Problem adding a folder of images
Hi, I have been a user of Lightroom 5 for a while now and everything was absolutely perfect, but I now have a problem adding a folder to put the images in LR. I checked using "Finder" that the images are still there on my external hard drive, which fortunately they are, but when I navigate to that folder in the section "Add files" it shows no images at all, and the 'Import' button is grayed. There is a new catalog, I created for 2015 customers otherwise the only other change is that I have been preselected a few images using photomechanical moved selected files into a new folder created by me. Otherwise I have not changed anything else from my usual game to the top. As a validation test, I tried adding several different sets of RAWS in different folders (which I have previously worked on in other catalogs so I know they were fine before), but I'm having the same problem. Please can anyone help shed light on what clearly is a bit a killer of productivity right now! Thank you very much
DJ - it's a Canon 5 d Mk III, using Lightroom 5.7, and the images are all of the FIRST. All images have been imported from the map in a folder on my external hard drive, before I used photomechanical to them for review.
I am pleased to say that the problem is now solved. I found another thread in forum with many people have exactly the same problem and with various corrections that have worked for them but not for me. Then I found one that worked for many people - just expand the Destination panel and hey presto - all images appeared. How weird randomly - I do not know how it was fixed, but there, so now I'm still productive.
Thanks again to you and Joe for all your interest and your willingness to help - its much appreciated! I'm now going to edit some pictures

Music folder became a folder of images
In my music folder I have files for the music of my son and for mine. In my case, I have a number of subfolders. Now, Windows seems to think that my main Music subfolder is a folder of images, because instead of 'Play All', he said 'Play Slideshow', and when I click on help it offers help with folders of photos. How can I get that back as a music folder?

When I open a folder of images, it no longer displays thumbnail previews of the images
original title: thumbnails not showing upward
For some reason any when I open a folder of images, it no longer displays thumbnail previews of the images. Instead, I get the generic pictures of a red & yellow flower or a lake and mountains. I did research online and found the problem, which was "Always show icons, never thumbnails" was checked in the control PANEL, OPTIONS of FOLDERS, thenVIEW. Once I found the problem, I disabled it and clicked on apply. But nothing. I restarted and it still does not display thumbnail previews. Last night for some reason, he began to build, but then stopped. So, although the "always show icons, never thumbnails" setting is not checked, it will still not display thumbnails. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Can you do a system restore and choose a date where you did NOT have this problem as your restore point?
System Restore:Start button > Search box, type system restore > press the Enter key > uac prompt > click on choose a different restore point > next > select dates as your restore point, until the click > next > finish
To sit and wait. The machine restarts when it's done.Note: In most cases, do it in safe mode system restore is more preferable.
Here's how to get safe mode:Shut down your computer > turn it back on and immediately and repeatedly tab key F8 until you see a black and white screen. The top/down arrow and select Safe Mode.t-4-2

Treatment of a folder of images with Applescript
Hello world
I'm having a problem with my Applescript I want to open a folder of images and processes in PS.
The script works fine on a single test whose path image file I hard coded to open it, but after the addition of the section in a loop, I'm not sure I have the right to open each image.
This part of my script is:
the value sourceFolder to "Users: etc: etc." as alias
the value destFolder to "/ Users/etc: etc.
-source files and destination for the images
say application "Finder" to set imageSet for each file in sourceFolder
say application "Adobe Photoshop CS6.
Activate
set of parameters of the ruler units to pixel units
Repeat with j’ai of 1 in (County imageSet)
set currentImg to the point I the imageSet
Open currentImg
....
(the rest of the code to adjust the images)
....
end repeat
tell the end
"The error I get is" Finder has been an error: document file "(filename)" "(folder name) file" (the rest of the path to the file) startup disk does not understand the message 'open'. "when it stops at the command"open currentImg ".
I was wondering if someone could help me with this? Or offer a code that would work?
Would be appreciated, because it's the last thing I have to do to complete the script and that the work is completed.
THX in advance
Marty
Try this.
-The need to use Applescript file paths with colons for Finder

end say
end Repeat

Hey friends! We you handle a difficult series of photos and moved everything to an external hard drive. Without thinking, I opened and made changes to a picture folder on our main computer and then later on changes in another folder of images in the catalog of external hard drive file.
I would like to merge everything into one place without losing any changes for our two separate records of more recent images. Is there an easy way to do this?
Thank you!
On the external drive, open the LR catalog, select the folder of interest, right-click on the file and choose export this folder as a catalogue...
On the internal disk, open the Lightroom Catalog, select file-> import from another catalog and select the catalog that you created from the external drive.

Problem adding video to Captivate slide
Hello
I'm having a problem adding a video file FLV to Captivate. Basically, after that I have published on a SWF file, the video does not appear on the slide at all. It's just empty.
After searching for a bit, I found that the file FLV MUST include * metadata *.
However, I added medatada with VLC Media Player, and it still shows the same behavior. There's a certain * amount * metadata? Is there a * type * of metadata without which the video not displayed?
Adobe help thread talking about what we call the ' Kit Flash video '-which is a stand-alone product or one extension of another product? Is it free? Are there any other free alternatives?
I'm just very confused.
Thank you!
I ended up answering my own question. But just in case this helps someone else, I'll post my solution.
Essentially, I just re-created the video in MP4 format. Then I used MetaZ (for Mac) to write metadata in the video. Finally, I imported the video as an object and when I posted the video, Captivate it transmutes to the FLV format needed.
The video is now displayed correctly.

Can you have folders in you folder of images and the images are visible?
Can you have records in your image folder and the images still be seen? I have a graphic file with images and they can be seen on the site, however if I insert files in the pictures folder, the images are not displayed, are what I did or is not possible with dreamweaver?
I.e. graphic > pendants > outdoor shots.
Inside or the other of the two last records images do not appear on my site!
Images can be shown no matter where they are in your site. The only downside is that you have a working image link.
For example, Graphic/Pendants/Exteriors_Shots/myImage.png note underscore in the path. This is because many browsers interpret too much space. This means that your subdirectory should be renamed accordingly.

How to perform an action on a folder of images?
The last time I used Photoshop was in 1998, and things have changed a bit. I don't know if I had the time to read all the documentation, I could figure out how to do this, but I am under a very tight deadline and the guy who would normally do image processing is on vacation.
I have a file over 500 images. I need to change the height, width and resolution of each of them. I know how to record an action that I can manually run on open images, but is it possible to perform this action on a folder of images without having to open each one? This could take years if I need to open them before performing the action.
Record that an action do not have a backup in it. After you have this action recorded with no document open in photoshop use menu file > PLC > lot... in the point of dialogue for scripts a whole batch and action, point source to your images folder. In desternation, use drop down the menu and click on save and close.
