Use Metadata Title as Filename When Exporting

Is there a way to use the metadata title as the export filename when exporting ?? If not, there should be !

It already can do this. Simply go into the list of filename presets, choose Edit, and built your own preset - making sure to include "Title" from the top Metadata drop down list somewhere in your renaming pattern.

Adding sysdate to filename when exporting to csv in Apex V3.0.1 using IE6

Hi,
I have created an application item (AI_DTTIME), together with an application computation that fires on before-header that is set-up as follows:
TO_CHAR(sysdate, 'DDMMYYYY HH24:MI') ||'.'
Within the report addtributes on a page under "Report Export", within the filename, I assigned &AI_DTTIME.
When I go to test it by clicking on the link label, it seems to assign a number to the filename, such as 40.csv. Each time I clink on the link label, the filename value simply increments to the next value, i.e 41.csv
Can anyone see what I may be doing wrong or how to apply the sysdate to a filename under "Report Export".
Thanks.
Tony.

Hi Tony, Hi Andy
I have a similar functionality to achieve by adding sysdate of filename when exporting to csv, adding wthr this csv is in dev or prod,URL of this report and it is powered by xyz company
I have created an application item same as andy did and the application computation with computation item AI_DTTIME, computation point - Before Header, computation type - static assignment and computation - TO_CHAR(sysdate, 'DDMMYYYY HH24MI') ||'.'
After that in report-export filename i added the address of my application item i.e &AI_DTTIME
but when i am trying to export my report to csv the header is coming with " TO_CHAR(sysdate,'DDMMYYYY HH24MI')_' "
Can you suggest where i am wrong?

Filename when exporting from ReportViewerBean

I'm using Crystal Reports for Eclipse 2.0 in a desktop application and ReportViewerBean is used for previewing reports. The export-dialog have several file formats and they all work fine but one annoying thing is that the filename is blank, so one have to write the filename/filextension manually before exporting to file.
Is there a way in the code to specify what filename a report should get when exporting?
I'm probably missing something here...
I've searched through the forums and code examples but have not found anything about this.
Thanks in advance
// Uhlen

To be clear, are you looking to have the Save As field in the export dialog box populated with a report name when you export the report?
When exporting from the viewer it isn't possible to do this, however if you export directly using the SDK, you can set the report name and path to whatever you like and automatically export to that location.

Keep Red Filename when exporting to QT

I have a lot of Red Footage which I need to trim/color correct in FCP. I use log and transfer window to ingest the footage and then Export > Quick Time to 1080p.
The problem is, I have to maintain the original filename for future reference.
Is there a way to keep the original file name when exporting?
When I export, it ask me for the file name as "save as" and it puts "Sequence 1" by default in. Is there any way to override that and put the original file name in?

Yes, thank you, I know about the voodoo to get things out to Compressor. Must be a sequence in the main sequence folder in the bin to work voodoo thing.
I think my problems are systemic as now compressor will not launch. I have been having nothing but problems since I installed 10.4.10. First all my Office programs would not launch then I actually installed OS 10.4.10 several times rebuilding my system by archive and installing 10.4.8 and then using the combo installer from there. I thought I had a stable system but I guess I will have to revert to 10.4.9 or reinstall compressor or Quick Time or FCP Studio or.......ARRGGHHHH?
I though that the dialog was amusing in the extreem! It wasn't "Sequence has no media" it was:
"No Movie in File" Of course there isn't any movie in the file you didn't put the movie into a file....sheesh. Anyway I'll post again.
PITA

Adding zeros to filenames when exporting in Lightroom "Filename-001" "Fliename-002" etc?

Hi, does anyone know if it is possible to add zeros before numbers when exporting files eg: "Filename-001" "Fliename-002" etc? The default setting is "Filename-1" "Filename-2" ect. The reason I want to have zeros in the number sequence is that certain software will display files in the wrong numerical sequence eg: "Filename-1" "Filename-10" Filename-11" etc and then "Filename-2" after "Filename-19". If zeros are added the files will always be displayed in the correct sequence "Filename-001" "Filename-002"... "Filename-009" "Filename-010" "Filename-011" etc.

Just customize the filename using the template editor, and use the Sequence token set to the number of leading zeroes you want, as shown.

Unable to create "filename" when exporting to SD disk from iphoto 7.1

I recently upgraded from iphoto 4 to 7. I did do because when I tried to export to a SD disk, I kept getting the unable to create message on various photos. I did the upgrade to 7 and I am still seeing this error message. Has anyone else run across this one?

George:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Try exporting to a folder on the Desktop and then copy the folder to the SD memory card. Also make sure there are no unusual/unsupported characters in the file names, i.e. anything other than 0-9, a-z, _, -. The format of the memory cards, PC based, does not accept those unusual characters. If there are a lot of special characters in the file names, you can batch change the title of the files with the Photos->Batch Change menu option. Then select the option during export to use the title as the new file name.

TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Retain Filename when Export Trim

I often use the trim function in Quicktime X.
To view a video, I open it up and sometimes I need to make it shorter.
The I use trim and export back to the folder I had the original clip so that it over writes it.
My problem is, that I need the original file name. When I export, it always wants to save it as "untitled".
So I have to go back-and out of QT click on the clip in the folder>copy and then paste in the export window.
Lot of work. (My filenames are 16 Digits-to long to type every time)
Any way to set it to the original file name?

To be clear, are you looking to have the Save As field in the export dialog box populated with a report name when you export the report?
When exporting from the viewer it isn't possible to do this, however if you export directly using the SDK, you can set the report name and path to whatever you like and automatically export to that location.

Illustr. CS5 Appending -01 onto filenam when export .jpg

Hi, I'm having two really annoying problems when I export images from Illustrator CS5.
Problem no.1
Anytime I export an image file, Illustr always appends -01 onto the end of the filename even into an empty folder. Never had this problem before. I'm on Lion. Anyone think it may have to do with that?
Prob no.2
Also, is there a way to make Illustrator default to having the "Use Artboard" checked the Export dialogue?? It's so annoying having to check that everytime I need to export an image, which for producing comps is ALL the time.

You know what,... you're absolutely right. It wouldn't make sense when there are several artboards. Right now I'm just hammering on this project and the sketch phase is just taking forever, using [one] artboard for each file. Just needed to quickly pump out a bunch of comps. [probably a better way to do it].
It makes sense that exporting artboards should be numbered for you BUT if exporting only one, you'd think the system would be smart enough NOT to throw a number on the end. Whatevs.
I should have thought of this before I posted, but I just remembered I could have been using the save-for-web dialogue. THAT remembers exactly where you last exported to. Yea, Mac has recent places too, shoulda thought of that as well...
Theyve obviously thought this thru more than me... Thanks a million for your help!!

Title crawl skips when exporting to Quicktime or DVD --

I am working on a project right now where the end titles call for a credit roll. I have been able to do it just fine and everthing looks good in FCP and it even looks good when I export it to a .dv file.
The problem is then when I take that .dv file and try to make a DVD of it, or export it to a smaller QT file: right before the credits roll, I get a single frame flash of the credits sequence in mid-crawl which then resets and the credits begin scrolling normally. Then, a couple of other times into the title crawl, it skips again for only a frame or two.
This error is NOT in the .dv master or in the original FCP edit -- it only happens when I try to put it into another format. Anyone know why this is happening or ho to stop it? I'm hoping someone does. Here's an example of it for visual reference:

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.9)
Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Like I said, I don't have time to do this in DVDSP -- I've honesly never even used that program even though I've had it on my computer for years.
I just want to drag and drop the file into iDVD and call it a day. This is purely a "thank you" piece for a charity group that I'm not getting a dime for, and I don't have the hours and hours to spend on learning DVDSP, authoring, creating a menu, etc.
If you can just tell me what format is ideal for a DVD movie to drag and drop to iDVD, that would be super helpful.
Thanks

Errors when using "Limit file size to" when exporting images

When I try to use the "limit file size to" option in Export, I often get at least one image that doesn't export, and I get a dialogie box like the image attached here:
As I am exporting in batches, it geats really messy and risky too!I have tried various file size options but that doesn't seem to be a factor.
Any ideas on solving this, or is it an unfixed Lr bug?!
thanks in advance

I can't reproduce it here, so you could try trashing the preferences file http://members.lightroomqueen.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/1148/198/how-do-i- delete-the-lightroom-preferences-file
If that doesn't do the trick, post it on the Official Feature Request/Bug Report Forum

Filenames when exporting

When I export images or batch export images, Fireworks always
renames
them with all lowercase letters. I don't want this, I want it
to keep
the same format as the original file. I can't see anyway to
do this,
does anyone know how to cure this?
Cheers,
Steve

You can save as BUT you wont' get the same file size. Save or
Save AS
will retain or reserve file space for meta data. So your
files will be
about 13 k larger than if you had exported them. Also, if you
save as
BEFORE you export, the meta data is not stripped during
export (a known
bug).

Filter using "List" is not working when Exporting Data

Hi All,
We have built a BI publisher report with 10 different layouts, each layout is corresponds to one separate report. In one layout we have one table view and "List" tool bar to select the required data. When we select a particular value in the list, the report correctly displays data of the selected value. But when we export this data to an excel sheet, it downloads the entire data irrespective of the selected value into the excel. Is there any way to export only the selected data?
E.g.
Consider we have a list for Year which has 4 years as values.
2008
2009
2010
2011
When we click on 2008, the report in interactive mode displays the values w.r.t 2008 but when we export it to excel, we see the data of all four years.
Appreciate your support in advance.
Thanks,
Karthick

How do I use parentheses instead of dashes when exporting in Lightroom?

I don't always want to replace a photo without warning. Sometimes I like to see the photos side by side. Windows convention uses parantheses for different versions of an image, which keeps the jpegs together and separate from tiffs or other raw images. But Lightroom uses a dash so I get, for example, 20120101-1.jpg. I need it to be 20120101 (1).jpg

You can't.

Retain custom order in albums when exporting to different iPhoto library?

Hi all.
To ease resource consumption, I'm placing many of my 20,000 iPhoto9 items into a new iPhoto9 library.
I have many albums with pictures in custom order.
Any recommendations on how to retain that order when copying the photos/ albums to the new library?
If I copy the files to wherever, quit iPhoto and reopen in the new library for import, they files are imported to the new iPhoto library in whatever order they are listed in the finder, which is not the custom order I created in the album in the original album.
Don't want to waste all the time I spent putting them in certain order.
Many thanks!

You can edit posts for up to 15 minutes after posting.
You're not actually moving albums from one Library to another. Your exporting groups of photos to the FInder. Then import them to iPhoto. There's no connection between the two libraries.
The problem with this wirkflow is that you lose more than your custom sort. At the very lest you lose the ability to revert to original for edited photos, and the non-destructive editing feature. Depending on how you're exporting you may also be losing a lot of metadata.
You could try use iPhoto Library Manager which will move albums from one Library to another directly, with all the versions and metadata intact. I'm not sure that it will preserve a custom sort, but you could drop the makers a line and enquire from them.
Other alternatives:
Duplicate your existing library, and then remove the pics you don't want from the new version.
Finally, you're using less than 10% of iPhoto's capacity and a 20k library is quite small these days. What is the problem you're trying to solve?
Regards
TD
If you want to keep using your custom workflow, create a sequential title for the pics in the Albums, export using the File -> Export command, choosing to use the Title as filename. Then import to the new Library and sort on Title.
