Sequential Numbering on Import?

Does anyone know if the Sequential Numbering option, in the LR 3 Import window, have the ability to remember the last sequential number used and then restart at the next sequential number when you load a new card or import new images? Photo Mechanic has this ability and so does Aperture. In the new LR 3 a window comes up to give you the ability to tell the system what number you want to start with but after the import of images it does not change to the new sequential number that it should be after loading a group of images. It actually stays at the number you input although it does number the new photo files correctly, in a running sequence. My reason for wanting to do this is that I started with PM and have always used an ongoing running number system that I hope to continue with LR. It seems all the necessary elements are in place for LR 3 to do what I want but for some reason it doesn't' go all the way and recall the last used number of a sequence. I'm hoping I'm just missing a check mark somewhere that somebody can tell me about.

You don't normally have to change these numbers. These are starting numbers for the {Import#} and {Image#} tokens respectively.
Whenever you import something using these token for renaming at import, these increment automatically: {Import#} by one for each import session and {Image#} by one for each imported image. Incrementation spans multiple sessions.
What you need is to set up a filename template in Import that contains the {Image#} token.
NOTE: Due to a bug in LR 3.x, avoid using the other {Sequence#} token, which like the {Image#} token, but does not span multiple sessions, but rather is initialized at each import with the "Start number" that you set in import dialog. Make sure the "Start number" is set to 1, even if you don't have the {Sequence#} token.

Sequential numbering of imported scanned images in Aperture 2.1.4?

I have a large number of old photographs which I want to import into Aperture 2.1.4. via a scanner, (Lexmark P4350) and I would like them to be sequentially numbered preferably into the Version Name field but any field would do. At the moment they are kind of numbered as "Scan 01" "Scan 02" etc., but this only applies to each session I do—going back to "Scan 01" for the next session. Is there any way that this can be achieved so that all the imported images are sequentially numbered? I did wonder whether or not an Automator script would do it but I have not worked out how to use Automator! I am using Image Capture to scan and import into Aperture. Any help would be great. Thanks

This should be extremely easy to do with a custom name template after import into Aperture - you can choose to rename just the version or the file names as well. There are many different templates you can set up and each one containing a sequence will retain it's own count and pick up where it left off.
This post is for export but it works the same way for version and file-renaming, you can do it at the time of import or after using the metadata batch change function.

Reset sequential numbering when importing photos

I'm importing photos with a custom name. I'm trying to get the image #0001 to reset starting at 1. I cancelled the import the first time, so of course LR is now starting the import at a hgher sequential number. Somethng simple please. Any kind of workaround that lets me enjoy the vacation photos and not blow my weekend in front of a computer! Thanks. I see people posting the same question, but haven't found an answer.

I would suggest finishing the import if you haven't already, then select all the photos in this set, and then go to the Library menu: rename, and choose "custom name - sequence," and be sure to enter 1 as start number.
eta: you can also change the start number from the import window if you've chosen one of the options that includes "sequence."

Photos recently changed from sequential numbering to date/timestamp. When I import into apps for editing they are out of order. What can be done to change back to sequential numbering instead of date/timestamp?

The date information is taken from the camera which writes it to the file. This needs to be set to the correct date and time in the camera itself.
The order the images are shown in the Library mode is set by clicking on the sort button in the tool bar, which if not showing can be activated from view, tool bar. There are different sort orders that can be applied including sorting by file name. You can also sort by dragging the images to the order you wish them to appear in by selecting user order.

Changing Profile option 'Sequential Numbering' at Site Level

Hi -
I need some input regarding a change that I am planning to make to fix the following error in Order Import:
"Your profile option does not allow automatic numbering.
Please ask your system administrator to change the sequential numbering profile."
At our site, we are not using Automatic Numbering for any types of orders, RMAs etc. These numbers are provided by the legacy system, which populates the OE interface tables. Right now, the Profile Option "Sequential Numbering" is set as follows:
Site: Not Used
Application: Order Management - Partially Used
Responsibility: Order Management User/ Super User - Partially Used
I have found that if I change the Site profile to 'Partially Used', I don't get this error.
How will this change affect other applications like AR, AP, OKC, OTL etc? What do we have to be careful about? Do we need to test anything else? Any feedback will be appreciated.
Thanks

EDI inbound(Order) program had been successfully Reading data from the Flat file placed in the inbound folder and Inserting the data correctly into the Interface tables and automatically firing the Order Import Program. How-ever Order import program was failing to create an order giving a error message like
‘Your profile option does not allow automatic numbering.
Please ask your system administrator to change the sequential
numbering profile.
I tried running the Order import Program manually after inserting the very same data in to the interface Tables from PLSQL developer. And the order was getting created successfully.
To debug the issue further what I did was - Disabled the “Order Import” Concn program, placed the data file in the inbound folder and ran the EDI Order Inbound Program. The idea was to compare the entries in the interface tables between the one inserted by the EDI program and ourselves from PLSQL developer. The Data seemed to be the same. Then I enabled the “order Import” Conc Program and ran the same for the very same entry inserted by the EDI inbound program and the Order got created successfully….!
The responsibility was the culprit…!
EDI Inbound is run from ECE Super User and Manual Order Import from OM Super user…
Now order is getting created Successfully from e-Com Resp through EDI Inbound after setting that Profile Value to "Always Used".

Ipad form ....help needed please. Clear form after email as read only and sequential numbering

Hi
i am a complete novice at this however this is what I want to achieve.
i Have a paper duplicate report sheet that I want to get electronically, I want to be able to add sequential numbers to each report and be able to email the report to the client from a email field in the form
so far I have so I have created the pdf form, I have a button that runs a JavaScript that will hide the submit button and then send to the clients email and to bcc myself so I have a copy of the report also. This has been tested and works
i Am struggling with sequential numbering and once the form has been emailed it's un-ditable as the JavaScript has converted it to read only for emailing which is good as it can't be edited. But Is there a way on my submit button to email the report as read only and then clear all form fields in the report ready for filling with the next sequential number?
I Have had a good look sound for a resolution to this but am struggling
many thanks in advance for any feedback
paul

Hi Paul,
I presume that you are using the desktop version of Acrobat Pro to author the form.
I will move this discussion to the PDF Forms forum so that the experts in the forum can answer your question.
Please note that the Reader/Acrobat DC mobile apps (for iOS, Android, Windows Phone, etc.) have limited JavaScript support.
JavaScript for Reader Mobile API Reference (iOS)
You may be able to make the form work as you want in the desktop version of Adobe Reader/Acrobat Reader DC. However, some functionality (e.g adding a sequence number to each PDF) will not work in the mobile apps due to the limited JavaScript support. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Is there a Plug-In that automates sequential numbering of an independent text element?

Is there a Plug-In that will enable automated sequential numbering of a particular item of text, independent of any of the other InDesign cues? Have some very large instructional book documents that have a main numeric element that is sequential and independent from page numbering or anything else that REALLY NEEDS to be automated. If nothing exists off the shelf how much would it cost for someone to created this software for me?

Found this link via Google. I have CS6 and it looks like this, don't know about CC.

Handle multiple material numbers as import parameter in a function module

Hello Folks,
I want to handle multiple material numbers as import parameters.. I have tried using table types but having problem while reading the data....
My requirement is user will input say 10 materials , now i need to get all the information for that particular material ..
I am unable to use for all entries as it is saying that it is not internal table... I have found table types which is having sigon , option, low and high fields but user doesn't want it... He wants to enter only materials... Currently am using this MD_T_MATNR(table type)
I am stuck up here..
Appreciate any kind of help.
Regards,
Raj

Hi,
it looks like you are on a good way, just something little is missing. Type MD_T_MATNR is suitable for your issue. I have tried it and probably your problem is that You have to use
SELECT ... FOR ALL ENTRIES IN it_matnr WHERE mara~matnr EQ it_matnr~table_line.
instead of
SELECT ... FOR ALL ENTRIES IN it_matnr WHERE mara~matnr EQ it_matnr~matnr.
In this example I suppose that a name of your variable of type MD_T_MATNR is it_matnr. Problem is that table line is not structure, but data element, therefore You have to use ~table_line instead of ~matnr.
Hope it helps.

Adding sequential numbers to a slide show using Lightroom 4.4?

How do you add sequential numbers to a slide show using Lightroom 4.4? I want images to show sequentially with each having a specific number such as 1 of 25, 2 of 25, 3 of 25 and so on. Please advise.

Sorry, that computer is not connected to the internet right now- husband is using wifi to watch World Cup. Here's a picture from my phone. If it's too hard to read I can take a screen shot in an hour or so.
Thank you both in advance for your help.

Sequential numbering for pdf form

I am trying to find out how to have sequential numbering of a pdf form that will be accessible on a shared drive. I need a new number assigned each time it is opened. Please help!

Hi,
There is not a way for the person filling out the form to see such a number the instant they fill out the form. If the form e-mails to the respondent with a copy of their responses however, the e-mail includes text indicating which response number their submission has counted up to. (If you also receive e-mail receipts of each submission, you would see the same info.)
So, for instance, you and the respondent would see, at the top of the e-mail, something like:
"The form <your form name here> has a new submission.
Total Responses: 238"
I hope that helps,
Brian

Making sequentially numbered forms in InDesign

I am a prepress designer and I have a 2 part NCR form which needs to be sequentially numbered (1-xxxx) in the top right corner.
I used to send out any forms that needed numbering because I thought I could not do it in house until today. I was told by another store that I can look into Variable Data through InDesign and print out these NCR forms on my digital press with the numbering correct in the top corner. I know how to use other Adobe programs but not InDesign.
Can someone please point me on a direction i should be researching to accomplish this project? thanks!

I do this all the time using Data Merge, do forms, 4up and 8up Raffle tickets, etc.
First set-up you numbers by using data fill in Excel, (single column for 1 number) export as text, for some reason Data Merge doesn't like my excel text files and requires me to open in text edit and save as text again.
Set-up you data merge cell(s), link your data
Export your merged file.
Yes the files can be large, but you have just saved the process of sending your forms to a place to crash # them @ $25 min. run.
For short run consec #ing, this is great, but I've even done 8up 11x17 raffle tickets with 10,000 #'s (usually break the file in 2 or 3 units), when a fast turnaround on color laser was required. You need a fast processor to do something like this.

Sequential numbering using Office for Mac

I have Office for MAC. Is there an easy way to create raffle tickets with sequential numbers?

First, uninstall the software responsible for installing these extensions:
com.logmein.driver.LogMeInSoundDriver          1.0.0
com.squirrels.driver.AirParrotSpeakers          1.8
com.rim.driver.BlackBerryUSBDriverInt          0.0.68
If removing the software and extensions doesn't solve the problem, then you are probably correct about the GPU:
The problem is likely due to the discreet GPU failing. Download gfxCardStatus 2.3 and use it to disable the GPU. This is a temporary workaround until you get your motherboard replaced.

Sequential Numbering (Ex: Invoices) and #-Up per Sheet

I have a 3 part NCR Invoice which measures 5.5x8.5. In the bottom left corner I need to put sequential numbering beginning with 31677 and continuing on 1,000 times. I am going to copy this sheet and put it 4-up on 11x17 sheet size. Is there anyway i can have Acrobat automatically number the forms correctly? if not, is there a plug-in or another program that will allow me to do this? thanks!

I don't know how to do this in Acrobat, but I could do it in FileMaker Pro in no time. If I only wanted paper copy I could do this in FrameMaker for output into a pdf file. The advantage FileMaker Pro has is that it could used to store the Invoice data if it was the sort of information you needed to keep track of.

[Solve] Bash: Rename file in folder to sequential numbers saving path

I have a folder with many subfolders with many files. I want to rename all files to sequential numbers (0001.jpg, 0002.jpg, .0003,jpg ...) but i want to save the path. I mean that the files should not be saved in the root directory (where i launched the script), but I want them to remain in original subdirectorys. How can i do this?

If you want to specify $PWD, just call the script with an argument of '.' to point it at PWD.
cypherinside wrote:

It's simple recursion. You don't want to rename directories, you want to process the contents of the directory in the same way you're processing the current directory.
cypherinside wrote:
printf -v dest '%s/%04d.jpg' "$1" "$(( ++i ))"
Stores in dest... what? I assume that %s is a string as in C language, infact you give "$1" as argument (but why?). And I assume that "$((++i))" is like i=$((i+1)). Is it right?
It's the bash equivalent of sprintf(3).
cypherinside wrote:
[[ $1 ]] || exit 1
I don't understand.
If $1 doesn't exist (i.e. you passed no arguments to the script), then refuse to run and exit immediately with an error.
You weren't really clear in your requirements, so I wrote it as I interpreted it. If you want to reset the numbering for each directory, scope 'i' locally:
#!/bin/bash
walk() {
local -i i=0
for src in "$1"/*; do
if [[ -d $src ]]; then
walk "$src"
continue
fi
printf -v dest '%s/%04d.jpg' "$1" "$(( ++i ))"
mv "$src" "$dest"
done
[[ $1 ]] || exit 1
walk "$1"
