Import automatically creates a new folder and I don't want it.

Hey there ' All,.

Lightroom is using for a few years now, and I understood the thought. just installed it on a new computer and now when I import new photos from an SD card, the program creates files and I don't want it. I manually create my own records and want to disable this feature. Anyone know how?

Thank you.

Barry

Hi Barry,.

Please uncheck the option in the subfolder and select one folder in the Destination panel in the import dialog box.

Let me know if it helps.

    Only time that happens, in my limited, knowledge is... If you use a 'illegal' name, such as ":" symbol. There are symbols, that you cannot use as part of a name. When this happens, you should get a warning indicating that the name is not allowed, something to that effect. Then he returns itself back to the new folder.
    Suggest you try again with conventional names. See if it works or not.

  • I moved the files in Lightroom 5 from one drive to another (created the new folder and dragged).  Now I see warning of metadata.  What has caused this?  Can I import or rewrite the difficulty catalogue?

    I am reorganizing lots of photos in Lightroom 5.  Some who were on my hard drive, I moved to an external drive.  I did all this in Lightroom.  I created a new folder on the hard drive, external, selected all the images in the folder on the hard disk, trained to the new folder.  Made sure they were there.  Then deleted the folder on the hard drive.  When I looked in Windows Explorer, the (empty) folder was still on the hard drive, so I deleted it there too.  Now, I get the warning on the images in the new folder metadata were changed in Lightroom and an external program.  The options are to import from disk or rewrite from the catalog.  I would like to know what caused this and how to fix it.

    Thanks for the clarification of Nancy.

    The warning of "metadata conflicts" is an indication that Lightroom "sees" a discrepancy between the data in its catalog and the data in the image file (or in the xmp file) on the real situation which could be due to permissions at the new location.

    You should choose the option to replace the parameters, that is, rewrite in the Lightroom Catalog can write changes to metadata of the catalog itself.

    (Import of the disc would cancel the metadata changes that you did until now)

  • LR 5.7 - impossible to create a new folder and import photos in this folder [was: could Adobe Lightroom Fix so that it is functional?]

    I can't believe that after use adobe for years that lightroom can be this difficult to maneuver - please fix this intuitive user program. It is so far for simplicity of use. Please fix or return to support the opening. My images/files and folders are a total disaster.

    .. .you you create a folder and cannot import directly in this folder, etc.

    Perhaps the difficulty here, comes to design two sequential tasks, rather than one integrated task, for example:

    • Make a folder, manually put the pictures in there, then go and find this place AGAIN, for an import with TDA
    • Create a folder, and then to go and find this place again as an import with the copy destination

    No one who is attractive to me. Lightroom is IMO more useful when rationalizing away the boring stuff.

    LR can make the file for YOU and drop the images into that, according to your instructions, while import.

    "Let's say that my system was focused on the year at the top level, then the month, then records a day in this framework, each preceded the date in a format standard, so-called ' 2016 - 07 - 16. LR can run it for me immediately, as an automatic process of hands-free and without error. So if I want to, after import, I can add a descriptive text (customer, situation, whatever) on a given from LR folder name.

    Otherwise I want can I have LR just go a standard parent folder and then type a name of subfolder custom in the dialog import (Destination Board) in order to meet the specific needs of this - if not automated - import with a copy. Type in certain keywords lot too, perhaps.

    IOW: remember that an import preset to re - initialize the import settings and individualize then from there. But I prefer the former kind Setup that even if you do not individualize that is offered to all, always not something that auto-fichiers images in a useful and meaningful way. I do not customize folder names myself, so this just just there.

  • Create the new folder and showed it in the folder Panel

    In my plugin, I want to create a subdirectory in my picture folder and showed in the folder Panel.

    The first part was not easy...

    After it is created, it is the empty dishes.

    Question: How can I get this new folder in the folders Panel.

    Even there I try "synchronize folder.." it does not appear.

    I think that the only way to get the file appear in the files via a plugin Panel is to import a photo of this file, using catalog:addPhoto ().

  • Why I can not create a new folder in Windows Contacts and rename it?

    I keep my contacts in Windows Contacts, divided into folders named category.  In the past, I was able to press the button "New folder" to create a new folder, and then rename the folder.  Now, I can create a new folder, but Windows doesn't allow me the no - name.  As soon as I type the name of the new folder and press ENTER, it goes back on behalf of the "new folder". Can someone explain what happened?

    If possible, although I honestly don't see how the shortcut should influence.  Try this, just delete your shortcut, then take the icon on the left side of the address bar of the 'work' contacts folder and drag your desktop and drop it.  This example is part of a control panel, but it works the same:

  • Create a new folder or change the name of a folder on the desktop does not display until I use the refresh command

    After changing the name of a folder or a file on the desktop or by creating a new folder (and then hit enter), the folder or the text file doesn't change - until I use the Refresh command. Then, the text shows correctly and the movements of folder or a file in a place open to the top left of the screen. Before using "Refresh" the folder or the file will not open. When I save a file on the desktop is not visible until the 'Refresh' is used. Sometimes, but not always the same behavior occurs in other folders as well.  I use Win XP SP3. Can someone please shed some light on this?

  • new file is empty. Cannot create a new folder. How can I fix it?

    When I click on "FILE" 'NEW', it is 'empty'. "." I can't create a new folder.  How can I change this so that it shows the folder?  Also.  When I chick on a hypertext link, I get a message that, because of the restriction on the computer, I can't access the hyper link.  How can I change this so that I go to the hyperlink?  Thank you

    Hi Bennie,.

    1. are you referring to any program or folder?

    2 is the limited issue while accessing the hyperlink for any program in particular?

    3 is. your computer connected to a network of area?

    Try the following and see if it helps.

    Method 1:

     

    Try using the command prompt and try to create a new folder and check if you can create a.

    To do this, follow the steps below:

    a. Click Start.
    b in the start search box type CMD and press to enter.
    c. type cd... publicity and press ENTER, repeat the cd... and press ENTER until you have c:
    d. now, type the following at the command prompt:mkdir folder_name

    Here, folder_name is the name of desired folder

    e. check if the folder is created in the C drive.


    Method 2:

    Try to disable the third-party security software and check.

    Disable security software: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Disable-antivirus-software

    Note: If you need to temporarily disable the security software, you should reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.


    Method 3:

    I suggest you perform a SFC Scan and check.

  • Cannot create a new folder name

    Cannot create a new folder and name it.  The name I give always comes back again record when I hit enter.

    I'm assuming that happens with all new folders in the special folder that you use and that you use a "legal" name for the folder - but that is determined when you answer questions of Malke.

    It's maybe a permissions issue.  You will have to perhaps take full rights on the folder or even take in charge of the case.

    To view your permissions, right-click on the file/folder, click Properties, and check the Security tab.  Check the permissions you have by clicking on your user name (or group of users).  Here are the types of permissions, you may have: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-are-permissions.  You must be an administrator or owner to change the permissions (and sometimes, being an administrator or even an owner is not sufficient - there are ways to block access (even if a smart administrator knows these ways and can move them - but usually should not because they did not have access, usually for a very good reason).)  Here's how to change the permissions of folder under Vista: http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-vista/set-file-folder-permissions-vista/.  To add take and the issuance of right of permissions and ownership in the right click menu (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/05/21/take-and-grant-full-control-permissions-and-ownership-in-windows-7-or-vista-right-click-menu/.

    To resolve this problem with folders, appropriating the files or the drive (as an administrator) and give you all the rights.  Right-click on the folder/drive, click Properties, click the Security tab and click on advanced and then click the owner tab.  Click on edit, and then click the name of the person you want to give to the property (you may need to add if it is not there--or maybe yourself). If you want that it applies to subfolders and files in this folder/drive, then check the box to replace the owner of subcontainers and objects, and click OK.  Back and now there is a new owner for files and folders/player who can change the required permissions.  You can change now switched to read-only (even if the main folder indicates that they are always read-only - you can access yourself as the owner).  You can keep them in read-only to other users, customers and administrators even (although they can support themselves and access, if they wish, and it is really not that you can do to stop it except protect the file with a password by using a 3rd party product.)  Here is more information on the ownership of a file or a folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html.  To add take ownership in the menu of the right click (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/.
