Thread: iPhoto Filenames?

05-04-2006, 12:50 AM #1iPhoto Filenames?
Is there any way to rename my iPhoto files to their titles? I have all of the titles sorted out now, but the filenames are still IMG-4984 etc, and this is a real pain when I email them to people. I like to have filenames that reflect the content.. my customers appreciate it.

There is a script to do this with iTunes tracks, I'd imagine you might be able to modify it to do the same for iPhoto, provided you know a bit of applescript...

Perhaps this will help?

Thats annoying, i thought changing the title changed the filename...
Seems i'll have to re-think my organisation..

Is it really so difficult for iPhoto to change the filename along with the title? I mean, come on."say, can you hear that? it's the sound of the void."

Actually, there IS an option to change the filename:
If you hit export, just select the "Name: use title" option, to change the filename to whatever you've set as the title.
