The passage of the structure of folders in Lightroom (EXIF/IPTC)?

Hello

I have + 25 k images organized in a folder structure today. This structure has served me well for several years, but I realize that he there limits.
Lightroom trial made me decide to go to a new approach, but some "nightmares" of how to include pictures of my old folder structure (25 images k...)

I know that I can keep my intact files in Lightroom, and I did. But I also want to have some sort of description on EXIF/IPTC. Today, this description is in the name of the folder and there only.

How can I automatically include the name of the current folder images in the file image IPTC caption or any other EXIF/IPTC field? I want to do this for images and folders in a single batch and not select each folder manually.

The old images will be more in line with images I import in the future, and they will be at least universal based on the former name of searchable folder.

Is there a software that is ready to go for this?

What is a task for Automator?

I have access to both PC and MAC for this type of batch operation.

My "Fatima" will not hollow. It has been resolved with the search plugin / replacement.

  • The Structure of folders LR3.2 and counties of Photo

    LR3.2 counties of folder Structure and photo.

    Until yesterday, everything was well with the structure of folders and photo account.

    The number of photos disappeared from the top level of the directory/folder structure.

    By clicking on the folder top-level doesn't give the message 'no photos in the selected folder' - there should be around 2700 photos

    All but one sub folders displays the total exact pictures for their own subfolders.

    A subfolder shows a number of zero photos yet records show the correct number and content.

    I tried to re-sync, I tried to optimize.

    I would appreciate any suggestion as to the cause and any possible workaround before that I use a restore of backup.

  • I do not understand the structure of files in lightroom

    I use ligtroom for a little while now, and I never really took the time to try to understand the structure of files in lightroom. Looking at it now, I'm totally confused.

    I'm on vacation and take tons of pictures and their import to my laptop (and an external hard drive).

    Since my trip is coming to an end, I'm wondering how to transfer all these catalogs to my office when I get home. Without messing up all the files that are already there.

    So I start looking at my Lightroom folders in my documents, and I like lightroom 6 6 develop records, 2 6 lightroom develop files previews.irdata, which I am unable to open and have no idea what is in them.

    And I have a folder on my desktop called new lightroom 6, which has a file called lightroom 6 in which has all my latest pix.

    How to consolidate this mess when I know not what is half of the files because I can't open most of them?

    Small question is - how to get catalogs and collections of my computer laptop lightroom app to my desktop lightroom app?

    Thank you

    Lightroom does not really use a file structure, it's a database.

    The photos must be in a folder somewhere in your operating system, and when you import a photo into Lightroom, the location of the actual folder and file name is entered in the Lightroom database, so now Lightroom knows where your photo.

    Now, I don't know it that all of these folders on your computer that you describe. You'll have to sort this possibility, somehow, perhaps by opening each folder Lightroom (not in your operating system) to see the benefits. Now, when you look in your operating system, you must find all the folders that contain pictures of Lightroom (you just find these files in the previous sentence), as well as the folder that contains your catalog and presets and preferences file. The default locations for these things and instructions to move your installation of Lightroom to another computer, are here: How can I move a computer to a new Lightroom?

    Hi mortenf,.

    You chose to copy at the time of importation because of which the images got copied to a different location and were arranged in date format.

    You must remove Lightroom and re-importation of the main files and click on 'Add' during the import.

  • Maintaining the structure of folders in the content server

    Hello
    There are times when we have a .swf object and associated xml files in a particular folder structure and we need to keep that in the content server because it will be internal references.
    Is there anyway where we can store the folder structure in UCM paths and use as /images/test.swf instead of the url httprelativewebroot.

    Thank you
    John

    I think there are two ways that you could do this and basically what it is is what Jason says - if you make sure that they have type corresponding doc, group security and/or account, they will be in the same folder.

    An idea - you can use WebDav and setup a contribution with these predefined metadata folder. Then it would be just a drag and drop or copy / paste just like on a network drive. All files/folders that you copy to this folder of contribution should be labeled with the same info and have fallen into the same folder.

    Just a thought... hope that helps, and I'm not far away from the base.

  • Appropriate Binder and the Structure of folders in British Colombia

    This might be a question of outdated, but I think that if we respond, it will help all beginners in British Colombia. Not that I have a problem, but I just want to confirm again something in avoiding broken links in the future by surprise.

    I have explained this in basic terms so we are clear on what we're talking about. It is ultimately.

    Take a basic site structure:

    Root folder

    (All BC files - we'll worry about those who now)


    index.html

    Assets [Directory]

    images [Directory]

    img1.jpg

    img2.jpg

    style sheets [Directory]

    MyStylesheet.CSS

    Information [Directory]

    About.html

    Now, in the usual way, we learned "old school":

    1. "" If you have inserted in the About.html img1.jpg, it will be < img src = "... /Assets/images/img1.jpg.
    2. "If you have the image inserted into the index.html file, it will be < img src="Assets/images/img1.jpg ".
    3. In CSS, if you have a background image, you'll make, .class {background: url (... /Assets/images/img2.jpg) no-repeat;}

    NOTE THE "... /'before 'assets' to browse a new repertoire."

    ------------------------------

    Location:

    In Dreamweaver, these paths work fine obviously and so British Colombia, except that BC you can also link as follows:

    1. "< img src="/Assets/images/img1.jpg ".
    2. . Class non-repetition... {(background: url(/Assets/images/img2.jpg) ;}}

    NOW THAT THE '.' before the slashe isn't here. And for the index.html file, add the slash.

    It still works fine somehow.

    But the question is, are the two methods work with BC? or is it that we should know about?


    Hello

    The best practice is to always identify root folder (/) in your paths. If you use a path without / Assets/images/img2.jpg for example, the browser will be able to find this image if you are somedomain.com/index.html, but if you are somedomain.com/somefolder/index.html, the browser will look for Assets folder, inside the current folder instead of from the root.

    I hope that helps!

    We want that this connects to be configured on EM12c. such that a single platform all the different server log files can be seen together. (many different URL exists on the app and db)

    For the server database using the Oracle user; We have installed the oracle management agent. Now how configure us the server such as all the log files path in this physical folder will be visible in the console of EM12c itself.

    Thank you and best regards!

  • Reorganize the structure of folder with LR?

    Hello world

    I currently have all the photos on my local drive using this structure, MyPictures\YYYY-MM-JJ. I just got an extra envelope with two discs and I put disks in mirror for backup purposes. I would change the structure of file at YYYY\MM\DD (ex: 2009\12\19). Is it possible to import files in LR to their current path and copy them to the new path based on the date of shooting and have the catalogue LR pointing to the new path for these files?

    If you mean reimport the photos that are already in LR to get the folder structure you want... it's not a good idea, as re-imorting loses a lot of information, including historical edition, Member of the collection. In addition, you lose all your metadata (keywords, captions, etc.), unless you have first LR write these xmp data.

    If the photos have never been imported into LR, the import process can move files in the folders that you want, this option can be selected in the dialog box import LR.

    Let me tell you that my worry about minor changes in the structure of folders seems to miss the big point of the Lightroom library module, which gives you much more powerful tools for organizing your photos as folder name/structure. Just because you change your folder structure does not mean that it is a useful thing to do. With the help of keywords, captions and other metadata will give you something more flexible and powerful than anything you could make by using folders.

  • Move the files and folders in PSE8 structures

    I have a new computer with a lot more hard disk space.  So now I want to pass on 2 000 photos in the organizer of an external hard drive to my local drive.  Easier to work with my photos this way, and I have an automatic backup of my hard drive for storage off site of the internet.

    When I tried to use the file-> Move feature, the moved files but not the structure of underlying files.

    Yes, my photos are marked in the Organizer.  But I want to preserve the file structure, too.

    Is this possible?

    Jim, San Francisco

    Jim,

    You can move your files to the folder view structures in the Organizer. Just drag the folder parent in browser left to the destination parent folder.

    Let me know if it works for you.

  • Additions to iCloud Photos from PC photo, the structure of files lost during the synchronization process.

    Media stream issue, charging/sync from my PC, photos are not in any kind of folder structure, all the photos are uploaded to the album pictures in iCloud. I have a folder structure in my Uploads folder on my PC, I was expecting this folder structure to be mirrored in the field of the Albums of Photos in iCloud.

    Hello

    The problem is that there are a number of system of folder names that have been changed in later versions of Windows after XP.

    Examples:

    C:\ Documents and Settings is now C:\Users

    C:\Application Data is now C:\Users\your name\AppData\Roaming

    Parameters of C:\Local is now C:\Users\your name\AppData\Local

    C:\All users now is C:\ProgramData

    And there is a lot of changes in name/location.

    To make it even more confusing, each of these folders that have been changes of name/location includes a junction , which is the original XP folder name, at the original location of XP. These junctions are used to redirect software more old programs installed that are hard coded to look for the old XP to a folder name. These junctions are recognizable by a shortcut arrow on the folder.

    Let us know if you have any other questions.

  • Synchronization problems can be caused by the structure of local sites?

    I have sync issues (e.g. synchronization done, sync identifies even more recent files).  I read a lot on the dwsync files and the site configuration to maintain the synchronization of information.

    I followed the advice to remove the dwsync files, turn off maintain sync, restart, turn on keep synchronization.  New dwsync files are not created.

    I read a post from a certain number of years that mention the site structure (I guess they wanted to tell local structure).

    I get a warning, sometimes because a site is located in the root of another site, sync may not work properly. I guess that his reference to my local site structure.

    I think the problem is that the 2-8 Sites are folders within the Site 1.  I put the local structure in this way because that's how I structured it on the remote host, where I have an account that allows multiple hosting sites.

    1 site simply contains files not in Sites 2-8, which includes some areas test, documentation, newspapers, etc., as well as a site with a domain name.  My thought is to get 1 Site moved to a folder at the same level as the other sites.

    Does anyone know of a tutorial on setting up of the structures of remote and local directories for several sites in the same remote ftp?

    Just use separate site definitions and ensure that the root directory of the server with precision pointing to the folder of this site.

    If the root folder of your server is public_html.

    Root directory: public_html/site1 /.

    2 definition of the site:

    Root directory: public_html/site2 /.
