If I merge two catalogs that overlap, how can I keep all the data?

Somewhere in the LR update process in two or three months, I did inadvertently and unknowingly create a second identical catalog. No problem, really, except that I have somehow added to and then edited into two catalogues. This week realized my mistake. I don't know how to return to a single catalog. Each catalog has now has hundreds of unique files and publishes, in addition to the 50 k + files that existed before my error. I need all files and changes; If I merge the two catalogs, I keep all the data? I was about to try an approach of the worksheet using ListView of John Beardsworth plugin, exported to a spreadsheet and calculate unique values, but it is perhaps a bigger than the fusion learning curve, especially if I can keep all changes. I looked at the fusion of information on the pages of LR, but I think I need more information about what the merger is doing with all the data. I want to be sure before proceeding. Similar experiences?

Hello

The merger would not affect the collections. All collections should be there in this merged catalog.

In order to filter images that have different metadata (it comes to virtual copies):

1. Select the folder under which you want to search for virtual copies, or you can select all the photos under catalog Panel.

2. click on menu Photo > stacking > expand all stacks

3. click on menu library > filter by genre > virtual Copies

  • How can I view all the elements of an array?

    Hello

    I'm learning about the handling of tables.  The example finder includes this one, 'build array_forum.vi', which shows the two modes, concatenate and adding, I understand, HOWEVER, I can't understand how they built this vi.  For example, I can find the Array function to build, but I do not understand how they created the "digital data table 1" "data table 2" digital... etc, and I can't find the functions on the pallets that cause display "build the CONCATENATE entries table". ".  Where are these blue functions?

    Where these functions are found in the palette, and how we build them like that?

    The other vi indicated here, 'for loop array_forum.vi' is my attempt to reproduce, but it doesn't show all the elements of the array; However, it only displays a SINGLE element, the last element of the array.  How can I view all the items in the table I am creating using the FOR LOOP?

    How can I copy all the 18 000 pictures on my imac to an external hard drive to give to my daughter and keep them all on my imac

    Your daughter have a Mac and use Photos? If so just copy your library of Photos to SMT, it must be formatted OS X Extended (journaled) with the defined property is ignored. Then she can use the SMT library or copy it on his Mac.

    If she doesn't have a Mac do the following:

    1 - Create a new folder on the external drive.

    2 - Select all photos in the library (in the window of Photos).

    3. Select the file ➙ ➙ export export Original unmodified for XXXXX items menu option.

    4. in the format of subfolder select Export window = name of the time

    5. in the next window, select the folder that you created on the external drive as the destination of export and export all your photos to this. Photos at every moment in your photo library will be put in a folder with the date of that moment and this issue will be put on the EHD in the folder that you created.

    You can (and should) get the free mp3tag: http://www.mp3tag.de/en/

    Install mp3tag.  When you install, let it be added to the context menus (an option during installation).

    Open mp3tag and in tools, Options, Tags, Mpeg do option Write ID3v2.3 ISO-8859-1. Those are tags favorite rocket, and once make you it by default, whenever you save tags in mp3tag you will get tags Fuze and respectful.

    Your albums may not be labeled at all, or may be marked in ID3v1, who will not read the "rocket". So he goes to the title, if there is a title tag or file name if there are no tags.

    You can now right click on an album folder and see mp3tag as an option to open it. When you click mp3tag, you'll see the files listed. Put them in order from top to bottom - you can try clicking on the header of the track-number or the name of the header file if they are 01-Track 1. If you can align them up and down, highlight all the and click Dial automatic tools Wizard with the option of leading zeros. Bingo: Track numbers 01, 02, 03, and they will play in the order.

    Sometimes people put numbers to track on the file names and they list in alphabetical order by song title - not good. If the "rocket" Impossible to find track numbers and the name of the file is FirstSongTitle-01 (rather than 01-FirstSongTitle), the "rocket" will play them in alphabetical order by name of file: FirstSong, FifthSong, FourthSong, SecondSong, SixthSong, ThirdSong. Then you will have to put in one of the track numbers.

    It is relatively simple as you use and that you want to use WLM.

    You will need to copy a folder from where it is (the old installation) to another place where you know it will be (for example on your desktop)

    The folder is c:\users\your user name\app data (if it is not there, see the note below) \local\microsoft\

    At that point you will see a folder named oddly enough "windows live mail" copy on your desktop

    If you don't see the app data because it is invisible atm.  To make it visible, you need to go to your control panel > folder options > view > change to hidden folders (see figure)

    Once you have mail backed up on your desktop (or where ever) drag the folder from the desktop to the location for the new WLM (once again we C;-... just like above).  Just make sure that WLM does not run in time.  What wont be imported, it of passwords and rules.

    Accounts and data should now be in the new WLM when you open it.

    The left pane is a "choose one". "All photos" are just that. 'G' is a different option.

    Lightroom is not a file Explorer. He knows only the drives and files that you have imported the photos of. If LR shows not all of the photos that are on your hard drive, it is because you did not import all photos.

    If LR shows you a photo in "all photos" but do not show it in the folder you think he is in, go to "all photos", select the image, right click "view in the library folder. This will show you where LR think the picture is.

  • How can I automatically populate the date field after only one "digitally signs" a .pdf form? Help, please! Thank you!

    How can I automatically populate the date field after only one "digitally signs" a .pdf form? Here's a sample:

    _ Digital Signature___ (signs), Date (Auto-remplit)

    Under field properties of the signature on the signature tab, you can use a custom script, like this:

    this.getField("Date").value = util.printd ("mm/dd/yyyy", new Date());

    You know, however, that a digital signature always displays the date and time, it has been applied?
