• Delete "Lightroom 5 catalog Previews.lrdata Smart?

  My Lightroom folder has a 2.28 GB "Lightroom 5 catalog Previews.lrdata" file and a 10.01 GB file called "Lightroom 5 catalog Smart Previews.lrdata."

  "Lightroom 5 catalog Previews.lrdata" file was created on 09/02/13 and amended on 20-11-14.

  "5 Smart Previews.lrdata Lightroom Catalog" file was created on 09/03/13 and has never been amended since this date.

  The last time that I imported the photos 11/14/14. I did no changes what whether from 20/11/14.

  Given that the "5 Lightroom Catalog Previews.lrdata Smart" file has not changed since its inception, I wonder what, if any, it is in service. Delete would free up much of the space, so I want to do if I wouldn't lose something important.

  I use PL 5.7 for Mac, in the case where that matters.

  Thanks in advance for your answers.

  ... Previews.lrdata files (not files), are required by Lightroom and should not be deleted. I mean, they peuvent be removed if they cause problems (or they are associated with a catalog obsolete..) and they can or will be recreated, but management is to minimize the storage:

  remove the 1:1 previews, and/or

  remove smart insights

  (using the Lr menu functions)

  In addition, if you reduce the size and/or quality of the standard previews (using Lr preferences), then it will be not so great...

  That said, some of us just delete these records as a quick dirty way to 'start over' preview-wise...

• Lightroom 2 catalog previews.lrdata?

  I run into the problems of space on my C drive (hard to imagine, but I my computer has been configured before LR and iTunes).  I have moved the music from iTunes to another player, but still need to free up space.  LR use / 3GB in the following location:

  C:\Documents and Settings\ < user > \My Documents\My Pictures\Lightroom\Lightroom 2 catalog Previews.lrdata

  There are less records 0 to 9 and A to F (more a file called miniature - cache.db).  These have in turn their own subfolders.  I can't remove it the entire structure of C:\Documents and Settings\DandJ\My Documents\My Pictures\Lightroom\Lightroom 2 catalog Previews.lrdata?  What I have to change the preference to have this things overview go to another drive in the future?  My 'Camera Raw Cache Settings' points to another drive, but this doesn't seem to be the same.

  I have 3 GB + free for other things (such as defragmentation without having to move stuff back)!

  Thank you.

  You can move the "[nomcatalogue] .lrcat" (like LRCAT) file as well as the "[catlogname] Previews.lrdata" (like LRDATA) folder with Windows Explorer to a new location and that's it. Then, you can double-click on the file ".lrcat [nomcatalogue]" and LR should open with her.

• I moved my library on an external drive. Now miss me the story on a single computer

  I have a Mac Book Pro, which has a limited memory. So I decided to keep my Lightroom library on a hard drive external. I had no problem getting the pictures of my desktop on disk; However, when I imported the photos on my laptop, I have lost my story. So it's always there on the desk, but the laptop is missing. I guess part of the answer lies with the original file from catalogues? I made the trip following a video from Adobe. I just dragged my photos from the desktop on the external hard drive hard drive in Lightroom.

  Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

  I think that I fixed it. Thank you for taking the time to answer this question. Your help is greatly appreciated.

• File recovery HARD drive missing

  I downloaded Win8 and installed, thinking that I would be able to run both I expected to install on drive d (Yes). It was late to do anything about it either once it all started, but he wiped the drive C. I decided to return to the factory settings.

  This is what is happening.

  After pressing F8, everything is OK up to choose recovery tool.

  No "HDD RECOVERY BUTTON_ _TOSHIBA." Is displayed at the bottom.

  Recovery disc and this is the message I received.

  "System restore failed.

  File recovery HARD drive on the second disc of the first hard drive not found.

  There is no valid disk HARD recovery environment on this computer. »

  I ran a program of partition and the result is that I have a partition 400meg on the front of the C drive and all files are intact.

  Can you help me?

  Hello

  Saved on the HARD drive recovery image can be used if the laptop has only factory settings. After installing Win8 you have changed everything and factory settings have been deleted. If use of F8 are unable to work.

  This 400MB you see have nothing to do with the Toshiba recovery image. This small partition is owned by the operating system.

  One thing confuses me in the history. It is the use of recovery disks.
  You have created recovery discs using the preinstalled Toshiba recovery disc creator?

  Generally the recovery disk contains all the important data for the installation of the OS, so I put t understand how you can get this message.

• How can I delete file from HARD drive recovery?

  I burned a copy of the HDD recovery folder and would now like to delete the original folder on my hard drive that I need the space.
  Unfortunately I don't seem to have permission to make changes to the file.

  Any suggestions? (I'm a noob in vista)

  Thank you

  > burned a copy of the HDD recovery folder
  I think this will not help you if you would try to recover this file of HARD drive recovery once again!
  You need a recovery disk! This disc would only create a HARD disk partition once again!

  This means that you must create the recovery disk, first using the Toshiba recovery disc creator! This tool is preinstalled!

  So after you have created a successfully recovery disk, you can try to delete the folder from the HARD drive. But to be honest, I don t recommend this I want to say that this folder can be very useful in the future in case something goes wrong with your system

  However, I think that you cannot delete it because you don t have permission to admin
  You can try to disable UAC first
  Disable UAC is as easy as start > run > msconfig > tools > disable UAC > Ok.

• Sharing of files and hard drive between computers

  Dear Sir or Madam:

  I'm trying to connect two computers, which I named system A and system b. Computers and a DSL modem at wire speed Westel are connected to a router Asus WL-520 through ethernet LAN cables wireless/wired. HP PSC 2355 printer is connected to the router with a USB cable. The LAN on board two computers automatically configures the IP addresses of the form 192.168.x.x, which, in my view, to work. However there is no connectivity between the two computers, systems A and B. They do not see the shared disks and files on the other. The operating system is Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition, Version 2002 with Service Pack 3, n ° 76477-OEM-0015717-31545.

  When I ran the program ipconfig on each a said computer specification that IP routing is not enabled. See the configuration below. IP routing must be enabled in order to have connectivity?

  Hello

  The display is OK. The routing setting this isOoff is not relevant in your case.

  ----------------

  Configure all of the computers to share files and you have a network Lcall.

  Make sure that the software firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall on, Vista/XP Firewall Native should be disabled, and the active firewall has adjusted to your network numbers IP on what is sometimes called the Zone of confidence (see part 3 firewall instructions

  General example, http://www.ezlan.net/faq#trusted

  Please note that some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic. If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .

• Copying files between hard drives problem

  Hello

  I have problems copying files between hard drives on my computer. I was having this problem on Windows 7 and Windows Vista, but never met him on XP.  It seems that there are several similar topics, but I think I've noticed a few oddities in my own experience...

  I have several drives, between 500 GB ~ 1 TB.  Problems arise when I try to copy a folder with a large number of files (pictures, records about 4 GB in size, typically).  Initially, the transfer rate would be HD burst speed, somewhere between 90 MB to 150 MB.  Speed would be reduced to about 30 MB, or even lower.  The transfer ends by becomes so slow that the operation would take hours to complete.  If I try to cancel, it would take minutes to do.  The computer run slowly for a long period of time, with an offset of intermittent until I have to reboot the system.  This occurs regardless the source and destination drives.

  On some Samsung drives, this problem is actually lead to the corruption of data on the source and destination drives and i/o error messages.  CHKDSK runs at startup, try to solve the problem, but the data would be lost or unreadable disc.  I have since thrown the Samsung WD drives, do not have IO error, but the file copy problem persists.  I also disabled chkdsk at startup for all readers.

  My drivers and Bios are up-to-date.  Computer is free of viruses and malware.  I have no more trouble with Windows 7.  Curiously, if I compress my folders/files in one RAR file, I have no problems copying (transfer rate remains stable at 30 ~ 50MB).  This leads me to believe that this is not a hardware problem, but a problem with the Explorer of solutions, and that respect more particularly with the number of files transferred rather than size.  (But unpacking these files also lead to poor performance sometimes...)

  Is this a known issue that will be corrected?  I really like Win7, but because I work with large number of files and many backups all the time, stability during the file copying is a must.  I have perhaps to go back to XP, or use another OS entirely...

  I had the same problem;

  My system-

  Windows 7 Pro 64
  Core i7 940
  7200 RPM dual 500 GB SATA
  Gigabit ethernet

  Gigabit ethernet switch
  Gigabit router

  Buffalo NAS 1 TB, RAID 0, Gigabit Ethernet

  I was getting speeds of transfer of a maximum of 500 / 600 KB/s between the hard drive and network storage drive. I went through a number of * fixed * on the web without success, however, I disabled "TCP AutoTuning" and "RSS" rebooted and voila, I now get speeds of transfer of 9-10 MB / s and from the network drive.

  The fix
  It should be noted that, in addition to this, I have updated to the latest updates for Windows and off the DRC in the Windows Options under programs/features.

  How to disable TCP AutoTuning and receive scalability side

  1. Open a prompt with administrator rights.
  2. Type the following commands, and press enter (the second command on RSS is optional):

     netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel = disabled
     netsh interface tcp set global rss = off

  3. Restart the computer.

• What is the role of the folder "Lightroom 5 catalog Previews.Irdata - can I remove it?  It's a memory hog.  There is a file separate from 5 Lightroom Catalog.

  My SSD hard drive has limited space which I use for programs and store various files on external hard drive photos.  I ran into a wall space on the SSD C drive and note that the file above is about 13.2 GB for photo previews k 20 detainees.  Can I delete this file?  What is the impact on LR?

  You definitely need the Preview file. You can control the size a bit by choosing more small 1:1 previews. I use the smaller previews because I mainly use the develop module. 1:1 previews offer no advantage in the develop module.

  If you store your images on another hard drive, internal or external, you can move your entire folder that contains your catalog folder and insights that drive or another also. All you have to do is then double-click the catalog in its new location to start using Lightroom again.

• LR previews.lrdata files

  I understand that the LRCAT is the main file for a catalog. In the LR4, the program generates a file preview.lrdata containing thousands of new files and take a lot of hard disk space and a lot of time when the readers of synchronization.

  If I delete all the files and preview files and reopen the catalog, LR begins immediately generating these files again.

  I have something checked (as previews full size) which is originally LR do all these files? I remember this in LR3. I looked around in the prefs and catalog for a checkbox.

  Maybe there something to the size of the preview, I chose? I had the Settingst catalog at 1440/Medium/throw 1:1 after a day.  I just put it to 1024/low/throw 1:1 after a day.

  My main catalog now has 170 000 files and the LRCAT file is approximately 2.63 concerts.

  I use Alwaysync to synchronize the disks on a PC running Windows 7. All records requires more time to analyze.

  Thanks in advance,

  M Jackson

  M,

  Lightroom has always been so. The previews on Windows were (and still are) always embedded in a large folder tree.

  As the overview file can be re-created at will, you don't have to back it up. Is there a way to tell Alwaysync to ignore it when you synchronize your disks?

• When Lightroom stores catalogs, previews and backups?

  1. by default, where he stores LR:

  a. catalog (.lrcat)

  b. previews (.lrdata)

  c. backups catalogues and previews

  2 can change these locations?

  2. If so, how one specifies where LR will store each of the foregoing?

  3. is there a specific location, the catalogue, the preview relationship and backups, or any partial combination of these three, should stay in?

  3. If so, what are the relations that/those?

  (a) by default in the Lightroom folder in my pictures / photos

  (b) in the same folder as the catalog

  (c) everywhere where tell you him - which should be somewhere different. No backup previews.

  Re 2, simply move the catalog in Explorer / Finder, double click on it. If you move the previews, LR begins a new one in the same folder as the catalog, then (b) above.

  Re 3, answered above. Backups can / must be somewhere else and it's your choice where.

  Note that in the catalog settings there is a button display that reveals where is your catalog.

• Why can't Lightroom 5 read these same files to my old 5 d? Any help or fix it please!

  Why can't Lightroom 5 read these same files to my old 5 d? Previous Lightroom could read all my files very well. They were not moved or renamed. "Lightroom has encountered a problem of reading of this photo (!). No idea why or fixed?

  It shows my 5 d MarkIII files perfectly. Still more old files 40 d and nikon. But almost all of my original 5 d files appear in white with the in the upper right corner.

  When I upgraded lightroom the transition of this catalogue and all the remains transferred very well. Just not the old files. I had hoped that an update would fix it but still no luck.

  Perhaps I should remove and reimport?

  Any help is very appreciated.

  One last thing.  If it's on a Mac and that you have recently updated to the 10.9.3, Mavericks then that makes the users folder hidden, so photos down there could be a problem.
