Deduplication of unwanted files

Recently, I imported several folders (and subfolders) in LR.  I organize my photos by year and month (and then sometimes during the month).

So, for the 2015 folder, I currently have a subfolder, tagged 1.15

On my hard drive (IE in windows Explorer), there are no files in the folder labeled 2015 unless they are also 1.15; so as you can see in the screenshot below, everything that appears in 2015 is 01.15 folder without and separate photo files

But once imported into LR, all files of 2.15 photos appear twice: once in 2.15 and in 2015; as you can see in the snapshot, the photos are present in the folder of 2015.

This is a problem because the subfolder help me to organize and separate files; more importantly when I create several subfolders in the folder of the month.

How can I avoid this and the format of the mirror window File Explorer?  I know these aren't really a copy of the files and they are simply indexed in LR, but this isn't always ideal.

Lightroom is showing the total number of photos in the parent folder and all its subfolders.

If you do not want to see the countdown for parent folders, and then right-click on the sign more in the right side of the files Panel and uncheck the option "show pictures in subfolders.

So, if you don't have all the photos in the folder "2015", it will just show a zero and show count of 144 for the folder "1.15 '.

For example: 'show pictures in subfolders' is activated/checked:

With unmarked:

However when reduce you the 2015 folder in the folder view, it will just show a count of zero

Personally, I find the opportunity to have photos of the less complicated number of records show

There is no pictures in the folder of the Nature, but its subfolders have 573 photos. Also note the change to the County for the record of birds (only 37 in this folder, and the rest are in the sub folders)

  • Windows fill my drive with unwanted files

    For some time, Windows had filled my backup disk free Agent with unwanted files. 26 files - 7 are unwanted with names such as 20ade068cc166aebf2. Despite everything I do, I can't erase those files even if I change the attributes or run cleaning tools...

    Some have dozens of folders with 4 digits, while others have Windows service pack setup programs. Two of them have locked the reported amd64 and i386 folders. I see no reason why they should be cluttering this removable drive - or why they should multiply.

    Can someone tell what they are, what causes them and how to get rid of them?

    The man was of Indian origin saying his name was Mike Davies of Microsoft in Oxfordshire and our computer had generated error reports that slowed.

    He wanted me to RUN a file named prefetch unwanted files, I was a little dubious and told him that I had to pay for my computer and it is supposed to be remembered!

    Do not change your mind. It was certainly a crook.

  • How to remove unwanted files from the local root folder of the site?

    Hello

    I work with Dreamweaver CS4 on a Windows PC. I have finished my site but I have a lot of files in my local root folder that I don't want to upload to the server. These unwanted files are for most of the photos that I should not be used in my site. I do not understand how to download the site on the server using ftp and remote folder in Dreamweaver. I suppose that if I move the page html files to the remote folder that my photos will not be associated with these html files automatically. I used a Dreamweaver template during the construction of the site. I wish I had a folder with only the necessary files for the site (all html pages and a folder of images) to upload to the server. Is there an easy way to move all my pages and images associated with a folder or remove all unwanted files in the local root folder? As I see it now, I'll have to go through all my pages and write down each title of the photo and then go back and delete each unwanted file. This seems a lot of your time, so I thought that there must be an easier way, I hope.

    Any help or ideas will be of course very appreciated, thanks, dluthier

    I guess you mean 'work' files, not the images that you use in your Web site.

    If they are not related to all pages of your site, you are free to move by using your computer's file management tools. I can give you specific instructions, if you wish, but the short of it is that you do not keep them in the folder root of your site at all.

    In my way of working, I have a folder for each client that includes:

    • The correspondence of this client folder
    • Folder to 'Work'... the PNG images, etc., or of the images from the client
    • Record the site root

    When I get e-mail, I save the message in the appropriate folder of correspondence, I save the images etc in the folder of 'Work' to the customer and I only save images and other who have already been optimized in the Site folder, keep it as intact as possible.

    Even if the general warning must always use the files Panel to move files around, that applies to files which are linked and form part of the structure of your Site. Moving your files 'work' outside of the structure can be carried out safely in windows explore your PC.

    That said, if you need to download and there are files you want to download, or to move, you can 'hide' the in the files Panel by right-clicking on the file name and choosing 'Cloaking '.... "in the context menu that appears.

    To the point that the image files that are downloaded to the remote site will not 'automatically' be associated with your html files. That is right. Unless you have configured explicitly links or associations between files, images will not associate themselves!

    On the subject of 'automatic' way to do this, you can make a link to check on all of your local site. Window > results > Link Checker will bring up the appropriate window, which will give you the choice: broken links, external links and orphan files (this is the one you want). Use the green triangle tower at the left end of the Link Checker to set your auditor... Current Local Document or a set current site.

    If you want to make a checklist to ensure that you move them all, you can save the report by clicking on the small icon "Floppy" under the Green turn the triangle. Who will be on a file text and make up a dialog that you save the report, which will show the broken links, external links and orphaned files. After you move the files to your heart's content, rerun the link check and confirm that you moved the files you want to move. Make sure that you DON'T move files consciously... do not move the .htaccess files or .cgi files, etc.

    Who will save you from actually having to 'write' file names!

    Hold down the CTRL key while you only click on the files you want to delete to highlight and press DELETE.
     
    Tip: Try not to make them all at once. Do 20 or if at a time in the case where they become not highlighted so that you don't have to start over.
     
  • Adaptation of unwanted files

    When I use the function Ctrl to select several images in a file, the OS begins to make copies of these files and put in the same folder.  It is a pain when you try to select a number of files to download for online photo developers.  Can I stop this function?

    Hi stidhop,

    If you try to hold CTRL and drag the images to stick, there are chances that it may create multiple copies.

    You can try to release the control button to copy everything by moving the images to stick.

    Hope this information is useful.
