How can I merge files and preserve the most recent file?

I keep my work files in a file on two separate computers (2 folders). As I work on every computer at different times, I have a mixture of old and new files.

I want to merge these two files. Before doing so, I want to assure you that Windows 7 keeps the most recent document instead of just replace one file with another, regardless of the date since modified.

Is this something that Windows 7 is done automatically? If not, is there a tool that will help in this process?

When you copy files with the same name in a folder, Explorer will ask you if you want to replace the existing file, skip, or keep and rename the latest files, and it will show you the size and creation date.

  • How can I merge two catalogues, preserving the most recent changed files in each catalog?

    I have a catalog covering the modified and modified files covering a period of time until the end of 2013.  I have an another catalog covering the same period and the most recent files at the present time.  The first changed files that have been made in a way not forward (the files were, but not mods) when I switched to a new machine and subsequently more photos for 2014 adds to the existing batch.  I had never used XMPs to store the mods - my mistake, now corrected for the future.  Is it possible to merge a catalog in another or both in a new catalog and keep the latest mods for all files?  If not, can I export the changed files in a catalog, and then import them in the most recent two catalogues with all the included files?

    I think that I found the definitive answer, in The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom book, the chapter on the merger of two catalogs into one. The trick is to create a new master catalog that starts in white, shoot in the first catalog (does not move the files), then it repeats with the second catalogue, which will search for and avoid the dupes, yet once again move the files.  The end result is a catalog of master handset, with files and all changes for all files in the two catalogues.  It worked for me.  Thank you, you were thinking in the right direction.

    coledang,

    Save a copy, and in the following options choose CS6.

    In this way, it should open correctly in CS6, and the original document is unscathed.

    You may find that some (new CC) features will not survive the downsaving.

    Once an unapproved site is added as an exception, how can I go back and delete the exception later?

    Thank you, Jefferson. You addressed the issue beautifully and delightfully complete.

    I found and deleted the server where I got the exception.

    "In the future, I suggest, by making an Exception, uncheck the box that adds a permanent exception. In this way, when you exit Firefox, the exception is removed automatically. »

    AHA. It's very good to know. I missed it when granting the exception today.

    The exception I gave (and now deleted) today wasn't really a risky site. I know the owner. Just a little problem in their relationship.

    Thanks again. And thanks Toddy... I did not say clearly what type of exception.

    How can I return it and get the right size stock photo that actually works to post 20 x 30

    Hi Debbie,.

    Once that the photos were allowed, they cannot be removed or not allowed.

    Thus, you must make sure that the image you need for your projects. You can also check the size of the images before their approval.

    Hope that answers your question.

  • After WSUS downloaded and installed the most recent Windows XP and 7 updates, we encountered the following error: page of the Intranet Web displayed in Internet Explorer (8 or 9) is on SERVER_A

    After that WSUS installed and downloaded the most recent Windows XP and 7 updates, we encountered the following error:

    The Web page of the Intranet being viewed in Internet Explorer (8 or 9) is on SERVER_A
    and the page contains a link to a file on a network share on the Serveur_B, making the href path something like
    'http://SERVER_B/myShare/myDocument.doc '.
    ... then it does NOT work.

    If the Intranet Web page being read in IE (8 or 9) SERVER_A on
    and the page contains a link to a file on SERVER_A, making the href path something like
    'http://IP..ADDRESS/myDocument.doc '.
    ... then it does not work.

    Before these updates, the system worked flawlessly.  We try to identify the update that caused this problem, but 28 of them fell on a Tuesday.  (22/11/2011).   These questions are the same with IE8 or IE9 and WindowsXP and Windows7.

  • How to set my preferences to open the most recent catalog?

    I am running LR 4.1 with cab 7.1 on a 64-bit Windows 7 OS.

    aboutLR.png

    I set my preferences to open most recent catalog.

    LR prefs.png

    I then open a different catalog and do stuff in the catalog, but when I run LR next time he keeps going back to a different catalog. How can I change the settings so it opens either the most recent catalogue or I am guest for what catalog I want to open (I tried both) and LR can always open the same catalog.

    OK, I get it. But I have no idea why this should be the case. If it really bugs you are trying to replace your preferences file.

    The preferences file may be 'funny' and is then responsible for all types of weird behavior of Lr. It is somewhat a shot in the water. See this link to know how to replace your file preference: http://lightroomers.com/replacing-the-lightroom-preference-file/745/

  • How can I customize trash folder by date, most recent email on top?

    I have just deleted email and tried to recover it but could not find it on the top of the column of Trash as dates and e-mails are all mixed. Previously all deletions are dated from the top down, the most recent on top.

    Usually, sort you items in a list by clicking a column heading. If you click on the column heading even once him reverse you the sorting order in this column. Then try clicking on the date column header once.

    Hello

    I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing. I'll certainly try and help you fix the issue; However, I will need to ask you a few questions.

    1. what version of IE are you using?

    2 do you have of them pack installed?

    3. do you have an antivirus installed on the computer?

    4. do you also deal with any show related to problems with the computer?

    5. are you aware of any changes made to the computer before the show?

    First of all, you can run a full scan using the Microsoft Safety Scanner.

    Note: there is a risk of data loss if all the files are infected and which can be removed in the cleaning process.

    You can then try to launch the FIXIT of the article and see if it helps. Also go through the steps in this article as well and check it out.

    If you try the manual steps, do not forget to back up the registry.

  • How can I merge lines and shapes to create a final version?

    Hello

    I am trying to create an icon star with lines through it. I used the generator star-shaped tool, and the line segment tool, but the lines are not recognized as part of the star shape. For example, when I try to turn the star, the lines remain in the same place. It's pretty much exactly what I'm trying to do, but I can't train segments in a coherent, editable form.

    http://www.davekoelle.com/geometry/geom-star_th.png

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance,

    Keywords

    keywordsarekey,

    Unfortunately I still can't seem to individual segments to fill those I would like to

    You should be able to do with paint live, at least if you give the original Star a filling first.

    Or you can check view > commented, then:

    (1) slide with the line tool outer corner at the inner corner opposite to all divisions (Smart Guides say anchor at each end), as many lines as the star's points.

    (2) select lines and demarcation object > path > divide objects below, this creates paths triangular to give different fills, probably with a few trails of trash in the Center, see 4.

    (3) select each of the triangular paths (you can drag onto the external segment) and set the fill color, you can do this in groups for each color so you have just to tisk filling in the Tollbox box;

    (4) if necessary, select each path that appears in the extended layers palette and remove paths from the Recycle Bin appears in the Center.

  • How to get data hardbounce retrospective of the most recent date?

    I want out of backdata Hard bounce by last date using the API.

    Can someone help me?

    Any suggestion is appreciated.

    Kind regards

    Shashi Kant

    BLOCK has an API "/ activities" endpoint, you can use to define an excerpt. You can programmatically add a filter him every time you kick off your snippet (something like ActivityDate > = and set the current date as the side right of the > = parameter). You can then use the ' /extracts/data "endpoint to extract the data returned by eloqua sync. See the documentation for the API BLOCK to get an idea of a typical eloqua extraction process.
