To revert to the original preserved filename in Adobe Bridge, you can once again use the Batch Rename command found on the Tools menu after selecting the images you want to rename. In Adobe Bridge you need to turn on the “Preserve current filename in XMP Metadata” checkbox in the Batch Rename dialog in order to actually save the original filename so it can be used later. Lightroom preserves the original file automatically whenever you use the Rename Photos command available from the Library menu in the Library module. More Detail: When you rename photos in Adobe Bridge or Lightroom, you can preserve the original filename so that you can later revert to that original filename if you’d like. In Lightroom you can use a template for file renaming that employs the “Original Filename” option.
In Adobe Bridge you can use the “Preserved Filename” option in the Batch Rename dialog (as long as the original filename was preserved). Tim’s Quick Answer: Yes, you can rename photos back to the original filename in both Adobe Bridge and Lightroom. Is there any way to then use that information to rename a photo back to the original filename? Today’s Question: A while back you talked about preserving the original filename in metadata when you rename photos. Note that the "Remove Symbols" option removes the following symbols (some of which are not valid in filenames anyway): You can use the Reset button to reset all your renaming criteria back to the default values (or the smaller R buttons to just reset one group). To preserve your renaming criteria for the next time you use the utility, look at the Favourites facility. This allows you to refine your criteria before actually renaming the files. Remember - you can always preview the new name in the column on the far right. If there are any problems with the rename operation then you will be given the option to roll back (undo) the operation. You can select multiple files by holding down the SHIFT or CTRL keys. The selected files will be renamed according to your selection criteria. If you are not using the Regular Expression facility then both the Regular Expression Match and Replace fields must be left blank. Or you can use a custom format.ġ0) Add the containing folder name as a prefix or a suffix, with a user-defined separatorġ2) Make any changes to the case of the file extension, or change the extension.įull details about the various fields can be found here. "Sep" is the text to insert between the filename and the date "Seg" is the separator between the day, month, year, hour, minute and second segments. before any file extensionĩ) Apply any "auto-date" text as a prefix or suffix.
Suffixes are added at the end of the filename, i.e. The specific operations are as follows:ġ) Apply any fixed name-changes from an imported text file.Ģ) Apply any Regular Expression reformattingģ) Remove any file name, or use a fixed name,Ħ) Remove n digits from the start, middle or end of the filename, and optionally remove certain characters, and/or all characters, and/or all digits and/or all symbols and/or all high-ascii characters.ħ) Move any text from the start, middle or end of the filename to the start, middle or end of the filenameĨ) Add any prefixes or suffixes, or apply text to the middle of the filename. So for example, a text replace will be performed before a change of case. The criteria are processed from left to right, according to the number listed against each section.
If you don't rename a folder (just files), or if you rename anything whilst not using the recursive option, then no refresh is necessary.
This is to prevent problems whereby the file-list becomes out of synchronisation with the files on your hard drive. Please note that, if you rename a folder whilst using the recursive (subfolders) option, after the rename is complete the file list will be refreshed automatically. The files will always be processed in the displayed sequence - useful when you're using the Numbering facility. Hint: You can sort the file list using the column headers, as you would do in Explorer. Press Ctrl-U to jump to the parent folder (e.g.
