IWeb 1.12 bug: folder-photos have original file names!?!?

Hi, I've been using iWeb for a while now, but came across a strange bug which creates a problem for me. I had about 180 jpg photos on my mac which originally had particular file names. I manually changed the file names in the finder (for each of these - say, from a file name that might have been something like 1a.jpg to one that might be 1-Wayne.jpg, then drag-drop imported them into iPhoto, reordered them in iPhoto, then exported to iWeb (onto two pages since it will only take 99 photos on any one page), then exported from iWeb to a folder that I plan to upload to a server.
I noticed while trolling through the newly-created folder with the images, that while some of the file names are the new ones, quite a few of them retain the old file names! How the heck did that happen? Since in the published website (i.e. via a browser) all the new names show, it is not a problem for the website per se. But I am also making an image-map file which links to these photos, and since I have so many photos, it is very confusing since some of the files that iWeb created use the new file names, whereas others use the old names. I would rather recycle the iWeb-created images rather than to upload entirely new ones (e.g. with the new names).
Anyone know what's going on here? Solutions or workarounds?
Baffled and flustered,
Wayne

Welcome to Apple Discussions,
You are doing nothing wrong.
I have noticed the same behavior change between iPhoto '08 and iPhoto '09.
When you make a change to the name of the Event that name change takes place within the database that governs the iPhoto Library of pictures, not in the "physical" structure of the iPhoto Library (as you pointed out).
Any changes you need to make should be made through the iPhoto interface (iPhoto is an image organizer after all. Thats what it's made for.), not by going inside the iPhoto Library package (Which is where you see those folder names. Making any changes within the package can damage the library. )
That said if you think that the naming structure is a feature you would like to see in future versions of iPhoto you can let Apple know. iPhoto > Provide iPhoto Feedback.
Hope that helps.

    I'm not sure, but I know it's not recommended to upgrade to iOS 8 on anything older than an iPhone 5. I only lost my music playlists and music that was on my phone, but that music is also on my iTunes, not the playlists though, and I don't want to go through ALL my iTunes library to fix it either... But it seems I don't have a choice right now.
    Whatever you do, do NOT upgrade to iCloud Drive, keep iCloud till OS X Yosemite comes out, if your computer is a Mac. I also just noticed that all my documents on my phone are gone from Pages, BUT if I go on the iCloud website they are still there. Hopefully it will all work itself out when I can update my macbook pro to OS X Yosemite.
    If you backed up your phone and all your purchases off your iPhone prior to trying to upgrade you should be fine... But I'm not even remotely sure.

  • Acrobat 5.0 How do I keep the original file name after I have converted a Word doc to PDF?

    MY colleague has a certain setting in Acrobat that allows him to keep the original file name when he converts documents from Word to PDF. Every time I convert Word, Acrobat overwrites the filename and names it "untitled.pdf". I would like to retain the original name and for Acrobat to simply add the .pdf file extension to the original name. How do I do this?

    I have no idea what you are doing for sure. Does your WORD document have a name. I opened a WORD document and selected the Acrobat Distiller printer for AA5, I got the file menu for selecting the name and it was automatically filled in with the DOC changed to PDF. If you are using PDF Maker, then you will need to search there - I removed PDF Maker for AA5 years ago and can't view that part. I see the same types of options in PDF Maker for AA8.1.2 as I saw in the printer for AA5 and guess it is the same. The untitled.pdf suggests that you never saved the original DOC file so it has a name.

  • I just order 8 calendars from iPhoto and they came to me fine. Now I need to order two more but when I go thru the process I get a message  saying:unable to assemble calendar. There is a probleme with the photo with the file name"(Null)"   more........ .

    Would someone be able to explain to me the following issue with Iphoto?
    I ordered 8 same calendars for my soccer team and received them fine. Although a couple of pictures on it are a little off (out of focus). I need to order two more of the same calendars but when I go thru the process ireceive an error message saying:
    "Unable to to assemble  calendar" There is a problem with the photo with the file name "(Null)" The full resolution version of this photo either cannot be located or is corrupt. Please replace this photo or delete it from your calendar.
    How can  I fine this "corrupt" photo? How did it go thru with the first batch of calendars but won't go thru now?
    Thank you for your help.   

    Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start
    with Option #4 and then #1 as needed.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Save For Web - saves original file name not new name

    Hello, when I use Save for Web with slice(s) the original file name (appended with the slice number) gets saved even though I have changed the file name in the save dialog. This only happens about 50% of the time. Sometimes it saves as expected - with the new file name. I am using the default settings in the save dialog all the time.
    Stranger is that if I am saving (for Web) say 10 slices some will be named with the original file name and some will be saved with the name I gave it in the save dialog.
    This was happening on my Windows XP sp2 system when I was saving to an Ubuntu server (local network). So when I switched to a new computer running windows 7 and saving to a new server (windows 7 pro) I thought it might fix the problem - but it has not. So there must be a setting I am missing - though that does not account for the intermittency of the problem. I have changed settings under "custom" in the save dialog and things do change except the original file name is persistent not the new name I have given it.
    The PSD files come from a designer using a Mac.
    My system:
    PS 10.01
    Windows 7
    AMD x2 duo 250
    4 gig Ram
    Thank you for any help you may provide

    I made an action to save large batches to a designated "pics" folder. Then when I'm done with a big batch, I just move them to the original folder and let the OS overwrite them. May seem like a lot of work, but I can do a batch of 500 gallery thumbnails in about four minutes and it takes about 30 seconds to move them and replace the originals.

  • Changed File Name but reverts to original file name when exported or copied

    I created a folder of 150 photos for a video montage and numbered them all by editing the file name. When I export (or copy and paste) the images to a folder on my desktop, the files all revert back to their original file names. Any ideas?

    In iPhoto what you see originally is the file name as the title. Any changes to it remain in iPhoto unless you export out with the appropriate options to either same the title with the file and/or use the title as the file name.
    When you export the photos via the File->Export->File Export menu option there's a File Name drop down menu at the bottom from which you can select Use Title. That will give you the Titles you changed as the new file name.

  • Original file name problem

    Hi all,
    Got this wierd problem with DMS.
    I am opening (in change mode) an excel document stored in our DMS for editting, then I check it back in again. When I check it back in again and save, the orignal file name is getting the temp folder name appended to it!
    In CV02n I have setup a Temp working directory for files, e.g. N:\Mydocs. Lets say my document is called "Requirements.xlsx" , everytime I open the document, make some changes and check it back in again SAP is adding the temp directory name to the original file name... after 3 or 4 check out/ins the file name is now "MydocsMydocsMydocsMydocsRequirements.xlsx"!!!
    How do I stop SAP appending the folder name to the original file name?

    Doh!
    I've just figured out my own problem.
    The temp working directory setup in CV02n did not have a "\" on the end of the path... so SAP thinks it's a name not a location.
    changing the Temp working directory to N:\Mydocs\ solved the problem.

  • When someone other than myself downloads an image from my web album, a dynamically generated file name replaces the original file name.  How I can prevent the original file name being replaced during the downloading process?

    When someone other than myself downloads an image from my web album, a dynamically generated file name replaces the original file name.  How I can prevent the file name being changed during this downloading process?

    Hi Glenyse,
    Here are my steps.
    1.  I upload multiple image (jpg) files onto my photo album.
    2.  I select the "sharing" by email option for this album.
    3.  I enter the recipient's email address.
    4.  The recipient receives my message and clicks on the link.
    5.  The recipient accesses my photo album and clicks on one of the images.
    6.  The image opens up to its own screen.
    7.  The recipient selects the "download" and then save file option.
    Here is the part I do not understand.  For some reason, during this "download" process, the original name which I have given to the file is replaced by different name.  So I was hoping that someone knows how to prevent the file name from being changed during the "download and save" process.
    Much appreciated if you can help me find a solution to this problem.

  • A script to change back to original file names??

    Hi,
    I'm looking for a script for iPhoto that will give some photos back their original file names?
    or any way of doing that?
    cheers

    I have used apple scripts to correct time and dates?
    can this cause a problem?
    Probably not - although iPhoto probably will not recognize the modified information - but it is not a good idea to modify anything in the iPhoto library except using iPhoto - iPhoto '08 and later have a command to modify date and time - I do not think iPhoto 6 did, although its been a ling time now

  • How to keep original file name in File- Soap- Soap- File scenario?

    Hi Gurus,
    I have a requirement as bleow:
    There are two PI landscape for two different company and they are communicating using Soap adapter. We need to pass a flat file cross the two PI now, and need to keep the original file name.Anyone could shed some lights on this?
    Thanks,

    Hi Rajesh - See if you can make use of Dynamic configuration bean. I'm not sure if it works but you can give a try..
    Unknown use case of DynamicConfigurationBean: Store file name to JMS header without mapping
    Adding DynamicConfigurationBean in the Module Processor - SAP NetWeaver Process Integration - SAP Library
    Set the adapter specific attributes in file sender channel for filename
    swap the file name value to any other soap adapter attribute in the receiver channel using the above module
    again swap the attributes in soap sender channel(your second system)
    receiver file channel enable ASMA.

  • In bridge am I able to return my images to their original file name?

  • Need action to save a copy with original file name with suffix

    Hi All,
    I am using photoshop 7 (yeah its old, but working fine for me for general purposes). The problem is I have got this new task where I have to provide 3 copies of the same image but with different portions of it. I have several images (.jpeg) which I need to crop two parts of the image and save as two new image files. The requirement is that I need the copy images to bear the same name as the original and with a suffix to identify which cropped portion of the image is it. example, original file name is AB1001.jpg (1600x1200), 1st cropped image name to be AB1001_P.jpg (200x250) and the 2nd cropped image name to be AB1001_Q.jpg(100x180). I have around a 180 files, so need to do it in a batch, pls suggest how can it be done.
    Any help in this regard is much appreciated.
    Regards
    Chhuppa Rustam

    While a script would probably be best, photoshop 7 requires
    you download a scripting plugin which may or may not install
    in photoshop 7 depending on your version.
    You can probably do what you want with actions. The file naming part
    is not hard, but i have a couple of questions about the cropping.
    Are all the images the same size and are the crops in the same position for each?
    In other words on the P crop (200x250), is the crop in the same position on each
    image or different for each?

  • Appending the Original File Name as Suffix to Receiver File Name

    Been searching and I've seen Michael's blog about creating a UDF to place the original file name in the payload.    Since this is a file->file scenario, I have no mapping. 
    I have the Adapter-Specific Attributes turned on on the Sender to pass the file name in the DynamicConfiguration of the message header and I can see it in the message.
    What I want to do it to have a target file name in the form of:   XXXXX_<i>originalfilename</i>.
    So I have turned on variable substitution and created a variable called 'file'.
    In the File Name Scheme Parameter I have entered: XXXXXX_%file%
    If I set the variable substitution refererance for 'file' to message:message_id, my file name is created as XXXXX_message_id,  or any of the other options from -> <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/bc/bb79d6061007419a081e58cbeaaf28/content.htm">SAP Adapter Help Page</a>
    How can I get the value of FileName as the value for my variable %file%?

    > Actually, what I meant was the mapping will not know
    > the value I have entered in the receiver

    No, you cant read in mapping what you set in CC.
    However, you can ignore the parameter FileName scheme in CC and just set it in mapping runtime.
    The way you are using, you'll have to maintain the prefix for each receiver adapter you have. If you had it in mapping, you could just do something like:
    String receiver = container
        .getTransformationParameters().
        .get(StreamTransformationConstants.SENDER_SERVICE);
    DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container
        .getTransformationParameters()
        .get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
    DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create(
        “http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File”,
        “FileName”);
    String orgFileName = conf.get(key);
    String tgtFileName = receiver + "_" + orgFileName;
    conf.put(key, tgtFileName);
    and then you wouldn't have to maintain the file name scheme in CC.

  • How do I retain the original file name when using Compressor?

    Hello,
    I am in the process of doing a batch export and would like to keep everything identical to the source material, including the name. There is quite a bit of footage so deleting the "-Apple ProRes 422 for Progressive material" addition can be time consuming.
    Any suggestions?
    I found this thread:
    http://discussions.info.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2369070
    but even though I read it more than 10 times I could not set a "custom" path in my destination options.
    I only have the following options available from the pulldown:
    -Cluster Storage
    -Desktop
    -Source
    -Users movie folder
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Message was edited by: Ricardo Javier

    As was mentioned in the thread you linked to, the easiest way is to create a custom Destination. Here are some step-by-step instructions:
    1. Click the Destinations tab.
    2. Click the plus sign in the upper right and choose "Local..."
    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19589/Compressor%20Custom%20Destination.png
    3. Navigate to or create your destination folder. Click "Open" to select the destination.
    At this point, you've created a new custom destination. To select it, click the disclosure triangle next to the "Custom" folder. This is where all of your custom destinations are located.
    4. Select the custom destination you want to use for your batch.
    5. In the inspector, you'll see a box where you can change the "Output Filename Template". By default, it'll just have "Source File Name". If that's all you want, then press return.
    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19589/Compressor%20Destination%20Inspector.png
    Now, when you go back to your batch window and apply this custom destination to your job settings, Compressor will apply the Output Filename Template to your filenames. Basically, it will get rid of the setting name (as long as you only have "Source File Name" in the Filename Template.
    Hope this helps.

  • Files saved on memory stick on pc show as original file name followed by .XML and i cannot open why

    files saved on memory stick on pc show as original file name followed by .XML for example tester.doc.XML, is there any reason?  I cant open these on mac, if i put it back in PC is shows file as normal without .XML.  Confused.com any ideas.

    I have files on my work laptop (PC) e.g. document1.doc (word document), I then save it to my memory stick (which i have reformatted, I also tried my external disk drive) and then take that to my macbook, plug it in and in finder it then shows as document1.doc.XML, which i cannot open.  It happens to all types of files, it just seems to add .XML on the end of everything.
