Replace the existing files - error

I see this question came up a few times, but after reading the answers it seems that I still have a problem.  can someone clarify if I make a mistake my workflow please?

  1. Take images to the XXX folder and expand them
  2. Export these images in a new folder YYY.  Add to the catalogue not checked
  3. Syncronise YYY and bring new images.  Apply a develop preset to these images to import
  4. Export images of YYY with preset applied to JPEG to YYY for external use.  Select "replace without warning".
  5. Error comes up saying that it cannot be run because would replace exisitng photo

I understand others threads is that this eror should occur only if you try to replace an original, but it was designed for exactly my purpose when you're operation on the copies.  I'm just owndering how LR is supposed to know that the imported copy is not genuine.  What attribute would say that as the import by means of synchronization is the same process.  If I used the "add to ngociant' in step 2. This leaves LR know it's a copy?  If so I could add my preset manually?

I use LR 2.5 on Vista 32-bit

Thanks for any advice.

Mike

The bug which allowed the overwriting of files present in the catalogue has been resolved for a long time. LR has no idea of this "original" are, it just won't let you no more write files present in its catalogue and a good thing! Write the function is to write on exported images, I use it all the time and it works very well. So if I want a set of images for one purpose I export to a folder, if I need then in a different size or I just use the same folder and write the files previously exported. No need to import these files in LR as I have the "original" and can always make virtual copies if I need different versions in LR

    If you paste a file into a folder that already has a file with the SAME file name, you will be informed and asked to choose one of the following:
    1. do not copy
    2. copy and replace those already on file
    3. copy and keep both.

    Perhaps, you have chosen the 3rd weight?

  • Write that VI PNG file will not replace the existing file

    Hi all

    I use VI file PNG write to store the graph in a png file. I am able to save the file with a specific file name, which includes the date, model number, serial number etc.. Once the chart is saved as a png file, if I make changes in the graph (as autoscale, turn captions etc.) and try again to save the file with the same file name, write PNG leader VI does not save the changes I made on the chart. I'm looking at the timestamp on the windows Explorer, but it is not updated. I opened the VI itself (which is write protected) to see if it generates an error if I provided the same file name, but it does not generate an error.

    I don't know if I am missing anything.

    Can you people please help me find a way to replace the existing PNG file?

    I'm using LabVIEW 2013 on Win 7 machine.

    You are also looking at the image itself? Explorer Windows cannot update the timestamp in the display immediately, or you might be looking at creation time, which doesn't seem to change when you replace a file.

    I can say that I saw a similar question very recently (he was also PNG, even if it's not really relevant), and here it certainly crushes - http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/LAVA-snippet-overwrite-keeps-old-date-time-of-png-file/m-p/3257059#M...

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600 more: Saving scan to file, always asking to replace the existing file.

    When I scan a document using the software on my computer, it asks to save it.  When I say yes, it saves it in a new folder I did. But he still wants to replace the existing analysis.  I want that each new scan to be named Scan0001, Scan0002 etc.  I want to keep a copy of all the scans I'm emailing them, or simply keep a copy on my computer.

    I think I just found my own solution.  He has the ability to "see him save as dialog".  I think that it should be disabled.

  • Not enough Drive Space Error when only to replace the existing files in the copy

    Hi, I have same directories. It is on the D drive and the other is on the E drive. Both drives are 2 TB in size and rich. All files are 262 MB in size. I need to copy all the files from drive E on the D drive, since all files on drive E have video data and files on the D drive are not, although they are the same size files. When I try to copy and replace the files in drive E D, I get an error message indicating that I don't have enough disk space. It is sufficient as I am only to replace the files. No new additional file is copied. What can I do?

    If the files on the 'E' have video and those of 'd' only that they may not have the same size.

    Second, you must be almost 2 x the space to copy files as they are the copy in a folder "tmp".

    If the files are the same on D and E, why don't delete you those without video and move those with?

  • It is possible to omit the popup warns "do you want to replace the existing file?

    Well, the title says already

    I have an application where the user can save the results to a log file; These data are added

    (using OpenFile (file_name, VAL_WRITE_ONLY, VAL_APPEND, VAL_ASCII), so the opening of this file will not replace its content, but it adds up.) It would be appropriate to use the same file.

    Unfortunately, when the caller (FileSelectPopupEx) and selecting an existing file of the warning that appears the file already exists. It's OK. But the message keeps saying "want to replace you? In this case, this message is quite confusing for the user, because the program will not replace anything (which of course does not function FileSelectPopupEx).

    So I was wondering if it is possible to avoid or change this message popup?

    Thank you!

    What constant you spent buttonLabel parameter? The behavior of the function changes depending on the indicated button. In particular, (citing the help):

    Note   If VAL_SELECT_BUTTON or VAL_LOAD_BUTTON is passed to the parameter buttonLabel, FileSelectPopupEx service confirms that the selected file exists. If the file does not exist, the function prompts the user to select an existing file.

    Using the button "Save" should result in the confirmation message that you face now.

    I guess if you are using the simple OK button no prompt (to confirm: I'm not sure but I can't test it at the moment).

  • Replace the existing files.

    Hi Forum, using the code below, im copy links to the particular folder.

    The problem is when I copy links to file individual and if the folder already has the same links (file name).

    The file is copied to the _1 instead of replace directly.

    var = app.documents relationships [0] .links;

    MyServer = Folder("/Users/rajni/Desktop/TestLink");

    KY = myserver.path + "/" + myserver.name;

    for (var i = 0; i < theLinks.length; i ++)

    {

    Troubleshoot [i] (myserver) .copyLink;

    }

    I don't want to copy the links of the path of the link and replace in the specific folder (if the folder already has the same link).

    Forum! Any help on this.

    Hello

    Change the var statement:

    var mDoc = app.activeDocument,
    destFolder = Folder(mDoc.filePath).parent + "/LINKS DOC/",
    k, currLink, currFile, currName, destFile;
    
    if(!Folder(destFolder).exists)
         Folder(destFolder).create();
    
    for (k = 0 ; k < mDoc.links.length; k++) {
         currLink = mDoc.links[k];
         currFile = File(currLink.filePath);
         currName = currFile.name;

    The problem is, Chkdsk will not fix this, and I can't access the file. This opens up a world of problems when I need to fix this error, so I can upgrade to Windows 7. Help, please!

    I just ran the scan again. He said of the errors found, but could not be repaired.

    This problem actually has nothing to do with internet explorer. It's the cookies folder that is corrupt in the Windows folder in roaming. The error file is in conjunction with the programs, that I try to run (AIM, Skype, so forth). Trying to enter the folder it says it's corrupt. I don't know what is the root of the problems or how to solve this problem, but these measures have not helped so far. Regarding the repair, I will try that next.
