SUGGESTION: export with preset - custom subfolder name

i've got various export presets set up in LR; for exporting to flickr, exporting for forums, exporting for print etc.  however, one thing that bugs me is that –at least as far as i can see– the export preset requires me to 'hardwire in' the name of the folder [or subfolder] that that preset exports to.
ideally i'd like either:
* to have the ability to create a preset where LR would throw up an OS standard open/save dialogue asking me where to save the exported image/s to
or even better:
* be able to dynamically create subfolder names at export time.  for example.  my "flickr" preset exports to a folder called "flickr formatted".  at present every image i export using this preset just ends up in that folder and i then have to manually sort them into subfolders.  in the preset setup dialogue, i can tick "put in subfolder" and then fill in a name, but that's a bit pointless, as it's just as 'hardwired' as the main folder name.
it would be nice if i could tick "put in subfolder" and then enter a PHP style dynamic subfolder name, such as "%Y-%M-%-%D" to create dynamically named subfolders and sort my exports by date.
how about it adobe?

yes. i've seen that option.  but wouldn't that require you to select the folder each time you exported? that would soon become tiresome.
what i want is an option to have the preset dynamically generate the folder name [probably based somehow on current date]. then, each day's export session would be placed in its own subfolder, without having to:
A: define the export folder each time
or
B: manually sort photos into subfolders afterwards

  • Export With Presets Issues

    The other day we noticed that in one of our classrooms, some of our machines don't respond to Menue>Export with Presets. No fly out menue no nothing. It seems random and its on both Mac's and Pc's. Upgrading didn't help. Is there a setting we don't have correct? Any ideas?
    Doug

    The short answer would be no. However, researching this idea did lead to the answer. As a school, we "encourage" our students to store their work on portable drives rather than on our computers. We also told them to set LR up to "store presets with catalogue". That way when they move to another machine - or home - their catalogues, presets, etc move with them. It seems though, that LR only applies this to your personal presets and doesn't store the default presets with your catalogue. The result is that when you check "store presets with Catalogue" you unwittingly dump the default presets from your catalogue.
    I'm thinking I may have to jump over to the other forum and suggest this feature be re thought.
    Thank you for your help,

  • Export With Preset to X-Rite problem

    Using LR 4; first time using LR at all.
    I did one "Export With Preset to X-Rite" and it worked. Now, with different lighting, I tried to Export with Preset and it doesn't give me the option for a new name, it just asks if I want to overwrite the existing one.
    Am I missing something? I should be able to have multiple profiles.
    Thanks.

    Pages' RTF export is somewhat limited. This seems to be one of the non-supported features.
    I am pretty sure that you found the best solution exporting to Word, and then to RTF from Word.
    Apple seem to appreciate feedback on this kind of things at http://www.apple.com/feedback/pages.html .

  • Make Export With Previous track Export With Preset

    If I do an Export, then do an Export With Previous, the Export With Previous uses my settings from my export, as I expect. But if I do an Export With Preset, then do an Export With Previous, the export uses my settings from my last Export (however long ago that was) rather than my Export With Previous from moments ago.
    I'd like to see Export With Previous respect Export With Preset selections.

    I still see this behavior with LR3b2/OS X.. just accidently used an old one time export setting from a few days back [and couldn't find where the file would up at first as a result] because I wasn't expecting "Export With Previous" not to have pciked up that I used "Export With Preset..." from the File menu 2 minutes earlier.. so a little bump

    Hello:

    This does not help solve my problem.

  • Output each page with a custom file name

    We have 150 photos to place in an Indesign file with Data Merge. Each page has: the photo, the name and surname.
    Is it possible the export these pages as separate files but named with the file name of the photo?
    gert

    Sure it's possible. Try this -- don't forget to adjsut the export path and PDF preset name.
    exportPath = "c:/temp";  // Adjust to fit!
    exportPreset = "My Favourite Preset"; // Adjust to fit!
    for (p=0; p < app.activeDocument.pages.length; p++)
      processPage(app.activeDocument.pages[p]);
    function processPage (a_page)
      var i, link;
      for (i=0; i<a_page.allGraphics.length; i++)
        if (a_page.allGraphics[i].itemLink.isValid)
          linkname = File(a_page.allGraphics[i].itemLink.filePath);
          app.pdfExportPreferences.pageRange = a_page.name;
          app.activeDocument.exportFile (ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, File(exportPath+'/'+linkname.name.replace(/(\.[^.]+)$/, '.pdf')), false, app.pdfExportPresets.item(exportPreset));

  • Custom File Name-Original File Number doesn't work. Why?

    I want to export and rename some files with the "Custom File Name-Original File Number" option. Yet this doesn't seem to work, and I wondered what I might be doing wrong. The filename will only rename as the custom text.
    The sample file name shown underneath has a dash after the custom text bit, but then the extension only eg Newname-.tif
    I am now using LR 4.2 but I seem to remember doing this renaming OK with an earlier version (though I can't remember which). This suggest that either there is a problem with this specific version or that I have something set differently to the way I had it initially. I am hoping the latter is the case. Any suggestions as to how to fix this would be welcome!

    I am sorry to report that i don't know how to create a screenshot. However, what I am getting, exact;ly is this:
    From Library grid view: F2 or Library>Rename Photo
    Then little screen appears with heading Rename Photo:
    File Naming> set to Custom Name - Original File Number
    Custom Text> NewFilenameHere
    Example: NewFilenameHere-.tif
    Clicking on OK changes the filename to just the custom text without the original file number. Original File name shows in metadata eg DSC01129-Edit.tif
    The only way i seem to be able to get the original file number with the custom text is to include it manually as part of the custom text.

  • Import, Export and Preset settings from TimeMachine

    I'd like to recover only my Import, Export and Preset settings of Aperture 3.0 from my backup disk using TimeMachine. Can someone pls guide me on what files to look for and where to find them? (I just reformatted my MBP and hence this query).
    Thanks in advance.

    You will find the setting in your User Library in the folder
         Your Home Directory > Library > Application Support > Aperture
    Everything with "preset" in its name might be interesting to you.
    Reveal the User Library by going to the Finder main menu bar, select "Go" and hold down the "option" key, until you see the Library in the drop down menu. Select it.
    In the Library Finder window navigate to the "Application Support" folder, then "Aperture".
    Drag the Aperture folder to the Finder Sidebar for easy access, then open Time Machine.
    Go back in Time to the time you want to restore from, then restore the "Aperture Folder"  to your Desktop and copy the files you need to your Library.

    With this code, just connect to exchange server (ews) and send a mail.
    How to change my code ?
    private void t() {
    const string subjectBody = "test email ";

    const string password = "password";
    const string domain = "domain";

    With this code, can connect to a exchange server (smtp) and send a mail, with a custom display name.
    System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient smtpc = new System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient( "exchangesrv" );
    System.Net.Mail.MailMessage mm = new System.Net.Mail.MailMessage( "CustomDisplayName <[email protected]>", "[email protected]", "test email", "test email" );
    smtpc.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential( "username", "password", "domain" );
    smtpc.Send( mm );

    That won't work the way you want it in EWS, like when you send via Outlook or OWA when you send a messages via EWS it's submitted via the Exchange store so the Sender Address will be resolved back to the default Reply address for whatever account your trying
    to send as. If you need some sort of custom display name I would suggest you stick to SMTP or possible create a Transport Agent that would rewrite the address before its sent externally.

  • Presentation Layer - Custom Display Name

    We use Oracle Datamarts as Data Source thus in our Repository a lot of information is just routed through. Of course we configured the joins in the physical layer and added some hierarchies, joins and calculated measures to the business model.
    The question is now where to set the right column names which the end users will see (translation from technical column names to business column names). Normally I read that the naming should be done in the business model and then can be copied to the presentation model.
    Is there any reason why not to leave alle the technical column names through to the presentation model and just to do the naming with the Custom Display Names? This had the advantage that we could rename the column display names and the reports never had to be modified.
    Thank you for your thoughts and input

    The main reason could be this:
    If the attribute has been used in multiple subject areas, there is no need to go each subject areas and rename them, instead a one time rename in Business Modeling layer will do the work. Eg. Suppose there is a common dimension, say, Supplier/Customer/Time which are used in multiple subject areas. Renaming in Business modeling layer will be easier than going to each subject areas and rename them in presentation.
    Hope this helps..
    Thanks,

  • Using Customized group name fields in Live Office

    Hello everybody,
    I've created a Crystal Reports based on a BEx Query and including a costcenter hierarchy. Now I want to add this report in Excel sheet via Live Office. I did this according to the official HowTos provided by Ingo Hilgefort. Now I've following issue. When I choose the data for the selected fields in Live Office, I could manage to insert the Live Office object into my report but the display of the cost center hierarchy nodes doesn't comply with the display in Crystal Reports. There I've defined a group with a customized group name field (costcenter.medium description) Live Office seems to use only the costcenter node ID.

  • Custom host-name for web application SharePoint 2010

    I am facing a weird behavior. Can anyone help me regarding this?
    Steps performed:
    1. Created a web application using custom host name.
    2. Created a site collection using "Blank" site template. Nothing issues.
    3. Created another site collection using "Publishing" site template. Authentication prompt came multiple times. IIS logs/Fiddler/HTTP Watch are full with 401 entries.
    4. Added the custom host-name with web server IP in local desktop hosts file(which is in intranet domain). Prompt issue fixed.
    5. Authentication mode set as NTLM. 

    Hi DDasgupta,
    After you created a web application with a custom host name, if you got a prompt for the user and you may face the following issues:
    There is continuous prompt for the credentials
    HTTP 401.1 error
    This shows that there is a problem with the Loopback configuration. This situation should occur only when we access the application from the server machine.
    For fixing the problem, we have to disable the Loopback value inside the registry.Open the Registry Editor (regedit.exe) and locate the following key:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa, and create a new Key Value of type DWORD inside
    it and set the value to 1.

  • Exporting images with subfolders by album name

    Hello,
    I have a project with approx 800 images, organized in 12 different albums. Now I want to export all the images in a folder, which should contains 12 subfolders named with the original album names.
    For example, I have a project named "friends" which contains 12 albums named "Emma", "Laura", "Tom", etc... A want to export in order to have this subfolders:
    Friends/Emma
    Friends/Laura
    Friends/Tom
    I tried the export-versions option "subfolder format", but I'm not able to do that.
    Who can help me?
    Thank you,
    Paolo

    One last idea
    you could color label the pics.
    For example all images of Emma in the album "Emma" get a red label, all images of Laura get a blue label, ....
    There a seven colors available like in Finder. This perfectly matches with your needs^^ Seven persons get a different color each, one person gets no color. So you have 8 criterias. Lucky you, not having nine people :P
    Click on your project with all 800 pics and their different color labels, select all and export them.
    Aperture now will give each exported image the same color label as it has in Aperture. After export has finished you can easily put the images in a corresponding folder based on the color label...
    Have fun

  • Any way to export with multiple presets at once?

    Hi! Is there any way to export with multiple presets at once? I do a lot of product photography, usually clients send me around 5 to 10 pieces to photograph, and from each photo requires to be exported to about 7 different formats and sizes for different uses. I have a preset for each export, but this requires multiple clicks per export, select the preset, the destination folder, etc.....   and at the end I end taking about 1 hour to just export files when if I could just select 1 time a folder of presets and the destination folder just once, then it will take no time to get all oft those exports.
    Thanks!

    Some of those other photographers have assistants they can task with doing the drudgery.
    I would describe what you're wanting scripted multiple exporting, not multiple export presets, because multiple-exports don't necessarily rely on presets, just initiating an Export and clicking on various things for each one.
    I assume you have a preset set for each of the 7 format-size-uses variations, and then most of the time consuming part is setting the Choosing the destination folder that gets mirrored to DropBox?  You can copy/paste most of the path into the Folder address area after clicking Choose.
    Without knowing what your master-photo folders and dropbox-mirror folder names and organization are it's hard to know if you've thought of all the shortcuts you might use or if things are organized in the most efficient manner.
    If you're on Windows, maybe something like AutoHotKey macros would help with what you're doing.

Maybe you are looking for
