• Sync folder - shows new images, but they are not

  Lately I have had a few records that I could make a virtual copy or add metadata - when I right click to synchronize the folder, the shortcut menu shows that it is 30 new photos to import. When I click the sync button, the screen goes through the import phase and then a dialog box comes up saying no. Photos or videos found.

  No harm seems to come from this, but it is kind of annoying, and I still wonder and worry that I might be screwing something up?

  Any advice appreciated

  Tom

  I checked and in a first time was surprised by the differences... but on further examination, it seems that they are the same except that finder has all the files, .xmp... then Yes, they are the same numbers in all cases, I checked.

  The text at the top left States the number of images in LR film now showing in a given folder (or collection) vs. the total number. It's maybe less, due to the stacking, or due to a display filter.

  OTOH, the total number of images LR can be easily larger than the number of presents, if some of these images in LR are virtual copies of image files.

  In addition to XMP sidecar files number of files Finder can also reflect sidecar JPG files, if you shot Raw + JPG. Unless you chose to see these independently within LR, they won't have the count of LR. Also other programs use their own, named differently, metadata sidecar files. County of LR may of course include images in subfolders, or not.

  The actual file content matching, with what we see within LR, so is quite problematic and indirect. Is IMO better to think the concept of file in LR, as a report database that was executed. No, 'what is in this folder"- but that, ' what are the pictures of this catalogue currently claim to be associated with this folder." This is how LR can always keep such a number, even though the record and the affected files are offline / missing.

• I can't change my computer sleep. I don't want to have to enter a password every time he sleeps. Changes in user accounts, but they do not work, or I would like to save these changes.

  My computer is asleep after a few minutes. Then I have to enter a password to reactivate.  I want to be able to change the settings for a time of sleep of my choice. I don't want to have to enter a password to wake the computer either. I went to user accounts and tried to change the settings, but they do not save the changes.

  What happens when you try to change the power plan?
  You shouldn't need administrator rights to change the settings in most situations.

• Cannot change show Hidden files and folders option, continues to come back to hidden

  Original title: activate the hidden files and folders. -Registry problem! Windows 7

  I had a meeting with a virus, which had a game with my registry so that I cannot view hidden files and folders. Whenever I click on "View files and folders hodden" and then click on folder options, it is by default to "do not show hidden folders and files". I've been browsing around, find people who give advice and I have seen some changes, but it STILL keep diverting back to do not show.

  I am running Windows 7 Profesional x 64

  There are a few default values and checked in 2 subfolders in the shadow folder.

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Folder\Hidden

  Any help from people who know a little more about the registry that I do, would be greatly apprechiated.

• do not show hidden files, folders or drives - in the view tab - button will not change

  • Windows explore-
  • Organize-
  • Folder options and research-
  • See tab-
  • do not show hidden files, folders or drives button (small blue dot)

  It will not disappear.
  There is no button 'Show hidden... '. ».
  There is only 'don't show me. " ' button.
  It will not change no matter what I do.
  Most other items in the view tab have check boxes or replacements to choose.
  This is not the case.

  I want to see everything.
  What gives?

  P.S. On a side note - I was looking for initially c:\programdata (directory). That's how all this started. I FOUND IT, is told in passing. HOWEVER - IT DOES NOT EVEN APPEAR ON THE PROMPT BACK - OMG.

  Just thought I would add that :)

  Hi JoeNed,

  I see that you have some problems with the display tab in windows Explorer. I'll help you with this problem.

  1. What is the brand and model of the computer?

  2. what security software is installed on the computer?

  3. have you made changes on the computer recently?

  Method 1.

  Start the computer in safe mode and check if that helps.

  Advanced startup options (including safe mode): http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode

  Method 2.

  Run a full scan of the computer with the Microsoft Safety Scanner to make sure that the computer is virus-free.

  Warning of Security Scanner: there could be a loss of data while performing an analysis using the Microsoft safety scanner to eliminate viruses as appropriate.

If it was your intention with this tool to recover a deleted file to non-system, try using a file instead of system restore recovery program.

  Method 5.

• Cannot find folder options to show hidden files.

  I can't show hidden files because the link "folder and search options" is disabled.  I tried to go to control panel, go to all items in the Control Panel, then clicking on "folder options", but he was not there.  Why has this dissappeared?  Is this the reason why I can't view my hidden files?  How can I fix?

  Then type this in the box Search , exactly as shown:

  %SystemRoot%\system32\Control.exe/name Microsoft.FolderOptions

• Show hidden files and folders option does not

  I'm trying to access a hidden folder, C:\programdata\... I can't see it in Explorer. When I go into control panel > folder options > discovers... the option box to display hidden files and folders is already selected.

  I tried to change this option to not display hidden files and folders by selecting the radio button, and then clicking on apply. Then I exit the menu display. However, when I return to the menu display the radio button beside display hidden files. That is to say it is not "saved" change.

  I changed other elements in the advanced example view menu Hide extensions of known file types, and it works very well.

  I was not able to find this problem in the forum. Of course, I have restarted my pc. I don't know when this problem was that I don't often get this hidden folder.

  I am running vista home premium 32 bit

  Thank you

• I used "Show Hidden Files" in a folder and all my files disspeared

  I used "Show Hidden Files" in a folder on an external hard drive and all my files disappeared after I changed the settings and press ENTER.

  I also made the change not in a folder, but the subfolders. I have many files duplicate on my external hard drive and I noticed that each file said that she had more files that were contained in each file, so I wanted to see what were these hidden files. After you have clicked on enter, each music file and folder just disappeared.

  I searched my pc but can't find these files. I got more than $ 100 of music who has simply disappeared.

  What can I do b/call, the music were in a separate folder, and there were more than 50 files with hundreds of songs. I mean how to do a cover for it?

  Return to the folder options and use the "Restore default settings" button to change all the options back how they were, and see if it helps.

  You can also try to use the drive in another computer, if you think that the configuration of your computer could be the problem.

• How to display the hidden files and folders even if I've already enabled "Show hidden files, folders and drives" to "Advanced settings"?

  How to display the hidden files and folders even if I've already enabled "Show hidden files, folders and drives" to "Advanced settings"?

  After I enabled "Show hidden files, folders and drives" in 'Advanced settings', I can't yet see in the folder but I know there is a file in this program of WinRAR folder form as pictured below where I opened the case both at the same time.

  

  Hope you can help in this case...

  It would be possible that the file is marked as a system folder (which is just a check box in properties such as the hidden check box). So in your folder options, uncheck the "Hide protected operating system files" and see if it will be visible.

  Or another thing to try: remonter back a level, hold down SHIFT while you right-click the complete file and choose "Open command window here", then type DIR to see if the file is listed.
