Lightroom deletes the wrong files! -WARNING

http://regex.info/blog/2013-06-10/2268

WARNING WARNING WARNING

One thing I don't like is a bug related to publish very dangerous which remains in the final 5.0, which can bring you to remove your master images without even realizing account!

The problem is thatindicated in a publication rack selection can be not the real game of selected images, and so when you intend to perform operations (update metadata, delete images, export, etc.) on what you see as the selected images, it might not happen... a completely a different set of images may be affected (updated, remove, exported).

I noticed a similar problem when sending images more in PS. but since the library view.

I select images in LR and send their PS. I edit in PS and close them.

then I go back to LR and select different photos 'try' send them to the PS... instead the SAME images I selected before (and are now disabled) must send to the PS

Thank God I did not remove one of my photos. But if I had deleted the selection-> puff.

of course, I have backups... but this does not alter the seriousness of this bug.

It doesn't always happen. of course not... these nasty bugs happen randomly.

Stay away from LR 5.

Let's stick to this topic please, personal insults are not acceptable here.

Yes, there is a bug that is being investigated, and it's good for people to know about it, so they can avoid it, but let's be cautious and scaremongering.  It seems he has been around for a long time.

Jeffrey has updated his blog - http://regex.info/blog/2013-06-12/2270

To be on the safe side, avoid to remove photos from a view of Publishing Services for now.

  • In Lightroom, after that I turned my RAW files to DNG can I delete the original files?

    In Lightroom 5, after that I turned my RAW files to DNG can I delete the original files? I am fill hard drives at time (or so it seems) and I remember someone once telling me that after I converted my dng files RAW versions, I could delete my original RAW files.

    Is this true?

    Ideas?

    Entry?

    Thank you!

    Yes, you can remove the original RAW files once convert you them to DNG. The only downside is that if you want to use the software from the manufacturer of the camera for a reason, so key information that can be used by the software manufacturer is deleted in the conversion from RAW to DNG.

  • import 1 file to the wrong file. How to correct?

    import 1 file to the wrong file. How to correct?

    First of all, make sure that you have backups of all your photos before doing this.

    In Lightroom, drag the folder in the Control Panel folder to the new location of the file where you want it to be.

    Another method: in your operating system, COPY (and not move) the photos where you want them to be. then in Lightroom with the right button on the folder and select the folder location of updated and point to the new location of the photos; Once this does not work, delete pictures from their original location using your operating system.

  • Cannot delete the plist file system.

    My Time Machine is not automatically back up my drive. He worked for some time (don't know why) and then stops working automatically. I tried to implement the procedure laid down by Linc Davis, delete the file com.apple.TimeMachine.plist, but make the message: 'com.apple.TimeMachine.plist' cannot be changed or deleted because it is required by OS X.  I tried to change the permissions in the file information window to include Administrator Read and Write (only has this permission system. Which translates the message: "the operation cannot be performed because you don't have the necessary authorization."

    Using the terminal window and sudo rm command produces the same message.

    I do a backup manually through the system preferences window, but it shows immediately that a backup disk has not been selected. Next time, I select the backup disk, perform a manual backup. Repeat the next time, I have run a manual backup.

    10.11.1 on new iMac, retina 5 K with 16 GB of memory running. Has made a migration to this previous computer Mac Pro 10.7.5.

    Also the Time Machine backup drive icon backup weather icon to see the Machine. Relaunch the Finder does not fix issue.

    Question: How can I delete the plist file?

    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    A bug in OS X 10.11.1 prevents automatic backups that happens when a desktop Mac (iMac, Mac mini or Mac Pro) is connected to a UPS (UPS) with the USB feature.

    Please, back up all data before proceeding.

    First, check the App Store for a later update to OS X. If it is available when you read this review, install it and see if the problem is resolved. I speak not beta versions.

    Otherwise, you can work around the bug as follows.

    These must be run as administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.

    Please triple - click anywhere in the line below on this page to select:

    sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine RequiresACPower 0

    Copy the selected text in the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination.

    Launch the Terminal application integrated in one of the following ways:

    ☞ Enter the first letters of his name in a Spotlight search. Select from the results (it should be at the top).

    ☞ In the Finder, select go utilities ▹ of menu bar or press the combination of keys shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.

    Paste in the Terminal window by pressing the command-V key combination. I tested these instructions only with the Safari browser. If you use another browser, you may need to press the return key after pasting. You will be asked for your login password. Nothing displayed when you type. Type carefully, and then press return. If you do not have a password, you will need to configure one before you can run the command. You can get a warning to be careful. Confirm. You don't need to display the warning.

    If you see a message that your user name "is not in the sudoers file", then you have not logged as an administrator. Log in as one and start over.

    Wait for a new line ending with a dollar sign ($) below what you entered. You can then quit Terminal.

    Restart the computer and test.

  • TDMS-2503 error recovery - delete the index file does not

    My team worked an acquisition of data on some test machines, and I went today to begin the analysis of the data.  It turns out that two of the TDMS files that we generated cannot be opened in Diadem, Excel or use the controls file TDMS Opend in LabVIEW.  I also tried the repair of PDM tool, with the same result.  The test machine has since been demolished, so there is no way to re - run tests.  Is it possible to have the files was looking to see if all the data can be recovered?

    The files were generated with LabVIEW 2013 SP1.  Attemtped to open them in the same version of LabVIEW, and Diadem 2015, and the importer of excel (excel 2010).

    TDMS files are rather large (> 1 GB), but the tdms_index files that were generated with them were 0kB.  Delete the tdms_index files and re - open the TDMS files had no effect.

    A first look into files (using the primitives to open the binary in LabVIEW), the initial section of the appearance of correct files (readable metadata that matches from a work file in a non-working file).

    He seems to have no notable connection between the two files that will not open, nor the differences in the situation of these files for work files.

    Any help would be greaty appreciated.

    TDMS files are written in chuncks.  At the beginning of each chunck belongs to the human readable semi which is data such as channel names and groups, but contains no actual data.  Then follows the binary data.  The index is intended for all semi human readable file and any data.  This should make the reading of the file easier because the file offset and such are in the index file smaller.

    This being said if you have some sections corrupted in your DDHN file you can always get the data out of it.  There is a code floating around that pull each of the segments and find out what is the problem, then all allows you to get all the data before the wrong section.  This thread talking about it, and a short code displayed around page 3.

  • I moved the documents in the wrong files can I go out and drop them in the correct file

    I did a daily newspaper and accidentally creates a different file for each month but penetrated some day diarys bad monthly files. How can I remove them and move them to the right file

    The use of the words 'documents' and 'files', I may need more information.  A document (for example you can create with a text editor) is a file.  The various documents (files) are stored in folders (icon for them looks like a folder of files in an office filing system).

    If you have saved a file (document) in a wrong folder, you can go using Windows Explorer (generally you press start and then select "Documents" in the list on the right above the Start button) and navigate to the folder where the file is.  Once you've found the file you can right-click on it and select "Cut" (or "Copy" If you want to be sure), then move them to the folder where you want the file and right click in an empty area in this folder and select "Paste".  (If you used the copy rather than the option of cutting option, you will then have to go back and delete the file in its original location).

    Another way to do the same thing that can be easier would be to open start > Documents and navigate to the folder where the wrong file and then open a second window by clicking Start > Documents again (a second window will not open unless you have navigated to a different location from the location of the opening in the first window).  In the second window, navigate to where you want the file to be.  With two windows open just click and drag the file from where it is in the first window to where you want it to be in the second window.

    If you really did not on folders, please answer with what application (program), you used to create the diary.

  • Export previews as JPEGS, once you have deleted the original file.

    I deleted the original files, but I need to get some pics of lightroom and can be used in jpeg format. Is there a way simple-ish to do this on a PC?

    In the menu.

    Library > previews > build 1:1 previews.

    In the settings of Catalog under the file handling tab, change the setting to automatically discard 1:1 previews to never.

    Caution: keep for all your images 1:1 previews will eat plenty of hard drive to work and is probably not a good solution for the 'what if' scenario here. I recommend a backup strategy of the original files in offline mode, so you can rebuild a complete overview, if you accidentally delete the work files.

  • Is it possible to save photos from lightroom without the original file?

    I recently imported photos into lightroom, but I did not back up the original files on my computer and they are deleted from my card.  The images still appear in lightroom.  Is it possible to save them from lightroom without the original file?

    Your images are not - and have never had - in Lightroom, they are just referenced in the Lightroom database.

    Lightroom generates jpeg previews of the originals, however, and you can export users export preview plugin of Rob Cole: robcole.com - PreviewExporter.

    To be clear, however, that are not originals.

  • Time Machine, delete the old files from MacAir?

    We had a MacAir and a MacPro at home and both were using backups time machine on our 2 TB Time Capsule. I sold the MacAir and replaced by a new MacBook. Can I delete the backups Time Machine of old MacAir and make room on my time Machine 2 TB for Macbook? I get a message of disk space for the first backup of the MacBook.

    Can I delete the backups Time Machine of old MacAir and make room on my time Machine 2 TB for Macbook?

    Yes you can.  Your next question may be 'how' to do it.

    Use the Finder to open the disc Time Capsule, named "Data", except if you have renamed the reader

    Here, you will see two files sparsebundle, each bearing the name of Mac, who has been the object of a backup

    Click on the name of the sparsebundle file on behalf of the Mac to highlight the file

    Click the gear just above the window, and then click place in the trash

    He is not coming back, so make sure that you delete the correct file.

    Once the deletion over... it should only take a few minutes... Turn off and restart the time Capsule and you should be all set.

  • Error 13008 - deleting the .itdb files does not help. :(

    I tried to move my directory iTunes of my homedir on the SD card where I keep all my assets and, despite having (as far as I can remember anyway) set up iTunes to stop the analysis of the file homedir first, now, whenever he's trying to start I get the fearsome "unknown error 13008. All threads I've seen on how to solve this say to save and delete the .itdb files in your iTunes folder and then restart iTunes. However, when I do this, iTune recreates (on the SD card, so at least I know that he uses the right place, and that it can write to the card), then crashes with the error 13008. Same thing if I rename the folder iTunes together.

    Any suggestions? I'm on Yosemite. I'd say what version of iTunes, I'm running, but...

    I make little feeling that this has not been done in the best way initially.

    Moving a library: quick response if you use preferences by default iTunes settings: copy the folder integer iTunes (and to ensure that all of its subfolders and files) intact at the other disk, hold down the option/ALT key to start iTunes and on request to select a library select iTunes Library.itl file in the copied folder.

    Hello Alonda,

    Thanks for the response on the answers.microsoft.com forum.

    It seems that you are really wanting to get free space on your hard drive.  Certainly understand this importance.  Did you run a disk cleanup?  Do this by => click Start ORB-> computer-> right click on your drive Local (usu. C :) and select properties-> under a general tab, click Disk Cleanup

    Disk Cleanup will usually present your files can be deleted without reprecussions.  Also, most of the files that you can delete Windows putting updates in question the question about WINSXS, get lodged in this folder.  Here is an article of Nice forum describing the WINSXS file a little more away.

  • is it safe to delete the temporary files?

    a game on MSN games froze the screen. The solution I got was to remove & reinstall Java, delete cookies, temp internet files.  I will lose any important data if I delete temporary files?

    Temporary files because they are are temporary and can be deleted safely. Of course, when you remove cookies from Web sites that you visit often preventing login/password information and then you will have to re-enter.

    The only time where it is not recommended to delete the temporary files is when you install a program, and if this program always needs to restart to complete the installation.

    It is rare that any who save their important data in temporary since the temp files folders are always flushed when the user run CCleaner or all files temporary cleaner.
