Naming Export Files

Sorry if this is obvious or previously discussed, but:
I want to be able to name a file before I export to iTunes. I often want to send either a soloed track, a sub-mix, or different versions of mixes and they all end up being called my default song title. I want to name them something "Full mix" or "minus vocals" or "drum sub-mix." etc.
Can I rename for export only without doing a "save as" or "save as archive?"
If not, this will be put in a feedback form to Apple.

No, that's not possible. Probably a lot of us find this annoying. If you export several soloed tracks, you should rename the tune in iTunes immediately after export - otherwise you can be almost sure you'll confuse them sooner or later.

When exporting from Photos, the panel for naming the file no longer shows up. Why and how do I change so I can name the file what I want?

You don't need to maintain all versions of the upgrade chain, but many of us do in case we need to work on a legacy file. If you want to rmove a version, though, ti should be done BEFORE installing the later one. Just reinstall CS5 and things should get back to normal.

Aspect Ratio Sort and Export (File Naming)

When I crop my photos, I sometimes find that some photos work best in the 4x5/8x10 crop and others in a 2x3/4x6 aspect ratio.
Issue #1) How can I sort and find all of my images with a specific aspect ratio?
When in the Library module and setting up a filter (ctrl+f), I don't see any way to filter and sort out my aspect ratio. In the "Metadata - Label" filter fields, there is an "Aspect Ratio" value however the only options are Portrait and Landscape. (more of a photo/page layout than 'aspect ratio' to me)
** Feature Request: Please add "Aspect Ratio" options (just as presented with "r" is pressed for resize) in the Library Filter Metadata. **
Issue #2) How can I include the aspect ratio of the image (e.g. 4x5) in the exported file name?
I don't see any way to to do this either, so I have to manually find all of the images with the same aspect ratio first, then set a Custom Name field for export and export each ratio at a time.
** Feature Request: Please add "Aspect Ratio" options to the file naming fields available for selection when exporting images. Values like "4x5" and "4x6" would be great to be able to include in the filename of my images.

Brian

The export file from a calc script - naming and date/time stamp

Here is a simple calc script to export data.
2 questions:
1. Is there an easy way to add a date/time stamp on the name of the data file so that it does not overwrite the older ones every time?
2. I tried to specify the path so that it write to another server. "\\mfldappp011\E:\Exp_AW.txt". It's not working. How should I specify the path ?
Fix (@Relative("Yeartotal",0),"Actual","Working",&ActualYear);
Dataexport "file" "," "C:\Exp_AW.txt" "#MI";
EndFix;
Edited by: user9959627 on Sep 7, 2012 11:25 AM

Probably easiest to call the maxl script from a command line script, then rename the exported file to include the tme stamp and copy/move it to a location.
Cheers

Error while rendering: Export file not found - what to do?

Hi,
I have been editing my video in four different premiere pro projects (as I got adviced to do from these forums because it's AVCHD clips). I have rendered these four projects and burned to four DVD's (total playtime is around 1.5hours) - which is working fine.
But then I try to import all four projects into one big master project because I want to make a blu-ray iso. The import goes fine (I import like this: File > Import > Choose project > Import entire project)
I export to encore, make the menus etc. and click "build" to start rendering. The problem is that after some time I get this error:
Blu-ray Object: "sequence-name-here/project-name-here.prproj", Export file not found
I have seen this error before while rendering some of the four individual projects - but when I saw them I simply just tried again by exporting to encore from the projects again. This seemed to work - but with the big master project I have tried several times with no luck.
Can anyone help me fix this issue? :)

Yes, I got this too:
For posterity, here is what I have found that completely fixes this error, repeatedly: Clear Encore's cache. Specifically:
Close your Encore project and exit Encore
Go to the cache subdirectory named for your project (ie. if your save file is c:\projects\mymovie.ncor then go to c:\projects\mymovie\cache)
Delete the file "mlf.cache.v10"
If your Encore project contains any Premiere Pro dynamically-linked assets, start Premiere Pro and load at least one of the projects used in Encore. (I have found that this reduces memory usage -- for some reason, Premiere Pro takes up less memory than if Encore spawns the PProHeadless.exe media server to serve the same function)
Restart Encore and load your project
...and wait, patiently, for Encore to re-scan all of your assets and build up the cache again and don't touch it until it's finished. I use Process Explorer (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653) to watch my disk activity and CPU to know when Encore is finished (just hover on the cyan-colored graph and you can see what program is performing the most disk activity). Once it's all finished, I save, then immediately try to build my project again. For proof of concept, my 40GB BD-50 project just built last night after getting this error yesterday afternoon.
If any of your assets are not transcoded before you begin this process, transcode them all, then start this process over again from step one. Clearing the cache does not clear the transcodes.
I hope this helps someone. I was not looking forward to completely re-authoring my project, which I've been working on (on and off) for a few months.

Hi all,
Generally, the exported file name will defaulted to report name. However, anyone know that can i change the exported file name to another specific file name which different as my report name? The exported file naming as following:- Let said i would like to export my report (dailyreport.rpt) into excel file and the exported file name as below:- dailyreport_<Report_Run_Date>.xls **<Report_Run_Date> will be a field which is retrieve from my stored procedure.

Hello,
If you've not already solved this, let me ask a couple q's:
What tool are you running this report through for the export (it sounds like you're wanting to automate the process)?
Is it Business Object XI or Crystal Enterprise or simply manually exporting it using the CR designer program or...?

Naming R3d Files in Premier + Timeline Settings for 4K plus archival HD and SD footage

We recently made the switch over to Premier and are beginning post on our first 4k 16x9 project. Very exciting to be editing with the raw r3d files, our one concern is that naming the files (it is a feature doc with a lot of footage) in premier will break the link to the orginal file once we export via xml to resolve for the online as well as to go back to color correct in Red CineX. Is this correct or comepletely misguided. My gut says that naming the files in premier is just adding to the metadata associated with the clip and the export should be fine. Can you please set me straight?
We are also going to be adding archival footage from 1080 to SD with varied frame rates. The bulk of the footage is shot at 4k 16x9 at 23.98. What would you recommend our timeline setting be set at? Ultimately we will be exporting at 1080, but ideally want to keep the timeline as high res as possible for future export at higher resolutions.
Thank you for your help and guidance!
Best,
Travis Rummel

I'm afraid there probably isn't a good way to scale SD to 4K...
unless it originated on film and you can go back to transfer.
Magic Bullet Instant HD works pretty well upscaling SD to HD.
when you say renamiong can "sometimes make tracing the original media file on disk more difficult"
I am referring to file management on disk as it relates to the Project.
For example if you load all of your media and change the file names,
then discover that there is something quirky with a particular file... it will
make it more difficult to trace on disk for evaluation.
It will not affect the media reference in .xml export at all.

Open an Exported File directly in Photoshop (after exported file created)

var doc = app.activeDocument;
var destFolder = Folder ("~/Documents");
if (destFolder) {
     var fileName = activeDocument.name;
    var destFile = new File(destFolder + '/' + fileName);
    var psdExportOptions = new ExportOptionsPhotoshop();
    // Set PSD export options
    psdExportOptions.saveMultipleArtboards = true;
    psdExportOptions.artboardRange = "1";
    psdExportOptions.antiAliasing = false;
    psdExportOptions.resolution = 300;
    psdExportOptions.embedICCProfile = false;
    psdExportOptions.writeLayers = false;
    psdExportOptions.imageColorSpace = ImageColorSpace.CMYK;
    doc.exportFile (destFile, ExportType.PHOTOSHOP, psdExportOptions);
This code I created exports my current Ai document as a PSD with set options. It also names the new file what it is called in Ai.
How can I call the created file and open it directly in Photoshop? Keep in mind I would be working on multiple files, so file names would change every time I ran this Export Script.
I could call a specifically named file and open that, but that's not what I need this script to do. I just need it to open the newly created PSD file. Any help would be greatly apreciated!!!

Hi Mark,
BridgeTalk or for simple commands like this, Interapp communication (Cross-DOM)
use photoshop.open(fileObject);
before that you need to build your newly exported file object
     doc.exportFile (destFile, ExportType.PHOTOSHOP, psdExportOptions);
var psfile = new File(destFolder + '/' + fileName.split('.')[0] + '-01.psd');
if (psfile.exists) {
     //alert('file exists')
    photoshop.open(psfile);
else
    alert('file does not exist');

Export file names with Face name?

There doesn't appear to be a way to do this from what I can tell but I figured I'd ask. I'd like the export photos so the name of the file is the person's name. Possible?

You can export a file, so that the version name is used as the filename for the exported file. So you would have to open each Faces stack and rename the versions in this with a custom name preset, where you add the name of the person to the custom name.
A lot of work.
If you export the an image version with a named face, Aperture 3.5.1 will add the name as a keyword to the exported file. Perhaps the keyword will suffice for your purpose?

Export File Names with Dashes

How do I tell Illustrator to NOT put dashes in the file names when I save for web and to JPG or PNG, etc. etc.? I take them out, only to have Illustrator put them right back in. I can understand if this is for people creating images specifically for websites, whereby spaces are invalid for file names, but I'm not and I happen to like my spaces, thank you very much! Frustrated.

How-to list the contents of a Data Pump Export file?

How can I list the contents of a 10gR2 Data Pump Export file? I'm looking at the Syntax Diagram for Data Pump Import and can't see a list-only option.
Regards,
Al Malin

use the parameter SQLFILE in the impdp which writes all the sql ddl's to the specified file.
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14215/dp_import.htm
SQLFILE
Default: none
Purpose
Specifies a file into which all of the SQL DDL that Import would have executed, based on other parameters, is written.
Syntax and Description
SQLFILE=[directory_object:]file_name
The file_name specifies where the import job will write the DDL that would be executed during the job. The SQL is not actually executed, and the target system remains unchanged. The file is written to the directory object specified in the DIRECTORY parameter, unless another directory_object is explicitly specified here. Any existing file that has a name matching the one specified with this parameter is overwritten.
Note that passwords are not included in the SQL file. For example, if a CONNECT statement is part of the DDL that was executed, it will be replaced by a comment with only the schema name shown. In the following example, the dashes indicate that a comment follows, and the hr schema name is shown, but not the password.
-- CONNECT hr
Therefore, before you can execute the SQL file, you must edit it by removing the dashes indicating a comment and adding the password for the hr schema (in this case, the password is also hr), as follows:
CONNECT hr/hr
For Streams and other Oracle database options, anonymous PL/SQL blocks may appear within the SQLFILE output. They should not be executed directly.
Example
The following is an example of using the SQLFILE parameter. You can create the expfull.dmp dump file used in this example by running the example provided for the Export FULL parameter. See FULL.
impdp hr/hr DIRECTORY=dpump_dir1 DUMPFILE=expfull.dmpSQLFILE=dpump_dir2:expfull.sql
A SQL file named expfull.sql is written to dpump_dir2.

Exported Files(pictures) not Added to Library

Hello,
I installed Lightroom 4.4 recently. I have been using 2.x for years.
I exported a number of jpg files into a JPG subfolder. These jpgs were generated from cr2 files. The "add to catalog" option was selected. My problem is that not only the exported files/pictures were not added to the catalog but that I cannot add them manually (by syncing the upper-level folder).
I used to do it like this for years and it worked.
Any comments, ideas?
Thank you!

Hello,
Have you found where the files are being exported to?
Are they in the correct place? (IE. where ou expected)
Are you certain the first option of the export dialog was Export to: Same folder as original - and not - Specific Folder before electing a Subfolder of JPG?
Yes to all of the above. The new (exported) files are where I want them to be, i.e., in the same subfolder as the CR2 files. The CR2 files are in one sub-folder named CR2 and the JPG files are in the JPG subfolder named JPG of the same containing folder. I can see/browse/display the exported files in explorer. The export worked as expected and placed the newly generated jpg files in the right place. The only thing that did not work as I would expect it to was that the newly generated files (and folder) were not added to the library. If I remember well this is how my Lightroom 2 was behaving as well. This is not a big deal, or WAS not a big deal as in LT2 I would then synchronize the folder and bring all the exported files into the library.
My current problem is that syncing does not work as it used to; it does not list the JPG folder(s) (or any of the exported jpg files in these folders) as part of what to sync. The folders are physically there but they are not selectable or visible as part of the sync, as if they were already in the library (they are not) or as if they were deliberatly ommitted for some reason...
Do you have any filters active in Lightroom that would hide the jpgs?
I did not turn on any filters on. Where are the filters so that I could check if something is not on by default?
Thanks!

Aperture 3.1.2 When exporting files to Finder is creating a folder for each file, that means export 200 files is creating 200 folders for each files. Does anyone knows how to fix this. Thanks

Aperture 3.1.2 When exporting files to Finder is creating a folder for each file, that means export 200 files is creating 200 folders for each files. Does anyone knows how to fix this. Thanks

No. This is NOT true. I've been battling with this for a couple hours.
I choose Export>Versions
choose
Subfolder Format: Project Name
no custom subfolder
Name Format: Current Version Name.
Aperture creates project folders for each image and names them Projects1, Projects2, Projects3 etc.
To be sure, I have no project named Projects
x
This particular Aperture library has 16 projects. you can see in the screen grab it's created more than 30 folders
If I uncheck the Subfolder, that is say NONE, I just get images and images and images, not in their project folders (of course, because I've said NONE, so why would it put them in project folders?)
I just want to export the entire library and have the versions placed in folders named by the projects from which they came.... ez enough, no?

Blue-Ray Object: "Menu"; Export File Not Found--Any Clues?

Trying to build a Blue-Ray DVD in CS3 (version 3.0.1.008). Project has motion menus and previews without errors. Upon trying to build either a disc or image I get the error
Blue-ray object: "Menu"; Export file not found.
Where "Menu" is the name of one of the sub menus in my project.
Has anyone seen this error? What is an Export file? When and how does it get created?
I have successfully burned this project to a standard DVD format.

I have the pleasure of closing out my own question. I found the following post that was the clue I needed.
http://forums.creativecow.net/readpost/145/857374
It would appear that the Blue Ray build process is a lot more sensitive to file naming. I brought into my project a menu that I used as a starting template, I edited it in Photoshop and then renamed it in Encore. During the Blue Ray build process Encore rendered the menus to the original template names, but when it needed them to build the DVD it looked for the files that had the new names I had given the menus in Encore.
Here is the fix. I exported the final menus using the Save as Template function in Encore. I then re-imported them as menus and relinked them to the DVD assets. Everything worked fine from that point on.
The interesting thing is this did not happen when building a standard DVD using the same menus.

Error During INSTALL of Application Export File

An error is reported during INSTALL of an application that I am trying to copy (Import/Install) from a "development" Work Space into a "production" Work Space. The production (target) Work Space is on the same HTML DB instance as the development Work Space.
I am receiving the following INSTALL error:
ORA-20001: GET_BLOCK Error. ORA-20001: GET_STMT error. ORA-20001: Execution of the statement was unsuccessful. ORA-06550: line 15, column 1: PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol &quot;,'39','RD8','8','S','10','U','43','UD','41','UG','11','W')) END)&quot; when expecting one of the following: . ( * @ % &amp; = - + ; &lt; / &gt; at in is mod remainder not rem &lt;an exponent (**)&gt; &lt;&gt; or != or ~= &gt;= &lt;=
Following is some pertinent (hopefully) information:
The above INSTALL error takes exception to part of a Region Select (sql) that works fine in the development Work Space.
The common HTML DB (v1.6) instance is on UNIX.
A new Work Space was created on the same instance.
A new schema name was created during creation of the new Work Space. However, this schema does not point to a database. (We were not certain how to setup the schema to parse to our live database.) I will be running DBLINK upon production application startup in order to access the database objects.
EXPORT INFO -

Target Work Space is newly created on the same HTML DB instance.
INSTALL INFO -
*Parse As Schema: COLLIVE17 (Again, this schema does not parse to a database. I intend to use DBLINK.)
*Build Status: Run and Build Application
Please refer to above error message.
Again, any insights or suggestions are appreciated.

Urgently need help! I've read several other Forum messages having a related problem but none having same Install error message.
Again, my Export/Import from development Workspace to production Workspace is successful. The following error is reported when I attempt to "Install" into the production Workspace:
ORA-20001: GET_BLOCK Error. ORA-20001: GET_STMT error. ORA-20001: Execution of the statement was unsuccessful. ORA-06550: line 15, column 1: PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol &quot;,'39','RD8','8','S','10','U','43','UD','41','UG','11','W')) END)&quot; when expecting one of the following: .

HTML DB version is: 1.6.0.00.67. I've also tried to Export/Import/Install the application into the "same" Workspace specifying the same schema, and only changing the Application ID. However, I get the same Install error (see above).
Any suggestions on things to try in order to get application into production is greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Bernard.
