CS5 Photoshop
Save for Web
Changing settings doesn't seem to allow the original file name upon "save"
I've tried setting all the settings so that Unix and OS9 are unchecked, but it keeps wanting to shorted the file name. Anyone know what I can do?

Changing the file naming specifics in output settings dialog box should allow you to use your original names. Changing Trigger Name to None resolved the issue for me.

This is weird. This problem only happens with one set of cr2 files. All my other shoots in different folders get named as they should. Any ideas why this one batch won't get named properly?

Any unusual characters being used in the file names or directory path?

None. All of my directories follow this pattern:
Year_date.day_Model Name (or loocation)
E.g., 2010_05.30_LittleAlice

What if you duplicate them into another folder and then try? Just wondering if something is corrupted somehow, because I can't think of any reason why it shouldn't work

I know it's weird. I even deleted the catalog and recreated it. I'll try another folder.

Getting the same problem again now for all folders.
If I "Save As" and then choose jpg it saves with the original file name. it's just the Save for Web that isn't doing what it should.

Found the problem. MFer. Why did Adobe do this? What a pain in the ass.
Filename:
2010_07.25_Name.psd will truncate to 2010_07.psd
2010_07_25_Name.psd will save the entire name.
For some reason, CS5 won't allow a "dot" in the file name. Wonderful.

It's perfectly sensible. It's not a wonderful idea to put dots in file names. If it's not CS5 that reacts unpredictably, it'll be some other program that handles the picture.

It's not perfectly sensible at all. We should have the control to either use or not use dots when naming a file. CS4 and below never did this.

Sorry, just telling it to you straight. Use dots, or other grammatical characters, and sooner or later you'll hit problems.

I won't. I understand application layers and server constraints, PHP tags etc. That's why I said it's better to notify people and let them make their own choices. Not trying to be an asshat, but I've never ran into a problem naming files in the 17 years I've been developing and sending images to servers.

I've encountered such problems many, many times so always advise against non-alphanumerical characters in file names. By coincidence, it was recently with a dot where a web page displayed file names without the jpg extension. While the script writer has been a touch lazy by searching for the character from the start of the file name, rather than using an equivalent reverse search function, I wouldn't argue with his assumption.

My preference is to have control over my developing, or at the very least be told in a warning box what will happen.

Even when you're best off not doing it.... Oh well.
