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.

  • 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 there be two accounts in the same user name

    How can I have two usernames even, that of the Australia and the other in the United States?

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    a. are both connected anyway through the network (for example in a server domain common network, VPN etc.)?

    b. What is a local user account or an Microsoft account?

    Unless the systems in the two countries are connected via a common domain, they are independent and can have accounts of local users with common names. If you talk about Microsoft accounts, then they can be configured two different computers, but the information that is on the server online sync is common to both systems.

  • How can I separate two movies on the same timeline?

    I use the first elements 11 but that you him have not used for quite awhile so I forgot much of what I learned. So here's my question: I have two movies on the same timeline. How can I separate them. In other words, how can I move one on the timeline, so it won't confuse my editing on the other? But better yet - how can I make a movie on the timeline completely and change it later as a separate film. I have really four shorts - a minute long. I would like to change separately, with a new file name. I don't know how to do that more.

    I did some research on the issues that you have raised in this thread.

    Comments...

    1.

    After you import a video into the assets of the project, you can right click it, select Rename. This file when you drag the timeline will have the new name.

    But...

    If you import a video into the assets of the project, drag it to the timeline, right-click clip timeline, select Rename from the pop-up, then the calendar file will be renamed but not its thumbnail in the active project. You rename this project asset vignette to match if you want. However, these traces yet files renamed to the original with original filename to its disk hard saving location.

    2.

    All down your Timeline... one way would be to export the clip selectively if she was included in the Group of the clips on the Timeline. Two conditions for

    a. change box, set the gray tabs on the work area bar to expand on the segment to export

    and

    (b) in the field of export, have a check mark next to the option "Action work area Bar only.

    3.

    If you have made a clip in the active project, double clicked to open the preview window, you can cut the clip with the points put in and Set Out and create "subitems" with new names in the active project. These "subitems" would be part of the media of this project which could be moved to the timeline when necessary.

    Please review and determine if all the foregoing is in the right direction for what you want to do.

    Thank you.

  • 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.

  • How can I produce two outputs of the same project

    Dear Sir.

    My goal is to produce the two outputs of the same main project, Webhelp and HTML help, each of them will be used differently in my compnay.

    Producing two outputs is fine, but the problem was that external links are done differently for HTML help and Webhelp and as I Knew about you that can be solved by using conditional tags.

    Actually I am new to conditional tags and I don't know how to use them. Could you please help me to do this or recommend a link on how to use condtional tags to produce different outputs.

    Thank you very much

  • Mr President, how can I enter two rows at the same time with different default values that only the first line to use see?

    Mr President.

    My worm jdev is 12.2.1

    How to enter two rows at the same time with different default values that only the first line to use see?

    Suppose I have a table with four fields as below

    "DEBIT" VARCHAR2(7) , 
      "DRNAME" VARCHAR2(50),
      "CREDIT" VARCHAR2(7) , 
      "CRNAME" VARCHAR2(50),
    

    Now I want that when I click on a button (create an insert) to create the first line with the default values below

    firstrow.png

    So if I click on the button and then validate the second row with different values is also inserted on commit.

    The value of the second row are like the picture below

    tworows.png

    But the second row should be invisible. It could be achieved by adding vc in the vo.

    The difficult part in my question is therefore, to add the second row with the new default values.

    Because I already added default values in the first row.

    Now how to add second time default values.

            OperationBinding operationBinding = BindingContext.getCurrent().getCurrentBindingsEntry().getOperationBinding("Commit");
            operationBinding.execute();
            DCIteratorBinding iter = (DCIteratorBinding) BindingContext.getCurrent().getCurrentBindingsEntry().get("VdetView1Iterator");// write iterator name from pageDef.
            iter.getViewObject().executeQuery();  
    
        }
