Time dealing with the shambles - the best way?

I just bought a new Mac and want to transfer my catalogs in Lightroom (note the plural) from my old Mac.  For various reasons, mainly the lack of planning, there are a lot of catalogs. In the course of transfer, I would like to consolidate them in a single catalog.  The total number of images in not much, maybe 2000, but most of them have been converted in LR (3.5).  There may be some overlap in the catalogs, but not very many.

What is the best way to import catalogues in a new (once the old catalogues and images are loaded on the new computer)?

Advice appreciated.

DN

I would say to make the consolidation of your catalogs into one on old Mac. in this way the new transfer will be easier.

Peacebuilding: use the feature of > file > import from catalog. You must select one of your catalogs as the future 'alone' and all other import there.

In LR help reading to the high slot

  • the best way to deal with the changed values maskMode?

    Hi people

    I just found out that the values listed for maskModes have changed between CC14 and CC15 who broke most of my scripts of masking.

    IE MaskMode.ADD in CC14 has the value 6413 but CC15 is 6813.

    What is the best way to deal with this? is there a simple solution or what I need to check the version of AE which is used and adjust from there?

    is there a direct way to access the name ie "MaskMode.ADD" instead of the value?

    Thanks... /JL

    To get the string maskMode by the current mask, you can loop through all the values possible maskmodes and stop when you click on:

    for (var k in MaskMode){
        if (myMask.maskMode === MaskMode[k]) break;
        };
    // at this stage k is the maskMode string (eg: "ADD")

  • What is the best way to deal with a 'Implicit coercion' in a table to a sprite?

    Hi all!

    With the continued support of this forum, I'm getting closer to have a programme of work. I can't wait to be able to help others like me once I've finished learning the ropes of AS3.

    I'll briefly explain what I want to achieve and then followed with my question.

    Background

    I created a random number of 12 x 9 grid that fills each cell with an image, based on the numeric value of each cell. I also have a random play button that makes random numbers in the grid. The problem I am running became my click event of button to erase the current images off the grid in order to allocate the new (for example by removing the objects display battery in order to place the new ones in the same places).

    Question

    My question is this: what is the best way to manage an implicit constraint from a table to a sprite? I pasted my complete code below so that you can see how the functions are supposed to work together. My sentence is apparently not being able to use a value from array with a sprite (sprite represents the real layout of the grid on the pile of display while the table starts as a number that is assigned an image that must be transmitted to the sprite).

    ============================================================================

    package
    {
    import flash.display.MovieClip;

    import flash.text.TextFormat;
    import flash.utils.getDefinitionByName;

    SerializableAttribute public class extends MovieClip Blanko
    {
    Contains 12 * 9 grid of cells.
    var grid: Sprite;

    var shuffleButton:Sprite;
    Is equal to 12 columns, 9 lines.
    var cols: int = 12;

    Equal number of grid cells (108).
    cells var: int = COL * rows;

    Contains 108 images of cell.
    var imageArray:Array = [];
    Contains 108 numerical values for the cells in the grid.

    Constructor calls the functions "generateGrid" and "makeShuffleButton".

    for (i = 0; i < cells; i ++)
    {

    / / This line is where the implicit constraint occurs. '_cell' is a leprechaun trying

    _cell.x = (I % cols) * cellW;
    _cell.y = (I / COL) * cellH;

    grid.addChild (_cell);
    }
    }

    Creates a "shuffle" button and adds a mouse click event.

    _label. AutoSize = 'center ';

    _label. Text = "SHUFFLE";
    _label.x = 4;
    _label.y = 2;
    shuffleButton = new Sprite();
    shuffleButton.graphics.beginFill (0 x 484848);
    shuffleButton.graphics.drawRoundRect (0, 0, _label.width + _label.x * 2, _label.height +)
    _label.y * 2, 10);
    shuffleButton.addChild (_label);
    shuffleButton.buttonMode = shuffleButton.useHandCursor = true;
    shuffleButton.mouseChildren = false;

    shuffleButton.y = grid.y + grid.height + 10;
    this.addChild (shuffleButton);
    shuffleButton.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, onShuffleButtonClick);
    }

    Erase the images of the cell, mix of their numbers and then assigned these new images.
    private function onShuffleButtonClick (): void
    {
    eraseCells();
    shuffleCells (cellNumbers);
    trace ("after shuffle:", cellNumbers);


    for (var i: int = 0; i < cells; i ++)
    {
    drawCells (cellNumbers [i]);
    }
    }

    Deletes any existing cells in the battery of the display image.
    private void eraseCells(): void

    return of demonstration;
    }
    }
    }

    ===========================================================================

    Any help with this is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    If you want to have an array of Sprites that you later clear that is fine. But this does not mean that your function should return to it.

    You need your function to return the sprite so that you can add it to the display list and everything what you need.

    So just have the function get Sprite, push it in the "toBeClearedInTheFutureArray" and then return a reference to the currently acquired sprite.

    A customer wants a page removed from their Web site; What is the best way to go about removing/deleting a page in British Colombia and keep all attributed to the laid-off page SEO ranking?

    Should I delete the page and then add URL redirect via the module to redirect BC a relevant page.

    or

  • INTERFACE design - what is the best way to allow the user to define a kind of infusion at various times (non-periodic)?

    I want to allow the user to specify a curve like this:

    Such as some under - VI shows the A2 value when a variable of time is between R1, A1 when the time variable is between A2 and A3 when time is in the range A3.

    My design looks like this:

    With the error checking that looks like this:

    My question is, is the approach of the table according to optimal? Otherwise, how could combat this?

    I think I can summarize the conversation on this point as a response to the original question (what is the best way...) -to start writing code, to think about what you want to accomplish and write it down (otherwise known as 'Write the first Documentation').  One of the points of a good User Interface is that it is not allow users to "stupid mistakes" - it leads the user "by hand", limiting the entries to the "legal values" and demanding that the entries be made logically.

    If you were going to have a list of Infusions to enter, it is therefore logical to decide or not to enter into time intervals (which are always > 0) or order the times (which, logically) are still growing.  You can (and should) decide that you (or you may have a control that allows the user decide, but maybe it's too flexible) and then apply your "rules".

    Let's say you've decided on "Intervals" (which seems to me to be more User Friendly).  After the user has entered the intervals (and you've provided a nice plot of perfusion vs. time), pouvez allow you the user to an interval of 'split', 'Delete' an interval, or "Edit the Infusion" interval, or you can decide to have a choice more simple "accept or start again" - If you have only a few intervals, the last would be the simplest (and therefore best) design choice.

    Spend more time thinking before coding usually pays Big dividends!

  • What is the best way to replace plan purchased from reseller with a similar plan purchased directly from Adobe?

    We have a creative cloud for plan teams purchased from a reseller. It is about to expire, and we consider substituting a plan purchased directly from Adobe.

    What will be the best way to do this?

    Should we start with purchase of new Adobes site map, before the expiry of the existing plan and then invite existing users to the new plan?

    Or is there a better way.

    If we do it in the wrong way users could lose access to Applications, which will be a major problem.

    Someone out there who have done this operation?

    Hello

    You will need to cancel the plan with the dealer first and then the Adobe purchase plan and assign licenses to users.

    You will need to contact support by calling/chat for this request.

  • What is the best way to work with Word documents in The InDesign CS4?

    I work in Microsoft Word 2007 and all my documents have.doc format.

    What is the best way to work with Word documents in InDesign CS4?

    David Blatner says to avoid copying and pasting text from Word instead of placing (Ctrl + D).

    How to paste RTF or text Document?

    I want to do a book layout in ID CS4 and its main feature is that there is the left page with the text and the right - with graphics.

    So, if I understand correctly place the text on each page I create for example 70 Word documents and place each element on 70 pages left?

    He loks like wasting time. I have supplements another way to make such provision?  What kind?

    It is best to place any text.

    You can have all your text in a single file and debit allows you to add text, images and pages as necessary block (hold down the SHIFT key when you click the loaded text cursor), but it is somewhat atypical for the thread on one side of the spread in the perspective of automatic flow, so you don't have to set up properly.

    It is a case where a block of text that you type will work to your advantage. On your master page, add a text block to the left page, but not to the right (or at least not donned one to the right - for another project you can actually two threads of independent text). Hold the cursor of the load on a frame on the left side of a page document and auto-flux. ID will add new spreads as needed, but only to put the text on the left side.

  • What is the best way to collaborate on a project in logic at the same time?

    My brother and I collaborate on music, even though we live in different States.  We try to understand the best way to work on a project at the same time... not to live (although that would be awesome) rather by the project back repeatedly for multitracking.  Is there an effective way to send only the new audio files and a logical update file back instead of the entire project (which happens to be several gigs in size)?  It seems that there must be other people working together like this.  This seems particularly important when you mix when we are not adding a lot of new files, but making subtle adjustments to the mixture and arrangement.  All the tips are greatly appreciated.  Thank you!

  • Apple Extreme, Time Capsule and Express on the same system, what is the best way to set it up so that all devices smoothly from one end of the House to another?

    Apple Extreme, Time Capsule and Express on the same system, what is the best way to set it up so that all devices smoothly from one end of the House to another?

    I'm going to assume that you plan to have wireless devices.

    Let's say that the Capsule is your "main" router  If this is the case, then it must be located in the House, so that the distance between the time Capsule is the same for the outside walls of the House.

    Then, on the 'left' side of the House, looking for an airport to midway between the Capsule and time of the outer wall of the House. Do the same thing the 'right' side of the House.

    In other words, each of the two airports that "extend" the wireless signal are located at equal distance from the Capsule of time... but they are in opposite ends of the House.

    If you intend to interconnect all the airports and Time Capsule using a permanent, Ethernet wired... which by far is the 'best' way to put in place a network in terms of performance and reliability... then you can locate one of the devices anywhere you want.

    What is the best way to preserve my iPhoto library had fusion - UN-intentionally - pictures of girls with mine as its iMac had stopped working. Some how I have about 48 000 pictures now where before I was about 11 000

    The iMac's hard drive has been deleted in tact and two weeks ago, she bought a new iMac 27' which has only the "Photos" application, but in trying to restore his iPhoto library, it gets about 24% then stops with a po - up window saying "cannot continue due to inconsistancies", that these are we don't know.

    I think using his old h/drive connected via usb to my iMac, I managed to save his library.

    On an external drive, I would like to make my backups that are up to date for a few days so that my photos need to be secured.

    1. Can I remove my iPhoto library and then re - import of my external hard drive?

    2. Can I give my daughter a copy of the "iPhoto app" and install on its new iMac and then re - import photos into iPhoto?

    More popular tips.

    Alan

    I copy the library from the back to the top first before deleting anything, in case something goes wrong. You can choose which library to open hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch of iPhoto. In the menu that appears, select "Choose Library"

    No. but you can give him the iphoto library and she can open it with Photos.

    Put the register shift outside the structure of matter which changes state.

    In each case, pass directly through without changing it.

    The only case that could change the value is 25.
