Why is the Master File names as Version?

When I import a file into a new project and apply an adjustment a new 'version 2' is automatically generated. This is correct. But why does the system name the original Master (which remains unchanged) as 'Version 2' and shows the adjusted file as the master?

Just To Be Clear, Filename is the Master file name

Aperture has a Version Name field and a File Name field.
But, no Master Name field.
That's because the Master Name is the File Name.
Correct?

I was very confused by things like this, but have come to terms ( ) with most of Aperture's nomenclature.
In this case I think it's mostly simple elision. The full term should perhaps be "Master file name". "Master" is useful, because while all Masters are files, not all files are Masters. By the same token, "file" is redundant, and in use is regularly dropped.
Your question seems to be, then, "Why is the label 'File name' used on the Metadata tab of the Inspector instead of 'Master name'?"
I (of course) don't know. The interface designers might have avoided some confusion by using "Master file name" -- but that might have made things worse: is that the name of the "Master file", or is it some kind of master "file name"? (The User Manual makes things even worse: one finds "Master file name", "Master name", "file name" and "Master filename".) Ultimately, I suspect the decisions were made based on the likely frame of reference. If the frame of reference is inside Aperture, "Master" is emphasized. If the frame of reference is outside Aperture, "file" is emphasized.
Would you be more comfortable with this label on the Metadata tab of the Inspector: "Master file"?

How do I find where the master file for a version in aperture 3

I was wondering how to find where the original master image is in the aperture 3 library. For instance we have several images that are in different albums and folders but are trying to find where the original image is in the library.

Is your Library managed or referenced?
If your library is referenced, then you can reveal the master image file by selecting the image in the browser and selecting "File -> Show in Finder" from the menu.
If your library is managed you will have to open the Library package to see the master image files: Ctrl-click the Aperture library and select "Show Package Contents" from the Pop-up menu. Then browse the folder "Masters", but very carefully - don't change anything inside the package! The Masters-folder is arranged by date: year, month, day ...
But you can always look at the master image files from inside Aperture - much safer: Select any image and type "m" - that will show you what the master image file is like - type "m" again to view the version.

Why does the .dmg file for newest version always download as corrupted?

When I try to download the newest version of Firefox I do not get the window where you are to drag the Firefox icon into the applications folder. When I try to manually open the dmg file I get a dialog box saying the image is corrupted.

What version of OS X are you using?
If you have OS X 10.3.9 or earlier, the last version of Firefox that works is Firefox 2.0.0.20, if you try to install a more recent version you get the message about a corrupt download.

Why don't my iphoto event names match up to my iphoto master file names?

Yosemite 10.10
iPhoto 9.6
MacBook Pro 2009
I recently downloaded Yosemite, which has slowed my laptop down significantly. This has prompted me to transfer all large files - photos, movies and music off my laptop and onto an external hard drive (in addition to my time machine backup hard drive).
I was instructed (at the Apple Store) to open Finder then Pictures > iPhoto Library. Then to right click on the iPhoto Library folder and select 'show package contents', this reveals a large list of folders but I understand that the Masters folder is the one to care about with respect to back ups. When I open up Masters I can see 8 folders labelled 2007 - 2014. In each of these folders are other folders housing all the jpeg files.
THE PROBLEM:
For some reason in the 2007-2009 folders the Master file names match up to the Event names in iPhoto. This is great and makes sense! However, after 2009 everything gets really messed up in the Masters folder - despite my iPhoto Library being meticulously organised into Events that are all labelled. For example, when I open up the 2014 folder the path looks like this 2014 > 10 > 06 > 20141006-214510 > which then houses the jpeg images. It looks to me like these folders represent upload events as opposed to the Events that I organised them into in the front end of iPhoto. WHY!?!
THE QUESTIONS:
Why is this happening? And can I fix it so that it doesn't happen when I next import photos into iPhoto?
Should I just stop using iPhoto?
What happens if I change the names of the Master folders in the back end of iPhoto to reflect the Event names in the front end? Would it be better to just organise them on my hard drive?
Thank you

1. It's not a problem as you never ever access your photos in this way.
2. If you want to back up your original photos you do this via the Export function: File -> Export
This User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
3. None of this saves space on your HD. To do that you need to move your Library from the HD to the external:
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
a. Quit iPhoto
b. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
c. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
d. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
4. That particular Apple Genius isn't.
As to the specific questions:
Why is this happening? And can I fix it so that it doesn't happen when I next import photos into iPhoto?
It's happening as that is how iPhoto works and there is nothing ti fix. Exporting makes the issue redundant.
Should I just stop using iPhoto?
Why?
What happens if I change the names of the Master folders in the back end of iPhoto to reflect the Event names in the front end?
You'll corrupt the Library. And it's unnecessary.
Would it be better to just organise them on my hard drive?
No.

Rename master "file name"

Is there a way to rename the master file name?
Currently, the only way to do this is:
1. Import the files into a folder first and rename the files. Then
2. Import the rename files into Aperture.
or
3. Delete files from aperture but do not empty
4. Recover these files from the trash. Rename them.
5. Import them back into Aperture.
This is a pain in the * process.
Any other ideas?

One of my favorite OS X tools is "A Better Finder Rename" - (http://www.publicspace.net/ABetterFinderRename/index.html). I used to have my own Applescript to rename, but this ran circles around mine.
Before Aperture, I'd import to a folder, do a simple culling (via Bridge), then rename everything to my conventions (D05_01322.DCR, etc).
If you want to import directly from a card reader WITH renamed images, you can try this utility as another method. Yesterday I used it to do a simple experiment to allow a Master file to be renamed BEFORE importing into Aperture:
1. Be sure to open your preferences and set the "When camera is connected, open:" to "No application".
2. Mount your card reader with card you want imported.
3. Select the files you want renamed, then open "A Better Finder Rename" and select to Change "only the file name".
4. Inside Aperture, import the renamed Master images with your personalized names.

How to Change the defalut file name of PDF out of report (Version 6i)

Dear All
I have a report which opens from forms(Version 6i); the output of the report is in PDF. The generated file name is the same name as the report. Is there any way to give parameter name of the report as the name of the PDF out put of the report?
For example I have a parameter called PATIENT_ID and my value is 25613 now I need the PDF out put name also 25613.
Thanks and regards
Sijo

Use DESNAME to specify the output filename:
set_report_object_property(repid, REPORT_DESNAME, :patient_id);

When I send out mail from MS Outlook enterprise account in the office to my Mac at home they are received as "winmail.dat" files. Even if I perform a "save as" to the correct file name the file format is still not recognized. Why is this happening!?

Action which saves incremental versions of the current file name.

I have several folders of PNG files I want to hue to differnt colours and then save a version in each colour.
I sucessfuly recorded an action that makes the hue adjustments and saves files, the problem I'm having is the action uses the name and location of the file I used when recording the action.
When it saves each file I'd like it to keep the current file name and add a suffix if needs be. File-1.png, File-2.png etc.
I'm using CS5.
Any advice would be brilliant.
Thanks.

Use the image processor script and remove the save steps from your action.

When saving a File OS Is Creating Multiple Folders With The Same File Name

Not sure what I changed but, now when I save a any file (ppt. word, Keynote,Pages e.g.,) to the desktop or any other location the OS will also create multiple file folders with the same file name as the file I'm saving. Inside the folders are what appears to be files locating the saved files. What can I do to fix this problem?
I'm using the 10.7.2 version

It looks like a finder bug. To replicate, I surf to any website, I right-click on a jpg image, select "Save Image As" and in the window that pops up I type in the filename "000.jpg", I select the folder Pictures, and click on Save.
BTW, I don't know why, but the file was saved only as "000" without the file extension ".jpg". Does anybody know why?
the extension is simply hidden. go to the get info panel for the file and uncheck the option to hide the extension.
Then I surf to another image, and again I save it as "000.jpg" and now it asks me if I want to replace the existing filename, although the existing one is "000" and I try to save as "000.jpg", so I say yes, and then magically the file is saved with the full filename including the extension "000.jpg"
When I did it a couple of times, always saving image as "000.jpg" from various sources, I ended up with two distinct files named "000" and both in the same folder Pictures.
Please advise.
it sounds to me like you saved one file as 000.jpg and the other and 000.jpg.jpg.
check the info panels for the files for full names to verify if this is the case.

Flickr changing Master File name in sync'd albums

Has anyone noticed that when syncing with Flickr from Aperture that the sync'd images get altered Master File names? This doesn't have an effect on the images in the Aperture projects, only on the images in the sync'd folders under Flickr. I just find this odd as the MobileMe sync'd images don't get their Master File names altered. Has anyone else noticed this?
Also, do the sync'd images, say for MobileMe, Flickr, Facebook, etc get stored in the Aperture Library and subsequently in vaults? I was checking in my Aperture Library folder and it seems that they do. I am just wondering why Aperture would store this as it seems redundant to store the same images twice. Maybe I am misunderstanding something. Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

We do a high volume of shooting with weddings, so it really is not feasible to dub tapes or similar to get proper timecode. It is not just this tape but every tape that seems to have problems with working with timecode, and that is from 4 different sony cameras and importing from various devices (but not an actual deck).
If any other ideas pop up, please let me know. Two other odd pieces of information. When I attempt to reconnect, where it should show the names of the media to reconnect, this clip shows up blank, without even an extension. It is there as there is a blank portion that is highlighted blue and it lets you search, but when you try to reconnect it either says operation not allowed, or it goes through and nothing happens. The second thing is that when you get the info on the clip from the browser, it says the drive for the clip is missing. Not sure if that is simply because the clip is offline but the drive is showing up as connected, so I found it odd that it says that the drive is missing...

Can I configure to always delete the master file?

Hi!
If I want to delete a file, I don't just remove it from the cataloge, but to delete the master file, too.
If I use the remove key, I get the (annoying) pop up, what I want to do: (sorry, I've a german version, so I just try to translate it)
Delete from hard disk
Remove (default selected)
Cancel
Is there any chance to avoid this dialog? Or at least to chance the preselected button, so I've just to use the enter key?
Actually I've to
press delete
press left arrow key
press enter
That is a little bit annoying and error-prone
Thanks a lot!
P.S.: I just found out, that ALT+DELETE is a shurtcut to remove the file from the catalog. So it would be greate to have a similar shurtcut to delete the file from the filesystem.

Thanks!
But it is almost the same as CTRL+ALT+DELETE, which has a special meaning in Windows :-(
So there is no way, to get a delete action, that easiliy deletes, without pressing four keys in parallel? :-|
Perhaps, the developers of Lightroom could provide an option, so you get the pop up, but the default action is different. That would be really great.

How can I auto export a PDF File using the "Smallest File Size" preset and set the Exported File Name based on information from an Imported PDF?

Greetings all,
I am trying to create a script to automate a PDF export process for my company for inDesign. I’m fairly new to inDesign itself and have no previous experience with javascript, although I did take C++ in high school and have found it helpful in putting this code together.
We have an inDesign template file and then use the Multi-page PDF importer script to import PDF files. We then have to export two version of each file that we import, then delete the imported file and all of the pages to reset the template. This has to be done for nearly 1000 pdf files each month and is quite tedious. I’m working on automating the process as much as possible. I’ve managed to piece together code that will cleanup the file much quicker and am now trying to automate the PDF exports themselves.
The files are sent to us as “TRUGLY#####_Client” and need to be exported as “POP#####_Client_Date-Range_North/South.pdf”
For example, TRUGLY12345_Client needs to be exported as POP12345_Client_Mar01-Mar31_North and POP12345_Client_Mar01-Mar31_South.
There are two templates built into the template file for the north and south file that are toggled easily via layer visibility switches. I need to get a code that can ideally read the #s from the imported Trugly file as well as the Client and input those into variables to use when exporting. The date range is found in the same place in the top right of each pdf file. I am not sure if this can be read somehow or if it will have to be input manually. I can put North or South into the file name based on which template layer is visible.
I am not sure how to go about doing this. I did find the following code for exporting to PDF with preset but it requires me to select a preset and then type the full file name. How can I set it to automatically use the “Smallest File Size” preset without prompting me to choose and then automatically input some or preferably all of the file name automatically? (If the entire filename is possible then I don’t even want a prompt to appear so it will be fully automated!)
PDF Export Code (Originally from here: Simple PDF Export with Preset selection | IndiSnip [InDesign® Snippets]):
var myPresets = app.pdfExportPresets.everyItem().name;
myPresets.unshift("- Select Preset -");
var myWin = new Window('dialog', 'PDF Export Presets');
myWin.orientation = 'row';
with(myWin){
    myWin.sText = add('statictext', undefined, 'Select PDF Export preset:');
    myWin.myPDFExport = add('dropdownlist',undefined,undefined,{items:myPresets});
    myWin.myPDFExport.selection = 0;
    myWin.btnOK = add('button', undefined, 'OK');
myWin.center();
var myWindow = myWin.show();
if(myWindow == true && myWin.myPDFExport.selection.index != 0){
    var myPreset = app.pdfExportPresets.item(String(myWin.myPDFExport.selection));
    myFile = File(File.saveDialog("Save file with preset: " + myPreset.name,"PDF files: *.pdf"));
    if(myFile != null){
        app.activeDocument.exportFile(ExportFormat.PDF_TYPE, myFile, false, myPreset);
    }else{
        alert("No File selected");
}else{
    alert("No PDF Preset selected");
So far my code does the following:
1) Runs the Multi-Page PDF Import Script
2) Runs PDF Export Script Above
3) Toggles the Template
4) Runs #2 Again
5) Deletes the imported PDF and all pages and toggles template again.
It’s close and much better than the original process which was almost 100% manual but I’d like to remove the Preset prompt from the PDF script and have it automatically select the “Smallest File Size” preset. and then if there’s a way to have it auto-fill in the file name so no user input is required at all other than selecting each file to import. (If there’s a way to setup a batch action for the multi-import script that would be even better!)
Thanks in advance and if there’s anything else I can provide that would help please let me know! Even a nudge in the right direction will be a big help!

If you hold down the option key, it will typically show the location. Or you can often hit option-return on the file and it will reveal the file in the Finder, instead of opening it.
Final option is to open it, and just option-click the filename in the toolbar of Preview and it should show you the location.
It's probably an attachment to an email you've received. If you have Mail set to cache emails and their attachments it'll be stashed in a subdirectory of ~/Library/Mail. Which is fine.

I can not transfer date from one hard drive to another, I keep getting an error because I have two of the same file names and one file name is in caps and I cant change the file name

can not transfer date from one hard drive to another, I keep getting an error because I have two of the same file names and one file name is in caps and I cant change the file name. My original external has an error and needs to be reformatted but I dont want to lose this informations its my entire Itunes library.

Sounds like the source drive is formatted as case sensitive and the destination drive is not. The preferred format for OS X is case insensitive unless there is a compelling reason to go case sensitive.
Why can't you change the filename? Is it because the source drive is having problems? If so is this happening with only one or two or a few files? If so the best thing would be to copy those over individually and then rename them on the destination drive.
If it is more then you can do manually and you can't change the name on the source you will have to reformat the destination as case sensitive.
Btw this group is for discussion of the Support Communities itself, you;d do better posting to Lion group. I'll see if a host will move it.
