How to get LR using a unique name for each file?

Hey there,

I see that LR does not change the name of the file when there is already a file with the same name in the import file, but once you choose another folder it does not matter the file with the original name. I just realized that over the years using folders such as photos 2009 Photos 2010 and so forth, I have three or four times the files with the same name. Is there a way to tell LR to always use unique names when importing?

Use a naming date-description model - sequence.ext to rename as you import (or if you prefer after importation). This means that you have never duplicates unless you for some weird reason use the same description for two sets of files on the same day. And if you need to do exactly that, just the starting number of the second/third batch of files be a number greater than previous batch on the same day.

You can configure what ever format naming you want in file rename dialogue and have as a default.

Leaving the file names as they come out of the device application in big trouble as invariably they're going to duplicate, which is not an even if good idea in different folders.

  • Merge to PDF - create a unique name for each PDF file

    I have been regularly mail merge documents to PDF using Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel for quite some time, but once I have a long list of PDF documents I then have to rename each to what it must be rather than 'PDFMailer123 '.

    Which would save me a lot of time with the renaming of the documents is so trying to create the PDF (with Adobe Acrobat), he was able to pick up a field in the worksheet excel information fusion to name the document.

    Is there a way to do this?

    Yes, it can be done if you do direct mail using a script.

  • When we use a unique index for PK?

    I was reading this part of the manual oracle:

    http://docs.Oracle.com/CD/B28359_01/server.111/b28310/indexes003.htm#ADMIN11727

    I got confused because I was trying to research why sometimes, we want to create a primary key by using a unique index.

    CREATE A UNIQUE MYTABLE_PK ON MYTABLE INDEX

    (START_DT, ANNUAL)

    LOGGING

    TABLESPACE TBS_INDEX01

    NOPARALLEL;

    ALTER TABLE MYTABLE ADD)

    CONSTRAINT MYTABLE_PK

    KEY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

    (START_DT, ANNUAL)

    WITH THE HELP OF INDEX MYTABLE_PK);

    And sometimes we simply create the primary key without using a unique index.

    ALTER TABLE MYTABLE ADD)

    CONSTRAINT PK_MYTABLE

    KEY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

    (START_DT, ANNUAL)

    THE HELP INDEX);

    When we use a unique index for PK?

    James, you have returned to the question thread.

    I apologize: I'm sorry, user8875620, your son has been hijacked. A UK or PK constraint needs an index. You can create a (unique or non-unique) explicitly, or you can let Uncle Oracle create it implicitly when you define the constraint.

    For example, in the table max/min for the first three columns would be 45/23, 14/10, 80/67.

    Chuck,

    With color on your bars, you should have enough experience to understand this.

    You're a loop in the table already.  Now you just need a function like table Max and min. loop.  And you may need to transpose the table 2D.
