Renaming files in the Bin ?

This question concerns renaming a file when duplicated 4-5 times. The footage is about 5 minutes long and I would like to use 45 seconds, 30 seconds, 15 seconds, etc...from the same file. I duplicated the file; however, I can't rename it...all of the files update to the same name...what is the easiest way around this?

Why are you doing this?
Don't duplicate your files. Oh my no...this is NOT how FCP works.
If you want to use a section of a clip, just open it in the Viewer and drop in into the timeline. Want it again...do it again. You can have the same 30 second clips appear in your timeline 100 times if you wanted...MORE! No need to duplicate. This is how ANY editing system works.
You really need to crack open the manual and do the tutorials. You need a basic understanding on how the program works.
Wait...are you coming from iMovie?

  • Batch rename files on the server?

    Can someone explain how to batch rename files on the server ?
    I have 1000 rows each containing these fields
    id (unique key)
    productCode
    filename1
    filename2
    For every row I need to rename the following fields:
    Rename [filename1] to [productCode]_[id]_1
    Rename [filename2] to [productCode]_[id]_2
    also I need to rename the actual file on the server using the above scheme
    Can someone show me the way ? I'm a little rusty with ColdFusion

    So far I've got everything working apart from CFFILE which works only if it finds a corresponding jpeg file on the server. In other words it works perfectly until row 20 of the database because the filename contained in the field doesn't have a matching jpeg file on the server, so CFFILE fails like this...
    Attribute validation error for tag CFFILE.
    The value of the attribute source, which is currently C:\images\DSCN1293.JPG, is invalid.
    The error occurred in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\link\htdocs\old_apps\psp\updater.cfm: line 63
    61 :                    action = "rename"
    62 :                    source = #my_source1#
    63 :                    destination = #my_destination1#>
    is there a way to carry on looping through the remaining rows and ignore the above fail ?

  • 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.

  • No "javac" file in the "BIN" folder when I install v1.4 under XP

    I downloaded and installed the latest version of Java SDK 1.4, and in the "BIN" folder I see "java" and "javaw", but not "javac". I am sure it is suppoesed to be in the "BIN" folder but it is not. HELP!

    Did you maybe install the JRE instead of the JDK?

  • Rename files to the date & time?

    I am not sure if this is possible but...
    When a file is added to a particular folder, I need this file to be renamed. Either to the current time, creation time, or preferrably to the exif data (they are digital images).
    Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks, in advance.

    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.

  • Re-naming audio files in the bin

    I saw another post where a guy said you couldn't re-name audio files.
    I had to try it. He was partially right. it seems like you can't just double click and re-name the files.
    You can do it, it's just really tricky.
    I had the best result when I gave the file one long click then I was able to re-name it.
    It's still buggy, but it can be done. That needs to be fixed. I rename audio files allot.

    I can do it here by normal double clicking, so it's definetly not a Logic 8 Bug.

  • Automator Script to rename files with the file's Comment text?

    Hello and thank you for your time!
    Summary:
    I'd like to have an Automator Script that would copy the File's Comment info and paste it to the File's name, so I can import my sound effects into iTunes and have the proper labeling.
    Breakdown:
    I have a ton of Sound Effects that I'd like to put into iTunes, but the filenames are for example, "04. Track 04.mp3".  Not the most helpful name.
    I can search by "car crash" in the finder and find THAT file ("04. Track...")  because it's in the File's metadata in the Comment info, as "Car Crash - Chevy Camaro".
    So is there a script or a way to script Automator to copy the File's Comment info and paste it to the File's name, so I can import these into iTunes and have the proper labeling?
    Thank you for reading!

  • Custom batch rename files with Aperture 3 in the following format: IMG_0023.cr2 to Smith_YYMMDD_0023.cr2?  I cannot find a way to structure the date in Aperture as such, as well as extract only the camera file

    Please advise how to custom batch rename files with Aperture 3 in the following format: IMG_0023.cr2 to Smith_120816_0023.cr2?  I cannot find a way to structure the date in Aperture as such (YYMMDD), as well as extract only the camera file (0023, for example).  Adobe Bridge CS5 can do this, but NONE of the Adobe software is retina optimized, and is terrible to look at.

    In Aperture you are limited to renaming files by the entries in the File Naming preset window.
    At what point are you looking to rename, import or export? It might be possible to do what you are looking to do external to Aperture either via a script or other software.

  • Accidently deleted the files under $ORACLE_HOME/bin

    Hi,
    I am working on a HPUX ia64 machine wherein I have 2 Oracle Homes.
    1. 11.1.0.7_1Q10 -> 11.1.0.7 patchset with CPUAPR2010 patch and
    2. 11.1.0.7_3Q10 -> 11.1.0.7 with DATABASE PSU 11.1.0.7.4 (INCLUDES CPUJUL2010)
    Accidently yesterday while dropping a database and deleting its sub folders, I unknowingly deleted the files under $ORACLE_HOME/bin. (11.1.0.7_3Q10)
    The moment I realized the mistake, I cancelled (Ctrl+C) the operation. But by then, few files were already deleted!
    Now I am planning to copy the missing files from the bin directory of the other Oracle Home (11.1.0.7_1Q10).
    Is that a recommended solution. And will it work? I have around 5 databases in the affected home (11.1.0.7_3Q10). Is there a possibility of a disaster due to this situation?
    Appreciate your thoughts on this!
    Thanks!

    As of now, I do not have the backup of the filesystem. Also I have copied the missing files from the bin directory of 11.1.0.7_1Q10.
    Till now no application users have complained about any issues. The alert log of all 5 databases have no errors reported.
    So I assume there shouldnt be any issues! And things should work as normal!

  • How do I make a batch file if the .class file uses a foreign package?

    I am trying to make an MS-DOS batch file using the bytecode file from the Java source file, called AddFields.java. This program uses the package BreezySwing; which is not standard with the JDK. I had to download it seperately. I will come back to this batch file later.
    But first, in order to prove the concept, I created a Java file called Soap.java in JCreator. It is a very simple GUI program that uses the javax.swing package; which does come with the JDK. The JDK is currently stored in the following directory: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_07. I have the PATH environment variable set to the 'bin' folder of the JDK. I believe that it is important that this variable stay this way because C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_07\bin is where the file 'java.exe' and 'javac.exe' are stored. Here is my batch file so far for Soap:
    @echo off
    cd \acorn
    set path=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_07\bin
    set classpath=.
    java Soap
    pause
    Before I ran this file, I compiled Soap.java in my IDE and then ran it successfully. Then I moved the .class file to the directory C:\acorn. I put NOTHING ELSE in this folder. then I told the computer where to find the file 'java.exe' which I know is needed for execution of the .class file. I put the above text in Notepad and then saved it as Soap.bat onto my desktop. When I double click on it, the command prompt comes up in a little green box for a few seconds, and then the GUI opens and says "It Works!". Now that I know the concept of batch files, I tried creating another one that used the BreezySwing package.
    After I installed my JDK, I installed BreezySwing and TerminalIO which are two foreign packages that make building code much easier. I downloaded the .zip file from Lambert and Osborne called BreezySwingAndTerminalIO.zip. I extracted the files to the 'bin' folder of my JDK. Once I did this, and set the PATH environment variable to the 'bin' folder of my JDK, all BreezySwing and TerminalIO programs that I made worked. Now I wanted to make a batch file from the program AddFields.java. It is a GUI program that imports two packages, the traditional GUI javax.swing package and the foreign package BreezySwing. The user enters two numbers in two DoubleField objects and then selects one of four buttons; one for each arithmetic operation (add, subtract, multiply, or divide). Then the program displays the solution in a third DoubleField object. This program both compiles and runs successfully in JCreator. So, next I moved the .class file from the MyProjects folder that JCreator uses to C:\acorn. I put nothing else in this folder. The file Soap.class was still in there, but I did not think it would matter. Then I created the batch file:
    @echo off
    cd \acorn
    set path=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_07\bin
    set classpath=.
    java AddFields
    pause
    As you can see, it is exactly the same as the one for Soap. I made this file in Notepad and called it AddFields.bat. Upon double clicking on the file, I got this error message from command prompt:
    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: BreezySwing/GBFrame

    ... 12 more
    Press any key to continue . . .
    I know that most of this makes no sense; but that it only means that it cannot find the class BreezySwing or GBFrame (which AddFields extends). Notice, however that it does not give an error for javax.swing. If I change the "set path..." command to anything other than the 'bin' folder of my JDK, I get this error:
    'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
    operable program or batch file.
    Press any key to continue . . .
    I know this means that the computer cannot find the file 'java.exe' which I believe holds all of the java.x.y.z style packages (native packages); but not BreezySwing or any other foreign packages. Remember, I do not get this error for any of the native Java packages. I decided to compare the java.x.y.z packages with BreezySwing:
    I see that all of the native packages are not actually visible in the JDK's bin folder. I think that they are all stored in one of the .exe files in there because there are no .class files in the JDK's bin folder.
    However, BreezySwing is different, there is no such file called "BreezySwing.exe"; there are just about 20 .class files all with names like "GBFrame.class", and "GBActionListener.class". As a last effort, I moved all of these .class files directly into the bin folder (they were originally in a seperate folder called BreezySwingAndTerminalIO). This did nothing; even with all of the files in the same folder as java.exe.
    So my question is: What do I need to do to get the BreezySwing package recognized on my computer? Is there possibly a download for a file called "BreezySwing.exe" somewhere that would be similar to "java.exe" and contain all of the BreezySwing packages?

    There is a lot of detail in your posts. I won't properly quote everything you put (too laborious). Instead I'll just put your words inside quotes (").
    "..there are some things about the interface that I do not like."
    Like +what?+ This is not a help desk, and I would appreciate you participating in this discussion by providing details of what it is about the 'interface' of webstart that you 'do not like'. They are probably misunderstandings on your part.
    "Some of the .jar files I made were so dangerously corrupt, that I had to restart my computer before I could delete them."
    Corrupt?! I have never once had the Java tools produce a corrupt Jar. OTOH, the 'cannot delete' problem might relate to the JRE gaining a file lock on the archive at run-time. If the file lock persisted after ending the app., it suggests that the JRE was not properly shut down. This is a bug in the code and should be fixed. Deploying as .class files will only 'hide' the problem (from casual inspection - though the Task Manager should show the orphaned 'java' process).
    "I then turned to batch files for their simple structure and portability (I managed to successfully transport a java.util containing batch file from my computer to another). This was what I did:
    - I created a folder called Task
    - Then I copied three things into this folder: 1. The file "java.exe" from my JDK. 2. The program's .class file (Count.class). and 3. The original batch file.
    - Then I moved the folder from a removable disk to the second computer's C drive (C:\Task).
    - Last, I changed the code in the batch file...:"
    That is the +funniest+ thing I've heard on the forums in the last 72 hours. You say that is easy?! Some points.
    - editing batch files is not scalable to 100+ machines, let alone 10000+.
    - The fact that Java worked on the target machine was because it was +already installed.+ Dragging the 'java.exe' onto a Windows PC which has no Java will not magically make it 'Java enabled'.
    And speaking of Java on the client machine. Webstart has in-built mechanisms to ensure that the end user has the minimum required Java version to run the app. - we can also use the [deployJava.js|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/jweb/deployment_advice.html#deplToolkit] on the original web page, to check for minimum Java before it puts the link to download/install the app. - if the user does not have the required Java, the script should guide them through installing it.
    Those nice features in deployJava.js are available to applets and apps. launched using webstart, but they are not available for (plain) Jar's or loose class files. So if 'ensuring the user has Java' is one of the requirements for your launch, you are barking up the wrong tree by deploying loose class files.
    Note also that if you abandon webstart, but have your app. set up to work from a Jar, the installation process would be similar to above (though it would not need a .bat file, or editing it). This basic strategy is one way that I provide [Appleteer (as a downloadable ZIP archive)|http://pscode.org/appleteer/#download]. Though I side-step your part 1 by putting the stuff into a Jar with the path Appleteer/ - when the user expands the ZIP, the parts of the app. are already in the Appleteer directory.
    Appleteer is also provided as a webstart launched application (and as an applet). Either of those are 'easier' to use than the downloadable ZIP, but I thought I would provide it in case the end user wants to save it to disk and transport the app. to a machine with no internet connection, but with Java (why they would be testing applets on a PC with no internet connection, I am not sure - but the option is there).
    "I know that .jar and .exe files are out because I always get errors and I do not like their interfaces. "
    What on earth are you talking about? Once the app. is on-screen, the end user would not be able to distinguish between
    1) A Jar launched using a manifest.
    2) A Jar launched using webstart.
    3) Loose class files.
    Your fixation on .bat files sounds much like the adage that 'If the only tool you have is a hammer, every job starts to look like a nail'.
    Get over them, will you? +Using .bat files is not a practical way to provide a Java app. to the end user+ (and launching an app. from a .bat looks quite crappy and 'second hand' to +this+ user).
    Edit 1:
    The instructions for running Appleteer as a Jar are further up the page, in the [Running Appleteer: Application|http://pscode.org/appleteer/#application] section.

  • Organizer defect creates and leaves temporary files in the open directory.

    I'm using Photoshop Elements 11 Organizer and Adobe Bridge CS6 concurrently.  If I have Bridge open to the same folder as PSE Organizer and I do an "Add captions ..." operation to a group of files selected in the Organizer, then there is a very good chance that PSE Organizer will rename one or more files to OriginalFileName_edTMP-1.extension and leave the renamed file in the directory rather than completing the update and returning the file(s) to their original name.  In most cases my original files are Nikon .nef files with .xmp sidecar files, but I've also seen this happen with .psd files.  The .nef files are generally large, averaging 35 Mb per .nef image and the .psd files are usually over 100 Mb.  If PSE Organizer and Bridge are open to different folders then Organizer does not leave the renamed file.  Thus I would suggest that there may be a logical threading error in PSE Organizer where it does not consider that another application may be monitoring the folder and also opening the files, which is what Bridge does when it discovers that a file has changed (the addition of a caption changes the file contents.)  This was also a defect in PSE Organizer 10.

    I believe you missed the point.  And just for the record I have 40+ years of software engineering experience and do know something about data bases and application programming.  There is a defect in the Photoshop Elements Organizer and I suspect that one of the developers forgot to check a return code from an operation.  I also suspect that what happens is that the Organizer temporarily renames the file it wants to update, makes the update, and then intends or tries to rename it back to the original name.   But with Bridge running in the background and watching to see if there are any changes in the folder, Bridge sees the new file name and makes the file (or possibly the directory) temporarily unavailable to the Organizer as Bridge updates its information and the window display.  If the timing of the operations is just right, the Organizer can't access what it needs to and probably gets a failed return code from the rename operation.  If my supposition is correct, the code doesn't check this return code after the rename operation and just assumes that it took place.  The problem is clearly related to timing (race condition) and is more likely to occur on large files, such as 100+ MB Photoshop files.  Just for the record, I am not actually working with both Organizer and Bridge at the same time.  Bridge is running in the background.  I've learned to avoid the problem by pointing Bridge to a different folder when I do an update in Organizer.  I also realize that information that I might add in Bridge does not show up in the Organizer Catalog, but fortunately Bridge is smart enough to extract tags and titles that I've added with the Organizer once Organizer has written them to the files. The problem that I'm reporting is not an issue about what a user should or can do, it's about safe programming practices.  Adobe will decide if they want to fix it or not.

  • 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.

  • How can I automatically rename files based on an excel doc?

    I am a scientist and recieve data files from some of my experiments with arbitrary, computer-generated names. For example, if I perform an experiment with four samples, which I name Sample1, Sample2, Sample3, and Sample4, I get back 4 data files named J30935D05.ab1, J30935E05.ab1, J30935F05.ab1 and J30935G05.ab1 along with an Excel doc that lists my names for the samples (sample1, sample 2, etc.) in one column and the computer-generated names for their corresponding files (J30935D05.ab1, J30935E05.ab1, etc.) next to them in another. Therefore, I must open the Excel file and look up which file corresponds to which sample before I can begin processsing my data. Usually these experiments involve a large enough number of samples (70-100 or so) such that looking everything up in the Excel doc gets very tedious and is quite time-consuming. Is there any way to create an automator workflow, applescript, or some other solution to rename these files based on the Excel doc? To clarify, I would like an automator workflow that would take a folder of arbitrarily named files, look up the names I have for the samples in the Excel doc, and rename the files accordingly. In the example, my folder containing files J30935D05.ab1, J30935E05.ab1, J30935F05.ab1 and J30935G05.ab1 would be turned into a folder containing the files renamed as Sample1.ab1, Sample2.ab1, Sample3.ab1, and Sample4.ab1. This example is a bit simplified, however, and trying a simple trick of just systematically renaming files within the folder would not work--both the original and the new file names must be looked up in the Excel doc, as these change dramatically from experiment to experiment. I would also need to maintain the file extension on each file after being renamed. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

  • Problems emptying RAW files from Recycle Bin

    Hi
    I am not sure, but think my problem is connected with Lightroom 1.4.1
    When I delete RAW files from disc via Lightroom, they go into the Recycle Bin. However, I am unable to delete them from the bin without using an unlocker program. This is because when I choose to delete individual RAW files from the bin (or choose completely empty bin)I get a message saying that file Dq(number) cannot be deleted as it may be in use by another program. But no other program is open.
    I think this only applies to RAW files (Canon CR2) where I have created an editable file in Photoshop CS3. I am fed up with the tedious task of removing each individual Dq/CR2 file from the Recycle bin (the unlocker program will not let me batch delete) and suspect a workaround involving removing the CR2 files from the Lightroom catalogue and then deleting them from their source folder might work.
    However, this semms a clumsy way of having to do thistask.
    Has anyone else come across this please and does anyone have an elegant solution? Oh, the files concerned are all on an external hard disc, but I cannot see why this should affect things.

    Hi, Andrew. I do not have an external HD, so I am not sure if this is related. LR 1.4's seems to do some odd things with files that it sees as Read Only, such as from a CD, DVD, or external drive. Maybe it has something to do with this. Also, can you exit LR, then dumb Recycle Bin normally?
