• Lightroom 4.2 Mac preference file missing.

  I use Lightroom 4.2 on a Mac (OS 10.7.4, 14gig of ram). Start about a month or two ago, I noticed that my preferences do not seem to be saving. Recently, I dug into the preferences folder using the menu item GO to the finder (/users/ "me" / Library/Preferences) and to my surprise it was not a Lightroom preference to all file.

  Looks like a re - install is in order, but I don't remember seeing a uninstall program on the original disc. Reflections on how to uninstall it please?

  Dan,

  I guess you probably have trouble with your permissions. Lightroom seems unable to write new values in the prefs file (or write the file preferences at all).

  Ja.

  Important information for all platforms

  • The files and the locations of files given here are default values. Some of these places can be customized in the Lightroom \Preferences or the catalog settings dialog boxes.
  • While troubleshooting, where possible, rename the files instead of remove them.
  • If possible, back up catalogs on another hard drive or a volume of the disk where your catalog is located. For more information about the backup in Lightroom, read back up a catalog with Lightroom and look at the backup catalog on Adobe TV.

• Missing files in Lightroom 5, files appear in 'Missing photos.

  I have total 27 000 photos, and 5500 of them are listed under "Missing photographs." If their records are listed in everything, there is none? to indicate that LR is not records.

  I know how to reconnect missing photos by clicking on the! and asking LR also find nearby photos.  But it does not work with the exception of the single selected photo, no other photos are located even if they are in the same folder on the hard disk.  I can do this for each of the 5500 photos separately, but it will take about 24 hours.  I'm looking for another way.  To be clear, the corresponding files are not listed in LR or are listed without one? and contain only a fraction of the photos in the folder source hard disk.

  I suspect that the reason why 'Find nearby photos' does not work is the catalog think they are in a different folder of the photo of the target.  For example, the figure shows a sequence of three adjacent "Missing pictures" in LR.  DSC08178 photo is actually in the "Viking cruise" folder on the hard disk while it is indicated as being in the 'cruise Baltic.  The pictures on each side of it are correctly displayed as being in the "Viking cruise" folder because I already spotted by clicking on the!, then their location on the hard disk WITH 'FIND the PHOTOS' NEARBY SELECTED.  Funny, these "found photos" still appear as "missing images" even if they now appear in the LR library under the folder "Viking cruise".

  In past discussions in the research, I find a common suggestion when the catalog was confusing to delete the preferences file.  I have not tried because I doubt that it will work.  I keep my photos and catalog on an external HD which I move from desktop to laptop computer, depends on the question of whether I'm at home or on a trip.  Of course, these two machines (both are Macs) is located in the preferences file, but the same problem occurs on each machine. It is difficult to imagine that the two would be has been corrupted at the same time and in the same way.  I think that it is a corruption of the catalog file itself.

  If this is true, I have a possible solution.  If someone has a better idea or think that my fixed does not work, please tell me.  But it's my idea:

  Applications to problems are several years so that the problem is as far as I KNOW recent old.  I have files of backup catalog dating back to a few months.  They have all these old photos changes.  So if I can find one of these catalog uncorrupted files, I will be removed all files EXCEPT the problem files.  Then I ONLY deletes records of problem of the current catalog.  Finally, I combine two catalogs.

  Will this work?  Are there unforeseen problems (by me)?  Is there an another, perhaps better, difficulty?

  Can't you just click right on line 'Missing Photos' under 'Catalogue', and select Remove from this temporary Collection?

  Another simple solution is to simply ignore it.

• missing preferences file

  I have no preference file I can find.  I thought that it was created automatically.  When I looked for it, I got the design premium trial version, but since I bought the full suite I've always.  I looked in the application data directory and did a complete search system and there is no preference file can be found.  How this can be fixed and what kind of problems this causes?

  mg willis,

  Did you do a search, including hidden files and folders for the Adobe Illustrator CS4 Settings folder (I presume it's CS4)?

• Lightroom 6 - will not disable GPU acceleration

  Hello

  I have a problem.

  My GPU acceleration seems to cause problems (from what I've read). I have some random freezes of Lightroom 6.1.1 so I tried to disable the GPU acceleration. This caused Lightroom to crash. So I looked up in the support forums and found that I had random adjustment of the autobahn to false. I did, BUT still when I have done that and restarted Lightroom the checkbox in the preferences was activated again and settings manually changed in the configuration file is set to true again (and starting the ToolTips disabled and stuff has shown once again).

  So, how can I disable GPU acceleration (without this, he turns to himself again)?

  I'm running Windows 8.1 (64-bit), an AMD FX 8350 with an AMD Radeon R9 280 X. The system is stable and that all the drivers/updates are later.

  I hope someone can help me,

  Thank you very much!

  Greetings Philipp

  I have solved my problem, but do not understand why:

  -J' abandoned the development to the web module module and open the settings dialog box. Then, I could uncheck the box. After restarting Lightroom, the box is always disabled.

  Strange bug!

  Greetings!

• Double problem: no printing and no preferences file

  When I go to print from Lightroom 5.7.1, there is no image of the photo in the upper left "navigation" box. The image appears in the middle of the paper as it usually does, but when the print command is given, nothing else blank paper comes out of the printer.

  Thinking that it can be corrected with a re - install, I uninstalled and reinstalled 5.7. When it does work, I upgraded 5.7.1 and installed. Still does not solve the problem.

  So I thought to replace the preferences file might do the trick. But it is not even an Adobe folder in the folder Win 7 C:\users\[user]\roaming. Te only one folder it is the Intel.

  I did a disk clean up without a change in the result. What is happening and what can I try next? I have the stand alone, not the CC version.

  In the print Module, this isn't a "browser" in the top left corner. It simply shows what model you use. The image will not be displayed at this location. Have you been to the page layout that opens to your printer driver and make sure you have set the options of the printer correctly?

• Writing a preferences file

  What I'm trying to do is very simple: I want to save the user's ' preferences' (at the moment, only two values of checkbox - this is it) in 'disc' such that the next time that the user running my app, their preferences are 'remember' by the application, I write.

  import java. IO;
  Net.rim.device.api.io import. *;

  public static final void readPreferences() {}
  int checkFullAuto, checkAutoSelect;
     
  The preferences file still exist?
  try {}
  FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream ("prefs.dat");
  }
  catch (FileNotFoundException e) {}
  The file doesn't exist, then create it with the default values and return.
  try {}
  FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream ("prefs.dat");
  DataOutputStream back = new DataOutputStream (fos);
              
  Based on the default values for the two check boxes, make calls like this:
  dos.writeInt (1);
  dos.writeInt (0);
             
  Finish by writing to the file
  back. Flush();
  back. Close();
  return;
  }
  {} catch (IOException f)
  return;
  }
  }
      
  The file * is * on the phone.  Finishing-opening then read its contents.
  try {}
  DataInputStream tell = new DataInputStream (fis);
         
  Please = dis.readInt ();
  checkTwo = dis.readInt ();
     
  based on the above two values, set the values of the check boxes - code omitted to shorten
  tell. Close();
  return;
  }
  catch (IOException h) {}
  Do nothing and get out this method gracefully if failure.

  return;
  }
  }

  I get the following errors to compile 3...

  symbol: FileInputStream (java.lang.String) constructor
  location: net.rim.device.api.io.FileInputStream of the class
  FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream ("prefs.dat");

  cannot find symbol

  symbol: FileOutputStream (java.lang.String) constructor

  FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream ("prefs.dat");
  cannot find symbol

  symbol: fis variable
  location: Algorithms.Algorithms of the class
  DataInputStream tell = new DataInputStream (fis);

  I use BlackBerry JDE 4.6.0.12.  In the preferences--> Code signing tab, I checked 'RIM API of execution.'

  What I am doing wrong?  If you see a better way to code this, please tell me;  I'd appreciate very much all the advice that you could give me!

  Thank you very much...

  Two things:

  (a) it is scraping the bottom of my memory, but I think that the mechanism that you try to use ("FileConnection") is a former mechanism that has been a specific phone and type and is not generally supported.  I think you really want to use the FileConnection API - see the FileExplorer demo for more details.

  (b) there are other ways to keep the user's preferences, in general, this is done using a persistent storage.  This has the advantage that you can store objects rather than having to serialize the data inbound and outbound bytes.

• My creative cloud LightroomCC my Presets in my pictures files and I want to change the C:\Users\Frann-Serenity\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Develop file.  I think it takes to develop, but not sure. I don't know how the Lightroom folded

  I think that the presets should be installed in the C:\Users\Frann-Serenity\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom and perhaps even deeper in the folder to develop. I'm not sure because I'm a newbie at this. I have no idea how my Lightroom file put in my C:\Users\Frann-Serenity\Pictures.  I have to install Presets but cannot get to work because they land in my pictures folder.  Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

  Hi FrancieLou,

  The presets are stored in images when you have an option enabled in Lightroom preferences.

  So, if you do not want them to be stored in the pictures folder, you must follow the steps below:

  1. go in the Lightroom preferences > Presets tab

  2 uncheck "save stations with this catalog" and click Ok.

  Then, the presets would be stored in default C:\Users\UserName\Appdata\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\.

  Kind regards

• Lose all lightroom preferences

  I have LR 5.7.1.  Every month or two when I l open Lightroom, a screen I have to re - enter my serial number, little as I have to buy an upgrade.  When this happens and LR opens, all my preferences for export, what info appears on the pictures, etc. disappeared.  I guess they gave to the standard ones.  What happens and is it possible to prevent this?  It takes awhile to reset everything.  In the past, I forgot some items, getting to files sent to the printer, saved in low quality, ruining several impressions.

  Can someone please, please help me?  I posted this question before with no responses.

  Thank you

  Bill

  I read your post again, and the question is different from that in the link I provided. If I understand correctly, you can use LR with specific changes to your preferences settings & and they 'stick' for a few months. At some point LR you request your serial number tenant and appear to be recovering its default preferences file.

  The most likely cause of this question connects to Windows after a system Shut Down with a different user account name. I tried with my connection to the guest account in Windows 7 and the first thing I see at the launch of LR is the entry to record screen and serial number Adobe. Make sure you use the same Windows login accountt when working in LR and this issue must stop.
