How to get filename of image used as image fill in table cell

iworkkeynote

I'm designing a large photo-based book for a client and he came up with the idea to select the images to include and their sequencing by placing them roughly into a Keynote file. This sounded like a great idea in theory, but it appears that he placed the images as fills inside table cells and now I have no idea how to get their filenames.

The filename is the most important piece of information for me because I have a hard drive filled with 25,000+ images so I can't just search for the right one.

Is there any way to get the filename of an image fill inside a table cell? I know how to do this with a placed image (Image > File Info) but when I click on an image in a table cell all I get is this:

Table cell image

I really hope I don't have to go back to the client to ask him to do this all over—he's not very tech savvy and he's already put a lot of work into this one file.

I am using Keynote 6.2.2 on OSX 10.9.4.

Best Answer

Yes, you can find the information you need.

  • Save the Keynote file.
  • Locate the file in Finder
  • ⌥+Click or Right Click on the file
  • In the Dropdown, select Show Package Contents
  • There you should see a folder Data containing all the resources including images used in the file.

Keynote files are really packages of files that the application uses to build the presentation.
