Shortcut for renaming files?

Hey all,
I wasn't sure where to post this but since I am a newbie ....
I made the move about a year ago to Linux with Ubuntu and then about 2 months ago to Arch Linux. The only one thing that I miss about Windows is the ability to rename files by simply highlighting them and clicking on them once more (as opposed to right clicking on the file and going through the menu to find the rename command). Is there a way to modify Gnome to be able to do this?
Thanks!

Aah !! My bad !
should have read it more carefully. Yup, in that case, F2 is the way to go.

  • Keyboard shortcut to rename files in Finder

    Hi,
    How can I create a keyboard shortcut to rename files in Finder, preferrably "F2"?
    I know I can click on the filename twice in Finder with a short delay and then I can rename it - but that's a drag if you have to rename a lot of files....
    I'm also aware of the possibility to create shortcuts in
    System Preferences -> Keyboard & Mouse -> Keyboard Shortcuts
    ...just can't figure out how to create the shortcut I need
    Thanks,
    Koinseb

    Select a file and press return to edit the name without the delay.

  • Is there a shortcut for adding file extensions?

    I have an archive of over 15,000 images, all TIFF, JPEG and Photoshop images. None of them have file extensions. They were saved back when Mac did not use extensions. Now they will not open if I just double click on them... I must add the correct extension, then it opens fine.
    It will take me FOREVER to click on each one, type in the extension, then click "Add".
    Is there a script or shortcut to name all these old files? Or shareware?
    Or at the very LEAST is there a way to turn off that annoying dialog box to confirm that I want to add the extension?
    Thanks, any feedback will be appreciated.

    I have a whole lot of very old graphic files, and thought I would try Kappy's recommendation of Renamer4Mac, combined with a Spotlight search to see how speedily one could add extensions. So did a Spotlight search on a backup folder that contains many and varied sub-folders containing many and various images. To get the old pict files I hit command-F from the top level folder, selected that folder (WHY does search have "This Mac" as the default???), and for Kind I selected Other and typed:
    Adobe Photoshop PICT file
    in the blank field. It returned a list of 961 old pict files. Launched Renamer and told it to insert the text pct, at position 1 from left, suffix only. Then dragged a batch of the files from the search results window into the top pane of the Renamer window, clicked the Rename Files button, et voila'! The files were renamed (and no confirm dialog box).
    To figure out what to put in the Kind:Other field, just do a search on Kind:Images and note the different types. Thus, something that needed the psd extension would be Adobe Photoshop file, to find tifs, it would be TIFF image. You might have some "QuickDraw picture" as an image kind, they are pict files. Plain jpegs can be brought up with Kind: JPEG image, extension jpg. And so on.

  • Sharepoint 2013 ItemAdded event receiver for renaming files is not working

    In SP 2013 I coded an event receiver that intercepts the ItemAdded event and it just renames the file.
    It is a synchronous event (I added <Synchronization>Synchronous</Synchronization> in the Elements.xml).
    This is the code:
            public override void ItemAdded(SPItemEventProperties properties)
                SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
                    try
                        OutputDebugStringA("Inside ItemAdded");
                        string szHttpUrl = properties.WebUrl + "/" + properties.AfterUrl;
                        SPWeb openedWeb = properties.Web.Site.OpenWeb(properties.Web.ID);
                        SPFile spf = openedWeb.GetFile(szHttpUrl);
                        EventFiringEnabled = false;
                        string szUrl = properties.AfterUrl;
                        szUrl = szUrl + ".renamed";
                        string szNewFileName;
                        if (szUrl.LastIndexOf('\\') != -1) szNewFileName = szUrl.Substring(szUrl.LastIndexOf('\\') + 1);
                        else if (szUrl.LastIndexOf('/') != -1) szNewFileName = szUrl.Substring(szUrl.LastIndexOf('/') + 1);
                        else szNewFileName = szUrl;
                        if (properties.ListItem != null)
                            properties.ListItem["Title"] = szNewFileName;
                            properties.ListItem.Update();
                        spf.MoveTo(szUrl);
                        EventFiringEnabled = true;
                        base.ItemAdded(properties);
                        OutputDebugStringA("Renaming to " + szUrl);
                    catch (System.Exception exception)
                        OutputDebugStringA("ItemAdded ERROR: " + exception.ToString());
    The problem is that when I upload a .txt file using Internet Explorer, just after the renaming is done, IE says that something went wrong and when I inspect the log files I see:

    So it is clear that the fact that I renamed the file is causing an issue in the SharePoint upload logic.
    As a solution what I did was to not declare it as Synchronous, but if I do it then there is another error when Sharepoint shows the Edit Properties dialog... in this case the upload is OK but when it is time to show that Edit Property dialog IE fails and
    says that the file has been already modified, or that "something went wrong".
    If I use a synchronous event I get one problem. If I use the asynchronous event I get another problem... It's very frustating and I am pretty sure that a so important API like Event Receivers should have support renaming files so I hope someone can tell
    me what I am doing wrong.
    Thanks in advance

    May be you want to consider using the following code and see if it works for you.

  • Get old item name for renamed files using TFS API

    My current tfs will be retired in next few months.I am using tfs api to create a parallel tfs on a new server from the existing one. I have folders and solutions that have been renamed. I am iterating items and based on their changetype(add, edit, delete,
    sourcerename etc), I am checking them in destination tfs.
    I am not able to get Old filename for a file, in order to use PendRename when the item that is being iterated is Delete|SourceRename or Rename.
    I tried the mentioned solution :
    https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/f9c7e7b4-b05f-4d3e-b8ea-cfbd316ef737/how-to-get-previous-path-of-renamedmoved-of-file-using-tfs-api?forum=tfsgeneral
    But, my changeset has a lot of changes and hence identifying a particular file seems difficult.
    Do we have something that interraltes two items (the deleted and renamed) ones other than the changeset, because there needs to be a uniquely identifier that associated the two items so that they may appear together in TFS history?

    Hi Fabcoder,
    As Daniel mentioned, you can migrate source control files and work items to the new TFS server by using TFS integration tools.
    If the new server has the complete history, then you can view the history of the specific file to check the pervious path. Or you can do a compare between the project in new TFS where the file located with the matched project in current TFS to check
    the differences.

  • Shortcut for renaming a created file

    Hello,
              How will you rename a file.

    Mohan,
    Command-Click the document title at the top of the Numbers Window and you will see the file's entire path. Click the item just below the filename and a Finder window will open for that folder, with the Numbers file selected. Click on the filename in the finder and change it.

  • Keyboard shortcut for exporting files is inop.

    Using 5.5 and a programmable mouse.  All of a sudden I'm getting a tiny sound when I hit the mouse button to export out of the export window...that's it.  Tried the keyboard shortcut and same problem.  Shut down and restarted..all of that...went thru the settings for the mouse and they are OK...sheesh...

    ...to clarify: the file will not export unless I hit the "export" button in the export window.  Only the "tink" sound happens if I try to use my dedicated mouse button OR the proper keyboard shortcut.

  • 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.
    thank you

    Are you talking about files on the application server.  If so, you will need to copy them into the new name and delete the old one.  Here is a sample program.
    report zrich_0001.
    parameters: d1 type localfile default '/usr/sap/TST/SYS/Data1.txt',
                d2 type localfile default '/usr/sap/TST/SYS/Data2.txt'.
    data: begin of itab occurs 0,
          rec(20) type c,
          end of itab.
    data: wa(20) type c.
    start-of-selection.
    * open and read file 1 into an internal table
      open dataset d1 for input in text mode.
      if sy-subrc = 0.
        do.
          read dataset d1 into wa.
          if sy-subrc <> 0.
            exit.
          endif.
          itab-rec = wa.
          append itab.
        enddo.
      endif.
      close dataset d1.
    * Open file 2 and copy the contents to this file
      open dataset d2 for output in text mode.
      loop at itab.
        transfer itab to d2.
      endloop.
      close dataset d2.
    * Delete file 1
      delete dataset d1.

    You can use SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE. This function is used to execute operating system command and can be used to rename a operating system file. For example you can use "mv" on UNIX or "REN" on Windows systems.

  • Problem in renaming file

    hi
    There are 2 files in a directory called
    js1.html
    js2.html
    i am reading from js1.html and making some modification to
    the data as i read and storing in js2.html
    finally i have to rename js2.html to js1.html
    i am using fileinputstream and fileoutputstream amd i am
    closing both before ranaming.
    I also am trying to delete js1.html before renaming
    as both are in the same dir
    The code i am using for renaming
    File old=new File("js2.html");
    old.renameTo(new File("js1.html");
    But this always returns false
    i am using win2k
    could anyone pls help me out with this
    thanks

    Just a guess but maybe it is returning false because you already havea file named js1.html. Trying doing this through Windows Explorer and it will spit out an error.
    What you should try is deleting js1.html first and then renaming. Presumably you don't need js1.html anymore once you make the changes so go ahead and delete it.

  • Need keyboard shortcuts for an old Power Macintosh please

    Hi all
    I’m try to copy 2 folders from the desktop of an old Apple Power Macintosh to a ZIP drive.
    The mouse on the Power Mac doesn't work, so I’ve to use keyboard shortcuts to move the folders.
    My problem is that I can’t find the right keyboard map on the web for a computer about 15 years old, and the OSX keyboard shortcuts don’t work on this computer.
    As far as I can work out the Power mac is before G3 and is a 6000 to 8000 model. If anyone knows the shortcut to find the exact software version, that will be great.
    So could anybody please suggest to me the keyboard shortcuts for the following commands:
    Open ZIP dive folder
    Move back to desktop
    Copy folder on the desktop
    Select ZIP drive folder
    Past the folder from desktop to ZIP drive.
    I can’t find any info on the web, so any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

    Under Mac OS 8 or later, you can select a file or folder in the current window (or on the desktop if no windows are open) by typing the first few letters of its name. You can also use the arrow keys. I don't remember whether these work in System 7.
    Apple-O opens a selected file or folder. Apple-W closes the current window.
    Apple-C and Apple-V are copy and paste, respectively, but I'm not sure if they'll work for copying files and folders. I'm not sure if there's a keyboard shortcut for moving files and folders.
    If you can find "Script Editor" (it might be in a folder named "Applescript"), you could use it to write a script that will move the folders. Follow these instructions:
    Find and open Script Editor. Apple-F opens the "Find" window.
    In Script Editor, enter the following:
    (Instead of XYZ and ABC, enter the names of the folders you want to copy. And instead of MyZIP, enter the name of the Zip disk.)
    tell application "Finder"
    duplicate folder "XYZ" of desktop to disk "MyZIP"
    duplicate folder "ABC" of desktop to disk "MyZIP"
    end tell
    Press Apple-R. That should copy the folders to the Zip disk.

  • Deleting & renaming files - is there a shortcut to finder?

    I am a recent convert from PC to Mac. So far so good. However, one thing starts to drive me up the wall which is deleting/renaming files in programs such as photoshop, word, excel etc.etc.
    As far as I can tell, this is only possible in the finder menu. Is this Correct? I am using a lot of folders and subfolders - sometimes 3-4 levels deep. Every time I need to change/delete a file or filename - lets say while in photoshop, I have to go to finder and click my way through several levels of folders to the actual file I need to change. This is somewhat annoying and timeconsuming.
    Question 1: is there a way to do these operations in - lets say photoshop directly?
    Question 2: If not, is there a shortcut key that would point me automatically to the file in finder where I can make the changes?
    Your input would be very helpful and save me some aggravation.
    fupe

    Hi Greg,
    Thanks for your input. You are correct as far as "save" and "save as" is concerned. Windows and Mac work the same way.
    However, as far as I can tell, in Mac you can only "delete" or "rename" a file in "finder" which forces you to open up finder and locate the file in order to delete or change it.
    In windows you can do these 2 functions directly in the program (such as photoshop, excel or words). You do not have to go to "explorer or root directory" to make these changes which I believe would be the equivalent of "finder".
    In any case, Terence solved the problem. By command clicking the name (title) of the file in any program, it opens up the directory in "finder". This way makes it easy to select the file and do the changes.

  • Automator script search document for file name, and rename file to date

    Hi all,
    I'm having a hard time with Automator... and I can't figure out how it's done!
    Searched the web for it a couple of times, spend hours with Automator already, but I guess my need is random!
    The thing is:
    I got a folder with 1066 files, all the files has random names.....
    I got a document (now it's html, but can convert it to PDF or txt or so ever....) with the coressponding random file names in the html.... some words before that there is the date the photo was taken in this format: 08/25/11
    Now I want somehow make automator search that folder each filename... match it in the document with the filename, and rename the files in the folder to the date the photo's were taken.... and that for all 1066 files.....
    anybody a great idea? Some help? I'm a real newby at Automator scrips!
    thanks

    Have you considered A Better Finder Rename 9?
    A Better Finder Rename 9: The Batch File Renamer for Mac OS X
    Otherwise, what you propose seems to be rather like carving the Pieta using a plastic butter knife. But, if you want, here's one example of a rough algorithm to start ...
    * translate the HTML to ASCII text in this format:  filename (date)
    * read one line at a time from the ASCII file
    * for each line, search the folder for the file
    * rename the file according to the (date)
    BTW, you might avoid a strict renaming according to just the date.
    Best luck with this project.

  • Batch Rename with additional "."s, drops the file extension. Request for "Keep File Extension" option...

    I NEVER name files with extra "." s in the name. I realize that all OS's (even Windows) will recognize it, but I haven't gotten out the old mindset of 8.3 filenaming... Although I do use longer names. So... I was surprised to see that when I was renaming files as per a clients naming preference to add a period within the name, the file extension is removed.
    For example: 
    original file -  2014_10_31_1643.CR2   when batch renaming to "2014.31" + sequence, drops the "CR2" extension.
    but.... if I change it to "2014_31" + sequence, the ".CR2" remains
    Since adding multiple "." is a legitimate naming convention, shouldn't the file extension remain?  Or, possibly this could be made more flexible by adding a check box "Keep file extension"
    just a thought.

    Refer to this stackexchange article:
    http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/47319/how-can-i-make-os-x-recognize-new -file-extensions
    The finder will only select the filename only for "known" file types.
