Rename a batch script and link images?

Hello, everyone!

First of all, I did search for this before asking and found many similar scripts for this, but as I don't know how to make or edit scripts, I could not use them...

I work in a company that produces school books. Each InDesign file that we can have hundreds of images of various extensions (.eps, .ai, .psd, .tif).

We must now rename these images to a naming system defect that we defined. It takes hours or even days to do it manually.

These images have currently changed names, so we would need to ignore what is there, just need us a prefix configurable (as "EF6_ESP_C1_"), then a number starting at 0001 4-digit and the rest of the numbering (if there are say a .tif and then a .ai, it should be 0001.tif and 0002.ai), then the extension that she already had.

Preferably, but not not mandatory, if one could read that the image already had a "EQ" in the name of the file, he could rename them to another prefix and counting those separately from 0001, while we work equation images separately, but if this is impossible or is too difficult to do, so just have named and numbered with others.
-What someone would be kind enough to help me with this? Thank you very much!

Try this,

var doc = app.activeDocument,
    links = doc.allGraphics, count = 1, eqcount = 1, a = "0000";
for(var i=links.length-1;i>=0;i--)
{
        if(links[i].itemLink.name.match(/^EQ.+/))
        {
                var ext = links[i].itemLink.name.substr(links[i].itemLink.name.lastIndexOf(".")),
                    old = File(links[i].itemLink.filePath),
                    eqnum = (eqcount++).toString(),
                    newname = "EQ_EF6_ESP_C1_" + a.substring(0, a.length - eqnum.length) + eqnum + ext;
                old.rename(newname);
                links[i].itemLink.relink(File(old.toString().replace(links[i].itemLink.name,newname)))
            }
        else
        {
                var ext = links[i].itemLink.name.substr(links[i].itemLink.name.lastIndexOf(".")),
                    old = File(links[i].itemLink.filePath),
                    num = (count++).toString(),
                    newname = "EF6_ESP_C1_" + a.substring(0, a.length - num.length) + num + ext
                old.rename(newname);
                links[i].itemLink.relink(File(old.toString().replace(links[i].itemLink.name,newname)))
            }
    }

Please note: it is not reversible.

Kind regards

  • Script Batch convert all linked images?

    Does anyone know of a script that I can use to convert all my files related to JPEG? I have to give the ID file to the client with hundreds of related images and don't want to have to convert all the files PSD one (and link).

    Bonus: change all the names of the CUSTOMER files - NAME_001.jpg

    Thank you!!

    In my opinion, this can be done without the help of a script.

    You'll need a PhotoShop action and batch processing in PhotoShop to make the conversion from PSD files to jpg.

    Then in InDesign connect images PSD selected in the folder of links with the command bind again file Extensions that allows to choose the good suffix, jpg, be reprinted from the PSD with the same name, but a different suffix. (InDesign CS5 and above)

  • [ADF, JDev12.1.3] When you rename problems see criteria and link vars used in VO

    Hallo,

    1)

    I changed the name of a view VO criterion, but I'm not able to buld the project.

    Error: myapp.model.vo.MyVO: could not find the referenced object. Object =VC_OLD_NAME Owner = myapp.model.vo.MyVO

    But if I look everywhere in the application I'm not VC_OLD_NAME.

    How can I solve this problem?

    When you rename a VC, JDev auto updates all references to this VC in the application? Or I don't have to worry about it?

    2)

    I renamed a binding var defined for a VO where clause.

    JDev seems to auto update all references to this var binding, but the strange thing is that, in the original Version, the old name is still present (he doesn't).

    Why?

    3)

    Perhaps in the future I would better take not to rename this kind of objects?

    Thank you

    Federico

    1)

    JDev sometimes has problems with refactoring.

    Maybe you can try to close jdev and remove .data folder in your project.

    2)

    Because there is no exact reference to link var if you need to change this manually.

    3)

    Perhaps in the future the jdev will have less bugs

  • How do you define subfolders in the images of Muse and link to the main image folder?

    Currently I have my site set up where I have two subfolders in my main site. So when I export everything that I need to go to the pages that I end up putting in subfolders and relink the code in the main folder to find his images. For example:

    Main folder:

    index.html

    Other.html

    Slot (in main folder) folder:

    index.html (this file is exported to the main folder and then I hang out in this folder and re-edit the code)

    I re - edit the code to make the page work again. "Code example: href =".. /.. /

    Not just href but image and script and so on.

    It's a lot of work because I have a lot of these courses. So whenever I export I have to open all of these files and re-edit each time. In this way is to risky for me as I hope that I do not miss it and download my site broke which gives a bad image for my website.

    Ideas, any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

    Hi Rob,

    Sanjit response copies to your message on Facebook

    Unfortunately we are unable to define this structure of folder while exporters of Muse Muse will store the files exported to the destination-specific folder path. The only way is the manual way to link the pages to the main domain as you're already done this or create separate sites and upload them to the same field but with different folder destinations.

    If its on several areas, then 2015 Muse includes functionality to add several areas when downloading from the site to the server.

    Thank you

  • Help with a script to remove the link "Place and link" content

However, I have about 200 indesign documents that are all full of content that has been 'placed and connected '. One I get a script to unlink content, I can add it to a batch routine to make the record of 200.

  • preloadNetThing and an image script dynamic php

    I have a php script that generates a gif image, based on a GET variable. for example which is called like this:
    ' http://whatever/bitmapPixel.php?color=00ff00'
    Now if it is downloaded and cached how I reference the filename of member property? When I use the url above as being the property of file name of members it errors when my script points to the Member. The Member is in the cast, but no file name is attached.
    I tried to use ' http://whatever/pixel.png' just to test if there is a problem with my script and it works fine.

    In similar circumstances, I managed to put the name of a member of bitmap file to a URL that generated an image on the fly through a PHP script. The secret was to start with a member of the bitmap that was already linked to an external file dummy. If I tried to put the name of a standard member file bitmap (not related), no picture has been imported.

    Is that what this fits your situation?

    Sandra,

    As stated by Craig Administrator's Guide is a good option.

    Let me give you a few steps I did in one of my projects.

    Open the command prompt and navigate to the location "C:\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\products\DataRelationshipManagement\client\batch-client"... here you can see many see as well other utilities.

    DRM-batch-customer - credentials.exe is the one that is used to encrypt the user name and password.

    Open this in the command prompt and choose the application that you want to encrypt the password.

    then remove the username and password from command script can run it... It does what you want

    Moved the folder "Pictures" of Mac and catalog image files shows no images. Cannot navigate to the appropriate folder in 'Files' Panel and cannot rename the folder "Images". How can I reconnect catalog image files?

    You opened an empty catalog.

    You can try the following two steps to open the appropriate catalog file.

    1. Use the file-> open recent, open the list of all catalogs
    2. If this does not work, you will need to find the appropriate help for your operating system catalog file and double-click it to open it.

  • Links in the JPG and GIF images.

    Hello Board,

    I do a few JPGs & GIFs animated for my site and my CMS allows the images to link to only a single link; for example, it

    connects the entire image.  Is it possible to incorporate multiple links in a single image, and THEN upload to a CMS?  If so, how?

    JPG and GIF image files may not contain even a single link. Links are only made by HTML.

    You can crop the image (see Photoshop help on "cutting") then apply unique to every links in the editor WYSIWYG CMS'.

    You can also manually enter an HTML image map for a single image file if your CMS allows raw HTML and does not filter this type of entry.

    That is to say

    the my_server checking to 123.456.78.9 echo

    Could someone tell how can I get the dns to resolve address from "myserver.domain.com' as a variable in order, can I use it

  • Difference in size of the Parent unit and linked clone

    Hi team,

    I do view Vsphere 5.2 implementation Horizon. Implementation goes smoothly, but I saw a c disk space difference of Parent and Linked clone.

    Windows 7 with Service pack 1 built with optimization script to disable unwanted services. Free space on the drive c image parent is 3.90 Go. When I put in service a clone related in this snapshot of parent picture I found free space in linked clone vdi is about 6.5 GB.

    Please specify if anyone face the same or it is normal in the linked clone.

    Thank you

    Ravindra.

    You use a disposable disc?    When you use a disk file page flies on this disc which may explain the difference in free space.

  • Can you have folders in you folder of images and the images are visible?

    Can you have records in your image folder and the images still be seen? I have a graphic file with images and they can be seen on the site, however if I insert files in the pictures folder, the images are not displayed, are what I did or is not possible with dreamweaver?

    I.e. graphic > pendants > outdoor shots.

    Inside or the other of the two last records images do not appear on my site!

    Images can be shown no matter where they are in your site. The only downside is that you have a working image link.

    For example, Graphic/Pendants/Exteriors_Shots/myImage.png note underscore in the path. This is because many browsers interpret too much space. This means that your subdirectory should be renamed accordingly.

  • Batch processing with an image overlay

    Is it possible to batch processing with an image overlay in FW CS4?

    I'm trying to resize several hundred images and place the corners rounded on them.

    If this cannot be done in FW, does anyone know of another program that could do this?

    Hi Marje,

    It is possible to include resizing and image overlay in a custom Fireworks command that can be used in batch mode.  For starters, you can check out this tutorial which deals with the first step.

    This article describes how to perform the resizing of the image and the overlay (in this case, a watermark) and then how to record the steps and turn in a custom control that can be used later in batch mode.

    Once you have registered the custom command, click on file > Batch process, follow the steps below:

    1. In the first window, select the images you want to process.
    2. On the next screen, open the drop-down menu commands , and select the custom command you created (it will probably be on the bottom of the list), and then click the Add button to include in the list of the batch process.
    3. Finally, on the next screen select the location of the processed files and possibly save the script of commands for later use.

    Good luck!
