Set indicator pick/rejected in the catalog?

Hello

I am looking for a way to define the indicators/rejected the choice of photos.

I know:-LR does the metatags but in the catalog.

-This has already been discussed in this forum in 2011 without positive result.

Were there any changes for 2011? Maybe in LR 6?

Is there another way to "mark" photos temporarily without writing metadata?

Or is there a collection function: addPhoto() for smartcollection in LR 6 (LR 5 it is not allowed as far as I understand).

Thanks for your help.

Wolfgang

6 LR API include LrSelection, who works for the current flag, and change of the flag: Lightroom 6 SDK changes.  There is not documentation, but it seems that the functions operate on pictures that are currently selected.  So if you want to change the flags on other photos, you'd probably have to save the current selection, select the photo that you want to change, change the flag, then restore it the selection.

  • Removing photos rejected when the catalog is in offline mode will remove the file when the disk is reconnected?

    Hello

    Let's say that I am not connected to my lightroom files and just navigate using the catalog offline.

    Now imagine I reject and delete a photo, lightroom deletes the actual photo in the folder of the next time my photos liebrary is online? (or will it just remove Intelligent forecasting and thumbnail library and keeps the file source intact without my knowledge of its existence?)


    Thank you

    Thank you for your patience and to specify your query.

    As you say, you have created Smart Preview and unplugged the external hard drive.

    Now, if you apply the filter to the rejected images and try to delete the images, you will get the dialog box below.

    As you can see, it is said that it will remove the file only from the Lightroom Catalog.

    As it is impossible to find the source location, you will not be provided with an option to remove the images from the computer or external hard drive (in your case).

    The files will remain as it is on your external hard drive.

    If you want to remove the both original files, I you suggest to connect the hard drive and then choose Remove disk to remove the catalog, as well as an external hard drive.

    I hope this helps.

  • Definition of indicator in a collection does not apply to the catalog?

    Hello

    Question from newbie here: I have filed my images in a structure of (quite complicated!) collection and am browsing to set ratings and flags. It seems that whenever I put the flag "Rejected" for an image while browsing the collection, it is not applied to the image "in the catalogue". I'm not sure I'm properly explain, but my goal is to then use the function "Delete rejected images" to remove these images of the catalogue and the disc.

    It looks 'denied deleting images' are interpreted as 'delete the image of the collection", which actually makes sense. But I want my setting of rating/flag to be also applied to the image when you look at the catalog for that I able to, and then select the catalog and use the function "Delete rejected images" as stated above.

    In other words, it seems like sides/flags settings I apply everything by browsing the collection is not applied to the images when you look at the catalogue.

    Am I missing something here?

    Thank you for your help

    Flags is local (applies to only occasionally) while the stars and colors are global. I suggest that you look here for details and especially to see the related video.

  • How to set my preferences to open the most recent catalog?

    I am running LR 4.1 with cab 7.1 on a 64-bit Windows 7 OS.

    aboutLR.png

    I set my preferences to open most recent catalog.

    LR prefs.png

    I then open a different catalog and do stuff in the catalog, but when I run LR next time he keeps going back to a different catalog. How can I change the settings so it opens either the most recent catalogue or I am guest for what catalog I want to open (I tried both) and LR can always open the same catalog.

    OK, I get it. But I have no idea why this should be the case. If it really bugs you are trying to replace your preferences file.

    The preferences file may be 'funny' and is then responsible for all types of weird behavior of Lr. It is somewhat a shot in the water. See this link to know how to replace your file preference: http://lightroomers.com/replacing-the-lightroom-preference-file/745/

  • Status of the indicator in the catalog is not preserved when the photo is added to the collection

    Here's my workflow

    1 import photos

    2. click on «All the Photos»

    3. in library mode, examine each photo. For each, I press X to reject, for the flag, or to not do.

    4. always in "All Photos," I select groups of photos to create Collections, for example, 'Beach 2010-11 journey.' I understand not all photos of beach trip: those which are marked with a flag, those that are marked to reject, and those who are not marked not anyway.

    And here is my problem

    When I go to the newly created collection, no pictures are marked with white or black flag. All photos are present, but none have kept the status of the indicator. If I return to display 'All the Photos', the flags are still there, but they are not visible in the collection.

    I do not create virtual copies during collections.

    I use LR 3.2 on OS X 10.6.5.

    Any help is appreciated!

    This is the way Lightroom works... has always. Flag State is local to the folder or the collection in which it is defined. It shows that in this collection or folder. In fact, you might have the same photo in a collection and rejected in another and neither in the photo folder.

  • Lightroom crashes after closing and the Catalog backup. Requires "Force quit" on OSX El Capitan (10.11.1). (Both set to upgrade to this week.)

    Hello. I upgraded OSX earlier this week in the latest version of El Capitan. Not using Lightroom since then I think. This morning, LR wanted to update and I let him. Now, LR crashes when I close and let him make a backup of the catalog. I use oSX 'force quit' to close. Otherwise he not re-open.

    Can you please have a look at this issue?

  • The missing files can be imported and show as dupes.  Claims to have their ghost directory, but is not found in the catalog or HD

    I have 191 files in a known folder to HD.  The catalogue of the room light them says that all of the missing.  If I try to copy as DNG with him do not import checked suspicious files, all gray outside.

    However, if him don't import suspected fooled no box is unchecked, they will import .

    Except: they will not go to my destination, i.e. the same folder in which the resident on the disk hard, 2014_09_06, but a subdirectory of the folder of my choice, also called 2014_09_06, with a check mark next to it indicating 191 files. If I leave this box checked, I can import.  If I uncheck everything seems to be a fool, even if her import alleged fooled no box is unchecked.

    Nowhere in the catalog or the hard drive is this ghost subdirectory is located. Don't forget: When checked, he seems to have 191 files it contains, but I must be on file parent to see this. And even by showing that it has the right number of files he let me import, which can create real and fooled fool's dupes.  When disabled the file, it seems to have no file but my ability to import is blocked. None of these conditions relate to her don't import suspected dupes, who is not checked under both sets of circumstances.

    The final clues: the subfolder icon import has a plus sign on this subject, and I can't click on this folder on the import screen, only in the folder parent of the same name.  In the library of little, this subdirectory, I can click on the parent, I see 191 files, but they all have an exclamation point indicating that they are absent.

    See my other post about the missing files. Once they are, we can work on the importation of treatment to get your fixed catalog.

  • How to resize / stretch XIB controls in the catalog?

    OK, maybe this is a silly question, but I simply can't understand!.

    What setting should I put in XCbode Interface Builder (using XIB to the catalog, no Storyboard) to have a repeating control / resize with parent control.

    Setting the option left / right in the dock just option autoresize left or right, it is not stretch it.

    For example, in the simple Hello everyone, I want the box to stretch with the size of the window main and the label and button to stretch in width. This should be so simple.

    Welcome to the wonderful world of constraints.  Control-drag between two user interface elements will give you a list of constraints to choose from, allowing you to define the relationship between the objects.  See using Xcode or Apple Auto layout Guide for more information.

    Alternatively, you can disable the automatic layout (in the file Inspector tab) and use the old shock absorbers and springs.

  • Hardware configuration for the catalog, previews and the RAWs?

    Hi all.

    For the past 2 years I've been running a retina 27 "iMac with 512 GB SSD, because it is the essential motivation.

    My catalog, previews and RAWs have all been on a connected USB3 SSD 1 TB and backed up with time machine to 2 TB drive HARD USB3.

    Now all 3 of my discs are at capacity.

    Historically I've shot with a D800 the D810 so the raws were huge. Now, I'm moving to an X - T2.

    The easy answer is to move the SSD to 2 TB SSD and the TM drive to a 4 GB ext USB disk, which should buy me a few years.

    Maybe another option is to invest in a 4-Bay NAS, stick 4x4gb operates to and use the batch for the backup storage and image TM.

    What do you think guys? even if I'm running a processor i7 and 32 GB of RAM, sake still images second or 2 to appear in my current setup, I really don't want them to appear all slower. It was suggested that I could move all the images more than a year on the NAS and keep the catalog, the previews and the latest images on the 1 TB SSD.

    Curious to hear other ideas and configurations that work well.

    Thanks in adv.

    Craig

    Since you are using a fairly recent Mac she must have a thunderbolt port, otherwise 2 of them and you can also add a USB 3 hub to connect multiple disks to your current configuration. I don't see in adding disks more large and small age of retirement. Just add another 2 disks of the same capacity. You can also get rid of some of the old Time Machine backups to free up space on the drive that you configured for Time Machine.

    As far as I KNOW 99% of multiple NAS boxes drive (Bay) are thus set up a RAID array. Which would limit the overall storage capacity of this box.

    The LR catalog file must also be on a drive connected directly to the computer and not on a network drive.

    In your OS, the folder that contains your catalog must have read & write permission.

    If you think that you already have, we show a screenshot so that we can see in the Explorer Windows/Mac Finder folder that contains the catalog file; and show us an another screen shot of the permissions on this folder.

    Also, please check the catalog file in your operating system to ensure that it is not set read-only.

  • PS 13, location of the catalog of items

    I formerly used PS Elements 10, 12, now 13 and migrated my catalogues of 10--> 12-13.

    1. I NEVER copied photos of 'source' from one place to another
    2. Now I find my (sorry pictures) catalogued photos physically (i.e. no links - don't come from the UNIX world )

      2. In the destination directory configured catalog

    As mentioned I never copied the source images of the source after another location directory.

    I don't like it as a minimalist . But it must have appeared that I created a new catalog and photos from source to the destination catalog directory.

    It is now that he is -are there any introduction explaining the behavior of PS on the photo locations and locations of catalog and how to prevent this dubbing.

    Seems that the root of the problem is your own personal design of a catalog.

    1. I NEVER copied photos of 'source' from one place to another

    What are the images of the 'source '? Your image files are on your computer, where you downloaded or created.

    They are not in a 'catalog '. A catalogue of the Organizer (or a Lightroom one) is that it: a list of files (a database to be precise) that stores the location of the files (the path, the identification of the car) so that their properties and the tag, ratings or ratings affect you. When you receive the catalogue of a Museum of painting, you get a book to search according to different criteria: the room in which are shown the paintings, painters, the painting category, date, size and much more. There are several kinds of clues to find according to these criteria. There are small "thumbnails" to show the paintings. A catalogue of the Organizer is just that. Why wait to copy the files somewhere? You simply files image, not the "source files".

    1. Now I find my (sorry pictures) catalogued photos physically (i.e. no links - don't come from the UNIX world)

      1. In the original source directory
      2. In the destination directory configured catalog

    What do you mean by the "set destination directory" of the catalog?

    Catalogs are the folders containing the principal database (catalog.pse13db) and other components, including the thumbnail cache. Looking for the location of the catalog file in the Help menu > system information. You will see that there is no photo stored file, no "copies" or duplication.

    "Importer" is an ambiguous word in the Organizer.

    It refers to a process involving the downloader: download files (copy) of your card reader or camera, plus the indexing of these files in the database data. In this case, the copy is intended.

    Or it simply means indexing if you use the 'import' of files and folders. No copying is involved.

  • Could not import the catalog of items

    Good evening

    I just installed LR CC 2015.  I am trying to import my PS 12 elements catalog.  After the installation of LR, he asked if I wanted to import my catalog of items.

    I answer OK.

    It completes step 1 but very quickly the steps 2 and 3 flash by and the process fails with an error message "Cannot import catalog items due to an unknown error."

    I went to the elements and ran a repair of the catalog.  No problems were found, but I ran the repair anyway.  (I have only a catalog with photos about 7200 in it.)  Try the import again.  Same result.

    My computer is an iMac mid-2013 with 8 GB of RAM.  The OS is 10.11.4.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    The problem has been resolved.  I made changes to my catalog of PES 12, one that could have been useful.

    • deleted the catalog items that does not generate stamps for unknown reasons.  Those with a "broken" thumbnail  There were few of them.
    • Deleted the catalog items that were orphans - were found no associated file on the hard drive.  There were about 10 of them.
    • Deleted about 10 sound files from the catalog.  Not sure how they got there in the first place.
    • Updated the Visual index.  (less probably helped)
    • Ran optimize catalog
    • Ran repair (for the second time) catalog, even if the dialog box indicated that it was not necessary.
  • "Cannot use the catalog because it is not writable and cannot be opened.

    Lightroom 6.5 8.1 Windows

    I get this error message. However, the catalog is here. I also opened LR in administrator mode, but that doesn't help either.

    The old catalog in a new catalog import does not work either. I've worked since the last backup.

    You kindly give a retrieve from the catalog import tool?

    The permissions are set correctly, and as I said, I also started LR with administrator privileges. Same result.

    I ended up using sqlite, saved lrcat file in sql file and initialized in lrcat file. Everything works. I don't understand why Adobe does not offer a repair service to do the same. It cost me 30 minutes of searching on Google.
