• Help adding an image to PDF with buttonImportIcon

  Hi, hoping someone can help me with what I am pulling my hair out.

  I create a button using the addfield as follows

  var cFileName = "somepathhere/filename.pdf ';

  var oFld = this.addField ("ButtImage", "buton", this.pageNum, [222,417,363,496]);

  If (oFld! = null)

  {

  oFld.buttonPosition = position.iconOnly;

  oFld.borderStyle = border.s;

  oFld.textColor = color.black;

  oFld.lineWidth = 1;

  }

  try {}

  MyImportIcon (this.getField ("ButtImage"), cFileName);

  } catch (e) {}

  Console.println ("error importing Signature Image")

  }

  then I have a separate file js MyImportIcon.js

  var MyImportIcon = app.trustedFunction (function (oFld, cPath)

  {

  app.beginPriv ();

  If (cPath! = null)

  {

  oFld.buttonImportIcon (cPath, 0);

  }

  on the other

  {

  oFld.buttonImportIcon ();

  {

  app.endPriv ();

  });

  When this code all the races I get no error in the console, a button is created in the pdf file but it is empty and no icon is set.

  I am running Acrobat X Standard.

  Thanks in advance for your answers.

  Make sure that you use a path independent of the device for the file.

• How to delete images in the Lightroom catalog that are no longer on my computer!

  Something going on during an acquisition of my images. I think I tried to correct by going to my /workingfiles folder they have been stored and remove them manually. I don't know that I checked to see if I could do it through Lightroom, but maybe I missed the record that they have been implemented. I'm guessing that this is what happened so Lightroom still has a small picture of them somewhere and let me no longer to re - import. Any ideas on what I can do to get out of this mess? Thank you.

  Hi Peter,.

  If some how changed the order sorted, you can go back sorting to 'Added A order' in the toolbar.

  or, choose all the photos and click the view menu and sort to choose the sort order.

• Help! Merge changes in a single catalog LR in a former a folder of images for...

  Hey friends! We you handle a difficult series of photos and moved everything to an external hard drive. Without thinking, I opened and made changes to a picture folder on our main computer and then later on changes in another folder of images in the catalog of external hard drive file.

  I would like to merge everything into one place without losing any changes for our two separate records of more recent images. Is there an easy way to do this?

  Thank you!

  On the external drive, open the LR catalog, select the folder of interest, right-click on the file and choose export this folder as a catalogue...

  On the internal disk, open the Lightroom Catalog, select file-> import from another catalog and select the catalog that you created from the external drive.

• Please help, Lightroom Catalog recovery methods.

  I currently use:

  -Macbook Pro

  -Lightroom 5

  A week ago my Mac operating system crashed. I was able to recover data from my hard drive, including saved the 5 Lightroom catalog files. However, when I try to "import an another catalog" on the file menu of Lightroom, I get an error that says: "Lightroom cannot import of this catalogue the catalogue does not seem to be a valid Lightroom Catalog." The catalog has 346 MB of data, so I know there is data on the .lrcat file, but Lightroom does not allow me to open it. This is also the case when I try to import files from a previous backup .lrcat file that has only 96 MB. I set the admin, user, staff and all the privileges in reading & Wright, but I still cannot access any data in Lightroom. The .lrcat file is the only file in the backup folder. This is the case for each previous backup file and the Lightroom folder in the backup drive (I put these files for read & Wright so privileges).

  Can someone please help me or give advice as to where I can find a service that will help me to get these settings to photo editing? I lost more than 7000 + pictures I need for work (I am a professional photographer).

  Apart from allowing authorizations and re - install an older version of Lightroom, I don't know what else to try.

  If anyone has had this problem before / is there a Lightroom Catalog recovery service who can help me?

  Thank you

  Wade

  

  

  Yes, the same thought as before.

  I don't think there is a way to make this catalog work.

  Furthermore, copies made after a crash are not what I call backups. You need to make regular and automated backups of your files and catalog using the built-in functionality of Lightroom, you also want to check the box that says "Test integrity before Backing Up.

• Urgent help repair 6 Lightroom Catalog "Lightroom encountered problems reading or writing to the disk when you try to repair the catalog»

  My Lightroom Catalog worked perfectly until 2 days ago.

  When I try to open my catalog this error message pop up

  

  And when I try to repair my catalog a green bar progress displays briefly, then this pop up.

  

  I clicked on 'Retry' several times but it still does not work. My catalog is on an external hard drive with 1.46 TB of free space. I use Lightroom 6 on a laptop with Windows 8.

  I tried other things:

  • Looking for a .lock file delete
  • Create a new catalog and import the other catalog in it (when I try to it says "Lightroom cannot import this catalog.) This catalog doesn't seem to be a valid Lightroom Catalog.')

  Help, please! I have not all backups with that I can restore my catalog. I am a student in photography and it would be extremely annoying that I lost all my edits/flags of this catalogue.

  You never solved this problem?

  I am totally confused and aren't sure what to do next.

  You need a new external drive, and you need to STOP using your old.

  There is no real repair a hard drive once it starts to miss. Of course you can repair the file structure, but it's to get the file there. Once a drive starts to go wrong it will never get better or even remain the same.

  Good news.  The problem has been resolved.

  Jim Hess has proposed the following:

  "I don't have a total solution for you. But in the screenshot you provided, the image you are trying to import is already on the hard drive. What happens if you switch from the copy option to add? I was wondering if that could import one image. We must start somewhere, right?"

  Just for info, before I had been using the function 'Copy' or the function "import and convert to DNG.  So I have exactly like Jim suggested and "Added" one image (a NAVE which had been converted to DNG).  By using the function 'Add' not only worked, but now, Lightroom is recognizing the file NAVE of Nikon D810 and import as a champion.  I don't HAVE NO reinstall Lightroom.  Just "Adde" that photo and that seemed to fix everything that was happening.

  I don't know about you, but I suspect there was a problem of association with Lightroom who need to restore a path to the catalog somehow.

  Thank you for all your help.  I sincerely appreciate it!

• Cannot open the 5.3 Lightroom Catalog. Download «...» It is not writable and cannot be opened"message.

  Hello world

  I'm having a problem opening a lightroom catalog. I get a message "Lightroom can't use the catalog because it is not writable and cannot be opened.

  The catalogue and thousands of RAW files are stored on an external drive.

  Here are the steps that caused the problem in my view:

  1 has worked with the catalog on my laptop. Disconnected the disk without closing first Lightroom (big mistake).

  2 connect the external hard drive on desktop PC and did extra work. Closed Ligtroom (office) and disconnected the disk.

  3 reconnect the drive of the laptop while original catalogue is always open (see #1 above). Clicked on an image at which point Lightroom crashed and closed by itself.

  The problem now is that the catalog opens is no longer on computers. Any attempt to open the results in the message "Lightroom can't use the catalog because it is not writable and cannot be opened. There is no lock or log file that can be deleted, just the lrcat file and tons of files with preview of the data.

  I hope this isn't a lost cause and I can still recover the catalog. There are 2 work days.

  Thanks in advance for any help/advice!

  Ok. I found a solution. As Ligthroom catalog is a SQLite database, you can use a database tool to fix it. Just download SQLite www.sqlite.org for your OS (Windows 7 in my case) and unzip into C:\SQLite for ease of use. Copy your catalog corrupted the C:\SQLite file as well as to keep things simple.

  At the command prompt start > run, type 'cmd' and press ENTER. This opens the command prompt where you will need to run the following commands:

  1 cd sqlite

  2. echo .dump | SQLite3 yourcatalogfilename.lrcat > tempcatalog.sql

  3 sqlite3 - init tempcatalog.sql newcatalogfilename.lrcat

  After the execution of line 3, you may or may not see error messages. No worries, it simply truncated faulty records that is what causes the catalog to crash.

  Now, copy the newcatalogfilename.lrcat into your lightroom catalog file and run it. You should be able to get things up and running to where you left, or to the point where original Lightroom Catalog has been corrupted in first place.

  I hope this helps. It took me a few hours to find a solution, but it saved me at least 2 days of work. Original credit goes to the author of the article according to http://www.simplyness.com/more-photography-tips/recover-corrupted-unrepairable-lightroom-3 - catalog - with - sqlite.html. It seemed to have worked for Lightroom 3 and still worked for Lightroom 5.3 in my case.

• I'm almost happy!  My old Lightroom catalog was recovered!

  I used Lightroom 3 on a Vista computer for a long time.  Saved all my images, external hard drives, but have not saved my catalog. Computer Vista died last year where the Lightroom catalog was stored. I was told it would be a lot of money to fix the computer so I bought a new 10 Windows instead.

  3.6 Lightroom loaded on the new computer, my imported images from hard drives external and is returned to work, edit and import new photos, so start a new catalog.

  My old computer has recently been brought back to life!  I copied the old computer lrcat file and pasted into the folder on my new computer where the lrcat.  I opened Lightroom, choose "Import Catalog", selected the 'old' catalogue, which then opened a dialog box requiring some choices to make.

  Please help me with the choices.

  News Photos, file management: 1 Add new photos to catalog without moving or 2. Don't upload new photos.  I think that the import is correct.

  Change the existing Photos, replace: 1. the metadata and develop settings only or 2. Metadata, develop settings, and negative files.  I'm confused on the negative files and the correct choice.

  Thank you for your attention, very grateful for your help.

  You do not want to import the catalog file, you want to use the file-> open catalog command.

• How to fix my Lightroom catalogs so that I can find all my photos?

  Hello, before you start, yes I know I made some big mistakes over the years to implement lightroom catalogs and it became a disaster.

  First of all, I have about catalogues en and seen the lack of pictures in most.  Even though I know the photo is I can see them on a photo after an exhaustive search.  I try and have lightroom locate in finder, but does not work in 99% of the time. Probably cause it has been moved or changed the name.  Photo of thew can also be in several catalogs, don't ask me why and how, because somehow the name changed, I have a big mess.

  The pictures are spread over three discs in my imac and two drives connected to my IMac, which, according to me, the easiest way is to take all my photos and load them on a Lightroom Catalog and load them among the readers, so that everything is new.       But how to do this, I'm not sure.  I think that I create a new catalog and that import each photo from the disk, or maybe that I can do it by folder or maybe there's a faster way? This will change the name of the pictures and do all the other obsolete catalogs.

  Maybe there is an easier way, HELP!  OTHER SOLUTIONS.  I HAVE ABOUT 20 000 PICTURES

  THANKS DAVE

  I have

  Yes, it looks that you want to start, it's probably the best thing to do at this point... but... it is likely that you will lose changes and metadata that you have added to the photos. (The alternative is to solve problems, but it seems difficult and time-consuming account bound to the description above, but certainly possible).

  It also seems that you want to change your workflow. I highly recommend a workflow where the photos are never moved after importation (EXCEPTION: If you move photos to a new computer or a new hard disk, you must move them). And you must do this "cold turkey", never, not even once, you will pass the photos (with the only exception I mentioned). I highly recommend a workflow where you use keywords and other metadata to allow you to organize and search; rather than to organize and search through folders.

  To start again... you can move photos anywhere you want what they are using your operating system. (Remember, I said never move them after you import, so moving them before you import are correct). In Lightroom, select file-> new catalogue, give the catalog name in the dialog box that appears, and then import the photos using the Add option to import them from their existing location (or you can use the option COPY and Lightroom can put the photos in a beautiful series skillfully arranged in folders by date of capture). And NEVER move again (don't forget there is one exception), use the keywords and other metadata to organize and find.

  Thereafter, use a catalog only. This will make your life much easier. Do not even consider the use of multiple catalogs (unless you have completely separate and unrelated topic, such as personal and professional photos).

• Lightroom can't use the catalog named 5 because lightroom catalog that it is not writable and cannot be opened

  Help, please!

  I've been struggling for hours to open lightroom. My computer turns off without reason, and then I went back into the light room and had the following startup message:

  Lightroom can't use the lightroom catalog 5 catalog because it is not writable and cannot be opened.

  I tried everything I can. I searched online and you have deleted the files of 'locking' of the catalogue record. I did what is obvious and just rebooted. I checked the 'permissions' and nothing has worked. Help, please. I JUST finished images edited in 1000 and I need to export. I won't cry if I need to change their brand new

  In your OS, the folder that contains your catalog must have read & write permission.

  If you think that you already have, we show a screenshot so that we can see in the Explorer Windows/Mac Finder folder that contains the catalog file; and show us an another screen shot of the permissions on this folder.

  Also, please check the catalog file in your operating system to ensure that it is not set read-only.

• How to remove duplicates in my Lightroom Catalog?

  I have merged an old Lightroom Catalog in my Lightroom hand catalogue and accidentally created duplicate images, thousands of them (sometimnes, geometry), I suppose I must have completed the process before, foregotten and not deleted catalogs I merged after that I've merged them... then go back and redo the process... thus creating duplicates.

  My problem is I want to remove duplicates without losing the edited versions. only those that I have meged in.  The file has a lot of images which is not duplicated, so I can't start the process again?

  You can remove duplicates of Lightroom is removing recognizes them in the grid view.

  However, there are a few Plugins available. Here's a Journal http://www.lightroomfanatic.com/tutorials/advanced/finding-duplicate-images-lightroom-cata /

• I want to copy my lightroom catalog and photos of the hard disk to another.

  I want to copy my lightroom catalog and photos of the hard disk to another. I tried to use the copy and paste, but when I try to open the catalog on my laptop lightrooom cannot find the photos because he is always looking for them on the old hard drive. How can I get lightroom to get on the new drive? When I try to manually connect the photos they disappear just from any folder, they are in Lightroom.

  Hi Mike Nature.

  Greetings.

  As you have already moved the catalog and the files on the hard disk up, visit this link on how to find missing images/files

  • https://helpx.Adobe.com/Lightroom/help/locate-missing-photos.html

  I suggest you look for missing files.

  The images do not disappear, but after the relining, they should be available under the new hard drive.
