Renaming in LR 5

If my original file is a .nef file and I process it and save as a .jpg can both files have the same name?

Renaming will not turn the file into a JPG; it just changes the name to include the letters JPG without changing the internal guts of the file to match the JPG definition.
If you want a JPG, then you would use File->Export
However, since your stated criterion is to have two files of the same photo, what you really need to do is make backups (exact duplicates) of both your Lightroom catalog and your photos, on a different physical disk. You backup the catalog file via the Lightroom command Edit->Catalog Settings->Backup Catalog. You make backups of each photo in your operating system or via third party utilities (Lightroom will not make backups of your photos). Even if you were to properly create a JPG, this is not a backup because it will not be an exact duplicate of your photo.
Making backups as described is a very good practice. Saving duplicate copies via renaming or File->Export is considered poor practice.

  • Is there a way to create a renaming preset where the sequence starts at the number "0" zero?

    What I am trying to achieve is the following:
    Fro example, I am photographing a handbag and I need to rename the file using a barcode and a barcode scanner.
    My sequence of images goes like this:
    Image 1: Tag shot
    Image 2: Front
    Image 3: Back
    Image 4: Inside bag
    Let's say the barcode once scanned produces a code such as TRE8801AZT16-Z
    Right now my current preset is "Custom Text_Image # (1)"
    This results with the images being renamed as:
    TagShot: TRE8801AST16-Z_1
    Front: TRE8801AST16-Z_2
    Back: TRE8801AST16-Z_3
    Inside bag: TRE8801AST16-Z_4
    What I need is the sequence to start at zero so the tag shot is _0 and my images are named like this:
    TagShot: TRE8801AST16-Z_0
    Front: TRE8801AST16-Z_1
    Back: TRE8801AST16-Z_2
    Inside bag: TRE8801AST16-Z_3
    Is this possible? If yes, how?
    Thanks for the help

    About as close as you can get is to right-click on a single clip and Make Multiclip Sequence. Hit OK to make an sequence out of the single clip. Open the sequence made and delete the multiclip and edit the clip you want back into the sequence.

  • Can't rename a folder in Windows 7 - receive error message

    When trying to rename a folder in Windows 7, I get a "Folder In Use" message saying that the folder or a file in it is open in another program.  This is untrue as I don't have any other programs open.  I even rebooted the computer and tried again
    and it gave me the same message.  This has occurred more than once and it's beginning to drive me crazy.  Do you have any suggestions as to how to fix this problem?

    Hi,
    Please use the
    Process Explorer to check which process keeps your file in use.
    In addition, you can try to rename the folder in
    Safe Mode to see the result.

  • Renaming the Physical Filename for Datafiles in SQL Server 2008

    Can anyone tell me how to change the physical filename of the datafiles? There doesn't seem to be any documentation on this, yet its quite easy to change the logical filename.

     There are several ways to make this change, however to rename the physical database files at operating system level you will have to take the database offline
    1. Use SSMS to take the database Offline (right-click on Database, select Tasks, Take Offline), change the name of the files at the OS level and then Bring it Online.
    2. You could Detach the database, rename the files and then Attach the database pointing to the renamed files to do so.
    3. You could Backup the database and then restore, changing the file location during the restore process.
    4. using T SQL
    ALTER DATABASE databaseName SET OFFLINE
    GO
    ALTER DATABASE databaseNAme MODIFY FILE (NAME =db, FILENAME = 'C:\Program
    Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.2\MSSQL\Data\db.mdf')
    GO
    --if changing log file name
    ALTER DATABASE  databaseNAme MODIFY FILE (NAME = db_log, FILENAME =
    'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.2\MSSQL\Data\db.ldf')
    GO
    ALTER DATABASE databaseName SET ONLINE

    This command will copy the <originalFileName> to a new file called <newFileName> and will delete the <originalFileName>
    There is no rename command in Unix,mv is used to rename the files

  • Adobe Bridge Batch Rename Stopped Working

    ive been using bridge exclusively to rename/
    organize my files and today for some odd reason it just will not work. i select the files i wish to rename and then select batch rename and name/numer the files as ive always done before and when i click rename nothing happens at all. i cleared out my cache to no avail and im now officially stumped. any help is appreciated. thanks!

    Your problem does seem odd.  Difficult to troubleshoot by remote, so run a few tests and see if you can narrow the problem down.
    By any chance are you trying a batch re-name of files on an external drive?  If so may be permissioning problem.
    Do you have this problem in all folders or just one?  If one there may be a contaminated file or name (i.e. flower.jpeg.jpeg)
    To avoid fouling up your files copy a dozen or so and put in "test"  folder then run these tests.
    Can you do a simple rename of one file?
    Can you do a batch rename of one file?
    If the above is true can you do batch rename for all files in this folder?
    If so does the extension make any difference - jpeg, psd, etc.?

  • Adobe Bridge CC: Batch Rename using any metadata field

    How can I add certain Metadata fields to the pull down menu in the batch rename function?
    I need to do a batch rename of files, but using metadata fields that are not available as an option on the pull down menu.
    Hoping to use any or all of these:
    Audio : Artist, Album, Genre
    IPTC Core : Description, Keywords, etc..

    I don't think there is any way in which you can add to the built-in functions…
    Unless this is actually provided by one of the Adobe start-up scripts… ( I've not see it when digging about )
    You would probably need a scripted solution that can give you drop down menu of the extra options you want.

  • Download Helper, even with paid converter upgrade, gives "Invalid Capture File" errors and will not record audio, with "File Creation Error - Unable to rename/copy audio file" Error.

    Download Helper Screen Capture worked to capture video if the default "no audio" option is active. But, no audio. The "speakers" or "microphone" audio options are confusing....the audio to be captured is from the video, so what do you choose? With either "speakers" or "microphone" selected, the captured file has poor audio and no video. Re-capture efforts (speakers) get "Invalid capture file error" and "File Creation error- Unable to rename/copy audio file"
    The paid upgrade of "Converter" doesn't work.
    Instructive documentation - not very good.
    Suggestions - Need time delay between initiation of "Record" and starting the video to be recorded.
    Could use timer tracking of the record process.
    Are there operating system limitations? (Have Windows XP Pro)

    That is an issue for the developer of that Download Helper.

  • Everytime i eject my ipod and reconnect it all my music is gone. and sometimes while i try adding music to it. itunes completely freezes. please help. and sometimes when i plug it back into my PC i have to rename my ipod and such

    Everytime i eject my ipod and reconnect it all my music is gone. and sometimes while i try adding music to it. itunes completely freezes. please help. and sometimes when i plug it back into my PC i have to rename my ipod and such

    Antivirus has a tendency to freeze iTunes sync Operation with iPod Classic, causing a timeout, which corrupt your iPod filesystem, so when iTunes can't read the iPod, it is pointing to this problem. Other causes is when your iPod hardisk is dying, or your battery is dying causing hardisk crashes.
    My suggestion.
    Connect your iPod to the PC and run chkdsk, to fix any iPod diskerror, then disconnect it, after chkdsk complete.
    Disconnect your PC from Internet. (just to make sure no nasties creep into your system while you syncing.
    Stop the Antivirus program
    Connect your Ipod to the PC
    When iTunes Open up, Restore your iPod please, this is for iTunes to map correctly, to fix the corrupted filesystem.
    When Restore complete, eject the iPod and reconnect again.
    Sync your ipod, preferably manually Manage in small batches and disconnect after every batch, to check that all is well, since you got such a huge library.
    When all sync is complete, and iPod disconnected, start back your Antivirus and connect back the Internet.
    If this doesn't resolve your problem, then let me know.
    Good Luck!

  • Rename a Jtree node directly & Popup Menu

    Pls assist with codes to rename a Jree node directly without using a dialog box or optionpane. I tried
    tree.startEditingAtPath(/* path of selected node*/);
    to go to edit mode and it does not work.
    II. Is it possible to attach different popmenu to the root, separate from the parent and child? Pls assist with code as the popupmenu i use at the moment shows up on the nodes(root, parent, leaf).
    I have benefiited greatly from questions asked and answers proferred at this forum and I use this opportunity to thank everyone greatly as I have migrated to Java based on all the materials sourced on the net.

    Dennis,
    are you saying that i have to define the popmenu for each category of node in the mouseadapter and att'd these to the tree depending on whether root, leaf or whatever type of node is selected?
    I will try this and revert.
    I can not make anything out of the reference giving with regard to renaming a node in edit mode.
    Pls provide more explanation and sample code, if necessary.
    Thanks a million.

  • Regarding Renaming INDEX Partitions

    Hi All,
    I have the following syntax for renaming table partitions/subpartitions :
    ALTER TABLE SMTP_MSG_TRAFFIC_FCT RENAME PARTITION FOR (20100310) TO BASE_FACT_20100310;
    ALTER TABLE SMTP_MSG_TRAFFIC_FCT RENAME SUBPARTITION FOR (20100310,19) TO BASE_FACT_20100310_MAILBOX;
    I want to do the same thing for renaming the index partitions/subpartitions :
    ALTER INDEX SMTP_MSG_TF_FX02_ARR_TM_DIM_ID RENAME PARTITION FOR (20100310) TO BASE_FACT_20100310;
    ALTER TABLE SMTP_MSG_TF_FX02_ARR_TM_DIM_ID RENAME SUBPARTITION FOR (20100310,19) TO BASE_FACT_20100310_MAILBOX;
    But I get the following error:
    SQL> ALTER INDEX SMTP_MSG_TF_FX02_ARR_TM_DIM_ID RENAME PARTITION FOR (20100310) TO BASE_FACT_20100310;

    ERROR at line 1:

    Is it possible to rename the partition in this way? Or can I set any parameter that will ensure that when the base table partition name changes, it will also change the index partition name?
    Thanks & Regards,
    Aniket

    yes its possible:
    SQL>ALTER INDEX index_name RENAME PARTITION index_partiton_name TO new_index_partition;
    You are getting error because :
    a partition name is expected but not present as you typed,
    enter an appropriate partition name, will solve the problem.

  • CS3 Web Photo Gallery index.htm renaming

    I'm not sure if there is a way to change this but if any one know please let me know. I working to modify one of the templates for the Web Photo Gallery, and am wondering if there is a way to designate in the template what to name the index page besides index.htm or index.html.
    I'm working to create a site that will have many photo galleries. And while it does work to have each gallery in its own sub directory with the main gallery page named index.htm. I would prefer to have the main gallery page renamed during the automation process for easier archiving.
    Let me know if anyone know if this is possible.

    >Anyway, renaming the files should not pose a problem, if you do full links. I just wouldn't do it for web galleries created automatically from PS.
    There are could be hundreds of subpages in a gallery and I'm trying to avoid going back and redoing the link to each of the main pages. Every subpage points to the main page or the index page that PS creates. I can go and manually rename the index page but then the home button that is generated during the automation on each of the sub pages needs to be changed as well. I'm trying to avoid this.
    Let me explain what I'm trying to accomplish. In the root of the domain I plan on having my index page (with a brief description about the company). Then I plain to have a few other pages including a gallery page. This is going to be the main page for all my galleries. Images will be places here that will link to the main page of each of the galleries that are created. Also on the root there will be a folder named "XYZ". This is were all the galleries will be placed under there own sub folders.

  • Renaming the index.htm file

    Folks - I welcome some help on this one!
    I'm running RoboHelp 9, and authoring a help system for a dev group whose buildmeister has requested I rename (if possible) RoboHelp's compiled 'index.htm' file to something else, so as not to conflict with another index.htm file that apparently is part of this software build. I'm assuming this can't be done as a simple File Explorer 'rename', but needs to be defined within the project prior to compiling fresh output. However, I can't find a setting for to accomplish this, and, frankly, don't even know if it's necessary (or possible).
    best,
    Lumpy

    Hello again, Lumpy
    In looking at this thread the following thought occurs to me. If your developer is wanting you to rename your start page, it likely means that your WebHelp is just plopped in with other content. And if that's the case, I'd have to think things are severely disorganized. Normally the help sits in its own folder that is separate from whatever application it supports.
    I know that often developers suffer the God complex and don;t fathom any possibility they are wrong, but it might be worth asking some questions about the arrangement.
    Cheers... Rick
