Renaming, but keeping original file numbers problem

It appears that when I edit RAW files from lightroom in photoshop, upon saving it adds "edit" to the filename AFTER the original file number. Since what comes back from photoshop is a PSD file instead of a RAW file it's pretty obvious that I've edited the image, so the change just becomes an annoying addition to the file name -- that is, until I go to export the images in other formats.
When exporting, I tell Lightroom to rename my files, but keep the original file number. Since the original file number now has "edit" behind it on any of the psd files, Lightroom wipes out the file name and starts numbering them numerically.
This makes it difficult from an organizational standpoint, since I use the original file number as part of my database management.
Anybody know how to stop the "edit" intrusion in the filename, and if that will indeed fix the file numbering issue?
Thanks,
Drew

Thanks!
I'm curious though -- why does it seem like a bad practice from a DAM standpoint?
Quite often my files are saved as RAW, PSD's, Tiffs, and Jpegs -- the last two going to my clients. If they need something changed on the file sometime down the road, it's very easy to find my way back to the PSD or RAW file to make the fix if they share a file number.

Keep Original Position Numbers in Purchase Order Creation

Hi community, i'm trying to solve the following problem in purchase order creation using BAPI_PO_CREATE1:
I'm loading a file with several order numbers and positions to be created in R/3. This file has a structure similar to:
OrderNumber;PositionNumber;Material;Quantity;Unit;.......
The purchase order is created successfully, but i need to keep original position numbers in the order. i.e:
Supposing this input file:
1900;08;993322;10.00;KG.....
1900;13;994455;12.00;KG.....
the positions in purchase order are created as
00010
00020
But i need positions to be created as:
00008
00013
Any ideas?????
Thanks you for your cooperation
Leonardo

Hi Leonardo,
I doubt if that is possible.
You can have the configuration set up to set the Item Number Interval to step size like 5,10,15 etc,
based on this value, your line item number will be
5,10,15,20...
10,20,30,40..
15,30,45,60
etc.
to set this value, you should go to SPRO.
Material Management->Purchase Order->Define Document Types

How do I duplicate a photo in iPhone 5 so I can edit the copy but keep original?

How do I duplicate a photo in iPhone 5 so I can edit the copy but keep original?
I see where it lets me click "Copy" but where in my library do I paste the copy?
Thanks!

This is rather interesting...
I could sweat that in iOS 6. When you click Save it gave you the option to keep a copy of original or just save the new picture in replace of the old.
Now what it does, it saves the "edit" in the file. But when you go to make another change, you can see the original picture still.
At least I did when I cropped it.

We are having problems with the forum software (I can't see any new thread), so you are very lucky if somebody reads your question. Personally, the forum are near unusable for me now.
Respecting to that question, you want to delete everything but leave Office. Is this correct? If so, you will have to contact with Microsoft to see if it's legal to sell your Mac with Office installed > http://www.microsoft.com/mac/support I would not sell the Mac with Office installed.
To delete everything, you will have to erase the drive and reinstall OS X. Normally, you should turn off the Mac after reinstalling OS X, but in this case, the new owner won't have Office. On the contrary, if you install Office, the owner will have to use the Mac with your settings, so there will be other steps to follow

Keeping Original Files

What's the general guidelines for keeping original files after completing a project? Do most of you discard them, or keep them?
Being as I'm not a very efficient shooter, I sometimes have a couple minutes of video for just ten seconds of needed footage. Those files take up a lot of space. Any recommendations appreciated.
Thank you. Stan

Thanks for the kind words.
That is just my scheme, and much of it is predicated on the need to migrate entire Projects between multiple computers.
Were I ONLY working on the workstation, I would possibly do things a bit differently, to get more performance:
C:\ OS and programs w/ possibly the Page File
D:\ RAID0 Project root folder w/ Copies of media under it
E:\ Project in Project root folder
F:\ RAID0 Scratch Disks in Project root folder, including Render Files
G:\ RAID0 Export/Share files to Project root folder
So long as the RAID drives are managed by a dedicated hardware card, things should fly. If the RAID is managed by software, or even hardware on the MoBo, there is not nearly so great a performance increase - though there will be some.
That would mean that when I am finished, I would need to go to four separate HDD's, but would only need to Delete the Project root folder from each. My media Asset originals would stay on my NAS, out of the way.
Good luck,
Hunt

When e mail a photo from my mac in i photo and receiving on the i pad the photo appears the same as the other ones i send but the jpg file numbers are the same

I have one album named "iPad". I don't recall how it got there, where it is there by default or if I created it. Nothing in this album shows a trash can in either full or thumbnail view - I can only edit or share or add to.
In full view mode, when I click on "edit" the upper left shows "cancel". The other greyed out options next to "cancel" are "undo" and "revert to original". The bottom shows the usual photo editing tools, but no "edit". Most of the other pictures show the trash can, which is located on the bottom right corner in camera roll in full view mode. In thumbnail mode when I click "select" on the upper right corner and choose a photo the trash can appears on the upper left corner". This all seems normal. However, the "iPad" album behaves different.

I renamed songs in playlist but the original files aren't renamed. How can I sort out the originals?

I could really use some help. I'm trying to record an audio book of my second novel. I had about 300 audio tracks from recording the book in iTunes. I put them all in a playlist. Then I went through and delected the tracks that were no good from the Playlist and renamed the others so they were properly sorted by page number.
Unfortunately, I did not realize that 1) renaming tracks in a Playlist does not rename the actual original tracks, and 2) when I click "Show in Windows Explorer" not only is it the original file names, but they are mixed in with all the other tracks that I had deleted from the playlist.
Is there any way for me to isolate the tracks that are in the Playlist? I need to pull all those tracks out so I can import them into a music editing software program. I'm worried that all my time was wasted renaming the songs and now I can't figure out any way to group those tracks to import into another program.
Any advice would be much appreciated!
Thank you.

When you look at your iPhone, are you looking in the Music app or in the iTunes app? Be sure you are looking in the Music app, and look in the Songs category. If your songs are not here, you may want to try syncing your information again through iTunes. To do this, uncheck "Sync Music" and then click apply or sync in the bottom right corner of iTunes, and then recheck "Sync Music" and then click apply or sync again.
I hope this helps!

Tethering in Lightroom with MK III - Can't keep original file names

Hello,
I am shooting a Canon Mark III to Lightroom 3.3 with RAW 6.3 on OS 10.5.8. All I want to do is insert custom text in front of the original file name from the camera. I cannot even seem to get Lightroom to allow the images to maintain the naming from the camera. The options "filename", "original file number" and "sequence" all rename the files in accordance with Lightroom preferences. I want to keep the naming from the camera and simply add custom text in addition to it. I would be pleased to even learn if Lightroom can accept the name from the camera as it does not seem able to do so. No matter what I select, input, or leave out, Lightroom seems to rename the file in some way or another.
The problem with most of the naming conventions in Lightroom is that the numbers seem to reset when the camera gets turned off. "Sequence" is the only setting that maintains a consistent and ascending count even if the camera is turned off then back on but it still doesn't reflect the camera settings which most photographers prefer to leave on continuous. While this affords a temporary solution, it does not fix the issue that we would prefer to see the original filename and number that the camera puts out. I have tested all the filename settings in Lightroom (including inputting nothing) and can't seem to get the actual original camera written filename to show up. PLEASE HELP!
It is hard to imagine that any software this powerful, especially from Adobe, could overlook and fail to execute something so crucial and basic as simply not overwriting the file info from the camera.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Hello,
original file name is only stored in the lightroom catalog file. This means, the original filename is stored in your LR4 catalog! After you upgraded to LR5 you simply have to open the LR4 catalog and LR5 will convert the catalog into an LR5 catalog.
I hope, you still have an LR4 catalog backup (before you removed all images)? Otherwise original file name is lost.

Converted to PDF how do I keep original File name??

Hi
I've set up a automator action to compress my Microsoft Word Document to PDF and "mail file". How do i keep the original Word document filename that i originally saved as, rather that the "Microsoft Word Document.doc" as it appears in the new email message
Thanks for any help
Jonathan

It is a problem with Microsoft Word. When it sends a print job, it names it "Microsoft Word Document," instead of something useful, like the document name. Since there is no way to capture the name of the original file when you print from the PDF Services menu, I don't see a way to code it.
A workaround is to add a "Rename Finder Items" action between the compress and Mail actions. Set it to rename a single item and show the action at runtime. You can then type in a name you want.
I had started working on a method to get the name of the document, but realized the problem that I stated above. Since you are "Printing" from the PDF Services, you don't know the actual document name as Microsoft has "hidden" it.

Any way to keep original file name as image name for web gallery?

Hi,
I wonder if there is any way to keep the original file name as image name for a web gallery (instead of "picture-1.jpg)
People often send us the thumbnails or the image from the web and we have to search forever to find the image in AP - if we could keep our original filename then this would be a second away.
Hope somebody has an idea
thanks

Hi William,
I finally had time to play - unfortunately it does
not work the way you described above.
I´m just exporting a set of images using the "Stock
Black" Theme - marked name only - batched the
filename to masterfile - but the actual picture names
are still "picture-1.jpg" - "picture-2.jpg".
did I miss anything? thanks
I see what you want, you don't care about the screen name so much but want the generated file names to be the same as the version names. From earlier messages though I am not quite sure why this is a problem, since you said other people were picking the images they wanted - say Image1 and 23 and 8. That to me says those people are going through the directory using Finder or Explorer, not using the HTML.
Is it the case you are giving people web galleries on CD? If so, then perhaps also export a "browse" directory with exported images using the version names, so that people can use the right name.
Or perhaps it's the case that people are downloading the images from the web, and then using the downloaded file names to send you requests. I'm not sure how to fix this yet and do not know if 1.1 offers something for this.

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)

Lightroom Keeping Original File Size on JPEG Export

In Photoshop Light room, when I make edits to some JPEG files in a library and leave some unedited, I want to then export the JPEG files, keeping their original file sizes. The default quality setting is 60%, but this reduces the file sizes.
How do I keep the original file sizes?
Thx.
Tony.

> The default quality setting is 60%, but this reduces the file sizes. How do I keep the original file sizes?
All of the Export Presets can be edited and the new settings made to be default. Alternatively you can set up your own, new, presets to your own specification.

Transferring images out of iPhoto but keeping original date

I'm currently backing up all my images from iPhoto 4 onto CD (and elsewhere). When I transfer them the copy has todays date rather than the date they were originally created. Is there anyway to transferring them to back up and keep creation date so I retain the timeline.
thanks in advance

Hello -
I recently backed up my photo archive from my old G4 desktop to an external hard drive, then imported everything into iPhoto on my new MacBookPro. A number of photos are now categorized with 'original date' as 2007, though I know they are from a trip in 2006.
Is there any way to change this original date to the correct date, or otherwise weed them out of the calendar view under 'library', or do I simply need to distrust / ignore the annual organization and make my own 'album' and/or folders to deal with the mislabel?
Assuming the original files are correct (I unfortunately cannot check right now), would transferring the files directly between the computers solve the problem? Is there a way to back up without corrupting the original date field?
Thanks,
D.G/C.A

Rename PDF retains original file name?

I'm doing a forensic analysis of a PDF file sent from a multi-function printer. The PDF was renamed in Windows by the user but I need to determine the original PDF name as it was sent from the printer. I have used a PDF parsing tool to try and determine if the original file name is stored somewhere in the PDF itself but no joy. Any metadata I can see from simply opening the document in Acrobat Reader shows the printer model that created the PDF but not the original filename. Anyone know if this historical filename data is available to me or I've lost it ?
Thanks.

By doing a simple save as a user can create a completely new document so your forensis isn't going to get far. Just out of interest what are you trying to prove? Someone may be able to suggest another way around it...
