Move the library of photos from applications to the images folder

I recently used the import in photos app option to import my photos images folder in the photos app.

I deleted all the images in the images folder and discovered later, the photos app choose to save the photo library in applications (?). Why, I don't know.

Reading on the default location of the photo apps, I learned that the photo library must be in images (not in applications)...

For the life of it, I can't move the photos to the pictures library. I can't choose 'copy to another location', I can't drag and drop, I can duplicate but only in again once the applications folder.

How to get to the library of photos of my applications?

I recently used the import in photos app option to import my photos images folder in the photos app.

How exactly import you?

When you launch Photos it will create the library of Photos in the pictures folder.  Are you really seeing the photo library in Applications or the Photos.app? The icons are very similar: compare file name extensions.

The photo library looks like this - a fan of pictures.

The Photos.app shows that the flower of the unique Rainbow and not a fan.  What you describe is typical of the Photos.app.  It is specially protected under the system and cannot be removed from the Applications folder. Any other file or folder that you copy into the applications folder can be deleted.

  • Error when you try to move the cloudvolumes folder in a different data store

    OK, so I'm moving my App volume 2.10 cloudvolumes folder of datastoreA on vcenterA on datastoreB on vcenterB, because we want to separate us from our VDI of our basic infrastructure.

    We are able to access the two vcenters on the web client.

    I tried to just copy the folder datastoreA to datastoreB cloudvolumes and received the following error.

    Copy of the file object has already been deleted or has not been entirely created


    I've seen this error in Veeam before when moving virtual machines from a data store. The solution is to remove and readd the virtual machine in the inventory.


    Everyone tried to move the cloudvolumes folder?


    Any help would be appreciated.


    Thank you



    I would never move the folder because there are files that will always be accessible or are not in read/write mode.

    I suggest you copy the files from the 1 folder to another, or maybe add an additional data store to the manager Appvolumes and let the files (appstacks at least) copy automatically.

  • Is it possible to move the BuildCache folder?

    I am running into a problem of path of file name length in the BuildCache directory, which is currently located at "C:\Documents and Settings\ & lt; user & gt; Settings\Application Data\Thinstall\BuildCache. "I want to move it to a shorter path, but have failed.  I tried setting the env variable THINAPP_CACHE_DIR., but it had no effect.  I am running the latest version of ThinApp.  Any help is appreciated.  Thank you.

    Currently, it is not possible to move the BuildCache folder, its location is always % AppData%\Thinstall\BuildCache Local.

    I'm a little surprised that you run into a problem of path length. That means either you have a user name very long or very long file name (original path does not matter, the name of the file itself must be large enough)?

  • Import of Images in the IMAGES folder in the project manager

    Hello. I'm relatively new to Robo help 7, and after reading some documents, I still need help graphic images, please.

    I am importing of HTML files in my project.
    In the project manager, under files HTML (topics), I create multiple new folders and import HTML files in each of them.

    In doing so, I notice files with the same name in the IMAGES section.
    There is no graphic images in any of these files, however.

    I also didn't notice any IMPORT option to the Images section. I don't know how to put graphic images in none of these cases... or even if I can.

    Is can someone please tell me where, in my project, I can place the graphic images, so that the imported HTML them files display properly?

    No doubt I'm missing something obvious. Thank you! JD

    Hello and welcome to the forum.

    No need to relocate your images first, JD.

    On a topic, click on the Insert Image button, or select the picture in the Insert menu. HR will navigate to and select the images from anywhere on your network or hard drive.

    When you select an image (and save the subject? do not know exactly when the image moves!) it is stored in the images directory. He is not in a folder, although it would be a nice feature - but you can move the images to the right folder as they accumulate.

    Try it once — you'll see.

    I hope this helps!

  • Access to the library of photos from other applications

    This question is so ridiculous, I don't know even how to describe.

    When I use Photoshop or Facebook or even mail and I want to open a photo from my library, I'm not able to do it with pictures.  I can get to a picture category in the drop down menu below for the location of the photo, but in the category, it lists a library which no longer opens.  By clicking on that leads to an error message ("this file format is not recognized", or something to that effect.)  I have to go to Photos and send the picture to myself and to save it to my desktop in order to to use.  It didn't happen with iPhoto.

    I use an iMac of 2013 and El Capitan 10.11.3.

    Everyone knows this?  Can it be fixed?

    Thank you.

    In mail, click the photo browser to access the photo library: it will display a list of libraries of photos:

    Using Photoshop "file > open and scroll down to the media section in the sidebar." Click on the Photo icon. Then wait Photos appear in theistic and be prepared to wait awhile, until what the pictures will be displayed.

  • To remove photos from my best results images being added to the folder.

    I wanted to remove several photos in a folder in my pictures.  I have stressed the photos I want to remove and click the Remove option.  The photos have been removed, but a copy of the photos have been added to the folder.  Other attempts to delete copies resulted in deployed additional copies.  I couldn't find a solution.  Help.

    Maybe the info will shed light...
    failure to completely release the mouse button
    When moving from one room to another is
    the cause of unwanted copies.

    Here's how to reproduce the unwanted reproduction...

    Hold down your CTRL key and select multiple files...

    Place your pointer over the selected group
    (holding the key ctrl) and left click / drag
    the group even just the slightest bit... now
    release the mouse button.

    Ooops! More copies...

    Maybe the following will help:

    Sometimes most of the person who
    trying to select multiple by holding the CTRL
    or the SHIFT key down while clicking on the left to select the
    image files.

    Copies are created when you are unable to
    completely release the mouse button before
    you move the pointer to another file. When a group
    the selected file is dragged... even the slightest
    release the mouse button will produce a bit...
    copies of all the files previously highlighted.

    It's a little easier if you have your folder
    Options set at single click... that way you can
    select/deselect a file with just a mouse more
    and you don't have to click. For multiples you
    I have to keep... CTRL or Shift.

    Do not click on... no slip... no copy... maybe that of
    your solution. To adjust the click...
    Open a folder and go... Tools / folder
    Options / General tab... Check... 'single click '.
    To open an item"/ apply / OK.

    If you want to delete all the files in a folder
    You can try the following:

    Reach... Edition / select all... or type... CTRL / has...

    With all of the files selected... go... Drop / delete...
    or press your delete key... or... click on the
    Group and choose 'delete '.

    How do I find and remove unwanted 'copies '.
    of your image files.

    Open the folder that the images are saved in and
    on the left, click on the button 'Search' in your toolbar.

    (If you view the files from a montage
    program and do not know where the record is... right
    Click on one of the image files and the menu...
    choose... Properties. The path to the folder will be
    in the tab 'General' to 'Place').

    In the research pane select... "All files and folders".

    In the "All or part of the file name" field. Come in...

    a copy of

    Now... on the left, click on the search"" button.

    When the search is complete... go to... Edition / select all...

    Then go to... Remove / delete.

    You will see a dialog box asking if you are sure
    you want to delete the files, click Yes.

    Now the remaining files should be your originals.

  • Duplication of my library of photos from my wife (once, not persistent) phone

    My wife and I have separate MacBooks and iPhones, with the iCloud separate accounts (and want like that). I know there is no current way to actually "share" our libraries of Photos in a transparent way (grrr), so what I plan to do is to migrate a duplicate of my existing photo library (who currently with all of its photos and mine) on his machine, and then we'll take everything not turn import our photos via USB for some and other computers 'share' to proceed.

    My question is: if I make a copy of the file "Library.photoslibrary Photos" on my MacBook and place it in the folder ~/Pictures on my wife's cell phone, will be his machine to use it properly and start using it as the basis for his own (separate) iCloud photo library? I use iCloud photo sharing with my library of photos (with my iCloud account), but my machine is set to 'Download the originals of this Mac' so I don't think I would transfer all files of complete sizes. I realize, this is a snapshot in time, and once the two libraries are set up on their own accounts of iCloud photo library, they will be Islands separated by itself.

    I know in the past I could just copy to his machine and go, but wasn't sure if the Photos Library.photoslibrary files now somehow contains the link to my account iCloud or something and would not properly be 'work' when adding to his machine. My hope is that when I first copy the file Library.photoslibrary of Photos to his machine, it will only have a local copy of the photos and then when I turn on iCloud photo library on your computer, the photos will begin downloading to her iCloud.

    This will work as expected?

    Yes it will work as expected with this comments

    You must set the library you transfer only the system library in his Photos preferencs

    and it will not replace iCloud pHoto Library - it will merge in it (elimination of duplicates in the process)
