The library is basically all of my files in one?

I have questions about the photos app.

I have an external hard drive crowded with duplicate photo and video I want to get rid of.

1. is the library of photos, a copy of all my files?

2. can I delete the files 'original' and have their safety always in the photo library?

3 if I then start detective duplicate on my library and delete any duplicates, then export the original files to the backup hard drive?

1 - assuming a default managed library then what it is imported to the Photos is copied and the source can be removed

2. any file outside of a managed library can be deleted without any effect on the library, see #1

3. Yes, if you use a program double safety - the ones I know as sure is PowerPhotos, Duplicate Annihilator for Photos and PowerSweeper for Photos and Yes, you can export the originals and use them as you please - you need a better backup than if - Time Machine running with the default settings giving you hourly backups is a good start

    You have all your current updates?
    Go to windows updates and see if there are updates that you do not have installed.

    All my adobe files are corrupt. I saved them on my computer, my external hard drive and flash players. All report them at the same time as all my PSD files and I are corrupt.

    My computer recently had an error with the System 32 and will not open if I reformat, which means I lose everything on it. No problem, because I supported straight? It turns out that all my backups say they are corrupt. Do I just terrible luck, or is there a reason why none of my files works when I try to open them on another computer?

    Try the bugcheck on the ext hdd. Right click on the drive in 'my computer' > 'properties' > 'Tools' > click 'check now '.

    You can restart your pc and reconnect the ext hdd.

    Hello

    I tried many combinations of the different pc in order to transfer files from one pc to the other and only max speed I have is from 4 to 10 Mbps.

    I use the switch/cat6 cables only the router is capable of 100 Mbps.

    Also, I connect the pc directly with cable and still the same speed.

    Win7 will get more than that and how?

    I read the other posts on this topic, but all patches are not applicable to me.

    I used various cables and switches and PCs in order to eliminate the possibility of a defective unit.

    Can you please help?

  • Can I change the location of the library of Lightroom and default data files?

    Marc MandelbaumCommunity Member

    Hello

    I am running Lightroom 5 on a macbook pro 17 "equipped for one SSD 240 GB and a hard drive internal 1 TB extra.  I have lots of software installed, including a large part of the following relevant Adobe and when all is said and done, I don't have much room for manoeuvre.

    I just imported less than 20% of my photos, about 90 GB, in Lightroom, and the "Lightroom 5 catalog Previews.lrdata" file is about 1/10th of that to 9 GB.  That doesn't seem like much in the overall scheme of things, I know, but which leaves my hard disk space available to a mere 14 GB, which is not good at all.

    My question is this: I looked hard and can't seem to find a way of change my Lightroom catalog files default location?  I would like to change this over the other internal disk where I have a lot of space.  I understand that I am able to move the library once it is compiled, but simply, I don't have enough space to import my library on the main (240 GB SSD) drive to then move it.

    Thank you for your help.

    Marc

    Lightroom will create these files the first time, it opens. And he put them in the default location. Let Lightroom it's thing. Then, before doing all the work at all in Lightroom, close Lightroom and move the folder that contains all the files whenever you want. Double-click the catalog (.lrcat) to start Lightroom. The default preference for the catalog is to open one last used. So now, the catalog in this new location will be one that will open.

  • Compiler error of the library for QuickTest Pro automation Plugin files

    I'm trying the Flex Automation Package in the Flex 3 beta (because you do not have to have a license of data services to try it)

    I installed flex 3 beta and the package automation that accompanies it, but when I try to compile the library files, I get "an internal error has occurred. Please consult the error log"and"Unable to load SWC automation.swc.
    The log file has. MESSAGE Uncaught in the compiler exception"as well as all sorts of other info.
    I am trying to use the project > properties > Flex compiler method.

    A strange thing is that I can not reference the swc libraries locally. Flex Builder is installed here: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 3 and the SWCs are here: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 3\sdks\moxie\frameworks\libs, so I tried it - include-libraries "sdks\moxie\frameworks\libs\automation.swc" "sdks\moxie\frameworks\libs\automation_agent.swc" "sdks\moxie\frameworks\libs\qtp.swc" and I always get the error "can't open ' sdks\moxie\frameworks\libs\... '. ' CFC ' "if I put the whole path, the error continues, but I see (listed at the beginning of my post) internal error messages.

    for what it's worth: I tested with http://examples.adobe.com/flex2/inproduct/lcds/flexstore/flexstore.html, QTP and QTP is grateful for the elements in the flex... So I'm sure that the side test is set up right, I can not just to compile libraries in my own projects to test.

    If anyone has had this problem?... or someone can see where I am screwing things up?

    Well... in case that everyone scrolls on this problem, I finally understand how to make it work.

    I was adding only libraries in the section 'Compiler' project > properties. I found that libraries should also be added in the "Library Path" (go to project > properties > Flex Build Path > library path)

    I can now test my projects with QTP.

    However, I do not understand why I can't relatively reference libraries in the compiler section. I always have to enter the full path to the library.

  • How can I get all my music files into one big file. Windows xp32 IE8 sp3

    I have over 8000 files music and video, and they are scattered all over my computer. I use RealPlayer (free) to download and convert YouTube and then I transfer on WMP11 so I can upload them in my Walkman. I have IE8 Windows xp32 SP3. I'm also an old man who knows little about computers, so I'm always screwing mine trying to decipher what are the instructions. Please... If you can help, give me instructions step by step. You can reply here or to my email... * address email is removed from the privacy *.

    Thank you.

    Hi grampsny!

    I assume you want all your music stored in one place? The default value for this should be 'my music' (which is located in the folder 'My Documents').

    1 if your music is broadcast all over the place so I guess the best way to find all these files is to click on Start then on Search

    2. now click on "all files and folders" in the left pane.

    3. in the box under "all or part of the file name" type *.mp3 and press the Search button.  If you acknowledge that all files that appear as your music files, then press and hold CTRL of your keyboard and then left click on each desired music file.

    4. now, with all of the selected files, click change and then click copy.

    5 open the 'my music' folder, and then click Edit and Paste.

    Now repeat steps 1-5 but instead of search search *.mp3, *.wma , (which is the default for Windows Media Player 11 music file).

    I hope this helps, if so please mark as good answer :)

  • Export the library of books as a .csv file?

    I'm trying to compare my Calibre library with my library of books in iTunes 11.4. Caliber exports data .csv file, but I don't see how the same (or even a file of Excel data or numbers) to the ca. 950 books in my library of books to iTunes. I managed to 'print' a PDF (28 pages) of it, however.

    Is it possible to get a data file of the compatible spreadsheet of my books on iTunes?

    I never did anything with iBooks, but with iTunes you can actually highlight a series of lines, copy, and paste.

  • Error in the runing a page after moving jdev file from one directory to another

    Hi all

    I just moved the home folder from one computer to another jdev

    the old road was like that

    C:/jdevhome/jdev/jdev.


    the news is:


    D:/trainees/ABOUTABITAfaf / jdev/jdevhome/jdev /

    I set up the computer in the new environment: I created with the new path environment variable and reconfigured the run setting by giving the new path to the dbc file

    I tried the link and it works

    When I want to start a page, I have this error

    Error: The specified path was not found

    Process has finished with exit code 1.

    I don't know what is causing the problem. It is clear that somewhere, there is always a relative path to change, but I don't know what to change

    Can someone help me please?

    Open the .jpr file in a text editor and find your old path and replace.

    Update the values for: JDEV_INSTALL_URL & PROJECT_URL.

    Another option is to create a dummy project in the new Jdeveloper and copy your folder (the one inside the the myProjects) and replace.

  • All my desktop files and library are missing in Windows 7

    Need help, I have a windows 7 Ultimate OS on an old Dell XPS of 3 years. Operating system implemented at level of Windows Vista home for more than a year. Last week, when I connected, I noticed that all my desktop files were missing. Library of the missing files (including photos, videos, music & docs). Whats funny is that none of the files are missing. However, all possible files in each folder are missing. There is no way that I could have them was deleted by mistake, can not think of a keyboard shortcut to clear all the files, but leave the files. I run avast antivirus, set to day & works perfectly well. No application installs & the only windows update I see around this event was for MS silverlight.

    I backed up all possible files using a recovery agent & the thought of doing a clean reinstall of the operating system. PS - My research on the net has returned no results for this problem. Looking for all entries before going to come & clean clean my system. THX in advance
     
    * original title - need help with Windows 7, all the missing files *.

    Here are the steps I recommend:

    1. Open the computer and open your folder C:\Users.
    2. Right-click on the folder of your user name and select Properties.  Unset as hidden, and then click OK.

      You will be asked what you want to apply the changes.  Choose JUST THE FOLDER.  Although it seems appropriate, are not select subfolders, because some things down there, including the appdata folders and as such, must be hidden.

    3. Then go inside your userfolder and select all your folders accessible by the typical user (downloads, Documents, photos, video, etc.) and disabled the option down on those.  This time, pouvez you use the option 'apply to all subfolders and files '.
    That will get you squared away back.

    I love the develop module, but I'm doing something wrong in the library

    In the library, under 'Catalogue, all the photographs', all my photos appear showing the stars, cropping, and development. The problem is that these changes are not for the photos on my hard drive. When I re-import them in Lr, the changes are not there. My workflow is to do nothing after development or export them to the original with a new file name destination. Anyway, it is that they get a new file name without change of development when they are imported into Lr.  Please help (PC user)

    And others have explained, Lightroom does not apply the changes to the file. All changes are stored in the catalog, and then applied to the image when it is displayed in Lightroom. If you want a copy of the image with any changes so that you can share with others or send it to a laboratory to print, then you must export a copy of this image by using the export dialog box in Lightroom.

    Features of Lightroom as well by its design. The images that you import are always left in their original condition, unmodified.
