Reorganize the structure of folder with LR?

Hello world

I currently have all the photos on my local drive using this structure, MyPictures\YYYY-MM-JJ. I just got an extra envelope with two discs and I put disks in mirror for backup purposes. I would change the structure of file at YYYY\MM\DD (ex: 2009\12\19). Is it possible to import files in LR to their current path and copy them to the new path based on the date of shooting and have the catalogue LR pointing to the new path for these files?

If you mean reimport the photos that are already in LR to get the folder structure you want... it's not a good idea, as re-imorting loses a lot of information, including historical edition, Member of the collection. In addition, you lose all your metadata (keywords, captions, etc.), unless you have first LR write these xmp data.

If the photos have never been imported into LR, the import process can move files in the folders that you want, this option can be selected in the dialog box import LR.

Let me tell you that my worry about minor changes in the structure of folders seems to miss the big point of the Lightroom library module, which gives you much more powerful tools for organizing your photos as folder name/structure. Just because you change your folder structure does not mean that it is a useful thing to do. With the help of keywords, captions and other metadata will give you something more flexible and powerful than anything you could make by using folders.

  • Use Lightroom to reorganize the Structure of the file

    I've been using Lightroom for a few years now, and unfortunately, I don't have a blueprint for good record when I started.  My portfolio is currently distributed between several portable drives.  I recently bought a Drobo, and I want to spend all my photos on this drive.  I would prefer that all my photos were organized in folders by date on the Drobo.

    Is there a way to have Lightroom move all the photos in a catalog on a different hard drive with a new structure of the Organization (while preserving all the changes I've done)?

    Thank you!

    Yes, there is a way, but you must do it manually.

    First download LR to recognize your Drobo as a reader. Then - from in LR! -create the folders and subfolders on the Drobo.

    Then in the library Module's grid view go to ' all my photographs "(upper-left in the catalog Panel)-you could gave it a different name.

    Go > view > sort > Capture time. All your images should now be sorted according to the date and time.

    You can then use filters to filter all the photographs taken on a certain day / month / year.

    All these select and drag and drop them into your new folder on the Drobo.

    Do it with all your images.

    WW

    PS: It would be wise to do everything from in LR. If you create folders outside the LR and then drag the images in these cases also outside LR, you will get the message "missing image" galore and you spend a lot of time to score LR to the new location of your images. If you do everything for in LR, the catalog will be updated automatically.

  • How to replace a part of the structure XML text with an image.

    I need to replace specific items within my XML structure with a picture and I have problems using the existing XML structure for that.

    I was expecting something as simple as myDoc.xmlElements [0] .xmlElements [0] .xmlElements [0] .silence = new File ("MyImgPath.ext");

    I can use GREP to search the text of each item in my XML structure I want to replace the text, place the image and the result is what I want.  However, in the rare case where the same text as the header, is in one of the paragraphs he too would be replaced by the image and we can have.

    My XML structure is slightly more complicated, but this example contains the necessary elements:

    > Root

    > Group

    > Header

    > Article

    Well, I managed to find a solution to my problem.  I don't know if it's the best way to go about this, but it works for me.

    myDoc var = app.open ('/ / the/path/to/my/doc ', OpenOptions.OPEN_COPY);

    var myDoc.xmlElements = myXML [0] .xmlElements [x] .xmlElements [0];

    var myImg = new FIle ('//path/to/my/image');

    myXML.contents = "; To clear all the text

    myDoc.select (myXML); Selects the xmlElement

    myDoc.selection [0] .insertionPoints [0] .place (myImg); Place the image in the selection

    It is a forum for Windows 7 with tips on Windows 7.

    Windows XP is different, these instructions will not apply.

    You can open a command prompt in Windows XP, then use the CD controls to get the folder you want.

    If you have installed the Windows XP command window open herePowerToy* then this can happen more quickly - to aid that allows to simply right-click on any folder & open a command already defined for this folder.

    * There was also formerly a very convenient Explore of PowerToy here but that is no longer available from MS - you will find perhaps at cnet or another download site.

    There is also a Windows XP forum.

  • I had to install a fresh install of Win7 on a Win7 computer. Old settings are in the Windows.old folder. How can I migrate the old settings for new install?

    I tried to 'upgrade' a Win7 installation using a valid Win7 upgrade CD. Because the current version is newer than the CD, it would not be upgraded. I created an installation on the old HDD. All my old programs are still on the HARD drive. I have the Windows.old folder on the HARD disk. I backed up the My Documents folder with all my data. It is now restored. I need to get the old registry settings in the registry again so I did not reinstall all my programs. How can I do this?

    Unfortunately, you will need to reinstall all your programs from their original installation discs.

    What you should have done was to download a current copy of the edition of Windows 7, you have a license for Service Pack 1 integrated and do an upgrade of the repair.

    Unfortunately, it's too late now, since you seem to have done a custom installation.

  • LR: Export or publish LR folder with subfolders to HD with the same folder structure

    It is in fact an enhancement request that I post here because I found no option in the web site for the enhancement requests.

    In Lightroom, I would like to have a way to export or publish a Lightroom folder with subfolders to a hard drive for export or publishing retains the same folder structure, including file names and subfolder. My idea is to create a JPG of all my raw files edited in another drive outside of Lightroom. If I move images autour, change file names, or do further editing in any image, I'd like it to appear on the external copy. Theoretically, I should be able to publish my albums directory and all subdirectories of my would be automatically included and copied to the external hard drive.

    Lightroom has currently a way to publish on a hard drive, but it is a feature of dish (of level) publication, for the moment.

  • the event structure cannot combine with other events and run only once

    Why it will always get stuck when I combined the 'new user add' event to the event of 'Login '?

    It works for me when I separate the two, but the 'Add a new user' button can work but only once for the structure above, program will be blocked on the second time that I press the button "add a new user".

    It has already been said, you must use that a single structure of the event and not 2. Also, avoid using local variables (better store data in a shift register and not in an indicator) how you do it, it can cause bad racing conditions.

    Actually here you just don't another data storage since you have a file. Don't store data file to the root of the C drive, you do not have write permission. Use the default data folder or the folder of the application.

    I have attached a simple example. I guess that's a work at home? Please make my account help: try to understand why your VI does not work and try to find a solution by yourself. Modify my sample and play with him. This is how you learn LabVIEW. If something is not clear, post here, and we can explain/help.

    Edit: has the 'connection' event, I don't check against whether the file exists or not. Difficulty of this part, gives too little practice.

    Hello

    The problem is that there are a number of system of folder names that have been changed in later versions of Windows after XP.

    Examples:

    C:\ Documents and Settings is now C:\Users

    C:\Application Data is now C:\Users\your name\AppData\Roaming

    Parameters of C:\Local is now C:\Users\your name\AppData\Local

    C:\All users now is C:\ProgramData

    And there is a lot of changes in name/location.

    To make it even more confusing, each of these folders that have been changes of name/location includes a junction , which is the original XP folder name, at the original location of XP. These junctions are used to redirect software more old programs installed that are hard coded to look for the old XP to a folder name. These junctions are recognizable by a shortcut arrow on the folder.

    Let us know if you have any other questions.

  • How can I get my folder structure in Lightroom to replicate the structure of the folder on my hard drive?

    My problems is that after Aperture import, my Lightroom folder structure does not match the structure of my file on my hard drive.  In particular, instead of being structured as in my hard drive:


    2015 (folder)

    -> 2015 - 01 - 30 (subfolder)

    -> 2015 - 02 - 15 (subfolder)

    -> 2015 - 03 - 03 (subfolder)


    All picture files are listed separately as:

    2015 01-30

    2015-02-15

    2015-03-03


    In addition, a number of files have been created in the form 01a2a201aff9c8c684928629ea41221c0fa5930ab7 where no folder does exist on my hard drive in this form and the image contains the metadata on the right date.


    I have photos dating back to 2005 and a large number of photos on different days, that makes records discovers unmanageable.


    I finished the migration of the opening in two steps (that I have not enough space to reproduce images in motion through to Lightroom)


    1 move images original opening to be references to Managed (with the structure of the file above)

    2. then used the Lightroom plug in import library of the opening (which has been copied successfully through metadata and my folder structure + edits since Aperture)


    Does anyone know how to fix this?  In particular:

    (1) addition to the folder from 2015 to structure level?

    (2) removing all off the records 01a2a201aff9c8c684928629ea41221c0fa5930ab7?

  • Import of files .mts not nested in the camera original folder structure

    The short version:

    Is it possible to import .mts files already copied on a hard disk, without keeping the structure of folders of the camera, in first Pro CS5.5?

    The long version:

    I recently bought an iMac. Years, I edited video on Windows using Sony Vegas and Vegas Home Studio. My camera, the Panasonic Lumix TS2, sequences AVCHD video. Vegas has no problem import and edit files .mts AVCHD from a camera or a hard drive so it was not until I tried to edit a video in Premiere Pro, received the error message "type cuts not supported" and has done some research that I realized the folder structure is Christiane both at work with AVCHD. From what I can tell, the files must be in the PRIVATE sector > AVCHD > BDMV > STREAM > Configuration xxxxxxx.mts to import via the media browser.

    Here's my situation, I have hundreds of .mts files in separate folders, delivered with the photos of the same day or event. I'm on an iMac i7, using an enabled version of first Pro CS5.5 of the Master Collection. Is it possible that I can import and edit these files natively? And in the future, is there a way around to transfer the entire folder structure whenever I want to copy the video files on my hard drive? I use the bridge to import photos and it will just extract the video files of the card and plop them in the same folder. Having to transfer the videos separately, sounds like a ridiculous job around in our modern era. Thanks for any help you can provide.

    AVCHD. MTS files should import just fine without the folder structure. You lose some metadata, code time and covering, but beyond that, the files themselves should work properly.

    You have the presets of AVCHD footage? It is possible that you have lost the ability to import material; PR has a bad habit (especially on Mac) to obtain the format-amnesia when you update. Recently updated to 5.5.2?
