Is it possible to manually organize your files, i.e. photos?

I want my photos arranged in the exact order that I took them.  They are different cameras with different file names, so their reorganization by name, it is of no use to me, and in some cases the date has not been set, so accommodating by date does not work.  In all other Windows programs, I was able to move them manually myself for the places where they belong.  I can't do that in this new Windows and it's absolutely maddening.  Is there a possible way to do this without having to rename each of my photos?

Hello

It seems that the ability to do so has been disabled in Windows 7 and 8 to win... I wasn't happy either.

I got lucky and found this site that addresses the issue and at the bottom of the page, provides a link to download a batch of RegEdit file to restore this ability in most conditions.

I've used it since Win 7 came out, and I now use it on Windows 8 Pro.

    Why have removed the ability to manually sort the files and folders? Having the ability to rearrange the files and folders is common sense and the need in some of my work.

    Hi bcwups

    Whenever you ask the question 'why', the only possible answers you will get on a support forum are just speculation or conjecture.

    The only people who can answer the question are people who take design decisions, and they don't usually respond to questions here.

    If you wish to submit your comments and thoughts on the design of Windows 7, you can use the following online feedback form.

    Windows 7 comments - talk us at Microsoft

    There are places you can go to get some insights into the 'why' of individual decisions are made. Many Microsoft Windows developers have their own blogs where they publish articles that are sometimes very transparent and revealing. Here is a link to the parent for these items.

    Home - MSDN Articles

    Another good resource is the blog that Windows developers used during the beta of Windows 7. If you look at the archived articles, (more than 60) they described the 'why' of a large number of features that have been changed/added/removed from Windows 7.

  • Organization of file/folder on your drive

    This is a fundamental question about the best way to organize your photo files / media that best suits to find them in Bridge.   Currently, I have many, many sub folders that somehow a bit lame, rank the files in the events and dates - of thousands of photos.  I am trying to assign keywords and renaming (Fortunately it isn't too big of a task in bridge), but I want to be able to filter or 'see' as those who have a set of specific keywords.  Which doesn't seem to work in all of the subfolders.

    I'm probably missing something and I'll be honest, I'm not a reader of documents (I'm a man).

    Then, how everyone organizes their ' stuff ' on the hard drive to optimize the characteristics of bridge?

    Thanks in advance,

    Research work to the bottom of the tree of directories of the starting point.  In order to choose your high starting point enougth if you want to search files will be included.  This assumes of course these subfolders are indexed.

  • Organize your desktop automatically by DATE Photos

    Hello

    I have a small concert photo editing that come to me (by email), all day, like a daily assignment. It can be of 3 photos, it may be 50. But they all get made and sent this day there. I have... 2 computers. We are old and for my photography only (a brick, but a giant screen). When I download pictures from my camera it automatically creates folders by date in Lightroom and it's very nice - to me. I understand that a LOT of people hate organization photography by date, but it works. If I went to Yosemite on 22 August, I'll remember that and search for that date.

    Nevertheless, with this editing work, on my main computer, I have a new version of Lightroom and it works just not for me. I want to have a record for the 07/10/16 function when the photo was imported, not based on me literally creating a folder and typing on. How can I get Lightroom to create a new folder for each import? I don't want to spend time, not getting paid, creating folders to folders on my computer just to organize the photos every day - is not point of Lightroom to, at least in some way, help to literally to organize your photos? Automatically?

    My apologies if I'm missing some HUGE key point here!

    Thanks in advance!

    I want to have a record for the 07/10/16 function when the photo was imported,

    Lightroom to create folders by date of capture. This seems different from what you're talking about, you have the ability to create folders by date of importation. Lightroom which does not (unless the date of importation is identical to the date of capture).

    It's not clear to me why you want the date of the photo was imported, what's not with the help of the built-in functionality of Lightroom that creates folders by date of capture?

    It is also not clear to me that in the future, you will remember that you have imported the photos of Yosemite on 07/10/16, and I don't think that this is a good method in the long term, unless you have a better memory of anyone I have ever met (and I am very skeptical that you have such a great memory) , years from now you will not remember the date that you imported photos. If you use the word Yosemite to organize, you will remember that and you won't have to stop and think what day you imported photos.

    isn't the point of Lightroom to, at least in some way, help to literally to organize your photos? Automatically?

    My apologies if I'm missing some HUGE key point here!

    Yes,'re missing you a few points here. First of all, no software can anticipate all the possible needs of the user, it's records by date of importation (based on my experience of reading these similar forums and) organizing method rather rarely discussed, I don't remember someone ask before, so that the files by date of capture is a common way of doing things. That would explain why Lightroom isn't a feature to create folders by date of importation.

    The other point that you are missing, it's that Lightroom has been designed to provide organizing tools that are not easily available in your operating system. These are things like keywords, captions, titles, collections, the coast stars, flags of choice and a host of other things. and it also provides research tools to help you find pictures with specific metadata. Of course, Lightroom also has access to the tools available in your operating system, such as the creation of files with specific names. That's what you want to do, and Lightroom can do for you, just the same as the fact of your operating system. You create the file with specific name and then put the photos here, just as you can do with your operating system.

    Make your life so much easier to assign the keyword Yosemite to these pictures and then use this keyword Yosemite to get these photos in the future, it eliminates the cognitive task extremely difficult to remember the date of the importation of thousands (tens of thousands?) pictures and replace this with the extremely simple method to keep in mind that the photos were taken in Yosemite We must look at Yosemite. This is the brilliance of Lightroom, the power of Lightroom, it eliminates difficult cognitive tasks and replaces them with cognitive tasks extremely simple.

  • Use folders to organize your bookmarks

    No "new folder" in Firefox on OS X 10.6.8 (can't access "On Firefox" while it is open?)

    You can open the bookmark manager?

    You can find "Show Favorites" in the drop-down list that appears if you click on the star on the address bar and "Show all bookmarks" in the bookmarks menu.

    You should find a "New folder" item in the menu to organize.
    It is the first button on the toolbar in the Manager of bookmarks (library).

    There are three main folders of bookmarks and bookmarks can be created only in one of these folders and its subfolders.

    • The folder "Personal bar" stores the bookmarks that you see in the bookmarks toolbar (Firefox > Options or view > toolbars).
    • "Bookmarks Menu" file stores the bookmarks that display in the bookmarks menu and are created through ' bookmarks > bookmark this Page "or" bookmark this link "in the context menu.
    • The "Unsorted Bookmarks" folder stores created bookmarks by clicking on the star on the right end of the address bar.

    I know that it is possible to use versions of file on the SSD and iCloud drive for example for numbers by going back to the old versions.

    When I use a NAS functionality is not usable with a Synology for example.

    Is it possible to use the versions of the files with the files saved on a Time Capsule?

    BR

    Excellent question.

    I just tried it... to see what is happening.

    I was able to come back as long as the document is open... but I got the warning below as soon as I close the document.

    Of course that stores the file directly to the CT... I have not test what will happen if you save the file to the virtual disk... that might work... and could run even on the synology. A virtual disk is very different to directly save your files.

    See Q3 here on establishing a dmg which you can also do it on the synology.

  • BlackBerry smartphones to organize your music and podcasts.

    Greetings!

    I need a multimedia application for my desktop which will allow me to organize the music and podcasts, and then transfer them on my 8350i. Currently, I use a Zune and its software, but want to start using the BB for convenience.

    I am running Vista and apparently its incompatible with the Media Manager (spent all day with technical support, no response) I can drag and drop individual songs from the Explorer to the BB, but not playlists or albums.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated! (if you haven't guessed, I know squat about computers, the non-technical answers would be most useful)

    If your files are organized on your PC: with all the songs of an album, in a folder and playlist from the album in this folder then you can simply drag-and - drop whole album. Then the playlist will be recognized by the appliance.

    Alternatively, you can use 'appl itunes' or 'windows media player' on your PC and then use BlackBerry Media Sync 2.0 on your PC, allowing you to synchronize the music between iTunes/WMP playlists and your multimedia Application on your BlackBerry.

    Media Sync is free.

  • Is it possible to open a pdf file so that it is not full screen?

    All PDFs on my site seem to open snce the entire width of the latest version of Adobe Acrobat has been inrtroduced some time ago. If you have a 800 x 600 screen that is not a problem, but mine is 1900 or so wide, and the text is too big to open the entire width.

    Is it possible to open them up to 100% to the link step?

    I'm assuming that you create your own PDF file.

    In this case, open your document, press Ctrl + D (Win) or command-D (Mac) and you could choose Page Layout options that you want your users to display by default. Then save your file. Acrobat retains your default preferences on other systems.

    In Final Cut Pro 7, you can use editing > find command to search on used clips in the sequence. See if there is an equivalent command in FCE. Unfortunately, I can't determine that at first hand on my system.
