moving files in its subdirectories in the parent directory catalogue - it's the best way?

I have a directory with nearly 200 files, but they are detailed by date in several subdirectories, some with as few as two files.  I can not move directly from the subdirectory, because LR which recognizes as a file already in the catalog.  So, I go to the subdirectory, delete these files from the catalog, and then move the files that are no longer considered as being in the catalogue from the subdirectory in the parent company.

It's the easiest way to accomplish this task?

You talk too much subdirectories, and I don't quite understand what is the problem. You should be able to highlight library grid mode files and drag them to the parent folder. If it's a problem, you might consider to activate the menu option, "show pictures in subfolders" located in the menu library. Then you can just click on the main folder and see all images.

  • What is the best way for this situation?

    Hi I have a xml file in my application. over a period of time, I have to add some nodes to the existing xml file.

    In my business logic when a particular condition is met I have to add a child node to the existing parent for an existing xml file node.

    What is the best way to do it? which api is best for this?

    DOM parser, we can parse the xml file but can write us in XML file?

    Sure. This is the opposite operation of analysis, and it is called "Serialization".

    The usual to serialize a DOM to a file is to create a transformer and to apply the transformation of identity for the DOM. However there are also third party XML serializers that do not take this approach.

  • What is the best way to transfer the file to a new larger internal drive?

    I am running win 7 ultimate.  I had two hard drives of 500 GB.  C is partitioned to 120 GB (not enough) I just installed a 1.5 terabyte drive.  What is the best way to transfer my data? I would keep the 500 GB (now C: and D :) and add the 1.5 to, I also have a 2 external to that I tried to move my libraries at, but I'm confused my system.)  I don't know much about indexing or mapping.

    \

    Consider transferring all the files that are currently in the second partition of 500 GB drive that is hosting the C: drive (you have referred to as D :) on the new drive.

    Once you have done this, you can then delete the D: partition since this 1 hard drive. This would then extend the C: drive to actually use all the 500 GB drive. Finally change the drive letter for the 1.5 terabyte disk d: it in disk management ( Diskmgmt.mscRun)

    So in the end you have a 500 GB C drive and a 1.5 TB drive D.

    When it comes to move libraries Windows has a utility to do it for you. If you click on your username at the top right of the menu start all your user profile directories are displayed. If you right-click on each one and select Properties, those that support this feature will have a tab 'location '. In this tab, it displays the current location of the file, but has a button "move". You move the folder and all its files and subfolders in a new location and update the references, the system uses for this folder.

    So if you created a folder on the D drive say 'Juli-year' and you right-click on Favorites, some properties, then on location you can move this summary folder in C:\Users\username\Favourites to D:\Juli-An\Favourites. Not all folders in the user profile supports this but all the c library files and a few others.

    Of course if you did as I suggested and ended with a 500 GB C drive you may need.

    Close Thunderbird

    In windows Explorer, select all and copy.
    just stick on a thumb or other portable media to read/write (not the CD or the DVD)

    on the new Machine to repeat the troubleshooting and close the steps to get the current profile folder

    This time all the portable media stick in the profile to replace what is there

  • What is the best way to retrieve deleted mp3 files? I am running OSX Leopard 10.5.8 on a PowerPC G5 tower. I'll be very grateful for any help in this matter. Thanks to Chris

    Hello

    What is the best way to retrieve deleted mp3 files? I had a lapse of attention and I deleted a folder containing most of my music files. It is for the most part, the mp3 but there was regular audio files and some wav files in there also. I am running OSX Leopard 10.5.8 on a PowerPC G5 tower. I have another PPC machine to help the recovery, if I need, but at the moment, he is not appearing on my network (3 computers). I'm trying to change this soon. I'll be really grateful for any help in this matter.

    Thanks to Chris

  • What is the best way to read this binary file?

    I wrote a program that acquires data from a card DAQmx and he writes on a binary file (attached file and photo). The data I'm acquisition comes 2.5ms, 8-channel / s for at least 5 seconds. What is the best way to read this binary file, knowing that:

    -I'll need it also on the graphic (after acquisition)

    -J' I need also to see these values and use them later in Matlab.

    I tried the 'chain of array to worksheet', but LabView goes out of memory (even if I don't use all 8 channels, but only 1).

    LabView 8.6

    I think that access to data is just as fast, what happens to a TDMS file which is an index generated in the TDMS file that says 'the byte positions xxxx data written yyyy' which is the only overload for TDMS files as far as I know.

    We never had issues with data storage. Data acquisition, analysis and storage with > 500 kech. / s, the questions you get are normally most of the time a result of bad programming styles.

  • What is the best way to record movies on PC and change the names of video files?

    Names of files dvr - ms MCE?

    I use Win XP, SP3, MCE 2005 and I want to change the file name of some of the videos saved on my computer.  Currently I use MCE to record movies at home on my computer and then burn them to DVD.  I plugged the VCR/camcorder for video on computer TV card and MCE set to record 1 channel at say 20:00 and turn my VCR/camcorder to play at this time.  MCE records the film as if it were a recorded TV show.  A few questions:

    Is there a better way to do it?  The home movies are on different formats - Betamax, VHS, camcorder Sony 8 and mini DVD.

    The file is saved with descriptive as - news channel 1, channel information (Direct TV channel label), 20:00, 2 h,-where is this kind of things saved info and I can change it?  If I can change it, what format should I use?

    The video file is saved in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Shared Documents\Shared Video\... and the name of the file to this location seems to match the name of the actual file displayed in MCE - but if I want to change to say "Christmas" birthday 2005, can I do without corrupting the file?  What format constraints are there for the name of the file?

    Is there a better way to change the description and the name than just using windows and right-click on the file and selecting rename?

    And just to repeat the first question - is there a better way to record movies on the computer?

    Thank you
