How to rename folders on a regular basis?

iMac 4K 32 GB running LR CC by subscription.  Latest version of El Capitan.

I have a hodgepodge of folder names. I've created a unique record for each session in the Finder, but then started allowing LR to create records. Now, my folder name system is all messed up. Problem is I can't rename them by LR.

All my images are in an external drive in a folder named NIKON. Lightroom Import creates a new subfolder in the folder that I nominated for entry. This subfolder is the year, and then it creates a subfolder to the one with the date as 2015-11-07

Records are displayed in LR as in this example: 2015-Nikon/OklahomaCentennialBotanicalGarden the name and the path of the folder in the Finder is Nikon > OklahomaCentennialBotanicalGarden > 2015

This garden has been renamed in TulsaBotanicGarden. I need to rename the folder.  When I right click on this folder in LR named 2015-Nikon/OklahomaCentennialBotanicalGarden, the input renaming area has only '2015' in it. I tried to type the full name like this: 2015 - Nikon/TulsaBotanicGarden.  Now, it appears in the Organizer folder as TulsaBotanicGarden and there is no '2015' in front of him, so it appears at the bottom of my list, rather than with the other shoots of 2015. The attached picture shows the two ways records are listed in the menu Organizer LR. My choice was on the "2015 - NIKON/family" folder and you can see what the area looks like rename the folder when I right click this folder.Screen Shot 2015-11-07 at 5.53.32 PM.jpg

Rename files in LR is somewhere between confusion and irrational. Otherwise, I am an experienced user of LR since V1. Is there a control that displays the folder hierarchy in LR as well as in the Finder?

Thank you.

Problem is I can't rename them by LR.

I'm curious to know why, as you are!

In my LR Folders pane, I simply right-click on a folder, choose 'Rename', type the new folder name as I want.

Control Panel folder in Lightroom shows records as they exist in the Finder.

Control Panel folder in Lightroom displays only records that contain images that you have "imported".

The name that you have a folder in Lightroom is the same as the name of the folder in the Finder.

Moving folders in the Control Panel folder Lightroom moves also in the Finder. (But never move or rename in Finder!)

The 'Collections' Panel has no relation to the folder structure whatsoever (unless you maybe create collections to import)

An example - I want to change the name of the folder 'My photos photographers' to a new name-"PHOTOGRAPHERS".

So I right click on the folder - and choose "Rename...". »

Type new name-

And Lightroom displays the new name - just like the Finder (in my case is Windows Explorer)

Note the folder 'GROUP' that appears in the file Explorer, but not in Lightroom-it does contain all the images!

And -.

If you want to reorganize the structure of your file by moving the files to the appropriate places - do it all in Lightroom. (Slides &)

And you can also change the format of the files in the Control Panel folder by right click on the [+] sign in the file header-

  • How to filter the searches on the basis of licenses (free, cheap, expensive)?

    Hello users of Adobe.

    I am new to Adobe Stock. In its promotion is spoken of quote from millions of end of quotation of the images under a free license. That sounded very attractive. Unlike the regular stock libraries I use (123RF, iStock, Getty), I don't know how/where to limit searches on the basis of license cost (or even free).

    Any ideas?

    Thanks a lot for helping out.

    Hans

    There are not those that are free or different prices. Free doesn't mean free not. They are all the same price depending on the subscription type you are on that.

  • Help! Can I recover my Lightroom changes after re-synchronization and rename folders sources?

    My source files were a mess, I went and about organized, creating folders and sort by type. I thought I could just re - a link to the files offline in LR.

    In Lightroom, I clicked on my photo of root folder and chose 'synchronize the folder"- what I didn't, is it seems to have deleted what I had and it re-imported again. So my problem is that all my Lightroom changes on these files are now gone. All I have are raw photos, intact.

    I backup on a regular basis. Is it possible to restore my changes? All the underlying file names are the same.

    I hope so...

    3.6 Lightroom

    OS x 10.6.8

    OK, think about it. Here's what I did, in case anyone has the same problem in the future:

    • Open the catalog in the menu file. Chose my latest backup (since last weekend).
    • He closed my catalogue in force and loaded the old a. This means that I went to a ton of grey tiles with '?' icons, because it cannot find the files in the original location.
    • I clicked on the first '?' icon. LR says: "cannot find IMG_3843" for example. I clicked on "find" and pointed to the new folder. All images in this folder appeared then, which is really nice because I didn't have to do photo by photo. Only by folder. Who saved a ton of time!
    • The pictures seemed still unpublished, but when I click on one of them, it loads the changes that I made in LR.

    All back to normal! Phew!

    Go through this process, I had an extra appreciation for the elegance of the design of LR.

  • Keychain is destroyed on a regular basis

    Hey everybody,

    a few months my Mac destroyed her trousseau on a regular basis, without any reference to what actually the cause of the problem.

    Which does not mean destroy? Well, my keychain seems to become partially unalterable partially destroyed entirely. Here are the symptoms:

    1. Some applications (but not all) using credentials in Keyring stop to launch. For example, Microsoft Office or Hipchat.
    2. I can't add a new credential for the keychain. If I run a new application that requires credentials, the application stops working (hang) indefinitely after that I submitted the user name and password.
    3. I can't remove records from the keychain. If I have access to app access to the OS x Keychain, I can see all the credentials. If I select one randomly and hit, right-click / Delete, Keychain Access hangs and hangs indefinitely.

    I can only fix this problem by deleting the entire folder keychain and re - enter the credentials. However, after some time (a few days or weeks) keychains are shattered once again.

    Is it possible to know, what app it breaks exactly? This is getting frustrating.

    I am running OSX 10.11.5 but the problem persists since 10.11.4.

  • How to rename the bookmarks pinned to the taskbar?

    Firefox 18.0

    I have a few bookmarks pinned to the taskbar. They show the URL of the link, not the name of the bookmark. For example; in my menu bookmarks, I have a bookmark named "hotmail", but when I pin in the Firefox icon in the taskbar, it appears as https://login.live.com.

    How to rename or get it to show the same name as the menu drop-down?

    Step 1: Create a bookmark to the URL in firefox with the name you want.
    Step 2: Drag the bookmark on the desktop (it can create it with the IE icon)
    Step 3: Drag the icon to the icon of firefox pinned in the taskbar. This should pin the URL in firefox with the name. It will be useful.

  • Internet "disconnected" on a regular basis

    I bought my Toshiba Equium A300D Tuesday, which came with Vista Home Premium and since then I had problems with the internet "disconnect" on a regular basis - I say "disconnected" because in reality there is nothing wrong with my connection to all the.

    I have a local network set in place with the A300D, an address book remove but not Toshiba, one and an old desk. The Office has a wired connection to my router and two laptops have wireless connections, but neither the second laptop or fixed, are having problems with the connection, only the A300D.

    My ISP reports no problem, and my router has been for more than a week now without requiring a reboot. On the A300D but I apparently lose connection on a regular basis, with my browser (which happens with Firefox, Opera and Internet Explorer) don't find no connection and the pages won't load do not.

    Finally, if I try and refresh the pages, browsers just crash (and in the case of Firefox, it is often impossible to end the process with Task Manager, which means I'm unable to re - open). The Google Desktop Sidebar is also losing the connection too at the same time, as a number of other applications using internet connections, * but * Vista, when I try to 'diagnose and fix' the problem is said it isn't a problem, and a few other apps, my backup Carbonite and Skype service are the two remaining connected (and experience with my old laptop if there is internet connectivity problems Skype is usually the first thing to disconnect).

    At first, I thought it was a problem with Firefox (my main browser), but as is the case with others too, it doesn't seem to be a simple matter of Firefox. Malware scan (Windows Defender) and antivirus (Eset NOD32) come to clear back, and it makes no difference if my firewall (ZoneAlarm) is in place or not, and I tried it with just the WIndows firewall as well.

    Everything is going well for a while, but then suddenly I apparently lose the connection and once again, the only way to get it back is to restart, and once again things will be fine for a while until the browsers lose the connection (if as I said, Skype and Carbonite are still connected). At present on average I'll have to reboot every half hour or so, which is very frustrating and I'm getting little done for this reason.

    I tried to look on the Vista from MS community support forum and a number of people seem to have problems with Vista - I was unable to post my problem here but in regarding the site for some reason MS refuses to accept my Windows Live IDs, and a google also found similar problems that appear to be related with Vista and SP1.

    A number of discussions mentioned this could be linked with the TCP/IPv6 protocol, and that to disable TCP/IPv6 as a temporary workaround might work, and when I checked my connectivity TCP/IPv6 connection parameters has been showing as "limited." Disable TCP/IPv6 has however made no difference - I still have to restart every half an hour or two to get things running.

    I am at the end of my home here - at - it ideas?

    Try the following:

    (1) update the driver Wireless LAN from Toshiba Europe site

    (2) update the BIOS from the Web of Toshiba Europe site

    (3) update the Firmware on your Wifi router. Some routers have some compatibility problems with some wifi chipsets.

    (4) go to the Device Manager-> Wifi-> properties and disable power management, increase the output power, disable 802. 11A and others that you do not use.

    Hi mate

    I assume you are using Win7. Right?

    Cannot rename files (programs) that appear in the Start Menu.

    You can ONLY rename folders.
    If you click on all programs, then you should also see some folders there.
    Right click on the folder and you should see the option rename.
    Choose this option and then you should be able to rename the folder
