Searching Ipad for photos by file name

Why can't I find photos in my Ipad search? (I have an Ipad 2.) When I search for something, it will find everything BUT photos. As it is, it takes forever to find whatever specific photo I want to look at, because I have to scroll and scroll and scroll for it, instead of just search for it by name. Seems like a bad design flaw for a device that can easily accumilate thousands upon thousands of photos, especially since this is a tool that can be used to show other people photos that are better/bigger than a phone, and faster/more portable/easier to access than a computer...Am I just missing something?

Search iPad for all .PDF files

Hi,
How can I search my iPad for all the .pdf files that are on it?
Thank you

Thanks but that doesn't work.
A .pdf is not a name but a type of file like a picture or a video. It is an extension.
Searching iBooks is not enough as I need to search the whole iPad, including emails, etc.
Surely there has to be a way to search for types of files on an iPad like pictures, video's, presentations, etc.

2) It would be equally helpful if there was something that would take the name of the picture file and spotlight comment, copy and paste it to a movie file's comments with the same name but obviously has different extention. For an example
In a Pictures folder
Name: Dark Knight, The.jpeg       Comment: (2008) Genre: Action...             <- copy comment
In a Movie Folder
Name: Dark Knight, The.m4v       Comment:                                               <- paste
and do this for all 700 files
This Bash script will do it.
Edit "PicDir" and "MovDir" to the location of your Folders
(Note: The comment is written to the m4v file using xattr, so the Spotlight comment field appears blank in Finder, but the comment metadata is still indexed by Spotlight (If you add a Spotlight comment from Finder, it is stored both as an extended attribute and in a .DS_Store file)
#!/bin/bash
PicDir=$HOME/Desktop/Pictures
MovDir=$HOME/Desktop/Movies
for f in $PicDir/*
do
     if [ ! -d "$f" -a "${f##*.}" == "jpeg" ]; then
          comment=$(mdls -raw -name kMDItemFinderComment "$f")
          if [[ $comment != "(null)" ]]; then
               picname=${f##*/}
               movname=${picname%.*}.m4v

Get the ipad to display my photos in file name sequence

How can I get the ipad to display my photos in file name sequence instead of by time/date stamp? I want to display them in a particular sequence controlled by the filename I gave them.

Hey Tex,
Good idea. I've found a question that indicates that the ipad sorts by name (https://discussions.apple.com/message/9116248#9116248). Mine are all sorted by date/time. How did they do that?
The app you suggested looks promising, but it sounds like i have to manually rearrange my pictures, and since i have hundreds in each folder, this would be tedious. Is there an app that will allow me to display them by filename w/o me having to rearrange them myself??
Thanks.

PE9 - sort photos by file name?

PE9 - how can I sort photos by file name so I can drag and drop into the timeline?

Date is all I want to sort by, so for me it is a better way than filename. Originally they were sorted by name on iOS devices (up to iOS 3.1.3), but Apple must have decided (possibly via feedback) that capture date was a better way. You can always try leaving feedback and maybe in the future there will be a choice : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
If you want to sort them in a different order then you can do so if you use a Mac and transfer the photos via iPhoto or Aperture. Otherwise you can either manipulate their capture dates prior to syncing so that they are in the order you want (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4221), or there are third-party apps in the iTunes App Store that apparently allow sorting e.g. Photo-Sort for iPad or Sort Shorts iPad Edition

Ipad only uses one file name when uploading images via email

We have an image tool that uploads images to a template website. The problem is the file names for these images must be unique any duplicate file names will be rejected. Some of our users want to be able to upload from the field but Ipad only assigns the file name "photo.JPG" to jpegs. It doesn't seem to include the sequential extension that actually does exist for the image on the file name when uploading. Is there a way to get ipad to do so, or is this something that Apple maybe want to consider looking into. I can easily see the average Joe emailing themselves images and hitting save only to replace and lose an older image because let's face it, not all users are on MACs and PC's do not allow multiple files to have the same file name in the same folder.

Hi,
Based on the description, you could send email to external addresses without the Twin Oaks software. However, with the Twin Oaks software, you couldn't send successfully.
For this issue, I recommend you enable message tracking and check whether you could retrieve message tracking log entires when you send emails to external addresses through the Twin Oaks software.
If you couldn't retrieve message these tracking log entires when you send emails to external addresses through the Twin Oaks software, it means that the Exchange server is OK and the crux of the problem is the Twin Oaks software.
Here is an article about message tracking log for your reference.

Crash on search function for HTML Help file (.chm) when connected to a Visual C++ application

Crash on search function for HTML Help file (.chm) when
connected to a Visual C++ application
I use the RH_ShowHelp API command to connect a HTML Help file
(.chm file generated by RoboHelp Word X 5) to my Visual C++
application. My application is able to call up this HTML help file
in context-sensitive mode and everything is working great in the
Contents and Index panels EXCEPT when I click on List Topics (after
I enter a KEYWORD for search) in the Search panel.
I got an error that said “Unhandled exception in
xxxx.exe.(HHCTRL.OCX):0xC00000FD: Stack overflow”
I am able to execute this .chm file by itself and the search
function works well in this case. I am using HHActiveX.dll that is
created on 2/23/04. Is this the correct version?? Any advice what
to do here??

Hi agschin and welcome to the RH forums. The hhactivex.dll
file is not used by the search function so you can rule that our.
Have you tried recompiling and seeing if the problem still happens?
You can also start the Bug Hunter feature in RH - View > Output
View and then select the Bug Hunter button - and see if that throws
up any clues.

Photoshop plug-ins for photo CD files

How can I dowload the Photoshop CS6 plub-in for photo CD files? There was nont in the photoshop flug-ins folder.

Hi Hayes,
That plugin was discontinued for photoshop several versions back, but depending on your operating system, you might find some useful info in the following threads:

If you still have an older version of photoshop that has that plugin, then using that version of photoshop would probably be the way to go.

Photos on an iPad do not have meaningful file names. If you synced Photos through iTunes their file names are turned into number sequences (ie img_95040.jpg). There is nothing to search for that would be of any relevance, hence no to application really do this that I know of.

HOW DO I IMPORT PHOTOS BY FILE NAME TO THE IPAD 2

I need to organize my photos in my ipad by the file names that i have on my computer. I use a windows computer.
Anyone have any suggestions?

See this article:
iOS and iPod: Syncing photos using iTunes: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236
(the title says iPod, but it should work for iPad as well)
You need first to connect your iPad to your PC for the sync options to be available:
Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed.
In iTunes, select your device's icon in the Devices list on the left.
Click the Photos tab.
Choose "Sync photos from."

Recently opening an HTML file on my computer makes firefox attempt a search for the entire file name in the search engine online, how to do i correct that?

when opening an HTML file recently my Firefox automatically opens up a yahoo search screen and the file, the entire file name and route for the file is searched for online. I don't even use Yahoo Search i use Google but that doesn't mater have to open the file manually with searching it on on the open screen to read it because it's trying to search for it online instead of reading it from where i clicked on it.

Please read this article about restoring bookmarks:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Lost_bookmarks
As far as your passwords are concerned, I don't think there's anything you can do. But for the future, you can use the following add-ons to avoid any future loss:

And a simple way to import your bookmarks (since you already saved it on your desktop as html) is:

Good luck.

How can I have uploaded pictures to iPhone or iPad be sorted by file name. Used to be able to based on their folders, but it no longer works and puts pictures in random order, I guess by date, which doesn't work for me. Need them by file name.

Using windows. In the past I was able to have the picutres sorted in files and by file name and that is how they showed in the phone or pad. Not long ago one of the itune updates changed so it sorted by date and the the another update changed so it went by file name. Well when I got a new computer and updated itunes it won't load pictures in correct order. Is there an option I'm missing or is this an option that Apple should have for how you want pictures sorted?

SELECT     datapoint,
           sub_total,
           section
FROM       report_table
WHERE      datapoint IN
               (SELECT   datapoint
                FROM     report_table
                WHERE    section IN ('027', '038', '042', '044', '006', '008', '011', '022', '023')
                AND      report_name = :selected_report_name
                GROUP BY datapoint
                HAVING SUM(CASE WHEN section IN ('027', '038', '042', '0440') THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)
                    <> SUM(CASE WHEN section IN ('008', '011', '022', '023') THEN 1 ELSE 0 END))
ORDER BY   datapoint;

*** cant I sort photos by file name?

Is apple that retarted that it thinks date is a better way than file name? Are they that full of them selves to not realize people should have an option in photo sorting?
I am a profesional phtogographer and Photo Editor of an international magazine, and I purchased the Ipad to use it to review and shor portfolios. It is absolutly useless to me, if it re-orders images differently then I have them set.

IPhone photo album file name sort order

I have a folder with photos in it on my Mac. When I sync the folder to my iPhone and view the photos on the phone, the photos are not displaying in file name sort order. The file names of the photos are numbers (001, 002, 003 etc.). It seems the photos are being displayed in date created order and not in the file name order. The album with photos on my Mac is arranged / sorted by the name when syncing.
Is there a way to have the photos in the iPhone album displayed in file name sort order?
Thanks,
David

Focus Point (not free, no ads) will allow you to rename the files, add descriptions, and sort in a variety of ways. But it won't let you do anything in the main screen except browse your photo albums or camera roll, select one, and then you can do a search within that album or camera roll--and then if and only if the photo has a filename or description can you search for it. Bottom line: be sure to give your photos a proper file name and add a description.
