Cannot associate the copy of the original file

I have a lot of files that I created by making a copy of the original and modify.  I have the original file with no edit history.  The copy which shows the results of the edition is marked as a missing file and the change history is grayed out. The two files share the same name, except that one is a copy.  Is it possible to add a link to these files?  When I try to look for the missing file, and then point to the original, it says that the file is already linked to a file and cannot be linked to a second file. Any ideas or suggestions would be accepted with gratitude.

Thank you for your ideas.

Missing files must be reconnected via this procedure: http://www.computer-darkroom.com/lr2_find_folder/find-folder.htm

After that, you can 'link' the original and copy via stacking in Lightroom (as long as they are in the same folder)

There is no need in Lightroom to make copies first before editing. Lightroom editing is completely non-destructive and your original pixels are never changed in the file of the original photo.

  • Just installed CS6, but cannot associate the JPG file type with Photoshop.

    Earlier, I installed Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom 4. Types of PSD and TIFF files work fine, but I'm completely unable to associate the JPG, JPEG or any other variant with the Photoshop program, such that I can double-click on the photo file and open Photoshop and photography. I can associate JPG to bridge or Lightroom or other programs, but when I go to Photoshop, then select Photoshop.exe nothing happens, even not an error message. Does anyone have an idea what is happening here?

    I use Windows 10 and iTunes version 12.3.1.

    It's the path statement where the music is currently located on my hard drive:

    If I click on a single song from within File Explorer, it opens iTunes and the song plays without problem.

    To try to solve this problem, I went in 'Advanced' in 'Préférences' and changed the iTunes media folder location to match the location of the files on my disk hard as you can see below.

    Unfortunately, it did not work either. iTunes is always gives me the same message that it cannot locate the original files. I REALLY hope someone can help me finally tried for weeks to solve this problem.

  • Is it possible to synchronize the copied file in the local folder with the original file in the network?

    Hello

    I copied a file from the shared network folder and it is really important document, so I need to use this file as a file off the local drive connection and backup as well just in case where the cause accidental, but I don't want to save it each time and don't want to use the original file in the network.

    Is it possible to automatically synchronize the copied file in the local folder with the original file in the network?

    Thank you

    Absolutely without interruption would require a program to write that monitors files on the file locks and triggers a sync as soon as he sees a change.  So, since we cannot just write a program, the best thing is either:

    (1) an icon on your desktop that you can click each time you want to synchronize "synchronize my files now.

    or

    (2) plan the "my sync files' to run automatically every x minutes.  It could be a batch script that checks to see if the file is more recent and copies only files that have changed.  Although perhaps a little aggressive, you could plan this thing check-and-copy-a batch file - again to run every 60 seconds.

    Batch files allow you to control the operations very directly, but Microsoft has also made a (not supported) tool called SyncToy who does all the same things, but has a graphical interface to select your options. It can be programmed to run automatically on a schedule.

  • Error copying file or folder: cannot read the source file or disk.

    My problem occurs when you try to copy on the same computer I am on (or to a remote drive).  I get one of these messages in the dialog "error copying file or folder.

    box:

    Impossible to copy 'Filename': data error (cyclic redundancy check).
    Impossible to copy 'Filename': cannot read the source file or disk.

    Hey Norton victim,

    (a) what is your operating system?
    (b) what program file you are not able to copy?

    As the files are copied, Windows verifies that the data that has been copied are the same as the source files. The cyclic redundancy check (CRC) error occurs when the copied data does not match the original.
     
    This could be down to a mistake of the DVD, the disc goes wrong and has failed to 'read' the file properly or the file was placed on a bad sector on your hard drive. (Could be just down to a scratch or some marks on the dvd, maybe clean it if necessary and try again).
     
    I would run a check disk (CHKDSK) against the drive to rule that, although lacking - you have another dvd player to try the disc again? If so, try the dvd in another drive, or even a completely different machine to try to pin-point the problem.
     
    At the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:
     
    Chkdsk /r
     
    Note: If bad sectors are detected when running check disk utility and attempt recovery of bad sectors is verified during the verification of the drive for errors, data in the bad sector can be lost as they tried to recover bad sectors.

  • cannot read the source file or disc for install.wim when file copying.

    I'm doing a windows 7 bootable from a USB key, and when copying files every thing goes more except for the install.wim

    I checked there is enough space on the disk, and I also tried copying from disk to my office, same question.

    I tried using the command line to move the file and get an "Access denied" error message, which I believe is the root cause as to why I can't move the file in the first place.

    Hi jamesgillwn,

    1. when exactly you get this error message?
    2. what disc do you use to reinstall?
    3. What is the exact error that appears when you try to start?
    4. at what point of the installation you get the error message?

    After researching the error 0x8007000D code is essentially due to file corruption and a problem with the drive itself.

    First check if you have scratches or dust on the disc and clean the surface and try again.

    To check if the disk is wrong, you will need to copy the contents of the DVD to the hard drive and try to install using that.

    Try the steps from the following link:

    Error message when you try to install Windows Vista by using the DVD drive on the computer: "Windows cannot install required files".

  • "could not be used because the original file cannot be found".

    Due to the use of the program duplicate Fixer of Photos on my Mac, I now have quite a few photos in Lightroom was marked as "could not be used because the original file cannot be found" and a small! mark appears on the thumbnail.

    I would like to know if I choose these photographs (more than 400 in all of my collection of approximately 20,000) by some filter? I did not understand this point, and it would be useful to follow them down (to then define as rejected and then removed from the LR catalog) without having to wade through hundreds of folders, etc.

    Suggestions for a filter would be very appreciated.

    Tony

    PS I probably shouldn't have trashed the peaks of duplicate Fixer Photos, but this is now water under the brifge...

    Use the menu command library-> find all the Photos of missing
