Suggestions for the Organization

I just bought LR 2.0 and trying to find a way to better define the organizational structure now so I don't have to redo or re - fix things later.  I can't really understand the difference or the advantages/disadvantages of the collections from the records.  I have 5 years worth of photos organized under the title of my normal folder structure in Windows Explorer as My Pictures\Year\Event\picture name.jpg.  The majority of my photos (~ 90%) is taken in diving (~ 2000 photos by dive location ~ 2 sites of diving a year), which I then use the following folder structure: My Pictures\Year\Dive Location\Name of diving site\picture name.jpg.  Initially, I had to put in place a new catalog for each dive location; However, I would like to be able to perform keyword searches on all my photos of diving at the same time.  From what I understand so far, you can run a keyword search in a catalog at a time, which, after 20 + dive sites, may end up being boring for me.  Is that a good conclusion, or can you run a search with the single keyword on multiple catalogs at the same time?  I also want to compare photos of diving from a place of diving with another place of diving.  I should rather create a catalog for all my photos of diving and then establish several records in this catalogue?  How many levels of records can I create in a catalog?  I could create a catalog of diving with the following folder structure: Year\Dive Location\Name diving spot?  Is it possible that the collections feature could help me as well or instead?  I know that some of these answers can be personal preference, but given what I would do with my photos and how much I might have someone can provide recommendations?

I suggest that you use a single catalog with your current folder structure.  When you import, let the photos in place.  Once all the files have been imported, you can then add keywords by selecting individual files.  Lightroom will allow you to move photos between folders, if you want more later to reorganize, but it seems that if you are already set in this area.  Start by letting the Lightroom to use your current structure.  Don't worry collections at the beginning - just get the records first, then keywords, and any form of ratings/classifications you can use.  Later, you can implement the collections, but don't forget that the collections are only virtual, and they can come and go.  When you move a folder, it happens on your hard drive.  The best thing about Lightroom is that you can try this approach, which will give you the overall research capacity.  If you don't like it later, just export records various catalogues and move on to plan B.

    (Photoshop elements is installed on both computers).

    This is a typical and very common requirement.

    The solution is to store your media library as well as your catalog on an external drive.

    You can connect the external drive on both computers alternately. The performance is very good.

    One way to make the transfer is to use the backup / restore process:

    https://helpx.Adobe.com/Photoshop-elements/KB/backup-restore-move-catalog-Photoshop.html

    This is the same process to an external drive or another computer.

    Edit:

    Make sure that the external drive is recognized by the same drive letter.

  • HP Pavilion G60-458DX - Suggestions for the wireless card must be upgraded to 802.11n

    Nice day! I hope that all have a nice time. I have a HP Pavilion G60-458DX running Vista. I want to upgrade the wireless card/adapter to support 802.11n.  I would appreciate suggestions compatible.

    Thank you and enjoy all!

    John B.

    Hi, John:

    Here is the link to the service manual for your laptop.

    http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c02985882.PDF

    Looks like the only available wireless N card's network without WIRE Atheros AR9280 802.11a/g/n map.

    Please see Chapter 3, page 3-7.

    Make sure you get this model with the applicable B21 HP for the country you live.

    For example: If you live in the United States you need part # 482260-001.

    The part is available new from HP for US customers for $63,54.

    My advice would be at the request of the part # on eBay and get a model used but tested this card for a lot cheaper.

    Here is a list of the card used for people living in the US.

    http://www.eBay.com/Sch/i.html?LH_BIN=1&_sacat=0&_FROM=R40&_nkw=482260-001&_sop=15

    No other N Wireless card will work but this one.

    And the card must have the part number HP on it or it won't work.

    You also have a great day!

  • How to request a new software added to the software suggested for the unknown file extension?

    Hello

    When a file is opened on Windows with an unknown extension, there is an option to 'search the Web '.

    This option opens the Microsoft Web site with a list of software that can help you work with this new file format.

    We have developed a very good video converter that can be associated to several file extensions in Windows.

  • Any suggestion for the option of compiling the Flex Mobile of the project in Flash builder (Blackberry platform)

    I use Flex mobile project type to create a stand-alone for targeting blackberry and android application both versions.

    Depending on the configuration of my test application works ok in blackberry tablet Simulator. As I am new to blackberry AIR application development if anyone can help me for the compilation of project I currently put for my application is good or not?

    When I checked the project-> properties-> Flex compiler, I found "Flex Hero" as compilation same SDK, so I'm trying to pass the value of the configuration option available, that it won't allow me to set the 'Blackberry Tablet OS SDK 0.9.1 for Adobe AIR"- any suggestions?

    The question above, see attached screenshot.

    Hey Dounibiligda,

    He was right to what you saw originally in your settings. the default SDK should be the flex SDK Hero. If you want to add libraries specific blackberry, you must manually import the qnx - screen.swc which will give you most of the libraries QNX which are skinned to resemble the appearance of the standard playbook.

    so to summarize, keep the default Flex Hero sdk and manually import the qnx - screen.swc to your project. Good luck!

  • Ask the suggestion for the installation of oracle 12 c standard edition

    Hi all

    I try to install 12 c standard edition on linux 6 for the first time...

    Could someone please suggest with the necessary steps to proceed.

    creation of user Linux, installation of the rpm, then installing the software...

    any suggestion expertise is much appreciated...

    Thanks in advance

    Kind regards

    Asking how to "get" oracle-RDBMS-server-12cR1-preinstall is not really logical. If you have a standard installation on the server to the latest version of Oracle Linux 6 update, all you have to do is:

    # yum install oracle-RDBMS-server-12cR1-preinstall

    RPM requires the configuration of standard yum string (oracle public yum) and the core Oracle UEK. Yet once again, the package does not contain software, but triggers the installation of the software based on the yum dependency checking.

  • Recommendations for the Organization of the disk image?

    I am moving in Aperture to LR and looking for general comments on the Organization of the image before you start the migration. Since the opening, I will export edited JPEG version final (with metadata), the image of origin (without metadata), which is usually a RAW or TIFF file. I want the original version, in the case where I want to re - edit in LR, while most of the images will never hit again. I intend to place the images in the folder structure as described below and use the import option 'Add' to keep the pictures in the files when importing to the RL. Records will be organized by "Year" with subfolders for files 'Final' and 'Original '. The hierarchy looks like this:

    Folder "Images".

    > file "1983".

    > File "final".

    > JPEG 1

    > JPEG 2

    > etc.

    > File "Original".

    > TIFF

    > TIFF 2

    > etc.

    > file '1984 '.

    > File "final".

    > JPEG 1

    > JPEG 2

    > etc.

    > File "Original".

    > TIFF 1

    > TIFF 2

    > etc.

    This body will allow me to easily find the original file in case I needed to re - edit an image (the original and final images have different file names). Will there be a major drawback in the use of this method of organization? For example, it seems that the images can be stacked if they reside in different folders.  I thought 'stack' the original and final versions, but discarded the idea for other reasons. However, I'm not sure if I will create other problems by using a folder like this system.

    Many of my images are scanned family photos dating back to 1880, kind of organization per year seems to be a good choice for me. I use keywords to group events in the year (1983, 1983 b, etc.). I'll create smart collections using keywords for the display, I don't need a folder structure based on events.

    Otherwise, I could use the import options 'Copy' or 'Move' and let the LR to organize files. I don't know how the default LR organization works (in "import session or date?). I suspect that it is not simply place them in a single folder.

    I appreciate all the thoughts about the proposed organization. I prefer to learn from mistakes of others rather than mine! It is quite possible that the good answer to my question is "it does not matter."

    Thanks David

    In my opinion, the only thing that works reliably is a simple year-> Date structure. Another thing is just a waste of time and doesn't complicate your life. It is the structure that Lightroom does by default when importing. It is simply:

    2015

    2015-01-01

    2015 01-02

    etc.

    This greatly simplifies organization because it is always consistent and allows you to easily backup or move folders to external hard drives if your a resident fills up too.

    It is unnecessary to have initial and final records. You only need the originals. Any edited image, you need is exported a lot faster since Lightroom when you need so you can make the size and format you need, when you need and it is much easier to find the desired image in Lightroom quickly to scroll through the folders in the Finder Explorer / in any case. The key is really well-organized metadata as dj says. If you the keyword you can find something quickly. Finding accurate and such dates is also trivial using the filter bar.

    That said, Lightroom doesn't really care how you organize your originals so do what best suits you.

    Use the API for the creation of HR organisation.

    Oracle provides APIs for creating organization as well regarding the creation of HR organisation.

    These 2 are different API. If you create using HR organization you will also see the columns of the table for the dimension information of the operating companies.

  • Best practices for the Organization of a Muse Web site creation

    You wonder how others manage assets and files used during a generation of Muse.

    I know that this can become uncontrollable if assets are coming from everywhere in the computer.

    «I guess as Muse "refers to" a current location (anywhere) and who in the end...» they are all "published in one place.

    I've seen a single project folder containing the .muse file, containing subfolders for the assets.  Is - this recommended?

    ... For later versions (updates etc.) a new renamed project folder.

    So similarly organized the way I work in first... unless the assets are spread around different readers (because they are more demanding on the system).

    That's exactly how I organize my sites of Muse. I only go a step away and hold the sites in my Creative Cloud Storage so that any computer, I need to change the site after I have always has the latest files from muse and the assets.

  • Suggested for the RAID level configuration

    Hallo,

    I have a server 4core, 16 GB of RAM and 4 SAS 140 GB discks whith fiber channel EMC SAN. What is RAID level suggested for reduncancy and performance?

    RAID 1 + (a single disc advanced to other uses)

    RAID 10 (is really necessary for an ESX configuration?)

    others

    RAID 5 (suggested for VMFS, but not for a simple configuration, ESX)

    RAID 6 (not suggested because that too slow)

    Thank you

    As for local storage (as opposed to the EMC SAN) I'd go with RAID 1 + 0 for optimal performance. If you have an EMC SAN you probably store most of your VMs on the San. Your local storage space will be for your ESX installation and perhaps a data store for testing. Thus, you do not want to go with a RAID that offered high performance and redundancy, even if she does a high-cost disk, because the size is not you primarily on local storage.

    As for your EMC (Clariion AX regardless), you will want to cut LUN based on the needs of performance of your virtual machines.

    LUN RAID 5 for your regular VMS

    LUN RAID 1 + 0 for SQL (Oracle or Microsoft SQL SERVER) or machines virtual Exchange

    Just my two cents on the views of storage vary, and the right answer for you depends on your environment.

  • Suggestion for the creation of a component

    I'm new to Flex and I need to create a component that displays a list of items for the selection. The problem is that each list item (line) will have three elements to this subject (text, icon). It must be without visible lines between items. When I select an element, the rank that should be highlighted.

    One way to do it... I can't think that any help or suggestion is highly appreciated.

    Perhaps the simplest way to do this is to use a DataGrid instead of a list (since you have more than one column) and assign the verticalGridLines style property to false. ShowHeaders set to false as well if you do not want the column headings. Now you have a list with your icons, without separators and the entire line will highlight as a single entity.

  • Suggestion for the authorization of the page

    Morning guys,

    I wanted to ask for a suggestion of implementation of a protection password to a single page. The application is not a system of authorisation for the time, but now, it is necessary to get the password protected application page...

    For example, when you click on a certain tab to access a page, it should be a textfield for password in order to access this page, where the user can enter the required password, which is stored somewhere in the database or elsewhere.
    If you have any ideas or suggestions how to implement something like this, please do let me know

    Thank you very much and greetings!
    Patrick

    You can do the following:
    create an application like this process:

    When loading (before header)
    Name:
    Type: Pl/Sql anonymous block

    Code:

    BEGIN
    wwv_flow. G_user: = ;
    END;

  • Recommendations/suggestions for the material?

    Hi all

    I'm a little confused with what LabVIEW Embedded will work with. I read http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/7066 , but that was not very useful because it tells me there are 260 aircraft but it lists only the 3 level 1 section (I guess that there are more than three). A research in the community gave no results. In the level 2 section, they are pointing to the keil device database, but it doesn't really help me either.

    I'm looking for a hardware platform like this http://www.gumstix.com/store/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=252 or this http://www.compulab.co.il/x270em/html/x270-em-datasheet.htm that will work with Embedded LV. I really don't want to design and build the hardware from scratch - I want to find something that will work for me for prototyping on shelf and it will also work for the small volumes of product.

    The problem is, how do I find something like that? Does anyone have the hardware recommendations? The cards Gumstix has an ARM A8 processor so I think he might be targeted by Embedded LV but I don't know. There is a post on this forum regarding the cards Gumstix but it refers to the microprocessor LV SDK and the replies to this post, it seems a very complicated if the process is impossible to implement the programming of LV on it. However, this post is old, and I understand that the SDK is no more.

    Any notice received with gratitude.

    Dr. Phil

    Hi Phil,

    As the Manu says, the best of the material of the plate for use with LabVIEW Embedded for ARM module are MCB2300, MCB2400, LM3S8962 Evaluation Committee.

    If I had to do your project, I probably used this material:

    Stellaris® Single Board Computer display Intelligent Module RDK

    LM3SXXXX family is easier to port of LabVIEW that family CAP because it uses pilot Stellaris.

    In addition, this material comes with examples that work on Keil µVision.

    However, you must create a new target and adds all the new features of LabVIEW. It can be difficult at the beginning.

    Best regards
