• I moved the files in Lightroom 5 from one drive to another (created the new folder and dragged).  Now I see warning of metadata.  What has caused this?  Can I import or rewrite the difficulty catalogue?

  I am reorganizing lots of photos in Lightroom 5.  Some who were on my hard drive, I moved to an external drive.  I did all this in Lightroom.  I created a new folder on the hard drive, external, selected all the images in the folder on the hard disk, trained to the new folder.  Made sure they were there.  Then deleted the folder on the hard drive.  When I looked in Windows Explorer, the (empty) folder was still on the hard drive, so I deleted it there too.  Now, I get the warning on the images in the new folder metadata were changed in Lightroom and an external program.  The options are to import from disk or rewrite from the catalog.  I would like to know what caused this and how to fix it.

  Thanks for the clarification of Nancy.

  The warning of "metadata conflicts" is an indication that Lightroom "sees" a discrepancy between the data in its catalog and the data in the image file (or in the xmp file) on the real situation which could be due to permissions at the new location.

  You should choose the option to replace the parameters, that is, rewrite in the Lightroom Catalog can write changes to metadata of the catalog itself.

  (Import of the disc would cancel the metadata changes that you did until now)

I had been using, I unplugged the keyboard started a game and he seemed fine, but I put a new keyboard in there today and the problem has started again.

  Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most of the modules.

  (If you use it, switch to the default theme).

  • Under Windows, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
  • On Mac, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key option key when starting Firefox.
  • Under Linux, you can open Firefox 4.0 + with leaving Firefox then go to your Terminal and running Safe Mode: firefox-safe-mode (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)
  • Or open the Help menu and click on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item while Firefox is running.

  

  Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "

  

  If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. To do this, please follow article Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems .

  To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

• Query a directory and delete all files older than 1 hours

  How do I query a directory and delete all files in this directory that are older than 1 hour?

  I used CFDIRECTORY before displaying the pages in the directory and the directory information, but I can't understand how to query a directory and delete all files older than 1 hour of this directory.

  1 hour of old means that time is NOW over an hour of the date and time of the file on the server.

  You need to the user a combonation of the tag to read files and the to delete the files in conjunction of a tag to decide when and when not to do the removal.  The dateDiff function would be useful in this decision.

  In the pseduo code:

  NOTE: Look closely at the way the dateDiff works with fractional amounts.  That is, 59 minutes and 59 seconds is 0 hours while 1 hour and 1 second is 1 hour with the value of 'h' percision.

  Also note that I didn't look at the syntax for one of these tags, and I probably poorly named and. or misorderd settings.

• What would cause my C: / / drive to be completely changed?

  Greetings:

  I have windows 7 pro 64-bit. Something happened between Saturday night and Sunday, and I'm very worried that this is the result of piracy.

  My question is to try to know what could cause this, and so what are the best measures to prevent anything like this in the future:

  My C drive was completely changed. He was unrecognizable, and inaccessible for me.

  I don't know what in the world happened. I've always had the drive C (which is computer, local disk C, users, etc. and has programs and of course copies of all who are also in the library, which is placed above this player is windows so that created and joking with her.)

  I went to use a software I had downloaded VCL, to convert video in a format that would play in Windows Media Player (done before with no problems) but rather discovered instead of my C drive, there was only one element: an icon I didn't recognize and it was named the "software".

  I have NO IDEA who in the world has happened. It was literally terrifying.

  Luckily I backup my notebook each week using an external hard drive and windows back up. I went back a month and restored, and it worked - put everything back. Then I got time to download windows updates and updates from mcafee etc..

  But at least he's here.

  What brought me to this issue was that WMP does not work: I have used no problem with it. And the VCL software for some reason, which seems to get corrupted every week. I uninstall and reinstall three times so far.

  WHAT could have caused this? The only thing I can think is piracy. Someone did. I surely did not. No ONE lives with me, no one has access to my laptop certainly my cat didn't do.

  I've had in the past screen sharing with my internet provider, but you will need to connect with them. I have Verizon fios. They never did anything but in the few times I had screen sharing they close and that's it.

  I also had a screen sharing with mcafee, a year ago.

  (1) that the recent screen sharing, I had is with the technicians of a company where I bought my security cameras. They had to make adjustments on the camera etc. and show me how to download.

  I never had 'streaming' because I read that it can make the computer more vulnerable. But cameras can stream video and streaming was conducting. I stopped since. I don't need to see and download on video by security cameras and really don't remember same on definition.

  (2) the security cameras are hard wired and go through my router. So, they use my IP address. BUT I have a password to connect to the cameras to examine what has been recorded. Nobody knows & I do not give.

  (3) my laptop mainly use wi - fi, as I sat in my dining room. Nobody knows that I will not let others use or I give it for NO REASON.

  OK, can so anyone who might know its IP address have a way to get into his computer, which is connected to a router?

  Is it possible that someone who completely change a C drive? How? What we have to do?

  Someone at - he heard the VLC (Videolan) and find out if there are any problems with them? It is downloadable for free, works very well - player when it works.

  This would cause software conflicts?

  Has anyone even heard of this happening?

  MORE IMPORTANTLY, what is the best way for me to guard against this?

  I have a firewall that is supplied with the router. I also have windows Defender, I have mcafee (thought I don't know so how efficient they are).

  I know it's long and I could have been more convincing, but I wanted give details, for example, you know that no one shares my laptop.

  Finally, if you set your software to enable streaming of anything, music, video... you are less security from your computer? I'm NOT allowed at all because of what I read in the info from windows and I honestly do not remember how he got the value streaming.

  The week before this happened, I had a few strange things happen like my firefox browser stuck, I saw a device called "window phone listed under devices when I do not use a windows phone and the tab where you can transfer a file for example documents to pictures, I saw"the transfer by bluetooth"when not to use any bluetooth."

  I don't know if they are related

  Can anyone recommend a GREAT firewall and supported? I read about the Comodo, but it's free, and as such, I don't think that it is supported. I don't want to stop all traffic in and out.

  Thank you very much

  Gina

  I am sure that VLC it did not.  Fortunately you have been forward-thinking enough to have a back up.  Don't not piracy or the other.  If I had to guess, I strongly suspect McAfee.  He is known to be problematic

  I can recommend a malicious software solution that incorporates a good firewall so called ESET smart security.  This is the test of the balls, easy to use and you can almost forget about it
