Renaming images without breaking file path

I've got about 20 images in a RoboHelp 10 project that I need to rename. I can find them in the Project Manager pod and I see the option to rename them there, but if I do so, it breaks the link to the image in any topics in which they already appear. If someone can explain how to do one of two things, I'd be greatly appreciative:
1. Rename the image so that the topics it appears in automatically update to the new file path
2. Find a list of all topics in which the image appears so I know where to go to fix the file paths once I change the name
I've had no luck at all Googling this issue, and my next resort will be a topic-by-topic search, which I really don't want to do.
Thanks so much in advance!

Thank you - I tried renaming yesterday and the link broke, tried again this morning and it's fine. Must have been doing something stupid inadvertently.
Thanks again!

Renaming Images from Text File

Hello,
I am trying to rename images in a folder to match the names within in a text file. The names in the text file are all unique, so using a rename batch like example-1.jpg, example-2.jpg, etc. won't work. I have matched the structure between both the name and image file, so I need automator to traverse down the text file and add each unique name to the corresponding image.
If anyone has some help for this it will greatly be appreciated! Thanks

I wrote you a shell script that will do the job.
First, put all your images into a folder (if you haven't already done so). Make a copy of the folder for safety's sake (I tested the script and it should work fine, but it's always good to have a backup).
Now, make sure each new name in the text file is on its own line. Rename the file to "list.txt" and put it in the same folder as the images (better make a copy of the list, too).
Now, download this file: http://danielrichman.com/tmp/file_rename.sh
Put it in the same folder as your images.
Now, open Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal and type the following (without quotes):
"cd "
Then open up the Finder window that contains the images. In the title bar of the window, there's a little folder icon. Drag the icon into the Terminal window. (You should see the path copied.)
Then, in Terminal, press enter.
Then copy this (and press enter at the end):
"chmod a+x ./file_rename.sh"
Then, do this:
"./file_rename.sh"
That should be it! Please let me know how it goes.
Good luck!

How i do that

The functionality that you require is not available to VBA/COM - it is only exposed via C/C++.
However, you could retrieve the ENTIRE page image to the clipboard and then use whatever VB/VBA methods you choose to grab a section of the image.
Of course, this all assumes that Adobe Acrobat is installed on each person's computer that will be using the solution since Reader does not have the necessary APIs and Acrobat can't be installed on a server.

Apple Script to rename images using CSV file

Hello, I have build a website using a Woocommerce for Wordpress. The site is going to have over 1200 images and they need to be renamed appropriately for each product. I've never used Apple Script before but after hours and hours of searching I have noticed people with similar issues have managed to solve the problem using AppleScript.
I have attached a screenshot of the CSV file first 20 files - also the images are all saved in a folder with the names _DSC7916 copy 2.jpg etc etc.
Hopefully my issue makes sense,

In applescript it goes something like this:
          this all assuming the CSV file is a plain text file with a comma delimiting
          the old and new filenames on a given line. If you have another structure
          you need to give specifics so this can be modified
set theCSVData to paragraphs of (read "/path/to/theCSVFile.csv")
set {oldTID, my text item delimiters} to {my text item delimiters, ","}
repeat with thisLine in theCSVData
          set {oldFileName, newFileName} to text items of thisLine
          tell application "System Events"
                    set name of file oldFileName of folder "path/to/folder of images" to newFileName
          end tell
end repeat
set my text item delimiters to oldTID
Note that I've made a lot of assumptions about your csv file, any or all of which may be wrong. please clarify as needed.

How to get images dynamically from database without file paths in the table field

I have a MS-Access database. I am working with ASP.NET. In the database there is product table in which I have "CodeNo" as a field which is a text field, and the product codes like "SM-R-2035". I also have another field "Image" which is also a text field and which have a file path in it corresponding to the particular product Image (e.g. Images\Products\SM-R-2035.jpg). So far every thing is ok. I have to update this site very frequently and lots of images are added each and every time. Its a tedious work to type the paths and file name every time and it also take a lot of time.
What I am asking is : Is it possible to get images from a specific folder at runtime which is referenced by the "code no" itself and not the file path from the database. (Say at run time the "code no" is referenced from the database and the corresponding image is loaded dynamically from the specified folder). In other word I want to avoid the tedious work of typing.
Can any one help with this issue. Any other simple suggestions are welcome.

All you need to do is simple concatenation to obtain the path for the image file. You didn't mention whether you are using VB.Net, C# or some other language to do your coding.
If the code in your database is SM-R-2035, the file name is SM-R-2035.jpg and the path to the images foilder is Images\Products\SM-R-2035.jpg, Conceptually here is what you need to do:
dim code_var
dim path_var
code_var = the code you obtain from your relevant field in the database
path_var = "Images\Products\" & code_var & ".jpg"
Now path_var is what you would call to obtain the image from your images folder.

File Name of Image Displayed in PSE 8 does not match File Path Name in Windows 7

I recently got a new computer .I upgraded on my Windows XP computer from PSE 5.0 to PSE 8.0. I then moved my files to the new computer running Windows 7 following the instructions I received on an earlier post. I copied the catalog folder and the picture folders on the C drive from the old to the new computer (catalog folder to location specified in System Info; images to My Pictures). Everything appears to have worked beautifully without having to go through a big Reconnect struggle. The organzer appears to have found all of the images and I can bring them up in Editor as well. However, when I look at the properties of a given image the full file name displayed is what it was on XP, i.e., C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\My Documents\My Pictures\<folder name>\<file name> rather than the path as it is in Windows 7, i.e., C:\Users\<user name>\My Pictures\<folder name>\<file name>. I am new to Windows 7 so maybe I am missing something unique to Windows 7 but I would appreciate any information.

You're observing the special folder aliases that Vista and Windows 7 create to preserve backward compatibility (Microsoft keeps changing how and where users' documents are stored). On Windows 7:
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\My Documents\My Pictures
is a special kind of alias to the folder:
C:\Users\<user name>\Pictures
(And C:\Users<user name>\My Pictures is yet another kind of Windows 7 special alias, a "library", that includes the folder C:\Users<user name>\Pictures.)
Whenever an application like PSE refers to the old location, C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\My Documents\My Pictures, Windows automatically translates that under the covers to C:\Users\<user name>\Pictures. But Windows Explorer is configured to prevent you from accessing C:\Documents and Settings\ interactively -- only programs like PSE are able to do that. Microsoft wants users of Windows Explorer to always use the "new" name, C:\Users\<user name>\Pictures.
In your case, your catalog contained the old XP folder paths, and Windows is automatically translating them on the fly to the new paths, unbeknownst to PSE.
Like most such backward-compatibility hacks, this does not work perfectly. PSE thinks that the old path and the new path refer to two completely different folders. I'm not positive, but I think there are opportunities for PSE to get confused by that. When you import new photos, they will get recorded in the catalog under the new folder paths.
In my previous recommendation for how to move to the new computer, I had assumed that you would most likely be changing user names and photo locations, and thus you would be forced to do a Reconnect, and you wouldn't have encountered this. If I had thought you weren't going to need a Reconnect, I would have recommended not using this method but rather using Backup/Restore (my first recommended method) -- my bad.
It may well be that your current catalog and PSE will work well enough. But there is at least a small risk that down the road PSE will get confused by the old and new folder names. The easiest way to avoid that risk would be to start over and use the Backup/Restore method for moving your catalog, whch is more effort on your part. But because I don't fully understand the risk, I can't tell you whether you should be worried about it. Definitely do some testing: editing, importing and editing new photos, use Display > Folder Location view, try renaming and moving old photos to new folders, try the Photo Downloader, etc.

Moving and renaming image files

I want to move & rename image files to folders on the hard drive by dragging and dropping them into my application. I read about the problem with renameTo() method with windows. Is this possible to do in java? I heard about a method in which you read,write and delete the old file? How do I go about making this happen?

Well, what happens if you create the folder C:/Test/testfile1.txt ?
Or alternatively remove the part that says "testfile1.txt" from the directory path in your program.
Or alternatively call dir.mkdirs() before trying to rename.
What I am getting at is that when you create a file with the constructornew File(dir,newdest.getName())the parameter dir is treated as a directory no matter what its name is. If its name is "C:/Test/testfile1.txt," the name of the new file will be "C:/Test/testfile1.txt/name_of_newdest"where name_of_newdest is the name of the "newdest" file. This might not be what you wanted

Batch Renaming Image Files from a list of names

I would like to use the batch rename function in Bridge CS5 to quickly rename newly uploaded image files of our products. I would like to rename the image to it's corresponding product number. The issue is that the product numbers aren't in exact numerical order (ie. the first pic is of product ES2004 and the next one is for ES2012). The product numbers can sometimes end with a letter or a number. The pictures are taken in order of the product numbers on an excel sheet. What's the easiest way to have bridge name the image file to its corresponding part number?

Here is an example script that will do the re-naming also place the original filename into the metadata.
CSV format is fileName,Product IE:
p1020337.jpg,E179562
p1020338.jpg,Z556301
Copy and paste the script into ExtendScript Toolkit (This gets installed with Photoshop)
Open Bridge
Edit > Preferences > Startup Scripts
Click "Reveal My Startup Script"
Save the script into this folder.
Close and restart Bridge and accept the new script.
To use, navigate to the folder with the documents to rename, "Right mouse click Menu" select "Rename to Product" and select your csv file.
#target bridge
if( BridgeTalk.appName == "bridge" ) {
fileNameToProduct = MenuElement.create("command", "Rename to Product", "at the end of Thumbnail");
fileNameToProduct.onSelect = function () {
renameToProduct();
function renameToProduct(){
var Path =app.document.presentationPath;
var descFile = File.openDialog("Open Product File","CSV File(*.csv):*.csv;");
if(descFile == null) return;
descFile.open('r');
var datFile=[];
while(!descFile.eof){
var line = descFile.readln();
if(line.length > 5) datFile.push(line);
descFile.close();
for(var t in datFile){
var str=datFile[t];
str= str.split(',');
var fileName = File(Path+"/"+ str.shift());
var product = str.shift();
if(!fileName.exists) continue;
var ext = fileName.toString().toLowerCase().match(/[^\.]+$/);
var thumb = new Thumbnail(fileName);
var md = thumb.synchronousMetadata;
md.namespace = "http://ns.adobe.com/xap/1.0/mm/";
md.PreservedFileName = thumb.name;
$.sleep(100); //give it time to update the metadata
var newName = product + "." +ext;
fileName.rename(newName);
alert("All done");

BTW when i remove the "2-2-2" Lightroom then will recognize it....just a pain to do
As web-weaver alluded to previously, the -2-2-2 is the mark of Lightroom renaming a file to resolve a filename conflict. - in a nutsell: if it needs to write a file, but the name is already taken (a file of that name already exists in the folder) it appends -2 (yes, it may be -3 or -4 too depending - but I shan't explain all here).
For the record, I never want Lightroom to append a -1, -2, -3 ... to *any* of my files, be they catalog, photo, or export... This feature is for people who use computers without understanding about files, or folders, or disks... - which is cool, but in my case, any time Lr is doing that it's the wrong thing to do.
i.e. if there is a filename conflict - I want to be involved in resolving it.
Worth noting: there are 2 things that can happen in Lightroom:
1. Proper automatic resolution of legitimate filenaming conflicts (by appending -digit uniqueness suffix).
2. Improper automatic resolution of un-real filenaming conflicts due to Lightroom bugs/confusion. e.g. renaming a file will sometimes add the suffix even though there is no filename conflict.
Bottom line: If images are unlinking themselves and renaming themselves (and you didn't do it, inadvertently outside Lightroom, or in...), then there is a bug in Lightroom. If that is the case, then such bug may very well have been set off by some anomaly in your computer/file-system/catalog... - worth considering that.
If this is a bug in Lightroom, consider reporting it via the link below, along with as much info as you can about how it happened, how to reproduce...

How do I collect and organize files into a new folder without breaking the links to my media?

I'm new to premiere pro, and learned that I probably should have figured out where to organize all of my files from the beginning, but in the post production phase, I have a bunch of audio and image files sitting all over my desktop, and I'm afraid that if I move them, I'll break the links to all of my media. Files I edited in CS6 Photoshop and Audition are of special concern (considering they get automatically routed to my desktop).
Does anyone know how I can collect all of the files and media that were imported into my project, and and archive them into a folder without breaking the project's links to the original media? Perhaps there's a way to copy all of the files and move them into that folder, so that when I move the originals, I'll still maintain all of the links in the copied version?
I tried using the project manager tool, but received an "unknown error message" each time I ran it.
Any organizational insight would be much appreciated!

How to use Client_Host without the exe file path

Hi,
i'm using oracle forms 10g,
in my application the users can upload any type of files (doc,xls,pdf,avi ,.. etc) and any user can download and open any of these files.
i implement this using client_host and including the path of winword.exe or AcroRd32.exe ,...
in many cases i don't know where these exe files are installed in the client side or whether it is installed or not.
i tried this command : client_host('calc.exe') it works and show me the calc without including the path of this exe file.
what i want to do is to just call the target file(doc,pdf,avi,..) in the client_host without having to precede this with the exe and path like the calc.exe example.
if you go to start->run and write for example c:\ahmed.mpeg , windows automatically call the real player or any other video software installed and open the movie.
can we implement this in oracle forms? and how?

Hi, you attach a procedure to download a file in the local runs from Windows and to close it updates in the database and then delete the local directory

File Path Visible When I Hover Over Images

Hi,
I converted a PowerPoint document to a PDF. The PowerPoint document includes images (GIF, JPEG). When I hover my cursor over the image in the PDF I created I can see the file path C:\User\User Name\Photo\File Name.JPG.
Is there a setting in the PDF that I can 'unselect' so I don't see the file path when I hover over images?
Thanks,
mindforge
