move the files and copy them

Ten Windows is annoying me in many ways and so did windows 8 but it is the most painful. I have a lot of files in a folder and you want to move some but not all somewhere else. So I start to select the ones I want to move holding the key ctrl while I select. Once I have selected perhaps 8 or 9 the system copies all of them there in the folder where they are already! Why it assumes that anyone would do such a silly thing and how can I make him wait to be told what to do?

Post proposed by the facilitator for the appropriate forum placed

You need a firmer hand.  Now the Ctrl key while you drag a file over 4 pixels will cause a "copy."  This was true on all versions of Windows forever, but if you have a new screen super-HD, 4 pixels is very small amount of space, so it can be very easy to accidentally only drag away when you simply by clicking to select.

You can go to the 'View' menu at the top and select the option 'use cases' and use them instead of the Ctrl method.  And then selecting multiple files is easier and given that you use the Ctrl key you can not accidentally cause a copy.

There is also a more advanced to go into the registry and set the threshold of 'slide' to be more than 4 pixels.  For example, you could do it 60 pixels and then you will need to drag the width of an icon (icon of average size is 64 pixels) before that this would trigger a copy.  The instructions for this are on line (since it has been the same for 30 years, you can simply use instructions, it works on any version).

  • Project Manager hangs during fired fresh files and copy them to the new location

    Hello

    Any project I have which includes a .mts file captured with a Panasonic GH1 camera causes the project manager in Premiere Pro (CC 2015 edition) to hang (several minutes and ends by hangs) when I do a "collect files and copy them to a new location. It creates a "xxxx. MTSBDMV' with a 'STREAM' record fo RL first file, but that is it. I can even reproduce with a new project with a single sequence, single clip.

    I'm under Premiere Pro CC 2015 edition on a Windows 10 machine. (I tried before 2014 CC edition WIndows 7 as well, same result, but I have not created a test case).

    An example of project (1,3 Mo) can be found at: Test_GH1_footage_collect_files_crash.zip - Google Drive

    Any suggestion for a solution or workaround are much appreciated.

    Hi Albion,

    Thanks for your message and anxiety. I downloaded your sample project and media and was able to replicate your issue.

    Any project I have which includes a .mts file captured with a Panasonic GH1 camera causes the project manager in Premiere Pro (CC 2015 edition) to hang (several minutes and ends by hangs) when I do a "collect files and copy them to a new location.

    I don't know why these images give you so much trouble, but there are a few things to check.

    1. Where is the folder for multimedia file structure? All I see is the raw. Clip of MTS.
    2. In general, you copy all the SD card to your computer HD, then ingest via the media browser
      1. This allows all the metadata to clips to be implemented with the clip.
      2. The clip needs this metadata so that it works normally.
      3. Many publishers of band on the metadata by choosing File > import and do not ingest correctly via the media browser

    I suspect that this could be at the heart of your problems. You could try a try and ingest the images correctly, so try and move the project with the project manager. If it still does not work, please file a bug herereport.

    Once I transcoded your footage to ProRes LT using Adobe prelude, I could ingest images, create a sequence, then moved the sequence and associated media without problem.

  • import photos from usb in the files and store them in folders

    I have pictures files created on a pc and stored on a USB key.

    I want to create a library for these pictures and retain their position in folders

    I imported the Photos, but they are sorted by date with no option to change.

    Is there a way to keep records and bring them to Photos?

    Pictures folders cannot contain pictures, only the albums containing photos.  There is an Applescript script in the Photos for Mac usage tips section which allows you to import the pictures folders from your hard drive in the library of Photos and make them into albums with the same name as the folder.  You can get it here: Photos for Mac: File Import of Image files in the library as Albums

    The Photos window sorts the photos by date they were taken and are called Moments.  The window of all sorts photos by date imported into the library with the most recent at the bottom of the window.

    Moments in Photos are new events, i.e. groups of photos sorted by date of catch.

    When the iPhoto library has been migrated first to the pictures there is a folder created in the box titled iPhoto events and all migrated iPhoto events (which are now Moments) are represented by an album in this folder. Use the Command + Option + S key combination to open the sidebar if it is not already open.

    NOTE: it has been reported by several users that if the albums of the event are moved in the iPhoto Library folder in the sidebar, they disappear.  It is not widespread, but several users have reported this problem.  Therefore, if you want to if ensure that you keep these event albums do not transfer out of the iPhoto events folder.

    Is there a way to simulate events in pictures.

    When new photos are imported in the library of Photos, go to the smart album last import , select all the photos and use the file menu option ➙ New Album or use the key combination command + N.  Call it what you want.  It appears just above the folder to iPhoto events where you can drag it into the events in iPhoto folder

    When you click on the folder to iPhoto events, you will get a window simulated of iPhoto events.

    Albums and smart albums can be sorted by title, by Date, with the oldest first and by Date with the most recent first.

  • Move the files and folders in PSE8 structures

    I have a new computer with a lot more hard disk space.  So now I want to pass on 2 000 photos in the organizer of an external hard drive to my local drive.  Easier to work with my photos this way, and I have an automatic backup of my hard drive for storage off site of the internet.

    When I tried to use the file-> Move feature, the moved files but not the structure of underlying files.

    Yes, my photos are marked in the Organizer.  But I want to preserve the file structure, too.

    Is this possible?

    Jim, San Francisco

    Jim,

    You can move your files to the folder view structures in the Organizer. Just drag the folder parent in browser left to the destination parent folder.

    Let me know if it works for you.

  • Windows Explorer crashes with move the file and lock MGP all MS Office upward when "save under" or move in the W - XP Pro - SP3 directory

    Hi Tdonone,

    Looks like there could be a problem with the hard drive. its certainly worth running some tests on if possible. It is a dell machine you may be able to run a hard drive test when the computer starts by using the f8 key, but if not you must download a free software called theultimatebootcd and burn it to a cd and then start the computer on the cd and use the software on the disk to perform checks on the hard drive.

  • Can I use Lable 8.6.1 to extract the files and manipulate them using NI_SCC.lvlib

    I'm trying to generate some configurations and documentation files that I want to manage with SVN.  The NI_SCC.lvlib there hooks for this?  If so is there an example I can look at?  My main problem is the references (refnum project)

    Any help would be great!

    Thank you

    Yes, you can use the interface of NOR.

    However, you will need to use an additional software module to communicate with a server SVN (pushOK SVN).

  • I can not move the files to a folder in windows XP, only to copy them, and I get the windows error. This happens on any file or folder.

    I use XP Pro SP 3 and I'm having a problem with moving the files from one folder to another, no matter where the folder or files. If I try to move a file, it crashes and it cannot be opened or used. If I move a folder, then crashes all the contents of the folder, and I can't even open the folder, it tells me access is denied, this nothing else. If I try to delete the file, then I get a prompt to error telling me that the file or folder is not accessible, and that access is denied and "make sure that the disk is not full or write protected." If I try to move the files corrupt in another folder, this time I get the message "Unable to move or replace" the file in question and "make sure that the disk is not full or write protected." If it is a document as a text file, then I can open the file and there is a prompt indicating that access is denied. I can then use the text document and save something, but if I close the document and then try to reopen it, all the changes are lost.
    It is not this problem if I move the files to an external device or disk drive.
    I am running as an administrator.
    Right now, if I need to move a file, I copy it to its destination, which is possible and then delete the original file. With the help of a release program was the only way I could delete these files, which could no longer be used.

    Hello Closrapexa, welcome.

    1. do you have this problem started recently?

    I recommend trying the system restore to bring the system back to a State before the problem started. Try this:
    1. click on START
    2. click on "all programs".
    3. click on "Accessories".
    4. click on "system tools."
    5. click on "system restore."
    6 follow the prompts shown to restore your system to a date before the problem started. Although the system restore does not target the personal data, it is recommended that you back up all data such as music, photos and documents in case something is not bad.
    Let us know what happens

    =============================
    I do not think that the 'Read only' attribute of your

    Is it always NULL?

    SELECT SUBSTR (p_csa, 1, 4) INTO v_comp FROM DUAL;

    You don't need the double table much in PL/SQL. You can simply say

    v_comp := SUBSTR (p_csa, 1, 4);
    

    Almost all integrated single-row functions work in PL/SQL. (NVL2 is the only one I know who does not work in PL/SQL).

    SELECT SUBSTR (p_csa, 5.3) INTO v_csa_prefix FROM DUAL;
    SELECT SUBSTR (p_csa, 8, 4) INTO v_csa_type FROM DUAL;

    If you don't want space, then only concatenate all the spaces in the string before you write it and REPLACE allows you to delete all the spaces that have been copied from p_csa. For example:

    UTL_FILE.PUT_LINE ( fileidinvoice
                , REPLACE ( v_telco || v_comp
                                        || v_csa_prefix
                              || v_csa_type
                       , ' '
                       )
                );
    

    I guess you need the v_comp of separate variables, the v_csa_prefix and the v_csa_type for something.

    I hope that answers your question.
    If this isn't the case, after a complete script that people can run to recreate the problem and test their ideas. Display the results you want (in other words, the contents of the file created).
