Moving and renaming image files

I want to move & rename image files to folders on the hard drive by dragging and dropping them into my application. I read about the problem with renameTo() method with windows. Is this possible to do in java? I heard about a method in which you read,write and delete the old file? How do I go about making this happen?

Well, what happens if you create the folder C:/Test/testfile1.txt ?
Or alternatively remove the part that says "testfile1.txt" from the directory path in your program.
Or alternatively call dir.mkdirs() before trying to rename.
What I am getting at is that when you create a file with the constructornew File(dir,newdest.getName())the parameter dir is treated as a directory no matter what its name is. If its name is "C:/Test/testfile1.txt," the name of the new file will be "C:/Test/testfile1.txt/name_of_newdest"where name_of_newdest is the name of the "newdest" file. This might not be what you wanted

I am unable to drag and drop image files in a JAVA supposrted site. I have all the lastest versions of softwarte here - everything is up to date.

I am no longer able to drag and drop image files int this JAVA supported site. It had always worked flawlessly in the past.
I would open the site, go to Send Files, allow access, fill out the fields and then drag and drop my image files. Now I can only use the ADD (+) button to do so.
I have the latest versions of OS-X Lion and JAVA installed on my computer

What is causing this? The file "iTunes Library.itl" does not appear to be a valid iTunes library file. iTunes has created a new iTunes library and renamed this file to "iTunes Library (Damaged) 4". This happens everytime I start iTunes lateley. Help!!!

Everytime I open iTunes lately...I get all my music thrown out of the library and this annoying message come up...The file “iTunes Library.itl” does not appear to be a valid iTunes library file. iTunes has created a new iTunes library and renamed this file to “iTunes Library (Damaged) 4”. Is this how an apple works? It doesn't? Why all of a sudden is it doing this? Please help. Thank you.

Did you happen to bring this iTunes library over from a windows machine? You might read this kb article to see if it helps http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451

Why has this occurred The file "iTunes Library.itl" does not appear to be a valid iTunes library file. iTunes has created a new iTunes library and renamed this file to "iTunes Library (Damaged)".

My itunes library suddenly that the file “iTunes Library.itl” does not appear to be a valid iTunes library file. iTunes has created a new iTunes library and renamed this file to “iTunes Library (Damaged)”. I use an external hard drive for my Itunes.

The library file appears to have been corrupted. You say you use your external drive but is the whole library on it or only your media? No matter, you will have to rebuild the library file:

How to do search with multiple texts across documents and rename the file with found text?

Hello:
I'm trying to do the batch search across the multiple documents and rename the file (or save as) after the found word?
In example:
I have many unique texts and would want to search across the multiple documents.
If a document is found with that unique text then, the document is either renamed or save as with that unique text.
So, I could know what unique text that file holds.
How do I do that?
Let me know.
Thanks

Welcome to the forum!
When you want to post a block of code, you can enclose it with the mark ups { code }
That is the key word code surrounded by curly brackets, but without the spaces
You seem to be running a very old (and unsupported release of the database)
7.3 has not been a current release for about 10 years.
It's probably been that long since I've used this technique, but i think it should work.
You should consider welcoming your system to the 21st century by upgrading to a supported release ;-)
If you used split to chop up your export file, use cat or dd to reassemble it.
So, something like this:
mknod bk.dmp p
cat xaa xab xac xad xae xaf xag xah xai > bk.dmp &
imp SYSTEM/$PASSWD parfile=imp_bk.parfile
rm bk.dmp
$ cat imp_bk.parfile
file=bk.dmp
log=imp.log
full=y
buffer=1048576
ignore=y
commit=y let us know if still have problems.
Good Luck!

Massive Aperture cleanup of duplicates and renaming of files...

Hi,
I have been wanting to clean up a massive (tens of thousands) cleanup of duplicates for quite some time, and work out a more sustainable workflow and filehandling.
The combination of several small tools seems to give me what I want, and by using:
1. Aperture to export masters with XMP sidecars
2. Mr. Clean (http://www.arcobaleno2001.it/), to clean out duplicate files
3. EXIFRenamer to rename files to createiondate_creationtime.ext
4. DateTree (http://www.orange-carb.org/DateTree/) to place files in a hierarchical structure based on creation date
...leaves me only to figure out how to bring along the XMP sidecar files and have them renamed together with the image files and I would love any input on that.
Obviously, any work done in Aperture in terms of manual sorting/grouping will be lost, but I am willing to make that sacrifice in order to avoid a manual cleanup. Anyone with a similar type of job under the belt - willing to share the experience?
Best regards,
Kjell Are Refsvik

Broken Links
It depends a bit on why things aren't where iTunes expects to find them but if they are in sensible Artist & Album folders in some common location then my FindTracks script should be able to reconnect them to iTunes. FindTracks uses some fuzzy matching routines and searches for multiple potential locations within a media folder. For more details see this thread.
Duplicates
Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
(If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed)
I intend at some point to improve DeDuper so that when there are multiple duplicates, where at least one is connected to a file while others are missing, it can throw away the entries to any missing files, however the current version needs all duplicates to have been repaired first.

Renaming image files

I'm using iWeb 1.1.2 If I click on the metrics tab under "Inspector", it will list the name of any image file I select. Is there any way to change the name of an image file without removing it from iWeb, changing it, then re-inserting it into iWeb?
Some of my image file names consist of several words and a date. I need to shorten names and eliminate spaces between words or numerals.
Help would be appreciated.

Hello Old Toad,
The images are interspersed with text on regular webpages, not in albums or anything fancy.
Yes, I tried changing names in the Domain files, but that just confused the index.html file, ruining the webpage.
The URL is bear-viewing-in-alaska.info.
That site is hosted by Yahoo. My iWeb site was created through iMac and then transferred automatically to Mobile Me.
Since search engines have great difficulty finding that content, I have been trying to transfer my pages from Mobile Me to Yahoo. But Yahoo cannot read file names that contain spaces or "&" signs, which some of my photos have. So I have been trying to rename the image files.
Put differently, I'm trying to get all of my pages into a single website (rather than 2 inter-linked websites), if not with Yahoo than with some other host that is search-engine-friendly. I initially tried shifting to RAGE, but they were just starting up as a host and did not seem to have their act together yet.
Given my desire to switch hosts, I have not paid Mobile Me for another year; so the webpages I created on iWeb cannot be viewed there. However, I've managed to transfer a few files to the Yahoo website. You will find them by clicking on "Senior Staff" near the upper right of the homepage, then clicking on "Author." That will lead to a series of images of artwork I've created.
Look forward to your insights.

Batch Renaming Image Files from a list of names

I would like to use the batch rename function in Bridge CS5 to quickly rename newly uploaded image files of our products. I would like to rename the image to it's corresponding product number. The issue is that the product numbers aren't in exact numerical order (ie. the first pic is of product ES2004 and the next one is for ES2012). The product numbers can sometimes end with a letter or a number. The pictures are taken in order of the product numbers on an excel sheet. What's the easiest way to have bridge name the image file to its corresponding part number?

Here is an example script that will do the re-naming also place the original filename into the metadata.
CSV format is fileName,Product IE:
p1020337.jpg,E179562
p1020338.jpg,Z556301
Copy and paste the script into ExtendScript Toolkit (This gets installed with Photoshop)
Open Bridge
Edit > Preferences > Startup Scripts
Click "Reveal My Startup Script"
Save the script into this folder.
Close and restart Bridge and accept the new script.
To use, navigate to the folder with the documents to rename, "Right mouse click Menu" select "Rename to Product" and select your csv file.
#target bridge
if( BridgeTalk.appName == "bridge" ) {
fileNameToProduct = MenuElement.create("command", "Rename to Product", "at the end of Thumbnail");
fileNameToProduct.onSelect = function () {
renameToProduct();
function renameToProduct(){
var Path =app.document.presentationPath;
var descFile = File.openDialog("Open Product File","CSV File(*.csv):*.csv;");
if(descFile == null) return;
descFile.open('r');
var datFile=[];
while(!descFile.eof){
var line = descFile.readln();
if(line.length > 5) datFile.push(line);
descFile.close();
for(var t in datFile){
var str=datFile[t];
str= str.split(',');
var fileName = File(Path+"/"+ str.shift());
var product = str.shift();
if(!fileName.exists) continue;
var ext = fileName.toString().toLowerCase().match(/[^\.]+$/);
var thumb = new Thumbnail(fileName);
var md = thumb.synchronousMetadata;
md.namespace = "http://ns.adobe.com/xap/1.0/mm/";
md.PreservedFileName = thumb.name;
$.sleep(100); //give it time to update the metadata
var newName = product + "." +ext;
fileName.rename(newName);
alert("All done");

Is there an alternative to Canon CameraWindow to import photos and rename the files to include shooting date?

I've used Canon's CameraWindow software for years to import large quantities of photos direct from my SD card, specifically because it renames the files based on date taken and nicely orgnizes them into folders. I save those to an external HD and import them to my iphoto library. Now after moving to Lion, CameraWindow isn't compatible because it's a PowerPC app I guess. I can't find any update via Canon. I don't really use any of the other EOS Utilities, I just want to be able to rename those files by dates, which is why I don't use iphoto to import and I've seen that suggested in other places. I'm happy to abandon Canon software all together if there is an alternative out there. Thanks for any suggestions!

Most professional photo management software can batch-rename files using metadata such as date, and can organize into date folders on import. I know that Adobe Lightroom and the Photo Downloader in Adobe Bridge can do this, and I think Apple Aperture and PhaseOne MediaPro can too. All of these programs are maintained for OS X compatibility better than Canon and Nikon software are.
Have you looked at Canon's camera software page? They have Canon software that works with Lion and later, the only question is whether the software for your specific camera has been updated.

Efficiency of decoding and displaying image files?

BRIEF SUMMARY
My question is this: can Flash Player download JPG and GIF
files from a server and rapidly open/decode them, ready for
display, efficiently and
entirely 'in memory'?
Would Flex be a good choice of language for developing a RIA
that needs to continually download lots of JPG and GIF images
on-the-fly from the server and render them on the screen? I *don't*
want my application to thrash the hard disc.
BACKGROUND
I am designing a 'rich' web app, and I'm investigating
whether Flex is the right tool for the job.
Although Flash's animation features are an obvious selling
point for implementing my user interface, I also need to do some
server-side rendering. What I want to do is perhaps a little
unorthodox: I will be generating lots of GIF and JPG files on the
fly and these will be streamed to the client (along with other
application data, e.g. in XML format) to update different parts of
the on-screen document. In need this to happen very quickly (in
some cases, creating the effect of animation).
It happens that JPGs and 16-colour GIFs will be, by far, the
most efficient formats for streaming the images, because of the
nature of the application. I could of course send the images in
some proprietary format, geared for my application, but presumably
decoding the images would be slow as I would have to implement this
myself in ActionScript, and so I would be limited by the speed of
Flex 'bytecode'. (I realise Flash is a lot more optimised than it
once was, but I am hoping to see a gain from using image formats
that Flash natively understands!)
Naturally the internet bandwidth should (in principle) be the
bottleneck. However, assuming I can get my image files to the
client on time, want I want to know is:
how efficient is Flash at loading such files?
Bearing in mind that I'm not just displaying the occasional
image -- I will be doing this continuously. Most of the images
won't be huge, but there will be several separate images per
second.
The image files will be a mixture of normal colour JPGs and
4-bit colour GIFs (LZW-compressed). I know that Flash natively
supports these formats, but depending on how Adobe have implemented
their LZW/Huffman decoding and so on, and how much overhead there
is in opening/processing downloaded image files before they are
ready to 'blit' to the screen, I imagine this could be pretty fast
or pretty slow!
If my client only has a modest PC, I don't want the JPG/GIF
decoding alone to be thrashing his CPU (or indeed the disc) before
I've even got started on 'Flashy' vector stuff.
I'm new to Flash, so are there any 'gotchas' I need to know
about?
E.g. Would it be fair to assume Flash Player will do the
decoding of the downloaded image entirely 'in memory' without
trying to do anything clever like caching the file to disc, or
calling any libraries which might slow down the whole process? It
would be no good at all if the images were first written to the
client's hard disc before being ready to display, for example.
Further, if I'm doing something a little out-of-the-ordinary,
and there is no 'guarantee' that images will be loaded quickly,
what I'm doing might be a bad idea if a later version of Flash
Player may (for example) suddenly start doing some disc access in
the process of opening a newly downloaded image. So, while I could
just 'try it and see', what I really need is some assurance that
what I'm doing is sensible and is likely to carry on working in
future.
Finally, I imagine JPG/GIF decoding could be something that
would vary from platform to platform (e.g. for the sake of
argument, Flash Player for Windows could use a highly-optimised
library, but other versions could be very inefficient).
This could be the 'make or break' of my application, so all
advice is welcome! :) Thanks in advance.

You need a servlet/jsf component to render the image in the response.

How to check image GPS data and get image file from image field

Hello,
I have some trouble and want to fix this problem.
1. I want to validate image file before its attached in image field about the image file have a GPS data or not. Have any way that can be check about image has contained a GPS data?
2. After validate image and PDF form is upload to the server. I want to get image file that embed in image field, because I have to extract image from PDF form and store this image in project image folder. If this topic can be fix by code script please give me some example code.
Thakyou for every comment and suggestion
Best Regards,
Mai

Hi Naill,
First I have to say thankyou for your answer.
About my (1) question, My image fields have set to be a embedded data and I try to test many example script of image fields.I can get image content type, image size. But that not work when I used ImageField1.desc.embeddedHref.value. It's response as "Unknown Embedded URI". Therefore, image field is and embedded data. How can I access filename?
(2) In that forum. As I see, his problem is about how to automate change image field with href image file. But I want to extract an exist embedded image in PDF form to normal image file with original metada (such as extract image filed to .JPEG with GPS data. Same as before attached in PDF form.). There has any concept or solution in this problem?
Best Regards,
Mai

How can I copy and paste images' file?

I need to duplicate images' files (.jpeg or .gif) from a directory to another one.
How can I do?
Is there any method to do that?(with jdk1.3.1)
Thanks for your help.

The following class copies files. Just call "java FileCopier file1 file2". FileInputStream and FileOutputStream also accept File instances instead of Strings, which will help when you work with different directories.
// file: FileCopier.java
import java.io.*;
public class FileCopier {
private String fileIn, fileOut;
private int buffersize = 32768;
public FileCopier(String fileIn, String fileOut) {
    this.fileIn = fileIn;
    this.fileOut = fileOut;
public void copy() throws IOException {
    FileInputStream reader = new FileInputStream(fileIn);
    FileOutputStream writer = new FileOutputStream(fileOut);
    byte[] buffer = new byte[buffersize];
    int read;
    while( (read = reader.read(buffer, 0, buffersize)) > 0 ) {
      writer.write(buffer, 0, read);
    writer.flush();
public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException {
    FileCopier copier = new FileCopier(args[0], args[1]);
    copier.copy();
}

Drag and drop image files fom SD-card?

after upgrading to Lion (10.7.2) in 5 out of 10 times if I select image files from an inserted SD-card and drag them over to a folder on my internal harddisk (using a mouse not the trackpad of my MacBook Pro). I can drag the image files but if I release to mouse to drop them nothing happens.
The files stay there hovering over the desktop whatever I try to do. It is also not possible to remove the SD-card.
The only thing that helps is to reboot the MB Pro. Then I can check the folder on the internal harddisk an voila all the image files are there.
Do I have missed any settings or what do I have to do that drag & drop works like before?

update:
the same thing happens if I use the trackpad of the MB Pro to copy the image files with drag & drop .
Strange enough using keyboard commands cmd+C and cmd+V (cut & paste) everything works smoothly - as it was always and as it should be.
But hey, Apple brought us one of the best GUI and now with Lion this should be gone! That can't be true.

Renaming image files & years question

hello
how do i change the name of image files? i know how to change the title, but can i change the actual name of the file?
when i transferred my photos from a previous computer, iPhoto sorted them into years. how does iPhoto sort them...is it by date created, modified, etc? can i manipulate iPhoto to put photos in a certain year?
Thanks!

pogi6247
Do you want to change the name so that the file is easier to find?
There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size.
3. Show File: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

IPod hard drive and ISO image files

Every time I try to copy an ISO image file to the hard drive partition of my iPod, Windows tells me that the destination is full. This is not true, since my iPod has 23.5 GB of space left. Does anyone know why this might be, or have any way around it?
EDIT: This has not been a problem with ISO images smaller than 1GB, just in case this is a factor in the solving of this problem.

Yes, it will. But if DU says the disk is unformatted then it is also not accessible. If you have files you don't wish to lose then you will need to try recovery software:
Basics of File Recovery
General File Recovery
If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro. Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive.
The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.
