How can I remove the originals, I don't like to take when importing from a SD card?

Hi all

Just installed LR3 with Santa. Have been going through the videos and the Lightroom_3_Help PDF and PDF of Lightroom-GettingStarted_Lo but I can not understand how to remove files from the gitgo simply importing from an SD card or from my HARD drive (files already moved on the HARD drive but not yet slaughtered or imported into LR3). I was hoping that I could, at the LIBRARY, just r/c on a file that isn't obviously useful to keep and just remove it so I mustn't do it later. Looks like I could, thus, be able to focus more on the shots requiring a change.

Also, need suggestions as to how I would like to import my files using the DNG, Copy, Move, or Add. First off, I'm not a pro at work but am an occasional serious amateur. I'm picky and I like things look the first time and I like options.  The pix already on my HARD drive is in the IMAGES folder. those that are imported from the SD card are transferred to the PHOTO folder. I have, in the past, moved the verssions transformed to another DESTINATION folder - now I still have the originals and I've dealt with copies to show and share.

I understand that LR3 don't ND edition but I guess that if I don't keep a DNG so anytime I want a JPEG or PNG image that I open LR3 to make a. Since I've been taking a few hundred pix per year (although this will change with my new D5000) I won't load to the top of my HARD drive any time soon. So, is there a way I can make a DNG file, keep the original RAW or JPEG file AND save a JPEG or PNG copy turned in my DESTINATION folder in one swell foop?

Thanks in advance,

Phil in San Diego

There is no need to delete the source; Select the photos you want to copy the source into your library and apply metadata and keywords that apply to all, then back up the photos that are now in the library, and then only have to format the SD card. Using this method, you will never have to worry about the photos of the source should be deleted, you simply focus on which those that are imported. Your also always make sure to have two copies of your work at all times and consider make a third copy you should kee off site to maximize the availability of your data disaster (and don't foget the catalogue Lightroom itself!).

  • I imported my address books. How can I remove the default empty

    I imported my address from my old computer books in Thunderbird on my new computer. Empty default address books don't seem to be able to be deleted, so I have now two books personal address and two collected addresses, the first of all is the default value for empty one and the second is my populated version. Thunderbird seems to point to the default empty. How can I remove the empty for default Thunderbird to my places.

    Thank you

    I don't think you can remove the default books. I open any personal book, select a contact, do a control + a to select all and drag in the personal address book by default. Then delete the empty book. Then do the same for the collected books.

    You can remove bookmarks as described for the deletion of history in

    The reference to bookmarks won't in the details, because it is in the article above.

    You will be perhaps easier to delete bookmarks you don't want in the list of the bookmarks library.

    Hi, Malcolm

    For this model of laptop, it is quite complicated because the STRANGE is from both sides. First you must remove the small screw placed in the Middle near the coverage of memory in the lower corner of your laptop (also near the cooling rack). The STRANGE is also secured with small hook placed under the keyboard.

    At the right place of this small hook is not known but I know that it is placed somewhere under the keyboard. I don't really know what you need to do. Have you already tried to remove the keyboard?

    I have to be honest and it's not so easy to give instructions here because I don't know if you're familiar with the disassembly. I don't want damage you something on your laptop. Small error can ends with a broken plastic cover. Please be careful.

    Hello

    Try the following and see if it helps.

    I suggest you perform a disk check and check if it helps.

    See the following steps:

    a. open the computer by clicking the Start button, click computer.

    b. click the drive you want to check, and then click Properties.

    c. click on the Tools tab and then, under error-checking, click Find now.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    d. to automatically repair problems with files and folders that the scan detects, select automatically fix file system errors. Otherwise, the disk check will be a problem, but not to fix them.

    e. to carry out a thorough, check select search for and attempt recovery of bad sectors. This analysis tries to find and repair physical errors on the disk itself, and it may take much longer to complete.

    f. to check for errors file and the physical errors, select both automatically fix errors in file system and search for and attempt recovery of bad sectors.

    g. click on start.

    Note: When running chkdsk on the drive hard if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area if all available on which data can be lost.

    Note: Make sure also that you have disconnected all external devices except the keyboard and mouse.

    Note: If you are always faced with the question then I suggest you to upgrade on the spot and check if it helps.

    How can I remove the tones created in garageband that have been uninstalled? I also installed but I can't remove it either please help thanks

    Hello Michael,

    Welcome to Apple Support communities.

    I see that you need assistance, removal of GarageBand ringtones that were uninstalled. I know it's nice to be able to properly manage your tones. I can help you with this.

    Use the article for iOS (iPad) 2.0.x GarageBand: GarageBand share songs, more precisely, this section:

    To remove the existing ringtones follow these steps:

    • Press to select, then press the button Delete for any ringtone you want to delete.

    • Drag a ringtone in the list, and then press delete.

    Have a great day!

  • How can I remove "the folder/Users/user/to/mygame doesn't exist." Terminal. Rises every time I launch Terminal.

    How can I remove "the folder/Users/user/to/mygame doesn't exist." Terminal. Rises every time I launch Terminal. I am a novice. Thank you very much.

    1. Please select from the menu bar Terminal

    ▹ terminal preferences... ▹ Profiles ▹ Shell

    If the run command box is checked, uncheck it or enter the command to run automatically (if any), each opening of a Terminal window. Note: this is not how you define a default shell.

    2. If step 1 does not resolve the problem, see below.

    Back up all data.

    Select

    New Shell command ▹

    in the Terminal menu bar. Uncheck the box marked

    Run the command inside a shell

    If it is enabled.

    Copy and paste the following line into the text box that appears, and then press return:

    /bin/mkdir disabled_shell_files

    Close the Terminal window that opens. Repeat with this line:

    /bin/mv .profile .bash_history .bash_profile .bashrc .inputrc disabled_shell_files

    History Shell and former initialization files will be saved in a directory named "disabled_shell_files" at the top level of your home directory. It is normal that some of these files do not exist, and therefore, you will get error "no file".

    Close the window and open a new test.

    You may already know that files with name starting in '. ' are not visible in the Finder by default. So, if you open the folder that you created in the Finder, it will appear as empty, even if it is not. If you need to recover a portion of the data in the files of the shell, use a shell such as nano-based text editor (1). Make sure that you're not recreating the problem. Otherwise, you can delete the folder.
