Lightroom 5 Exif "File Number"

I would like to rename my images to below format:
Foldername_DSCFileNumber_Year-Day-Month
so example name would be:
Test_DCS2342352_2012-12-12
Unfortunatelly lightroom cannot read the file number from EXIF.
Is there any way to do it without using any external software as renaming outside lightroom would screw my collections.
thx

I assume you modified the 'Exif Rename' preset (or a duplicate of it), that would be the closest to what you want.
Normally image number is available as:
exif['FileNumber']
If you want to see other choices, you can run Jeffrey Friedl's online metadata viewer here:
http://regex.info/exif.cgi
Anyway, the folder name is available like this:
local folderName = LrPathUtils.leafName( LrPathUtils.parent( photoPath ) )
If you need more help with FileRenamer, let's take it out of the forum via personal messaging, OK?

Lightroom not appending file number on export

I am using Lightroom 5.4 on Windows 7. When exporting files, I frequently use Custom Name plus "Original File number", or "Title plus File Number". If fact, just yesterday I exported a new body of work for upload to my website using "Title plus File Number" and it worked perfectly. Today when I try to do the same export from another body of work, the title is there but the file number will not export. All the images have the original file number appended to a dng file.
When I test exporting from the body of work yesterday, the file number is added. I cannot see anything different in todays export. Both projects are in collections, both projects are based on dng files. In fact, the only difference from yesterday to today is that it is different collections and the destination folder is different.
There has to be a switch someplace that I changed in today's body of work that is not in yesterdays.
I have been looking at other collections and the files in this collection are the only ones that are having this problem. It is my guess that I attached a flag of some sort that has been synchronized to all files. What could I have I changed that would suppress the file number being appended when exporting?
Can someone tell me what is going on.
Thank you,
Jim

> The default quality setting is 60%, but this reduces the file sizes. How do I keep the original file sizes?
All of the Export Presets can be edited and the new settings made to be default. Alternatively you can set up your own, new, presets to your own specification.

File number is changed on export from lightroom

using lightroom 4.3... when I edit a group of photos in lightroom, most of the files will only be edited in lightroom but a few will also be opend into PS6 (by right clicking > edit in>...) Once the PS edits are complete the image is saved & I return to Lightroom. When I export the entire group of images - I set the file name to 'custom name - original file number'. The images I edited in lightroom only - all are renamed as expected (ie wedding photo-1234, wedding photo-1235...). The images I edited in both lightroom & photoshop receive the custom name but lose their file name (ie wedding photo-, wedding photo-1, wedding photo-2, etc.) When viewing these PS edited images in lightroom - they do show the file #, it is only after export that the file # is lost..
Previous versions of lightroom / PS did not have this problem for me.
I wish to maintain the file names for all of the images, help?!?

Thanks Brett, yes - when I open the photo in PS, the file name has changed from i.e. _MG_5720.CR2 to _MG_5720-2. I save the image & go back to lightroom, the image is now called _MG_5720-edit.tiff. When I export, (and in the export settings I rename to custom name - file name) the file now becomes wedding photo--. In previous versions of the software - the file name would have exported as wedding photo-5720-edit.
Can you please explain how I can check how the file names are being changed and see if I can make it so any changes to the name occur before numbers.
Many thanks, Anne

Missing file number suffix metadata when exporting

Hello All,
I export files from Lightroom 2 (LR2) using custom filenames that include file number, i.e. "Original number suffix", metadata. This metadata is not being picked up by the export module and will therefore not be included in the exported filename. This happens with files that have been edited in Photoshop (CS3), but not with the original DNG files.
So if I have a master file named "Davison-20080809-1234-Master.psd", I in Lightroom 1.x (LR1) I set up a custom filename scheme in the export dialogue box that will export the master as "Davison-20080809-1234-BW-Web.jpg", or similar. This has worked with no problems to date.
In LR2, when I look at the Example field under File Naming in the Export dialogue, I see only "Davison-20080809-BW-Web.jpg"--the original number suffix is missing along with one of the hyphens around it. When I create a custom file naming scheme with only the "Original filename suffix" metadata in it, it shows "_.jpg" in the Example field.
It looks like maybe two things are happening.
In LR1, if a piece of metadata was missing, it would still export a filename with all the hyphens around the missing data, so I would get "Davison-20080809--BW-Web.jpg" if the number suffix were missing. Someone probably tweaked that in the new version of Lightroom so that the unsightly double hyphenation would not appear. So this doesn't look like it's related to the problem.
The second thing that appears to be happening is that Lightroom 2 is either not exporting (in file metadata) or not tracking (in the LR catalogue) the number suffixes. I've looked for the number suffix in Photoshop's metadata and it's not stored in the metadata at all. When I copy a Photoshop file with a suffix that does export correctly in LR2, rename the file "Test-20080809.psd" and import it into LR2, Lightroom parses the date (YYYYMMDD) as the number suffix and "20080809" is what I get when I export that file. This indicates that LR1 and LR2 store the number suffix in the catalogue and for some reason LR2 is not preserving the number suffix in the catalogue metadata when a file is edited in Photoshop.
So has anyone else run into this problem? Or is someone interested in reproducing it? It looks like a bug to me.

I'm also running into this same problem. For what it's worth, when I import my RAW files (as DNGs), I rename them using a naming scheme which looks like the following:
(2008-08-13) -019- (7108).dng
This scheme is created with the following elements (separated by line-breaks):
custom date formula
import number
original file suffix
In Lightroom 1, I had no problem. Now, I'm wondering if the parenthesis after the end of the file suffix is what's causing Lightroom 2 to think that there is no suffix?

Resetting (or 'Trashing') the Lightroom Preferences file

Hi,
in an effort to make the edit-in option in LR work, I found instructions that I need to reset the preference file for LR. I followed the following directions, see below.
However, even with holding the option key down on my iMac, as directed, I cannot find the folder and file. I do not have a Library folder under my username, but only one under hard drive, and in there I can find com.adobe.photoshop files, but no LR file. Can anybody help me?

Try making hidden folders and files visible temporarily following the steps described here Quickly Show/Hide Hidden Files on Mac OS X Mavericks & Yosemite | Ian Lunn - Front End Developer, it applies to Mavericks but I think is also valid for Yosemite (but not 100% sure). Please don't use a external drive when hidden folders and files are visible as there might be a bug with LR5.7.1 on Yosemite when they are visible (not fully sure).
When you are done with the preferences, make hidden folders and files invisible again.

What is the Original File Number?

When tethering, using the template " Custom Name - Original File Number "
is the "Original File Number" referring to the last (4?) numeric characters of the
filename that is usually written when shooting to a CF card?
In my case the files to the card are written something like "_W5N_7809"
Shouldn't I expect the tethered renaming in this case to be "myCustomName - 7809"?

http://www.soens.de/
Your EXIF viewier is reporting the same data twice, in two different formats. It first reports
-- Camera Actuations: 155608
and then later reports
-- Actuation Counter: 24536
-- Actuation Multiplier: 2
The actuation count is stored only once in the EXIF data, but is recorded as two 16-bit numbers (max value = 65535). If the lower 16-bit value has rolled over twice, and currently reads 24536, the total value is ( 2 * 65536 ) + 24536 = 155608.

How do I get the file number to show under my photos? I am using Elements 10 with Windows 7

Hi,
Sorry, but do you mean filename - not sure what file number you refer to?
For Filename, on the View menu ensure that Details and Show File Names are both checked. You may have to make the size of the thumbnails slightly larger (using the slider on the top of the windows) as the information can't be displayed if thumbnail too small.

Lightroom 5 file edited in photoshop cc 2014 does not appear back next to original after save. Is anyone else having this issue? If so what is the fix. The edited image appears back in lightroom in a new folder.

Lightroom 5 file edited in photoshop cc 2014 does not appear back next to original after save. Is anyone else having this issue? If so what is the fix. The edited image appears back in lightroom in a new folder.

I'm performing a normal "Save", not "Save As". Work flow I'm using is as follows: Select photo in Lightroom 5.7 >" Edit In" Photoshop CC 2014 > (after working on photo is PS) > Save > close PS. Photo returns to Lightroom 5.7 in a new folder rather than next to the original. Prior to purchasing the monthly plan and upgrading to PS CC 2014, I performed this same work flow using Lightroom 5.6 and Photoshop CS6 without any issues.
Just for fun... I attempted to move the edited file back into the original folder. I received a prompt that said the file already existed in the original folder, however I can't see it except the new folder that LR created. I tried several different sort orders, etc without any success.
*** Follow up: Was unable to resolve the issue using Photoshop CC 2014. Uninstalled PS CC 2014 and went back to using Photoshop CS6. Return trips from LR 5.7 to Photoshop is now performing as it should: returning edited photo back to the original folder in LR 5 and placing next to the original image.
Should anyone have a suggestion on getting Photoshop CC 2014 to do the same, I would love to be educated.
Thanks for the help, dj_paige.

When I am finished editing an image in Lightroom, what files or versions should I have in my database of images?

When I am finished editing an image in Lightroom, what files should I have in my Library? I start with a RAW file or a tiff scan from film. I label that "A" as the archived file. I make a virtual copy to work on in the Develop module. When I am done, I save a file as a Print file with dimensions of the print. Since Lightroom is non-destructive, do I need to save any other versions? For instance, in Photoshop since the crop is destructive,
I edit an uncropped version and do the crop when I am working on the Print version. What should I have for the most flexibility over time in Lightroom?
I use Lightroom CC on a IMAC desktop. My photos are on a separate hard drive and are also backed up offline. Im running OSX10.9.4.

You don't need to make a virtual copy before you edit the photo (this is optional, but most people don't bother as its extra work with little or no benefit). EXCEPTION: If you are doing multiple crops of the image, you would need virtual copies in that case, created after all other editing is completed.
You can't "save" from Lightroom, you can "export". (It's a terminology thing) You would need to export a photo at the desired dimensions for printing, but there's no need to retain this exported photo, you can consider it temporary and delete it once the print has been made, knowing that you can always re-create it exactly from Lightroom if you need it.
So to answer the question in your title, all you need to retain on your hard disk is your original image (and in the EXCEPTION case where you have multiple crops of the image, you would retain the multiple virtual copies in Lightroom).

Custom File Name-Original File Number doesn't work. Why?

I want to export and rename some files with the "Custom File Name-Original File Number" option. Yet this doesn't seem to work, and I wondered what I might be doing wrong. The filename will only rename as the custom text.
The sample file name shown underneath has a dash after the custom text bit, but then the extension only eg Newname-.tif
I am now using LR 4.2 but I seem to remember doing this renaming OK with an earlier version (though I can't remember which). This suggest that either there is a problem with this specific version or that I have something set differently to the way I had it initially. I am hoping the latter is the case. Any suggestions as to how to fix this would be welcome!

I am sorry to report that i don't know how to create a screenshot. However, what I am getting, exact;ly is this:
From Library grid view: F2 or Library>Rename Photo
Then little screen appears with heading Rename Photo:
File Naming> set to Custom Name - Original File Number
Custom Text> NewFilenameHere
Example: NewFilenameHere-.tif
Clicking on OK changes the filename to just the custom text without the original file number. Original File name shows in metadata eg DSC01129-Edit.tif
The only way i seem to be able to get the original file number with the custom text is to include it manually as part of the custom text.

Vat code change, EDI file number finding and EDI file structure chage?

Hello Gurus
Our client has a plant in Europe, which has a largest supplier. We process electronic invoices to the vendor through a provider OB10 ( private company - invoicing provider ).
In the transfer of the electronic data to the invoice posting, a VAT code is added to the details, that appears to be pulling from a certain Table in the system.
I want to know from which tables this field has pulled up to the Invoice?
In continuation of the process ...I have come across an issue on EDI file structure change. I have provided with the the Idoc numbers of above invoices, from the idoc numbers i need to find out the EDI file number. But when i went to WE02, WE05 with those idoc numbers i couldn't find the EDI file number( Interchange file number ref).
How can i find the EDI file number and i have to suggest the EDI team for changing the file structure in regard to the VAT code updating according to the Plants abroad function.
What are the things i need to suggest them exactly in regard to this?
Please reply me ASAP...
Thanks
Mallik

The table for tax code is T076M - maintainable using T code OBCD. For EDI file number, execute T Code WE02 - enter IDoc number and execute (F8). In the right window pane, choose select layout -> change layout and pick up the field Interchange file reference. Guess this is what you are looking for.
OR
Go to transaction WE02 or WE05 enter Idoc number and choose execute. When Idoc data is displayed double click on Control Record in left pane. Choose Details tab. Interchangable file under References.
You can also refer the entries in table EDIDC.
Reference to interchange file:
This field contains the reference number of the interchange file in which the EDI message was transmitted.

Export for system copy fails - Error 9 (Bad file number)

Hello all,
I am attempting to perform the export phase for a hetergenous system copy on our BI system (BI 7.0 - NW2004s). This system runs on HP-UX 11.11 using Oracle 10.2.0.2 and will be migrated to Windows Server 2003 and MS SQL Server 2005, once the export is complete.
While running sapinst to export the data from the source system, there are several input dialog screens that are skipped, which means I am not able to enter all the paramters used for the export. After seeing this behavior from sapinst, I reviewed the sapinst.log and sapinst_dev.log files and find the warning/error "System call failed. Error 9 (Bad file number)". I have included a portion of these files below.
I have reviewed notes 546006 and 583861, but these seem to refer to an Oracle error ORA-27121, but I am not receiving any Oracle errors in sapinst.log or the Oracle alert log. I have looked for possible permission or ownership problems with any of the SAP or Oracle files, but have not found any that were incorrect. Also, these errors do not specify which file sapinst is having problems with, so I do not have a specific file or area to check.
If anyone has seen something similar to this and has any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate any help.

Hello Peter,
Thanks for the reply. I did confirm the points you made, and have the details below.
1. check filesystem, if you have enough space, especially /tmp
All filesystems have available space, and /tmp has 310 MB available, before the start of sapinst.
2. check again alert log, trace log for Oracle,
I could not find any errors in the alert_SID.log or any unusual trace files.
3. How did you run sapinst? Are you using "root" account.
I am running sapinst as user root and I am following all the recomendations in the system copy guide (at least as far as I can tell. ;p )
We have four BI systems in this landscape, and the other three have migrated successfully. The procedure I am using, is the same as for the other 3 systems and uses the same SAP media directory that was used on the other systems.
One other item that may be part of my problem here, is that this system is the production system, and was originally installed as a high-availability system, using HP-UX Service Guard for clustering. Currently, this system does not have fail-over enabled, but of course the cluster is still intact. One required piece of the Service Guard enviornment is the use of a virtual hostname. This seems to resolve successfully by sapinst, as I see the correct (virtual) hostname referenced several times. While this is a clustered system (for fail-over purposes), the CI and DB are installed on the same host. So it is not a distributed system, and if failover had been initiated, it would fail both the CI and DB instance, which is the same and only SAP instance.
This did raise one question in my mind, however. I am attempting to extract this using the following menu path within sapinst.
SAP NetWeaver 7.0 Support Release 3 --> Software Life-Cycle Options --> System Copy --> Oracle --> Source System Export --> Central System --> Based on AS ABAP and AS Java
Since this does use Service Guard, but is not a distributed system, should I be using a different path in the sapinst tree, for the export? I have only performed a migration using the above path, so I am not familar with the detailf of the other types, such as High-Availabitly or Distributed-System.
Regards,
Rusty

ADP file number Generation

Hi Guru's,
I had created a custom Infotype 9001 to generate ADP file number.SAP HCM will be the first point of data entry for creating and maintaining the employee record. Data is then passed to third party systems for payroll processing and time keeping.The 3 fields(ADP file number , ADP company code and Badge number.) will be stored and maintained in infotype .
The problem is with ADP file number.The logic is :This is a required input field. Personnel Actions New Hire, Convert Non-employee to employee and Retirement will automatically generate a new file number and populate this field. For the other personnel actions, users will be prompted with a pop-up window displaying the message u201CDoes the employee need a new file number?u201D.If NO then, the program finds the most recent ADP file number and populates the field with this number.If the program does not find any ADP file number, then the field should be open for user input.If YES, the program extracts the next generated number using function module u2013 u201DNUMBER_GET_NEXTu201D.
ADP file number screen field is ZADPFN.
I am not able to write the code as i am very new to Implementation i.e How the ADP file number field will get populated?
Do i need to declare some variables with same name as screen fields?
Please help in ABAP code.

Here is my situation.

3. Now this FLXXX is the filenumber. It will be 1 for the 1st run of the day and for each of the new run it will be +1. Again next day it will start from 1.
So right now I am using a sequence and resetting it at 12 AM to 0. Is it a good approach to solve the scenario? Any better idea?Hmm.. not sure I like the idea of resetting a sequence.
Your case is an exception where one can consider serialisation - as it is unlikely that having to serialise, will have any significant performance impact on the file create processing. It is very different than requiring surrogate keys for OLTP.
I would use a PL/SQL function - that uses a date as input parameter, and returns the next sequential file number for that date. Underneath, a table can be used (day,file-sequence). If no row for the existing day exists, a new row is inserted and file sequence set to 1. Serialisation would be done via standard row locking. With the lock on the day's row, being held for a minimal time (e.g. autonomous transaction instead of being part of the file process's transaction).

Idoc Number and EDI file number...

Hi gurus
How do we know EDI file number from the IDoc number ?
I have Idoc numbers with me but is there any way that i can know that the EDI file number associated with that ?
Thanks

Hi,
Go to transaction WE02 or WE05 enter Idoc number and choose execute. When Idoc data is displayed double click on Control Record in left pane. Choose Details tab. Interchangable file under References.
You can also refer the entries in table EDIDC.
Reference to interchange file:
This field contains the reference number of the interchange file in which the EDI message was transmitted.
