InDesign force file name default .indd matches name .indt

Hello

I work for a photography business that uses dozens of models of .indt InDesign to create customized documents .indd, then a PDF file for printing. Employees of a local server access patterns and then save the file .indd with a specific name to a different location. So far, so normal.

Now, it is essential that the .indd file named correctly so that our printing software to recognize it. At the present time, default to an .indd file name given in the dialog "save under" will be something like 'Untitled - 36.indd', that we must change the appropriate name for the rip to read very carefully.

.Indt files already have the appropriate name, so is there a way to force InDesign to save the .indd with the same name as its parent by default template, rather than "Untitled - XX.indd' as it does now?" It may seem trivial, but it would really save us a lot of time, not to mention the printing errors, if that were possible.

We CS6 running on Windows 7 computers and to access models and save documents on a Linux server.

Thank you!

Ryan.

You cannot change the behavior for saving models.

There is no structural difference between a .indt file and an .indd. the different extension simply raises a default logon method: .indd opens as the original and security (if you don't accidentally overwrite them with content) .indt files open as the default copies without a title. IF and that's a big IF, your people can count on him to never hit record (only Save AS) and still to navigate to new folders to save documents, then recording as .indb models (and you can just change the extension on existing ones) would preserve the names. Marking these "models" read-only must add a layer of security.

  • [ID CS3 (Win)] - where InDesign stores my name of PDF file?

    Have you experience this before? You have a document (let's call it "MyDoc.indd") and you want to use as a base for a new document ("NewDoc.indd").

    If you open MyDoc, save as "NewDoc. You are now working on NewDoc.

    Some time later, you go to NewDoc export to PDF and remembers MyDoc and recommends as file name for the PDF file. If you change the file name for your PDF file, and then save your INDD file, it will now remember the new name as your default PDF name.

    But what happens if you want to change this beforehand, for example: you are not ready to export the file, but you want to make sure that when you (or someone else does) that they use the correct file name?

    -Tom

    PS: I noticed that this behavior is different on a Mac and a PC.

    If you use the default name for your PDF, which is the same as the .indd file name no export name is stored in the data file. However, if you export and change the name, THEN SAVE THE FILE, exported new name will be written in the data file and will not survive another record just one save slot, and the only way to remove it is to export to .idml/.inx.

  • Default file name: Windows and scan Windows (Windows 7)

    How to change you the file name by default for a scan? I tried the method below:

    "To change the file name by default for a scanned document or photo, right click on the name of the file in the view of Scan and then click Rename."

    For me, this method only renames the current file and does not affect the value 'default'. Furthermore, is it possible to assign a unique number or the date (s) default file name? This is important when the follow-up documents.

    Thank you.

    That's what it's supposed to do, rename the current file.  There is no way to change the default name prior to his assignment to a digital file, however, I think that you can change the name before saving it.  No, there is no way to assign something unique default file name.

  • Is there a way to drop an image in indesign and then have captioned under that file name?

    Hello! I'm looking to help a colleague in a rationalization process. We display the full page of images in an Indesign Document, and every time we drop and image on a page, then we change the caption under the file name. I was wondering if there is a way to automate this process? All the scripts available?

    When you place an image you can activate the capture feature. There are the normal and live versions. The normal label creates a text is text, the live version creates a variable that would change if the image or the text of the meta-information changes, but it behaves as a single character which causes problems how the text will run in the text block.

    What is drawn on the Meta must be set up before in the legend, in place option.

    When you drag and drop an image from the finder or bridge you can not enable this option.

    BTW I use another way that seems faster. I assign a shortcut to the command of labelling and when I imported the image, I click on this shortcut, and secondly, I apply an object style that formats the text block including the paragraph style which can be different on a dark or light picture or a graphic.

    Normally, I edit all meta-information in Adobe Bridge, which is the fastest way to cope.

  • File name of the Image displayed in PSE 8 does not match the file path name in Windows 7

    I recently got a new computer. I've updated on my computer Windows XP of PSE 5.0 to 8.0 PSE.  Then, I moved my files to the new computer that is running Windows 7, following the instructions that I have received on a previous post.  I copied the catalog file and the image files on the C drive of the old computer to the new computer (file catalog to the specified location in the information system;  images of my images).   Everything seems to have worked beautifully without having to go through a great struggle to reconnect.  The organzer seems to have found all of the images and I can put them in the editor as well.  However, when I look at the properties of a given image displayed full file name is that it was on XP: C:\Documents and Settings\ < username > \My Documents\My Pictures\ < folder name >-< Filename > rather than the path as it is in Windows 7, i.e. C:\Users\ < username > \My Pictures\ < file name >-< Filename >.  I am new to Windows 7 then maybe miss me something unique to Windows 7 but I'd like information.

    You are using the alias of the special folder that Vista and Windows 7 create to maintain backward compatibility (Microsoft continues to change how and where are stored the documents of users).   On Windows 7:

    C:\Documents and Settings\\My Documents\My photos

    is a special type of alias in the file:

    C:\Users\\Pictures

    (AndC:\Users \My Pictures is yet another kind of Windows 7 special alias, a 'library', which includes the folder C:\Users\Pictures.)

    Whenever an application like PES refers to the old location, C:\Documents and Settings\\My Documents\My photos, Windows that automatically converts backstage in C:\Users\\Pictures.   But Windows Explorer is configured to prevent you to access C:\Documents and Settings\ interactively - only programs like PES are able to do.  Microsoft wants users of Windows Explorer to always use the name of 'new', C:\Users\\Pictures.

    In your case, your catalog contained the old paths of XP folder, and Windows is automatically translate on the fly for new paths, unbeknownst to PSE.

    Like most of the backward compatibility hacks, this does not work perfectly.  PSE believe that the old road and new road are two completely different cases.  I'm not positive, but I think that there are opportunities for PSE to get confused by that.   When you import new pictures, they get recorded in the Catalog under the new folder paths.

    In my previous recommendation about how to move to the new computer, I had assumed you would probably change user names and locations of photo and so you would have to make a reconnection, and you would not have met it.  If I thought that you were not have need to reconnect, I would have recommended not not using this method, but rather using Backup/Restore (my first recommended method) - my bad.

    It would be nice if your current catalog and the PES works pretty well.   But there is at least a small risk that the road of PSE will get confused by old and new folder names.  The best way to avoid this would be to start again and use the backup/restore method to move your catalogue, which is more effort on your part.  But because I do not understand the risk, I can't tell you if you should be worried about it.   No doubt do tests: editing, import and edition of new photos, use view > view of the location of the folder, try to rename and move the old photos and the new folders, try the Photo Downloader, etc.

    Hello

    When you create a new indd file in ID CS6, a set of tags para etc have been automatically loaded in the new doc. Today, I open a new file and it opened with only a database para tag. I know some years ago, I created a sort of default file that included all the settings I wanted as a default value for any new project, backed up where Adobe me and baptized what Adobe me ID will look for when creating new documents.

    Create a file with all the styles that you want, save and close. With no file open in the Panel switch paragraph and Styles from the dropdown choose load all styles... Choose the file that you saved with your styles and load them, then close the ID and relaunch. All new files from the file > new... should have these styles.

    You can also save files empty (or non-empty) with any configuration page and the selection of styles predefined as InDesign templates. You access those via file > open...

  • [JS] [CS5/6] Character encoding of XML image href file name?

    I have an XML file that I am important with a XSLT transformation and is one of the processed elements to create an element of the image by using the value in the name element as follows

      <xsl:template match="name">
    
      <entry>
    
      <xsl:copy-of select="."/>
      <xsl:element name="entryImg">
      <xsl:attribute name="href">
      <xsl:value-of select="concat('file:///Users/MacBook/Desktop/', text(), '.jpeg')"/>
      </xsl:attribute>
      </xsl:element>
    
      </entry>
    

    This works very well for the name components with the values of text as a receiver, androgens, but for elements of name with the text as of Annexin values where characters such as "serve INDD cannot find the image when I place the XML code in the page.

    Screen Shot 2013-06-15 at 5.52.16 PM.png

    In the pane structure, the href text is precise and the file exists with the special characters in the specified location.

    Screen Shot 2013-06-15 at 5.46.49 PM.png

    Is this an encoding issue? Is there something I can do in XSLT, INDD or JS so that even images with file names that use special characters correctly placed? I work on mac and PC (not sure if encoding would be specific to the platform).

    Any idea is appreciated.

    Lindsay

    You'd probably like the file name with a url encoder, such as overall encodeURI() JS function. A normal apostrophe (U0027) should not need to be coded, but a single right quote (U2019) will be. I don't think that XSLT 1.0, InDesign uses, has a built-in function to do it, but I bet someone out there has built a model named for XSLT 1.0, you may pass through.

  • Titles or subtitles of the file name?

    Is it possible to automatically generate the titles or subtitles of the file name? I have a video made up of several small files and you need to insert their names under the name of a chapter, or at least as a subtitle. FCPX only supports to support the generation of TC.

    The short answer (obtuse) is not. Not in FCPX alone.

    I seriously doubt you will be interested in this procedure, but someone might be.

    You need movement (this is the only expense here), TextWrangler and a droplet of Automator (see below).

    First, gather all your files of clips in a folder.

    Drop the file on the files in the folder (the automator app/drop) that will create a text file with the names of all files in the folder. When you are prompted to save the file, you can name it and save it wherever you want.

    Gout Gets the names of files from the Finder, and they are complete paths, such as:

    / Users/fx/Desktop/txtLicenses/Aardvark Cafe readme.txt

    [You can download a copy of the 'Files in the folder' drop HERE ]

    Open a window in TextWrangler, and then drag the text file to a blank page (very cool - TextWrangler automatically opens the file with drag and drop.) [TextWrangler is FREE of Barebones.com (http://www.barebones.com/products/textwrangler/) software, everyone should have a copy! The most recent version is 5.0.2 in date 25/12/2015]

    Type the command + F to open the Find/Replace dialog box. Make sure that Grep is checked.

    To find them, use this regex:

    .*\/(.+)\.. +

    [translated: find everything up to and including the last ' / ' character, can find everything up to the last period and save it as a game (the parenthesis) and then find everything at the end of the line]

    As an alternative, use:

    \1\n

    [Translated: prints the substring and adds a newline character - it will be double space lines of text]

    In the drop-down menu with the label of 'g', save... (model - something like Remove Path and FileType) so you can find it again easily.

    The text from the above example will become:

    Aardvark Cafe readme

    [and will follow an empty line]

    [I recommend you do all your spelling at this point.] Make sure that all text is as you want it to appear in FCPX. Repair later gets a bit dicey. and generally it is a good idea to start over if you need to make changes to the text file.]

    Save the file with another file in TXT format.

    On the move:

    Create a project generator. It can be almost any length, so accept the default value of 10 seconds. You will be stretching out in FCPX in any case.

    Add: Generators > text > file

    [You can use the Inspector to Format to choose the font, size, etc. and the inspector looks for color and 3D options].

    In the Inspector of the generator, find the section, load your text file

    Set the speed to Custom

    Reset the Custom speed setting

    Publish the speed of Custom setting slider

    Save in FCPX (and create a category called subtitles)

    When you save the generator in FCPX, the file being used is hard-copied in the media for access folder. You cannot publish the setting browse generator, so all files subtitles prepared in this way are projects of "One Shot". You can throw away them once your project is completed because their utility essentially died with the FCPX project.

    In FCPX, apply the generator to the plot and develop it to adapt to the length.

    Keyframe of the lines of text to match the timing of your video. This is where double spacing will be useful because it is a real pain in simple lines of keyframe and you will need a bit of space for a step-by-step. You can, of course, import the audio portion of your story in motion, create a project for quite a long time for the entire length and key image subtitles in movement. You can export as, eventually, the subtitle project as ProRes (if you do not use 4444, then you can apply the Composite blend mode add to the layer that you use in FCPX as the background should be black.)

    If all of your clips are the same length of time, then using the subtitle generator is a snap. Set a keyframe at 0 for the appearance of the first line and in the end, the last line should appear, simply drag the speed until the last line shows control (should be at or close to 100%). The generator systematically displays a single line both throughout the progression of his 'read'

    I found that the faster is to import the audio in motion and create a Motion project, the length of the audio used for subtitles + a little extra at the end.  Listen to the audio, and for each line that you display, add a keyframe... little whatever it is. When there is a keyframe for each line, listen again and adjust keyframe values to display the line. This will leave you with linear transitions from one image to another key (and overlapping in some cases, or the appearance of lines before image real key because of "Rounding errors") - is NOT a problem! Just select 1 keyframe, type command + A to select all the keyframes, and then right-click on a keyframe and select constant on the menu drop down. This will create a step-by-step through each value and you give the * discreet * timing you have need for the text to appear at the right time.  Remove the audio track and save the project as a generator of FCPX... it is faster and easier to export a track video overlay.

    You need movement 5.1.x or better (there are serious problems with 5.0 versions and file generator.)

    I know it doesn't look like it, but this method of captioning is much easier than ANY other software of captioning I've tried in the past... NO timecode or the special formatting is required... other recommended spacing to double.

  • Increments with saveAs file name

    Hi all

    I am trying to create a script that called the current file as w1.pdf and then eventually would name the file w2, etc..

    If we are working on w9.pdf and run the script, you guessed it... W10.PDF

    Can I use the increment with saveAs operand? All of my efforts just keep adding things on behalf of file, not incrementtally by changing the file name.

    Thanks in advance for any help,

    Hello Kent, of course it is possible.  But of course must do from a script from folder level, because unable to use the Save function as in a script of a document.

    The basic technique is to acquire the name of file, determine if it matches the expected format and to analyze the current number.  Increment the number, and then generate a new file name.

    For example, copy the following code uses a regular expression to perform the task:

    Corresponds to 'l' followed one or two digits

    var rgFlNm = / ^ w (\d {1,2});

    If (rgFlNm.test (this.documentFileName))

    {

    var NouveauNomFichier = 'w' (Number(RegExp.$1) + 1) m:System.NET.SocketAddress.ToString ();

    this.saveAs (newFileName);

    }

    on the other

    App.Alert ("file name does not match the expected format");

    Here, the code displays an alert if name of file format does not match 'w', followed by one or two digits.  But you could have the default filename or ask the user what they want to do.

  • Unmasking the exported files file name extension

    Hello

    When you export a Pages (PDF, DOCX...) file (.pdf, .docx...) file name extension is hidden automatically, even if it appears in the file save dialog box. As it is for most of the files that will be sent to the employees on a PC, see the file extension name is very important.

    Is it possible to force Pages to let these visible extensions?

    Thank you!

    Paolo

    It belongs to your PC users own parameters so they have file extensions or not.

    On a Mac, just select the file and Get Info (command I) then check the box show the file extension .

    There is also a checkbox in the Save dialog to show or hide the extension.

  • Try to restore a lost Thunderbird profile, but can't "move profile" because the file names are too long

    I'm having a problem with Thunderbird that is addressed in several comments here and on "mozillaZine", but trying to follow the instructions for fixing it, I ran into a new problem that I see not addressed. The initial problem is that described in this thread, where my files and everything just disappeared, and I am invited to start to create a new profile:

    https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/questions/1040003

    Following the links in this thread, I get to this - and since my address book has also apparently gone, I click the internal link to the section titled 'Lost profile':

    http://KB.mozillazine.org/Recovering_a_profile_that_suddenly_disappeared

    Step 1 then sent me here:

    http://KB.mozillazine.org/Moving_your_profile_folder_-_Thunderbird

    Step 2 on this page says: "Copy the profile folder where you want to store." When I try to do it, however (using Windows Explorer on Windows 7), he gets to halfway through the copy and then hang up because it clashes with a file name that is too long to copy. And according to the prompt that tells me this, there are many more yet to come long file names.

    Ignore this error and I just ignore these files? That means the copy of profile won't be complete, which I think would be dangerous or would just cause other errors. Or is there some simpler way quite do what I originally planned to do, which is to recover the profile which has mysteriously disappeared?

    Again, I'm under Thunderbird on Windows 7 and it was used for years without ever encountering this extremely irritating glitch. I'll be grateful for any help.

    Here are three different approaches, I suggest:

    1 see https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/using-multiple-profiles and see if you can switch to that you want to use the Profile Manager.

    2. While TB is NOT running, use a prompt with the following commands: Note: place the entire path in quotation marks.

    • CD "the full path of your current profile directory name '.
    • xcopy "the full path of your"good"profile name" / s/h
    • now check with the Windows Explorer, and switch to him as above

    3 change "profiles.ini" (using a text editor such as Notepad) to point to the profile 'good '. "profiles.ini" looks like this:

    [General]
    StartWithLastProfile = 1

    [Profile0]
    Name = default
    IsRelative = 1 * change this to 0 *.
    Path = yt20rg5n.default * change this to the path and the name of your profile of "good."
    Default = 1

    Let me know how it turns out.
