Copper Star Media Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 UPDATE: I figured out how to do multiple file names. Only problem is they have to be done individually which is quite time consuming. I need to know if there is a way to import a list of file names that would allow it to be more automated. I did search to see if I could find the answer to this. It might not be possible but I'm hoping it is. I have both photo and designer but I'm more familiar with photo. I need to export the SAME image into multiple file names. They all need to be the same format (.jpg). For example...photo1.jpg, photo2.jpg. I have the file names set up so that I can copy/paste them or even import them if there is a way to do that so that when the batch processes it would automatically assign the new file name.

v_kyr Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Well it's laborious possible in both via the Export Persona and using slices for a JPG file there then as "1x Slicename1", "1x Slicename2", "1x Slicename3" ... But honestly since that's always one and the same file/image with a different file naming and thus a boring task, I would let the operating system do this tedious/repeatedly work from a batch/shell script as a copy file operation in a given loop iteration count, where the loop count is added to the file name. - So something like ... Quote // Powershell for ($i=1; $i -le 10; $i++) { Copy-Item "\\tmp\photo.jpg" -Destination "\\tmp\photo$i.jpg" } On a Mac a shell script will do the same (a loop for 10 file copies here) ... Quote #!/bin/bash for i in `seq 1 10`; do echo $i cp -v "photo.jpg" "photo$i.jpg" done ... or instead via a while loop count ... Quote #!/bin/bash COUNTER=0 while [ $COUNTER -lt 10 ]; do echo The counter is $COUNTER let COUNTER=COUNTER+1 cp -v "photo.jpg" "photo$COUNTER.jpg" done Copper Star Media 1 Quote ☛ Affinity Designer 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Photo 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Publisher 1.10.8 ◆ OSX El Capitan ☛ Affinity V2.3 apps ◆ MacOS Sonoma 14.2 ◆ iPad OS 17.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
