Import from another catalog - cannot select the catalog items

I'm trying to merge a temporary catalog, I started on my laptop in my 'main' catalog - both are v5.7.1.  I exported the photos from my laptop in a directory on my NAS, including raw files.  I see the catalog so all the 5,000 or if raw files it.

Next step - import catalog in my catalog 'main' - where the problem occurs.  I can't select all items in the catalogue - they have dimmed, and I can't click on it to select it.  See screen capture below:

LR Catalog import err.png

I have reason to believe that it is a matter of import rather than an export problem, because if I copy the exported catalog to a location not connected to the network and that you open in LR, I see pictures of 5000-ish.  I can't merge via import.

I could really use a helping hand in this regard, because I spent a good bit of time, to the note of these files over the weekend, and I wouldn't just as quickly again.

I wonder if this is due to the fact that the exported catalog (any one) resides on a network drive.  I tested this feature, last winter (Re: import / export of files between computers on a wireless network) and it works perfectly.  But LR will not allow the primary catalog be stored on a network drive, then maybe it is linked in a way that I find with my tests.

I suggest to export a catalog little test with just a few pictures and place the catalog and photos on a locally connected drive.  If it works, this indicates a workaround solution that bothers.

  • Cannot import from another catalog

    Lightroom is (or I) get confused in the attempt to import from another catalog.

    I shot 193 images. I imported the to my catalog on my desktop computer. Decide later that I wanted to edit on the road, I copied (using the operating system) photographs for the catalog of my laptop. I edited the and then exported the folder as a catalogue, deciding not to export the negative files too since that they were already on my desktop.

    Back on the desktop, I tried to "import an another catalog" (by selecting the catalog on my key USB has more of the laptop). But all were grayed out and it wouldn't let me check the files at the top left under catalog content. I think the other options said 'New photos (found nothing)' and "Changed (Nothing found) existing photos." Under "existing photos that are missing," said he found 193, but it made no difference what choice I made there, because the import tab is grey.

    Thinking that Lightroom was not aware that the 193 pictures on desktop and laptops were one and the same, I went back to the laptop and this time this export negative files too. Then I deleted the original folder of photos, who intend to import from the catalog again, this time with the negative of files in my Office catalogue. For Lightroom have forgotten they ever existing on the desktop. But the same problem still occurs in the dialog box - it wont let me select the folders, the photos are grayed out and import the button is too.

    Anyone know why I can not import anything from this catalogue?

    Thank you!

    I does not solve the problem but I have found an acceptable workaround. I restored the images that I had deleted in the original folder and then copied the files .xmp of images published on the laptop (using the file manager), paste it into the original folder on the desktop and then said LR to replace the original metadata. It is not the same as importing the catalog, but it is good enough for now.

  • Import from another catalog

    I try to import a catalog (travel images) in my main catalog.

    Using the file/import from another catalog, the option of copy new Photos again location and import does not appear in my options dialog box.  I can't find any user preferences specific to import that affects it.  I scoured Adobe LR help, nothing helps.

    If the trip catalog and photos are all on an external hard drive, USB stick or SD card the normal sequence is:

    1. Connect the support/device to the main computer

  • Import from another catalog problem

    Hi there anyone able to provide assistance.

    I have 834 images in a catalog that I captured on an assignment and would like to import into my main catalog on my desktop.

    When I select import into another catalogue (launched from my catalog of office), I get the following dialog box. The problem is I can see no sign of these files anywhere on my main catalog either through Lightroom or Explorer and for some reason usually allow me to save all 834 files in this catalog. I even tried to change the file names of all 834 files with the same result.

    I do not want to import these files through the import method, as I have already done editing files and would like to keep these corrections.

    I am a loss as what to do next - anyone with any suggestions?

    Robert

    Hi Boley

    • Open the catalog from the old
    • In Lightroom (library Module) go to the library > find all missing Pictures(Menu bar)
    • Also check how many photos does in all of the photographs
    • Check how many of them is missing (a new option will appear photographs of missing persons)

    Lack of files in the develop Module, they will have to tick ' ! . Sign

  • Import from another catalog on 6.3

    Hello

    during the holidays I was editing my photos on my laptop (OS X el capitan + LR 6.3)

    After the hloidays I exported the images of catalogue,

    And then try to import them on my desktop (Win10 + LR6.3), loads of catalogue, see the number of photos (but not able to load the pictures), began importing, but then said it was impossible to copy images to the destination folder.

    Before LR6 it worked without problem, but now I'm stuck.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you

    Antoine

    I wonder if the emphasis on the letter e in the 2015\decembre\27

    This plausible. LR has a number of bugs in handling of non-ASCII, including at least a couple characters in file paths.  She also can get confused by different case in paths, for example "December" and "December", even if it is supposed to ignore the case.

  • LR stall during "import from another catalog.

    I did it without problem for years, but now LR takes a lot of time to process.  This particular file is over 200 images.  Any suggestions?  Thank you

    Thanks for the update.

    Go to the Lightroom preferences > file handling > increase the space of gross Camera cache at the upper end (about 60-70 GB) and then, check

    It also depends on your quality of previews.

    If the quality of the preview is set 1 / 1 or standard, which may cause the delay.

  • Images not showing Up when importing from another photographer catalog

    I am an editor for a wedding photographer and I had this problem happens often, and I don't know what is the cause. I can see all the information behind the image, the ranking and if there is no previous editing on it, but the image itself is not displayed. The photographer sends on the catalogue, forecasting and intelligent preview. There are moments that all transfer perfectly and other times the images are not there.

    We tried to delete everything on both ends and start making sure that everything is done correctly, but it still happens. I tried to discuss with the support, but they have not been able to help. Whenever this happens, I lose money because I can't be their editor. We have both the most recent LR so it's not the question.

    How we are currently transferring Weddings:

    She takes is export as catalog with preview and intelligent preview. Once it's she will post the three files (catalogue, smart overview and overview) on Dropbox and sends them on. When I get it, I download the catalog of smart zip preview and preview of the zip. Once downloaded, I extract the prediction and intelligent preview. Can I go to file > import from another catalog... I click on the catalog file and select choose.  Sometimes it works and other times it does not.

    What we're doing wrong?

    OK, so after talking with Adobe on two different days, then post it here, I called Adobe and they set about 5 minutes. Here's what he once let him access my computer...

    (1) closed LR

    (2) he checked my monitor has been fixed by default sRGB as shown above.

    (3) then it went to the folder and change the smart preview to a different name by putting .old to the end

    (4) then instead of extracting the zip file it opens the zip file and copied the file and pasted with other files

    (5) opened LR and images where it!

  • Cannot "import and copy it to the new location" when imported into another catalog

    I have only one LR Master catalog on my desktop computer (Mac Pro). When I shoot on location, I use my laptop (MacBookPro retina), with an external HD which stores a temporary catalog of 'Place' LR and photos. Both machines run the Mavericks. When I go home, I connect the external drive 'place' to my desktop, choose "Import an another catalog" and navigate to the catalog 'Place' on the external HD normally I have the option "import and copy to a new location, so that the new originals are moved to my master of library of images on an internal HD dedicated in the MacPro. After the upgrade to 5.6 LR, I no longer get this option in the dialog box. What Miss me? I've done this dozens of times without problem.Click image for larger version.   Name: Import_from_Catalog_“2014_Tonga”.jpg  Views: 0  Size: 83.3 KB  ID: 5085

    There is plenty of space to move the originals to another destination.

    Sorry - Here's the screenshot for this forum...

    In addition, it seems that I solved the problem by starting the 'Place' of the HD catalogue externally while connected to desktop MacPro and its closure. After that, the option 'Import and copy to a new location' appeared. Don't know why this time did not differ many other times I did it, but at least it's fixed!

    Thank you, Sean. I found out what I needed to know to fix the DIF from a document from hp customer service.

Then I desconnected the cable from the computer, wait 5 seconds and plugged.

    Hey,.
    I want to select the next item, but I have no idea about it? have you any suggestions?
    for example:
    the second element is currently selected, I need to select the third in my code, how can I implement this feature?
    private IntegerProperty index = new SimpleIntegerProperty();
    
        public final double getIndex() {
            return index.get();
        }

        }
    
        public IntegerProperty indexProperty() {
            return index;
        }
    

    Get the selected item:

    table.getSelectionModel().selectedItemProperty().addListener(new ChangeListener() {
    
                @Override

  • Project imported from another computer, the audio files are jumping or any waveform?

    Hey everybody,

    I import a project from another version to date of first Pro CC 2014, it was working fine on another computer but on import some audio in the order and in the source monitor are jump or play just back all choppy as a bad CD. Some audio in the Control Panel Assembly have no waveform. I tried to replace some, that works, but there are a LOT of audio to replace and I'm not 100% sure those who read evil or of the previous editor.

    I visited, re-rendering, clear cache and it always does. I'm not sure what is the problem. Also sometimes when I try to make the entire project for the preview, it gives me 'cannot compile the film' unknown error.

    Any advice/help would be appreciated. Thank you!

    Pense thought to it, here's what I did in the case where someone has a similar problem - had to remove manually everything in the 'Clean' media Cache files did not really work. Am entered and removed everything for re - conform files, worked for some files, but not all. Turns out that on the other drive, there were some PEK and CFA project hidden files in this local disk. I searched .cfa files both .pek and all removed so first can regenerate new ones.  Things work now
