Adding files in a catalogue where the catalog suspect duplicates?
Hello
I searched for the answer to this but I just have to be bad thinking.
Last year, I had a hard drive crash and I was restore some of my photos from backup. In one case, I have a folder in my structure of the catalogue showing a sub-folder. However, if I look at the hard drive, there are several folders.
Essentially:
Catalogue:
2008
2008-04-25
Hard drive:
2008
2008-01-25
2008-01-31
etc.
I would have thought 'easy import', right? Well, the problem is that my catalog shows all the duplicate and existing photos in the catalogue then if I try to import with "don't import suspected duplicates", then I end up with two of each file.
What is the appropriate way to restore files in the catalog? Or I just thought the answer to my own question, and I have to import and 'Add' instead of moving or copying?
Thank you!
Use a filename from the "problem files" and find it in Lightroom using the text filter, then select file name.
Also post a screenshot of your library like that...

Adding file names when using "combine the files supported in acrobat.
Adding names of files when using "combine the files supported in acrobat.
Is this possible?
Either as a note at the bottom of each page or a note on the print?
Without having to write or copy and paste the names of files in the PDF by hand?
As in "automatically"?
What it is for:
I do guides step by step for some software for computer magazine.
I am taking screenshots of the software and they are sent to the art director as a bunch of .tif files to be used for layouts.
I need to be able to show him where to put the numbers (1,2,3 etc) for steps-by-step and where he can cut the screenshots.
I am therefore files .tif Guide to the artistic director. Using Acrobat 9 Pro I can easily combine all the .tif files into a PDF with the extension of the shell "Combine" supported files in acrobat.
And using the comment & markup tools, I can easily ad numbering, arrows, important areas and so on.
However, these guides often include a lot of screenshots, so it is important for the Artistic Director to be able to quickly identify each screenshot. And for that he needs the name of the original .tif file to follow the screenshot in the pdf. So that when printed out the pdf and made his page layouts, there no browse and compare a pile of screenshots without a name.
When you combine files in Acrobat format (in flat PDF rather than a portfolio), you will get bookmarks for each document referencing the original file name. If they are not displayed, click the button in the dialog box Options combine to turn them back on.
Since you're combining a series of pictures, you'll find yourself with a bookmark for each page - so the value seen initial of your PDF "bookmarks and page Panel" to file on the file > box properties dialog and you have close to what you want. Write the names of files in the footers is possible but requires script to extract the bookmark names and page numbers, then write a watermark on each page.

How to create the file on a location where the user with rights?
Hello
I have a requirement in my application a lot of program thatcreating a report to a file and it is written in a user's location. Now he specified directly as (c:\ or d:\...).

Essentially in Windows system % UserProfile % having right to do anyting. Assume that the operating system that is installed in C: the % UserProfile % c:\documents and Settings\nom_utilisateur or D: then D:\Document and user Settings\nom.
How do I get this help please me.
Good help will be appreciated.
IqbalHello
The best practice would be to create the file in My Documents for the user currently logged in windows.Unfortunately, you did not mention your version of forms. In an older version like 6.x it is function in the library of d2kwutil called Read_Registry in the win_api_environment section, and in the more recent versions the same availble function in the library webutil to client_ name.
So, you can read the registry database for the current logged in user using the function mentioned above of the location next to the register.
My Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell foldersThere is an entry named personal. Read the path of this entry when running while generating / record file to the customer's location and save the file in this path.

I have a large music library, but unfortunately contains many duplicates that I move slowly deleting. 12.4 installed and the option has disappeared from the view tab.
No idea where it is, or has it been removed?
It has been moved to the file > library menu.
iTunes can create duplicates if the same content is added several times from outside the media folder when it is about to make copies of everything that is added to the library, or is added from an external drive that hosts the press kit that was disconnected during the launch of iTunes.
Official notice of Apple on the duplicates is here: find and remove duplicates in your iTunes library. This is a manual process and article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as the lost coast and membership of playlist, or sometimes the same file can be represented by multiple entries in the library as well as a removal and recycling the file will break all the others.
Use display > show duplicate items (pre iTunes 12.4) or file > library > show duplicate items (post 12.4) then click on Same Album to display exact duplicates because it is normally a selection more useful. You must manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sort the list by Date added can make easier select appropriate tracks, but it works better when executed immediately after the dupes were created. If you have several entries in iTunes connected to a same file on the disk hard then don't not send to trash.
Use my DeDuper script (Windows only) If you are not sure, do not want to do it by hand, or want to maintain ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this background thread , this post for detailed instructions and Please take note of the warning to back up your library before deduping.
(If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to temporarily view or CTRL + B to keep displayed.)
The latest version of the script can put away the dead links as long as there is at least a double live to merge his stats and membership of the playlist and must deal wisely when the same file has been added through multiple paths.

Adding photos in folders already in the catalog
If I've already imported a folder of photos from my hard drive in Lr,
and then I add or remove photos in this folder on my hard drive.
These changes will be reflected in the Lr catalog?
Do I need to perform a procedure of Lr to update changes in
make folders from the hard drive already in the catalogue, or no Lr
This automatically?
Lightroom is not a file Explorer. He doesn't know what photos have been added to a folder. You need to tell Lightroom to each import new photos, or synchronize the file. Of the two, I recommend you import (does not synchronize) because will synchronize also remove photos from Lightroom if they do not appear in this folder (and so you lose your changes and metadata provided by the user) and for many people, this is an undesirable side effect of synchronize.
However, I don't really like the idea of adding pictures into existing folders; for me it's easier and makes more sense to create a new folder for each new batch of imports (so to avoid problems with synchronization and minimizing human error) and then use Lightroom tools such as keywords and other metadata to organize and find.

Can I access a file on a server where the path is password protected?
I have a file stored on a computer in a remote location. This file must be consulted in several test computers to update the results of the tests. I need to access the file to collect the results. Currently I have to connect to the remote computer via the file manager and say file manager to save the password so that LabVIEW will be able to access the test result file. Is it possible that LabVIEW can do this? I don't want the test computers to stay connected to the remote computer, as someone can possibly accidentally damage the file.
Thank you.
This question has come up before. Have you tried a search? You can use the "net use" command through Exec System to set up the network share, and then you can disconnect. Do a search on 'net use', or simply type 'net help use' at the command prompt.

Do you have an error message? Which version of elements?
85 000 files require little time for import.
The thumbnails are not created immediately. This implies to open each file to create the thumbnail and save it. For raw files, embedded thumbnails are not displayed, the thumbnails in the Organizer have reflect the changes as raw. It should take several hours.

The version of DB is 11.1.0.7.
The 'CATALOGUE START WITH' not only added the backup set that are not in the RMAN catalog, but also added a second copy of files that are already in the catalog.
The files are not a second copy; they are the same file in the same directory.Having two copies of the catalogue, by mistake when you explicitly delete the backups.
We must add the force clause to avoid the error.
RMAN > delete backup FORCE tag "off site-1';The clause of power ignores any IO error.
The removal is part of our regular off-site backup script, which returns a false positive error when the clause is omitted.
I don't want the clause, in order to be informed if the backup set that are supposed to be on the disk is not here, for example, if someone had removed the files manually at the level of the BONE without using rman.Is there a way to backup the catalog only not listed in the catalog?
or maybe delete the copy entry #2 of the catalog?Find below an example test scenario:
RMAN > list backup tag summary "off SITE-1';

Here you can see the database says 'Unknown files to the Database list' and then asks to added above files. These files are of no use to the RMAN. So I went no.. But the backup in the directory file is cataloged twice already, but watch copy 1 when asked of RMAN. Probably, it might be a bug and it is advised to increase SR with oracle to resolve the problem.
Thank you!!

Where the thumbs of the catalog is stored on your hard drive?
I encrypt my complete external hardrive and photos with truecrypt. When I remove my drive encrypted, you cannot not access files (obviously), and none should be accessible. But photoshop contains again all my photos (although they indicate missing once I have enlarge them.) It would be logical to me if items created inches to accelerate programs. But the strange thing is, my entire hard drive search reveals nothing!
I assure you I'm NOT looking for original photos, as my external is not yet connected.
I'm completely intrigued.

Yes. PSE sets cache thumbnails to load images faster, but they are not real pictures. As you already mentioned, if you double-click the images, it will say that the image is missing.
Here's the location of the catalog file:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Elements Organizer\Catalogs\
I don't think that the issue was always where the catalog file. The question is where the cache.

Hello
Let's say that I am not connected to my lightroom files and just navigate using the catalog offline.
Now imagine I reject and delete a photo, lightroom deletes the actual photo in the folder of the next time my photos liebrary is online? (or will it just remove Intelligent forecasting and thumbnail library and keeps the file source intact without my knowledge of its existence?)
Thank you
K
Thank you for your patience and to specify your query.
As you say, you have created Smart Preview and unplugged the external hard drive.
Now, if you apply the filter to the rejected images and try to delete the images, you will get the dialog box below.
As you can see, it is said that it will remove the file only from the Lightroom Catalog.
As it is impossible to find the source location, you will not be provided with an option to remove the images from the computer or external hard drive (in your case).
The files will remain as it is on your external hard drive.
If you want to remove the both original files, I you suggest to connect the hard drive and then choose Remove disk to remove the catalog, as well as an external hard drive.
I hope this helps.
