LR3 - Import file renaming issue

I'm having an issue with renaming files when importing.
I import using YYYYMMDD at the begining of the file name. However any photo that is taken after around 2pm on a given day gets tomorrows date.
Any ideas?

Known bug.

The workaround at the moment is to not rename on import, but in Library after import. Strangely, renaming in Library works correct.

LR3 Missing File Naming Issue

Hello,
I accidently deleted a number of images from two different collections. Luckily my partner had exported copies of all the keepers with the same file names.
LR3 never lost the catalog info, and the thumbnails were still present, albeit with the question marks for missing files.
In order to preserve at least the thumbnails of the non-keeper files, I simply used Windows explorer to copy the backups into the original location. (I realize I could have just deleted the old files and re-imported all of them via LR, but as I said I wanted to keep the ~10% of non-keepers as well.)
In one collection, the Locate Missing File process worked like a champ, and all the images have been reconnected in the LR catalog.
In the other collection, the Locate Missing File dialogue results in another dialogue that says the file name is not the same, even though, to my eyes, it is identical. I am not sure if it's an issue with .jpg vs .jpeg vs .JPEG or something else. When I do force the link, I get an additional dialogue that says the metadata has changes and it prompts me to overwrite it.
So my question is - Any idea why LR thinks the filenames are different when they are identical to the naked eye? Obviously I could do this one by one, but I have a few thousand images and was looking for a batch process to re-link them all. And I realize also that I could just re-import all the keepers, but I'm trying to preserve the non-keepers (they are indexing images and still have their uses, even in thumbnail form).
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Peter C

web-weaver,
Thanks for the response. I would say that it could be a factor because the files from my partner were obviously kept in a different folder. However, the move and Locate function worked fine on one set of images, but not the other. I'm guessing my partner ran the other images through some kind of processing that altered the filename in a way that is not apparent.
I'll keep trying to figure it out.
Thanks for the thought at least,
Peter

Files Renamed when importing to LR4 and now can't find them in LR3

Help! What should I do???
Yesterday I installed LR 4 Beta. I had a folder with 300 images in it on LR 3, obviously all files had names. I imported these photos into LR4 to work with LR4 and they were renamed in the process. Now in my LR3 folder, all the files still have there old names and the "missing photo ?" and I assume that's because the name has been changed and LR3 can't find them. Any thoughts on an easy fix?
Thanks,
Matthew Kraus

Thanks so much for helping me with this.
I must admit, I didn't pay too much attention when importing this "test"
group of photos to LR4, therein lies my problem. Now that I look at the
import settings that were used:
1. Files were not added or copied, they were "moved" to a new location and
also renamed.
2. Files were renamed starting with "264" using my regular import template.
Listed below are the first 10 photos with their original LR3 and he
changed LR4 names.
1201_001 changed to 1201_264-2
1201_002 changed to 1201_265-2
1201_003 changed to 1201_266-2
1201_004 changed to 1201_267-2
1201_005-Edit-Edit changed to 1201_268-2
1201_005-Edit changed to 1201_269-2
1201_005-Edit changed to 1201_270-2
1201_005-Edit-Edit-2 changed to 1201_271-2
I have a back up of my images on an EHD from several days ago which has the
original file names, but this backup only has 203 of the 268 images I
imported yesterday and are renamed.
Thanks again,
Matthew Kraus

File renaming with drag & drop import

I want to import images on disk by dragging to projects to avoid the painfully slow import dialog animation, but I also want to rename masters on import. Is there a way to do this?

Ah
I think it is actually an Apple App switcher thing.
So if the finder window does noy cover the After Effects Project window, it works, but if you have to use the app switcher, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.
I don't think it is a file type issue, so much as a live application issue, or maybe GPU related.
It's a weird thing, not that important, but it does limit where you can and can't drag from.

Missing "File Renaming" and "Destination" areas on the right side of the "Import, Library" module

Not sure why this is happening. I have uninstalled and installed LR3 three times on my Dell Laptop Running WIN 7. I have 8 gb RAM and a 750 gig HD. The processor is an Intel Core i5. According to the requirements, I should have enough hardware to run LR3. I have installed the updates so that I am running LR 3.6. For some reason, I am unable to locate the "File Renaming" and "Destination" sections on the right hand column. The "File Handling" and "Apply During Import" are visible. I have registered the program with Adobe, and believe that I have all of the current updates. The program loaded in the 64 bit mode.
Has anyone run into this problem before?
I have been unable to get the program to work properly without being able to have access to themissing items for Upload.

Weird file renaming permission issues

Hi!
We have a file rename permission issue. Here is the background:
We created a 2008 R2 DFS namespace called UserData with Read/write share permissions for Administrators, Everyone and System. UserData has been granted NTFS permissions as follows:
Everyone (This folder only): Traverse folder / Execute files, List folder / Read data, Read attributes, Create folders / Append data
CREATOR OWNER (Subfolders and files only): Full control
SYSTEM (This folder, subfolders and files): Full control
Domain Admins (This folder, subfolders and files)
We then enabled folder redirection for users My documents folder through GPO, setting the following:
Setting: Basic - Redirect everyones folder to the same location
Target folder: Create a folder for each user under the root path
\\domain\UserData
We also unchecked Grant the user exlusive rights to documents.
So, now to the really weird behaviour. We logged on to a Windows 7 (x64) client computer with a user who gets this GPO settings and that is not local administrator on the client. The folder is redirected as expected and we can create, delete and write to
files in anyway we want. We can also rename files if we choose an entirely different name and if we choose a longer or a shorter file name,
but we cannot rename the file to something with the same letters but different casing.
Examples of what will work:
"test" to "testing"
"test" to "cool"
"test" to "COOL"
Examples of what will NOT work:
"test" to "Test"
"test" to "tesT"
"test" to "TEST"
We the get this error: "File Access Denied. You need permission to perform this action. You require permission from S-1-5-21-220..... to make changes to this file."
Eventhough I'm pretty sure the share and NTFS permissions of the share are correctly set we have of course checked all the permissions when logged in and the user has Full NTFS control and Read/Write Share permissions.
We have encountered the same problem on a customer company as well, with a different domain with no links to our domain what so ever. I have also seen similar problems from other people when trying to find the answer on internet. Here is an example:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/w7itprosecurity/thread/35ced5bb-ab13-4e28-8c48-7c68ce0b775c
Anyone have any thoughts?
/Leyan

Resent discoveries:
If I log onto a Windows 7 (x86) Enterprise I face the same Issues.
If the same user logs on to one of the DFS servers holding the namespace and accesses his folder we experience
no problems renaming files.
Customer company states that all is working fine when user logs on to a Windows XP with SP3.

How do I get PSE10 to import and rename files in order?

When I place my CF card into the reader PSE opens and displays all the photos on the card the problem is they are out of order. I take volleyball photos and use the burst often The files are numbered properly by the camera but PSE seems to get them mixed up. When I import and renamer them PSE thakes them in the order they are shown and they are then renumbered out of order causind many shots to be out of order. I have never had this problem before. I have been using PSE 6 up thru 10 now and this is the first time I have had this happen. Last season I wasusing PSE9 and all my bursts sequences are in purfect order.
Am I missing something in the settings?

Hi,
The problem I have is with the PSE Organizer "Photo Downloader". When I
plug the CF card from my camera into the card reader on the computer the
"downloader" opens up and shows thumbnails of the files on the card. At
this point the files are out of order based on the file numbers applied
by the camera. I.e.: one sequence looks like this-
11,12,16,15,14,13,17,18; where 12 thru 16 were a burst. Another
sequence- 121,120,125,124,122,123; all one burst. As you can see they
are out of order. I tried leaving the card in the camera and the same
thing happens. If I view the photos in /on the camera they are in the
right order. What has been happening is that I rename and number the
files as I import them. When that happens the files get numbered in
sequence as to how they are seen in the "downloader"....this means in
the examples shown 16 would become 13; 15 becomes 14 ect. This ends up
mixing up any sequence of shots.
Once I have the RAW files imported I import them to Lightroom 4 to do
most of my processing. Here if I choose to arrange by time created I can
get them in the right order but because the files are rearranged into
the correct order and since I renamed them on importing the file numbers
are now out of order. After figuring out what the problem was I can now
import the files to lightroom without renaming > arrange by time or file
name> rename> and all seems to be OK. My question is I never had this
problem before and it was very nice to be able to rename the files at
import and be done with it.
I haven't had time to check into it but one thing I'm wondering is is
there a way to rename the files at import without changing the file
number? Is there a way to insert the date and text while keeping the
IMG_Number....i.e IMG001 becomes 2012 09 15_Volleyball_0001 keeping the
original file number and only inserting a date/name? This would solve
the whole problem as I could then arrange by file name and all would be
well.
Any ideas or help would be appreciated.

File encoding issue on import step

Dear all,
I am experiencing an import issue with csv files generated from MS Dynamics AX ERP, a Reporting Services query I guess.
Having a look at the concerned files using notepad++ I can see that encoding is UTF-8.
As a workaround, if I open files using Excel and re-save it as csv, then they are encoded as ANSI as UTF-8, in that case FDMEE import process is effective.
Regarding our settings (FDMEE v.11.1.2.3.530):
- System level: file charset is set to UTF-8
- System level: no specified file charset
- User level: no specified file charset
My questions are :
- Is this normal behavior? Why UTF-8 files are not supported if system level conf sayz UTF-8?
- Is it relative to system encoding (OS, DB...)
- Is it related to file so do I have to force encoding through befImport script?
I had a deep look at this article http://akafdmee.blogspot.fr/2014/11/importing-files-with-different-file.html which is great but still no magic solution comes to my mind! I'll keep on testing.

Hello Dora,
I had the same problem, even with the most simple JavaBean Class. I found out that the export-jar function of the Developer Studio 2.0.13 creates sightly different jars than when I use the jar-tool from the command line. You can check the jar structure by using the command
jar tf file.jar
JAR File created by Developer Studio (did not work):
D:temp>jar tf test.jar
META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
de/test/bean/SimpleBean.class
JAR created by jar tool from the SDK from the top directory with
jar cf test.jar de
D:temp>jar tf test.jar de
META-INF/
META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
de/
de/test/
de/test/bean/
de/test/bean/SimpleBean.class
The second jar file worked for me even <b>without any special manifest file</b> but the one that is automatically created.
I hope that helps!

Issues importing file with "copy into document option".

I am running Framemaker 7.1. I need to import a .jpg image into my document. I selected File-Import-File and then selected the file and the "copy into document" option. This placed the .jpg image into my document. I saved the document and then closed it. Then I moved the .jpg image file which I imported into the document to another location. I then re-opened the document and I get the following message:
"Missing File - Looking for ../xx.jpg". I select the "Skip This File" option and then "Continue". When I scroll down through the document to where I had previously imported the .jpg image and when I get to that page, I get the following message popup, "Cannot display some imported graphics. The images will appear as gray boxes." Once I select "OK" on the popup message, the image is displayed as normal.
Could someone help explain to me how I can actually copy the image into the document without any reference to the original file pathname.
Thanks.

I was able to activate the hypertext. When I click on the hypertext for the imported picture reference, the original document opens up but I don't see anything to indicate the imported reference. The bottom line is that I want to delete the imported references since I don't want the references in the document.
Somewhere buried in the framemaker document are these two imported references and I want to remove them. How do I do this?
Keep in mind that when I click on the hypertext imported reference, it switches to the original document, but I don't see anything that indicates an imported reference so there is nothing for me to delete.
Thank you.

File renaming and second copy

If I import RAW and tick 'Copy as DNG' and 'Make a second Copy' and 'File rename: Prefix-Date-Image#', the 'second' copies are not DNG and not renamed.
If I import JPEG and tick 'Copy' and 'Make a second Copy' and 'File rename: Prefix-Date-Image#', the 'second' copies are renamed!
So why in case of RAWs are the second copies not renamed? This bug precludes the use of more than one camera at a shoot.
LR3.6
How come??? I recall this was an old issue; is it too difficult to repair such a simple bug???

If this is changed, make sure it is a choice as otherwise the copy function is of no use to me. I do not want LR to make changes to the original files that I copy for backup in any way. I use the function for how it was designed (a temporary back up with no changes made to the files from the card) and make back ups of the files in the LR catalog separately. Once everything is safely backed up I can then delete the temporary copies.
I would guess there are lots of others like me who don't want this situation changed as we have been doing this for several years now since prior to LR 1 when the thing was in beta..

Custom File Renaming Template Keeps Changing

I'm having issues when creating a custom file naming template in Tiger with LR 1.3.1.
When importing files, I created a custom template to rename the files with YYMMDD_{original file suffix}{Master}.tif to get this: 071217_12056Master.tif. The first import goes fine. But when I import another batch of files and choose the template all I get is 071217_Master.tif.
I tried creating the template by hitting F2 to rename the photo and get the same results. The really odd thing is that some of the other templates have their characteristics jumbled around so that what I thought was the "orig file-name" template might actually produce something like 071217_.tif.
The original file suffix suffers the worst in terms of disappearing without cause. This behavior was occurring in the 1.2 ver. as well. I've deleted every single template thru the editor, recreated them again and still get the errors.
Hopefully someone here can provide some clues?
Thank you!

It sounds as though your import preset either isn't working or wasn't setup correctly.
Using the full screen import panel, make sure Copy or Move is selected and then select your Import Preset....what does the File Renaming panel look like? "Rename Files" should be ticked, Template should read "Custom Settings" (or the specific rename preset if you've saved it) and the sample should show the correct rename format, like so:
So does yours look like this, or different?

LR 5.7.1 File Renaming start number field is missing

Installed Lr CC 5.7.1 on a MacBook Air OS 10.10.2 - in the Lr import window in the File Renaming panel the Start Number field is missing and I can not add a start number to the files? Any suggestions on what is causing this issue and how to repair this Start Number field omission?

Sounds like you are looking for the "sequence" field. The "original file number" is also a good one to use.
