How can I tell Lightroom 6 I want to use years/dates as my file folder names

Recently I bought Lightroom, however I have thousands of images in Photoshop Elements.   I did not use years and dates that the principal names for folders for organizing.  You want to continue the system that I so need to change the defaults in Lightroom 6.  Looked for centuries and can not find where to change it.  Also have tried on this forum and Google search, but no significant results.  How to do this please?

It is not different in LR 6 / CC in LR 5.  You can find it in the dialogue right hand panel.  You may need to click the small arrow just to the right of the word 'Destination' to see.

  • How can I tell Lightroom what types of files (extensions) I want to be able to import?

    I had copied a. PNG file in the source folder and I wanted to import in the Lightroom Catalog.

    However the import dialog box does not show this file in the source folder at all.

    I also tried the method to select the source folder and using the option "synchronize". But who has not shown the. Either the PNG file.

    My clumsy work around was to open the file in CS6 and save it as a. JPG file.

    So my question: How can I tell Lightroom what types of files (extensions) I want to be able to import?

    You can't tell Lightroom what file types to import in the import dialog box. You could, if you wanted to, check that the boxes of file types to be imported, but it is a "manual" operation, it cannot be automated.

    In regards to the PNG files, Lightroom will NOT import them. The PNG files are not supported by Lightroom. In fact, Lightroom will import TIF, JPG, PSD, DNG and some RAW and film formats. Any other type of file cannot be imported into LR.

  • I have installed BitComet in my PC (Win 7). How can I disable it when I want to use Windows download instead?

    I have installed BitComet in my PC (Win 7). How can I disable it when I want to use Windows download instead? Thank you. Pete

    To turn off BitComet:

    Temporarily:

    Output file

    - or - the right mouse click on the icon in the system tray and choose exit in the conext menu.

    - or - the right mouse click on the icon in the system tray and select stop all tasks from the context menu.

    Permanently:

    Go to control Panel\Programs and features and select uninstall.

    It might be convenient to change the option and not BitComet starts automatically at Windows startup. With BitComet running, go to Tools Options integrations and uncheck automatically start...

    =====================

    Just out of curiosity: How does BitComet interferes with the simple download of Windows?

  • How can you tell Lightroom where to save images?

    Sometimes it seems that Lightroom has an own mind when it comes to saving. More precisely: on a Mac, when I decide to click on a selected image is displayed in library view I choose export > full size JPEG he continues to save the image in a folder, it remembers former stops without asking me where I want that image to export.

    How can I get control on Lightroom and export images using the method of control and the direct files to folders where I want the saved images?

    Thank you

    Ken

    Unfortunately, if you want to export files in different places whenever you need to use the command export to open the window that I show above.

    In an ideal world that LR would have a stop option in presets that interrupted the process, we helped define the location, then proceeds to processes based on various parameters of resolution, file type, etc. Some of the third-party export plug-ins may have this setup already, but I have not tend to use them, so can't really say.

  • How can I tell what version of FMS I use?

    Howdy. I work with an installation of Flash Media Server that someone else put in place. I would like to try recording to the server, but I read that I would need to have the version "Interactive Media Server" not "Streaming Media Server" version to do this. I do not yet know what version number so it is (2/3/4) this info would be helpful too. How can I find this information?

    In the admin console, managing servers-> license. The version is displayed above the list of serial keys

  • How can I show summary for every 15 minutes using the DATE data type

    This is probably an easy question, but the answer escapes me...

    I'm writing a SQL report that displays totals for each period of 15 minutes. I know you can do something like this for every minute:

    Select to_char (import_date, 'DD-MM-YYYY HH24'),
    Count (*) from
    package_ingest
    Group of to_char (import_date, 'DD-MM-YYYY HH24')

    But how can I change this query to get me every 15 minutes?

    Any feedback is greatly apprecaited!

  • How can I tell lightroom 5 to use a catalog that is moved to another drive?

    I moved the entire file my images (including my Lightroom Catalog), which was previously on my Windows 7 (64 bit) drive c: to another drive (f) and now I need to update Lightroom so that he knows where to find his re catalog - find.

    Please could I have a few basic instructions to change the Lightroom settings, in order to reuse the old catalog.

    Thanks for your help,

    Ian

    It can be very simple or it can be complex. To start, first of all make sure that the catalog file (the one with the .lrcat (LRCAT) extension) and the file preview that has the same name as the catalog but with the extension Previews.lrdata file are in the same folder. With Lightroom closed, double-click the catalog file and it should start Lightroom, if the original photos files are in their original location every thing should be fine. If the original files are not in the same place, then you will need to navigate Lightroom where they are. Post for additional information if you need additional assistance.

  • How can I tell if another computer on my network has access to my files?

    All of a sudden, there is what looks like a folder on my desktop, with different files into it that belonged to someone who had direct access to my laptop up until 2 days ago, but has since been locked out of it (all passwords are changed). It seems that he was able to access my laptop through our wireless home network, and I would like to be able to prove it's him. Can I do this? I have Vista on my laptop, and it has XP.

    Hello BarbiMcBride,

    I suggest looking at the answer in this thread by SpiritX:
    It explains the ways you can tell if someone accesses your computer remotely or not.
    You can also disable file and printer sharing:

  • How can you tell what your vSwitch NETWORK card uses?

    We are still at the experimental stage with our ESXi 4.1 installation and have 4 cards assigned to a vSwitch network. 3 are active and it is defined as the day before. Is there a way to tell which network cards are actually get used or are all 3 active cards get used both for the collection of NETWORK adapters? I have attached a few screenshots to view our installation.

    Another thing is that the day before, we noticed NIC for network management and VMnetwork are different and which seemed to have been changed on their own. Is this normal? For example the day before NIC for network management is set to vmnic3 and the NIC for the VMnetwork has the value vmnic2

    Well they are all 'used' to my knowledge.  The only way I've really seen to see one that is circulating is to make a display of advanced host performance and look at networking. From there on, it lists each nic and the amount of data it is to push through. I know that we have 4 s NIC team (similar to your Setup less standby configuration) and usually only a NETWORK card pushes the data at once.
