Batch to replace the placeholders in the files of the same name?

Hello

I am designing a photo slideshow in AE and while I'm waiting at the end of the images, I create a model using precomposes placeholders.

I named placeholders 'Image_01', 'Image_02' etc.  So, if I name the file image to match, can I say AE to connect all the placeholders in the file of the same name?  I'll have a lot of images, so that would be a gain of time compared to the restoration of the links individually!

Thank you

Just create a dummy image externally set and use that then trade out. AE does not care what is content, it seems that for a path.

  • Replace the files with the same name - crush

    Everytime I go to save a file (in the office) for example, if this file has the same name with another in the save destination I'm asked if I want to replace it with one that I am saving at this time.

    I push the button no and I choose a different name for the file.

    What I want is this:

    If the file has the same name I want to be saved anyway, and in his name a number is added which means that it is another file.

    ex, jane, and jane (1)

    I want the 1 are added automatically. I noticed these when I save a file after scanning a document using the windows fax and scan feature.

    How do I develop the functionality usually precedes for windows.

    It is something specific to the program. The notebook is not programmed in this way.

  • 2 separated registered photos with the same name of file/number.

    How can I separate 2 or more photos with the same name of file/number. Consult us in the case that I see a photo and when I open it I see a different picture. The second photo is not the case in the folder, but still I need to save. It seems they are crushed.

    =============================================
    FWIW... If a picture was crushed (replaced), it is unrecoverable.

    Are you saying that the vignette does not match the full size photo?

  • DISABLE "there is already a file with the same name to this place.

    Window 7. 64 bit. How do you turn OFF DISABLE, CANCEL, DELETE, STOP the pop-up 'MOVE the FILE'?

    As a user since the days of DOS command lines and having had a routine all the way through to XP, this new window is one of the most annoying pop ups for an experienced user. If it isn't a swith toggle check box or an other power selection for this message, there must be. And if there is, you did it quite hard to find.

    The dialog box that appears in Windows 7 that starts with "there is already a file with the same name to this place. It lists then the three choices - "Copy and replace", "Do not copy" and "copy, but keep both files.

    I managed several libraries of forms which oblige me to replace the files throughout my day. I make a copy of the file I replace first of all, for archival purposes and this pop-up box is, well, it's boring. There must be a way to disable.

    This box comes up to move files and to copy the files.

    Any help in these turn off would be appreciated.

    See you soon.

  • How to name multiple files with the same name?

    HI, I'm supposed to write the names of files for an agency and I noticed that all the photographers name the files of the same Gallery of the same name, I guess it's renaming the bridge batch? TXS

    Yes, use the bridge to rename lots. I would recommend using the text that you want (add a _ at the end) and then add a number to four digits of the sequence.

    Here is a little video I did for someone else last night. You can find it useful, too:

  • Several files with the same name.

    Cannot publish to Business Catalyst because of a fatal error, where it is said "why do we have several files with the same name?  The website and all its contents have not changed in more than a year with the exception of minor changes to the wording so unable to understand what the error is encountered. Are there not better misdiagnosed at one point less for the files in question.

    The problem is the result of a mixture of case-sensitive and case-insensitive between how files within the .oam are put into interaction with and what is written in the muse_manifest.xml file during a re - download full compared to an incremental download.

    If all .oam packages files are tiny and the original .oam were replaced in Muse with the all new tiny .oams, then you should select Upload: publish all the files in the dialog box Options. From there, forward publication of incremental changes should work without errors.

  • where to save the files under options the file name is duplicated how to remove an additional folder with the same name

    Under Options in Firefox, I clicked on save the files under downloads, but the file name twice and an additional file with the same name is created in the folder, i.e.:

    G:\Akbar's Songs\HAMARA DOWNLOADS\HAMARA FORUMS DOWNLOADS FORUMS

    Also the music files, I download from a site of downloads as a WinRar file and I need to open it. Y at - it an option where the file opens automatically in the folder I chose?

    Thanks a lot for your help.

    Hi Akush, when you install 7 - zip, make itself the default application to open .zip and .rar files. So if you double click on the .rar file, it should open in 7 - zip. If you prefer to decompress immediately, right click the file and look for new 7 - zip items in the menu. I can't think of a way to do this automatically, however.

I don't know how to retrieve these values, the program always consider that the first tag and not others, I tried to remove each tag after obtaining its values, that he did not.

    Does anyone have an idea to solve the problem?

  • I want to copy all my jpg files to another directory (a portable hard drive) with some of the same names of JPGs, but not necessarily all. What will happen? The word 'COPY', will be some of the deleted files be added or nothing at all.

    I have a LOT of pictures in my computer (over a thousand) and I want to put them on a portable hard drive, I bought (1 terabyte) but I won't write any of the names of existing files with different images. IS THIS POSSIBLE? Do I need software or special hardware? I tried the copy/paste standard as well as move files to the new directory, but it seems that I can lose files. I'm not sure if the files that are missing (or lack, in my opinion) are not copied. When I finished emptying the directory, it shows that it is empty but the new directory does not seem to have any additional files that should be there based on the counting of the files before and after.

    Thanks for any help you can provide, Bill

    1: right-click and then drag the pix on the external drive. Release the right mouse button and choose copy here. They are there?  Now remove it from the computer.

    2: you can see pix of the same name overwrite each other, or be done with (1), (2), etc.. But even in this case, they will be interspersed with the former. If keep you them in separate folders with different names, that should not happen. Personally, I rename all the pix before storing them. You can select the set instead of the code of the camera and a group, rename the first holiday 2009 yo and the rest will be renamed holiday 2009 and each havf will one (1), (2), (3), after them.

    It is also a nice freeware tool which, among other things, can rename a group of photos easily.

  • Renaming of files exe with the same name

    I have

    just installed a game on steam.  The package ended up being buggy, so it did not work.  But I found a solution on the Forum and he told me to rename these two files exe under the same name.  Its the only way to fix the game.  Others did and cela worked.  When I try to rename the file an error pops up telling me that I can't have two files with the same name.  In summary, this is what is happening.

    two files are: prince of persia.exe and princeofpersia_launcher.exe .

    Need to rename it to princeofpersia_launcher.exe to the prince of persia.exe

    An error pops up saying ERROR RENAME FILE or FOLDER: cannot rename princeofpersia_launcher: a file with the specified name already exists.  Specify a different file name.

    The problem is that these two exe files MUST have the name of prince of Persia: work.  Is it possible that I could do?

    It is not possible to have two files with the same name in the same folder.  Something is wrong with the instructions that you try to follow.  What do say exactly?  Can you give us a link for them?

  • Files and folders with the same name

    I am trying to unzip some files and folders and it works fine on my computer with Windows XP. However, when you use Windows Vista I can't because there are folders and files with the same name. After an internet search, it seems that the only suggestion is to extract the files in separate folders which then would allow them to keep the same name. The problem is I want what they in the same folder and they need to have the names they have.

    NOTE: I do have two files with the same name in the same folder, I have a folder and a file with the same name. I would have thought that this would be acceptable because they are two things separate, and given that it's great under XP.

    All solutions?

    You are right, if I make a file and a text file with the same name, it works fine. However, when I try to extract the files I need it tells me that there is already a file with the same name as the folder. He goes to tell me to choose a new name but my only options are 'try again', 'jump' or 'Cancel '.

    I think I can understand what the problem is. For some reason when you download the zip file, the computer seems to have added a few files side with any format other than "file." It is those who have the same name as the folders as if they were, and they could not be uncompressed because of this. I have no idea whence they came as they appear from nowhere (compared to my XP). I'm trying now unzip the files separately and exclude the strange s 'file '.

    Thanks for your help though!

  • 2 files exactly of same name in the same folder.

    I have encoutered something strange in windows 7. I have 2 files with exactly the same name, and the files are also in the same folder. When you open one of them and saving them without warning are given this file already exists. Cup and last file to another location and copy of return, no warning is given of the file already exists also. Anyone know how this is possible.

    Library...

    Right click on the first file .ppt > Properties > check what's next to place:

    Do the same for the second file. Because the location is the same?

    Probably not... Library is not a folder, it's something different. It shows you file stored in any location specified in the settings of the library. In the left pane you can right-click Documents in libraries > properties > and you will notice that you have listed several locations. Two 'identical' files may appear in the library, but they have a different location on your hard drive.

  • Return of the mistake of MUSE: why do we not have several files with the same name?

    Well - I thought I had all this worked and fixed, but I met the download error 'Why do we have several files with the same name' once again.  (I downloaded all the files several times today in order to 1) works the way it worked the last time and 2) get an OAM file that is not loading for some reason any load again and the download takes about an hour to transfer all the files manually.

    To recap:

    (1) an option "Upload only modified files" returns the 'Muse has encountered an error and closes.  Why do we have several files with the same name? "error just as before.

    (2) a full download will work but takes forever and is NOT a substitution for work changed files option.

    Please advise with possible solutions!

    Is it possible to have two .oam different files in different folders on your computer where the .oam files have the same name? I'm theorizing that there may be a bug in the treatment to ensure the folder created for a .oam placed on the server receives a unique name, particularly in the case of a partial update of the site on the server.

    Please send us the .muse file and all the files in .oam related to [email protected] along with a link to this topic for the context so we can attempt to reproduce this error and isolate the root cause. If files are larger than 20 MB, you'll need to use a service such as Adobe send & Track, Dropbox, creative cloud, WeTransfer, etc. file sharing. Thank you.
