• LR previews.lrdata files

  I understand that the LRCAT is the main file for a catalog. In the LR4, the program generates a file preview.lrdata containing thousands of new files and take a lot of hard disk space and a lot of time when the readers of synchronization.

  If I delete all the files and preview files and reopen the catalog, LR begins immediately generating these files again.

  I have something checked (as previews full size) which is originally LR do all these files? I remember this in LR3. I looked around in the prefs and catalog for a checkbox.

  Maybe there something to the size of the preview, I chose? I had the Settingst catalog at 1440/Medium/throw 1:1 after a day.  I just put it to 1024/low/throw 1:1 after a day.

  My main catalog now has 170 000 files and the LRCAT file is approximately 2.63 concerts.

  I use Alwaysync to synchronize the disks on a PC running Windows 7. All records requires more time to analyze.

  Thanks in advance,

  M,

  Lightroom has always been so. The previews on Windows were (and still are) always embedded in a large folder tree.

  As the overview file can be re-created at will, you don't have to back it up. Is there a way to tell Alwaysync to ignore it when you synchronize your disks?

• Previews.lrdata in the file instead of the file (Win vs Mac)

  I find very useful the way OsX treats of my catalogs Previews.lrdata files, because I have easy and immediate access to their size and decide it is a good time to clean them or not.

  Why Windows (7) shows sub folders? In addition, it is not a way to quickly view several size of folders in Windows. You must manually check one by one by pressing Alt + Enter. It of very frustrating and slows down the process of cleaning.

  Thank you.

  I find very useful the way osx treats my catalog Previews.lrdata files, because I can have easy and immediate access to their size and decide it is a good time to clean them or not. Why Windows (7) display them as folders?

  Previews.lrdata is actually a folder on OS X and Windows, with the same structure on both platforms.

  But the OS X Finder has a concept called "package".  An application (for example LR) can declare a file extension (for example, ".lrdata") is treated specially as a package, and the Finder will by default show it as a file instead of a folder, hide the contents of the folder.  You can see the actual file of a package by double-clicking on it and view the contents of the package.

  Windows Explorer is not such a feature, but as others have already pointed out, you can get the other files for Windows browsers that provide total dimensions for the records.

• Previews.lrdata folder size

  I remember this discussion a few weeks ago, but I can't find it by searching.  Anyway, my problem, if it is indeed a problem, is that for my LR catalogs 4.1 RC previews.lrdata folder are a lot larger than the same pictures catalogued in LR 3.4.  It comes on several catalogues.  I deleted the folder previews.lrdata on the Catalog under both versions and regenerated previews, but differences remain. Any ideas as to why this is happening?

  Just to be clear on the process:

  If you had to upgrade LR4 your LR3 catalogues, everything that happens is LR4 "steals" extracts from the catalog in LR3 and renames the file found to match the name of the catalog LR4. So if you were to look at the contents of the folder catalog Lightroom immediately after the upgrade you will find the original catalog in LR3 but no associated file previews and catalog LR4 a previews file related... and because it's a simple hi-jack of the previews folder LR3 is of course the same size as the old folder to LR3.

  If you open the catalog in LR3 LR3, because no record of previews there is now a new parameter is created and (unless you ask then LR3 to rebuild previews of images again) LR3 will create standard previews that you import photos in the grid/film. In this scenario, obviously the newly created previews LR3 will be much smaller than the old previews folder that is now labeled LR4.

  I've seen a lot of posts since LR4 came out to complain about the perceived in comparison with LR3 LR4 folder size, and I think that in many cases there was a lack of knowledge about the process.

• Should I back up the package of Previews.lrdata?

  I use LR CC on a Mac.

  Is it necessary to save the packages "Lightroom Catalog Previews.lrdata" and "Lightroom Catalog Previews.lrdata Smart? I use a service of online backup, as well as a 'Time Machine' and 'CC Clone' backup. I would like to limit the costs of downloading data, as well as the disk space on my local backups.

  I guess that these files would be just rebuilt, if they disappeared?

  Thank you

  You are correct David. No need to back up. They can be generated at any time.

• Previews.lrdata catalog Lightroom mac <>- pc

  Extracts from the catalog are not the same structure on both computers.

  My home computer is a pc and my laptop is a mac.

  I want to keep the two synchronized using FreeFileSync and a USB key.

  The problem is the difference in the Lightroom Catalog Previews.lrdata folder on the pc and the file on the pc.

  I don't want to rebuild my previews whenever I go to the computers.

  Any reference or is it just how it will be?

  Hi seanruddy,

  You can keep the catalogue and folder previews.lrdata with pictures on an external drive and use them in both directions between the two computers.

• Delete "Lightroom 5 catalog Previews.lrdata Smart?

  My Lightroom folder has a 2.28 GB "Lightroom 5 catalog Previews.lrdata" file and a 10.01 GB file called "Lightroom 5 catalog Smart Previews.lrdata."

  "Lightroom 5 catalog Previews.lrdata" file was created on 09/02/13 and amended on 20-11-14.

  "5 Smart Previews.lrdata Lightroom Catalog" file was created on 09/03/13 and has never been amended since this date.

  The last time that I imported the photos 11/14/14. I did no changes what whether from 20/11/14.

  Given that the "5 Lightroom Catalog Previews.lrdata Smart" file has not changed since its inception, I wonder what, if any, it is in service. Delete would free up much of the space, so I want to do if I wouldn't lose something important.

  I use PL 5.7 for Mac, in the case where that matters.

  Thanks in advance for your answers.

  ... Previews.lrdata files (not files), are required by Lightroom and should not be deleted. I mean, they peuvent be removed if they cause problems (or they are associated with a catalog obsolete..) and they can or will be recreated, but management is to minimize the storage:

  remove the 1:1 previews, and/or

  remove smart insights

  (using the Lr menu functions)

  In addition, if you reduce the size and/or quality of the standard previews (using Lr preferences), then it will be not so great...

  That said, some of us just delete these records as a quick dirty way to 'start over' preview-wise...

• Cannot reduce the size of previews.lrdata

  Hi all

  My Previews.lrdata folder is 45 GB. On a 500 GB SSD (end 2013 15 "MacBook Pro retina), it is a reasonable piece.

  So I went through and used the menu option "ignore surveys 1:1..." in all the pictures that I do not expect to change again. Somewhat to my surprise, the Previews.lrdata folder did not file size of 1 byte. I used the option "optimize catalog", but that doesn't seem to do anything either.

  I prefer not to empty the cache of the preview while suppressing the Previews.lrdata, regarding the last pictures I've not edited and yet I enjoyed having to previews pre-rendered 1:1.

  I don't expect too much here? Should not be a relationship between throw me 1:1 previews and a reduction in the size of the Previews.lrdata folder?

  Thank you

  So if I reduce the size of the standard preview for the screen resolution below, then Lightroom uses only brief (down-scales) 1:1...

  That is right.

  ntompson wrote:

  What are the downsides to this?

  No - your standard previews have been set too high before.

  ntompson wrote:

  Why have a standard preview at all?

  For reasons of performance - faster to enter/resize some smaller if he wants to.

  ntompson wrote:

  Would I better off put the standard preview to the smallest possible size?

  Lol if you do this, then Lr re - will make a brief 1:1 for fit view, even if a standard preview was already available (because it would be too small). Certainly, if the 1:1 Preview is already available, it wouldn't need the re - make, but if you are when they expire, it may not be available, and despite this, it takes more time to load/resize a larger and a smaller preview.

  ntompson wrote:

  When I do the standard preview size change in Lightroom, then does invalidate all standard previews in my catalog? Does crank through and to regenerate all the standard previews to the new size?

  No and no (but in my opinion, the user should be prompted to see if he/she would like to rebuild so size or quality changes).

  In many cases, the difference over having a frame is too small or too large a framework, will be almost (or totally) without consequence. To be honest, I'm surprised that adobe exposed this option to the user, since most users have any idea what optimum setting should be. If I were Adobe, I suppose that Lr/hand-UI would be on the bigger screen and automatically size previews accordingly. Often when I mention this, people point out that the same catalog can also be used on a laptop, review how would be more optimal, and there are other considerations double monitor.., but hey - whatever...

  PS - Lightroom creates different preview (up to) 7 sizes: from 1:1 to little thumb. When he creates a large preview (1:1 or standard), he created all the smaller previews also, in halfening size. It is very fast, and no doubt explains the reason why it will not throw a 1:1 if next (standard) would be more than half it's size (it's actually only create 6 previews in this case: 1:1 through thumb, there is no big standard preview size you specified in this case) (, or if you prefer another way of seeing things: the preview of 1:1 is your largest standard preview).

  If you want to better understand what is stored for previews, you can play with the PreviewExporter plugin I wrote (free) - it allows you to specify at what level (1-7) to preview you want to export, and if you enable verbose logging will provide info on what was available, and what level of preview has been exported. Here is an excerpt of "post-process action" (export filter) UI:

  

  See you soon,.

• Lightroom 2 catalog previews.lrdata?

  I run into the problems of space on my C drive (hard to imagine, but I my computer has been configured before LR and iTunes).  I have moved the music from iTunes to another player, but still need to free up space.  LR use / 3GB in the following location:

  C:\Documents and Settings\ < user > \My Documents\My Pictures\Lightroom\Lightroom 2 catalog Previews.lrdata

  There are less records 0 to 9 and A to F (more a file called miniature - cache.db).  These have in turn their own subfolders.  I can't remove it the entire structure of C:\Documents and Settings\DandJ\My Documents\My Pictures\Lightroom\Lightroom 2 catalog Previews.lrdata?  What I have to change the preference to have this things overview go to another drive in the future?  My 'Camera Raw Cache Settings' points to another drive, but this doesn't seem to be the same.

  I have 3 GB + free for other things (such as defragmentation without having to move stuff back)!

  Thank you.

  You can move the "[nomcatalogue] .lrcat" (like LRCAT) file as well as the "[catlogname] Previews.lrdata" (like LRDATA) folder with Windows Explorer to a new location and that's it. Then, you can double-click on the file ".lrcat [nomcatalogue]" and LR should open with her.

• Why is my file of lrdata of LR3 30 times larger than my LR2 version?

  While trying to find ways to speed up performance in LR3.3 I noticed that my preview LR3.3 file catalog (lrdata) is 15 GB.  I looked at my LR2.7 catalog Preview file and it is 500 MB.  Anyone has an idea as to why my recently updated catalog has a lrdata of 15 GB file?  Could this adds to the downturn I knew?

  Also, I threw all 1:1 previews it draws the menu drop down and the lrdata is always 15 GB.

  The .lrcat file is actually houses two databases SQLite associated with previews. You can try these compact by hand, if you wish.

  Probably what happened is that Lr 3's not as aggressive on the compaction of the unused space. They probably saw a good amount of unnecessary churn when you do it, and it can be a significant performance decrease. Allocate more space is expensive. So, when you know that you're probably going to use the space again, a good technique is to recycle the space you have already allocated.

  It is a probably a space typical vs time performance tweak.

  There is probably some great threshold that must be reached before the space is available and the compact DB.

• Highlight one several files at the same time

  I would like to highlight several files to delete at the same time. Through Windows highlight you or click on the first file with the mouse and click on the last file and everything in-between becomes highlighted for deletion. Is there a way to do the same thing with my Mac without clicking on each file individually?

  OS X does not have an iota of code Microsoft Windows. Do not expect that it works in the same way.

  1. You have the choice on OS X. You can click and drag the file icons that you want to remove, then right-click on one of them and select move to trash.
  2. You can select the first icon in the file and then pressing the SHIFT key or order, select the following icons. Then click on any place in the trash.
  3. Step 2, but using the arrow keys for the selection of additional directional file icon.
  4. Combine [1, 2, 3] to add or subtract icons from file.

• Insert quickly slides of several files

  I have been using PowerPoint for many years, but now I want to change my speech.  On PowerPoint, there is a feature where I can "insert slides from file".  I have often used this function to insert the files (database of song lyrics) quickly to form a unique presentation with special songs, I need on a given day.

  I would like to know if there is a similar feature on Keynote, or if there is another way I can insert quickly from the files of a database to compile a unique presentation.

  It would be much too tedious open individual database files, select all of the slides, drag them into the new format, and then close each file database.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you!

  If there is another way I can insert quickly from the files of a database to compile a unique presentation.

  Only databases Keynote can access media import files are iTunes and PHOTOS.

  Insert quickly slides of several files

  Keynote can directly move the media to a folder if they are graphic compatible QuickTime video and audio.  Drag and drop pictures on the Panel of the browser, it is located on the left side of the slide canvas.
