Problem with the importation and storage of library

I have sewing miss the logic in the import and storage of the photos in the library. This causes a situation that whenever I need a picture I need to go to C: and import it. My library is almost empty and I don't see how the images can be stored. In any case, this has created situations where I open the import window and I can see the pictures, but I can't access somehow? I get same messages telling me that there is that a dublicate somewhere, but where, remains a mystery. I am so set on logic in windows to manage and store files and which confuses me maybe? Is there a tutorial "how to import and store your images in Lightroom? Enlighten me about the logic of this.

Thank you

Lightroom is a database; not a file browser. A file Explorer "focuses on" your records, sees that the pictures are here and allows you to work with them. Lightroom does not. He knows only the photos that have been imported into Lightroom. Once the photo is imported into Lightroom, then Lightroom knows the location of the photo and it's metadata and you can perform tasks (such as editing on the photo). At no time does Lightroom contains your photo. At no time Lightroom stores your photo. But since it is not a file Explorer, if you move or rename or delete the photo outside of Lightroom, then Lightroom no longer knows where's the picture (it is not a file browser) and if the photo is reported as missing (it has a question mark icon) and you can no longer perform tasks on this photo.

Therefore, once you import a photo in Lightroom, you must perform all the management of this photo of in Lightroom. This means do not move or rename or delete the photo in your operating system or another program. You will need to browse/search the photo in Lightroom, not your operating system. All the actions performed on the photo must be done in Lightroom.

Why? A database allows you to organize in a way that is not possible (or possible but very difficult) to do in your operating system. The main tool of organization ensuring (in my opinion) by Lightroom's keywords. Keywords and other metadata (captions, titles, collections, etc.) give you the opportunity to organize in ways that folder organization cannot reach.

In addition, Lightroom allows you to simplify your workflow (if you want). My workflow is very simple. In my workflow, there is no need to move photos from here to there, to reach the organization. A photo comes out a camera and is placed in a folder by default (by date of capture), and he never moves out of this folder again. Instead, I use the keywords and other metadata to enable me to quickly find my photos, and another advantage is that I don't no need to know the pictures are found in the folder. With 22000 photos, I just can't remember what they are stored in folders - it is a task that is impossible for me to do. However, I can find any photo quickly; for example, if the content of the photo is a skyscraper, I simply tell Lightroom to find all my photos that have the keyword "skyscraper" and Lightroom will find that almost instantly and I didn't even have to know which folder the file was in. It is difficult for me to imagine a simple workflow.

Note: you can continue to use the files as a method of organization, you don't have to use keywords, but you must "respect the rules of Lightroom" and use Lightroom to move pictures from here to there, and you must use the methods of Lightroom to rename your photos; etc. And of course, if your organization only be made via the files and folders, you do not get profits of keywords and other metadata.

Then, I suggest you do the following with your workflow:

Import photos into Lightroom once and only once. After that, there are all the management of the pictures that have been imported into Lightroom. Photos should be assigned keywords as appropriate and enter captions, titles and other metadata. All the searching and browsing of photos that were imported should be made in Lightroom, preferably using keywords and other metadata.

  • Dropped audio at the end of one. File VOB (problem with the import. VOBs, I guess)

    Here's what I did. I created several DVDs by recording VHS videos for them. I copied these DVD on my PC, giving me dozens of DVD files with. VOB files in them. I imported the. VOB files for each DVD in Premiere Pro sequences, but still get (which means that every time) dropped audio since the last images of each. VOB file in the sequence. So, in between all of them. VOB file in a video DVD full, there is a very brief break in audio. To be exact, the audio is 'cut' last 13 executives of each. VOB. However, the start of the next. VOB in the sequence begins with the audio as it should (at the very 1st picture). Video is not cut at the end of each. VOB and usually the transitions in the next. VOB smoothly, with no problems. However, occasionally, the latest image of one. VOB looks "glitched" (imagine two sequential images overlapping each other, but within a framework... so that you can see two of the same person who overlap who move from the 1st to the 2nd section). When this happens, the start of the next. VOB file in the sequence is largely pixelated for the first 2 or 3 images.

    I guess it's a problem with the import of first Pro CC. VOB files (she just can't handle.) VOBs). I would like to know if anyone has had a similar problem, and if you have found a solution.

    It is a long-standing problem.  Here's my work around.

  • HP 15 laptop: problem with the touchpad and the key "stuck."

    Hello!
     
    Last weekend, I have an irritating problem with my HP 15 laptop. Bought two years ago and upgrades to Windows 10 a year ago.
     
    First of all, my touchpad started to not work properly. It "freezes" and I can't use it until I click the ESC key, but it doesn't last and "freezes" again a few seconds later. Then, everytime I open a window where there is a text box (Start menu, edge browser, Control Panel, etc.), the number 5 is entered automatically and permanently, as if the button 5 has been blocked. I did a quick check and button 5 do not seem physically stuck.
     
    Yesterday, I restored the system to the factory settings, so I'm back to 8.1 for Windows and then upgraded to Windows 10. Everything seems to work fine, but this morning, the problem was back. Is there something I can do? What is the problem caused by Windows 10 or the computer? Should I restore it to Windows 8.1? Everything worked great til last weekend, I don't know what that was.
     
    Thank you in advance for your help!

    Welcome to the HP support community @gouch3.

    I understand that you have a problem with the keyboard and the touchpad on your laptop from HP 15.

    Have you tried to use a keyboard external and mouse at all?

    Have you tried to go to Safe Mode to see if the problems persist in there?

    Have you tried to perform a material or forced reset Reset?

    Did you do a test of material?

    Have you updated your drivers?

    It could be a driver problem to be able to look at that for you, I need your model number. I wish I could give you an answer or not, but at this point without the troubleshooting results and the model number, it is difficult for me to say.

    I can say that if everything works in point 8.1 of Windows without problem, the driver TROUBLESHOOTING is a great place to start. Please try to follow these steps for the keyboard and the touchpad of troubleshooting:

    • Beginning
    • Search for Device Manager
    • Search results, open Device Manager.
    • Click on display
    • Show hidden devices.
    • Click the arrow next to keyboards.
    • Right click on the name of the keyboard device.
    • Select uninstall.
    • Continue deleting the names of devices in the category keyboards until the feature of all the names have been uninstalled.
    • Restart the laptop twice.

    Touchpad:

    • Type of research, "Device Manager."
    • Click on Device Manager,
    • Expand mice and other pointing devices.
    • Right click on the TouchPad,
    • Click on uninstall.
    • Restart the computer laptop twice,
    • Reinstall the TouchPad card.

    I found a document of troubleshooting for you to try also called Portable keyboard troubleshooting. Please be sure to follow the steps described in this document.

    The best document I have for TouchPad problems is the use and troubleshooting of the TouchPad and ClickPad document. 

    Here is a link to the HP Support Assistant, if you need it. Just download and run the application and it will help with the software and drivers that need to put up-to-date.

    This is a great question other clients may also be questioned. When we came to a resolution, please share what has worked for you with others by marking this post as an acceptable Solution. If you want to show appreciation for my efforts today, please take a second to click the Thumbs Up button below.

    If you need assistance, I would be more than happy to continue to help you. Please re-post with the results of the resolution of the problems. Could you please also provide your model number (How can I find my model number or product number?)

  • Problem with the report and the system of axis 2d

    Hi, I'm trying to write a script with tiara, who wrote a 2d axis system in the report but I'm having a lot of problems with it.

    What I'm trying to do, is make 3 or more system axis 2d in the report, each displaying a part of the data of 2 channels (x = ch0, ch1 = y).

    With only 1 graphic I get what I want, but when I try to add the 2nd or the 3rd, they show without my defined x-scale and with the offset x different from the first chart.

    I tried everything, but I could not remedy

    I added as attachments the .csv file that I use to ch0 and ch1 and 2 screen shoots "what I get" (about the problem with the script) and "what I hope to get" (done manually, is what I'm trying to get the report)

    Hi lerman,.

    Here is an edited version of your code that works on my computer.  A problem that I know that I fixed it was that your presentation of the STATE was in the name-oriented mode but you use the variables based on the number to assign it X and Y channels.  The execution of these commands in a loop FOR makes it much easier to debug the code and to avoid any annoyance at first.
