Attempt to import the subfolder

I'm a newbie LR so forgive what should be something simple.

I have approximately 390 pictures in a subfolder on my desktop I want to import into LR. There are more than 3000 pictures in the top-level folder.  When I tried to import only in the subfolder, LR asked if I wanted to include the subfolder so I said YES.  LR then started showing ALL the photos in the top-level folder!

I'm sure it must be possible to import only from a subfolder but how is what is done?


Thank you very much

Richard

In the dialog box import, on the left side, click the folder you want. For example, clicking on the phone mobile Photos\2013-08-31 should only import the photos in this folder under one.

  • Import file is not a projection in the subfolder appropriate

    I've been a LR user since the first version and I always imported my files in different subfolders of each shoot.  In the past, they have always shown their correct subfolder when I'm in the library module and looking at the display of folders on the left side.

    On imports of the latter, LR has begun to show my subfolders as being in the root directory.  If I hover over the subfolder and right-click and choose the location of the update folder, the subfolder will be moved to its proper location.  I import my files on a SD card inserted in the player built into my MB Pro.  The parameters are the copy to hard drive and I checked in the subfolder and by Date.

    Is this a bug or have I changed it inadvertently, one of my settings?  TIA, Dave

    Thanks for your comment but I've always been able to see my complete file structure in the files view.  Also, I'm just right my catalog and LR now works correctly, i.e. new imports enter their newly created subfolder, and detailed file structure is displayed in the folder view.

  • How to resolve the error: "lightroom could not import this catalog due to an unknown error" during an attempt of "import catalog?

    I have about 400 000 pictures of so given the high number of 15 years, I had all my photos in 6 catalogues to avoid potential problems. All photos and catalogs are in a 4 TB Seagate external hard drive. I use Adobe Lightroom 5 and I use a PC with the latest Windows Office 2013.

    I wanted to have a NEW catalogue of all my rated 1 star + photos of all years in a single catalog. So I created this I called Catalog + Star and told me the best option is to import a catalog at a time, and because there is no way to filter import them just photos now, I would like to import all the photos and then delete all the photos of UnStared. I did for the catalog of the year 2014, but in the end gave me the message: "lightroom could not import this catalog because of an unknown error. He had in fact imported about 40 k pictures of about 50 k total. I tried again and again and each time I end up with the same thing. I created a new another catalog and looked from scratch and the same ting happened: EXACT 40 k photos or JUST have been imported and others were not! When I imported catalog year 2013 of about 45 photos of k, it worked perfectly. But when I imported catalog year 2012 35 k photos, it's the same thing!

    All the tips: 1) on how to solve this problem? and (2) if there is a way better and easier to create this main catalog of all looked at them Photos of all my catalogs?

    Okay, my starting point is that LR can contain fortunately 400000 + photos, and it's a mistake to create a 1 star and catalogue as you suggest. Instead, I would recommend that you create a master catalog of all your photos, you can then question however you want - 2 stars, or a certain keyword, or with "xyz" in the title, etc.

    If you are intent on going this way, you could try a slight change in what you have done so far. Instead of trying to import a complete catalogue and then delete photos of TSE, take the 2012 and 2014 catalogs and select only the photos 1 star. Then to Export in the catalog for these items and import the 2014-1star and 2012-1star in your new catalog. Can pass the problem images that I think are the problem.

    If this does not work, or if you follow my initial advice, you're going to need identify the image where the failure occurs. You may have a corrupted image file, and replacement of your backup can be enough to solve the problem. Alternatively, it may be a corrupted in the catalog folder, and in this case, it may be sufficient to remove the image from the catalog and import it again. You can try to select everything in the catalog of 2014 and see if you can do an export as catalog, creating a 2014 clean and delete file previews of 2014 could also get rid of a potential problem. Another thing is to try exporting in the catalog for images 1-40000, then a second export as catalog images 40002 - 50 k.

    So a few things that you need to try, rather than a magic bullet and a recommendation to change the underlying meaning.

  • Import bookmarks into FF32 does not work. I tried swapping places that previously worked, I tried to import the bookmarks menu.

    It is a windows computer 8 that was RELEASED yesterday that I'm trying to set up again.

    I have copies of the bookmarks on a different drive (and in fact on another computer in windows 8 FF27)-I can not move the bookmarks on the computer reset.

    I did not attempt to move the entire profile yet just place and also tried to export/import bookmarks.

    I just reinstalled FF32 and have the same problem. Yesterday, I managed to move 'places' on the windows computer with FF27 8.

    somehow it works now - it wasn't a few minutes ago but I have bookmarks now and you can add them

    I tried many suggestions - "you can try to delete the prefs.js file and the compatibility.ini file to force Firefox to reset profile." - tried but alone is not enough

    I also installed Java during this process - it was probably necessary and could be automatic to a techno but I am a mathematician not a computer person. I know that I had installed java in the last days, but it is not visible in a search for the word java so I downloaded again.

    I took favorite save file places.sqlite and bookmarks off labour win 8 machine and tried to move them in the right spots in the files - did not work at first

    I found out the date on the work machine win 8 was a day and so when I open a backup bookmark that was old enough with all the other changes, I did finally worked.

    I see now where the star bookmarking moved - I liked the star in the address bar. I normally just use the history. I also don't like the tabs on the top and the other toolbars hidden and change some people during the installation. I'll change those two win 8 for my taste this week, but all of these changes were not urgent.

    I gave up control of that reset the PC to its 'owner' until the next disaster. I know that I have a program left to install (not an emergency I was told) and a handful of files to straighten again, but this last thing is status quo around here.

    Thank you for all the ideas.

    There are also some system # 4 - Windows 7 with FF31 which is my main computer - System #2 exists, as it was purchased for me but I've not used. I hate Windows 8 and hate the idea of moving all my files on it. But there are enough problems on this CPU as if I gave it away as a hand me down, I spent too much time trying to fix it for my spouse so they got a PC brand new instead of replace XP. When I gave them the XP that they had 'clean' with a fresh install of XP on one just cleaned HD.

  • Cant' import images of Photos because "it is not enough free space on the volume of your library to import the selected items.

    Hey guys,.

    So I tried to import some ~ 8 GB of photos on my mac, but the Photos app gives me the following message: "there isn't enough free space on the volume of your library to import the selected items. It is estimated that you need at least X.XX GB of additional free space. »

    Where X.XX represents the amount of GB it says that I need but it changes everytime that I reopen the application to attempt an import.

    My mac has currently 44.4 GB so I don't know why this issue is coming.

    Any help would be great!

    Thanks in advance,

  • How to automatically import the modified photos in a nested folder changing?

    I have a master catalog for all my tens of thousands of photos. This catalog includes hundreds of organized digitally records. Each of them contains the RAW images from a memory card.

    I create a new, numbered folder for each download of pictures cards RAW memory of my cameras and then I use Lightroom to transfer the photos from my card reader. In this way, all new folders and their RAW photos appear in the Lightroom Catalog.

    Later, I edit some of these photos and place JPEG files edited in a subfolder under the folder source of the RAW image.

    The problem is that the nested subfolders and their modified photos not as displayed in the Lightroom library. To do this, I need to import their subfolder and then these photos into Lightroom. Sometimes, I forget. When this happens, the subfolder does not in the library. This is something serious because I have hundreds of these subfolders. If they do not automatically appear in the Lightroom library, I don't know what they and their altered photos exist.

    Is there a way to get the CC of Lightroom to automatically import these nested subfolders and photos modified breast? Do not forget that I have create a new source for each RAW/Lightroom Import download folder, and then a file edited JPEG folder nested under each of these RAW images, imported files.

    Thank you.

    First of all, allow me to answer your question, and then I would try to convince you not to do at all... I encourage you to read through my reasoning to avoid this type of workflow unless you really need a reason any.

    To import images:

    -You can import files in several ways - one is by dragging the files themselves to Lightroom icon in the task bar, which opens the import with the selected folders screen. Then, change the import type 'Add', what matters at the current location.

    -You can also click on "Import" and navigate through folders.

    -You could also (when you export JPGs) choose the option to import images into Lightroom.

    Why do it at all? When you edit your images in Lightroom, you already have the edited photo. Why would you want to export a jpg (probably an inferior copy) with all of the editing done in? Better to export the images jpg when you need to send somewhere (at a printing service, at a web site, in an e-mail message) and rely on the original image edited in Lightroom.

    In Lightroom, you can even use virtual copies to create multiple versions of your original image (with different treatments, sizes of harvest, etc.) all based on the unique original image. There is really no need to export copies and bring them back in Lightroom (with the exception of very few cases where the copy is required as part of a specific workflow). You can export a jpg from Lightroom anytime that you need based on the original.

    If you import jpg images, you will have two of everything, besides wasting disk space, it clutters things and makes finding and the heavier edition future.

  • maintain the folder hierarchy when you import the HD?

    On my HD, I have a folder called 1-50 top-level, then under folders 1-10, 11-20, 21-30, 31-40, and 41-50.  In a subfolder, 1-10, are sub-sous-records; 1-trip, 2-aunt Sally, 3 - Bob marriage, etc. that actually contains the pictures. Is it possible to import the folder named 1-50 and hold this whole structure?  If this isn't the case, how best to rebuild in Lightroom so that he can find good sources on the hard drive?

    You choose to add (as opposed to the copy or move) on the menu at the top of the import window.

    Which leaves the files in place on your disk.

  • CC of Lightroom does not import the photos and displays an error, backup also fails

    Hello

    I use Lightroom CC on Mac and I try to import images, but Lightroom is unable to do it this time for some reason any.

    During the last import Lightroom does not have the download of pictures and showed me the following notification: "Lightroom has encountered an error when reading the preview cache and needs to stop smoking. Lightroom will attempt to solve this problem, the next time it starts.

    As it stops it suggests to the backup catalog files and the following notification appears: "Lightroom could not save the catalog named XXX.". Check your folder permissions, and then make sure you have space on your rear disc and disc from the main catalogue.

    I have 2 TB of disk space available.

    I tried to import the camera and my computer, however it is unable to complete the import in two ways, just that several files have been imported and import fails. In each attempt to import files Lightroom creates temporary files with multidigital names.


    I restarted Lightroom, then my computer, then attempted to create another backup folder, nothing happens. Please help me.

    Thank you.

  • Isolate the Images in the Parent folder, but not in the subfolder

    Sometimes I have imported images in LR, or moved suburbs autour and seem to have some of the images in the parent folder, but not the subfolder. Is there a way to isolate the photos not associated with related a subfolder (but in the parent), so I can move to the appropriate subfolder. I know that I can right click on the picture and find Exployer, but it does not find that are not associated with a sub. I have a relatively complicated system of organization subfolder, with 10 k + photos. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Phil

    Sorry, I should have said that you must uncheck it. Then you get a style Explorer display more.

  • Is it possible to import the names of face, as well as images, Photos in iPhoto?

    Is it possible to import the names of face, as well as images, Photos in iPhoto?

    When you migrate to Photos iPhoto library, all the faces will be kept and circles of faces will appear correctly on the photos.  But you can not merge a second Library iPhoto in a library of Photos existing and preserve the faces.

  • "Not responding" message at the beginning upward. SOLVED by the creation of a new identity & import the messages from the old to the new.

    This only happens on one of my identities, the rest seems to agree...

    When I start this identity, it's really slow & as soon as I click on anything it says "not responding".

    After some time (about 10 min.), he will finally do something but, after a few clicks he strikes again.

    Hi greyfox73plus, the error page usually shows a code in parentheses (separated_with_underscore_characters). Sometimes, you need to develop a technical Details section to find the code. Could you put one you get?

    Here is an example:

    The most common reason for many sites (sec_error_bad_signature) seems to be the shield of Web of Avast. Web Shield intercepts your navigation and filter, but to filter sites secure, it has "fake" certificates for Firefox.

    To test this theory, try disabling scanning of encrypted sites. I saw these steps in another post:

    1. Open the Avast dashboard on an affected system.
    2. Select settings in the left side menu.
    3. Adopt a Protection Active.
    4. Click on customize next to the Web Shield.
    5. Uncheck the option "Enable HTTPS analysis", and then click ok

    If that solves the problem, but you want to filter encrypted communication, you need to import the Avast! signature in Firefox Certificate Manager of certificates, References tab.
