Print to file, keeping the original filename
Lightroom – Print mode - Print to JPEG file - Print to file. Use: All filmstrip photos. Question: How do I Print to file and save all filmstrip photos with the original names? Seemingly I can only do so image by image by typing the original name. Furthermore the original name is not saved in the metadata when using Print to file. I want to print multiple photos keeping the original name andI do not mind if a digit is added to the end of the name. It should be possible non? I never do away with the original name.
I have the same question

How to export a file keeping the original timecode
Hello all,
I'm struggling to find out the way to do the following:
I have an entire footage file and from that I need to cut specific interviews to be translated however I must keep the original timecode where I extracted these interviews from so the editor knows where to place the subtitles (as s/he will be using the file as a whole and because it is a foreign language they won't know the correct place).
Does anyone know how to do this? Using FCP7 btw.
Thank you so so much!!!You cannot export a single QT file that has multiple timecodes embedded into it. What you can do is drop on the TIMECODE READER filters onto the clips so that they visibly show the timecode on the screen as reference.

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.

Rename files and retain portions of the original filename
I posted a thread about this a while ago, but no solution was given:
http://discussions.info.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2564646
The issue is this: I can't figure out how to rename imported files while also retaining part of the original filename. The images come off of the camera like this:
DSC_3497.nef
I need to do the following:
+- Retain the unique number that the image already has. I don't want to rename the files by date, location, lunar phase, or some other esoteric identifier. I think having a unique ID for each image (one that shows up in standard OS-level searches on both Mac and PC systems) is useful.+
+- Replace "DSC" with the camera model (D3X), since I use multiple cameras with different resolutions and also need to be able to search for images from a certain camera outside of Aperture (i.e. tags/keywords would not help).+
+- Add a digit prior to the four-digit string to indicate the true numeric sequence of the file. Since Nikon cameras reset the number sequence every 10,000 files, I want to indicate the true sequence number directly in the filename. This will also avoid filename overlaps. It also lets me know how many images I've shot with each camera.+
The intended final result would look like this:
D3X_63497.nef
Showing the 63,497th image taken with my D3X.
In Aperture's "File Naming" dialog, I don't see a way to split the existing filename in this way. It looks like I can only append or prepend a Custom Name to the Version/Master name. I don't see a way to split the existing filename at the underscore, for example, so that portions of the original filename can be selectively replaced.
This is not about finding a workable naming scheme for Aperture and then renaming all existing files. I spend time on the PC side for various things and also work with a number of people who don't use Aperture but need access to my image library. I also have hundreds of references to existing filenames in various print and web design projects, as well as my Flickr account with 3000+ photos.
Going back and updating all that stuff is not going to happen. But using a System Service to rename files after every import is also pretty tedious.
Any solutions that meet the three criteria outlined above would be greatly appreciated.sempervirent,
You're asking for some pretty advanced file naming. Most people aren't going to need that sort of function, so I doubt there will be a hook into Aperture to do such a thing. I suggest using a shell script or Applescript along with EXIFTool to rename files before you import them into Aperture. http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/
Retain the unique number that the image already has
If you're not afraid of the command line, it's easy enough to use a tool like awk or maybe perl to parse that sequence number from a well-formatted string like the picture name
Replace "DSC" with the camera model (D3X)
You can use EXIFTool to extract the camera model from the EXIF dat ain the photos
Add a digit prior to the four-digit string to indicate the true numeric sequence of the file.
Good luck with this one. You'll have to do a filename search through all of your previous files to find out what 10,000 you're on. It's possible, but you'd have to do some specialized coding in AppleScript or shell script.

I'm not sure if this was a recent update in Mavericks, but when I used to delete items from iTunes it would ask something along the lines of:
Do you want to keep the original file or move to trash?
Now I no longer get this, instead iTunes asks:
Are you sure you want to delete the selected song from your iTunes library?
After which, if you choose the option "Delete Song", you get no option to keep the original file, it just straight up deletes if from my library and hard drive. Does anyone know if there is a way around this? For whatever reason, I want to be able to keep the original file on my Mac, without keeping it in my iTunes library.
I've tried resetting dialogue warning, and this hasn't made a difference.

Can I get back the original filename even though the file is missing
I imported 900 RAW images from my desktop into Lightroom, edited them, renamed the filename, and exported them into JPGs. Since I no longer needed the RAW images on my desktop I moved them over to an external hard drive. So now the images are still visible in my Lightroom catalog, but there is no photo to back it up since I moved the original files to the external hard drive. After realizing that I exported the images at 150 dpi instead of 300 dpi I need to re-export the images from lightroon at the proper resolution. But since I moved the originals to the external hard drive there is no photo to back it up in lightroom anymore. So I went to locate the files by clicking on the "?" but since I renamed the file when I exported them, the original filename on the external hard drive is now different from the filename in the catalog. Is the only solution to locate the file one by one? Is there any way I can do them all at once even though the original filename is different from the filename in my lightoom catalog? The original filename is still listed in the metadata, but since the originals are missing it can't change it back. Please help!
It sounds as though you moved the files and renamed them outside of Lightroom. Not a good idea. I'm not really going to answer the question about retrieving the files. But if your only concern is the resolution then I wouldn't concern myself about changing the images. That resolution setting really has no impact or effect of any kind on your images. It doesn't change the size, or the quality at all. If you have an image that is 2000x3000 pixels (for instance) it will be that same size regardless of what the resolution setting is. The only real value that setting has is to give another user an indication of the intent for the image. When you look at an image in Photoshop and look at the image size feature, Photoshop will tell you the dimensions of the image at that resolution, but that doesn't change anything about the image.

I spent ages renaming and sorting my holiday photos in correct order but when uploaded to print they reverted to the original name and order? How can I stop this happening?
When you "rename" a photo in iPhoto you're adding a Title to the shot, not renaming the file. This si quite standard metadata in photography, but it appars that it's getting lost in the upload/at Snapfish process.
You can use the Titles as filenames if you export using the File -> Export command. It's one of the options in the export dialogue. You can upload the exported items.

How do I keep the original pre-RAW preview exposure ?
IF I understand it when I imort a RAW "NEF file from my Nikon, LIghtroom shows a preview that is a jpeg exposre, something equivalent to a point and shoot photo. Then after processing the info from the RAW file, it shows the unprocessed image. Typically, this image for me becomes unsaturated and less colorful. Although I want to process "some" of my photos, I like some of the point and shoot images, and I'm wondering how do you keep the original exposiure that LIghtroom shows before showing the RAW unprocessed image?
When I'm taking photos just to archive a thing, I like the advanced point and shoot saturated image. When I want to be artistic, I prefer to process them myself. Is there a setting that will allow me to keep the preview look?natekon wrote:

Aside from what Lee Jay said (which is technically accurate) the best thing you can do is to learn how to quickly make image adjustments and if you find you are making the same adjustments all the time, create a preset or consider making a new Default tone/color adjustment for your images. The fact is that the EFIX JPEG is the camera maker's interpretation of the raw image. It's neither accurate nor sacrosanct. It's simply a different rendering of your raw data. You can look at using different DNG profiles (in the Camera Calibrate panel) to alter the color rendering and adjust your tone controls to taste and make a preset or a new Default.
But in answer to your main question can you use those JPEG previews as a basis for LR, no other than you make the manual adjustments yourself... -
Itunes can't play the file because the original file can not be found
There is many things wrong with that message and I don't know why.
I had around 30 songs off an album on my computer
I put the album on Itunes
I edited them and then they played fine
I put them on my ipod and then deleted them off coz i wanted to put something else on
but i found out I had more space to put the other 30 songs I had from before back on so I went to the album
when I wanted to play a song it said "Itunes Can't play the file because the original file can not be found"
1) The original file was on my computer, in the exact place where I left it last time when Itunes played it
2) I did not change the file path name
3) I did not change the folder path name
4) The songs aren't corrupted
5) They play fine on other programs
I deleted them all off and took them on again and they played fine but whey did they keep stuffing up before?The "missing file" thing happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then say no when asked to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions. I can provide a step by step guide if you give me the two paths.
In some cases iTunes may be able to repair itself if you go through the same steps and locate the lost track. It may then offer to attempt to automatically fix other broken links. Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes.

Import clips into FCP X version 10.0.8 and keep the original clip names
Can you Import clips into FCP X version 10.0.8 and keep the original clip names in the event original media folder? in version 10.0.8 it automatically allocates date / time of the event. I need it to keep the original clip name i:e Clip0100 event folder original media Clip0100. I am aware you can change the clip name to original once in FCP X, But it's the event folder original media name which I want to remain as the original file name.
Hi Tom,
Thanks for the response.
I am aware you can do this change in the Info inspector so the original clip name from camera is used in the event library browser, but it does not change the clip name in the Final Cut Events Original Mieda file. This still remains as an event clip name "2013-05-23 17_08_13". I need the original clip name Clip0100 to remain as Clip0100 at import. FCP X doesn't seem to allow this happen any more in version 10.0.8.
Cheers

Having trouble figuring out how to save the original photo after I've cropped it - i.e. I want to create a headshot of my husband from a photo of the two of us, but I also want to keep the original. Seems very basic, but can't seem to figure it out. Any help would be great!
Use File >> Save As
Choose a different file name so as not to overwrite the original and don't save any changes when closing the original. -
Some mail disappears from my inbox and I have discovered that if I have to answer or forward the original e-mail it disappears permanently and the original and the reply/forward e-mail all end up in my Sent box - which is emptied each month at the moment. Any ideas how to keep the original in my Inbox? Has only happened since updating to maverick.
where on my computer am I suppose to make the individual picture files and have them to upload on my ipod touch.... I do have a photo library on my computer, but in the photo tab in itunes for the ipod touch and there is nothing checked for syncing, cause when I do check it it always says its going to replace everything i have in my photo library on my ipod touch..... So how am i suppose to have it checked and have it NOT replace pictures on it????
Also I cannot make more photo albums into my ipod touch, it just replaces the one album every time....
I am very frustrated cause I have tried the manuals and the apple support help etc and nothing pertains to my exact issue.....
Please if u could elaberate I would appreciate it alot.....
thank u -
My husband and I use the same apple Id. We would like to each have our own apple id, but we do not want to lose all our information associated with the current id. One of us will keep the original. If one us creates a new apple id how will that affect the iPhone and iTunes?
That would be my suggestion. Just keep using the common one for purchases in the stores. Then each get another AppleID using a free gmail, AOL, hotmail, MS Live or whatever email account.
Delete your current iCloud account and login with the new AppleID, and logout of Messaging and then backin with the new AppleID. Now you have a shared iTunes/App store account, but completely separate, independent iCloud and iMessage accounts.
You can still share calendars if you wish to, even across separate accounts - http://support.apple.com/kb/ph2690 -
How to keep the original sequence of a map
I want the equivalent of a Hashtable or Map class (I need keys and corresponding objects) which, once fully populated, will guarantee to get the key/object pairs back out using the order in which they were added, rather than by sort order of the keys.
( The bigger objective is to compare two such collections, A and B, to see which key/object pairs exist in A but not B, and which exist in B but not A. However, for presentation purposes, I need to keep the original order in which everything was read.)
What's the most efficient way to do this ? I'm sure I've missed something really simplistic but, hey, it's Monday......There is no way to retrieve objects from any map in the order they were incerted unless you add some logic to the way you are incering it.
Here is an example of such logic, where I want to retrieve "states" in the same order as I put them:
public static void main(String[] args){
HashMap map = new HashMap();
map.put("1" + "PA", "Pensylvania");
map.put("2" + "NJ", "New Jersey");
map.put("3" + "CA", "California");
map.put("4" + "TX", "Texas");
LinkedList ls = new LinkedList(map.keySet());
Collections.sort(ls);
Iterator iter = ls.iterator();
String stAbbrv = null;
while (iter.hasNext()){
stAbbrv = (String)iter.next();
System.out.println(stAbbrv.substring(1) + " - " + map.get(stAbbrv));
}the output is:
PA - Pensylvania
NJ - New Jersey
CA - California
TX - TexasHope it helps
