a previously saved image and the entire file name including the file extension (i.e. image_example.jpg) would appear in the "save as" line. Now when I click on a previously saved file, the file name appears without the file extension (i.e. image_example). Which means I have to manually type .jpg every time. For a large collection of images that I am hoping to use the same root file name and then add chronological numbers at the end, this has become incredibly frustrating, especially as it is a previously unnecessary task.
I am using a new Macbook Pro and maybe there's something Apple related to this...? It did not happen on my old PowerBook G4. I have file extensions turned on in System Preferences.
It should be noted that I have searched high and low and have even gone into the Apple Genius Bar where they were just confused as I was and of course ended by urging me to use Safari (shocker!) as it has all kinds of new extensions and bells and whistles. I seriously feel alone on an island with this dumb, hard to google problem. Thanks so much for any help anyone out there might have.
I mean: is this as simple as changing a setting in about:config?
Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your response Mylenium, however like I mentioned multiple times, I did change all of my trackpad/scrolling settings in system preferences. And if I wanted to use a normal mouse (or a tablet), I would've gotten an iMac instead of a MacBook Pro. I travel often and work all over the place, not always with access to a decently sized workspace that would be required for using a mouse or tablet.

Ftp images have file names different than camera

Using FTPonTheGoPRO pictures are uploaded with image file names that are not in the order the pics were taken - is there a way to re-name the images before they get uploaded?

One more thing....Its not so much that ShutterSnitch is buggy but that it wasn't developed for what I'm trying to do.

Dreamweaver-upload an image's file name to DB, so it can be retrieved through a site folder

I see a lot of help on how to save a file as a blog in an SQL database. I would prefer to do it the recommended way, through a site folder. I have a bunch of pictures that I want to match with various people (for a soccer team), and display those on a detail page. I have the Dreamweaver Missing Manual, which gives tips on how to create a URL to retrieve the data.
So I have a field in the SQL database for the image, but my question is, when I create a file field on the form, select the image in my folder and click to select it, and submit the form, the file name (or path) doesn't show up in the SQL database or on the Detail page. I feel like I'm missing one small element, and I hope that's the case.
Thanks in Advance for your help!

To that end, isn't it enough to just update the SQL database of the location of the image, or does there have to be a transfer through the database so that a distinct connection to the image is established?
No. That's not enough. Two things need to happen:
The image has to be uploaded to a specified location on the server (this is actually a multi-step process)
The name of the image has to be saved in the database
Then your code retrieves the name of the image and uses that name in a link, e.g.,
<img src="path_to_the_image/<?php echo $rs_whatever['image_name']; ?>" />

Hello,
You can use a Formula Column and the property "Read From File" :

I recently switched from PC to a Mac Book Pro and some things are different. I used to be able to open a jpeg or tiff in camera raw on my PC in Photoshop CS6 by going to file, open as, picking my image under file name and "open as" click on camera raw. Ho

I recently switched from PC to Mac and I want to be able to open a tiff or jpeg in camera raw. I could do it on my PC but can't figure out how to do it in Mac??

Use File>Open, set Enable to All Readable Documents, then click on your tiff or jpeg and select Camera Raw under Format
Then click on Open

Setting Print Capture File Name Defaults

Hi All.
Major tweakage here.
Is there a way to set the Mac Print Capture default information? Right now I get something like "screenshot 2010-06-22 at 1.09.32.png". Is there a way to get rid of the time stamp?
Is there a way to do this for /scans/ that come in through Pages?
Are there other default stamps such as this that I can collate in a single coherent way?
Thanks.
Jon
P.S. Not sure if there is a better place to post this or not...

Thank you very much.
If anyone finds an affirmative answer to this and can post it to the thread I will get a notification of the answer. This one would be a nice one to be able to streamline things over here...

Setting file name of captured file in DVRcast application

I've looked through the scripts in the scripts/ directory, but haven't seen anything obvious.
I would like to be able to specify the file name to capture the stream to. At present, the capture file is always named the same as the stream, which means if I stream for a bit, stop, then restart, the originally captured file gets overwritten. I'd like to be able to incorporate something, i.e. the stream start time, into the capture file name.
Pointers to where I can do that?

Good that you found the previous issue solved
For me, the best always is to go for mp4 format irrespective of the encodings. MP4 can support VP6/H264/MP3 and AAC.
And for FMS to record a file in mp4/f4v format, you need to prefix a mp4: to the stream name while publishing and/or recording. This "mp4:" mentions the FMS to load the mp4 module and all the stream actions are now under its control.
It is a general usage that for VP6-MP3 we go for FLV format (for which no prefix is needed) for H264/AAC , we go for MP4. But as I said, MP4 can serve all your purposes.
There are no APIs as such on FMS that I can think of , to do this. All you need to do is to add the prefix or not. It can be controlled either through a good client logic or , can be totally eliminated by having a singular structure.
Hope this also helps you for your work , Thank you !

RH8 - Image File Names

Greetings,
In a generated project, created in the RH8, when the user hovers over an image, the file name displays. I checked the image properties and Screen Tip text field is empty.
How can I prevent the image file name from displaying in the generated project?
Thanks

Hi there
When you examine the generated code what do you see? Is there a Title attribute or an Alt attribute? You didn't say what the output type was. Is it WebHelp? If so, did you enable Section 508 options when you generated? (Part of being Section 508 compliant is giving images corresponding names)
Cheers... Rick

How write the Outbound file name in the Inbound file

Friends,
I have a scenario like this.
Outbout filename - sample.txt
In sample.txt, i have having data like 20
Inbound filename - vivek.txt
i need data the like sample, 20
(NOTE: sample is the outbound file)
How to get this scenario.
Thanks in advance.
regards,
Vivek.

Hi Vivek,
If your PI is of SP14 and more you have an option called Adapter Specific Message Attributes.(ASMA) in communicatoin channel configurtaion, Which will help you in capturing the Sender file name during runtime.
So you will have to enable that option (ASMA) in Commchannel and capture file name in UDF using Java Code with the help of sap related API and map it to the target field which u would like to get populated.
follow the thread it has the discussion about acessing the Source file name.

How to view long file names and sort files within folders/projects?

Hello, like so many people here, I am a new mac user, but certainly not computer illiterate. I have been a professional photographer for 10 years and recently change to mac and have been slowly trying to adapt my work flow accordingly.
However I have become increasingly frustrated with Aperture 3 and after reading posts here it looks like I am certainly not the only person. While in my case I am sure it is because of my inexperience with mac systems so any guidance or assistance is much appreciated.
Hopefully my questions are simple. I have been importing my images and re-naming images as I do so. A very simple combination of date, custom name, and counter. However, when I look at the images once the import has completed, they are not in any logical order within the 'project'. I have tried to sort them by file name, orientation, file size, etc, both ascending and descending, but they will not list in the correct order. eg the file '2010-03-09 Lyon France 001', continually falls between '2010-03-09 Lyon France 022' and '....021'.
This has also lead me to a further question. While my file names can generally be read when the image is a landscape format, on the portrait images the file name it too long for me to read the whole name, and I can not find anyway to read the file name, eg browser, split screen, viewer, or full screen.
Im sorry for all the details, and I am sure it is just my lack of experience, so appreciate your help.
PS. On a separate note, I notice on another thread from the frustrated user 'ultratechy' that he got a reply from Tony who stated 'Also after installing any application you should always run disk utility and repair permissions....' Now as I am completely new to mac, I had no idea about this. Any other tips that I should always be aware of? Thanks again.

Thanks for your reply Calx. If it makes you feel better, I am actually a New South Welshman - just living in the sunshine state!
You are correct, I am trying to get my head around a new way of working and thinking, but I suppose it will all become clearer as time goes by. I have re-visited the manual many times, and been doing loads of research online, but just trying to put it all into practice now, so any tips or advice is always appreciated.
At the moment, I am just working with a small part of my library until I do get my head around things before moving onto the bulk of my images. I have my images stored and backed up on multiple external hard drives. I am trying to import my images into aperture from an external drive as I have been slack over the years with keywording, metadata, organising, etc etc, so I figure from what I have read that aperture may assist me with making these time consuming tasks a bit quicker and easier.
I have put a bit of thought into my filing structure, but I am sure that with further use and understanding, this may change in the future, but I hope not. To give you an example of how I am thinking and working - I have used folders for my regular clients, eg, Ray White, and then made another level of folders within 'Ray White' for the date, and then in each 'date folder' I place my projects and name them with the address of the property I have photographed. I select and edit images from each project and place them in albums under each project. Not sure if this is the most perfect structure, but any advice is welcome.
Keywords is always an issue with me. Over the years I have compiled a number of list for each client and each 'type' of photography. For example, real estate images have there own list, I just simply manually add keywords for specific jobs, eg the address and any specific location or features.
Again, advice and guidance always welcome and I would appreciate how you go about these topics? And maybe you can help explain something that I have pre-emted may be a problem, and it may happen when I move onto my larger library, and I am not sure how to explain this as it may show my lack of management previously. When I worked on my PC, I used PS4, Adobe Bridge and Camera RAW pretty much exclusively. For my landscape images for example, I might have 2 or 3 variations of the one images, eg, black and white, sepia, and color for instance. But the file name remained the same, I just stored them in different folders indicating what version of the image was stored there. Now I am thinking that when I import images in Aperture, I will come across difficulties because Aperture will think the I am importing duplicate images because I will in fact have 3 images with the same file name, even though the adjustments I have made to them are different. Is this the case? Will I have to make adjustments again? Will I have to change the name of the files prior to importing? If so, any advice or tips?
Well, I should stop there. Im sorry to bombard you with some much text, but as mentioned, I am new, and finding my feet, so thanks for your time.

Quick finder search by file name

NW65 +SP6 (soon to be SP7)
I'm sure this has been asked before, with the latest version.
I would like to search mainly images, although pdf's also,
Can the latest version search by file name and maybe exif info of an image?...the EXIF is not vital but search images by file name would be cool.
Or some kind of addon to do so.
Many thanks!
Nigel

Nlewis,

Not exif, but you can search by file name. That has always been
possible.

Same file name using JMS adapter on sender side.

Hi Friends,
I got a requirement to capture file name using JMS adapter on the sender side.
Can some one help me in resolving this issue.
Regards,
Jeevan.

Hi ,
You can use Dynamic Configuration in mapping.
Create a UDF with input as file name and copy/paste this code
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
//conf.removeAll();
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
//String filename= conf.get(key);
conf.put(key, fileName);
key= null;
return fileName;
Thanks.
