Can I change the location of the library of Lightroom and default data files?

Marc MandelbaumCommunity Member

Hello

I am running Lightroom 5 on a macbook pro 17 "equipped for one SSD 240 GB and a hard drive internal 1 TB extra.  I have lots of software installed, including a large part of the following relevant Adobe and when all is said and done, I don't have much room for manoeuvre.

I just imported less than 20% of my photos, about 90 GB, in Lightroom, and the "Lightroom 5 catalog Previews.lrdata" file is about 1/10th of that to 9 GB.  That doesn't seem like much in the overall scheme of things, I know, but which leaves my hard disk space available to a mere 14 GB, which is not good at all.

My question is this: I looked hard and can't seem to find a way of change my Lightroom catalog files default location?  I would like to change this over the other internal disk where I have a lot of space.  I understand that I am able to move the library once it is compiled, but simply, I don't have enough space to import my library on the main (240 GB SSD) drive to then move it.

Thank you for your help.

Lightroom will create these files the first time, it opens. And he put them in the default location. Let Lightroom it's thing. Then, before doing all the work at all in Lightroom, close Lightroom and move the folder that contains all the files whenever you want. Double-click the catalog (.lrcat) to start Lightroom. The default preference for the catalog is to open one last used. So now, the catalog in this new location will be one that will open.

  • How can I change the size of text and background color?

    How can I change the size of text and background color? When I select the text box and change the height, nothing happens. If I drag the box is smaller, it just jumps back to where she was. If I try to change the color, (which is set to 'default' gray), no color, it still shows as white on preview. Because I can not change the size of text box, I need to at least make the clear background because it's something that overlap.

    Answered my own question kind of... I had to go into the 'code' and change the settings manually. Why even have the options in 'view designer' to change the size of text box or color if it doesn't?

  • How can I change the name of 'folio' and the ' name of the publication?

    Hello

    We have published a multi-folio application a unique folio in it.

    We would like to change the name of 'folio' and "the name of the publication" and we tried to do by using the dashboard. However, when clicking on "update" we box unchecked the "update content", because there is no change to the content of the folio. The problem is that this did not change anything in the application: the 'folio name' and "the name of the publication" remain the same...

    Is it possible to do without having to republish this folio?

    Thank you!

    Olivier.

    Metadata are considered as part of the content. Click Update again and leave the box "update content" checked.

  • How can I change the privileges of sharing and permission for certain applications and software?

    I need to change the permissions and settings for sharing applications. I find the custom preferences not defined by myself as well as many of those who are don't give me "read and write" access for them. When I go to "get info" to change these settings, it says I don't have permission to make changes. How can I solve this problem and make sure that it doesn't happen?

    Nothing should write an application, so I don't know why there is a problem.

    Protection of the integrity of system (SIP) in El Capitan prevents you from changing all the apps.

    For preinstalled applications, the system must have a reading and writing and group / everyone should be read-only.

    They will also have an access control entry, "group: everyone denies delete" which will appear as usual in the window read the information.

    Install apps via drag and drop, you will probably have as owner with Read and Write, but the other group is going to be read-only.

    Hello

    Go to the module using the mentioned location.
    Change the module, set the location of metadata to the correct location
    Go to data locations, the correct location should be with selected locations. If so, remove it and place it again.

    Now, go to the configuration of the module and go to the Identification
    Check the value of the location and make sure that it uses the correct location

    I think it is sometimes useful to change the location to another location and back to the correct location.
    I hope this helps.

    Kind regards

  • How can I change the values of control based on a file of reading?

    I understand that the controls were only outputs and indicators has only entries, but I'm looking for help to create code that has the capabilities of both. More specifically and, ideally, my façade would allow the user to select an old spreadsheet file to read, and these values of the worksheet would be poster. The user could then change these values to their liking and then submit those twisted values, such as a new file / replaces the old/etc. The important part is the the indicating and control playback in values.

    Thank you

    Need to wire the worksheet values in the local.  The control itself just watches.  What you have wired in your VI sets the control to its current value (of course, a bit pointless).
