Cannot move photos from one folder to another, because there is already a file with the same name
I store all of my photos on an external hard drive (I have save sometimes).
On this record, there are a bucket, with all the pictures.
But in this bucket, there are several small buckets.
I want pictures of these small buckets for the largest bucket.
I understand that they are "already there"- but I just want to have all in one place.
I need is these small buckets, because they do not really use more.
I'm able to drag + drop some of the photos in the larger bucket, but not all of them.
When I transferred a small group of pictures, I get a popup box telling me that some of my photos cannot be transferred.
This is because a file already exists in the destination with this name.
But the file name is actually for a different photo.
I understand WHY Lightroom protects me against this problem.
But I can't find a way to move these images and rename them at the same time.
I managed to move a SINGLE photo at a time and "keep two copies" option.
But then LR renames the file 'IRK_1234.copy. NAVE"or something like that.
I don't want that. I would like to rename it to something like "IRK_1234 - x.NEF", where the hyphen-x is the next available number.
Is there an elegant way to do it?
What Miss me?
I use LR - CC, on a MacBook Pro on OSX El Capitan 10.11.2
Just rename the file in Lightroom BEFORE you try to move it!

Cannot move photos from one folder to another folder in Lightroom 6
I just upgraded to Lightroom 6. I lost the ability to drag and drop the images in different folders in Lightroom. I click on the photo, move it to the folder (a white + sign in a green circle appears), but there is no movement and I can not drag and drop them to the folders on the left side of Lightroom.
I've seen this question before but no solution has been offered outside of "make sure you are clicking on the image and not the surrounding area." I have done this, restarted Lightroom, restarted my computer, uninstalled and reinstalled Lightroom and spent a lot of time in searching the Internet to solve the problem without success.
I can create folders in Lightroom, but also these folders cannot be moved. I can only remove them.
I will continue to look for a solution, but this prevents my workflow so much that I don't think I can work with Lightroom.
I'm running OS X on an iMac 27 "10.8.5
Help, please...
Try to delete your preferences file
Preferences and other locations of the file file | Lightroom CC and 6
Also, check the permissions on the affected files, make sure you have WRITE permission on the two files.

I use Windows XP - perfectly up-to-date. Whenever I have move photos from one folder to another file, the picture is no longer available and cannot be removed with using unlocker. This has happened for several years. I copy pictures and new folders whenever I want to move them, but sometimes I forget and move them and then I lose the picture I'm trying. I also noticed that there is a strange file that opens in the trash that won't let me remove it without using unlocker. These files start with "Dd" followed be a number. When I delete these use unlocker, another will appear the a different number on this subject. It is a very maddening problem. It is not possible for me to do a system restore because it lasts for quite awhile. Please help - I'm tired of losing pictures that I can't replace. Thank you for your help.

Move photos from one folder to another?
I try to orgnize photos but cannot see how to move a photo from a folder to a different existing folder or a newly created folder. XP showed the list of existing folders and I could easily just drag photos in the selected folder. I appreciate any suggestions.
Maybe missing just the navigation pane and the function "auto expand" as in Win XP.
Click on organize-> select "folder and search options" and got to the general tab. It could be two boxes "show all files" and "automatic indicator of current folder" (or the same name - is not Win 7 us). Just check the two options. Eventually your navigation pane should display the entire folders to the current folder tree. Gruss/greetings G. Born - Articles: http://blog.borncity.com

How to transfer several photos from one folder to another
I want to delete a number of photos in my folder and then transfer some blocks of them to other folders to better organize. I know how to remove one at a time, but I don't know how to highlight a bunch of them for moving. They are coming up with numbers, like 079, 080, 081 etc but not on a list where I can highlight. I also want to do the same with several short videos I have. By the way, I have transferred all this media from my iphone / ipad and everything came automatically - that is why I need now to separate and organize especially if I want to send copies to parents and friends.

How can I move notes from one folder to another?
I thought that some of my notes were missing, but it seems that some are stored in icloud and the other in different files associated with my personal email address. How can I make sure that they are all on the icloud (in case I lose my phone, when I update my phone, etc.)? How can I move them from one folder to another? I not create separate records in the first place. I guess it happened when I updated to the current IOS. Thanks for your help!
Slide left on each note you want to move to your iCloud folder. Move and delete option is available. The rest is simple.

Good morning friends,
So for my work, I need a script to open files with the same name but located in a different folder. But since I'm a total noob when it comes to programming, I can't understand how do. That's what I have in mind:
-J' I manually open an image.
-The script will look for a file with the same name in another folder that I've specified.
-The script will then select the channel CMYK of the second file and copy and paste it into the first file.
-The second file is then closed without saving the changes.
I have problems with the part where the script searches for a file with the same name as the opened file. I would really appreciate help. Thanks in advance.

How to move photos from one Collection to another Collection
Some, while the rear I hung some pictures from one Collection to another Collection.
Later, I noticed that I had lost the ability to edit images moved.
Please explain how can I move photos between Collections without causing problems?
Cliff
However, I can't figure out how to move photos from a private Collection to another more appropriate called Collection. I had thought that drag would do the trick. But I was wrong.
Well, I think it's the right way to do it. Why do you think it's wrong? What is going on? Describe in detail or show a screenshot. State of the edited, complete error messages, Word for Word.
