Converted library to DNG now what about the other files?

Just, I crossed the step and converted all my images CR2 to DNG, replacing the originals.

However, I have always all sidecar JPEG files left over. Can I safely delete these, or are they held by the DNG?

Also, I was using before the option to write the XMP sidecar files. With DNG is there any real need to continue to do this?

Thank you

Thanks for your reply. I guess what I'm wondering really is: if I now go ahead and delete these files, .xmp and .jpg, will I have problems in Lightroom? In other words, Lightroom will take care, if these files are missing?

Lightroom won't care. If you made adjustments to the RAW outside LR, those who are saved in the file .xmp. You should have read the metadata of the file in order to bring them into the LR catalog. But now that the orginal FIRST disappeared, I don't think that it works now in any case (it's worth a shot if you must, however). Now, if you did all your editing in LR than to go ahead and delete the JPEG and xmp files.

As for your other question, you can always write metadata to the file, but with DNG, metadata are embedded in the dng itself and not a separate xmp file. You never had to write metadata in the file, though.  This info has been and is in the catalog/preview files. In doing so, just allows you to make this info in other applications.

    In the specifications of this model, I can see that there is a USB 3.0 port.
    All 4 usb ports work correctly but I don't see anything like USB 3.0 in Bus USB controllers in Device Manager, I tried to install "ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp53501-54000/sp53671.exe" from the drivers for my product download page. It doesn't change anything in the device but installed a Manager application called "USB 3.0 Host Control Utility" when I opened, it displays a "warning!"

  • What is the ldiag file in Windows 7? How can I stop Windows write files in this folder?

    Can someone tell me what is the ldiag file in Windows 7?

    Somehow, Windows creates files and writes to this file. It keeps then write files until the entire hard drive is full. In other words, there is no place to save a restore point and no place to open Outlook, etc.

    When this has happened in the past, I had to contact the Microsoft response service and a level 2 technician to erase files. They said, the problem has been "fixed", but he continues to be...

    Do you know what "program" in Windows write files to this folder? I think it's a kind of diagnostic file. I tried the search "help" and the community and have not found anything to answer.

    Well, I hope that he is an expert in the community who can advise me on this. Thank you in advance.

    Thank you for your kindness in answering this question. I worked with technician level 2 Microsoft Office of response on the issue.

    I see that the files are part of the Lenovo system. Somehow, the Lenovo system analysis - triggered by something unknown to me--and wrote a text of 25 to 30 Gigabyte file!  I've identified it as a program of Lenovo, the write file and the program triggered by some unknown parameter. Then, I took the step to stop this program, Lenovo to run and then remove the text files.

    The steps you suggested are 'typical' first response / suggestions that you could do in that first level. However, in this case that they had nothing to do with the real problem.

    I often do a disk cleanup. This program is not clean these text files of the diagnosis of Lenovo.

    I start the computer in safe mode to diagnose problems. Yet once, just for the record, being in safe mode has nothing to do with the question of the Lenovo running program.

    No, there is no error message other than a message about 'disk full '. I ran a small program to see the size of the folder and was able to quickly identify the issue of file ldiag containing two text files, each about 25 gigabytes.

    Once again, thank you for your suggestions, but they were just basic, 'typical' suggestions and really had nothing to do with this specific problem. However, you have correctly identified the ldiag as being a file of Lenovo. Once that technology Tier 2 response office and found out that we were able to "solve" the problem.

    I'll keep the links you sent for reference.

    Thank you for taking the time to answer.

    Records are a method of setting permissions in VMware vCenter. They form a triage unit and behave as a logical separation. When you first add the hosts to vCenter and you have all the files, there will be a default folder created for you as Richardsonporto mentioned.

    Later, you can create new folders and separate the virtual machine by drag-and - drop of their.

  • In Lightroom, after that I turned my RAW files to DNG can I delete the original files?

    In Lightroom 5, after that I turned my RAW files to DNG can I delete the original files? I am fill hard drives at time (or so it seems) and I remember someone once telling me that after I converted my dng files RAW versions, I could delete my original RAW files.

    Is this true?

    Ideas?

    Entry?

    Thank you!

    Yes, you can remove the original RAW files once convert you them to DNG. The only downside is that if you want to use the software from the manufacturer of the camera for a reason, so key information that can be used by the software manufacturer is deleted in the conversion from RAW to DNG.

    RXE files are generated by the LEGO MINDSTORMS programming environment (also called NXT - G; it is based on LabVIEW but not equivalent).  These files contain binary data representing a MINDSTORMS program.  To open them, you need the LEGO software.

    This comparison can also help clarify:

    Original title: Windows 7: what are the individual "file system type" files in the folder system volume information accumulating [not the files system restore I already know and don't use yet]

    Hi-

    I stopped using the system restore, I found a better solution, for me, that's what I have to do.
    Then I noticed that several 'file system' 'type' was being created, 12 times yesterday, 3 up to today in the early hours of the morning and stored in they System Volume Information folder, anywhere from 30 MB to 2 GB.
    three of these file names 'file system' 'type' are:

    Hi John,.

    Yes, you can delete the system volume information data if not to use the system restore.

    You will need to give permission to the folder until you delete it.

  • Get a preview of image files but not the other files

    In the Finder (or an alternative file manager) is there a way to show previews of image files, but not for the other files?

    With the image files, it will display a preview. With other types of file, a preview is useless and its best to see a standard icon indicating the file type.

    Any decent file on all Linux distributions browser lets you choose Preview vs standard icon based on case by case basis depending on the file type. I can't see how to proceed in the Finder (or the various alternatives as TotalFinder). How can I me Finder for this?

    The thumbnails, you mean? I don't think that there is a 'decent' solution for OS x. But then again, I don't know everything.
