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.

  • 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

    You can use SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE. This function is used to execute operating system command and can be used to rename a operating system file. For example you can use "mv" on UNIX or "REN" on Windows systems.

  • 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.

  • Why does photoshop automatically rename file names when using save for web?

    All of a sudden when choosing Save for Web, when i type in a name for my file in the File Name: dialog box, when you click "save", it saves the selected slices as the name of the document and not what i typed.
    For example: My psd file is called "website header" and i want to save the slices with the name "index". If i save slice-02 or slice-06 it will save as "index_02.jpg" but if i choose slice 01, it will save as "website-header_01"

    Check your settings in the SfW output options and yopur slice names in PS itself.

  • OSX renaming files names with number/letter suffixes

    I have some Quark files that are constantly being updated. Sometimes when I close and save the file, it renames it something like filename_f#CB70C.qxd (original name: filenameversionmonth, etc.), replacing my name with this gibberish! I have tried shortening the filenames and it still does this, but it's intermittent. I am working off of a server in an office, where a few people share the same files. I will rename it again and when I look in the window, it has snapped back to the gibberish name.
    Any ideas?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    I doubt whether OS X is doing this. Since it apparently happens with only one applicatication it may be a requirement of the application. (I don't know that; just a guess). I suggest that you try Repairing Disk Permissions, and see if it is a permissions issue.
    Good luck.

  • Get renamed file new name

    Hello all. What I'm wanting to do is rename a file and then do some things with the new file name.
    1. I want to view the new file name with the full path
    2. I want to output the new file name with the full path to a text file or csv file
    Here is what I have for outputting the renamed file into a text file, but it isn't working:
    cls
    $resultsfile = "C:\results3.txt"
    clear-content $resultsfile
    foreach($item in gc C:\RENAME.txt){
    Rename-Item $item "1.txt" | out-file $resultsfile -append
    notepad $resultsfile
    Any thoughts on how to work with the newly renamed file name?

    Yes, sorry I forgot to mention that I'm trying to delete a bunch of files whose names are too long. So what I 'm trying to do is to rename the files first with "1.txt" and then I'm going to delete them. I just had a "forehead-slap" moment where I realized
    I could just pipe the "rename-item" into "remove-item" and that should accomplish my goals.
    But, as for my original question, if I rename a file, how can i view/use the renamed file name? Like if I renamed a file, how could I output the newly renamed file name to a text file? I tried this in my original code above, but it didn't work. Let's just
    assume that I have a single file that I want to rename to "1.txt"

  • How can I get iTUNES library to display renamed files and folders (renamed with Windows Explorer)?

    How can I get iTunes library to display the new names and organisation of tracks and albums (ie files and folders) that I have renamed and reorganised (using Windows Explorer) having previously imported them using iTunes?
    (Even when I relocate "lost" tracks in iTunes (using the drop down menu facility to view in Windows explorer), although iTunes will then play the track, and knows where to find it, it refuses to display the track with its correct (new) name, or show it the correct (new) album.  That means I have lots of things called "Untitled" and "Track 01" etc, all of which have actually been renamed, but iTunes does not seem to have the capability to recognise the changes and update its library listing.  Another example - a Tchaikovsky CD with 3 major works in 13 tracks insists on displaying in iTunes as 13 tracks in one album, despite the fact that I have reorganised the tracks into 3 albums - two being Swan Lake and The Nutcracker - and renamed the individual tracks to a more useable format.)

    Thanks for your replies ckuan
    I agree with Tgod that your first solution does not work.  It appears unpredictable whether the old or new file names are listed when you drag the folders into iTunes from Windows Explorer.  The folder structure is completely missing.  I reckon if you have to muck around spending days/weeks/months finding out how to fix links to a secret meta-file (obviously designed by some deep-cover microsoft worm working in the Apple!), then it's pretty obvious that almost any alternate way of doing this would be better.   Bye bye iTunes!!
    Incidentally, I tried several other things that (if the software was designed intuitively) should work, but give disastrous results:
    1) when deleting the library listing in iTunes, it gives you two options - one is to remove the listings to the Recycler.  Be aware that IF you select that option, it removes not only your library listing, but also your ACTUAL MUSIC FILES to the Recycler.  Moreover, it does NOT remove the insidious secret meta-file that is what apparently keeps rewriting old names over your carefully renamed file names, and keeps totally ignoring your carefully designed folder (album) structure.  OK - not a complete disaster, as I realised and went hunting through the chaos in the Recycler to recover all my files.  No thanks to the genius who designed this brilliant feature!
    2) after deleting the library listing in iTunes, I attempted to import just the folders that I wanted.  iTunes refused to allow me to do that, and proceeded to try to import every frigging music file it could find on my whole hard drive, in apparently random fashion into the library.  Whoever thought up that doozy either never ever tried to use or market test it, or has modified their mind rather too many times with artificial substances so their brain is like muesli chop suey.
    3) oh why go on, it's too depressing ...

  • Photostream for Windows keeps changing image file names

    Hi, I have iCloud and the Photo Stream application installed on my Windows Vista PC. I have just returned from a trip abroad and took photos on both my iPhone 4 (updated with iOS6) and a separate digital camera. Having taken thousands of photos, I've managed to combine the two collections of photos into one and renamed them in sequence i.e. USA(1), USA(2), USA(3) etc. I want to be able to convert this completed photo collection into a Photostream to share with others on their iPhones and iPads respectively.
    I know Shared Photostreams are limited to 1,000 photos each, however when I create and add the new collection of photos to a new Photostream album, it chooses to rename the files and display them out of the desired order. The file names are usually something like 'IMG_00605' and while some are in the correct order and placed next to one another, others are not. Despite playing with the display settings, i.e. Sort By>Name, Date Taken, Tags etc I still cannot get the photos to display in the order I set out in the first place. As you can imagine this is incredibly frustrating, having painstakingly gone through all my photos to ensure they were ordered and renamed sequentially.
    Does anybody know how I can rectify this and display my photos in the order I want them to? Any suggestions would be greatly received.
    Thanks very much in advance,
    James

    In Firefox Options / Privacy be sure "Remember download history" is checked. To see all of the options on that panel, "Firefox will" must be set to "Use custom settings for history".

  • How can I hide file names in a photostream?

    How can I hide file names in a shared photo stream on icloud.  I don't want people to see how many pictures I take at an event.  Can this be done to pictures already posted?

    The Shared Photo Stream uses the filename of the original image file as the title that is shown in the stream.  If you want to hide the original filename, export the image to a folder in the Finder, rename it, then reimport it to share it.  You can rename the files directly when exporting.
    Or, if you do not mind to change the names of the originals in Aperture use the command "Metadata > Batch change" and change the title of the image, with the option "Apply to Original file" enabled and "Add metadata from" set to "None".
    To rename the photos already shared, delete them from the Shared Album and share them again.

  • Automator script search document for file name, and rename file to date

    Hi all,
    I'm having a hard time with Automator... and I can't figure out how it's done!
    Searched the web for it a couple of times, spend hours with Automator already, but I guess my need is random!
    The thing is:
    I got a folder with 1066 files, all the files has random names.....
    I got a document (now it's html, but can convert it to PDF or txt or so ever....) with the coressponding random file names in the html.... some words before that there is the date the photo was taken in this format: 08/25/11
    Now I want somehow make automator search that folder each filename... match it in the document with the filename, and rename the files in the folder to the date the photo's were taken.... and that for all 1066 files.....
    anybody a great idea? Some help? I'm a real newby at Automator scrips!
    thanks

    Have you considered A Better Finder Rename 9?
    A Better Finder Rename 9: The Batch File Renamer for Mac OS X
    Otherwise, what you propose seems to be rather like carving the Pieta using a plastic butter knife. But, if you want, here's one example of a rough algorithm to start ...
    * translate the HTML to ASCII text in this format:  filename (date)
    * read one line at a time from the ASCII file
    * for each line, search the folder for the file
    * rename the file according to the (date)
    BTW, you might avoid a strict renaming according to just the date.
    Best luck with this project.
