How to retrieve virtual copies + information meta for photos which were in lightroom and climbed settles in the finder

Hey there,

Since I bought my new camera, I was extremely organized in my new photo folders. (organized by date, name of the event. ex: "YYYY-MM-DD - golf tournament").

It's all about my 'external hard drive', in a folder called "photography hdd."

tonight, I decided to go in a different folder on the same external hard drive (external hard drive > media > photos) that was never held. I used the same organization method mentioned above and created folders organized by date to reorganize these photos.

then, when I was organizing the 'pictures' folder, I dragged all these organized by date records "photography-hdd", then deleted this folder "photos". in other words, I have added to my Lightroom main library folder where all the other those published were always.

then I got the idea great to change the name 'photography hdd' to 'pictures', simply because it was more clean...

Once in Lightroom, I did not know what to click to Update my file "photography hdd", now called "photos" in the Finder. so I think that I clicked and selected "update folder location" and selected the new 'pictures' folder (which was essentially the same folder as 'photography hdd' but with a new name - I guess it's this that mixed up Lightroom).

Then, all the pictures are gone. None appeared.

I decided to rename 'Photo' of 'photography hdd', hoping that Lightroom would recognize the name and then understand where the files are located. but it changed nothing.

I saw that I had not a lot of options, I tried to synchronize the folder "photography hdd." It appeared as if I was importing 12000 new photos - I understood so that the pictures I had initially in it would be not be recognized even if I put the folder parent its original name "photography hdd."

is it possible to recover the changes that I made to the files that were there at the beginning, until I screwed? all I care is to obtain changes that same back (called virtual copies I think).

Please note: I haven't changed the names of file and their respective names organized by date file. all, I changed, it was the name of the parent folder, but I put it its original name. the BIG problem and the cause of all this, is that I did all my changes to folder in the Finder, and not in Lightroom.

It may be better to use your last backup. Unzip the file and double-click the .lrcat file to launch your named catalog.

Then try to update the files individually link to the new location.

    How do you know php? There are exif function that can read EXIF headers on your images. You can use it in conjunction with the functions of file system scanning of the images on your web server. If you have thousands of images, you want to index the results in a database rather than search the real-time file system.

  • How to make virtual copies of the files separate and "real".

    I have seen that LR doesn't let me drag a virtual copy of one folder to another.  How one converts virtual in a 'real' file while retaining the original?  And besides, it is not clear to me what could be the equivalent of "save under" in LR [or have I just failed to locate it?]

    Yes, but you will need to re - import tiff format that would lose the advantage of a virtual circuit that is stored as a metadata only. It would be better to save as a snapshot in the history panel and when you resume with additional editing, make a second snapshot. You can then return to each stage at any time.

  • How to move virtual machines from one host to another without full VI and vMotion?

    Hello

    could you help me with a question?

    I have two installed hosts with ESXi 3.5 U5, which are connected to the shared iSCSI (Openfiler) - VMs storage are installed on the storage disk. My requirement is to have a cheap solution of DR - in case of failure of a host, I need to move and start VM on the host of work. How to achieve without going through VMware Infrastructure 3.5 and vMotion?

    I found this article:

    http://www.virtualizetips.com/2010/04/how-to-move-a-VM-without-vCenter-or-storage-VMotion/

    but RCLI needs Infrastructure of VMware ESXi does not have default CLI So, how to move VMs between hosts (of course I mean "cold" move) without byuing any additonal VMware SW? It is generally possible in my situation?

    Thank you.

    If the virtual machines are running in shared storage (two guests see the same storage iSCSI or NFS) then it's simple. If a host goes down, then look for the data store on the ESXi host work. Navigate through folders for each virtual machine, right-click on the VMX file and add to the inventory. You will then be able to turn on the virtual machine.

    To move a virtual machine from one host to another, as long as both hosts had the same processors, you can pause the VM on the single host, browse and add the virtual machine to the inventory on the second break host and the United Nations.

    If the virtual machines are on local storage, but the two hosts are connected to the same shared storage, clone virtual machines on a daily basis from local storage to shared storage. Use something like ghettoVCB http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-8760 make the clone. In the case of a server failure, you will be able to browse the data store, add to the inventory on the shared storage and switch the cloned machine.

  • How can I set a default program for photos?

    I work in real estate and I am often sent lots of photos, a lot of times the photos are too big, so I have to go to Office Picture manager and compress them. But go a place where photos are in h is a lot of time and effort, especially when dealing with shrinking 100 photos. Is there a way to put the PM as my default Photo Viewer, so I can just compress in this program?

    ============================================
    Apparently you're running Windows XP?

    Lets say that the pictures are .jpg

    OK... just right-click a .jpg photo thumbnail or file name and
    the menu choose... Properties / General tab / change button...

    In the menu choose... Microsoft Office Picture Manager...
    OK / apply / OK...

    That should do it.

    FWIW... If you are running Win XP... the following free PowerToy
    makes it very easy and fast to resize batches of photos.

    Click on the following link and on the left, click PowerToys...

    Windows XP downloads
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/downloads/Windows-XP

    (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
    Restore point before installing software or updates)

    Download and install: ImageResizer.exe
    (Filename: ImageResizerPowertoySetup.exe)
    (does not work on Vista)

    Then, you can open any folder containing
    images and you will have an option to resize.
    Just right click the selected image files and
    Choose resize images in the menu. You
    can select a picture or an entire group.

    The program will place the resized in copies
    the folder with your originals.
    (Tip: * never * overwrite your originals)

    To ensure that images in both portrait and
    landscape orientation are resized to the
    same dimensions... go to... Advanced...
    and enter the largest number in these two areas.
    IOW... for 600 x 800... Enter 800 in these two areas.

  • How to create a list of copyrights for photos used in a book

    Hi all!

    I do my first book for the birthday of a community organization, in which I'm involved, and I am struggeling to create an index of copyrighted material used. I tried searching the Web, but I could use the wrong term.

    I want to be like him is the following:

    General Electric: 48,49,50,134,188

    General Motors: 59

    Jane Doe: 4,54,86,100

    John Doe: 3,54,139,201


    The closest, I managed to get is to create a table of contents listing all of a given paragraph style, but it would be


    John Doe: 3

    Jane Doe: 4

    General Electric: 48

    General Electric: 49

    General Electric: 50

    Jane Doe: 54

    John Doe: 54

    General Motors: 59


    .. and so on.


    With hundreds of photos, this will be a very long list.

    Could someone tell me please in the right direction to achieve what I'm after?

  • Why my compputer screen will go black for a second on stratup office and when I open the NVIDIA Control Panalpina?

    It does just once after the start, but it do not do again until the next boot. It does start a few seconds after displaying the desktop when all go and whenever I open NVIDIA control Panal.

    I lost the NVIDIA Control Panalpina once I have updated my audio drivers once and I wanted to come back so I uninstalled my NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GT
    display driver. I even downloaded before you uninstall it and put it on the desktop. After uninstalling I went in remaining boot safe and deleted the files and the registry using Driver Sweeper and then booted back to normal startup. I reinstalled the NVIDIA drivers and then I had no internet, so I searched what was wrong and I found that he had removed my Chipset drivers, so I tried one I have downloaded a driver from memory card and it didn't work so I tried another and he got my internet connection to the Local network then turn it on and working.  Now he's doing a short black screen after startup, and he always had the short black screen when I had the front Panal control for NVIDIA. Why does do that?
    I have a NVIDIA Settings program in the taskbar that starts at startup. Could this be why? When I click on it, there is no less than a second before black screen indicating the icon options.

    you said this is because NVIDIA Control Panel to try to detect if there is any exist dual screen or any what extraordinary out - put connected devices.

  • How to retrieve a letter that I wrote about Wordpad. I recorded it, now I can't find it.

    Yesterday, I wrote a letter on Wordpad. I saved it, but now I can't the extractor it.

    If you have downloaded a document on the internet and opened in Word for editing this document is stored in the Windows temp folder.
    You should always save the document after having been published in another folder, and possibly under a different name to avoid dataloss because there is no guarantee that you keep the files in the temp folder.

    In Word, you can check if the automatic backups were created (undo history).

I have to then search for the word "Join" in the body of the email and delete it, and sometimes it works so email can be sent, but even that doesn't work sometimes. This has happened for many months and I have the latest version of Thunderbird - 31.5.0. Thank you!

  • How can I Center my images .jpg for photo paper?

    My new hp photosmart 7525 prints images, but the images are out of the Center, and a white border (between 0.5 and 2 cm wide) appears. Sometimes a singular boundary is along one side, sometimes along the perpendicular sides. Orientation seems to depend on which file is selected. These boundaries appear despite my selection of "print without margins" for paper glossy 4 x 6. HP technical support says that the problem is a problem of application (Windows Picture and Fax Viewer) and not a hardware one. I want a picture without any boundaries.

    Hello

    Ensure that the appropriate paper type and size has been selected in the printer properties

    Click on Start , settings and Printers .

    Right click on the HP Photosmart printer icon, then select Properties .
    Click Printing Preferences .
    Click on page layout .
    Click borderless printing .
    Among the options provided in the print borderless window, select the appropriate paper size and paper type.
    Click OK and then apply .
    Click OK to close the window
    If the main driver on the PC does not produce the desired boarderless prints, then I'll try using another driver, like the HP Deskjet 9800 or 6980 pilots, as a possible workaround.
