How can I specify the options of folders and files to memory cards in LR4?

Hello!

I read the sections Set import and file management preferences and settings to specify Auto Import in the manual. But they do not seem to answer my question. Other things that are written about importing files in Lightroom seem to relate only to importing photos to the Lightroom Catalog, that is not my main concern, although I do not want them imported into the catalog as well. But before the pictures can go to the Lightroom Catalog, they need to be improted, in other words copied from the memory card on the local hard drive. In short, all I want is for Lightroom to take over the responsibility of Canon EOS Utility and behave in the same way during the import/copy of the files on the local hard drive. How is Lightroom sets for this?

I want to just this type of file and folder structure:

J:\2010_08_02\IMG_0037.JPG

J:\2010_08_02\IMG_0039.JPG

J:\2010_08_22\IMG_0372.CR2

J:\2010_08_22\IMG_0372.JPG

J:\2010_11_29\IMG_1405.CR2

J:\2010_11_29\IMG_1405.JPG

J:\2011_06_17\IMG_2887.CR2

J:\2011_06_17\IMG_2887.JPG

... etc!

1. let's all start, where the heck can I specify the destination for the new photos folder?

There is an option called see the import dialog when a memory card is detected under the general tab in Preferences, but there is no option of destination of the file associated with this.

2. how can I tell Lightroom to leave the original file names as they are (i.e. IMG_2887.CR2) and place them in a new subfolder (i.e. 2011_06_17) in the destination folder (J:\), named after the date of the photo capture (17 July 2011)?

There are a few options on the management of the files tab in the Preferences, but they do not seem to affect the import of files on the local hard drive.

3 it maybe should have been the first question really. Lightroom is able to import files from the camera or card to the local hard disk drive at all?

Of course, I expect to be able to do, but from the looks of him, I'm not too confident in this respect.

To begin I would just copy my picture files, directly from the camera or a card reader in a destination folder of my choice, in the same way as Canon EOS Utility it. I didn't wat to simply import the files into the Lightroom Catalog and start working with the files directly from the camera or memory card. Hell no! It is not an external drive for the love of God!

Please advise!

I think what you want is on the right side of the screen import, down. There is a Destination area. It can be reduced. Just click on the small triangle next to 'Destination' to develop. Everything you need is there.

    * original title - libraries and some type of file

    Hello

    Libraries should show only the files that are contained in the files that you add to this library.

    Example:

    In Windows Explorer, select the Document library.

    In the window display on the right, click the link x sites in the top/left of the window.

    This will open a dialog box displays all the folders that have been added to this library.

    By default, the Library of Documents should show the folders My Documents and public records .

    If there is other records showing that you don't want in this library, Select the folder and click on the Remove button.

    You can also right click the documentslibrary, in the Part of Navigation and select Properties. At the bottom of the Properties dialog box, click on the button by default is restore to remove all additional files have been added.

  • How can I specify the Page size when exporting PDF in CS5?

    Hi all

    I just upgraded to ID CS5 and I'm really impressed with the improvements. Of course, however, some aspects take a few adjustments that brings me to my question. How can I specify the size of the "printed" page when you export a PDF file? Basically, in CS4 I could set up a document to have, for example a page size of 20x20cm. I could then print it in PDF format and select a page A4 format. This meant that I could get my printer to print the document of 20 x 20 irregular size on a standard paper size and include benchmarks of crop etc. In CS5, I cannot get ID to export the pages that they are configured (i.e. 20x20cm).

    I don't know I must be missing something obvious here, someone has any ideas?

    I hope that I managed to explain my problem clearly enough and we hope to hear from someone soon. Thank you very much in advance for any help you can provide!

So far, as mentioned earlier, before CS5 I was printing to / check-in PDF directly from ID without problem. For some reason any (and I stil have not thought to it yet) it seems the only way I can get the PDF of ID files is to create a Postscript file, open with Preview (I use a Mac) and then save as PDF.

    Try file > report > Adobe PDF (Print)... to make a PDF file you can print from Acrobat or Reader. You will have several presets of your choice, or you can use your own options if you have settings that you prefer, which will make a PDF suitable for different types of printing scenarios. For digital output instead of a commercial press, a ggod preset choice would be of high quality printing, but you can even use the same jopoptions or settings file you were using to print directly to PDF in the past.

  • How can I specify the AU_SIZE attribute in YES

    Hello

    How can I specify the AU_SIZE when I create the Group of disks for disk OCR and vote when I install the House of GI.
    Basically, I want to create the disk with AU_SIZE group as 4MB when I create Via YES. I know that I can change the attributes when I using ASMCA. But not sure, YES.

    Please can someone guide me?

    Concerning
    Joe

    Hey Joe,

    Did you mean that I will need to move the OCR/vote * to an another diskgroup-> drop those created during installtion--> recrerate the diskgroup with AU_SIZE as you wish

    Yes... you should move the OCR, VOTING and ASM SPFILE to an another diskgroup and recreate the diskgroup.

    DOC said: Oracle recommends that the allocation unit (to THE) size for a group of disks attached to 4 megabytes (MB).
    I don't see any benefits to configure the 4MBytes to THE SIZE for diskgroup that will store only the Clusterware files.
    The voting are stored directly on the drive of the ASM (i.e. not at THE SIZE of use). The OCR file and use ASM SPFILE to THE SIZE, but are not frequently consulted (low e/s) and files are too small to set up to 4MBytes.

    SIZE of the game by THE way a difference when you don't need broadband to e/s. IE: used for Diskgroup that will store the data files.

    I recommend that read my point of view how to store files of VOTING, OCR and SPFILE ASM about ASM.

  • How can I change the size of text and background color?

    How can I change the size of text and background color? When I select the text box and change the height, nothing happens. If I drag the box is smaller, it just jumps back to where she was. If I try to change the color, (which is set to 'default' gray), no color, it still shows as white on preview. Because I can not change the size of text box, I need to at least make the clear background because it's something that overlap.

    Answered my own question kind of... I had to go into the 'code' and change the settings manually. Why even have the options in 'view designer' to change the size of text box or color if it doesn't?
