How to avoid to create images when importing duplicate?

I doubt that it is the correct method or better to import/organize my photos, because it creates additional work I would like to avoid.  I'm looking for a solution.

I do the following:

  • Copy all my photos from my SD card in my folders organized on my external hard drive.
  • Open Lightroom and import photosfrom my external hard drive.

What happens is that Lightroom creates an image duplicated on my Mac in my pictures folder. At this point, he referred to this directory and not my external hard drive. What I end up doing deletes the pictures in my photos folder.  So I connect all my photos in Lightroom on my external drive.

As you can imagine, it becomes tedious to do this every time I have import in Lightroom.

My idea situation is Lightroom NOT to reproduce images or put them in any folder, but simply refer to those that I chose when importing to my external hard drive.

Any help would be much appreciated.

It's probably because you select the option COPY the top of import dialog when you should be by selecting the Add option.

COPY the images of copies from one place to another and to import them.

ADD add just the images in the LR catalog where they are currently.

There is also the possibility of "make the second copy to:" on the side right of the dialog import but this option is only available with either COPY it, MOVE or COPY as DNG options. You need to add the option to add images in the catalog file LR in the place where they are already on your external drive.

  • How to check a cisco image when the device not approved (hacked)?

    I have a cisco router that I don't totally trust. I want to check the image to verify that it has not been reinstalled with a notched. The verify command indicates that the image is ok.

    As I checked the image on the router itself, but with the help of a possibly compromised system I have not totally trust this information.

    Issues related to the:

    * Is it possible to deploy "hacked images" or the low level of cisco boot loader refuse to load such an image due to internal hardware signature checks that cannot be falsified.

    * I have uploaded the image of the router. If the router contained a manipulated image (and has not changed during the download so I downloaded a fake but the original image), how can I check the content when it is stored on my workstation. Cisco Web sites contains a few 'service' where I ask md5sum/sha1 /... for a version of the given image?

    I wonder how to display an image or a swf image when the film is not play. Any information appreciated. Thank you!

    A swf is never really off if it is displayed. But if you want something to show when there is nothing going on in the file, then just do sit in a frame with any content you intend to display.

  • Table do not create lines when importing XML

    Hello

    I loaded my XMl file tags.  I have a text box on my indesign document. I have the tag in the tag of the 'Net.  I then drew a table in the text box with 2 rows and 3 columns.  All cells in the table are marked for 'Cell '.  I then right click on the root-> element-> ReportData tag now when I import it then everything is as should be.  That is to say 2 rows with relevant information populated in all of all cells.

    I hoped to do was to create a table and specify only one line with 3 columns.  When I import the XML file, I was hoping that the aid: trows = "2" would create the extra line.  But this isn't the case.  Instead remains 1 row, but there are 3 additional columns that appear (IE 6 cells in row 1).  Someone tell me what I'm doing wrong please.

    Here is my XML

    <? XML version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8"? >
    "< produitLogiciels xmlns:aid ="http://ns.adobe.com/AdobeInDesign/4.0/"xmlns:aid5 ="http://ns.adobe.com/AdobeInDesign/5.0/">" "
    < net >
    < aid: table = 'table' aid: trows = "2" aid: tcols = "3" >
    < aid5:cellstyle of cells = "Red banner" aid5:paragraphstyle = "Red banner" aid: pstyle = "Red banner" aid: table = 'cell' > NET returns of funds < / cell >
    < cell aid: table = 'cell' aid: ccolwidth = "130" > < / cell >
    < cell aid: table = 'cell' aid: ccolwidth = "130" > < / cell >

    < cell aid: table = 'cell' aid: ccolwidth = "130" > 56 < / cell >
    < cell aid: table = 'cell' aid: ccolwidth = "130" > 1 < / cell >
    < cell aid: table = 'cell' aid: ccolwidth = "130" > 42 < / cell >

    < /table >
    < / net >
    < / produitLogiciels >

    I think that your xml is working as you are wanting him for me. Take a look at the attached screenshot.

    Here's what I did (in CS4, BTW):

    1. Create a new document
    2. Rename the tag root of "ProduitLogiciels".
    3. Create a new tag named "NetFundReturns".
    4. Create a unique text on the page and tag with the tag "NetFundReturns".
    5. Import XML

  • How to avoid the focus problem when browsing via browser back button

    Hello

    I am facing a problem in setting focus on the buttons.
    Please see application: http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=47869:2

    login details:
    Workspace: vsanthanam
    user: vijay
    PSWD: apex_demo

    In this application, I have 2 pages.
    #2 has the "submit" button
    Page no. 3 contains the Cancel button

    The two buttons are basic HTML and can be accessed using access key ALT + s and ALT + c.

    The problem is:
    When I go back to the previous page (pgid #2) of the application using back button of the browser pgid IE #3.
    due to the onFocus event located in the button "submit", control returns to pgid #3.

    Is there a possible way to set the focus to other elements. so that whenever IE brower back button, application would stay in
    page #2.


    I took approaches:
    -------------------------
    If we use onclick, onfocus instead and then the problem remains because we have onfocus = "this.click (); in equipping the Accesskey.
    Another way is onKeyup event. If we use onKeyup, we can avoid this browser back problem, but disappears from the access keys functions.

    Pointers on this would be a great help.

    Thank you very much
    -Vijay

    PLEASE NOTE: I have created intentionally two buttons on each page. It is necessary to have HTML buttons with the key features of access,
    otherwise application gives a few flaws in HTML accesskey.

    Hi Vijay,

    Crikey, aren't annoying browsers! It took a while to get out, but I've updated your SUBMIT1 button attributes:

    class="t20Button" AccessKey="s" tabindex="-1" onclick="javascript:this.blur();doSubmit('SUBMIT1');" onfocus="javascript:this.blur();doSubmit('SUBMIT1');"
    

    Note that I removed the spare semicolons you after each attribute - these are only required in javascript code.

    The important point to note are the statements of "this.blur" () - this tells the browser to move away from the current item to the next. On your page, only for this purpose, I have added a text element of Temp - I am assuming that your actual page will have at least one other element on the page that will accept the focus? Everything gets focus of the call "this.blur ()", should be the element with focus when the Back button is used.

  • How to improve the poor quality when importing the .mts files?

    Hey there,

    This is my problem in a few words: I did the sequence with Canon camcorder, not course specifications about but I could dig them out if necessary. Files/clips are in format .mts and are so open bearable quality on my Windows PC.

    However, when I import them into Adobe Premiere Pro (trial version), they lose spectacular quality, can stop at any second, but more important-, they are all "wavy", with almost scratches on the screen, so the resolution suffers a lot. This can be seen in the Timleine, and it's the same when you export.

    When I create a new sequence, there are options to choose the parameters - maybe this could help? Also, maybe I need to indicate some specific settings during export.

    Sound is OK, though the same as in the source video.

    Thank you, any advice/guess will be highly appreciated!

  • How to specify the initial image when publishing swf

    I use Flash CS6 on a Mac, by creating banners web marketing on different websites of publication through a "clickTAG" button. When I publish my swf and a set of control and test html file, how choose the frame displayed before picture animation series? It usually displays a clumsy moment of a motion tween or an interpolation alpha until a mouse click starts the animation, then it shows the complete animation to the starting point. I would like the ability to choose the framework that is displayed in the waiting for a click.

    The link to Bass Player magazine show a leaderboard banner size full Compass just below the header, with a motion tween to a standstill at rest. I would like to show everything on stage as if it were a static file.

    It's a straight line to auto power off. Open your palette of code snippets and use it. Place it in its own layer called (Action Script) on top.

  • How to avoid overwriting the italics when you apply paragraph styles?

    First of all, let me say thank you to the community of Adobe's Forum for the great help over the years! You Rock! 9 times out of 10 you nail!

    OK, so I have a long document full of italics, bold and accents. Successfully, I imported the text in MS Word and kept these text features using the import options. But now, when I go to apply paragraph styles, the italics are lost. Is it possible to implement paragraph styles so that they maintain Roman, italic, bold and also special characters like accents? Thank you!

    Hi David: I just put upward (and record) queries for search/replace that I of course after you import all text. For example, I have one that is italic in the document and it goes to a character called italic style. Once I saved queries, it is very fast to run on all the stories at the same time. And once the local formatting is managed through character styles, it is intact by assigning paragraph styles.

  • How can we ignore the video when importing? I am aware that it took 4 years ago, but I don't know that there must be a better way today?

    I am currently evaluating lightroom to replace Apple's Aperture as is the end of LIFE. I am a professional filmmaker who made a few pictures on the side. Lightroom 6 emphasize the import of videos, unless I have clear them manually during import. I ABSOLUTELY NEED to divide probably photos and videos on various imports and paths to backup IMMEDIATELY when I put the card into the computer on the tray. This way of manual de-selection is stressful, slow and prone to error. It hates me lightroom - I love otherwise - on each import of the card.

    Is it really now way to tell lightroom to ignore the .mov files and stick to the photos? It is very difficult to believe for a professional software and unfortunately would be a dealbreaker for me.

    Would like to find a way to do it, then I would be able to commit to the ambient light for my photo needs.

    Best

    Hi GerritH,

    If you use Lightroom 6/CC, there is no way to deselect the videos, but what you can do is to change the sort order to media type and unselect all the videos at the time of importation.

    • Press "check all".
    • Sort by "media type".
    • Select all video files (select a first + press shift + select last)
    • remove the flag on a single video file (this uncheck all selected video files)
    • Press on import.

    If you use Lightroom 5 or earlier, there is a hidden option: hold down the Alt/Option key and "check all" and "Uncheck all" buttons turns in "check videos ' and 'Videos to uncheck', respectively." From there you can asily choose to imp [tro photos or video only.]
