New folder and waiting-task

Hello

I am new to VI Toolkit (and indeed to Powershell) but I have a part of a script that I'm building which I'm totally stuck on the syntax for:

The script is as follows - he tries to create a temporary folder for virtual machine, run a clone of a guest in the new folder (and especially a new store of data one is on), then remove the prompt (without 'deletefromdisk' for the new data store has a backup of the files), then deletes the temporary file of virtual machine.

$sourceHost = "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" # this is a VC, not an ESX Server.

$vm2c = "yyyyyyyyyy".

$dataCenter = "zzzzzz".

$destcln = $vm2c + "-clone".

$destdatastr = "Adrar".

$foldername = "~ bath.

$sourceVIServer = connect-VIServer-Server "$sourceHost".

Get-file 'vm ' | New-folder - name $foldername

$FolderID = get-file-name $foldername

$targetfolder = get-view ($FolderID) USER.USER

$destdsview = get-view (get-datastore-name $destdatastr) user.user

$VMCloneSpec = new-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineCloneSpec

$VMCloneSpec.Location = new-Object VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineRelocateSpec

$vmclonespec.location.datastore = $destdsview.moref

$VMCloneSpec.powerOn = $false

$vmclonespec.template = $false

$clntask = (get-View (Get-VM-name $vm2c) USER.USER). CloneVM_Task($targetfolder.) MoRef, $destcln, $VMCloneSpec)

Wait-job $clntask.value

Remove-VM (VM-Get-name $destcln)

Remove-file-name $foldername

The first question I have is with New-folder. I discovered to create a folder that can contain guests, you need to do under the "vm" folder In a vCenter, however I have three individual data centers, it creates the folder under ALL data centers and the script barfs as the search for the file using get-file fails (as there are 3). Is there a way I can specify a specific data center to add my file?

The second question I have is Wait-task. The piece of code that I use comes from these forums and running a CloneVM_Task. I'd give my script to wait for this task to be completed (because of course, I want to follow forward with a deletion-VM on the new virtual machine "cloned"). I can't wait using any combination of ' wait-job-$clntask.value the task ","wait-task-task $clntask', "wait-task $clntask" or "task waiting $clntask.value» Does anyone have the correct syntax for what I'm trying to do - is still possible?

Thanks in advance...

You can use a Get-Data Center, Get-file (or a sequence of these) to move to the location where you want to create the new folder.

Suppose you have 2 data centers DC1 and DC2, each with a folder called Templates.

If you want to create a subfolder in DC2 under the Templates folder you could do it like this

Get-Datacenter DC2 | Get-Folder Templates | New-Folder NewFolder

The Wait-job cmdlet works with an TaskImpl object.

The CloneVM_Task method returns an object task .

To wait for the completion of the task, you can use a construct like this

$taskMoRef = (Get-View (Get-VM -Name $vm2c).ID).CloneVM_Task($targetfolder.MoRef, $destcln, $VMCloneSpec)

$task = Get-View $taskMoRef
while ($task.Info.State -eq "running" -or $task.Info.State -eq "queued") {
  sleep 2
  $task = Get-View $taskMoRef
}

Copy a single file to the new folder and remain in multiple versions

Hello. I am looking for assistance in the next issue. I have a script that helps me to look for a file name and rename it and I have a script that looks like a file and moves it to a new folder. I need one that will combine the two aspects in one based on the example as follows:

I have a picture but need to rename the same file in several versions. (i.e. original image name 7HABLH.jpg to be copied to a new location and renamed with several different names 6HABLH_01.jpg, 6HABLH_02.jpg, 6HABLH_03.jpg, etc...). This produces even a lot of pictures and are all contained in a CSV file that is configured as below

My end result would be the image in the folder/column 'OldImageName' is copied into a new folder and renamed the folder/column "NewImageName." Hope my request is logical that I am a poster the first time also trying to learn the script but I don't have a lot of time to achieve and could use as much help as possible.

Hope that someone out there may be able to help.

Windows or OS X?

Only time that happens, in my limited, knowledge is... If you use a 'illegal' name, such as ":" symbol. There are symbols, that you cannot use as part of a name. When this happens, you should get a warning indicating that the name is not allowed, something to that effect. Then he returns itself back to the new folder.
Suggest you try again with conventional names. See if it works or not.

What happened to my ability to create a new folder and how do I solve this problem?

I can no longer create a new folder on my PC. I used for the right click, select 'new', choose 'new folder' and it appeared. Now, "new folder" is not in the list, and I can't create a same folder by selecting the option from the top of an existing folder. Anyone know what happened? Thank you!

I don't know why, but what is happening lately for a lot of Win7 users.

When I copied the images in a new folder and want to see them they do not appear in this order!

I save all my pictures in Windows Photo Gallery. I create a new folder on the desktop for example and copy photos, then I klick to the first image to start the search, click on the arrow to view the next photo, but they come in mixed order and not in the same order, I copied the. I tried to rename the when they are copied, but who can help doesn´t. What's wrong?

===============================================
Photos will be AutoSort first alphabetically then digitally.

To maintain a certain order during the copy in a new folder or
for a CD... try renaming the files when they are in the order
you prefer as follows:

Organize files the way you want and go to... Edition / select all.

Right-click the photo 'first' the selected (highlighted)
Group and from the menu choose... Name change.

For the first name... Enter a descriptive word for the group,
a space, and the first number

Summer vacation (10001) .jpg

(Yes... Use parentheses and start the number with a 1)
(If you want to add a descriptive title to batch... Leave a
space after the last letter and before the first parenthesis)

Press on... Enter and Windows renames the remaining photos...

Summer vacation (10002) .jpg
Summer vacation (10003) .jpg
Summer vacation (10004) .jpg

Hello Shawn

Thank you. After three years! Find out who is responsible for what and why.

I have dell support phone (I live in the United Kingdom) with free telephone support.

Ideally would like it to email or chat with dell on free number not BT 0844 expensive number

Not your problem! Would like that explained by dell at the time I bought the laptop. Very few documents when my computer arrived very quickly in China.

Thanks again

I managed to prove once last night the backups missed me was on the DVD RW. Only once!

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.

Create the new folder and showed it in the folder Panel

In my plugin, I want to create a subdirectory in my picture folder and showed in the folder Panel.
The first part was not easy...
```
LrFileUtils.createAllDirectories(destinationFolder)
```
After it is created, it is the empty dishes.
Question: How can I get this new folder in the folders Panel.
Even there I try "synchronize folder.." it does not appear.

I think that the only way to get the file appear in the files via a plugin Panel is to import a photo of this file, using catalog:addPhoto ().

Import automatically creates a new folder and I don't want it.

Hey there ' All,.
Lightroom is using for a few years now, and I understood the thought. just installed it on a new computer and now when I import new photos from an SD card, the program creates files and I don't want it. I manually create my own records and want to disable this feature. Anyone know how?
Thank you.
Barry

Hi Barry,.

Please uncheck the option in the subfolder and select one folder in the Destination panel in the import dialog box.

Let me know if it helps.

I moved the files in Lightroom 5 from one drive to another (created the new folder and dragged). Now I see warning of metadata. What has caused this? Can I import or rewrite the difficulty catalogue?

I am reorganizing lots of photos in Lightroom 5. Some who were on my hard drive, I moved to an external drive. I did all this in Lightroom. I created a new folder on the hard drive, external, selected all the images in the folder on the hard disk, trained to the new folder. Made sure they were there. Then deleted the folder on the hard drive. When I looked in Windows Explorer, the (empty) folder was still on the hard drive, so I deleted it there too. Now, I get the warning on the images in the new folder metadata were changed in Lightroom and an external program. The options are to import from disk or rewrite from the catalog. I would like to know what caused this and how to fix it.

Thanks for the clarification of Nancy.

The warning of "metadata conflicts" is an indication that Lightroom "sees" a discrepancy between the data in its catalog and the data in the image file (or in the xmp file) on the real situation which could be due to permissions at the new location.

You should choose the option to replace the parameters, that is, rewrite in the Lightroom Catalog can write changes to metadata of the catalog itself.

(Import of the disc would cancel the metadata changes that you did until now)
