How to manage the photos Lightroom when using 2 computers, keeping any changes made on one or the other?

Based on http://forums.Adobe.com/thread/1308132?TSTART=0 I decided to add each question separately:

Hello, I am very interested in buying Lightroom 5.2. I tried the RC that was missing today. Yet, I have several questions that I can't find really good conclusive answers, I'd like to get an answer before buying LR. Please do not write maybe like this or that (assumptions), because I don't want to start my entire workflow and then realize that I have to change all around, please reply, if you know for sure that something works and you are, preferably, using this method too.

Is the big question, where I want to especially a conclusive answer:  How to manage the photos Lightroom when using 2 computers, keeping all the changes made on one of them, using the same photos for editing. I'm not going to use DNG. Details: I mainly use my old MacBook Pro, but I wish I could use my PC as it is much better (card: i5 2500K, 16 GB of RAM, SSD, USB3, nVidia GTX 560 TI etc.). I have 2 external HD that I could use, one for backup and one for the actual Photos/changes. I you will probably need to use as my internal HDs are fairly complete and I cannot be the kind of things simply delete or move to one (developer, without loss of music, programs etc.).

On this basis, how do I save all such Photos folder (pictures and retouching and preferably presets too)?

According to me, that it should be possible to work cross-platform without having to create a link to the files each time, or without having to keep export/import of the catalog, keeping the single catalog and the picture library on an external drive that is then switched between systems as needed.

Obvious first requirement is an external drive that is formatted in a way (for example, FAT32) that it can be used on both platforms in read/write mode. Given that, if the catalogue AND folder parent si le catalogue ET le dossier parent images are both set to the same level in a global parent folder, then it should be possible to take advatage of ability of Lightroom to use relative paths instead of absolute paths to detect the images, no matter if the player is named (Mac) or lettering (PC). This is how "export as catalog of ' works, that is, it creates a 'package', alias a parent folder, containing the catalog and a replica of the folder hierarchy to exported along with the catalog images. Take this 'package' to another system (same OS or not) and "it works" even if the drive letter is different or the operating system is different... because the relative path of the image catalogue is always the same.

I have not tested this cross-platform (if I have between various PC systems with letters of different readers) so for me it's still just a theory, but there may be others who have done this successfully.

  • How to manage users of Lightroom photo sharing with the family?

    I'm looking for some best practices on how to manage the workflow of photo sharing.  Obviously the user of Lightroom does not want family members to start messing around with photos outside of Lightroom, and if the photos are not JPGs family members may be unable to view them in any case.  A solution I can think of is to shoot photos in JPG format and in Camera Raw at the same time and save the jpg files in a folder accessible to all and only import Camera Raw ones in Lightroom.

    I have a hard drive. At least two partitions. C: 74.7 GB with 63.3 freespace
    D: 74.2 GB with 70.6 freespace
    These are my original specifications of the hard drive: 160 GB (7200 RPM) SERIAL ATA HARD DRIVE WI
    So I suspect there are at least one or more partitions hidden leaving 11.1 GB for hidden partitions!

    The first entry in the directory windows on D: is 19.12.12, 18.42 the last 21.12.12, 22.40
    I hope that makes sense to someone, any help gratefully received!

    If you haven't done so already, take a look at the action of com.vmware.libarary.soap.processOutParameters.  It is the action that generated the log you have placed in us.  It generates an object Properties (key, value pairs) with the value for each setting that results.

    In your case, assuming that 'outProps' is the result of the above, you can use:

    var getRequestStatusResult = outProps.get ("GetRequestStatusResult");

  • How to manage the runtime at the stage of PreUUT error when running in parallel mode

    I would like to run Test DUT in parallel mode, and some actions are made in PreUUT of this kind of reading serial number and control of the aircraft.
    The model of process don't goto PostUUT step when the runtime error occurs at the stage of PreUUT, so I would like to add a few things to check if error in the cleaning of the sequence and return to the configuration at PreUUT stage, but I think it's jumping all the actions of installation and the main stage?

    What should I do if I want to go back to run PreUUT again after the first run when the runtime error occurs?

    Or, is it a good way to handle this kind of error withour restart of the program?

    Bandaged,

    There is no decent way to do this. The reason is the following: TestStand assumes that failure in the facility to a unique testsocket mechanism, it is senseless to proceed with this testsocket at all. It is recommended to manage the routines of judgment in this case using the SequenceFilePostStepRuntimeError callback. You also can use this callback to execute a loop on the step that creates the error until the error is resolved.

    By default, TestStand does not support a tribute of the error but the proceedings concerning the execution of shots. You can just ignore the error (deletion of the error indicator) or you can implement your own features. For example, you can set a custom fault indicator which will be evaluated as a first step in your hand. If the flag is set, ignore you everything in your hand.

    I know that this suggestion seems not to be a good idea because it's 'hack mack', but it solves your problem. TestStand, as already the State evaluates the execution errors that occur in the PreUUT as to the deficiencies of the system and carry out any checks is not suggested.

  • Acrobat spit - how to manage the use of the RAM?

    I set up a script to turn on and turn off a large number of lists of my layers to pdf at once. The Acrobat crashes when I use it with large PDF files, about 60 layers. At the beginning I really it would be a mistake, so I checked all the functions and added on all exception handling functions. The program always crashes without throwing an exception (to be sure, I've putted app.alert (...) in the catch block). Then I realized that the Acrobat crashes if it involves up to 500 MB of RAM, on the other computer 450 MB. It is possible at all, he's blocking because of lack of memory? If so, is it possible to manage it somehow? (increase more RAM to the program or delete some variables, which use no more when running or there is some garbage man)? I would like suggestions.

    It is possible at all, he's blocking because of lack of memory?

    Definitely.

    If so, is it possible to manage it somehow? (increase more RAM to the program or delete some variables, which use no more when running or there is some garbage man)?

    Nothing you can do about it, except to try to optimize your code. Unfortunately, Acrobat has a very bad memory of management mechanism and tends to choke or crash during execution of the tasks.

  • How Pix manages the rare IP protocol packets

    Does anyone know of a document explaining how the Pix handles, regarding the State, rare IP protocol packages such as ESP, AH, OSPF, GRE, etc. ? I'm concred with traffic flowing through the pix is not intended.

    I understand how TCP, UDP, and ICMP packets are handled, but I can't find anything on all others.

    Thank you.

    In General, the Pix must inspect any protocol passes through it accepts for TCP and UDP. The exception is a protocol which is managed by a '' correction '' like PPTP which has a correction to allow GRE (Protocol 47) traffic that results.

    If you want a different protocol than UDP/TCP to be allowed to get THROUGH, you almost create an ACL entry for her.

    The other exception is the traffic to the Pix itself as host. ACL have absolutely no effect on the traffic to the Pix as the host. For example, the packets OSPF intended for the Pix when running OSPF. Or packages ESP for the Pix for a VPN tunnel, it stops. Or ICMP traffic to the Pix itself (controlled using the command [icmp]). ACL don't apply to transit traffic.
