Original File Name

"The Bridge Metadata browser will also display the preserved name"
Does anyone know how to actually do that?
More specifically, when batch renaming, there is an option to preserve the current file name in the XMP metadata. But how does one later view that original file name? Better yet, how does one sort all the renamed clips according to their original names, thus making it easy to find the one being looked for?

I tried it and it works for me. It inserts the preserved filename under the filename line. You probably need this field checked in metadata preferences.
It looks like the preserved file name is stored in the XMP sidecar data. I tried a test Find but the preserved filename does not show up.
If one slips up on the batch rename, or go back to original, one can revert to original by going back to batch rename and selecting "preserved filename" in new filenames box.

Save For Web - saves original file name not new name

Hello, when I use Save for Web with slice(s) the original file name (appended with the slice number) gets saved even though I have changed the file name in the save dialog. This only happens about 50% of the time. Sometimes it saves as expected - with the new file name. I am using the default settings in the save dialog all the time.
Stranger is that if I am saving (for Web) say 10 slices some will be named with the original file name and some will be saved with the name I gave it in the save dialog.
This was happening on my Windows XP sp2 system when I was saving to an Ubuntu server (local network). So when I switched to a new computer running windows 7 and saving to a new server (windows 7 pro) I thought it might fix the problem - but it has not. So there must be a setting I am missing - though that does not account for the intermittency of the problem. I have changed settings under "custom" in the save dialog and things do change except the original file name is persistent not the new name I have given it.
The PSD files come from a designer using a Mac.
My system:
PS 10.01
Windows 7
AMD x2 duo 250

Thank you for any help you may provide

I made an action to save large batches to a designated "pics" folder. Then when I'm done with a big batch, I just move them to the original folder and let the OS overwrite them. May seem like a lot of work, but I can do a batch of 500 gallery thumbnails in about four minutes and it takes about 30 seconds to move them and replace the originals.

How to keep original file name in File- Soap- Soap- File scenario?

Hi Gurus,
I have a requirement as bleow:
There are two PI landscape for two different company and they are communicating using Soap adapter. We need to pass a flat file cross the two PI now, and need to keep the original file name.Anyone could shed some lights on this?
Thanks,
Rajesh

Hi Rajesh - See if you can make use of Dynamic configuration bean. I'm not sure if it works but you can give a try..
Unknown use case of DynamicConfigurationBean: Store file name to JMS header without mapping
Adding DynamicConfigurationBean in the Module Processor - SAP NetWeaver Process Integration - SAP Library
Set the adapter specific attributes in file sender channel for filename
swap the file name value to any other soap adapter attribute in the receiver channel using the above module
again swap the attributes in soap sender channel(your second system)
receiver file channel enable ASMA.

In bridge am I able to return my images to their original file name?

In bridge am I able to return my images to their original file name?

yes/no. Depends on whether you have checked "preserve original file name in XMP" in batch rename.

Batch rename files preserving the original file name in metadata

How can I batch rename files while preserving the original file name in metadata? (Don't want the old file name as part of the new file name)
(Adobe CS Bridge can do this with some success, but I don't want to be dependant on this software. Results are inconsistent.)

With a simple terminal script. More details needed, though.

Acrobat 5.0 How do I keep the original file name after I have converted a Word doc to PDF?

MY colleague has a certain setting in Acrobat that allows him to keep the original file name when he converts documents from Word to PDF. Every time I convert Word, Acrobat overwrites the filename and names it "untitled.pdf". I would like to retain the original name and for Acrobat to simply add the .pdf file extension to the original name. How do I do this?

I have no idea what you are doing for sure. Does your WORD document have a name. I opened a WORD document and selected the Acrobat Distiller printer for AA5, I got the file menu for selecting the name and it was automatically filled in with the DOC changed to PDF. If you are using PDF Maker, then you will need to search there - I removed PDF Maker for AA5 years ago and can't view that part. I see the same types of options in PDF Maker for AA8.1.2 as I saw in the printer for AA5 and guess it is the same. The untitled.pdf suggests that you never saved the original DOC file so it has a name.

Need action to save a copy with original file name with suffix

Hi All,
I am using photoshop 7 (yeah its old, but working fine for me for general purposes). The problem is I have got this new task where I have to provide 3 copies of the same image but with different portions of it. I have several images (.jpeg) which I need to crop two parts of the image and save as two new image files. The requirement is that I need the copy images to bear the same name as the original and with a suffix to identify which cropped portion of the image is it. example, original file name is AB1001.jpg (1600x1200), 1st cropped image name to be AB1001_P.jpg (200x250) and the 2nd cropped image name to be AB1001_Q.jpg(100x180). I have around a 180 files, so need to do it in a batch, pls suggest how can it be done.
Any help in this regard is much appreciated.
Regards
Chhuppa Rustam

While a script would probably be best, photoshop 7 requires
you download a scripting plugin which may or may not install
in photoshop 7 depending on your version.
You can probably do what you want with actions. The file naming part
is not hard, but i have a couple of questions about the cropping.
Are all the images the same size and are the crops in the same position for each?
In other words on the P crop (200x250), is the crop in the same position on each
image or different for each?

Appending the Original File Name as Suffix to Receiver File Name

Been searching and I've seen Michael's blog about creating a UDF to place the original file name in the payload.    Since this is a file->file scenario, I have no mapping.
I have the Adapter-Specific Attributes turned on on the Sender to pass the file name in the DynamicConfiguration of the message header and I can see it in the message.
What I want to do it to have a target file name in the form of:   XXXXX_<i>originalfilename</i>.
So I have turned on variable substitution and created a variable called 'file'.
In the File Name Scheme Parameter I have entered: XXXXXX_%file%
If I set the variable substitution refererance for 'file' to message:message_id, my file name is created as XXXXX_message_id, or any of the other options from -> <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/bc/bb79d6061007419a081e58cbeaaf28/content.htm">SAP Adapter Help Page</a>
How can I get the value of FileName as the value for my variable %file%?

No, you cant read in mapping what you set in CC.
However, you can ignore the parameter FileName scheme in CC and just set it in mapping runtime.
The way you are using, you'll have to maintain the prefix for each receiver adapter you have. If you had it in mapping, you could just do something like:
String receiver = container
    .getTransformationParameters().
    .get(StreamTransformationConstants.SENDER_SERVICE);
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container
    .getTransformationParameters()
    .get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create(
    http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File,
    FileName);
String orgFileName = conf.get(key);
String tgtFileName = receiver + "_" + orgFileName;
conf.put(key, tgtFileName);
and then you wouldn't have to maintain the file name scheme in CC.

Henrique.

Files saved on memory stick on pc show as original file name followed by .XML and i cannot open why

files saved on memory stick on pc show as original file name followed by .XML for example tester.doc.XML, is there any reason? I cant open these on mac, if i put it back in PC is shows file as normal without .XML. Confused.com any ideas.

I have files on my work laptop (PC) e.g. document1.doc (word document), I then save it to my memory stick (which i have reformatted, I also tried my external disk drive) and then take that to my macbook, plug it in and in finder it then shows as document1.doc.XML, which i cannot open. It happens to all types of files, it just seems to add .XML on the end of everything.

Easy Way To Change The Original File Name??

I store all my music and videos on iTunes. I just got a AT&T Tilt and I have to use WMP to sync to it. I can't drag and drop iTunes playlists into my media card cause my Tilt uses Windows.
My main problem with WMP is even though I edit the song/video name, it still syncs over the original file name. If I change the original file name for WMP then I have to rename it for iTunes cause when I go back to iTunes to play the song/video, it says the file is missing. It's a pain
For example, in my iTunes music foler in My Music, I have a song file named Britney_Pieceofme.mp3. I edit the name of the song and artist to Britney Spears Piece Of Me but when I sync it to my phone, the original file name appears.
Thanks!

I think you may need to "look" into the song to see what information is contained in the mp3 tag. WMP automatically sees that information and will store the song at the name in the tag. To solve your problem, you will need an mp3 tag editor (google search) where you can change the tags on your songs, then put them on your Tilt. I think/hope this solves your problem.

Retrieving original file name

Recently changed file names and now need to revert back to the original file name created via camera. Can this be done in LR 4 or is this info deleted?
Thanks!

It depends on where you did the rename.....if you did it in Lightroom then yes the original file name is retained (see the Metadata Panel for old and new names). But if you renamed before importing, then no, Lightroom will have no record of the original name.

Changed File Name but reverts to original file name when exported or copied

I created a folder of 150 photos for a video montage and numbered them all by editing the file name. When I export (or copy and paste) the images to a folder on my desktop, the files all revert back to their original file names. Any ideas?

In iPhoto what you see originally is the file name as the title. Any changes to it remain in iPhoto unless you export out with the appropriate options to either same the title with the file and/or use the title as the file name.
When you export the photos via the File->Export->File Export menu option there's a File Name drop down menu at the bottom from which you can select Use Title. That will give you the Titles you changed as the new file name.

How can I check original file name

Hi all
How can I check the original file name of a slide while in Keynote.
Mike Hooley

Hi Sara,
Thankyou for your reply. What I meant was , how do you tell the original format , for example microsoft word, excel , powerpoint , jpeg, tiff , that the file was before it was converted to a PDF.
So for example, i get a pdf file from someone and i want to know was it an exel file or a word file of a Jpeg or scanned doc before they converted it to a pdf.
It appears to me this information is not availabel in the file properties unless i am missing something.
Regards

Getting original file name to show in Metadata list.

I always convert to dng first thing. Then rename the files with clients name. I know that the original file name is still in the metadata, but how do I get it to show up on LR's metadata list?

Ah. Thank you very much. I figured it was simple, just did not have time to play around to try to find it. I do not often need it, but sometimes my boss will edit a shoot before giving it to me. I prepare it for the customer. Sometimes he has wanted an image that he has under the original file name. So, this helps. Thanks again.

Original file name problem

Hi all,
Got this wierd problem with DMS.
I am opening (in change mode) an excel document stored in our DMS for editting, then I check it back in again. When I check it back in again and save, the orignal file name is getting the temp folder name appended to it!
In CV02n I have setup a Temp working directory for files, e.g. N:\Mydocs. Lets say my document is called "Requirements.xlsx" , everytime I open the document, make some changes and check it back in again SAP is adding the temp directory name to the original file name... after 3 or 4 check out/ins the file name is now "MydocsMydocsMydocsMydocsRequirements.xlsx"!!!
How do I stop SAP appending the folder name to the original file name?

Doh!
I've just figured out my own problem.
The temp working directory setup in CV02n did not have a "\" on the end of the path... so SAP thinks it's a name not a location.
changing the Temp working directory to N:\Mydocs\ solved the problem.
