From LR6.1 to LR6.3: rename folders created are based on the date of importation rather than the date of shooting!

I started using LR with version 2... My import workflow was even up to 6.1 and all my files are organized in the same way for more than 10 years.

I went on LR6.2 given the changes made in the import dialog. But upgraded to LR6.3 think the problem has been resolved.

But now I noticed that all my photos are renamed and placed in folders corresponding to the date of importation rather than the date of shooting... I rename my files from custom and is gone in this dialogue, but has not as how to restore LR import my photos using the date of shooting. This creates havoc on my hard drives and in LR. I use the date of shooting a lot to find my photos, since I often neglect to add keywords.

I really need to be able to get the date of shooting on the behalf of my photos and have copied them in the folder the correct date.

Thanks in advance for your help.

BTW: something has changed in the way the forum appears. Research is not very powerful... it has not brought something, yet I know that the import dialog has been at length when 6.2 was introduced. In addition, I see no browser passed a few more recent messages. I don't like the new interface.

Well, I answered my own question. Yes, I was looking for settings in the destination Panel... There is a line that shows what would change the name... and it showed the date of importation as the new name... but actually... It was only to show you what the name change would look like. Because I had a selected image, I thought it would show that the change of name for this image. But it is not related to the image... The import worked as expected... My apologies for disturbing him. .

    Assuming that it is an email account POP3, go to the message store and see if the messages are really there.  They must be located under the directories for the folder names under the main directory of local folders in the message store.  The store is located under the Users\ [username] \AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Mail\ directory and is hidden, so first go to control panel | Folder options | View and uncheck Hide extensions of known file types (so you can distinguish the eml files which are messages) and check the option to show the hidden files and folders.  Then you can see if the messages are in fact always there or missing.  See here for background: www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#wm and also here for what may have caused it: www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3 as Bruce stated, if the messages are still on the server, you can set up your account again and then download them again.

    I just upgraded from the LR5 LR6 on my Macbook Air to OS 10.9.5. LR5 photos 38K, especially on an SSD connected with 2 years on an internal hard drive, gave a 48 GB LR5 catalog. Starting LR6, I decided to import all the photos of 38K stored on my SSD to form the LR6 catalog, but it is now 108 GB. Is he aware would be so much bigger than LR5 LR6 catalog? Should I redo, selecting the LR5 catalog to import to the LR6?

    I don't pretend to re-do an import, I do not import or re - import at all.

    You can delete the catalog Lightroom 6 and his insights that you created. You want to have the Lightroom 6 to upgrade the 5 Lightroom catalog file. Use the file-> open catalog and point to the 5 Lightroom catalog file. Once it is successful, you can also delete or archive the 5 Lightroom Catalog and delete its previews. As a piece of advice, never re - import photos. NEVER, as in... do not, do not, don't go anywhere near it.

    Regarding the size of the preview, you can control this in Lightroom under the catalog tab file management settings.

  • Right click mouse to drag and drop or rename folders and files does not work

    For a few weeks now, I had problems with the right click function to drag - move files and folders, or rename files and folders. This happens when I use windows Explorer or access to the computer and click thruogh for a feature. He can't go to all the folders and files, but many. I can't right click on these folders or files to change the sharing because explore closes and restarts on the desktop with a right-click. Manifest error "appcrash" reason. I have Norton Security suite installed and neither Norton or your fix program detects a problem.

    Please notify.

    Have you installed or removed/uninstalled all hardware or software or drivers since just before the start of this problem (if so, exactly what - name, version, device, whatever)?  Norton take any infection, although it is said that he cleaned their since just before the problem started?  If so, you know the names of these infections?

    Do you know when this problem started?  Try a system restore to a point in time BEFORE the problem started.  Here is the procedure: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-system-restore/.  Don't forget to check the box to show more than 5 days of restore points.  If the first attempt fails, then try an earlier point or two.  NOTE: You will need to re - install any software and updates that you have installed between now and the restore point, but you can use Windows Update for updates.  It's been a while so I'm not sure that you have a fairly old restore point but it is possible - hopefully.

    Are these files and folders in your user profile?  If Yes, your user profile may become corrupted (in fact, if can still be corrupted if the folders are not there).  To fix this use http://windows.microsoft.com/en-AU/windows-vista/Fix-a-corrupted-user-profile.  If that is the only available Administrator Profile (you need to be an administrator to fix this), enable the Hidden Administrator Account (HAA) using http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?&lang=en&cr=US&guid=&sloc=en-us&dg=microsoft.public.windows.vista.administration_accounts_passwords&p=1&tid=d20f9db4-7b2c-48be-a087-7835dc2a9055&mid=d20f9db4-7b2c-48be-a087-7835dc2a9055.  If you don't remember the password, try nothing because that's probably what you (or seller) did during the installation.  Once that is done, don't forget to disable the HAA to save it in case it is necessary once again and for safety reasons (since people often try to hack into systems using this account).  Do NOT use the HAA as your administrator account because if you lose the only administrator on the system account or it is damaged again, then you're watered.

    We will check some of your system files and hard drive for ccorruption that may be the cause:

    Go to start / all programs / accessories / command prompt and right click on command prompt, and then click Run as administrator.

    Type sfc/scannow, go and let it run.  It will scan and try to correct some of your system files.  If all goes well he comes complete with no corruption, it could not repair (if it has these post of corruption here or try to analyze it to find the problem or files using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928228.  Try to put all the corrupt files here so that we can see if they can be repaired with good copies of the installation disc (unless there are too many).

    While in the command prompt, type chkdsk /f /r and enter and let it run.  She might want to plan itself to start at the next startup.  Okay, then restart so that the program can run. It will scan and attempt to resolve any corruption or bad sectors on your hard drive and remove especially as a potential cause.

    Please checkwith the manufacturer to find out if there is a mouse driver updated (software or firmware) available for your make and model of mouse and your version of Vista.  Download and install to update the driver to the most recent available and see if that solves the drag and drop problem (even though I know that this will not affect the question of the name change).  Once you have the drivers, you can install them via the Manager device as follows: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-device-manager-install-driver.html.

    If it doesn't (or if SFC detects corruption it cannot repair), we you will need to do a repair/system upgrade using the Windows Vista Installation disc authentic (you own or that you can borrow from someone).  Here is the procedure: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/88236-repair-install-vista.html.  Although this will not affect your data, settings or programs, you should always back up your data before you start just be on the safe side. You can have a lot of updates to re - install (including all you need to remove service packs).  If the version of the system came with SP1 or SP2 preinstalled and the disc is an earlier version, then you will need to make a record of slipstream as follows: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/151606-vista-sp1-slipstream-installation-dvd.html.

  • Impossible to rename folders: restores the original name

    Original title: file rename rename my computer won't let me not rename folders. Can I rename the files, but not files. I click with the right button on the folder, click on "Rename", enter a new name, press the "enter" button, but nothing happens. The record is just instantly is the old name. What's most frustrating is that this problem only occurs on the profile of the administrator, not the standard user profiles. How can this be repaired?

    Create another admin account > this new admin login > try to rename a folder.
    If you are able to rename a folder in the new admin account, your old admin account is corrupted.

  • How to rename folders on a regular basis?

    iMac 4K 32 GB running LR CC by subscription.  Latest version of El Capitan.

    I have a hodgepodge of folder names. I've created a unique record for each session in the Finder, but then started allowing LR to create records. Now, my folder name system is all messed up. Problem is I can't rename them by LR.

    All my images are in an external drive in a folder named NIKON. Lightroom Import creates a new subfolder in the folder that I nominated for entry. This subfolder is the year, and then it creates a subfolder to the one with the date as 2015-11-07

    Records are displayed in LR as in this example: 2015-Nikon/OklahomaCentennialBotanicalGarden the name and the path of the folder in the Finder is Nikon > OklahomaCentennialBotanicalGarden > 2015

    This garden has been renamed in TulsaBotanicGarden. I need to rename the folder.  When I right click on this folder in LR named 2015-Nikon/OklahomaCentennialBotanicalGarden, the input renaming area has only '2015' in it. I tried to type the full name like this: 2015 - Nikon/TulsaBotanicGarden.  Now, it appears in the Organizer folder as TulsaBotanicGarden and there is no '2015' in front of him, so it appears at the bottom of my list, rather than with the other shoots of 2015. The attached picture shows the two ways records are listed in the menu Organizer LR. My choice was on the "2015 - NIKON/family" folder and you can see what the area looks like rename the folder when I right click this folder.Screen Shot 2015-11-07 at 5.53.32 PM.jpg

    Rename files in LR is somewhere between confusion and irrational. Otherwise, I am an experienced user of LR since V1. Is there a control that displays the folder hierarchy in LR as well as in the Finder?

    Thank you.

    Problem is I can't rename them by LR.

    I'm curious to know why, as you are!

    In my LR Folders pane, I simply right-click on a folder, choose 'Rename', type the new folder name as I want.

    Control Panel folder in Lightroom shows records as they exist in the Finder.

    Control Panel folder in Lightroom displays only records that contain images that you have "imported".

    The name that you have a folder in Lightroom is the same as the name of the folder in the Finder.

    Moving folders in the Control Panel folder Lightroom moves also in the Finder. (But never move or rename in Finder!)

    The 'Collections' Panel has no relation to the folder structure whatsoever (unless you maybe create collections to import)

    An example - I want to change the name of the folder 'My photos photographers' to a new name-"PHOTOGRAPHERS".

    So I right click on the folder - and choose "Rename...". »

    Type new name-

    And Lightroom displays the new name - just like the Finder (in my case is Windows Explorer)

    Note the folder 'GROUP' that appears in the file Explorer, but not in Lightroom-it does contain all the images!

    And -.

    If you want to reorganize the structure of your file by moving the files to the appropriate places - do it all in Lightroom. (Slides &)

    And you can also change the format of the files in the Control Panel folder by right click on the [+] sign in the file header-

    When I run this application I get info &... "Photoshop Light Room CC Release 2015.2.1.  Don't see no other record any other folder with "Lightroom in the name of".  What I find interesting is that the PS folder is named "Adobe Photoshop CC 2015".

  • Why my renowned folders do not appear in the library module?

    I attended LR4 of Matt Kozlowski seminar a few months ago. He spoke do not date to organize your folders, but use a meaningful description.

    At the time of IMPORTATION, I so add metadata, keywords and rename the folder to something meaningful. He said the cold records still be found by date.

    Then... on a recent trip to NEW HAMPSHIRE, I've done some work files, imported into LR and renamed the files to import into my repertoire of PHOTOS on my laptop.

    Now that I am I export the House like a catalog, but only the dates and not the names that I gave to IMPORT for the records displayed in the library module.

    DOI now should back up the destination and rename all the files

    I must be missing something.

    I want to transfer all this work on my main computer, but I'll just go back to bad habits by date to name the files.

    Thanks in advance.

    Good Victoria... we get somewhere.

    When I right click on 2012-8-13, he takes me into the IMAGES directory > The DESTINATION NAMED @ IMPORT > and finally 2012-08-13.

    So juggling with the destination to the initial IMPORT Panel/folder creates a folder named you see in the photo library with a subfolder with the images placed in a DATE FOLDER anyway.

    I noticed on my studio computer named folders appear in the module library... it must be the subfolder box that throws me for a looper.

    All of this is a learning curve of APPLE, but I'll never go back to WINDOWS.

    The rule of a fundemental I learned the hard way on using lightroom to manage your images a few months ago is that all changes made to an image file, the folder or directory must take place in lightroom or very bad things can happen. The rest we can glean from any well written Manual of LR. There are several ways to accomplish the same task in lightroom.

    Thanks for your help (s).

  • Copy music and more from iPhone to mac, rather than the reverse?

    Using a PC, I finally have my iPhone music and everything set up exactly like I want. I was hoping synchronization and backup, and everything with my Macbook instead of the PC, but I can't seem to do without erasing my iPhone. My Mac iTunes library is virtually empty, so I was wondering if there was some sort of implement for phone orders is copied on it, and not vice versa.

    A mobile device is designed to allow only limited copying of media from the device to a computer (only iTunes Store purchases).  You need to transfer your library to the Mac, or else he will always want to erase from your phone.

    Page 6 of Apple, exhaustively meticulous instructions step by step: how to move your iTunes library to a new computer - https://support.apple.com/HT204318 it is convenient if you think that all your materials are not in the standard location.

    My resume in a sentence if you use preferences by default iTunes settings: copy the folder integer iTunes (and to ensure that all of its subfolders and files) intact at the other disk, hold down the option/alt key (shift on Windows) keys to start iTunes and on request to select a library select iTunes Library.itl file in the copied folder (open a different iTunes library file or create a new one - https://support.apple.com/HT201596).

    When it comes to a new car/computer put the iTunes folder copied to the default location of Macintosh HD > users > * user name * > music (or home > music) so you don't even have to start with the down option, iTunes will automatically look it there.  (Make sure that it is no anything already in the iTunes folder it that you want to keep because you will replace it with the one you are moving).  Don't forget to authorize computer in iTunes to your Apple ID if you use it to synchronize with Apple devices or play multimedia DRM protected (e.g., movies).

    Some elements used in iTunes related activities are not stored in the iTunes library folder, but in special folders.  If you move a library to another computer, you can copy these too:

    -Music files Apple cache: http://dougscripts.com/itunes/2015/09/new-flush-apple-music-cache-files/ - ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.iTunes/SubscriptionPlayCache/ file, which is a bit like a "iTunes Media" folder for music from Apple

  • I want to drag contacts into folders to organize them rather than color coded categories.

    I want to drag the contacts, while in the address book, in folders to organize them rather than color coded categories. Example, I have a folder called "Active CUSTOMERS" and I want to move to a folder titled "Past CLIENTS".

    Also, I drag messages into folders that works well, but when I try to move all of a folder of messages under a different title, I often put in place the new folder and copy and paste all the messages. It's tedious.

    I can't believe there are not many people in sales who want to put in place their clients in different folders. It would really clean up your address book so you don't always go through thousands of email addresses. I know that I can sort the color-coded categories, but this is slow compared to drag the contact into a folder.

    Please feel free to send me suggestions. My contacts duplicated and screwed up in Windows Live and now I need to sort out about 5 000 contacts - I already managed to get rid of exact duplicates but there will still be a lot of work. [email protected]
