Hi Mgmthompson,

I'm sorry to say that, but isn't by design. You must move the photos manually to the desired location.

  • LR 4 and 4.1 can't create new folder manually when importing photos

    Windows 64, i7, 12 GB of RAM

    I don't seem able to create a new folder manually when importing photos.  It still works fine on the same PC with LR3.6.  Anyone else seeing this?  Thank you.

    nonewfolder.jpg

    Yes, I'm on Win7. I can get the result that you specify.  I right click on the folder name in LR and then choose "Create a new folder."  This shows the dialog box windows.  If I then right-click in the right pane and select new > folder, I get a new folder empty in the right pane and can type the name, then select this folder.  If, instead of click with the right button in the right pane, I try to type the name of the new folder in the bottom of the dialog box where it says "file:" then I get this error message. That's what I mean by saying that the process has changed slightly in the LR4.

  • Date wrong on the folder created when importing picture

    Sometimes (at least 2 times) when I take pictures near the end, butween on 10-23:00 they are created in a folder with the date for the next day.

    Last time this happened, it was yesterday (2013-06-05). Almost all of the photos was automaticlly in the folder for 2013-06-05 for importation but 10 photos taken between 22:07-22:43 has been put into the folder, 2013-06-06.

    I'm using Lightroom 4.4 Swedish version.

    Is date/time-properties in Lightroom which is false (not Swedish time) or what it can be?

    Respect,

    / Martin

    There is an old bug in Lightroom that manifests when you import from a camera mount direct (i.e. import via card reader is not a problem). The bug causes essentially time GMT/UTC offset to be added to the capture date/time when you work on the date for the file to import. Note that the capture of files image date/time is NOT affected, it is only the date of the record.

    So in your case, I assumed that your computer time zone is GMT/UTC + 2, which means pictures taken after 22 hours would be placed in a folder with the date of the next day as the miscalculation took time after midnight, so the next today's date.

    Once you understand the nature of the bug, it's pretty easy to move the images poorly located in the correct folder... or better yet, use a card reader (which I think is safer anyway).

  • Can I stop LR CC to create a subfolder of 2015, whenever I have upload photos to an existing folder?

    Whenever I have upload photos to an already existing folder, LR CC creates a new subfolder, tagged with the date of the download.  I don't want all of these subfolders.  I was select all photos, placing parent and then 'remove' subfolder in the folder.  What a nuisance.

    There is probably a way to avoid this.  I have looked but have not found, however.

    Can someone, please?  Thank you.

    (I run the last update of LR CC on Win 7)

    Gail

    This option is unchecked, but I just changed the "arrange by".

    below the option of "in a folder.  Never seen that before, but that

    probably should do.  Once again, thank you.

  • Photos will not recognize photos when uploading to a website (Wordpress, FB, etc..)

    After that the updated Photos to level, I can no longer Upload Photos on my Wordpress site.

    I click on "select files".  This brings me to a Finder window.  In the left sidebar, the "Photos" application is available and in the section "media".  When I click on the Photos, it brings up the window of the Photo Finder, but out of the 7 k + photos on my computer, it shows only 19 photos.  No mas, no less.  He can't access all the other photos, and each drop-down list only displays those same 19 photos.

    My only job is about to copy each individual photo on my desktop and access it from there.  It is tedious and unsustainable for something that worked perfectly before the 'upgrade' to 'Photos '.

  • What happens when the photo of system library is on an external drive and then the system creates a library of Photos? How do merge you them?

    What happens when the photo of system library is on an external drive and then the system creates a library of Photos? How do merge you them?

    Your library system can be on an external drive, if the drive is Mac OS extended (journaled) format and mounted on-site.

    But you must be careful, your external drive is always connected and available before the Photos and to import new photos.

    If Photos opens a different library, news, you can switch to the library on your external drive by double clicking on an external library. You can have several libraries, no problem.

    But pictures don't have any tools to merge libraries. You can switch between libraries, then open them alternately.  To merge two libraries export the photos of the smallest library and import the photos exported in the largest library.

    Or use third-party "PowerPhotos" to move photos between libraries.  But the merger is not supported in the free trial version. You must purchase the full version. You can download it here: Fat Cat Software

  • Using pictures of Yosemite 1.0.1 I created a 400 photo album. I custom sort them. When I copy a USB to share with friends my custom sort is lost. Is it possible to maintain the current order of photo on a USB?

    Using pictures of Yosemite 1.0.1 I created a 400 photo album. I custom sort them. When I copy a USB to share with friends my custom sort is lost. Is it possible to maintain the current order of photo on a USB?

    Of course, not as the sorting, the viewer sees is defined by them not by you - given the same USB you can use the finder to display in alphabetical order, last updated order etc. size - files have no command - the viewer defines the order

    You can select Photos and export using a file for sequential access to export name so if the Viewer uses an alpha sort they correspond to your order desired - you can facilitate this, but they must define their queue viewer correctly for them to see it as you wish

  • My computer suddenly turns power off when I'm uploading photos. Why?

    When I upload photos on Facebook my computer suddenly switches off. What could be the cause of this?

    "Nelson Riñón job" wrote in message News: * e-mail address is removed from the privacy * .com...

    My pc turns off suddenly when I'm uploading photos in Facebook. Why?

    Overheating, driver problems, and many others.  What are your having seen or heard before shutdown? It happens at any other time? Look in Event Viewer to see if you can see any represented pattern that would cause the stop.  Is this a full power off shutdown or a blocking of the screen or the BSOD?  Describe please.

    I suggest that you do the following.
    Step 1:
    Try to rename the file and check.
    Step 2:
     
    Move the current location photo files and check.
    Step 3:
     
    Alternatively, you can try System Restore to a point that it functioned very well.

    Try to use Unlocker to:http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Miscellaneous/Unlocker.shtml this programs often works when the normal functions of remove Vista not work correctly.

    If this does not work, you need to change the permissions and ownership on the file in order to have all the rights and the property (even on the inherited rights).  Then try Unlocker.  Here's the information to help you do.

    To view your permissions, right-click on the file/folder, click Properties, and check the Security tab.  Check the permissions you have by clicking on your user name (or group of users).  Here are the types of permissions, you may have:http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-are-permissions.  You must be an administrator or owner to change the permissions (and sometimes, being an administrator or even an owner is not sufficient - there are ways to block access (even if a smart administrator knows these ways and can move them - but usually should not because they did not have access, usually for a very good reason).)  Here's how to change the permissions of folder under Vista:http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-vista/set-file-folder-permissions-vista/. To add take and the issuance of right of permissions and ownership in the right click menu (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article:http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/05/21/take-and-grant-full-control-permissions-and-ownership-in-windows-7-or-vista-right-click-menu/.

    To solve this problem with folders, folders takeownership or the reader (as an administrator) and give you all the rights.  Right-click on the folder/drive, click Properties, click the Security tab and click on advanced and then click the owner tab.  Click on edit, and then click the name of the person you want to give to the property (you may need to add if it is not there--or maybe yourself). If you want that it applies to subfolders and files in this folder/drive, then check the box to replace the owner of subcontainers and objects, and click OK.  Back and now there is a new owner for files and folders/player who can change the required permissions.  Here is more information on the ownership of a file or a folder:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html. To add take ownership in the menu of the right click (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article:http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/.

  • Very new to Apple products. Updated to El Captain & now I can't upload photos anywhere. Please kindly help me.

    Hello Apple & Apple community. (Re posted again for better explanation and organization)

    My name is Lisa Marie and I am very new to Apple computers. I'm more familiar with my iPad and iPhone. I recently got a week my first MacBook Pro. I had the version of highest level 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retna display. That being said that I am assuming that I have all the latest versions of the software. As I said I am very new to computers Apple MacBook and I know not at all what so ever. I know even where to start looking for information on my MacBook Pro. I really hope some of you can help me given the lack of information I had again to all this. Please please bare with me and be patient with me.

    With the above being said, I am much need help. When I got my computer about a week ago I was able to upload photos with a problem at all. Then, I got a notification of updated OX El Captain so I did it because the person who helped me at the Apple Store when I got my MacBook Pro says it is very important to update every time Apple launches an update to keep my MacBook Pro to the level of performance higher. When I upgraded to the captain El OX and connected to my social media accounts I tried to download my photos that are stored in my MacBook Pro Photo Album by clicking the button Upload Photos/Media provided on my social media accounts. When I did the box popped up which is usually done in order to select your media you upload. Usually when the box pops up you can see the Photo Album in the main column to the left. But this time after that the upgrade of BŒUF El Captain when the box to jump to the top of the Photo Album wasn't even show or left in the main column. Here are some screenshots of my problem. I thought I would include screenshots to better explain my problem to the community. I hope this helps.

    These are all methods I tried to upload my pictures on my social media accounts of my Photo Album here on my MacBook Pro...

    These screenshots are all my downloads on my MacBook Pro folder, because the Photo Albums have been taken and removed from the left column by the upgrade of BŒUF El captain to ever so: no access to upload photos to all that.

    Try one... As you can see in the screenshot below the library is completely eliminated, in the left sidebar in the main column. In the old version before the upgrade of the captain El OX he had three options between devices and the section of Tags in the sidebar on the left. One of these options has been Photo Albums and you can easily access your photos from there. In addition I tried to click on Photo Album library icon in the main screen and it still would not bring my photos at all what so ever. Tried a million times.

    Try two... Then, I tried this method. As you still see nothing and I even clicked on the folder images as shown below and it still wouldn't let me transfer my photos at all.

    I really hope that these catches have helped explain what my problem is with uploading my photos on screen social media accounts. I hope some of you can help me. I really need to be able to download the photos I am a photographer and its my business and the only source of income. I need to show my work to my customers and if I can't show my work to my clients on my Facebook page so I can't get to work and my business will suffer. If anyone can help me I would be extremely grateful and thankful.

    Thank you so much... Lisa MP
