Losing filename on export

OK, so using LR 2.4 and in my workflow I renamed my photos earlier than normal in an effort to better organize. Now everything is done and I am ready to export to a "finished folder" but lightroom is trying to export based on the original filename and I want to use the current filename. The file is currently named correctly when I go into the folder but on export LR wants to use the original name and I cannot find a way to change any of the presets in the export dialogue to allow me to use the CURRENT filename on export not the original
Any ideas, other than renaming after export next time?

What makes you say this? Are you exporting the files and looking at the names in Explorer/Finder? Or is there something in the Export window that says this?
For this reason. I have renamed the file using F2 as visible in this image.
however when I go to export to a finished folder t save all my changes and post to web/send some for printing I get this
I won't allow me to use the CURRENT filename. If I open the actual Windows folder where the file sits on the PC it is named correctly but on export LR wanst to use the OLD filename. If I go into this dialog further I get oprions to add #s and special text but nothing that allows me to use the current filename. If I choose filename options I get "filename" with several variations and I get "Orginalfilename". In my case functionally they are the same, they only allow the original filename

  • Problem with losing quality in exporting FLV

    First I should emphasize that I am new to Adobe's products, and am learning it on the fly as part of a intelligent tutoring system design project. So I apologize for my lack of technical knowledge in advance. Rest assured I have put much effort in attempting to solve this problem on my own and by referencing this forum and other web sources, but sadly with no success.
    FYI, I am using the CS4 Master collection.
    My question pertains to retaining the quality of my video once I export it to .flv format via Media Encoder from Premiere Pro. My main video source is an .flv file that i have imported into my media browser. Initially I ran into a problem with the importing because it did not recognize H264 as having any media, and so I had to convert to Sorenson format to get it to import successfully. But it seems to have imported just fine without any loss of quality in the workspace. So that isn't my main issue but perhaps it is related.
    I am having major issues with losing quality upon export back to .flv format - which is the format I am required to use - the video is being imbedded within a larger program and so it needs to have a smallish file size. For the life of me I cannot figure out any combination of settings that works. If I select same as source then I end up with a video that is surrounded by black borders. This may because the workspace is larger than my imported file. I have attempted to enlarge it to fit the safe margins but it hasn't helped. If I resize my output video to 640 x 480 - which is what I want - I get a shrinked video with black borders. If I crop the input to what I want I just lose quality - but I lose quality either way. I really want to accomplish this without increasing the bit rate (and thus the file size). I have tried just about every setting available and I still lose the quality. Is this just inevitable? Is there a plugin that would help? From what I can it seems that Adobe has more problems dealing with .flv than with other video formats, but I haven't found anything that pertains to this issue specifically.
    Otherwise does anyone know of any other programs that can edit .flv files and offers multiple video & audio tracks?
    Thanks in advance. If anything needs clarification let me know.

    Ah yes I left out that detail. My source video is 640 x 480 also so the output is not an increase in size.
    This is different from my sequence settings. Which is 1440 x 1080 16:9 ratio. Pixel Aspect Ratio is HD anamorphic 1080 (1.333).
    I am assuming that this needs to be changed but I can't figure out how to do that (sequence settings are greyed out). Should I just start a new project?

  • Adding sysdate to filename  when exporting to csv in Apex V3.0.1 using IE6

    Hi,
    I have created an application item (AI_DTTIME), together with an application computation that fires on before-header that is set-up as follows:
    TO_CHAR(sysdate, 'DDMMYYYY HH24:MI') ||'.'
    Within the report addtributes on a page under "Report Export", within the filename, I assigned &AI_DTTIME.
    When I go to test it by clicking on the link label, it seems to assign a number to the filename, such as 40.csv. Each time I clink on the link label, the filename value simply increments to the next value, i.e 41.csv
    Can anyone see what I may be doing wrong or how to apply the sysdate to a filename under "Report Export".
    Thanks.
    Tony.

    Hi Tony, Hi Andy
    I have a similar functionality to achieve by adding sysdate of filename when exporting to csv, adding wthr this csv is in dev or prod,URL of this report and it is powered by xyz company
    I have created an application item same as andy did and the application computation with computation item AI_DTTIME, computation point - Before Header, computation type - static assignment and computation - TO_CHAR(sysdate, 'DDMMYYYY HH24MI') ||'.'
    After that in report-export filename i added the address of my application item i.e &AI_DTTIME
    but when i am trying to export my report to csv the header is coming with " TO_CHAR(sysdate,'DDMMYYYY HH24MI')_' "
    Can you suggest where i am wrong?
    Regards

  • Use Metadata Title as Filename When Exporting

    Is there a way to use the metadata title as the export filename when exporting ?? If not, there should be !

    It already can do this. Simply go into the list of filename presets, choose Edit, and built your own preset - making sure to include "Title" from the top Metadata drop down list somewhere in your renaming pattern.

  • Missing original filename after export to photoshop

    Hi
    using the export function to edit a file in photoshop (german "bearbeiten in Photoshop") generates a new file, but without the original filename.
    Example:
    Export "my picture 234.nef" as a tiff to photoshop generates a file called "-bearbeitet_1.tif" (german "bearbeitet" = "edited") . "my picture 234" is gone.
    I tried to manipulate a token in "Lightroom 2 Preferences.agprefs" which looks odd, but afterwords lightroom 2 would not start anymore saying something like i have a bad lightroom catalog.
    Any thoughts?
    Cheers, dietmar

    In LR "Preferences, External Editing", how is the file naming template at the bottom of the dialog set up? This determines how the edited files are named. Sounds like yours might be set to something that doesn't include the original filename.

  • Include filename on exported jpegs

    Is possibe to overlay a filename on a jpeg export?
    I am creating jpegs for my website and would like to be able to auomaticaly overlay the filename onto the image. This will allow viewers of the website to identify the image. I have managed to overlay a watermark but not the file name.
    I would like the image to look as it would in the slide show module. That allows a filename to be overlaid on the image.
    I am using Lightroom 3 with Windows 7 64 bit.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Filename when exporting from ReportViewerBean

    I'm using Crystal Reports for Eclipse 2.0 in a desktop application and ReportViewerBean is used for previewing reports. The export-dialog have several file formats and they all work fine but one annoying thing is that the filename is blank, so one have to write the filename/filextension manually before exporting to file.
    Is there a way in the code to specify what filename a report should get when exporting?
    I'm probably missing something here...
    I've searched through the forums and code examples but have not found anything about this.
    Thanks in advance
    // Uhlen

    To be clear, are you looking to have the Save As field in the export dialog box populated with a report name when you export the report?
    When exporting from the viewer it isn't possible to do this, however if you export directly using the SDK, you can set the report name and path to whatever you like and automatically export to that location.

  • Finding original filename from exported renamed jpeg

    Typically I import over 1,000 images from a job into a project.
    I edit and export around 500 final images as jpegs renamed sequentially for my client.
    My client asks for say a colour version of a particular black & white image but the file info on my clients image does not contain any reference to the original filename.
    Is there any way to include the original filename in exif data when exporting the images from Aperture?

    There's a simpler method which you might consider using.
    What file naming convention are you using on import? Why not rename your camera files on import into Aperture something like " dateclient_joboriginalfilename ". You could then either use that, or export with that name plus a sequential numbering scheme.
    Or -- the same as Viren's excellent suggestion -- select all the files you are going to export, create duplicate versions, with the duplicates still selected create a new Album containing all of them, then use Aperture to rename the Versions prior to export and export using the Version name. Versions don't use much space (they are text files), and you end up with an Album of neatly numbered Versions of just the photos you've given to your client +with the file names of their files exactly the same as your Aperture Version names+.

  • Keep Red Filename when exporting to QT

    I have a lot of Red Footage which I need to trim/color correct in FCP. I use log and transfer window to ingest the footage and then Export > Quick Time to 1080p.
    The problem is, I have to maintain the original filename for future reference.
    Is there a way to keep the original file name when exporting?
    When I export, it ask me for the file name as "save as" and it puts "Sequence 1" by default in. Is there any way to override that and put the original file name in?

    Yes, thank you, I know about the voodoo to get things out to Compressor. Must be a sequence in the main sequence folder in the bin to work voodoo thing.
    I think my problems are systemic as now compressor will not launch. I have been having nothing but problems since I installed 10.4.10. First all my Office programs would not launch then I actually installed OS 10.4.10 several times rebuilding my system by archive and installing 10.4.8 and then using the combo installer from there. I thought I had a stable system but I guess I will have to revert to 10.4.9 or reinstall compressor or Quick Time or FCP Studio or.......ARRGGHHHH?
    I though that the dialog was amusing in the extreem! It wasn't "Sequence has no media" it was:
    "No Movie in File" Of course there isn't any movie in the file you didn't put the movie into a file....sheesh. Anyway I'll post again.

  • Losing resolution when exporting...

    I have made a few movies using photos and video clips set to music. When I export them, either using Quicktime or sharing them with iDVD, they lose a lot of resolution. Is there a way to burn these movies to DVD without losing quality?

    I used the Ken Burns feature on every photo (70 total). Some of the photos are 3264x2448(8MP), most are 2592x1944(5MP), and a few are scanned photos size app. 2711x2033.
    Okay. Would assume the still are being stored in your project as 1920x1440 frames. (You can check this out for yourself and I don't know if working in PAL mode would be different that NTSC.) In any case, the stored image resolution will be the limiting factor for export resolution.
    When finished, I exported the video in Large size 720x576. At this resolution the quality was very deteriorated.
    Just finished making a dozen runs duplicating your work flow in Compressor Native PAL, Compressor Native NTSC, 768x576, 640x480, etc. and cannot duplicate you problem without doing something like using a filter to overdrive the contrast like this:
    Preview in iMovie '08
    Output in QT Player
    Output w/Overdriven Contrast in QT Player
    Apple Care recommended that I share with iDVD, but I got the same results. Then I started experimenting with Quicktime, which is where I am now. I have tried several different sizes, including my own concoctions with the custom function (1382x1036 is what I'm exporting at now, I want to keep a 4:3 aspect ratio).
    As indicated above, you can open your project folder and check the "Still Images" QT file which contains your stored photos to see their resolution. Max resolution depends on your project import settings (e.g., 1920x1080, 960x540, etc.) and their orientation. In any case, this is the max height resolution to which you can export your project at optimum quality for its aspect ratio. Remember, however, that whatever resolution you export your project to will later be re-scaled in iDVD down to 720x576 (PAL) or 720x480 (NTSC) for burning to DVD. If you think the increased processing time is worth whatever increase in quality you may achieve, then go for it.
    The resolution looks acceptable (once I shrink the movie down to fit on the screen), but as I mentioned the color saturation is too high. In the quicktime filters, I adjusted the saturation down to 80 percent, and reduced the red by 5. Still waiting on the results...
    Still haven't a clue here.

  • Adding zeros to filenames when exporting in Lightroom "Filename-001" "Fliename-002" etc?

    Hi, does anyone know if it is possible to add zeros before numbers when exporting files eg: "Filename-001" "Fliename-002" etc? The default setting is "Filename-1" "Filename-2" ect. The reason I want to have zeros in the number sequence is that certain software will display files in the wrong numerical sequence eg: "Filename-1" "Filename-10" Filename-11" etc and then "Filename-2" after "Filename-19". If zeros are added the files will always be displayed in the correct sequence "Filename-001" "Filename-002"... "Filename-009" "Filename-010" "Filename-011" etc.

    Just customize the filename using the template editor, and use the Sequence token set to the number of leading zeroes you want, as shown.

  • Losing saturation when exporting from 1.3

    Hello!
    I need some help. I just started noticing that when I export my jpegs from Lightroom that I am losing saturation in my images. What am I doing wrong? Do I need to change my settings to something else?
    Is anyone else having this problem?
    I am exporting as RGB.
    Thanks!
    Jen

    Chaps,
    I'm with Jao on this one.
    Here's how it is:
    |----------------------| ProPhoto Gamut
    |-------------------| Camera Gamut
    |----------------| Monitor Gamut
    If you're in control of your colour management, you are exporting a ProPhoto file and then transforming it to sRGB:
    |----------------------| ProPhoto Gamut
    |                |  ^
    |                |  |_ "Clipped" data lost in transform
    |                |
    |----------------| sRGB Gamut
    In this case "80% ProPhoto red" maps to "100% sRGB red" and the picture looks right, although it may be clipped. You can't see this clipping on the monitor though. The monitor can't tell the difference between "80% ProPhoto red" and "100% ProPhoto red". You understand I'm making it up with my "80%" and "100%", that's why they're in quotes.
    If you're not in control of your colour management, you are exporting a ProPhoto file and then assigning sRGB to it:
    |----------------------| ProPhoto Gamut
    |                     /
    |                    /
    |                   /   <- Squeeze down assigning sRGB to ProPhoto pic
    |                  /
    |                 /
    |                /
    |----------------| sRGB Gamut
    That produces exactly the symptoms you describe. Something that was "80% red" in ProPhoto should map to something "100% red" in sRGB as described above. With bad colour management, one maps "80% ProPhoto red" to "80% sRGB red" and they look nothing like each other.
    Note that so-called
    color stupid applications - like Preview on Windows, for example - do exactly that.
    However, both Photoshop CS3 and Lightroom are not color stupid.
    I can easily force CS3 into doing it by a) not embedding the colour space when I save the file and/or b) "applying" a profile instead of "converting to" a profile.
    Lightroom does neither of these things by default on my machine.
    Your mileage may vary.

  • Losing image when exporting from CS5 to PDF

    Hi All!
    I am working off of a file that was sent to me by our designer. I made a few small changes to some text and went to export to PDF and one (and only one) of my images is lost in the PDF!
    The image was originally embedding in a .idml (mark up) file when it came from the graphic designer. I worked in that file and saved it as an .indd file (CS5) and exported. I then tried to delete the file and link it, no go. Re-embed it, still nothing. I've now tried exporting it once again to .idml and exporting to PDF with no success.
    I then went in, opened the original .idml file and exported to PDF without making any changes and I'm still losing the image! My graphic designer is able to export just fine on his end (I'm pretty sure he's working on CS6) and we've had the peice printed once already, so I know it's something going array on my end.
    I've also tried changing various export settings with no luck. What am I missing here?
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Is CS5 patched to 7.0.4?
    Is the image on a master page?
    Is it visible when you switch to Preview mode?

  • Illustr. CS5 Appending -01 onto filenam when export .jpg

    Hi, I'm having two really annoying problems when I export images from Illustrator CS5.
    Problem no.1
    Anytime I export an image file, Illustr always appends -01 onto the end of the filename even into an empty folder. Never had this problem before. I'm on Lion. Anyone think it may have to do with that?
    Prob no.2
    Also, is there a way to make Illustrator default to having the "Use Artboard" checked the Export dialogue?? It's so annoying having to check that everytime I need to export an image, which for producing comps is ALL the time.

    You know what,... you're absolutely right. It wouldn't make sense when there are several artboards. Right now I'm just hammering on this project and the sketch phase is just taking forever, using [one] artboard for each file. Just needed to quickly pump out a bunch of comps. [probably a better way to do it].
    It makes sense that exporting artboards should be numbered for you BUT if exporting only one, you'd think the system would be smart enough NOT to throw a number on the end. Whatevs.
    I should have thought of this before I posted, but I just remembered I could have been using the save-for-web dialogue. THAT remembers exactly where you last exported to. Yea, Mac has recent places too, shoulda thought of that as well... 
    Theyve obviously thought this thru more than me...   Thanks a million for your help!!

  • Retain Filename when Export Trim

    I often use the trim function in Quicktime X.
    To view a video, I open it up and sometimes I need to make it shorter.
    The I use trim and export back to the folder I had the original clip so that it over writes it.
    My problem is, that I need the original file name. When I export, it always wants to save it as "untitled".
    So I have to go back-and out of QT click on the clip in the folder>copy and then paste in the export window.
    Lot of work. (My filenames are 16 Digits-to long to type every time)
    Any way to set it to the original file name?

    To be clear, are you looking to have the Save As field in the export dialog box populated with a report name when you export the report?
    When exporting from the viewer it isn't possible to do this, however if you export directly using the SDK, you can set the report name and path to whatever you like and automatically export to that location.
