Can I import a folder under folders and complete at a time?

I'm fairly new to LR and have TONS of files in a main folder on Vista.  These files have duplicate names, some have been taken with the digital camera of early gen as well as more recent files with my 40 d. But import each folder and subfolder 1 will both take 1 million years.  Here is basically what I want to do.

(1) import all photos (probably about 6-8 thousand) at a time

2) pass through these photos and mark thus get rid of the obviously crappy pictures that I'll never do anything with it, kill the dupes

(3) tag Meta as much as I can

4) export to a new foler

All files are in jpg.  Day Memorial project well huh?

Yes!

First I place them in a single master folder, where you want your photos of LR to reside. The use of import in place, and "do not import duplicates" checked. This will make your job a little easier, hopefully.

  • How can I change the folder under Folders options browse to open each folder in its own window?

    No matter how many times I select "Open each folder in the same window", the files still open in a separate window. So I then several windows open in order to view the other subfolders. Also when I select "File Types" tab and I see that the extension of the file types: (folder) and (folder), they both show (none), which I guess is OK.  So when I click on the "Advanced" tab area 'Actions' watch [find] and [open] with Open being the DEFAULT action. But for Edit or delete buttons are greyed out! So anything that can be changed is the default action is open or find it.

    I just want to be able to open and view the folders in the same window! Do you think I have to reinstall XP Home Edition, running around SP3?

  • Why can't the PCI 6040E under devices and Interfaces

    Hello!

    I intend to use a PCI 6040 E connected to a BNC 2010 to measure 3 different voltages as an entry. I installed the mx of NOR-DAQ 9.7.5 on windows 7 (64-bit). My question is why I can't see my devices under the "devices and Interfaces? even by Labview, DAQ assistant, acquire the signal, anaolge of entry... I can't configure the devices of this error: no supported devices found.

    Any idea? Thank you

    You're going the wrong way.  The latest version of DAQmx that supports PCI-6040 is 9.5.1.  See this article for more information: OR-DAQmx and NOR-DAQ Driver Support: PCI/PXI devices.  And LabVIEW 2011 is the latest version of LabVIEW that supports DAQmx 9.5.1.

  • can not find the folder under brushes in the finder

    Hi everyone im trying to clean my presets in Photoshop CS5, I recently saved the brushes that I created in photoshop and I clicked on the new folder button at the bottom to create a new folder named "My brushes" and I saved the brushes, which was ideal because he has created a line of separation between my brushes and photoshops built in brushes to keep things neat and make searching for my brushes less complicated, because before he confused them in alphabetical order with the brushes included in the drop down menu in the control panel shapes.

    But now, I can not find this folder "My brushes" or its contents any where except in photoshop, so I can't rename the folder, delete it or backup my brushes someone know where photoshop is hiding? any help greatly appreciated

  • How can I specify the options of folders and files to memory cards in LR4?

    Hello!

    I read the sections Set import and file management preferences and settings to specify Auto Import in the manual. But they do not seem to answer my question. Other things that are written about importing files in Lightroom seem to relate only to importing photos to the Lightroom Catalog, that is not my main concern, although I do not want them imported into the catalog as well. But before the pictures can go to the Lightroom Catalog, they need to be improted, in other words copied from the memory card on the local hard drive. In short, all I want is for Lightroom to take over the responsibility of Canon EOS Utility and behave in the same way during the import/copy of the files on the local hard drive. How is Lightroom sets for this?

    I want to just this type of file and folder structure:

    J:\2010_08_02\IMG_0037.JPG

    J:\2010_08_02\IMG_0039.JPG

    J:\2010_08_22\IMG_0372.CR2

    J:\2010_08_22\IMG_0372.JPG

    J:\2010_11_29\IMG_1405.CR2

    J:\2010_11_29\IMG_1405.JPG

    J:\2011_06_17\IMG_2887.CR2

    J:\2011_06_17\IMG_2887.JPG

    ... etc!

    1. let's all start, where the heck can I specify the destination for the new photos folder?

    There is an option called see the import dialog when a memory card is detected under the general tab in Preferences, but there is no option of destination of the file associated with this.

    2. how can I tell Lightroom to leave the original file names as they are (i.e. IMG_2887.CR2) and place them in a new subfolder (i.e. 2011_06_17) in the destination folder (J:\), named after the date of the photo capture (17 July 2011)?

    There are a few options on the management of the files tab in the Preferences, but they do not seem to affect the import of files on the local hard drive.

    3 it maybe should have been the first question really. Lightroom is able to import files from the camera or card to the local hard disk drive at all?

    Of course, I expect to be able to do, but from the looks of him, I'm not too confident in this respect.

    To begin I would just copy my picture files, directly from the camera or a card reader in a destination folder of my choice, in the same way as Canon EOS Utility it. I didn't wat to simply import the files into the Lightroom Catalog and start working with the files directly from the camera or memory card. Hell no! It is not an external drive for the love of God!

    Please advise!

    I think what you want is on the right side of the screen import, down. There is a Destination area. It can be reduced. Just click on the small triangle next to 'Destination' to develop. Everything you need is there.

  • Folder redirection folders and writable Volumes

    If we use the folder redirection via GPO for our desktop view and also deploy writable volumes, how can we be sure that writable volumes does not store the same file data which is already redirected? For example, if a user stored a 20 GB on the desktop file, and we have the folder redirection by storing this safe to say the home directory of the user, how can we ensure that accessible volumes in writing is not to store this 20 GB file too?

    Thank you

    Hey Iforbes,

    We also use the folder redirection in our virtual machine as well as writable volumes.

    As a reference, Appvolumes does nothing different that would make a 'normal' Windows machine I mean, it's that writable volumes stores no information that is not written on their local drive.

    If you configure the folder redirection and files of succeeeds redirection of files stored on the homedrive because windows sees this directory as the location to store the information, it is not stored locally. However, if for the folder redirection for some reason fails and that the Office IS stored locally, information will be saved in the accessible volume writable.

    Because the folder redirection is performed at the opening session that it is already in place when the user connects so information will not be stored on the available volume in writing. We do this successfully with desktop, my documents (and subfolders) and downloads and it works like a charm.

  • Importing saved Windows Mail folders in new Windows Mail program

    I'll have to re - set up my Windows Mail after the death of my old hard drive. I am trying to import my old files from my Windows Mail Backup in my new Windows Mail. I was able to transfer the former folders of the backup but when I go to import it recognizes not all files. The error reads: "no messages are located in this folder or another application is running...". "I read several threads and it seems I also have to transfer via a file called folders.dbx, but it is not a list. I did a complete search on my C drive and nothing. How can I get these old records imported without this file?

    Thank you!

    Windows Mail does not dbx files.  Copy the store directory of all message on the desktop of the new machine.  Then right-click on the file and go to properties and make sure that they are not read-only.  Then go to file | Import | Messages in WinMail and choose the format from Windows Mail 7 and point to this directory.   See also here for general information: www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#wm
     
    If you can not always get messages in folders, you can create a new folder in WinMail and open it so that it displays a list of empty message.  Then, open up one of the subdirectories containing eml files in Explorer and drag an eml file on top of the list of message empty folder and drop and you will see it is embedded in the file.  Once you get a job, you can drag and drop all eml files at a time, as long as they are only the eml files.
