Rename files in Ideas ?

Maybe i overlooked this, but since i started uploading my ideas files to creative cloud, they appear to be named untitled#.idea (# being the number).
And i don't find a way to change this on the regulare file manager...

Hi Franck,
Ideas currently does't have this functinality in the file manager. In the other Touch apps, such as Collage or PS Touch, you click (or touch) on the text bellow the file tumbnail and you can edit the name. The only way that you can change the file name in the application is by uploading the file to Creative.Adobe.com, and if it happens to be a duplicate, a message will apear that will ask you if you want to change the name of that duplicate file.
You can also change the name of your file on Creative.Adobe.com. This can be done by selecting the file you'd like to change in your "My Files" folder, and clicking on the title of the file. This will bring up a text edit field that allows you to change the name of your file.
Sorry that this doesn't completely answer your question. If you'd like to see this feature in future updates to the application, feel free to leave a suggestion in the Ideas section of the forum. You may find that other users will vote on this too, and our engineers check this out frequently for suggestions for improvement.
Hope this helps,
Tyler G.

Renaming files/folders on desktop: weird.

Hi
Since I have OSX Lion, and I want to rename files/folders on my desktop nothing happens.
Or at least not what is suppose to happen. Pressing enter in a finder window works perfect, like always.
But when I hit enter on a file or folder on my desktop it go's blank.
I can't see what i'm doing, but the name will change if I typ a new one. Quit confusing and realy difficult to work with. Any idea's how to fix this?

This has been driving me nuts but I accidentally found the cause...but not the solution. It is a Lion thing as spaces did not have this issue.
I am assuming you are using multiple screens (mission control, formerly spaces). If you go to screen 1 and try to rename the file you CAN see the name as you rename it. If you go to any other screen and try to rename it you get the blank space.
In my case I never rename files on my main screen. I always rename them on which ever screen I am working (word is screen 5, so docx saved to the desktop are renamed on screen 5).

Why can't I rename files?

I have a sub folder that when I click any file in it, the file name doesn't highlight so I can change it. If I go only one level out of the sub folder, there is no problem with renaming files.
If I copy any of these files to another folder, I can rename them.
I'm an admin on this machine. If I right click on any file in the sub folder, I have Read/Write access.
Any ideas what is preventing renaming these files?

Hi Th3r3ad3r,
Could you please attach a screenshot of the same, where only one icon is active even after selecting that file? You can refer http://www.imore.com/screenshot-ipad for taking the screenshot.

Bursting - Rename Files to current XML Data

Folks, many thanks for the poster who has allowed me to rename files. This is working correctly using the following snippet.
public void afterProcessDocument(int requestIndex, int documentIndex, Vector documentOutputs) {
String outFileName = (String)documentOutputs.get(0);
File newFile;
File oldFile = new File(outFileName);
newFile = new File(oldFile.getParent() + File.separator + "newfile" + oldFile.getName());
oldFile.renameTo(newFile);
documentOutputs.remove(0);
documentOutputs.add(0, newFile.getPath());
As you can see, its still somewhat "hard coded".
My question relates to the API. I would like to rename my files to say the "TRX_NUMBER" so I can then insert the bursted invoice as an attachment to the actual invoice in the system. I therefore need to be able to extract and match the current XML record for the bursting. There seems to be no way to do this using the published API. The Vector doesn't seems to hold it in the bursting listener - it only holds the renamed file.
This one might be for a BIP developer, we are using 5.6.2 under EBS, will 5.6.3 resolve this?

Very ambitious!
Here are ideas you may want to consider for your project:

I use hamcam everyday for my daily bicycle ride-weather station.
Perhaps, you want to limit daily still to 08:00AM-06:00PM and also have a daily time lapse, you can use Quicktime to do the time lapse footage.

Rename files using Enter key

Using the Enter key to rename files and folders works only with items in the desktop. Everywhere else I need to use Command+Enter. Any one experiencing this behavior? Any ideas on how to make it work as it should (only Enter needed)?

Thanks Bazsl,
Lua is the language chosen by Adobe for plugins. It's also the language used for some of Lightroom proper.
PS - In my opinion, Lua is a great little language, although the plugin environment is limited..

Netbeans is renaming files that it gets from the CVS (!)

Hi;
We have a file naming convention - looks something like this:
TaskDefinition_UM-DoStuff.xml
which is the file that contains the TD object:
UM - Do Stuff
I'm an Eclipse user, but one of our developers is using Netbeans. It appears that, when she brings up objects from CVS, Netbeans is renaming these objects!!!
In this case the object would be renamed to "UM - Do Stuff.xml"
Does anybody know if there is a setting to turn this off?
Imagine an IDE renaming files from CVS. Such madness!
-Bill

Ah, not so scary after all.
Netbeans will name a file downloaded from the server with the name of the object. We were inadvertantly downloading from the server when we thought we were getting files from the CVS.

Deal with missing / renamed files via COM interface

Hello,
I'm trying to find some way to programmatically identify missing files in iTunes, including where iTunes is looking for the file, and if possible to point iTunes to the correct path. It's very straightforward to detect missing files, the original path could probably be obtained by analysing the iTunes xml file, but I can find no programmatic way of telling iTunes where to look. Simply deleting the missing file and then adding a new file from the new location is not acceptable.
The reason for wanting to do this is very simple. I've a custom written backend music library management system that presents the library to iTunes as a set of .m4a files on a read only network share. From time to time, new files will appear, existing files will be updated or renamed, and files may be deleted. What I'd like to do is to write some simple vbscript that will keep iTunes in sync with this set of files.
Most of the functionality it easy. The difficulty comes with dealing with renamed files. I can identify missing files by looking for those with a null location. If I can then find out what the file was previously called, I can then quite readily determine what it will have been renamed to. At this point however, I can find no way to update iTunes. As previously mentioned, just removing and re-adding the file isn't acceptable, as it will then disappear from any devices synced with iTunes.
Does anyone have any clever ideas how to achieve this. The best idea I've come up with is to brute force the .itl file, and deal directly with that. I'd really rather not though, and it'll be a lot of effort, and may well spontaneously stop working. I'd also like to achieve the same effect of a mac platform, probably with Applescript, but am having basically the same issues.
Regards,
Chris
The reas

Christopher,
I, too, wish this could be done. Unfortunately it looks like Apple does not currently have this capability (i.e. the Location property is read-only). I've submitted an enhancement request for this feature (as I'm sure many others have), but this appears to be by design. It appears you have already figured out the only workaround I'm aware of -- adding the file again (and optionally copying the properties from the old file to the new one).
But by all means, please submit a bug report at http://bugreport.apple.com. Maybe if enough people gripe it will get implemented. You'll need an ADC account to submit a report via that link. If you don't have an ADC account already, you can get a free "ADC Online" account (or, of course, buy a higher-level account if you want).
If you don't want to get an ADC account, you can use the Apple feedback page (http://www.apple.com/feedback) -- but I think you'll get a better response as a developer via the bugreport site.
BTW, if you find good documentation on the iTunes Library file, I'd like to see it! I can't find any anywhere. Of course, if you figure it out and you don't want to share that's up to you...

Rename files or folders in Windows 8 not working

Rename a file or folder on a Windows CE device is not working from Windows 8 when connected through Windows Mobile Device Center.
From Windows 7 it worked just fine!
This has been a problem for a very long time now, and im not alone according to all forums.
But no fix as far as i can find!
Is there anyone that have found a fix on this?

http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-files/windows-8-unable-to-rename-files-on-pocket-pc/abae21b7-7ee1-41c7-853e-1ac7ea5b0413
It seems a issue in window 8.x system. Maybe you can ask for a MS support ticket.

Sharepoint 2013 ItemAdded event receiver for renaming files is not working

In SP 2013 I coded an event receiver that intercepts the ItemAdded event and it just renames the file.
It is a synchronous event (I added <Synchronization>Synchronous</Synchronization> in the Elements.xml).
This is the code:
        public override void ItemAdded(SPItemEventProperties properties)
            SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
                try
                    OutputDebugStringA("Inside ItemAdded");
                    string szHttpUrl = properties.WebUrl + "/" + properties.AfterUrl;
                    SPWeb openedWeb = properties.Web.Site.OpenWeb(properties.Web.ID);
                    SPFile spf = openedWeb.GetFile(szHttpUrl);
                    EventFiringEnabled = false;
                    string szUrl = properties.AfterUrl;
                    szUrl = szUrl + ".renamed";
                    string szNewFileName;
                    if (szUrl.LastIndexOf('\\') != -1) szNewFileName = szUrl.Substring(szUrl.LastIndexOf('\\') + 1);
                    else if (szUrl.LastIndexOf('/') != -1) szNewFileName = szUrl.Substring(szUrl.LastIndexOf('/') + 1);
                    else szNewFileName = szUrl;
                    if (properties.ListItem != null)
                        properties.ListItem["Title"] = szNewFileName;
                        properties.ListItem.Update();
                    spf.MoveTo(szUrl);
                    EventFiringEnabled = true;
                    base.ItemAdded(properties);
                    OutputDebugStringA("Renaming to " + szUrl);
                catch (System.Exception exception)
                    OutputDebugStringA("ItemAdded ERROR: " + exception.ToString());
The problem is that when I upload a .txt file using Internet Explorer, just after the renaming is done, IE says that something went wrong and when I inspect the log files I see:

So it is clear that the fact that I renamed the file is causing an issue in the SharePoint upload logic.
As a solution what I did was to not declare it as Synchronous, but if I do it then there is another error when Sharepoint shows the Edit Properties dialog... in this case the upload is OK but when it is time to show that Edit Property dialog IE fails and
says that the file has been already modified, or that "something went wrong".
If I use a synchronous event I get one problem. If I use the asynchronous event I get another problem... It's very frustating and I am pretty sure that a so important API like Event Receivers should have support renaming files so I hope someone can tell
me what I am doing wrong.
Thanks in advance

May be you want to consider using the following code and see if it works for you.

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"

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...

Deleting & renaming files - is there a shortcut to finder?

I am a recent convert from PC to Mac. So far so good. However, one thing starts to drive me up the wall which is deleting/renaming files in programs such as photoshop, word, excel etc.etc.
As far as I can tell, this is only possible in the finder menu. Is this Correct? I am using a lot of folders and subfolders - sometimes 3-4 levels deep. Every time I need to change/delete a file or filename - lets say while in photoshop, I have to go to finder and click my way through several levels of folders to the actual file I need to change. This is somewhat annoying and timeconsuming.
Question 1: is there a way to do these operations in - lets say photoshop directly?
Question 2: If not, is there a shortcut key that would point me automatically to the file in finder where I can make the changes?
Your input would be very helpful and save me some aggravation.

Hi Greg,
Thanks for your input. You are correct as far as "save" and "save as" is concerned. Windows and Mac work the same way.
However, as far as I can tell, in Mac you can only "delete" or "rename" a file in "finder" which forces you to open up finder and locate the file in order to delete or change it.
In windows you can do these 2 functions directly in the program (such as photoshop, excel or words). You do not have to go to "explorer or root directory" to make these changes which I believe would be the equivalent of "finder".
In any case, Terence solved the problem. By command clicking the name (title) of the file in any program, it opens up the directory in "finder". This way makes it easy to select the file and do the changes.

How to open renamed files?

Hi
I rename selected files and after that want to open them.
For my purpose renaming works well like this:
tell application "Finder"
set FilesToRENAME to selection
display dialog "Change what?" default answer ""
set ChangeFROM to text returned of the result
display dialog "Change to?" default answer ""
set ChangeTO to text returned of the result
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {ChangeFROM}
set theCount to count of FilesToRENAME
repeat with x from 1 to theCount
try
set theName to name of item x of FilesToRENAME
set FirstNamePart to first text item of theName
set LastNamePart to second text item of theName
set newName to FirstNamePart & ChangeTO & LastNamePart
set name of item x of FilesToRENAME to newName
on error errStr number theNumber
activate
display dialog "Error in changing the Name " & theNumber & return & errStr ¬
& return & "Step " & x
end try
end repeat
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ""
end tell
Now newly renamed files don't belong anymore to FilesToRENAME. So how to point to those files now (how to make a new list from those renamed files)? I was thinking to get a path to each file inside the repeat loop and replace the name, but couldn't do it.
Thank you for any help.
Vera

Pierre's method is pretty clever, but if you don't happen to be using a Finder selection (choose file for example), you can also use the interesting fact that an alias keeps track of an item even if it is moved or renamed.
<pre style="

set filesToRename to (choose file with multiple selections allowed)
set changeFrom to text returned of (display dialog "Change what?" default answer "")
set changeTo to text returned of (display dialog "Change to?" default answer "")
set renamedFiles to {} -- this will be the renamed files
repeat with aFile in filesToRename
set aFile to the contents of aFile
tell application "Finder" to set theName to name of aFile
try
set tempTID to AppleScript's text item delimiters
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {changeFrom}
set firstNamePart to first text item of theName
set lastNamePart to second text item of theName
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to tempTID
set newName to firstNamePart & changeTo & lastNamePart
tell application "Finder"
set name of aFile to newName -- aFile points to the original file
update aFile -- give Finder a chance to catch up
set the end of renamedFiles to aFile -- aFile now points to the renamed file
end tell
on error errStr number theNumber
activate me
display alert "Error " & theNumber & " in changing the Name" message errStr
end try
end repeat
renamedFiles --> aliases to the renamed files

FM to rename   files in ABAP

Hi..I am pretty new to the world of ABAP.
I have the following task.
I need to right a function module that will be responsible for renaming files on the R/3 system (to a certain predefined format). Basically, I am thinking that FM will import/accept an old file name (incl path) as a parameter, and then FM will take care of actually renaming the file and returning the name of the new filename.
Since I am very new to all the ABAP, can any of you give me some pointers, or maybe some sample code if anybody done something similar?
All the help is appreciated.
thank you

Are you talking about files on the application server. If so, you will need to copy them into the new name and delete the old one. Here is a sample program.
report zrich_0001.
parameters: d1 type localfile default '/usr/sap/TST/SYS/Data1.txt',
            d2 type localfile default '/usr/sap/TST/SYS/Data2.txt'.
data: begin of itab occurs 0,
      rec(20) type c,
      end of itab.
data: wa(20) type c.
start-of-selection.
* open and read file 1 into an internal table
open dataset d1 for input in text mode.
if sy-subrc = 0.
    do.
      read dataset d1 into wa.
      if sy-subrc <> 0.
        exit.
      endif.
      itab-rec = wa.
      append itab.
    enddo.
endif.
close dataset d1.
* Open file 2 and copy the contents to this file
open dataset d2 for output in text mode.
loop at itab.
    transfer itab to d2.
endloop.
close dataset d2.
* Delete file 1
delete dataset d1.

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.
