Need to move imports LR in single folder

I imported several pictures and they have all been put in folders by date. I want to move everything in one folder to clean up the mess and make it easier to find things. They are currently in LR external hard drive and files. Is this possible? Thanks for your help!

Hello-

In addition to the useful and correct of 99jon response, I've included a useful link on the basics of importing images. Next time to import, you can set the import to your specific folder destination.

At the end of the link, so a helpful video demonstrates the import workflow.

Please let me know if you have any other questions,

  • LR 4, how to import in a single folder?

    I guess what's new in LR 4, but when I import, I select the folder I want pictures imported worms, but LR to create subfolders for each day, not what I want.

    For example, I just imported my CF card images shot this last weekend and ended up with four subfolders (24-05-2012, 2012-05-25, 26-05-2012 and 2012-05-27).

    What I wanted was for all the images in a single folder.

    Am I missing an option that is set somewhere?

    Thank you

    The Destination panel appears as long you have selected in the top middle of the import dialog box.

    It shows only when you select or .

    means that the imported photos are added to the catalog but stay where they are right now.

    means that the photos are imported and moved to a new location on your hard drive.

    means that they are imported and copied to the new location.

    When you import pictures from camera or memory card directly into Lr, you select .

    When you download photos first through your BONE and they are already at the location where you want it, you would select import into Lr.

  • Firefox 6 need to move the cache (files temporary folder) to a specific file

    Hello I need to know how to move the temporary file for firefox folder 6. I managed to do it easily for IE as it can be done from the settings tabs for firefox but, I need to access the topic: config so I understand. However after that I implemented browser.cache.disk;D:\Temporary Internet Files and browser.cache.offline;D:\Temporary Internet Files, nothing seems to happen like firefox still uses the original place

    Pref is correct browser.cache.disk.parent_directory - does not exist by default, the user needs to create.

    PS Microsoft: This backup/do imaging software, why don't we name the image so many can all be stored on easily in one place without having to go and rename it or move them elsewhere?

    Hello TomZork,

    Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.

    In another forum, I found the instructions to move folders of users to another drive.
    You can follow the post here. This is attributed to Jimmie R. Houts.

    Article:
    You can move the entire folder C:\Users to another drive quite easily once windows is installed:

    1. Boot from the installation media and access the command prompt (I think you need to click on fix everything first)
    2. Use Robocopy to copy C:\Users to D:\Users: robocopy c:\Users d:\Users /mir /xj
      a. /mir says robocopy to mirror directories, this will copy all files and permissions
      b. /xj is very important, it means robocopy does not follow the points of junction. If you forget this, you will have a lot of trouble.
    3. Make sure that the files copied successfully
    4. Delete c:\Users
    5. Create the junction pointing d:\Users: mklink /d c:\Users d:\Users

    That's all. I used this process for Vista RTM with no problems.

    Here's an article that explains as well. Just use robocopy instead of xcopy as it does in the article in order to avoid possible ntfs permissions problems.

    Update: because I discovered the hard way, I thought I would mention also that if you plan on switching "Program Data", or "Program Files" with this method, you will be disappointed to know that everything works as expected, but the windows updates will install is no longer. I don't know if this problem has been fixed in Win 7.

    With the foregoing, it is not a Microsoft forum or Web site so you will have to use at your own risk. I also recommend to do a system restore point before making any changes in directories that you can then go back to a previous state.

    Please reply back and let us know if these suggestions help you to solve your problem, then to benefit others.

  • I need to move content from an old account to a new account on my IMac

    Hello

Thank you

    Hello FMATB,

    Please ask for help here in the Apple Support communities. I will be happy to provide you with options for you to do all your account data on your iMac, the account that you usually use on the same computer.

    The more simple since you already have now all the data on the same computer, a little less than two different accounts, is to locate and organize your iTunes Media folder in the unused account. This article helps Apple will help you ensure that all of your songs, playlists, play counts, and library is consolidated and ready to go: locate and organize your iTunes files.

    Once this is done, this help article has a few options, and it also offers images to help you move the library using an external hard drive or flash (USB key). How to move your iTunes library to a new computer. "Since the data are on the same computer, just under different accounts, I recommend that you check" part 3: copy the backup to iTunes on your new computer ", but you can use the hard disc or flash drive (thumb) method, or you can use the Shared folder, located in the Finder, Macintosh HD, users shared.

  • How copy/paste or copy/move a file to another folder in Windows XP

    I need to copy/paste or copy/move the files from one folder to program existing to another folder.

    Use the movement commands to copy do?

    Hi Jimmyjack1941,

    I suggest you to read the following articles for more information.

    These are the items if you use the Windows Explorer to perform operations:

    To copy a file or folder

    http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/windows_fcab_copy_file.mspx?mfr=true

    To move a file or folder

    http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/windows_fcab_move_files.mspx?mfr=true

    You can follow these commands to move and rename the file or folder using the command prompt:

    Moves files and renames files and directories.

    To move one or more files:
    MOVE [/Y | /-Y] [drive:] [path] file1 [,...] destination

    To rename a directory:
    MOVE [/Y | /-Y] [drive:] [path] dirname1 repert2

    [drive:] [path] file1

    Specifies the location and name of the file or files you want to move.

    destination

    Specifies the new location of the file. Destination can consist of a drive letter and colon, a directory name, or a combination. If you move a single file, you can also include a file name if you want to rename the file when you move it.

    [drive:] [path] dirname1

    Specifies the directory you want to rename.

    repert2

    Specifies the new name of the directory.

    /Y

    Deletes the request for confirmation that you want to replace an existing destination file.

    Y

    Causes of request for confirmation that you want to replace an existing destination file.

    The switch /Y may be present in the COPYCMD environment variable. This can be derived with / y on the command line. Default value is quick to replace unless is running of command MOVE within a command script.

    Example:

    move c:\windows\temp\*.* c:\temp

    Move the temporary directory c:\windows\temp files in the root, this is of course assuming you have the windows\temp folder.

    Note: Microsoft does not move the files/folders installed application.

    Hope this information helps.

  • Merge several files in many subfolders in a single folder tree

    I have several sets of records, each with several subfolders, trees each subfolder that contains several files. I would like to merge all this into a single folder tree, maintaining the same subfolder structure and each subfolder containing a single set of files, eliminating all inevitable duplicates of the merger.

    Do this manually with Windows Explorer, it is painful and long. I have to select all the files in any subfolders, and then drag the selection to the subfolder in the main folder tree, choose 'move and replace' and check "do the same for the next x conflicts and repeat this process for each of the many secondary issues."

    Although I did an online search before posting this call for assistance, I have saw that of the utilities that will merge all files into multiple files in a single folder, I saw not a utility that will do what I need.

    I hope that someone will know of a utility that will allow me to win this manually for the next years!

    Thank you in advance.

    useful43

    The solution proved to be easier than I thought.

    Rather that you select all of the files in each folder separately, which was painful and long, I chose each tree at once, and Windows Explorer did the rest, as it did before.

  • How can I move files to the system folder?

    Hi all

    I was wondering how to move files to the system folder. With the update to El Capitan and the former program is no longer works and the developer suggests moving some files on the system folder that should fix it, but even if an administrator account I don't have write access to the system-> library folder where they need to go. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you!

    Steve

    In short: you do not have. The folder/System is only for Apple.  The new protections in El Capitan make it impossible for you to place the files.

    This is what the folder/library for: install additional components to the system, but keeping them separated from the basic installation.

    What software are you trying to run? What files we told you to move? I'm curious to know what type of developer will tell you to put the files in / System.

  • How to move a full email inbox folder to a folder on the desktop

    I have an Inbox folder with more than 200 great children phoyos.  Is it possible to move the entire folder from the Inbox to another folder on my desktop?

    One is 6 pages of info, I want to move in the same way, instead of moving each piece.  Just to let you know that I am novice tech so I need, step by step or in ordinary language old please.

    It depends on what program you use for e-mail. If you use a client of e-mail like Outlook Express, Windows Live Mail, Thunderbird, etc, all you need to do is create a Windows folder everywhere where you wand for example My Documents. Open OE and Ctrl + A to highlight all messages. Drag the messages to the Windows folder. They will remain in the mail so client until you remove them.

    To move all: select one and Ctrl + A will highlight all. -Move

    To move a section: highlight the first one you want to remove. Scroll to last and click while holding down the SHIFT key. -Move

    To move several messages that alternate: hold down the CTRL key while you click each message in order to highlight. -Move

  • 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.

  • Renaming of documents by adding an annex of the commune for the names of existing files on several files in a single folder

    Is it possible to add an annex to the town (for example "-file BL ') existing file name (for example"daily reports1) to several (selected) files in the same folder?  (The example given could therefore be renamed "daily reports - comes from the BL file").  I need to do this to identify the source of documents folder when they are copied into a common folder: to compare with the similar files in other folders for various purposes.  There are a lot of documents in many files, I need to transfer and compare.  A rough estimate, it is that I need to add an annex to the town of 200 files named differently in a single folder and repeat this process for 30 files: with my existing knowledge of XP, this means that I would have use the rename individually on 6000 documents, and if the additional annex has been say 5 characters which would be a minimum of 30 000 key strokes : If adding appendages common to several document names selected in a folder is possible, this might reduce the name change to close to 150 list.

    PLEASE NOTE the multiple rename function where each selected file is the same thing with a renamed after the index number in brackets should not be - the original file name should be kept.

  • Export the contacts from Windows Mail in a single folder

    Original title: How can I export contacts from Windows Mail in a single folder. It seems that export all? Help!
    Trying to export contacts to a folder only in gmail, but cannot select one.

    Hello

    There is no option in Windows Mail to export a specific contact group.
    You can export all contacts to Excel and edit/print as you wish.
    Follow these steps to export the Windows Mail Contacts to Excel:
    a. open Windows Contacts by clicking on the Start button, all programs, and then clicking Windows Contacts.
    b. on the toolbar, click on export and then click on the CSV format.
    CSV (Comma Separated Values). It is a format of generic file used to export or import information to and from databases or spreadsheets.
    c. click Export, select a folder where you want to store your contacts in the new format and then click OK.
    d. when a message appears telling you that the contacts export process is complete, click OK and then click Close.

  • LR 5.7 - impossible to create a new folder and import photos in this folder [was: could Adobe Lightroom Fix so that it is functional?]

    I can't believe that after use adobe for years that lightroom can be this difficult to maneuver - please fix this intuitive user program. It is so far for simplicity of use. Please fix or return to support the opening. My images/files and folders are a total disaster.

    .. .you you create a folder and cannot import directly in this folder, etc.

    Perhaps the difficulty here, comes to design two sequential tasks, rather than one integrated task, for example:

    • Make a folder, manually put the pictures in there, then go and find this place AGAIN, for an import with TDA
    • Create a folder, and then to go and find this place again as an import with the copy destination

    No one who is attractive to me. Lightroom is IMO more useful when rationalizing away the boring stuff.

    LR can make the file for YOU and drop the images into that, according to your instructions, while import.

    "Let's say that my system was focused on the year at the top level, then the month, then records a day in this framework, each preceded the date in a format standard, so-called ' 2016 - 07 - 16. LR can run it for me immediately, as an automatic process of hands-free and without error. So if I want to, after import, I can add a descriptive text (customer, situation, whatever) on a given from LR folder name.

    Otherwise I want can I have LR just go a standard parent folder and then type a name of subfolder custom in the dialog import (Destination Board) in order to meet the specific needs of this - if not automated - import with a copy. Type in certain keywords lot too, perhaps.

    IOW: remember that an import preset to re - initialize the import settings and individualize then from there. But I prefer the former kind Setup that even if you do not individualize that is offered to all, always not something that auto-fichiers images in a useful and meaningful way. I do not customize folder names myself, so this just just there.
