  • Cannot view smart collections on another computer

    I generated about smart collections a dozen photos on an external drive. This has been done on my laptop.

    When I try to view the smart collections with the disc mounted on my desktop, I get the error message "target collection folder is not found." Sometimes it will say purge the cache, which I did several times, to no avail. I know that the smart collection data on the hard drive of the laptop. Is it possible to put it on the same drive as the pictures?

    When I return to the laptop, all is well again. Is there a way to see the collections on both computers?

    Is there a way to see the collections on both computers?

    I'm not sure but I think it's possible. Bridge is very specific user and a collection and smart collection is nothing else than a bunch of aliases. The files are on the same drive as the other end is different.

    You can copy the collection file itself (on a Mac: user library / application support / Adobe / Bridge CSxx / collections to the other system in the same place, but I still don't know if it would work it is also a bit of a PITA to keep searching and copying of these files.)

    My workflow would be to create new folders on the external drive and select the collection in the content window. Use select all, then copy (or move, some workflow suites you) files in the new location. These new records can be selected in both machines. Is not ideal, but for now I don't see what that be better

  • Model of Sony BRAVIA KDL 42W700B cannot view photos and videos of the external USB hard drive!

    Hey Sony,

    I recently bought the SONY BRAVIA KDL-42W700B model (http://www.sony.co.in/product/kdl-42w700b).

    The TV is recently launched by Sony, which made me buy this model.

    But the first day itself, I came across a problem with this model. I wanted to see some of my photos and videos, so I plugged my external USB drive (320 GB). I discovered this, he can not display my photos and videos in the directory view. He picked up any random photo/video to display from the hard drive.  In the thumbnail view, I could see of 27 items which were taken at random on the hard drive, and every time I connect it to the TV, I see some photos/videos at random that did not exist on the hard drive.

    Among the Options, button, tried to switch to view folders, but it also did not help. Only a few cases were projected, and that too not in any order, a few files randomly were chosen who have entered.

    Contacted the people at the showroom where I bought this TV and discovered that the problem was with this model ONLY. This model was taking too long (waiting at least a half hour load the photos and still did not get the pictures/videos in a correct view). They tested on various models (KDL-32W700B, KLV-40R452A, KDL-50W800B) and all these models supported the correct view and order, and he was also able to load the external hard drive fast enough.

    Apart from this, the bluetooth pairing happens not on this model. It seems that there is a serious problem with this model.

    In addition, contacted the people from sony who came to the demonstration and installation of the TV. Giving random answers to format the hard drive!

    Could you please help me on this? It seems that this model of Sony is defective.

    See the topic.

    Work point Tho ':

    When you view a number of photos with Wn XP picture Viewer, could opt to print photos.  A window showing all photos with checkboxes having chosen to print photos has been posted.  This allowed a selected some, any or all the photos for printing.  Then print size options were given.

    Windows 7 - working with digital images
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/working-with-digital-pictures

    Here's something to try...

    Connect the camera to the computer via a USB cable and
    Turn on the camera.

    If open windows... Close them.

    Reach... Start / computer...

    Look at the drive letters and see if one of them
    represents the camera. He can say removable disk

    If the camera is recognized... right click on the drive letter
    and from the menu choose... Open or explore.

    The directory of the memory card in the camera must
    poster and if you browse through the various
    files, you must find the photo files.

    Once found... you can copy/paste the pictures in a folder
    on your hard drive.

    Simple and the best solution IMHO is to use an internal
    or external USB memory card reader.

    It will not drain your camera batteries and can be faster.
    FWIW... download from the camera when batteries
    can be low after a long photo shoot could result
    corrupted photos.

    You have a USB media drive internal or external?

    Insert the memory card into the correct location on the media player...
    If open windows... Close them.

    When the card is inserted... If you go to... Start / computer... is
    player card on one or several removable disks?

    Removable (e :)) drive
    Removable disk (e :))
    Removable drive (g)

    If_Yes_you can download photos from there. Left click
    the drive letter that corresponds to the memory card must
    display the directory of the card and you can copy and paste or
    Drag and drop the photos of your choice in a folder on your hard drive
    drive.

    Just a select group of photos do a right-click and choose... Copy...
    then navigate to the folder that you want, and then right-click the
    folder and choose Paste.
