CreateDate filename

I am importing a bunch of old clips at home in Lightroom.  I had the good idea (I think I did?) on behalf of the yymmdd_hhmmss of files so I can see when they were captured and sort them in order.  Now that I am them copy it to my new storage and import the files into Lightroom SOME receive the 'Capture Date' of today.  Is it possible to change "Date of Capture" metadata using the file name string...?

Thank you 1 million,

There is no way to do in LR.  However, if you are experienced with scripting, you can write a script that retrieves the date file name and uses Exiftool to assign the date in the appropriate metadata field. Then in LR, you'd metadata > read metadata file to tell LR to read the metadata of the file in the catalog.

  • Display of original filenames of the photos?

    My older photos have file names that provide a description of the content of the photo.

    In the latest version of Photos for Mac, only a limited number of characters is visible in the details pane.

    is it possible to display the full name of the original file to the photos? (There used to be an option "Show in Finder", but that seems to have disappeared).

    Thank you

    You can click the Info Panel file name field, enter ⌘A to select all, then copy and paste the name of the file where you want, for example, the title field or description.

    The title will be shown, if you enlarge the photo.

  • How can I copy the list of names of files in the finder and set the Clipboard filenames separated by commas?

    Hi guys, I was wonder if anyone can give me a hand with a script.

    I need to be able to paste a list of file names of the files as follows:

    0001.jpg 0002.jpg 0003.jpg 0004.jpg

  • Name of file & Auto increment filename generation

    Hello

    I want my program to automatically create a file name, I'm using the "Filename" which was available online generator and also the "single file name" VI. The way im using this is, I let the user select a path and the path to the file name generator.vi. The output of this VI is the entrance of the single filename.vi. And the output of this VI is the root where the actual output file will be. Im getting an error:

    7 open/create/replace the file in spreadsheet error write String.vi-> .vi write to the spreadsheet (string) file-> write header & Waveform Ref.vi-> Main.vi

    I enclose my main VI and two screws above the frames png file that contains these functions is also attached.

    Is there a way to get over this?

    Thank you

    Hello ducta9,

    Looks like you're currently writing custom file Express VI configured to 'save to file' - this means that all the data for a given session will be saved in the same file.  The file number will be incremented only once the application is restarted or the Boolean Reset entry has the value True.  If you want to save on a series of files, select the option "Save to a series of files" and configure the Express VI as needed to generate new files at intervals.

    If you want to write blocks of variable data to a new file size whenever the user clicks the Activate button, you may be able to get away with wiring just a real constant for the Reset.  I would recommend when to even take a look at the options available in the recording of a series of settings files.

    I had saved my files on my hard drive (I know, I know, that's how dumb that... lol).  I think I have duplicates, reanalyses even perhaps files on the hard drive.  My concern is that many names are displayed in blue color text and they are also listed elsewhere on the hard drive.  Duplicate filenames of colored text blue or even system created versions of my files?

    Hello

    What are actually color encoding defined by Windows in the NTFS file system to facilitate the Identification of the type of file/folder
    For example: names of files encrypted and compressed files/folder appear in green or blue. You can also set whether you want to display this color:
    In, click Tools, Folder Options , and then on the tab display Windows Explorer.
    In the advanced settings list scroll down until you see Show encrypted or compressed NTFS in color.
    Select or clear the check mark (as you wish)
    So you see this file/folder of green, blue are the files not double or triple.
    To find the clone files in your system, you can use a program like CCleaner which is easily accessible through the internet. But before you delete the clone you must be sure that you delete all system files, only files personal, or else it will create big problems.

    You can check this link for CCleaner: http://download.cnet.com/ccleaner/
