Keep CS5 HTML "lightroom" web gallery template from renaming files...

When creating an HTML Web Gallery (using  ‘Lightroom’ template), Bridge CS5 renames the thumbs and large images to  an arbitrary number.  The caption reads as the original file name, but  the actual image has a new name.  This is problematic, as my clients  will right-click selected images from my galleries to save and forward  for approval, but the file name is not the same as the original.
As an example: VLNK0321.jpg  is renamed as _4856316150.jpg.  (In Preferences/Output, the "Convert  multi-byte file names to Full ASCII" is unchecked.)
Is  there any way to fix this little (for me--BIG) problem?  Can the script be altered to keep the original file name, not the ten-digit arbitrary number that it currently generates? 
Thanks for any help offered!

I believe I've discovered the file/script that does the renaming.  I've done some testing, and have been able to change the way Bridge does the changes, but not able to keep the original file name.
The file is "galleryCreator.jsxinc", found in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Bridge CS5 Extensions\Adobe Output Module\mediagallery\resources\scripts.
I'm not a code-guy, so I'm hoping that someone with more smarts than I can help.  Below is the part of "galleryCreator.jsxinc" that does the re-naming.  Simply deleting this entire part of the script renders Bridge unusable.  So allowing the script to create the altername is important.  If the alteration could consist of only adding the "underscore" prefix to the original file name, all would be well...
Here's the pertient portion of the script:
AOM.AmgGalleryCreator.createUniqueFileName = function(filePath, jpgFile, createMode)
    var alteredName;
    while (true)
        alteredName = "_";
        for (var i=0; i<10; i++)
            alteredName += Math.floor(Math.random() * 10);
        alteredName += ".jpg";
        var f = new File(filePath + alteredName);
        if (!f.exists)
            break;
    return alteredName;
I will send a check for $200 to the first person who can rewrite this to simply add the underscore first, then return the original file name instead of the random number generator, and make it work.  Anyone?

  • Photoshop CS4 web gallery template in Lightroom?

    Hi,
    I have a custom web gallery template set up in Photoshop CS4. I would like to use it in Lightroom, but it appears the Lightroom web gallery templates are in a different format (and not so customisable). Is there a way I can use my CS template in LR??

    Thanks Ian,
    I am trying out Lightroom to see if it can replace PS for my needs. So far its not looking good! Looks like I might have to upgrade PS instead. I am preffy proficient with PS and have several custom functions set up. My web gallery integrates with my website and has been developed over a time to get it just how I like it. I can also drop in and edit the HTML to tweak it as I go.

  • I want to customize the "HTML Gallery" web gallery template in Bridge CS6.

    Using Win7 64bit + PS CS6 64 bit ext on a 16GB PC.  In which folder do I find the web gallery templates for Bridge CS6?  Is there info available on how the programming/configuration works with the info passed by Bridge - filename, contact info, copyrights, description/title, email, etc.
    Please point me to any sources of info. 
    I lke the idea of setting-up a gallery directly from bridge. Any other ideas?
    Thanks,

    Hi JJMack,
    Can you please explain how you use Phoshop Scripts to generate web galleries?  I've created a Photoshop script to bulk add captions/descriptions from a text file to image files, so I have some JS scripting skill.  Are you willing to share your scripts?
    I really like the ability to setup the oder of my gallery in Bridge (images in rows and columns) then directly generate a small 20-40 image gallery, with descriptions, file names, etc.
    I'm also looking at Lightroom 5 to produce small web galleries.  It appears that the post-processor from Turning Point is suggested.
    I only use the Bridge as a metadata Editor and I do not use Lightroom.  I know the Bridge can be scripted where files can be selected in Bridge the passed to Photoshop and Photoshop Scripts like the Image Processor scripts through Bridge talk.  My script does not have Support for the Bridge through Bridge talk.  You may be able to add that support, My Scripts use some of the metadata fields like Photoshop Wed Galleries used them and also has an option to support EXIF information.   When the Web Gallery is created Photoshop starts your web browser on it like Photoshop Web Gallery feature did so you can verify it,   My Script does not Upload the galleries to you web server like the Bridge output module can.  I rather use FTP then tie up Photoshop transferring the gallery over the web.  My Scripts are just hacks of a Script Jeff created for the Simpleviewer Flash Web Gallery,  The script support  that Flash Gallery and their other Flash Galleries and the Flash WS-Slideshow Gallery so mobile devices without Flash support can not view my galleries.  So some nice tablets with High resolution displays are not supported,   The Scripts basically uses canned HTML for the Gallery Viewer and writes the XML file for your Images getting the information for title and description ect from the image files metadata,  The Format of the gallery is also controlled in the XML file written by the script.   I just hack at JavaScript and because I don't use the Bridge for selection and order it did not brother me that Jeff's code did not support or use Bridge talk It simply includes all image from a folder into the gallery it creates. It uses Photoshop Script to create the gallery tree with Thumbnails and web size images with optional visible watermark text stamp,  Web image size is set like fit image my scripts default size is 1600x1200. All my Photoshop stuff is free and downloadable from this link

  • Bridge CS3 Workspace Adobe Lightroom Web Gallery Creator

    A while back I was looking around for an easy way to create sharp looking image galleries with minimal work, and I came across a workspace plug in for Bridge Cs3. If I remember correctly, it was labeled Adobe Lightroom Web Gallery something or another. Anyway, I recently formatted my computer and reinstalled everything, but for the life of me I can find no trace of that handy workspace plug in. Does anyone know where I can find it? It had a bunch of customizable flash galleries as well as a customizable html gallery as well. Any help would be appreciated!

    Do you mean AMG( Adobe Media Gallery)? You could download from LAB.

  • Is there a way to create my own web gallery template for bridge?

    Is there a way to create my own web gallery template for bridge?
    I want to add custom data that is not in any of the templates.
    Pretty much, I'd like to create one from scratch...

    This was discontinuted in CS5 howerver you could migrate that plugin to CS5.  I don`t know if you can do this with CS6.
    To my knowledge they only provided a revised Contact sheet II script for CS6. In my opinion a very bad idea because they should have put all efforts and resources to enhance the Output Module PDF contact sheet that has far more options.
    Still not using web galleries but the goal for web gallery was also to use this in the Adobe Output Module, maybe that provides you the options you want?

  • Another NEW Flash Web Gallery Template!

    Hey Guys,
    I just finished a cool new web gallery template for Lightroom. This one allows you to select multiple images and give them a category name. The template will then separate the images out into different galleries/categories. From the template you can view all the images or just images in a particular gallery/category.
    Its really cool! Check out the gallery sample i have on http://www.lightroomgalleries.com
    Hope you all like the template! And let me know if you have comments, suggestions, or if you run into any problems.

    Very nice. Thanks for posting. It is great to stat to see some real veriety out there for Web Templates for LR.

  • Web Gallery Posting from Different iPhoto 7.0.1 Libraries

    I use the program iPhoto Library Manager so that I can have more than one iPhoto library -- one for cooking, one for the garden, one for a travel trip, etc.
    I've posted a couple galleries using the "Web Gallery" feature from my cooking iPhoto library. Works fine: both galleries show up on the first page.
    Do I understand correctly that if I posted a gallery from, say, the garden iPhoto library, that it would try to synchronize the galleries at dot mac with those in the currently open iPhoto library (garden) and, because the first two galleries were in the cooking library, it would probably delete them?

    mbabc:
    No, I don't think that would happen. I've posted two galleries, each from a different library. When I posted the second it did not delete the first. It just added the second to the gallery in my .Mac account.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Transition timings in Web Gallery templates

    All,
    Have to admit, I've never delved deeply here, instead building slideshows in Lightroom and iPhoto.  Is there any way to speed up, slow down, etc., the transition timings in the Web Gallery templates provided?  Any way in building User Templates to do it?  I did a search, and found an old 2007 request on LR 1 that went unanswered.
    Thanks.

    I never usung LR1. But in LR 3 problem "there any way to speed up, slow down, etc., the transition timings" - Slide Duration in other words... this task solve very easy:
    In Slideshow module panel at the right part we have tools that include:
    Options
    Layout
    Overlays
    Backdrop
    Titles
    and Playback - that what we need, this tool consist Slide Duration where you can choose in scroll boxes:
    Sliders (the sample 4,0sec), Fades (2,5sec)
    I think somthing very near (like) must be in oldeer versions of LR.
    Hope help u in somesing (so dont foget pushing stars )
    Zhdesigner,
    I think what you are saying is that we need those same type tools (slide duration, fading, etc.) in the Web Module.  If so, then I agree.  I do not see anyway to adjust the timings of the Web Module templates.
    Anyone??

  • Only eleven web gallery templates in Adobe Bridge?

    Only eleven web gallery templates? If possible, how and where can I get more templates? Thanks in advance.

    The zoom-percentage that is the same as "print size" differes from Monitor to Monitor but in all versions of photoshop before the last couple of posted updaters in CS6, you could set your Screen resolution in the the Prefs. and View at Print Size would provide the correct zoom automatically.
    You can either find the correct screen-resolution for your monitor by measuring the image on your screen with a physical ruler and applying some basic arithmetic to it — or you can go into Acrobat Pro (which apparently has the ability to find the correct values automatically while Photoshop apparently lacks that capability!) and copy the value from there.
    I understand that this feature has been dropped from Photoshop CS6 13.0.2 and later because the Photoshop team could not make it work with Retina.
    For this reason, I am not intending to install any Updaters beyond 13.0.1 until this issue is fixed.
    However, a Script has been published on this Site which does provide a calculated value which you then copy/paste into the Zoom box in the bottom left corner of the Photoshop window.

    Can I add my Lightroom Web Gallery to my web page? I would like to have more than just a gallery. How would I do that?

    Best way is to upload your WebGallery into a subfolder of your web space and put a link to the index.html file onto your main page.

  • How to Edit Web Gallery Output from CS5?

    Hello!  I just upgraded from Photoshop CS3 to CS5.  (Got some scrambling to do to catch up!)  I had been using the old File>Automate>Web Photo Gallery to create galleries for my Web site.  Massaged a little in Dreamweaver MX (I know, I know...) they look something like this:
    http://www.techno-imaging.com/gal10spring/alden_b2/index.html
    I found out how to add the old Web Photo Gallery back into Photoshop CS5, but was curious to find out what Bridge CS5 would do with Output>Web Gallery.  I experimented with the Standard template and was mostly happy with the result.  Here's what I got:
    http://www.techno-imaging.com/gal10spring/alden_b2_test1/index.html
    Trouble is I'd like to be able to customize the output a little more than allowed within the template itself.  It looks like the output has Flash, JavaScript, XML, HTML and maybe other programming resources.  I'm fairly familiar with HTML 3 and CSS, but am not a programmer.  Can anybody recommend what high-level editing tools (example: Microsoft Word for fancy text editing) I could use to make some modest tweaks?  The default modules are fine, but I'd at least like to be able to add a link back to my main gallery page like you see at the top right of my old Web Photo Gallery pages.
    Also- are there 3rd party templates for Bridge CS5 Web Gallery?
    Thanks, - Dave

    Hi i7nvd
    Oh my, I missed that completely!  Thanks very much for bringing that to my attention.  In the meantime I found that ACDSee would do a Web gallery that works OK for me.  However I will go back to Bridge Output Web Gallery this afternoon and five it a whirl.  Again, many thanks for jumping in and pointing that out to me.  I appreciate it a lot!
    BTW, thanks for the link to your site built with the Bridge plug-in.  And congratulations on the wedding!

  • Windows 7 64 bit Dreamweaver CC 2014 & Lightroom 5: Trying to insert a lightroom web gallery into a template in Dreamweaver

    I am using a template for my website in Dreamweaver CC 2014. I installed a lightroom 5 web gallery into the template. I have an editable region where my main content goes that is where I inserted the web gallery. The main content css height is set at Auto. The web gallery shows up but only the very top half of the gallery. The whole web gallery wont push down the main content section so you can see the whole gallery. If I set the main content at height 700px then the whole gallery shows up, but because this is a template it screws up all my other pages because of the height setting. I need that to be variable. What am I doing wrong?

    Most likely that main content area also contains a floated element and you are not clearing the float before closing the main content container. Floated elements are removed from the normal flow. Being removed from the normal flow means that a container for that floated element does not regard the floated element as being in it, and will collapse around its non-floated content. To prevent this from happening you should clear the float before closing the container, e.g.,
    <div>
    <img src="very-tall-image.jpg" style="float:left">
    <p>some content</p>
    </div>
    This div will only be as tall as the paragraph tag requires, thus truncating the image.
    But here -
    <div>
    <img src="very-tall-image.jpg" style="float:left">
    <p>some content</p>
    <div style="clear:left;"></div>
    </div>
    This div will show the whole image.

  • Where are Lightrooms's web gallery templates stored on a Mac?

    I want to re-create a html-web gallery that I used in CS4 and that was integrated in my own website. I wonder where the template are stored i Lightroom on a a Mac, so I'm able to copy and modify them. The possibility for modification inside LR are not enough.

    They're inside the app itself, so use Finder and Show Package Contents to dig into the lrweb module.
