• Problems to move and rename directories with Windows 7

  I'm having intermittent problems, move, and rename directories on a network in Windows 7.

  It seems to be related to indexing and the thumbs.db which is planted in each directory. Sometimes after I've removed the thumb, I can rename or move the directory, but sometimes not.
  A way to solve this annoying problem?

  Hi Brett!

  Read here how to disable the thumbs.db: http://www.itguyfixit.com/2009/07/removingdisable-thumbsdb-windows-xp.html

• Importing and organizing photo files lightroom 5 for the first time. Clean photo hard drive files

  I have a trial version of lightroom 5 and would like one once and forall to restore order to my two drives hard and lightroom 5 collection. Some photos in lightroom 5 seem to have lost their way. Some are in folders of Windows 7 and others are 9 elements. I made backup copies of some records and would like to have a more systematic approach to save them in the future. I have a NAS (network access storage) device and an additional hard drive, I thought that it would be better to use my cell phone as main for my photo files working memory such that it would be faster to work with the NAS or external and then again everything down to the NAS and external. I consider that the main challenge group all files and as much as possible to preserve the sides I gave photos; I would like to eliminate duplicats. on both the hard drive and in lightroom. I watched one of the vidios of initial training on the 'library' of the adobe help section and the presenter talked about two ways to import photos. the first and I think that I will use in the future is to open lightroom and import from the SD directly rather than having the Windows 7 import, and then ask to lightroom to find them. If anyone Kow of an exhaustive enumeration of the instructions on how to clean up my hard drives that would be extremely useful? Peter

  I doubt that it is a list of instructions to wipe a hard drive, because each starting situation is different and your 'own' is probably very different than my "clean".

  But let's clear up a few things first. From your writings, it seems that you think that you have stored pictures in post-secondary education and photos stored in LR. This is not correct. None of these programs to store your photos. All your pictures are on your hard drive, in folders, somewhere.

  Regarding the missing photos in Lightroom, when you move or rename your photos and folders outside of the Lightroom, Lightroom doesn't know where they are and bring back them as being absent. To fix it, see: http://www.computer-darkroom.com/lr2_find_folder/find-folder.htm related to that, you don't want to 'clean up' things in Windows and also "clean things" upward in Lightroom. Instead, once you import photos into Lightroom, you must do all the managing photos in Lightroom, not Windows, otherwise you'll just create several missing files.

  Regarding duplicates, Lightroom has some tools to detect duplicates. He will try to prevent duplicates during the import, and if you are unable to import duplicates, you can use the "auto stack by Capture time" to try to find additional duplicates. But if those who do not work, then're it pretty much on your own.

  With regard to put photos on your laptop to work on them rather than on your external hard drive, I think you will find that this gives a fraction of a second speed improvement that you may even not notice, which will be offset by the time you spend moving somewhere else photos when finished. So just put the photos in their final destination on your external HD or a NAS file and don't bother moving them to the internal HD.

  Which leads to another point. Once you have done this 'cleaning', your workflow should be to put the photos in a place and then do not transfer! (Exception: not enough space on the disk or moving to another drive/computer) Make your life easier as possible.

  One last point: seriously consider using keywords and other metadata for the Organization, rather than move photos/files from here to there, to reach the organization. These tools in Lightroom will give you the possibility of organizing in a much more powerful and flexible organization and what you can do by moving the photos/files from here to there. (Note: If you want all the photos in a sort of centralized location because it meets your storage needs, can do that because it meets your storage needs.) In this collection of photos in a centralized location, using keywords and other metadata to achieve organization and research)

• Move and rename SecFile

  Hello
  
  I have a question about security files that load us using the ImportSecurity.cmd.
  
  The problem is that the program that we use to create a security file will place your security file to a location other than the planning file of the default depenses1 where it should be. It could even be on a completely - different share the call must be made.
  
  So, I was wondering if there was a way to write a batch file that copies the file from its original location (wherever it is placed first) in the planning file of the depenses1 where the ImportSecurity.cmd utility exist?
  
  Is another question - possible to rename the security of those initially file to SecFile.txt while moving to the planning of the depenses1 folder?
  
  There is a possibility that we will have more than one security files to be loaded and if each of them will be called different initially in the original location.
  
  Please let me know your opinion on this.
  ~ Hervé

  Yes, it would be very simple to copy the file and rename it, just have a web search for the copy of the command line and I'm sure you will get many examples
  For example, on windows-http://ask-leo.com/can_i_copy_and_rename_a_file_in_a_single_step.html

• Import and renamed photos during import in Photoshop elements 13

  Hello

  I have a bunch of photos and photo on my computer folders, in bulk inside a folder "images". Many of them renamed by myself (by hand, with texts of ads..) before making the acquisition of PSE13.
  I did the acquisition of PSE13 in order to restore order in all of this.
  My question: is it possible to import all this mass of photos and during import, rename pictures with, instead the name: the shooting date and time (yyyy. Mr JJ HHhMMmSS)
  I would also like to be able to put my old names of photos in the metadata in the "comments" box

  
  You have an idea how I could do this? And if PSE13 is able to do this?...

  Thanks in advance for your help,

  Good day!

  What you want is available only if you are importing from a card reader, not your drive.

  -You can rename the model YYYY MM DD or more personalized in the advanced import dialog box. Scroll down completely to access the models 'custom '.

  -by default, the original name of the file is stored in the metadata (check that the box is checked).

  -You can even import into a date-based folder tree (folders named YYYY MM DD).

  So, you could fool the Organizer by copying your folders present on a large map and import from "camera or card reader.

  Creation of a date based folder tree is possible at the same time. You can import in several batches if the card is not large enough.

• Unknown error. The slow movement and Panorama photo

  Hello guys.

  I just bought a Z2.

  I tried the phone today and tried most of the functions of the camera.

  Everything works fine except when I try to slow film (don't remember the function) and when I started filming, I got the message: 'Unknown error' the second I pushed the record button.

  And when I try to use panorama it worked for 3 seconds, and then he gave me half of a panorama shot. After that I tried again and now I get the message: 'Spin slower' or something like that. I get after 2-3 sec. Then I try again and again. And now I get the message 'Spin slower' the second I press the photo button.

  If something is not here.

  What is everyone has a problem with? Can we get an update / Fix for this soon?

  Is there something I can do to remedy this?

  Just one last question.

  I got a smart group with my Z2, and when I tried to connect it to the phone, I got the message: "Chip is empty."

  What does that mean? I got this message about 20 - 30 times above all of a sudden, I could connect to it. And then the band disconnects a lot, and when I try to connect it again, I get the same message and must try several times before it works again.

  Have a people great day.

  This seems strange, try this

  settings > apps > all > camera > clear data > restart your phone > check again

• Move photos beween hard drives and how it affects Lightroom?

  My hard drive is full and Im going on 45 000 photos to a new hard drive. I have already imported these photos in Lightroom and edited many. If I now move the files to a new larger hard drive Lightroom will still work with them?

  If you move these files outside of Lr, it will lose the connection to the records and must be reset. You can always move them inside Lr to the new location, but there have been reports this makes lose files completely, but this seems to be an intermittent problem!

  I move them outside of LR, and then use the information in the following link for reconnecting them. Whatever it is, make sure you have a backup of files and photos updated to be sure!

• How can I move photos in Lightroom?

  I'm unable to click and drag. I select/highlight the photos in the grid view, but when I click on them to drag them into the target folder, they deselect. I can't even drag one photo at a time. Therefore, I can't organize my photos in Lightroom. Is there a special way to click and drag the? Also, is there another way to move?

  It is necessary to click on the image itself and not on the surrounding gray border. Who will help?

• How simply move/Custom, organize your Photos in Lightroom 4?

  I am so frustrated at the moment. I'm in Lightroom 4 and I'm in the Mode Library grid. All I want to do is take a photo in the grid and move it to another location in the grid. It seems that you should be able to just click on the picture, drag and drop to where you would like placed on the grid. It's impossible. Then I read that the record must be clicked on also. So I clicked on the folder. Then, a pop-up said that I have, "can't move photos as long as there are subfolders". So I clicked on the subfolder and I still couldn't move picture. Then I read that I had to delete the subfolder. I did it and all 546 photos have been removed from Lightroom. I am now in the middle of importing the photos in Lightroom. Why is it so difficult? In Aperture, you need to drag the photo to the desired position. It works just like a toaster. But why Lightroom does make things so difficult? I wish someone would do a tutorial for Adobe TV about how simply move the photos. It is so basic and I can't understand it. Please, someone tell me just how to move a photo in Lightroom 4 to another position? Thank you.

  It seems that if you try to sort on a folder that has subfolders. LR will not allow this - you must open specific subfolder that contains only these images you need to sort and to do with it.

• Re-importation of the renamed photos and keep the changes? [LR3 / Win 7]

  I imported two cards from photos, with a couple of video clips on each.  I've added keywords and renamed files when importing (used Lightroom to copy them to the hard drive and rename it).

  I edited the first 50-100 photos, making a few changes to develop, then I realized that somewhere along the line, some files were not imported (maybe 10-15), and I think I started the import on the second card with the wrong number.  So now, I have a couple of missing files and a bunch of photos that are mysteriously failed.

  I would like to re - import two cards without losing the changes I've done so far, is there a way to do it?

  Sorry if it does not make sense, I'm not 100% sure how it happened.  Thank you!

  It is in the library. Menu metadata > edit Capture time.

  Right, the DJ reimport would lose your settings, although initially on XMP would reduce the amount of lost things.

• Difference between Windows movie maker vs Windows live movie maker and Windows photo gallery live vs Windows Photo Gallery

  Title: Windows original Photo Gallery and Windows Movie Maker

  Windows Movie Maker and windows photo gallery. picture of Windows live and Windows Live Movie Maker. What is the difference between these programs and who is better and easier to work with?

  The answer is all one could expect from a "Microsoft Support Engineer". "." It is not an answer, it is a lazy response that obscures the issue. Who the * wants to sit here by clicking on the reference links? Try to take the time to answer the question correctly and clearly. The fact is that Windows Movie Maker, despite its flaws, is logical and easy to learn. Windows Live Movie Maker is the product of developers geeks trying to justify their work by producing a piece of absurd confusion that would be considered to be an 'upgrade' because it seems different from its predecessor. The fact is that Windows Movie Maker is MORE like film professional software publisher of Live Movie Maker, which is just no unwanted standard which is more like a project of diploma a graduate programmer. Movie Maker design allowed me to make the easy transition to the most advanced professional software, but this can never be achieved with the Windows Live Movie Maker, which is ridiculously long as stupid as his name.
