Catalog/Records/Collection panels self-aggrandizing ' collapse in the library module

Lightroom 4.3, Mac OS X 10.7.5

Maybe I'm just crazy today, but working in the library module, I swear I used to open the panels of catalogues, folders and Collections at the same time. Now, for example, I clicked on the records. So, to display the Collections Panel, I need to click on the arrow to the left of "Collections". Then I do. And Collections, at the same time automatically opens collapse folders. If I click on the left arrow to publish Services, he collapses Collections and opened Services to publish. "Navigator" is the only Panel I can keep open while one of the other is open.

Does make sense? I accidentally press a key or spoil a preference or something? I just tried to move in a different catalog, and I've also updated to 4.3 (I was on the previous version, when I noticed this problem this morning) but the problem remains. Am I missing something really obvious?

Never mind. I just thought of it by looking at two issues. Apparently, there's something called "Solo Mode" that does this. How I accidentally activated, I don't know. To resolve this problem, you just right-click on any dark section of a Panel and uncheck the "solo mode" option in the dropdown menu drop-down. I use Lightroom for years, and I'm still discovering things I didn't know.

Thank you!

  • Why the Collections with Lightroom Panel disappeared in the library Module?

    After the upgrade to Lightroom 5.6 (mac), the Collection Panel no longer appears in the library Module. At first I thought that the collections had been wiped out, but then I noticed that a search for a name of collection found the photos in the collection, as well as the collections display correctly in the develop Module.

    I can't understand how to get the list of collections in the library Module, which is where I use them. Can anyone help?  Thank you.

    Jim,

    In the library module, right-click (ctrl-click on Mac) on a header Panel on the left side and put a check mark on any names of missing panels.

    Not use option + click on the control key. Or hold down two fingers on the trackpad. Click on the collections of Word, not the triangle on the left.

  • Set up a new Collection without losing my place in the library

    If I'm editing in the library or development module I sometimes need to create a new Collection for the image I'm trying. Include a new position (on my site) that will contain this image and other later when I finished post-processing. A slightly different scenario, is that I think a necessary collection - not for the image, but I feel that I need to implement immediately in order to "keep thinking".

    If I leave the library to implement I sometimes write the name of the file and go to the folder name root in the left pane, click on which brands, grid, place the name of the file in the area of research... you get: a .bunch of steps and file names can return multiple images in the 133 000 files in my library image managed by Lightroom.

    I'd love to have a dialog box open on command to type in the settings of a new Collection or Collection value. But it lacks this kind of tool in Lightroom, which is a faster way to put in place a new Collection (part of the hierarchy of the selected Collection) when editing? I used the working sessions plain vanilla "Quick Collection", and this help. If I have another Collection already referred to as the "target Collection', then the quick collection clicks in the upper right corner, or 'B' keys, is marked will force anything to this previous collection, which can be an assignment of old days, now forgotten.

    Furthermore, a plug-in that has helped me manage the collections of images specifically for my site/blog is Meow "WP/LR" app that uses the module for publication of Lightroom. (Wordpress environment)

    If you change in the develop Module, you can click on the + symbol in the Collections Panel and create a new collection. You can then select from the dialog box to create the collection within a collection (or not).

    You can also choose to include the image that you are working. If you choose this option, then return the library module, you will notice that you will see the image you are working on and not parents in the same folder.

    Rather than write the number down and research, you can right click on the image and choose «go to the folder in the library»

    If you are in the library Module N/control N keyboard shortcut will create a new collection. The same options as above apply. If you choose not to include the image in the collection that you create, you will essentially stay where you are - in the library Module.

    Does that answer your question?

    The left pane is a "choose one". "All photos" are just that. 'G' is a different option.

    Lightroom is not a file Explorer. He knows only the drives and files that you have imported the photos of. If LR shows not all of the photos that are on your hard drive, it is because you did not import all photos.

    If LR shows you a photo in "all photos" but do not show it in the folder you think he is in, go to "all photos", select the image, right click "view in the library folder. This will show you where LR think the picture is.

  • Where the folders Panel in the develop module

    I've just updated Lightroom version 3.4 and now I can't find the files Panel in the develop module. In the library module, it's not in the develop module. It isn't even an option to right click for a panel of folders under the module development.

  • Lightroom 5: AppleScript: action 'AXShowMenu' in the Smart Collection Panel does not display a context menu

    We are developing a tool for simple automation using Lightroom 5 (the most recent version of the penal code) using AppleScript.

    For certain actions, we need the context menu in the Panel smart Collections, for example, to import smart collections descriptions.

    According to the documentation and sources on stackoverflow and elsewhere, AXShowMenu should bring up this menu.

    So far I was not able to do the contextual pop-up menu.

    With the help of UIElementInspector and the browser of the user interface, I have found the element that has the attached AXShowMenu action. Based on the code provided by the browser of the user interface, I got the following script, that I run from the Applescript Editor:

    tell application "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5"

    activate

    tell application "System Events"

    tell process "Lightroom"

    set frontmost to true

    perform action 1 of static text "Smart Collections" of group 1 of row 11 of outline 1 of scroll area 1 of window 6

    delay 2

    end tell

    end tell

    end tell

     

    tell application "AppleScript Editor" to activate

    Note that if you try to recreate it, the number of the window as well as the number of the line may be different. In addition, the last line is just more convenience and not really relevant to the code.

    In the window results in the AppleScript Editor, I have the following:

    perform action 1 of static text "Smart Collections" of group 1 of row 11 of outline 1 of scroll area 1 of window 6 of process "Lightroom"

    --> action "AXShowMenu" of static text "Smart Collections" of group 1 of row 11 of outline 1 of scroll area 1 of window 6 of application process "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5"

    which means I have to invoke the action.

    But... nothing happens.

    Any insight, etc. workaround is much appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    Just for the records, I asked the same question on Stackoverflow, and I got a response that does not work. This solution uses a small Python program to really simulate mouse clicks.

  • Catalog disappeared from the left panel of the Library tab

    I currently work with a trial version of Lightroom 4.2 and I made a few mistakes. The end result is that the catalog has disappeared from the left panel of the Library tab is to say I only see folders, collections and Services to publish...

    I tried to use the file/new catalog open catalog and open the recent item but, in any case, I get an error box that appears: "..." Catalog address made reference to a location that is unavailable' it does not help to close and reopen LR

    Now for the confession as to how this situation developed. I had been using LR willingly using the catalog that was created automatically when I started. So I decided to try to create a new catalog, in fact I ended up creating a few new catalogues. Having then decided that it was a stupid idea, I decided to remove all catalogs and start over with a catalog that I had put up (I was not worried about losing the updates for the photos that I had been playing with)

    But, as I could find nothing in LR on the removal of catalogs, I decided to remove them through Windows Explorer. When I went back to LR, catalogue was always on display in the Panel on the left and, when I looked in the Explorer, it is in the My Pictures/Lightroom folder that I thought that I had deleted along with all the other catalogues of origin. No doubt it had been recreated automatically as in my original use of LR

    Then, I composed my errors by clicking on the + right of the catalog and interest, choose what was at the top of the resulting list. It is at this time that catalog disappeared never to be seen again.

    Sorry about the labyrinthine tale of woe, but, if anyone has any ideas on how I can get back to testing LR, I'd love to know. Now I'm completely blocked

    Another small request: is it possible to change the name of the catalog without creating a new catalog?

    Sure. Close Lightroom, then browse the catalog (.lrcat file) using the Finder or the Solution Explorer, and then rename it. The only thing is to make sure that you rename also in tandem with the adjacent Previews folder.

    So, if your catalog is called, say, 'Lightroom Catalog.lrcat of 4' and you rename to something like "My Master LR4 Catalog.lrcat", then you will need to rename the folder "Lightroom 4 catalog Previews.lrdata" adjacent to "My Master LR4 catalog Previews.lrdata".

  • Catalogs and Collections

    Windows 7 and CS4 Production Premium, LR3, and Acrobat X I just got LR3.3 then this application is new to me. I currently use a non Adobe application for my image database management. My images are primarily associated with the work of genealogy saved as TIFF uncompressed. Right now I have 5716 files in 68 cases. It is organized as follows: the highest level is by family name (6 files). Each of these folders contain 9 other subfolders that represents the content of the image; for example, people, brothers and sisters, family, etc. Among the higher level folders is used to contain images that have many of the family name in the image. In addition to these genealogy records, there are other folders that contain pictures sorted according to certain characteristics, such as travel, scenic, trains, planes, etc. Using the current terms of the request, I maintain a catalog for each subfolder. This is a thumbnail of each image in this folder with the name and the description of IPTC caption 'title '. I make extensive use of IPTC metadata for each image: title, Description, title, keywords, and Instructions. I want to understand the LR3 catalogs and collections, and collections smart before you begin the transition to LR3. Q1: whenever I add a new image to my hard file storage folder, I have to add it manually to the LR catalog? With my current application, when a folder is selected in this application, it searches the folder changes and the new thumbnails are generated for new files. Q2: A smart collection seems built by keywords in the catalog in LR3 and the non-smart collection must be created manually from the LR3 catalog... Fix? Q3: When I create a collection of "key words" can parts of filename structure be included (not placed in metadata keyword) in building criteria? Q4: Thought to use a catalog in LR3 for my genealogy pictures and one for my non-genealogie images. Then use collections (chip or non-smart to determine) for each of my subfolders. His reasonable? Q5: Can I do a search on the catalog via keywords without a defined collection name? It would be a temporary Assembly of images only. Q6: Can I print the catalog, either a collection with the file name and IPTC (e.g., Headline) data under each thumbnail?

    What I wanted was to avoid a two-step process: place the image of the 'original' in a folder from the hard drive, then import in the catalog. I will maintain the architecture of the hard drive for several reason folder

    Well, this is not automatic, but after you put new images in your folder, when you launch lightroom, right - click the folder and "synchronize the folder.  He will review the matter and propose to add anything, there.   So at least you don't have to remember what are the images to add or not; a bit easier than to try to use the import dialog box.

    See you soon!

  • OBIEE presentation catalog records relationship

    If a user select a field in a record, can, we highlight the B & C records that are related to A.  This will help users make Ad hoc communications.

    Can you please help me in this?

    Thank you!

    Use custom Description function. When the mouse on the file, it will be the show "Table A is related to B, C" like that.

  • Catalogs and Collections?  Which is the correct way / better to organize a large library of images?

    Hi all

    I decided to spend time in organizing and creating a backup decent system for my personal iibrary of images which is about 500Gig.

    I used CaptureOne for years, but to do research the best software to use for this purpose, decided to jump in the use of Lightroom.

    I am now reasonably confident with the basics of importing and creating catalogs / folders / Collections etc., but there seems to be a slight fracture on how people break there images using these tools.

    Some people recommend that this is done by creating multiple catalogs is to say every year or even by use / event because it prevents LR latecomers under duress of a large portfolio.   Others say to keep catalogs to an absolute minimum and sort all Collections projects instead.

    I am sure that there is no absolute right and wrong and a lot is probably down to personal preferences, but can I ask the community if you would mind throwing some advantages and disadvantages of each method please?

    Many thanks for any help

    Some people recommend that this is done by creating multiple catalogs is to say every year or even by employment

    It is a horrible idea which defeats the entire purpose of the Lightroom library Module. Any who recommend what needs to explain how it is preferable, because it isn't better somehow, in my opinion.

    If you have multiple catalogs, you can not search for your set of photos. You find not all photos with particular metadata, you can find the photos with this metadata in a catalog.

    because this would prevent late LR under the constraint of a major portfolio

    A problem that does not exist. People in this area and other forums report catalogs more 500 000 pictures works well.

    Others say to keep catalogs to an absolute minimum and sort all Collections projects instead.

    Most people I know (including most of the people in this forum I've read) say to keep everything in a single catalog. Use keywords and other metadata, no collections, as your tool main body. Smart Collections are used as a mechanism of research (not a mechanism of "spell"). Regular collections are used to group the pictures together for a specific task, such as the creation of a book, slideshow, web page, etc. (again not a mechanism of "spell".
