Random allocation/sorting of files in a folder

I would like to know how I can rename and sort files in a folder of photos in a totally random order because I want to create a photo essay?

Thank you very much

Unfortunately, Vista wants to sort the files in a CERTAIN order and will not retain a random order once you close or change your screen - he'll be back on the agenda by default is.  You can add a new column for headings (say Coments) and once you have the files sorted the way you want, go in this column and name each file in order starting with 1 and ending with what is the last file, and then click the comment header to sort the file in this order.  Then it will work (but if you want to change it, you will have to rename all the files many times).

Here is some additional information that can help (although I'm not sure that he will do exactly what you want to do because I don't think that this is possible under Vista):

Here's how to change the default template for a folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/70819-windows-explorer-folder-view-settings.html.  Default behavior is to select the model based on the first type of file placed in the folder (you must choose something).  Vista sets the folder type template according to what are the types of files in the window and the settings display window Explorer. This will show you how to reset the Windows Explorer folder view settings, disable Automatic folder Type discovery and increase the view of the folder cache to have Vista don't forget display settings, model of file type, size, or position of a specific window for when it was still closed to the location of specific path.

It does not work with the Sub record under, Open with, open in a new tab (Internet Explorer), etc... dialog windows of type through the good File menu bar item. These don't seem to be able to have their size or their position to recall. For the latter, you can use the free program http://autosizer.en.softonic.com/ to resize them.

Here is another article on how to modify the columns in Windows Explorer and sort in Vista: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/108665-column-customize.html.  This will show you how Add, Remove, move, change the widthand change the sort order of the columns in Windows Explorer in the way that you want.

Here is another article on how to change the display of the default folders in Vista (but she argues, it is not a perfect solution and can revert to the previous behavior is not as good as the two prior links provided: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13880_3-10019957-68.html.)

I hope this helps in your situation.

Good luck!

  • How can previous import - I sort the files in this folder?

    Hey there!

    On another laptop of mine I exported a 3500 pictures of catalog folder and copied on my main folder PC that they belong (photos/holidays/Japan, etc.).

    I then imported the FichierCatalogue exported from that folder in Lightroom. Now the photos appear in the folder "previous import." But I want to do... images/holidays etc as on the hard drive.

    But I can't figure out how. Lightroom gives me the opportunity to make a new folder and move (means: copy) files in it. But that would be foolish, because already there are where they belong.

    How can I solve this?

    Then of course, clocking was the wrong thing to do and probably made the situation worse. You now have what is called "a true mess" on your hand.

    I don't know what is the best solution for recovery.

    If you have a recent backup of the main catalog to your PC file, which restore and then we can work through the process of importation in such a way that avoids these problems.

    If you do not have a recent backup of the main catalog to your PC file... Well... it's kind conjecture that I have never been in this situation... perhaps someone else has a smarter idea... when... first, make a backup of the catalog as it exists, even if it has problems... then you can delete the photos that you have synced now have no changes or metadata with them. Then try to import the catalog from your laptop and stop when it's over and we can discuss it further. This should make us return to where you were when you posted your first message; does not synchronize.

  • Windows Explorer for Windows 7 - How to stop automatically sort my files

    I have Windows 7.  Explorer Windows automatically sorts my files in each folder.  I put in "sort by..." Name ', so for now he is sorting alphabetically, but no matter what I put in 'Grading', it does it automatically.  But I want to be able to move the files to the folder in different orders, and then once I'm satisfied with the order, then I can change the name of each file and then choose to classify them alphabetically or otherwise.

    For example, this is useful for a folder full of photos.  Let's say I have a folder with 50 photos in there of holiday, and I would like to re - order these photos, but I want to play visually with different orders until I have decide to order, I like most.  So I want to move each file/photo until I like the Decree.  To do this, I would open this particular folder in Windows Explorer, then select the "Large icons" view and then moving the photos until I like order.  And then once I have pictures in the order I want, then I would like to rename each picture (1, 2, 3, etc.) and then Windows Explorer say "sort by...» Nu.  That's how it was on my old computer, but I got XP and now I have Windows 7, but I can't imagine that Windows 7 would not let me do the same thing.  But the way it works for me now, Windows Explorer comes automatically orders/sorts my files depending on the option "sort by" I chose.  So if I change the name of the files (from 'Photo #25' to ' Photo #10 "'), it automatically goes this photo between" Photo #09 "and" Photo #11 ".»»  And if I try to move 'Photo #10' next to say "#37 picture"to see how they look next to each other, it won't let me. "

    so... Is it possible to have Windows Explorer "NOT" sort my files until I have to say?

    Thank you very much!

    See auto arrange links below - it is possible to disable.

    Microsoft has deliberately removed the ability to turn off the auto arrange. Microsoft's response:

    Can I manually organize files in folders?

    Unfortunately when Microsoft Windows Explorer, they made some pretty horrible decisions - which many people complained. There are a lot of other managers of files available, as well free and for a price. One of them might be easier to use and the characteristics you want, here is a list of the most that are available:

    How to fix the Bug of scrolling in the left pane
    See the bottom of this post for help with the bug of scrolling in the left pane.

    The most important features that need to be returned to Windows Explorer:

    (1) the option to turn off the auto arrange.

    (2) fix the Bug of scrolling in the left pane: If you view a folder and expand in the left pane to display its subfolders, the folder is annoyingly prefer to the bottom of the component causing the subfolders do not appear, making it difficult to work with.

    (3) when several files are selected they should stay selected when changing the sort order (ex: name of size). Maintenance of the files selected in the sort should be a requirement, and this feature should not have been removed.

    (4) the option to remember the view settings of each folder (Recalling the positions and sizes of the individual folder window).

    (5) the option to remove 'Complete the selection of lines' to see in detail. "Selection of whole lines" is very annoying when the file is complete and has no empty space to click on. Also, when dragging / delete the file to another folder - if you release the on the line of a subfolder or file de.exe/.zip/.rar 'selection of whole lines' causes the file to be moved in the subfolder ou.exe/.zip/.rar instead file the file provided.

    (6) a search engine with all the advanced search options. No required syntax.

    (7) the option to always display free disk size space and record on the State and/or the details pane toolbar. Also always automatically show the size of the selected files (when several files are selected it will not show the total size).

    (8) the ability to scroll the window/pane mouse is with the mouse wheel, even if this window/pane is not selected.

    Inform you want Windows explorers returned Microsoft functions:

    Given that many people seem to agree that some or all of the changes made to Windows Explorer were actually less friendly user, you can go to the Windows 7 comments page and (politely) to let them know your suggestions to improve:

    http://mymfe.Microsoft.com/Windows%207/feedback.aspx?formid=195

    Note: do not have the message that is too long, there is a size limit for your message, even if page does not tell you on this subject. Also, do not just copy and paste from the list above - they'll think that the same person is repeatedly submit comments.

    Using the classic interface to restore functionality of Windows Explorer

    After you have installed the free Classic Shell , you can customize Windows Explorer more closely to how you want it, the quote below is just a way to do it. Click here to see some of the options that you can customize, and here is the FAQ page.

    A solution that worked for the restoration of some features.

    (1) install the free classic Shell. It's free, completely customizable and works like a mod for Windows Explorer, rather than a full blown replacement. Personally, I did not fit the classic Start Menu option, but you can if you wish.
    (2) restart the computer.
    (3) launch Windows Explorer and turn on "Always show Menus" (it's just for the configuration, you can disable it again later if you want).
    (4) make a right click on the menu bar and turn in the "Classic Explorer bar. This adds a series of icons for cut/copy/paste in Explorer. Basically, it also adds the "Configuration" icon
    5) go to the configuration and from there you can edit things to your heart's content. To kill the horrible record-jumping 7 Windows, place you Vista in 'Style Navigation pane. You can even go more retro and hit return to XP mode if you want (this adds lines to the tree of folders and adds a classic icon "+" for the expansion of folders).
    (6) set the parameters of other institutions. I have so that the bit "more details" in the dialogues of copy is automatically extended, I checked the option "display free space and size of the file in the status bar" (no need to right click on the drive to see how much space is left), personally, I decided to stay with the "overwrite file" dialog box Windows 7 style (the default is the simplest dialogue style Vista/XP) , and I went for the Windows Vista style folders display that looks about the same as the view from Windows 7, but get rid of the horrible jump.

    After that, you can activate the toolbar and menus walk back to explore if you wish. Explorer Windows seems largely the same, but folders is no longer jumping around.

    Now if only MS allows to code correctly so that we don't have to mess with third-party applications to get Windows actually works...

  • Sorting files in a folder

    I use Windows 7 Enterprise, I have over 2000 files in a folder that I rename consicutively (1,2,3,4).  When I rename the file, it sends to the correct order and I loose track of what number I used and that you must stop, go until after oppposite of files and pick up what my next number should be or let it ask me if I want to rename it with (2) behind it.  Anyway is frustrating and time-consuming.

    Is anyway to stop the reorganization of the files until I say replenishment?  XP let me pick up when I tried their rearranged.

    You can't stop the refreshing, but you can get drag and drop then rename all at the same time.

    You will need to start for example select all and... like your first name if 00001.

  • wdseml missing files in a folder

    I use Thunderbird 31.5.0 on Win 7 (64). I sort my messages in several subfolders. In Windows Explorer, I drilled down in my profile and discovered (within the inbox.sbd) that *.mozmsgs file of each folder contains *.wdseml files, except one - the folder that I use, on rare occasions, to store important messages that I want to be able to find easily. (The message in the most recent case is around the age of 9 months.)

    The messages in this folder ARE present on the normal screen of Thunderbird - they simply lack the storage location behind the scenes.

    Are these files wdseml purged automatically when they get too old? Y at - it hurt to leave things as they are? (For example, Windows will not be able to index the?) And if there is any value to what files, is there a way to recover them?

    Like Matt said the WDSEML files are just duplicates created to enable Windows Search find your email. They are contained in the mozmsgs subfolders. I don't think that you can read them directly, and they are not what you read when you use Thunderbird.

    You try to read from the Windows Explorer or something

    You can disable them by deselecting Windows Search in Tools Options Advanced General but stops at their creation. He won't get rid of them. I have not removed mine so cannot confirm that it makes no difference to Thunderbird but think Matt will have given the right answer.

  • Download the files from the folder on the external drive

    I have this script that opens the most recent file in a folder.

    However I have now moved to an external drive.

    I thought I would use this line

    last element of the value latestFile (sort (get the files in the folder "HotFolderA" of the "Dropbox folder" from the folder "CloudStorage" in the folder "Volumes" of the file ((path to the startup disk))) by creation date) as alias

    but that

    Result:

    error "' Finder has been an error: cannot get the file \"Volumes\ ' startup disk. " ' number-1728 of the folder "Volumes" of startup disk

    How can I do it keep this method?

    Matt

    tell application "Finder"
      set latestFile to last item of (sort (get files of folder "AA" of folder (path to desktop folder)) by creation date) as alias
    set fileName to latestFile's name
    
     open latestFile
    end tell
    

    You used the backslash \ (like Windows) instead of the slash /.

  • How can I sort my files by name, but the content by date?

    I am on Windows 7 and trying to sort my files in the order of name and the contents of each folder in date order, but if I change IT automatically changes them both?  How to do this?

    You can not in Vista - that option is not available.  The following items can help you with the setting folder models and change the sort order to some degree Vista allows:

    Here's how to change the default template for a folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/70819-windows-explorer-folder-view-settings.html.  Default behavior is to select the model based on the first type of file placed in the folder (you must choose something).  Vista sets the folder type template according to what are the types of files in the window and the settings display window Explorer. This will show you how to reset the Windows Explorer folder view settings, disable Automatic folder Type discovery and increase the view of the folder cache to have Vista don't forget display settings, model of file type, size, or position of a specific window for when it was still closed to the location of specific path.

    It does not work with the Sub record under, Open with, open in a new tab (Internet Explorer), etc... dialog windows of type through the good File menu bar item. These don't seem to be able to have their size or their position to recall. For the latter, you can use the free program http://autosizer.en.softonic.com/ to resize them.

    Here is another article on how to modify the columns in Windows Explorer and sort in Vista: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/108665-column-customize.html.  This will show you how Add, Remove, move, change the widthand change the sort order of the columns in Windows Explorer in the way that you want.

    Here is another article on how to change the display of the default folders in Vista (but she argues, it is not a perfect solution and can revert to the previous behavior is not as good as the two prior links provided: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13880_3-10019957-68.html.)

    I hope this helps in your situation.

  • What should I do MANUALLY (photos) files in a folder?

    How do I MANUALLY organize files (photos) in a folder and KEEP this particular order so that when I run the 'Slide show' option, it will go through the photos in the order that I want to, and not in the alphanumeric sort by file name order?  Even if I clicked and dragged photos in a particular order, when I close the file and come back, the system re - rearranges all files in alphanumeric order by file name.  I want to keep the particular order (photos) files in a folder that I have arranged manually by clicking on and drag, without having to re - organize them whenever I go in the folder for a slide show.

Second more serious problem is the old question of sorting by file name in the Organizer. It was never too a problem for me until I started to import photos from my EOS 7 d MarkII where I used the 10 FPS burst high speed. When I try to see the shots in Organizer, they are just all over the place in a completely random order. The date/time of camera records in the EXIF info, but at 10 FPS resolution of these data are not enough to keep the image in the sequence. I noticed previously with slower cameras sometimes multiple pictures appear out of sequence, but now it's worse.

    Can someone tell me if PSE13 also suffers from this limitation? What about Lightroom? I have to update? I have thousands of photos in my catalog and I invested a lot of time and effort in the categorization and tagging of my images. I'd hate to have to do all over again, but if Adobe can't help but then I might have to leave the ship elsewhere to see if a competing product can help.

    Thank you, Keith Adley

    The absence of order of alphabetical sorting in PSE11 has been fixed in PSE12 and 13.

    Just download the demo version of PS13, and you should see that your gross issue has also been resolved.

    You should have no problem to convert your catalogs from PSE11 to the new version without losing anything.

  • CS6 bridge crashing when there's a GIF file in the folder.

    Out of the box, Adobe Bridge was "randomly" crash when opening files.

    To determine the cause of the accident, I created a new folder and drag the files one by one. among the other issues that crashed the bridge.

    All this works end until I drag a GIF file, and then it just stopped responding and immediately blocked.

    I tried with several different GIF files, and they seem to all be blocked the bridge.

    Ideas of all parameters to prevent this?

    I, of course, need to work with gifs, so those filtering is not a solution.

    Thank you!

    Oh wow, I found a solution!

    Instead of using Adobe Bridge CS6 (64-bit), I used the non - 64-bit Adobe Bridge CS6 version, and these GIFs work now.


    It's really weird because I have a 64 bit OS and I use other products Adobe 64-bit without problem.

    Thanks for the help guys, I guess that the 64 bit version has some problems.

  • Create a list of files in the folder

    Hey,.

    I have a new section where a user can add new ones to the site via a form, it collects the following information and stores them for MySQL DB: title, date (timestamp), history, attachment

    Some news will have an attachment with it as a pdf file I want to be able to store the path to the database when there are added, the news.

    If there is an attachment, I have need of the user will be able to select from a drop-down list - it must retrieve a list of files in a folder (news_files) on the server and when the news is added to the path and file name is stored in the database with the coresponding record.

    I already have the download of sorting part, I just need a way to read the files when they are uploaded and them disply in a menu drop-down.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    Drew

  • How to select all the other files in a folder?

    I have the folder with 1200 jpg - each 1 a 24 fps movie image. I want to select other images to import in my animation program manager (so my film output will be 12 fps)

    How easily - without having to buy an app - select all OTHER files in the folder?

    (for example some thing help Automator/rename? idk...)

    TIA!

    The Finder, choose utilities go to menu, open the Script Editor and run a script such as:

    Tell application "Finder".

    timeout to 600 seconds

    Set the_files to {}

    Repeat with this_file 1 (count files of the window 1) by 2

    Set the the_files the_files & (this_file window 1 as an alias of the file)

    end repeat

    Select the_files

    end time-out

    tell the end
