Is there a plug-in available for InDesign that will batch rename and relink placed images?
In Quark, I used Badia Link Renamer which worked perfectly but it's not available for InDesign. (Was told they hope to have it incorporated into BigPicture for CS5.)
Is there something similar currently available for InDesign?
Essentially I need it to rename and relink files with random names to structured names such as:
001_Cust_000123456789_art_r1.tif
(I love that Bridge does batch renaming but then I have to manually update links in InDesign which is extremely time-consuming. I've also manually renamed/relinked files individually with Adobe Dialogue but it doesn't seem to be part of CS4.)
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Been looking for something for months.
Thanks!

I have a whole bunch of files that I need to rename ( I need to add a prefix on to the front eg. a whole group of files called 'plan.jpg' 01.jpg, 02.jpg, etc. need to now read ORD_plan.jpg, ORD_01.jpg, etc.) I can batch rename the files in adobe bridge, but I have to go in one by one and re-connect the links. Is there a script which can batch rename and relink all the files?
Thanks!This biterscripting script may possibly help. It takes two input arguments.
directory - directory under which the .jpg files are located
prefix - prefix which will be added to each file's name
# Script RenameJpg.txt
var str directory, prefix, list, filepath, name
cd $directory
find -n '*.jpg' > $list
while ($list <> ')
do
lex '1' $list > $filepath ; stex -p '^/^l[' $filepath > $name
set $name = $prefix+$name
system copy (''+$filepath+'') (''+$name+'')
done
This is the way you would use it - copy and paste the script code into file C:/Scripts/RenameJpg.txt, then enter this command into biterscripting.
script 'C:/Scripts/RenameJpg.txt' directory('C:/test') prefix('ORD_')
It will rename C:/test/plan.jpg to C:/test/ORD_plan.jpg, C:/test/01.jpg to C:/test/ORD_01.jpg, etc.
Important: I am using the 'system copy' command so that files are copied instead of renamed. Once you are happy with the test, you can change that command to 'system rename'.
Also, if the .jpg files are within subfolders of C:/test, change the 'find -n' to 'find -r -n'. -r means recursive = search in subfolders. Syntax for the find command at http://www.biterscripting.com/helppages/lf.html

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 couldn't use them.
I work at a company that makes school books. Each InDesign file we make can have hundreds of images, of varied extensions (.ai, .eps, .tif, .psd).
We now need to rename those images to a default naming system we defined. This is taking hours, even days to do manually.
Those images currently have varied names, so we'd need to ignore what's there, we just need a configurable prefix (like 'EF6_ESP_C1_'), then a 4-digit number starting at 0001 and numbering the rest (if there's say a .tif and then a .ai, it'd have to be 0001.tif and 0002.ai), then the extension it already had.
Preferably, but not required, if it could read that the image already had an 'EQ' in the file name, it could rename them to another prefix and count those separately from 0001, as we work Equation images separately, but if this can't be done or is too difficult to do, then just have them named and numbered with the others.
Could anyone be so kind as 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.

ChinnaHi,
It is possible to documents links can be renamed with updated link as suffix '_1 or _2 or _3...: only do with the new simple script.
There are many scripts I have found that rename and relink with prefix. I do not find any script that renames and relink with suffix.
Suppose a file name is 'art.ai' if we use prefix scripts it changes like '1_art.ai' in this case both are not in sequence in list preview of 100 links.
I desperately needed something automatic.
Thanks,
SachinThanks, Rob Day.
There are many scripts available for prefix.
I need to add suffix
Example There are 2 or 3 folders with link.
When package using book or manually second folders all the link moving in first folder message coming for replace,
I skip those file, it may be 1, 30, 40 images.
Again open 2nd document indd and want to rename the linked images with base name + suffix (_1) and relinked,
Than move all these renamed files in the first folder and repeat in third folder with base name + suffix (_2) and relinked.
When all the links are in the same folder first repeating images are looking together with there basename + suffix.
As shown in the screen grab in the post.I recently bought and installed Adobe InDesign CS4. It does not have some fonts I want, e.g., Papyrus Bold. I copied it from the Windows XP Fonts folder into the InDesign Font folder, which, for starters, was empty (even though when I open the InDesign application its inherent fonts are available). I have gone to online Help and tried different things, but I still cannot get Papyrus Bold when I open my file.
Where are the InDesign fonts stored, if not in the InDesign Fonts folder?
How can I make the fonts that are in my Windows XP to be available in InDesign?
Thank you.
AndrewPeter,
Thanks for your quick reply.
I don't see why there should be a problem with the Papyrus font I copied from Windows, since it works just fine in Word.
It is listed in the Windows XP/Fonts folder as Open Type, although in brackets beneath it has 'True Type.'
Note: the Adobe InDesign Fonts folder was empty when I first viewed it (except for my attempted copies of Papyrus and a couple of Lucidas). Where are the inherent InDesign fonts stored, if not there?
Thanks again for your attention.
Andy (ColorsAce)I use Adobe Bridge CC on my macbook pro that is running OS X 10.8.5 When I batch rename files within Bridge it automatically drops the file extension. I am able to add the extension within the naming process but would prefer if it simply defaulted to the existing extension of the files being renamed. On occasion it does do this and then the next time it is gone. What am I doing wrong?
I don't think there is any way in which you can add to the built-in functions…
Unless this is actually provided by one of the Adobe start-up scripts… ( I've not see it when digging about )
You would probably need a scripted solution that can give you drop down menu of the extra options you want.Hello, I have been messing around with Automator trying to get Automator to batch rename my pictures. It seems that Automator is a little limited in renaming the way I would like to.
I would like to rename all of my pictures to have a folder structure (I don't believe Automator can do this part for me) of:
'Pictures/Nikon Transfer 2/Date Taken yyyy - dd- mm/DSC_xxxx'
Currently, after trying one of the programs out, I have altered the filename over several of them to a mess of something like '2012-01-24-DSC_0295.JPG.JPG' where the folder structure I was trying to achieve was put into the filename and the extension was added into the filename.
I have tried several programs (freeware and open source) to achieve this to no avail. I would like to stay away from trail software and paid software. If anyone knows of any Automator tricks or other free, non-trial programs that can do such a thing please let me know! It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much for any feedback!

You probably forgot to include the extension .dng or renamed with an extra dot (.) in the filename. Be surr to have only 1 dot with the three letter extension dng at the end (. dng)

Both cards transferred well and I batch renamed the first 278 pictures. The first thing I noticed was that I could not chnage the folder name from Untitled folder to the new name that I wanted to call it. I tried to do this but nothing happened. I went into the folder on the drobo and batch renamed the first lot of images. There was no problem, everything worked fine. After I copied and pasted the second card ( I can not use photo downloader with file renaming with the firewire 800 card reader - something that I think is ridiculous), I tried to batch rename all the new images following on in file name from the first ones.

Can anyone help us? What is the solution? Ubuntu os iso file free download.function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
We have turned on the arabic keyboard and that didnt help either.
Well, why should it. Unless you are typing Arabic, that won't do anything at all. Copy-and-paste is not typing.
If copy-and-paste does not copy the font along so you get the pinky squares in InDesign, it only means that your default InDesign font does not support those characters. Select your text and then choose another font -- one you are sure of contains Arabic.
If you still get pink squares, it's more likely the text in the PDF is not encoded properly, and in that case no-one can't help you -- but it ought to work directly from Word.I posted this over at the Adobe forum for Bridge, however, I'm going to post it here too because part of me feels like this issue I'm experiencing is tied to a recent Os update: from Leopard to Snow Leopard.
I'm a photo editor for a wedding photographer and have been implementing some of my own personal workflows into his pipeline. I tend NOT to rename camera-generated files, at all, unless there's an important reason to do so. Sorting an entire wedding by 'Date' works perfectly for building the proper timeline for a shoot. So camera-generated file names are perfectly okay for our needs.
When an edit is complete I'll generate JPEGs from Aperture. The resulting files will continue to carry the original RAW files names, unless there is a duplicate file name, then Aperture will add a number: '(1)' to the file, if necessary. Typically, after export, I run an Automator action that stores the file name in the Spotlight Comments. Because prior to shipping and archiving, I AM going to rename the final JPEGs sequentially: 0001_wedding, 0002_wedding, etc.
The beauty was that with the original name stored in the Spotlight comments for the JPEG, I would easily look at 0148_wedding.jpg, see that it's spotlight comments said, 'Original Name: IMG_3471' and obviously know exactly what RAW image this new JPEG started as. Worked perfectly.
So process was: Export, Store Original Name in Spotlight Comments of JPEGs, Batch Rename (sequentially) based on date modified in Bridge CS4.
Well now everthing's changed. We had a system drive go down. We were running 10.5.8. When the system came back from the shop, with a new drive installed, it was/is running Snow Leopard. 10.6.3? I think. Snow Leopard, no doubt.
And now my prior workflow has been wrecked because the act of renaming, in Bridge CS4, erases all those handy Spotlight comments. However, part of me is wondering though if this issue is rooted more deeply, at the OS level? Because R-Name (Batch renaming utility) is now eradicating Spotlight comments as is an Automator action built for the same purposes. This all used to work perfectly. And the one major change that has occurred was this 'upgrade' from Leopard to Snow Leopard.
So, question is: is there something I can alter in Bridge Preferences to maintain my Spotlight Comments, when batch renaming? Is this all tied to the Snow Leopard? Is there ANY renaming utility that's not going to fall victim to whatever the hang up here is?? How can I batch rename and not destroy my lovely Spotlight Comments in the process?
Thanks for your time!! https://baltimore-soft.mystrikingly.com/blog/juice-1-3-14.Yes, this works. However, this was already part of my workflow. and not where the trouble lies.
After exporting jpeg images from Aperture, they carry the same name of the original RAW files, from which they came. (So, IMG_8342.jpg would have started it's life as IMG_8342.CR2.) But we dont' send them out like that. We sequentially name them 0001_image.jpg, 0002_image.jpg, etc. So after renaming, how do you find the original file again, right?
BEFORE the renaming phase, I would run the 'Store Original Names in Spotlight Comments' action. That way, I could look at the comments for a derivative .jpg—whose name has now changed—and determine the name of the ORIGINAL file.
After renaming, the derivative file might end up being named 0361_image.jpg, but it's Spotlight comments would say, for example, Original Name:<>. Then I would know that this particular file started off as IMG_8485.CR2.
As such, I could quickly/easily backtrack, knowing that the original RAW file was named IMG_8485.CR2
The issue is that once you've gone thru the effort to ADD these spotlight comments, if you THEN go through a re-naming step, this erases all those Spotlight Comments. That was my problem. Getting the Spotlight Comments in place was never the issue. KEEPING them there was the problem.
