old FileName in Lightroom and Espression Media

[hauli]

Hi all,
I want to store the old (orginal) filenames and afterwards rename the images. Thats should not be a big problem.
The problem is, that I want to see the old filenames in Lightroom AND Espression media. The tag name is not really important (it can be software, copyright, artist, or - if it possible - oldfilename).
If I have a solution for Lightroom in Expression Media nothing to see or vice versa.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Regards,
Rudolf

You can check this thread to see some mapping between what Lightroom 4.4 calls tags and what tags it actually writes to.  You may have to do your own research on Espression media unless you can point me to a trial and I'll try and figure out what tags it reads.

The  IPTC Standards "IPTC Core" Schema for XMP pdf (see excerpt below) suggests saving it to title, (XMP:Title and/or IPTC:ObjectName).  XMP:PreservedFileName has also been suggested on this forum but my LR ver 4.4 doesn't show that tag.

"Title
This field can be used as a shorthand reference for the image or "photograph" — primarily for identification. The title of an image may take several forms; for photographers this might be the filename of their original scan or digital camera file"

I would use the Adobe Bridge preserved filename tag, however StarGeek mentioned that Lr does not read this tag, no real surprise that Adobe Bridge and Adobe Lightroom do not play nice together in all cases, sigh... And this is not even taking Expression Media into account. Anyway, for those looking for this info:

----------

Add/Copy filename to Adobe Preserve Original Filename (excluding file extension) metadata entry:

exiftool -overwrite_original_in_place '-XMP-xmpMM:PreservedFileName<${filename;s/\.[^.]*$//}' -r 'FILE NAME or DIR NAME'

----------

Add/Copy filename to Adobe Preserve Original Filename (including file extension) metadata entry:

exiftool -overwrite_original_in_place '-XMP-xmpMM:PreservedFileName<${filename}' -r 'FILE NAME or DIR NAME'

----------

Rename files using their preserved filename metadata entry:

exiftool '-FileName<XMP-xmpMM:PreservedFileName' -r 'FILE NAME or DIR NAME'

My Lightroom copy is older, so it's quite possible that newer versions show it.
