Viewing File names of photos

Hi,
Can anyone tell me if it is possible to view the file names of photos your are viewing in the photo library on an Apple Ipod Touch?? Even if it is not available in the standard photo library, is it possible to do with a 3rd party app? I want to be able to show people pictures on an Ipod touch (or similar) and, if they want a copy of a certain photo I have taken, note down the file number so that I can print it off when i get home.
Surely this must be able to be done, it's not like the filename is hidden away, it's the **** filename!! hehe
Cheers

i have an app called 'ePhotoChest' which allows you to name the photos after you've imported them. slightly tedious but would work for you. someone else may know of a different app that does what you want.

  • Viewing file names in vlc in ipad

    Hi .. I'm not sure if the topic made sense.. Here is what Im trying to do ..
    Say if I'm copying bunch of episodes from a series or movies and copy to vlc via itunes, when i try to open vlc and pick any episode, it only shows me first few letters of the file. Its quite common that all the files starts with same name..(eg. Naruto_Episode or Friends_Season_ )
    Is there any way to view file name and then select it accordingly ? OR is there any other software which is out there I can use for this purpose
    I spent some amount of time in renaming every files before i copied them to iPad.I dont want to do that everytime ..
    Any suggestions / Thoughts ?
    Thanks in Advance

    Completely agree! 
    What were the developers thinking when they hid info as basic as file name from users once imported.  Even mom/pop videos like a hockey high lights vid might have 15-20 vid clips coming in at random times and different sources.
    To make users suffer with this crippled GUI just has to be one of those decisions you cynically think were made for $$$$ reasons...
    ie cripple a useful cheaper tool like iMovie so users with even modest projects has to buy/learn the more expensive tool.  
    Thanks apple!

  • File names for photos on iPad?

    How do find the file name for photos in iPhoto on the iPad?

    To the best of my knowledge, you can't do it on the iPad. But after syncing, you can just click on a given photo in iPhoto and the name will appear in the "title" field in the Information box on the left-hand side of the iPhoto window.
    (Make sure you have that little icon of an "i" in a circle checked in the bottom left corner next to the search bar, or you won't see the Information pane.)

  • View file names under images?

    In iPhoto, the titles of all imported images were set to the file names and it was therefore possible to have the file names displayed under every image.
    In Photos, titles can be viewed by selecting View > Metadata > Titles, but all titles are empty on newly imported images. There seems to be an option to view the file name as a separate field, by selecting View > Metadata > Referenced file. However, this option does nothing. But when I search for a file name, the correct images show up, so Photos obviously keeps track of the file names somehow.
    So, how can I view the file names under every image, or import the file names into the titles?

    OK, thanks.
    I dug around a little and this definitely seems to be a bug in how the iPhoto library is converted to a Photos library. iPhoto didn't just display file names under the images. Rather, on import, iPhoto actually sets the image titles to the file names minus the file extensions (e.g. ".jpg"). But those titles, as well as the titles manually set in iPhoto, are not imported properly into the Photos library.
    I located the Photos library database. It's in the library package > Database > apdb > Library.apdb. The file is in SQLite format and can be browsed and edited with e.g. "sqlitebrowser" (http://sqlitebrowser.org/).* In it, I found that there is a table called RKMaster, that holds information about all original images. RKMaster has an attribute called "name" that contains all the original image titles. This is not the same as the file name, which is a separate "fileName" attribute in the same table, which in my case contains the same information as the "name" attribute, but with file extensions.
    Then there is another table, RKVersion. This table contains information about the different versions of all images and this information is the one actually being displayed when you use the application. RKVersion has attributes for "name" and "fileName" as well. In my Photos library, "name" is empty for all my newly imported images, but "fileName" has all the correct file names with file extensions. If I edit the database and insert something in the "name" attribute for an image, the name is then displayed as an image title in Photos.
    I then opened the library file from my old iPhoto library and it has a similar structure. In its RKVersion table, all the "name" attributes are filled out and they contain all the image titles I want to see. So I can conclude that during the conversion from iPhoto to Photos, the "name" attributes were simply not copied over, and that is why all my images now lack titles.
    I will try to find a way to copy this whole column from the iPhoto library into the Photos library, which should solve the problem.
    * Please be aware that editing this file may cause irreversible damage to the library. Make sure there is a backup of the whole library before digging into these files.

  • How to Get Albums in File-Name-Order Photo

    When I updated my iPod Touch to V4.0 and iTunes (V9 on Windows XP) re-synced it, I found that my photo albums were now in Picture Date order rather than PC file name order. I tried several things that didn't work.
    What worked was using the Photoshop Essentials Organizer to change the picture date on all the photos in an album to the same date and time (this can be done to all selected photos in one operation).
    I did the sync in two steps. First I moved the album out of the iTunes photos directory and then synced my iPod which deleted the album. Then I moved it back and re-synced.
    Does anyone know of an easier trick? I’ve already submitted a feedback item to Apple that they should make file-name-order an option in iTunes
    Andy…

    The trick that I used is to append the URL with the name of the file. So if your url is "http://domain.com/attach", use "http://domain.com/attach/filename.doc". IE and Netscape parse the URL to determine what the filename is, so by placing this text at the end, you essentially let the browsers know what the filename is. :)
    I have design a program to get the attach file from an
    attachment. But when I click the link to save the
    file, the default name of the file is 'attach'
    whenever I get different files. Who know what is the
    problem, please tell me the truth.
    Here are some codes of the program.<< snip >>

  • Changing the file name of photo in Finder.

    I need to change the file name of my photos. I have changed the settings so that they show on iPhoto as 001, 002 etc - but I need this information to also be set in Finder. Is this possible?
    NikiKL

    No - iPhoto is a photo database and it controls the files - you can not - in fact must not (if you make any changes in the structure or content of the iPhoto library you will corrupt it and lose data) -- and there is no reason to - you have full access to your files - <a href-"http://web.me.com/larryhn/iPhoto08_(version_7.x.x)_FAQ/Accessing_iPhotoPhotos.html"> click here for a discussion of the many ways to properly and safely access your photos -- and you can always export them using the title for the file name to have them outside iPhoto with any name you desire

  • Displaying File Name for Photo and Video Clips in Premiere Elements 10

    I am using Premier Elements 10 on a Windows 7 Pro desktop computer to create
    a project consisting of 128 jpg photo and mp4 video clips.  Before creating
    the project I created a short file name for each clip describing its
    content.  I've added menu tags at locations which separate the project into
    discrete segments.  I've selected a disc menu which utilizes the menu tags I
    created.  I previewed the project and I'm satisfied that the DVD disc I
    intend to create will display everything I want except for one thing.  I
    have spent several hours trying to find out how to have each displayed clip
    include the file name (without extension) somewhere near the edge of each
    window as it is opened in the finished production.  I sure would appreciate
    some help with the steps needed to accomplish this.

    Welcome to the forum.
    This can most easily be accomplished by adding a Title (maybe from a Lower-Thirds Title Template), above each Clip/Still Image.
    I would create one such Title, and manually add the "File Name" in the location desired. Then, place that on a higher Video Track, above the Clip/Still. Then, just use the Duplicate Title function, to create a new Title, with the Text and Style, per the first - edit the Text for each, as required.
    I know of no automated method to grab the Clip's/Still's File Name, and add that to a Title, as PrE does not support any scripting.
    Good luck,

  • Changing the file names of photos

    Hi,
    ive searched the topics on here already and googled and still no luck, so I'm hoping someone on here may be able to help please.
    I have an online shop (based on zencart) and I can't upload more than one photo from my ipad, because when I try they all seem to have the same file name and therefore the new photo overwrites the old photo (causing the products I create on my ipad to all have the same photo).  Any ideas how I can change the file names of the photos, or any other way of sorting it out?
    I hope that makes sense, Thanks in advance.

    Anyone :(

  • How can I sort photos by file name in Photos?

    New Photos seems to be very limiting, even compared to iPhoto.  How can I sort photos by filename?  Many photos that worked in iPhoto, can't be viewed in Photos.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Titles don't use the filename any longer, but if you must have them you might be interested in Léonie's script here.

  • How to show file names of photos in iMovie '11

    I'm making the move from iMovie 6 to iMove '11.
    I always carefully name my digital photos with a serial number and what the image is of. For example "001 Kawailoa Bay, Kauai.jog"
    In 6 I could see the filename of an imported image/photo on the timeline which easily allowed me to add the needed caption (title) to the video, reading the needed info and typing it into the caption text.
    In '11 I cannot see any properties of the image/photo that will show me the filename in the project. I have to right-click and "Reveal in Finder" to see the filename and then return to '11 to add the caption.
    Am I overlooking a way to see the filename or properties of an image in the Project?
    thanks

    I don't know of a way to do it other than the way you are doing it with Reveal In Finder.

  • Show file name as the title for a photo in Photos app

    If my memory is correct in iPhoto when you hovered the cursor over a photo it displayed the title assigned to the photo, but if you had not assigned a title it showed the file name. In Photos app the only way I have found to see the file name is in the info panel. Other wise it only shows untitled when you hover over the photo. You can copy/paste in the info pane but thats a pain if you have hundreds of pics with no title. I only named a few in iPhoto as I preferred to see the file name assigned by the camera. Any one know if it's possible to see file name and not untitled?

    See this discussion:  Re: Where are photo file names?
    Photos does show the filenames only in the Info panel, and if you wrote the filename into the title field as a title, Photos will suppress it. in some cases

  • File names on ipad

    Having imported photos into an ipad, they do not come in alphabetically as they are on my Imac.
    I cannot see the file names the photos have.
    Admitedly I have one of the first Ipasds out but thew O/s is 5.1.1
    I purchased the PhotoMgr Pro app in the hope this would solve things but it seems to give the photo a totally different name.
    I am considering buying a new Ipad in the hope that I sall be ablew to view my photos in the name order as I can on my Imac, but I don't think this will be the case.
    At least by buting a new Ip;ad I ought to be able to purchase other sortware.
    Any suggestions on this would be appreciated.
    Cheers

    What are you selecting on the Photos tab in iTunes for syncing to the Photos app ? If you are selecting the photo's folder in the Photos tab on your Mac's iTunes and syncing that folder then they will be copied over in 'date modified' order. If you have iPhoto or Aperture installed on your Mac (and have the photos in the order that you want them in albums in that) then you should be able to select and sync those album e.g. on the Photos tab for syncing :
    For Photo Manager Pro you need to sync copy them directly to the app via the File Sharing section on the Apps tab on your Mac's iTunes - when you sync photos to the Photos app they are 'optimised' and renamed, so you need to go straight from your Mac to the Photo Manager Pro to maintain their filenames.

    That is not a feature of iPhoto

  • Rename file name in photostream

    question: how do i rename an image within photostream?
    note distinction: file name vs photo title.
    evidently photostream displays file name.
    hence, if you have gone to the trouble of renaming a photo title in photoshop and then created a photostream expecting titles to appear as you'd wish (for friends/family to see), then you're out of luck.

    since everyone sharing using PhotoStream must be using the same Apple ID
    this is no longer the case.
    for shared PhotoStreams you would use the Comments field to describe the photo
    no. you would use comments field for comments. the title field is meant for title/filename.
    or change the file name prior to importing the photo to iPhoto
    complete waste of time.
    only thing worse than that is exporting and reimporting which creates duplicates, clutter, and filekeeping menace.
