  Hi, is it possible to change the names of files that export out of indesign while packing?

  For example, I can change the "Font of the Document" folder to export as a "document-fonts"?

  I ask because our naming structure requires without capital letters and no spaces. Spaces are replaced by dashes (-).

  And it would be nice if it was always exported as needed, instead of having to go back and change the names of files.

  Thank you! Much appreciated!

  Which cannot be changed without having a bad effect,. The name "Document fonts" is special. When you compress a file with fonts in a folder using exactly this name, InDesign know that these policies should be open and will be used in the document to the other end. If you name this file anything else, InDesign ignore fonts and the recipient will have to open the fonts manually.

  If you have decided to change the folder names, you will need to do once the package created, perhaps with a script.

• Can I globally change the names of files and or directory to lowercase to uppercase?

  in Windows XP or in Windows 7, globally change the names of files and or directory to lowercase to uppercase?

  A single configuration change probably will not accomplish this.

  Your best bet is probably the freeware "Bulk Rename Utility" program which has a section dedicated to change the case of file names.

• Change the name of files and folders in data warehouses

  Is it safe while a virtual machine is running to change the name of the VMDK files and folders in a data store?

  I discovered that a VMS VMDK files have a different name for the virtual machine itself, then someone changed the name of the virtual machine after you have created the records

  I had to do it a few times, will try to document the process that I follow.  If you have many warehouses of data, then make a note of what data store, the machine is in.  The next step is to unregister the virtual machine from vCenter / ESXi

  Then, you need to enable SSH on your ESXi host

  Use Putty or something similar for you connect to the ESXi host

  Run the following commands (in italics)

  cd vmfs/volumes / that is, if the data store that contains the virtual computer is named datastore1 then you would run cd/vmfs/volumes/datastore1

  Then run ls to verify that the virtual machine file is here

  Rename the folder by using mv

  Change to the folder with cd

  Rename the nvram, vmsd, vmx and running again is to say the mv

  MV oldname.nvram newname.nvram

  MV oldname.vmsd newname.vmsd

  MV oldname.vmx newname.vmx
  

  MV 1234.hlog - oldname newname - 1234.hlog

  Rename the vmdk with vmkfstools EI oldname.vmdk newname.vmdk

  Edit the vmx with vi newname.vmx

  Replace references to oldname to newname in this file

  Register the virtual machine with the ESXi server and it should be OK

• Changing the names of file in Lightroom

  Due to a problem with the user I had implemented the incorrect year in Nikon D80.  When I import images in Lightroom the date becomes the first part of the file name

  for example 20090212_Mexico_HMP_0002.NEF

  So I was wondering how to change the date (Date time Original, Date time digitized to Date fields hour ad) in the EXIF section for 426 photographs.  If I can change that, I can use the library > order Photo rename to change the name of the file

  Thank you

  I think that if you select all from the display of the grid, then choose:

  Metadata > edit Capture time

  then fix the first photo of a specific capture time, I think it will adjust all others based on the amount needed to adjust one based on the following comment in the help file:

  "If more than one photo is selected in the grid, Lightroom changes the capture time for the active photo of the specified adjustment. (The active photo is presented as a preview in the Edit Capture time dialog box.) Other photos of the selection are adjusted by the same amount of time. If more than one photo is selected in the Filmstrip in Loupe mode, comparison, or investigation, the capture time is changed only on the active photo"

  I suggest you try it first on a few images.  There are probably other ways as well.

• Generated by changing the names of files Wizard

  I used the wizard of Coldfusion/Flex applications to create master pages and detail for a very simple application.
  
  The name of the table that I used was "user_tbl" and the template created .as file is named Useruser_tbl.as. The app works just fine as it is, however, I did not like the name generated for the .as file.
  
  I have changed the name of the User.as file and all the references appropriately changed the master views and detail (Users.mxml and User.mxml)
  
  Now, when the application is compiled, I get an error:
  1067: constraint implied a value of type com.myapp.views.detail: use a com.myapp.models: User type unrelated. MyApp/src/com/myapp/views/detail User.mxml /myapp/src/com/myapp/views/detail/User.mxml
  
  Changinging the name of the file and references back solves the problem.
  
  What else do I need to change to get the file name change to work?
  
  Any help would be appreciated.

  Obviously my import declaration is ignored. I used the full package name 'com.myapp.models.User' in the detail .mxml file and the problem stopped.

• Ingest does not change the name of files

  Hello, I am trying to ingest a project who shot the 3 cameras, canon 523, canon 60 d, canon 70 d all files mov, suddenly on one day. I am trying to ingest and rename using crΘation HH-MM-SS. I put all the files in a folder before you ingest it and set it to 'Rename the file' and 'transfer of clips to destination '. When I ingest, it copies the files to the new location, but they are all always named with the name of the original file. I have tried with and without transfer clips and tried to rename different criteria such as "Custom Text" and nothing works. Always the same old file name.

  Any help? I spend a lot of time trying different things and nothing works. The possibility of multi-cam rename turned times sounds wonderful, but it does not work for me!

  Thank you!

  HI -.

  I took pictures of my Canon 70 d, copied in a folder (as you mentioned you did) and then she ingested from there. I created a new Preset to rename and used the CREATION TIME format HH-MM-SS. I activated the TRANSFER box, I also enabled the FILE RENAME box and then clicked on INGEST.

  The files copied all followed the naming convention that is appropriate, as defined in my preset.

  You can take a screenshot of your configuration of INGEST dialogue - list all the options for the FILE RENAME section? If you can send me your file rename PRESET that would be useful. To find the file rename PRESET on disk, click on the DROP DOWN MENU at the end of her rename preset selection control and choose "show in Finder/Explorer. The presets file is selected. Simply copy and paste or attach to the post on the forum - or you can send it to me directly at [email protected] if you wish.

  I can't think anything else to try for sure at this point if your response is expected in return, and we can see where we'll go from there.

  Thank you!

• change the name of the file using GREP

  Hello

  I try to get these lines of code to change the name of file saving;

  from: zAlcatraz

  to: HAlcatraz

  {if (myDocName.IndexOf ('z')! =-1)}

  var myRegularExpression = / \ < z/IM

  myDocName = myDocName.replace (myRegularExpression, 'H');

  }

  I try to target just the first z in front of each file name, but can not get the correct grep.

  Any thoughts?

  Thanks in advance,

  GR

  Vel code will replace all instances of lowercase 'z' by 'H' capital - even those in the path of the file.

  Better try this:

  myDocName = app.activeDocument.fullName.path+'/'+app.activeDocument.fullName.name.replace (/ ^ z/i, 'H');

  (Looking for the GREP code probably is ' ^'-beginning of the 'line', in this case equal the beginning of the string.)

• How can I change the unrecognizable FrameMaker file format?  Why has he become unrecognizable after changing the file name?

  I update an existing project in the FrameMaker10, which is located in a structure of book.  I changed the names of the files in the directory, they upgrade 11 FrameMaker and saved.  When I try to add them to the book (whose name I also updated) a problem for some files. When I try t add them to the book file, I get an error message that says that the book file is unrecognizable.  (It allows me to add it, but it appears in the file book with an icon that has a blue "M" in there.)  Why is that happening and how can I change these files to normal FrameMaker files?  Thank you.

  Try to open the problem files using a text editor or viewer of files to see what the first bytes contain. Contains all the binary files valid FM FM 11 in the first bytes of the file.

  During the updating of the books, it is sometimes better just to create a new address book file and add files to it.

  When you rename files in a book, changes at the level of the system will break any links/cross-references between files, so it is always best to use the option rename book in the file to change the names of files FM. This will keep the correct links.
