Question about renaming file names

After spending many hours organizing my iphoto library, deleting duplicates, etc, it is now where I want it. So I have two questions.
1. Is there a downside to updating all the file names to the Event Name as long as this is done in iphoto? (I was thinking this might be helpful in case anything gets jumbled in the future)
2. If it is advisable to do #1, is there a way to do this to the whole library in bulk or do I need to do it event by event?
Many thanks for any advice.

It is not possible - you can not change file names in iPhoto - you can add titles and when you export use the title for the file name - but file names within the iPhoto library will always remain as they were originally imported
Old toad uses image capture to bring photos to his hard drive and then uses a third party package to batch rename them to the proposed event name in a p=folder with that event name - then if you drag that folder to the open iPhoto window it creates an event with the folder name and the file names are what you set

  • Question about pass file name and path to file write adapter

    I need to pass file name and path to file adapter for write. I got partial answers from thread Re: Get File name using File Adapter , but seems InboundHeader_msg or outboundHeader_msg only takes file name, how do I pass file directory?
    since I still have to specify file format (like xxx_%xx%.txt) in the file adapter wizard. Will this name conflict with what the name defined in InboundHeader_msg ?
    Similarly, how can I pass a file name and path to a file synchread adapter?
    Thanks,

  • Question about different file name send to different receivers?

    Hi, Gurus,
    my senario:
    in ftp server there are many files, which are either .doc or .xls. 
    All .doc must be sent to e-mail address departmentA(a)companyname.com.
    All .xls must be sent to departmentB(a)companyname.com.
    I use Mail Package and keep attachment, without ASMA.
    In Mapping I create UDF as below:
    DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration)container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
    DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http:/"+"/sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
    DynamicConfigurationKey key1 = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http:/"+"/sap.com/xi/XI/System/Mail","THeaderTo");
    String ourSourceFileName = conf.get(key);
    String ourMailTo = "";
    if (ourSourceFileName.equals("*.doc"))  {
           conf.put(key1,"departmentA(a)companyname.com");  }
    else  {        conf.put(key1,"departmentB(a)companyname.com");  }
    return ourSourceFileName;
    But i got error message from integration engine:

    I have a Tecra M2 and rely on your email update to ensure I have the latest drivers on my machine.
    When I received a Toshiba support email on 14 April 2005 giving reference to a QFE from Microsoft I assumed it would be necessary for my Tecra.
    I was very confused when I found that this QFE and subsequent ones posted on the 16 April 2005 relate to Pre SP2 critical updates no9t required if one has already taken earlier advice of updating to Service Pack, at the very least your narrative should make mention of this. I find it very difficult to believe that your updates are two+ years out of date.

  • Question about openning files using SDK 10.

    I have written a Plug-In for SDK 9 that works wonderfully. One of the functions is for the user to be able to page (Next/Previous) between PDF files on our server. This functionality now longer works without crashing Acrobat 10. All I am doing is creating the URL path to the next/previous PDF, creating a CustomFileSys with the path and calling AVDocOpenFromFile.
    Does this no longer work with Acrobat 10 SDK?
    Thanks!

    Should work fine, AFAIK.
    For this level of issue, I would open a formal support request with developer support.

  • Questions about properties files

    Hello,
    I have two questions about properties files.
    1. Is it possible to import a properties file from another properties file?
    2. Is it possible to have variables in a properties file as described below in code snippet.
    Thanks in advance,
    Julien.
    Code snippet:
    var_one=foo
    var_two=$var_one bar
    The second line would then read "foo bar"

    Hello,
    I have two questions about properties files.
    1. Is it possible to import a properties file from
    another properties file?If you write your own code to parse whatever import statement you decide to put in the properties file, yes. But there's no provision to do so in the core APIs or in the standard usage of these files.
    2. Is it possible to have variables in a properties
    file as described below in code snippet.Same as the answer to your first question. Though this kind of thing is more common, so there might be a library at jakarta or sourceforge or mindprod or something that does this.

  • Question about Finder file listing order when sorting by "Name"

    I quite often add a suffix to some of my file names when I save them so that I can keep a complete history of changes. For example, I usually add "_000" at the end, and progress to "_001" through "_009". However after "_009" I don't increase the next digit to "_010" but instead, after "_009" comes "_00A" then "_00B" on to "_00Z" and then to "_010". I have been doing this for a while now (several years) and it has worked well for me.
    I have noticed in the finder window, when in "List" view a file ending in "_00A" is listed lexicographically before a file ending in "009" instead of the other way around.
    I think that this is due to my UNIX Locale being set to LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
    1. Is this a correct assumption?
    I would like it to be listed in POSIX order.
    2. Is there a way I can make just specific folders list file names in POSIX order?
    I was thinking of changing my Language to POSIX using the terminal command:
    $ export LANG=POSIX
    but this may have undesirable effects with the rest of Mac OS X.
    3. Is there a finder preference (plist item) I can change so this just changes the listing order to POSIX? (I have no problem if all Finder windows use this sort order for file names.)
    Thank you in advance.
    Jeff Cameron

    I don't know of a GUI way to change it or if you unix trick will work/do anything, but the Mac OS has always sorted that way, if I'm understanding you correctly. It looks at the entirety of the naming and puts 2 immediately after 1 instead of putting 10 there like Windows does (and Alpha comes before numeric).
    I don't think the unix underpinnings changed sort order, but I may be remembering wrong. It's been a long time since OS 9. That's why I don't think the LANG switch will work.

  • Question about ear file and jar file

    I have an ear file that I built using ant. Say my project name is test. So my ear file name is test.ear. Everytime I try to deploy the ear file, weblogic complains about not finding the test-ejb.jar. I'm confused as to why weblogic expects a test-ejb.jar in the ear because I didn't intend to put one in. My question is whats inside the ear file that weblogic thinks it needs the test-ejb.jar? I went through the file, but couldn't find anything that should tell weblogic that it should find a test-ejb.jar. In addition, I don't have either weblogic-ejb-jar.xml or ejb-jar.xml in the ear file. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    An EAR should have an "application.xml" in the META-INF directory within the JAR. You might take a look at it. I suspect there is an EJB module specified by that name.

  • Change link properties (Rename file name)

    Hi All,
    As usual, I am new to Acrobat Scripting, but I have a good knowledge in InDesign Scripting.
    I have project about changing the link attribute.
    What i want to do is, I have a book along with chapters, Now i want to rename all the chapter names. If i rename the file name then i want to change the pdf link also. The following code will work almost, but onething i want to rectify.
    var numLinks=0;
    var desFile='D:\\1.pdf';
    var b = this.getPageBox("Crop", 0);
    var l = this.getLinks(0, b);
    l[0].setAction("app.openDoc('" + desFile + "')", this);
    If you run this code using javascript, you get a link but the property is set as javascript. Here i want to set as open a file.
    If you know the solution, please reply.
    Sudar.

    Have you looked at the 'addLInk()' method in the Acrobat JS API?
    You could also look at using 'theGetURL()' or 'launchURL()' methods.

  • IMovie - quick questions about video files when importing and optimizing

    Hi, have some quick questions. I think they are simple.
    1. When I import a video (from say iPhoto), where does it get "Move" or "Copy" to?
    2. Why would I want to do "Copy" instead of "Move", because isn't it then taking up more space?
    3. I'm wondering if after I optimize a video, I can stash away the original (non-optimized video that I either "Move"d or "Copy"d earlier) into an external hd.
    4. By the way, what is the new file name of the optimized video?
    Though things are working fine in iMovie and iPhoto, I'm trying to manage hard disk space, and hope answers to these questions will help.
    Do you guys have a guideline on how to manage hard disk space when it comes to iphoto and imovie?
    Thanks.

    As has been suggested you can encourage people to download QuickTime player by doing something like this...
    http://www.mirroroftheuniverse.com/Songs.html
    You can also present your songs like this...
    http://roddymckay.com/Satellite/JukeBox.html
    This is a SnoCap jukebox and you need an account to use it but you'll get the link to ESnips on the above page.
    A 3 minute song has a file size of about 30 Mb in AIFF format. Converting it to MP3 reduces it to about 3.5 Mb and M4A to about 5.5 Mb.
    iTunes will do these conversions for you and M4A is far superior to MP3 as far as sound quality is concerned.

  • Rename file name in photostream

    question: how do i rename an image within photostream?
    note distinction: file name vs photo title.
    evidently photostream displays file name.
    hence, if you have gone to the trouble of renaming a photo title in photoshop and then created a photostream expecting titles to appear as you'd wish (for friends/family to see), then you're out of luck.

    since everyone sharing using PhotoStream must be using the same Apple ID
    this is no longer the case.
    for shared PhotoStreams you would use the Comments field to describe the photo
    no. you would use comments field for comments. the title field is meant for title/filename.
    or change the file name prior to importing the photo to iPhoto
    complete waste of time.
    only thing worse than that is exporting and reimporting which creates duplicates, clutter, and filekeeping menace.

  • Rename file name & format using ftp sender

    Hi all,
    This is regarding the renaming of file at sender file(FTP) communication channel and placeing the same file in the same folder.
    At FTP server at sender side (i.e.clients place) is in .txt format.But now .txt file has to rename and change into .sav foramt with below required name convention of file.
    client format is  :  SAP_Order.txt (Pervious file name).
    We need to change the file in to "SAP_Order_yyyymmddThhmmss.sav" format..
    How can i achieve this requirement?
    Can please suggests me solutions ASAP.
    Best Regards,
    satya,

    Hi,
       if your requirement is to pick the  existing file in the FTP folder...and send as idoc to the target and place the renamed file to FTP folder...
    then its simple...
    use two receivers instead of one , one for point to target and other for sender itself... (second receiver  is for  changing  the file name format....)
    Hope the above understanding is correct...if not provide more details of your requirement...

  • Can't rename file name under Finder even as an administrator.

    As an adminstrator to my MacBook Pro, why can't I rename certain file name  under Finder?

    Have you tried running lsof from the Terminal?
    Lsof will show you any files that are open, the likelihood is that your file is in use.

    In my MM, the input values to these variables (var1, var2 and var3) are (<ZZCOMBI>array,G499999,END_FIFC0029) ,
    var1 is an array of input <ZZCOMBI> item list;
    var2 is get from a property file by call another UDF;
    var3 is constant value.
    the test input data :
    I send the data for the first time:
    - <rfc:Z_IFCFR821_ZIFCTT82100010 xmlns:rfc="urn:sap-com:document:sap:rfc:functions">

    </item>
    </T_ZIFCTS82100010>
    </rfc:Z_IFCFR821_ZIFCTT82100010>
    so the input values to these variables (var1, var2 and var3) are (G000002G000002,G499999,END_FIFC0029)
    the output file name(File1) :END_FIFC002920090413-171534-053.dat
    output record: G000002G000002
    because the data what I send is the last record, the system send the dummy data for the second time by program.
    - <rfc:Z_IFCFR821_ZIFCTT82100010 xmlns:rfc="urn:sap-com:document:sap:rfc:functions">

    so the input values to these variables (var1, var2 and var3) are (G499999,G499999,END_FIFC0029)
    the output file name(File2) :END_FIFC002920090413-171533-928.dat
    output record: G499999
    I find that File2(20090413-171533-928) was ouput before File1(20090413-171534-053 ) from the time stamp.
