HowTo: identify the readonly/locked files in LightRoom

• Search engines not available, except in mode "Run as Administrator". delete the parent.lock file profiles did not help

  After the upgrade to 21 FF, search engines no longer appear in the bar at the top right of the screen, so no searches are possible. I can navigate to my favorites and apparently also to the links contained in the e-mails.

  If I right click on the FF icon and choose the "Run as Administrator" option, the search engines are there again. I tried to delete the parent.lock in the profiles folder, that this solution was solved a problem I've had recently with the previous version of FF (not being not able to open FF and getting the error message on another version of it running, which had to be closed in the first place - but there was no other version running.) In this case, too, before I discovered the solution, I could open FF using the option "Run as Administrator"). However deleting the parent.lock file does not resolve this issue.

  I would be grateful for your help, especially if a person not very computer like me can understand put in simple terms!

  You have the XML files including Google's default search engine in the browser\searchplugins file in the Firefox program folder?

  Try to remove the file search.json and a possible search.sqlite in the Firefox profile folder to reset the default search engines.

  Firefox will rebuild the file search.json from the default search engines in the browser\\searchplugins file in the Firefox program folder and the searchplugins folder in the Firefox profile folder.

• I do not understand the structure of files in lightroom

  I use ligtroom for a little while now, and I never really took the time to try to understand the structure of files in lightroom. Looking at it now, I'm totally confused.

  I'm on vacation and take tons of pictures and their import to my laptop (and an external hard drive).

  Since my trip is coming to an end, I'm wondering how to transfer all these catalogs to my office when I get home. Without messing up all the files that are already there.

  So I start looking at my Lightroom folders in my documents, and I like lightroom 6 6 develop records, 2 6 lightroom develop files previews.irdata, which I am unable to open and have no idea what is in them.

  And I have a folder on my desktop called new lightroom 6, which has a file called lightroom 6 in which has all my latest pix.

  How to consolidate this mess when I know not what is half of the files because I can't open most of them?

  Small question is - how to get catalogs and collections of my computer laptop lightroom app to my desktop lightroom app?

  Thank you

  Lightroom does not really use a file structure, it's a database.

  The photos must be in a folder somewhere in your operating system, and when you import a photo into Lightroom, the location of the actual folder and file name is entered in the Lightroom database, so now Lightroom knows where your photo.

  Now, I don't know it that all of these folders on your computer that you describe. You'll have to sort this possibility, somehow, perhaps by opening each folder Lightroom (not in your operating system) to see the benefits. Now, when you look in your operating system, you must find all the folders that contain pictures of Lightroom (you just find these files in the previous sentence), as well as the folder that contains your catalog and presets and preferences file. The default locations for these things and instructions to move your installation of Lightroom to another computer, are here: How can I move a computer to a new Lightroom?

• Could not import the RAW A7R2 files in Lightroom

  Having just downloaded and installed Lightroom 6 I still can't import RAW files from my A7R2 to Lightroom even though he has apparently taken over?

  Hi oliverd,.

  Please update the Lightroom version, that is to say Lightroom 6.1.1 and you would be able to import the images in Lr.

  Please let us know if it helps.

  Kind regards.

• Changing the names of file in Lightroom

  Due to a problem with the user I had implemented the incorrect year in Nikon D80.  When I import images in Lightroom the date becomes the first part of the file name

  for example 20090212_Mexico_HMP_0002.NEF

  So I was wondering how to change the date (Date time Original, Date time digitized to Date fields hour ad) in the EXIF section for 426 photographs.  If I can change that, I can use the library > order Photo rename to change the name of the file

  Thank you

  I think that if you select all from the display of the grid, then choose:

  Metadata > edit Capture time

  then fix the first photo of a specific capture time, I think it will adjust all others based on the amount needed to adjust one based on the following comment in the help file:

  "If more than one photo is selected in the grid, Lightroom changes the capture time for the active photo of the specified adjustment. (The active photo is presented as a preview in the Edit Capture time dialog box.) Other photos of the selection are adjusted by the same amount of time. If more than one photo is selected in the Filmstrip in Loupe mode, comparison, or investigation, the capture time is changed only on the active photo"

  I suggest you try it first on a few images.  There are probably other ways as well.

• Cannot perform action locks file is opened in Microsoft Office Excel

  I am trying to remove an addin in the add-in file and I get an error message that the file is open in Excel.    There is no open excel file.    The add-in does not work when there is an open excel file.   I suspect that there is a problem with the add-in because there is a copy of the file with a ~ in front of the name.  I would remove both copies and replace the add-in with a new copy, but I get an error message "Could not perform the action locks file is opened in Microsoft Office Excel".

• Edit the raw IDML file?

  I have here a document that hangs completely in CS5.

  It's an anchored frame and whenever I delete InDesign crashes.

  I tried exporting to IDML and opening it, but it still crashes CS5.

  Then I tried to open the IDML in Notepad, but this is nothing but the code, what seems strange to me, I thought it was supposed to be a variant of XML?

  in any case, I was wondering if it is possible to edit the raw IDML file so that I can remove the object embedded in the actual file.

  Possible?

  Eugene: an IDML file is a file of zip in disguise. If you're on a Mac you could open in that is Springy, look at its content and display its content XML right out of Springy to, say, TextWrangler. There, you can edit the file and write back to the IDML when closing the file with a "Save" of Springy. I'm sure someone can do it on Windows as well.

  The main problem is to identify the correct XML file (there are many; depends on the size of your InDesign project) and the discription of text right here frame. So if you can download the IDML on a public download site, I can try to get rid of the anchor text block. Of course I need a hint (some unique strings of text) to find the XML file.

  How have you tried to remove the text block? Have you tried using the editor for this mode (you could remove his sign to anchor here).

• PC crashed during 6 start Lightroom. Now open habit. Can not find the lock file

  Hello.

  My PC stops inexplicably while Lightroom 6 began and then just rebooted. (Windows 7 i7 PC)

  Now Lightroom does not start and a "Catalog Adobe" said dialog box could not be opened because another application has already opened it.

  A quick search on the internet said the locking file must delete, but I'm not. An Adobe help page shows me:[username]\Pictures\Lightroom\Lightroom 5 Catalog.lrcat.lock C:\Users\

  First of all, I'm on LR6 and my start up programs are on a small SSD. So if I navigate on this hard drive, then program file Adobe\Adobe Lightroom I see many files, then a may list files. None gives me a clue to what is a lock file or look like lrcat.lock.

  I'm not very savy on a PC and would be grateful of urgent assistance. I tried to uninstall the program and then reinstall, but in vain.

  Thank you very much.

  Hi andys62004617,

  lock file is located in the exact location as well as your catalog.

  Search under Pictures\Lightroom\ Catalog.lock of Lightroom and delete (do not remove the .lrcat files because it's your main catalog)

• Locking files Lightroom

  I want to use Lightroom 2 + separate work stations and edit files on a server. If I open a file server JPG file on a workstation for editing, it blocks the file and prevent the other workstation to modify the same file? Or it will at least give me a warning message that the file is in use?

  Lightroom does not lock files nor does it give a warning that he is already accessed. Thus, the two instances of Lr may access the same file at the same time. It only becomes a problem when the user tries to save the settings/developing metadata in the file of each instance of Lr. That is to say, we're going to crush the other. However, given that the original image is a JPEG I'm not sure there is much point savings development parameters in the file.

• How to identify the real dll and exe files on my computer

  How does determine a real/registered dll and exe on my windows xp files from those that should not be on my computer. I used the norton power Eraser and it identified suspicious files but I don't know which of them is genuine and should not be deleted? !!

  Hi rookley,.

  You have everything installed security software on your computer?

  You can check the location of the file from Dll files. Files that are saved in the System 32 files system and focus on the programs installed on your computer.

  For the file types that end with .exe extension are executable files.

  If you have the threat from the virus on the computer, you can run virus scan and check online if no malware or viruses detected on the computer activity. You can run the scan for viruses online from the link below: http://onecare.live.com/site/en-us/default.htm

  With norton power Eraser, Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

• How can I identify the name of the invisible file for a backup file successfully to an external hard drive USB2 separate? I use Windows Vista backup program (Service Pack 2),

  How can I identify the name of the invisible file for a backup file successfully to an external hard drive USB2 separate?  I use Windows Vista backup program (Service Pack 2), and I need to do backups plus two from other computers on the same external hard drive.  To do this, I think I would need to identify each backup file separate I know which file to specify if I need to do a restore.

  How can I accomplish this? The program does not seem to give me the ability to specify a file to which to write the backup during a given session files.  In addition, I do not understand why I can not see the file name in Windows Explorer - my files options are defined to be able to view hidden and system.  Would be grateful for any help you can provide, tonight if possible.   Best regards, Oliver for Norm

• The driver INF file: identify the OS Architecture of the driver inf file supported

  I'm trying to analyze the drivers INF file to identify the architecture of operating system supported by them. For this, I am referring to the MSDN ' SECTION MANUFACTURER INF ' link:

  http://msdn.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/Windows/hardware/ff547454 (v = vs. 85) .aspx

  I have an inf driver that includes a section of manufacturer as:

  [Manufacturer]

  HSD % = HSD, NTAMD64

  According to section manufacturer documentation given in the link above, the model INF Section name must be decorated with architecture support and therefore, "NTAMD64" suggests that the driver is valid for a Windows 64-bit operating system. But, which suggests "HSD" ?

  What operating system doesn't make it references to? How to identify with this? It only supports 32-bit OS or 32 and 64 bit OS.
