Web gallery name created on export too .mac is too long - how do I shorten?

I cannot work out what the steps would be to reduce the eventual web address that I am given when I publish a web gallery from Apertue.. I want to put the address into a domain web forwarding so that I can give a short neat address for people to see but I cannot figure out how to reduce the .mac web gallery link address?
Can anyone help? Assume I am an idiot.. the clearer and more comprehensive the steps the better!
I have been messing about with batch change metadata settings for ages but can't see how to do this.. Thank you!

Apologies.. my advice may have been wrong.. it is a while since I figured it out.. trying to remember what it was I did..you do have to shorten that file name.. but it may not be the caption you need to change. I suspect I may have selected all the images.. then gone to meta data batch change and done something under the custom button which then applied to all images.
In my case I needed to get the web address for the gallery created from:
http://homepage.mac.com/farish/Smartbins™%20Chewing%20Gum%20Bin%20and%20Cigarett e%20Bin%20Image%20Gallery/
down to:
http://homepage.mac.com/farish/Chewing%20Gum%20Bin%20Cigarette%20Bin/
I did manage it but can't quite remember how I did it.
I will keep playing and when I figure out what I did that worked will post again.
The web gallery name you choose affects how Google sees the site as when you publish the web gallery - the web gallery name can pop up in Google
It's quite difficult to figure out exactly what to do. If anyone else knows a definitive answer please advise!

  • Web gallery full size images blurry on .mac

    My photos look great in iPhoto. But when I have iPhoto create a web gallery and sync it to .mac the full size images are quite blurry. The thumbs are fine, but the full size images look over compressed. I can't find a place to fool with image quality for these images. Any thoughts?
    Thanks in advance.
    -Buddy

    Buddy:
    I found that the full sized images that I synced to a web gallery in iPhoto were jpg compressed to a quality level of 9 out of 12 (as determined thru Photoshop). I do not notice any obvious degradation of image quality. At 200% enlargement I did notice some unsharpness. My files are compressed down from around 2 MB TO 840KB.
    Do you Twango?
    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 written 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • How do I find a web page I created on my old mac book with iweb 8

    Know I sound stupid but I can't seem to access my existing website from my new iweb. It wants me to create a brand new site

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The file you need to find is titled domain.sites2 and is normally located in the User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. Unless you reinstalled the system and iLife with an erase and install it should be there. If you don't find it there download and use Find File to search for "domain". It can search areas that Spotlight cannot.

  • Export Bridge Assets including metadata into searchable web gallery

    Hi,
    We have several thousand images that we have tagged with metadata in Adobe Bridge. We want to be able to export these images and their associated metadata into a searchable web gallery so that customers can search keywords or at the very least pick attributes in order to narrow down the image selection process.
    What software has the ability to do this?
    Thank you!

  • How can I create a link to an external site in my aperture web gallery?

    Very keen to add a link to my main home page so people can go from my web gallery at www.smartstreets.eu back to my home page at www.smartstreets.co.uk
    Anyone know a way to do this?
    Also wondered if I can change the font, size, format (eg bold etc) in the theme I have chosen .. this seems to be set and cannot be changed.
    Any ideas? Any places I can try for great third party web gallery themes? Thank you!

    I don't know how to accomplish this when using Aperture's built-in web gallery feature. My suggestion may help until you find out how to do that. I suggest buying iLife '08 and using iWeb to create your web galleries. The iWeb media browser shows your Aperture library and albums so there's no need to export-import. You do need to generate previews for photos to use in iPhoto. iWeb is much more powerful than Aperture's gallery layout tools, plus there are many themes available. Think of iWeb as an export plugin for Aperture.

  • Aperture to .Mac Web Gallery Help please. Urgent !!

    Hi, I having been going round in circles trying to figure this out -
    Q1) I cannot find a way to update to my published .Mac web gallery from Aperture(2.1)
    When I select the versions that I want to add to the gallery I drag them into the Web
    Gallery album in the projects inspector and synchronize the gallery to update, but
    only the Master images are added to the published web gallery, not the versions !?
    Q2) Also, when I originally created the Web Gallery album Aperture imported my entire
    project (All masters, complete stacks, vers etc) but somehow only published the versions
    I had selected for publishing to a .Mac Web Gallery. Why has aperture included the Masters,
    complete stacks etc in the Web Gallery album ?
    If someone could help with this, particularly Q1, it would be much appreciated as I have
    a client waiting to see more versions which I cannot manage to add to the existing
    published Web Gallery for that client.
    Thx

    Hi Ernie, thx for responding.
    I have tried everything, but same result - Aperture only publishes the unedited Master, not the version with Adjustments. When I originally published images to the .Mac web gallery I disabled all downloads, as the gallery is intended for client review & selection only.
    Some further questions if you don't mind.. Am I doing the right thing in dragging versions from the project to the Web Gallery album (in projects inspector)? When I do that I see that Aperture copies both the Master & version to the web gallery album (they are both visible in the web gallery album) The problem is that only the Master is published to the .Mac web gallery (which i don't want), and not the edited Version(which I do want) This worked ok the first time around when I created the web gallery album and published it to .Mac galleries, however I did notice that the web gallery album in Aperture contains the entire contents of the project (Masters, complete stacks & versions etc)
    The Aperture manual is very vague on adding new images to a web gallery album and publishing them to an existing >mac Web gallery. It says that this can be done, but not how to do so. I may be missing something simple and obvious, but the Aperture user manual is really not sufficient in this area. Any further ideas or suggestions would be welcome. Thx again.

  • Can't send to .mac web gallery?

    Hello, This feature has never worked for my phone, and having just recently started making use of my .mac account, I thought it would be fun to send photos to my web gallery. Problem is...Every time I try to send a picture to my .mac web gallery, it tells me that my .mac login has failed, and to check my .mac name and password in mail settings. They are correct, and I can get and receive mail on my .mac address. What gives? I've tried several times over the past several weeks. Any suggestions?

    One thing to check out that might help.
    Can you send and receive mail on your .mac account on your iphone.
    If so, try emailing a photo to you .mac gallery without using the the send to web gallery button.
    Use the email photo button and enter the .mac gallery email address
    Here is an article from the apple support website that might help out.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1662
    Another thing, go to settings > mail and check the default account is set to.
    If you have more than one email account on the iphone, try setting it to the an account other than the .mac account.
    Hope this helps.

  • Publishing web gallery without .Mac

    Hello,
    I finally have my portfolio all set up the way that I want it and would like to publish it. I don't want to have to use .Mac (and since it's replaced by MobileMe now). Is there a way that I can publish this portfolio using a free hosting server?
    Thanks!
    -Will

    Will,
    In Aperture, Web Pages or Web Journals can be uploaded to any host site. The Web Gallery function, however, is limited to .Mac use; this is due to functions that are performed on the server and which are specific to .Mac.

  • Using a web gallery created in Bridge

    Like the title says.  I have created a flash web site.  I have also created a portfolio in adobe bridge.  Is there any way for me to put the web gallery I created in adobe bridge into my Flash site?

    Hi Guys, This turned out to be a Unix server-side issue. Apparently the compression software being used by the ISP on this server was in some way incompatible. The ISP turned the compression off and the problem was cured.

  • Broken character encoding in Web Gallery / Journal

    Hi,
    Is there another place to submit bugs to Apple than posting here?
    I noticed that the web gallery and journals are exported with HTML indicating iso-8859-1 encoding, but the characters are actually encoded with "MacRoman" (which isn't supported in most browsers and doesn't have a standard encoding name).
    I put an example here:
    http://tmp.askask.com/2005/12/aperture_bug/
    (See the ø in my name be messed up on the bottom line).
    Speaking of character sets; it really should export UTF-8 rather than iso-8859-1. (But anything else than MacRoman would be an improvement!)
    - ask
    Quad PowerMac   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    After i read elsewhere in this forum that you can "hack" the HTML Templates I thought I give it a try and change the encoding settings.
    So I went to Apperture.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/WebThemes/ and went into the Directory of the Theme I used, Pictures. I opened detail.html, gallery.html, journal-gallery.html and journal.html with BBEdit (I think TextEdit is just fine, too) and changed the charset to macintosh as this seems to be the official name of the MacRoman encoding as stated here: http://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets
    I saved everything (you might make a backup of the original files first) and opened Aperture, exported my Web-Journal to a shared folder with my wife's PC and made some tests.
    The encoding was recognized perfectly and automatically by Firefox (PC, 1.0.7), InternetExplorer (PC, 6.0) and of course Safari and Firefox on the Mac.
    So it seems I can work around my second "favorite" bug in Aperture...
    (My "favorite" is that I lost some projects when naming them with äöü's, it's soooo good to have a backup at hand)

  • How do i incorperate the web gallery into my own web site?

    I have a web site and i want to incorperate the web gallery created with Aperture in to it but i cant seem to get it right. I use fetch to upload and I renamed the "index.html" (from the aperture gallery) to a relevent link name but it just does'nt work.
    Ive created the original web site with "Freeway 3"
    I would be gratful if anyone could assist me.
    Kind regards

    I might be wrong, but it seems to me that what you're doing wrong is not pointing your main site into the gallery's folder structure. That is, there's no need to rename the index.html file that inside the gallery folder created upon export; you just have to point your main site's home page (or whatever page you want to set up a link to your gallery from) to the index.html file in the gallery folder.
    For example, let's say your main site's home page is at http://www.yourdomain.com/index.html, and you've exported your new gallery to a folder named newgallery. All you have to do is create a link in your main site's index.html that points to newgallery/index.html (actually, you only need to point to the folder newgallery, since browsers will look inside the folder for a file called index.html, or home.html, or index.php, or a few others). The gallery folder's structure provides all the images, links, navigation, etc., for the gallery, starting at it's index.html page, but changing the name of that file doesn't tell your main site's index page to go to it. In fact, it doesn't do anything at all.
    I hope this helps, but if I've misunderstood your problem, please excuse this post.

  • Web Gallery troubles

    I published a web gallery (album of pictures) to my .mac account, and it worked properly. But I then had to change one of those pictures (actually a title with an error), and I did this by changing it in the iPhoto 08 web gallery. That, too, worked properly, changing the slide with the error in the published web gallery. However, subsequently, I found that .mac now had 2 copies of that photo album, both with the offending slide corrected, but one with an extra copy of the offending slide.
    I don't know how to get rid of the extra copy in .mac. My iPhoto 08 shows only one copy (and the correct one) so there is nothing to change there. And as far as I understand, it is only by changing the album in iPhoto 08 that I can have an effect on what has been published in .mac.
    Does anyone have any suggestions> Rick

    Addendum: I was fiddling around and found that although the extra copy did not show in iPhoto 08, it did show in iPhoto Preferences/Web Gallery. So I changed the name of the album in iPhoto 08 so that I could tell which was the correct copy, and after the changed name turned up in the preferences list, I stopped publishing on the other one, the extra copy. That eliminated the extra copy!!!...and I found ity gone when I went back to .mac. Hope this helps somebody. Rick

  • How to break link between iWeb and web gallery?

    I have created an external webpage with the use of iWeb, and I have inserted the photos widget through the web gallery which sits on my personal .Mac account (ie. different to the external website which has an independent - no mac - .com address)
    I would like people to view the picture widget on the external website (a business website) I have created, but I do not want them to click on it and then be directed to my home web gallery. Basically I just want them to be able to see the rolling pictures, but nothing more.
    Does anyone know how to avoid this link from working?

    Hi Kodi,
    As far as I know, the object link to material is part of SAP standard customer delivery. Then there is really small customer settings you have to maitain, actually the fields Destination and Web server, as the SAP never knows the name of the system, which customer will use.
    Or you talk about others than the 0PLANTMATERIAL, 0PLANTMAT_LONG. If you create new object link type, the install guide  'Collaboration Projects (cProjects): Guide Impl. Object Link ' in the https://websmp105.sap-ag.de/plm-inst should give you detailded information.
    Kind regards,
    Zhenbo
