Photoshop Elements :: Smart Fix Filenames
Mar 12, 2014
I use smart fix to process multiple files in organizer. Smart fix creates a new version of each file with a filename with "_edited-1" added to the original filename. I then flatten version set, and tell Photoshop to delete the original files. Now I have the edited files, all with the "_edited-1" filename format. I want to retain the original picture filename. Outside of Photoshop, I can bulk rename the photos to get rid of the "_edited-1" additions to the filenames, but then Photoshop needs to rebuild the database. There must be a simpler way to edit all the photos and retain the original photo filenames. I'm using Photoshop Elements 11 and am inexperienced with the package.

If I want to drag over several pictures from the grid to an album or choose for them printing, as soon as I highlight more than one the file name stops showing in the information box. Therefore I can't figure out which pictures to highlight (after I have spent a long time analyzing each one individually). Some of my shots are so similar that I need the file name to choose the correct ones for the batch I want. Is there a way to see the filenames in the grid?

how do display the filename UNDER each thumbnail in the Elements 12 Organizer and NOT just on the right side of the screen? I see the date and rating under each thumbnail, but not the filename.

Anybody able to point me in the direction of a plug-in/software that will add the filenames to a batch of 200 images and then assimilate them into a template, ready for printing?
I use CS and can do this in Picture Package a few at a time but it is a little cumbersome. I am a school photographer.

Question about saving images through an action. According to the 7.0 help manual, I should leave the filename as the default if I want my files to be saved with consecutive names (i.e. image01,image02, etc).
I created an action to do a number of things before saving my file.. everything works great except that photoshop keeps saving my file as 'untitled-1.jpg,' which overwrites the previous file of the same name. What can i do? Feel free to IM as well.

I just upgraded from Photoshop Elements 6 to Elements 10. In the Elements 6 release you can do a FIND on all untagged items, so I can easily find all pictures that I have not yet gotten around to tagging.
On Elements 10 I find that the software has automatically added a "Smart Tag" tag to ALL of my pictures, making the FIND UNTAGGED useless. I assumed this happened when I converted my catalog. I have now gone back and disabled the Smart Tag feature (now that I know about it) so that new pictures will NOT get Smart Tegged. However, my database of tens of thousands of pictures has been contaminated by Smart Tags.
Is there anyway to get all the Smart Tags cleared out of the database so I can find the pictures that I have not yet manually tagged?Alternately, is there a way to find pictures that have a Smart Tag but no manual tag?

There are no Smart albums displayed. nor is 'create new smart album' displayed as an available option when I click on the + Album button. When I try to create a new album 'last 6 months' (which I know was pre-created as a smart album in a previous version of element) a warning message that this album already exists is displayed, but I can find no way to locate this smart album or create a new smart album? Is my newly downloaded Elements 11 corrupted in some way, or are the smart albums just hidden and need making visible in some way?

I updated my software from Elements 7 to 11 some weeks ago but I'm still not happy with the structure of my new Organizer. I'm a planespotter which means something like collecting photos of different aircrafts and airlines like post stamps. In PSE 7 I used the tag- and category-tool for organizing these photos by airport. This part works in PSE 11 as well.But I also used to create one 'Smart-Album' for each airline I've ever seen. The big advantage was that I had to create such an album for just one time and every photo I ever named e.g. "Lufthansa" was automatically sorted into the corresponding smart-album. So I had a list that showed all airlines I've taken at least one photo of.
I know that Adobe replaced the smart-albums in PSE 11 by the 'saved searches'. But I don't like this tool, it's not what I'm looking for. I want a visible list of my airlines and it should be created more or less intuitively/automatically, to have not more to do manually than before (efficiency and clarity is very important to me thinking of 5000+ photos and 300+ airlines).
So my questions would be:
1. Is there any possibility to manage it the way I described above in PSE 11?
2. If not, anything that could be suitable for my requirements?

1. Is there a way for masking each smart filter separately on a single smart object other than nesting one smart object into the another?
2. Is there a way for removing the previously created smart object?
I mean ... let's say I have a smart object containing four layers. Can I remove smart object from these layers?

We are using Autocad 2012 and 2012LT in our office and with this version started using the built in feature of DWG to PDF. One issue we have come across is, if we create a pdf file and then need to recreate the same file we can not overwrite the existing file. We are forced to either give the new file a different name or go back and delete the existing file prior to creating the new one.

I know a file with the same attributes of an existing image cannot have the same filename and that duplicates will add '-2. But the images I'm importing are not already in a Lightroom catalog. I don't understand why Lightroom is adding '-2' to the end of each filename.

Detail Smart Brush use to have the same brightness as Smart Brush as in Bright Eyes, Whiten Teeth, etc. Now when I use Smart Brush, I get the same brightness as always, but when I try to use the Detail Brush, it is darker than Smart Brush. It used to be that I could go over an area as many times as I wanted without an accumulation of brightness with the Detail Brush. Now if I go over an area I already went over, it lightens it more. Have I done something to cause this? How can I get it back to the way it was before (and the way I can still use Elements 11 which I did not uninstall). I tried Sign Out, uninstall and making a new install but the problem was there again. Is it possible that this was updated by Adobe and intentionally changed?

I’m working with an external team of artists and they supply meshes to me in .3ds file format. They just upgraded to 3ds Max 2013, and now the materials defined in the .3ds files don’t seem to have textures associated with them. I can see using a binary diff on the file versions that the material names have also been contracted to just their first letters. I have found the material names elsewhere in the file, but not the texture filenames.
Has something changed in the .3ds exporter with Max 2013? The files are coming out significantly smaller, which is good, but without the textures in materials I can’t use them.

I'm trying to move to a new computer (goign from an OS X system to a Windows 7 system), and I've discovered that one of the characters I've been using in some of my filenames is illegal in Windows. I need to change that character so these filenames are acceptable to Windows without losing the associations in LR (virtual copies, metadata, etc.). However, I can't seem to find a way o do this in LR. There are too many of them to do this one at a time, either renaming them individually in LR or using another utility to bulk rename and then reassociating the files individually in LR. Is there a solution to this I am missing?

Is there a way to have VSP3x retain the filenames of captured components? It seems to like renaming my videos from "Video XYZ" to "1110024-589211-import.mpg" I know it does this when I multi-trim - and is there a way to rename these so I can keep track of what is what?

how I can do a batch plot to PDF whilst appending some element to the end of the filename?
Using AutoCAD 2011's batch plot, or TrueView 2014's batch plot the default PDF filename when plotting to PDF appears to be:
<file_name>-<layout_name>.pdf
Which is okay. But I want to append to that the revision of the layout (C1, C2, etc.) which I currently store in a title block as a block attribute value. Any method for somehow pulling this out and including it after the filename such that I could end up with:
<file_name>-<layout_name>-<revision>.pdf
We're currently trying to transition to using the Sheet Set Manager, is the above any easier to achieve using that?

Using either Universal Document Converter for JPEG, or Adobe Acrobat 9 for PDF, AutoCAD 2011 (suddenly and without warning) started truncating 15~20 character filenames to 3 character filenames when printing.
It used to plot to the complete filename, swapping the JPG or PDF extension for the DWG extension, until last Friday.

for rendering purposes (we work on stop-motion-stop films) in our company's processing workflow, I export many different image sequences with 1000 or more JPG images from many different RAW NEF folders. All these folders with 1000s of RAW NEF files get developed and then exported as JPGs
- into folders on various volumes on servers. so other people then further render from these folders in AE or other hosts.
sometimes however, after a week or month, for whatever reason we need to re-develop original RAW NEFs of a folder of a specific set in it's original lightroom folder (from where those JPGs had been exported from).
By knowing a filename like for example _DSC7561.jpg out of a JPG export folder I then would like to quickly find and locate the original folder within the LR4 library, containing e.g. the file _DSC7561.nef from where that JPG was exported from (for specific reasons I can not change all those export JPG folders are on different volumes than the original folders with RAW file sequences).
So, when I sit in front of LR4 on the RAW development stations is there a way to find
- folders in the lightroom catalogue in volumes or over volumes (by their known folder name or part of their foldername)?
- filenames or part of filenames in folders over volumes, or within a volume?
it is so time consuming to scroll all folders to find an original folder with RAWfiles from where we developed and exported JPGs. we keep those RAW folders not only for the original RAW files of course, but also because of the XMP sidecar files with all the development changes. sometimes we even store snapshots or several stages of XMP processing to them.
Of course LR4 offers search for a filename within a folder via CMD+F, but we don't need that actually.
we need CMD+F for the library search for foldernames or folders over a volume at least, but better would be various volumes.
are there any LR4 plugins or tools that solve this? Or did I oversee something?
I can of course search for any folder containing a file _DSC7561.nef outside of LR4 in finder with tools like "Tembo" or "Find any File" easily, but that don't jumps me to the folder in the LR4 library, with all my developement changes.
PS: we don't use keywords, it is not possible with TB of images each week but we use specific sequencing names for image file sequences and structured folders of course.
