Copy the folder Alternative

According to the help file for LR 3, you cannot copy a folder in LR.

The scan workflow that I am developing is that

  • I have scan TIFF in the file Archive.
  • I make a copy of the archive file to use as a working folder.
  • I rename the files in the working folder.

Is there another way to do this in LR?

When you import your TIFF in Lightroom of what you call the file archive, you can tell Lightroom to make a copy and put it in a specific folder, regardless of your working folder. Although, to tell you the truth, the concept of a working folder is not really necessary in the typical Lightroom workflow (no reason you can't have a working folder, but many people don't have one). In fact, I think a better idea is to use smart collections to indicate where in the workflow, a photo in particular is.

When you import, you have many options of renaming, even if I'm confused, you're going to end up with photos folder archived with one name and photo to work with a different name? Wouldn't be better to keep the names even if you need to replace the photo with a photo work of archive, you know what picture it is.

The idea of a workflow based on records was a good idea before you had Lightroom, but now you have Lightroom, a file-based workflow seems to be ineffective, and many people use the records to indicate the location in the things of workflow. This makes for a much more efficient workflow for many people, where you're not constantly moving photos from one folder to another. (You need the files as storage location, but not as part of your workflow. My photos go in folders by date of capture and they never move, and I never look in folders.)

In any case, I have noted as a last number that folder to archive and the working folder are not necessarily backups... they must be on a different physical disk if you intend to use them as backups. And also (must!) save your catalog on a different physical disk file.

  • I copied the folder iPhoto to my 'images' on an external drive and all photos disappeared both external drive and the iPhoto library. Do you know where they are?

    Hello! I have a big problem!

    I copied the folder "Images" that is default in my Mac on an external drive.

    Inside the 'Images' folder, there is the iPhoto folder.

    When I reopened iPhoto, all photos disappeared from the iPhoto library and the external drive. I left alone with very little, very old photos.

    Do you know where my pictures maybe? Photos in iPhoto has also lost all the flags...

    Thank you in advance for the answer...

    What software (name and version) are you using? What format is the EHD? How is it connected? What exactly did you do step by step

    Bottom line is that correctly copy a package does not remove anything so you did something wrong and we need to know exactly what you have and what you have done to help

  • How can I copy the folder my documents in my iCloud drive and then I sync the two after that?

    How can I copy the folder my documents in my iCloud drive and then I sync the two after that?

    You can simply drag in iCloud reader, but I pass and move documents in their files app instead. It will probably take a while to download all documents.

    It is not a way to sync without some third party software that synchronizes folders, or learn how to use rsync in the Terminal.

    Instead of synchronization, simply use the iCloud drive in the 'Documents' folder after you move the files.

  • Copy the folder to update a x 220 to another system

    Hello

    I have a lot of x 220 machines I need to update using ThinkVantage System Update. I was told that I can download all of the updates in the system on a single machine update folder and then copy this file to other machines. Then when they perform the system update, they will not have to re - download all updates and will automatically detect the existing files in the folder.

    Is this really possible? I tried to copy the folder on the new machine Mode without failure, but when I reboot and run the system update, he always tries to download all updates, even if they are already in the folder.

    Thank you very much

    Jon

    UPDATE *.

    I noticed that when I selected all recommended updates and all the optional updates, it took a while to download the files (my initial reason for the post), but when I chose only the optional updates, he flew in the download section.

    I don't know why he cannot make reference to the local copy of the files for the recommended updates, but this seems to be the way to do it (copy the folder of the Session, then install optional updates and then let the recommended updates are descended from the internet as usual).

  • How to copy the folder structure in the WCC in another environment?

    Hi all

    I want to know, WCC has it a function to import or export the folder structure? Is it because I have several environments requiring installation with the same configuration and the structure of folders. It is quite time consuming at the same configuration of installation several times. It'll be great if I can copy and paste the setting in other rooms. WCC has this kind of function? If need can someone help to share the steps detailed here.

    Appreciate your help.

    Hello

    Are you looking for Folders_g or FF?

    If it is old, then you can go to Administration - file management - select - export the folder structure.

    It will create and download a file HDA.

    On the folder target, in the same menu as above - the import folder structure and which will create the folder hierarchy, as it is.

    If it FF, then archive - Select export options - Tables only - choose a table FolderFolders and Foldersmeta - export it.

    Use it to import from the target server.

  • copy the folder between virtual centres

    What is the fastest way to copy a folder of models one vcenter to another vm?

    I think the best way would be to export to the FVO and import it into the new VCenter or use SCP from host to host.  If it's a different cluster/datacenter in the VCenter even, you can rotate upward and then reset the network label.

    Here is an article on the copy between hosts ESXi (which wouldn't matter at this point on VCenters):

  • is it possible to copy the folder resources as they are referenced...?

    I wonder if it is possible to reference images that are not in a record central in my site and this, make a copy that IS stored in a central location. So when you place an image of disparate places on a server or a reader, one double with a relative url is used instead of "the original" - is it possible?

    Yes of course. I regularly keep images in a folder 'work' that is 'off site', or not in my root folder, so I have originals, png and ongoing work, etc., without cluttering up my site.

    When I insert an image on a page, I can browse the 'work' folder and insert the image normally. Dreamweaver reminds me that the image is not in the site folder and asks me if I want to copy here. Of course, I agree and gives me the chance to open the 'images' folder (or any folder I want) on the site to save the copy in.

    The thing is that I have NEVER 'images in disparate places' on the server. My pictures are still in the folder root of your site. My site as a whole will be published in my root folder.

    Never say never. The only way you can move saw the images in the root folder is to insert using a http:// URL, what you can do on the dialog box "Select the Source Image".

    I still believe that it is preferable to hold all of your site and images files in the root folder, if you can. Relying on images 'remote' other means of servers based on the stability of things outside your site.

  • If I copy the folder "LCD", Tomcat will start with socket errors

    In the documentation , it is said that when you create a new application server side, you can start by copy folder "webapps/lcds. I did, but then, Tomcat starts with a few socket errors:

    [LCD] SocketServer 'my-rtmp-SocketServer' could not validate settings desired for BindSocketAddress socket: 0.0.0.0:2038

    java.net.SocketException: unrecognized Windows Sockets error: 0: JVM_Bind

    [LCD] SocketServer 'my-rtmp-SocketServer' could start.

    flex.messaging.LocalizedException: SocketServer 'my-rtmp-SocketServer' cannot bind to accept client connections on port '2038' because another process has already bound to the port. Please ensure that several points of endpoint applications are not configured to use this same port.

    I'm doing something wrong?

    Thank you

    Borek

    What is happening is that you have found a port conflict for the based on the socket NIO and RTMP endpoint points used in the channel definitions in services-config file. XML of your new web application. The problem is that you have end points related to the port in the network of LCD screens and your new web application.

    You can deal with it in two ways:

    Option 1: In the file services - config.xml, look for "RTMP" and "IAN" to find the definitions of strings and to change the port numbers for something slightly different from those used in the LCDs web app.

    2 options: Move the LCDS web application out of the image so it does not get loaded and just use a template for the future web apps. If you do not use it for all your development, there is really no reason that you must load.

    I'll add a note about this to the documentation which speaks of the LCDS web application using as a model.

  • How to copy the folder/directory structure without copying the content?

    I need to copy a LOT of files, but I want all the files come with them, just the names and structure of records.  I'm not the most technologically savvy so I don't even know where to start, or what program to use, so what codes use after that.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated as I need to achieve this as soon as possible.

    Thank you!

    I think this fits better to the OSX technologies section. I asked to be moved. You need to a bash or Applescript script.

  • I need to recover my favorites from another laptop which is unbootable Windows. I managed to copy the folder of this portable Firefox profile - how do I import bookmarks now to a new laptop?

    I tried to replace the contents of the old profile folder to the new folder and I also tried to simply replace the urlclassifier3.sqlite file, but that does not work either.

    Googling didn't help me in the last 24 hours, but surely there must be a way to do it-right?

    Thank you very much
    Anthony

    Yes, there is a way to restore your bookmarks from your old laptop to the new. Note that profiles just replace the contents of the old folder will not work because your profiles.ini file contains a different profile name.

    How to restore your bookmarks, please read this article: safeguarding your information.

  • Can we copy the folder and the name of the data file from Windows Explorer and paste as text in Word or Excel?

    I have two records with a similar file; some of them are duplicates, and some may have the same name, but contain different data.

    I would like to compare files from both folders by name and size of the file.  In this way, I could say if I duplicate files, or files with the same name with different data.

    I would copy and paste this information (as text or values) in Word or Excel.  Any way to do it?  Any other suggestions re: comparing these files?

    Just take the b out of my order and you will get info from size.

  • How can I import Firefox bookmarks, now stored in the folder of the user on the same PC (new), in Firefox?

    How can I import Firefox bookmarks, now stored in the folder of the user on the same PC (new), in Firefox? I exported my old PC Firefox bookmarks in a folder [Windows 8] on my new PC.
    When I use the ease of importing from Firefox, it will only import a bookmark at a time - and then it inserts the bookmarks all the main pages on the site marked with a bookmark, not just the one I initially put bookmark. Also, it does not matter the information stored in the bookmark tag.

    Sure thing.

    2. Type of %appdata% in the immediate window and press ok
    3. Open the Mozilla folder
    4. Open the folder of Firefox
    5. Open the profiles folder
    6. Copy the folder that is located in this folder on a USB
