When importing duplicate folder

• How to avoid to create images when importing duplicate?

  I doubt that it is the correct method or better to import/organize my photos, because it creates additional work I would like to avoid.  I'm looking for a solution.

  I do the following:

  • Copy all my photos from my SD card in my folders organized on my external hard drive.
  • Open Lightroom and import photosfrom my external hard drive.

  What happens is that Lightroom creates an image duplicated on my Mac in my pictures folder. At this point, he referred to this directory and not my external hard drive. What I end up doing deletes the pictures in my photos folder.  So I connect all my photos in Lightroom on my external drive.

  As you can imagine, it becomes tedious to do this every time I have import in Lightroom.

  My idea situation is Lightroom NOT to reproduce images or put them in any folder, but simply refer to those that I chose when importing to my external hard drive.

  Any help would be much appreciated.

  It's probably because you select the option COPY the top of import dialog when you should be by selecting the Add option.

  COPY the images of copies from one place to another and to import them.

  ADD add just the images in the LR catalog where they are currently.

  There is also the possibility of "make the second copy to:" on the side right of the dialog import but this option is only available with either COPY it, MOVE or COPY as DNG options. You need to add the option to add images in the catalog file LR in the place where they are already on your external drive.

• Cannot select folder when importing.

  I have problems when importing.

  I'm not able to select the destination folder from the drop-down list of the folder (down arrow), I have to go well as the selection upward link (arrow).

  In all the training videos, I watch - they have all the drop folder as I expect.

  
  What Miss me?

  

  Hi Chris,

  It seems to be a problem in your catalog. Just to test it please try to choose a different source location and also to pass to the method to import different (copy) to move and copy again to see if it works. Otherwise you should check with a new catalog to find out if the question is specifically in the catalog application it self.

  Thank you

• LR 4 and 4.1 can't create new folder manually when importing photos

  Windows 64, i7, 12 GB of RAM

  I don't seem able to create a new folder manually when importing photos.  It still works fine on the same PC with LR3.6.  Anyone else seeing this?  Thank you.

  

  Yes, I'm on Win7. I can get the result that you specify.  I right click on the folder name in LR and then choose "Create a new folder."  This shows the dialog box windows.  If I then right-click in the right pane and select new > folder, I get a new folder empty in the right pane and can type the name, then select this folder.  If, instead of click with the right button in the right pane, I try to type the name of the new folder in the bottom of the dialog box where it says "file:" then I get this error message. That's what I mean by saying that the process has changed slightly in the LR4.

• Overview of the need for "do not import duplicates".

  Smart of Lightroom, but I do not know how, why etc how this happens:

  I have the "do not import duplicates" option checked when I import new shooting sessions. My sessions are jpeg and RAW formats because that's the way I shoot (for both.) I see only one image for each shot in LR even though the RAW and jpeg are side by side in the same folder. I think that I see only the RAW image in LR. Someone here can give me a little more information on how Lightroom jpeg file name, don't even know if she has a different extension, and is also a different, but the same image file?

  Thank you

  Ken

  My thoughts were "glory, Halleluja, I never have to mess with files duplicate again" (which means Raw + Jpg). I don't know if there is a way to synchronize all changes and metadata for the combo of RAW + JPEG, but for me at least, it's way more simple just create JPEG files when if and as required. Then I know that I'm pulling of the most uptodat and best source file. YMMV!

• Error when importing complete file with many newspapers

  Hello

  I came across an error when you try to import an entire folder containing 118 newspapers (total size 63 MB), created by and imported to Signal Express 2012 (version 6.0.0).

  After about 80 of them have been imported without any problem, error, indicated in the attached file, see.

  The journal other files can be opened one by one after will have been delivered to market there is apparently no problem with files.

  My path to the folder that contains the log files are 81 characters long. I also tried a shortest path with only 9 characters, but it did not help.

  Looks like it's a bug in SE. Is there a solution?

  Concerning

  Jocke

  It turned out to be a bug in SigX2012. SigX opened the TDMS file handle but could not close during the import. So when a loading 118 connects at some point, SigX reached the memory limit.

  As for SigX2012, we have a solution for you. Newspapers, by half and each folder contains 59 newspapers. Launch SigX and import logs folder, and then save the recording project and exit SigX. SigX to restart and load the project you just save and import the other journal folder. Let me know if it works on your side.

  Once again, thank you for reporting the bug to us.

• How to select the photos I want to import in the import Windows 7 Wizard, and how to change their name to a group of the name custom when importing?

  Has features missing from Windows XP in Windows 7?

  I'm doing a simple import of photos using the option 'Import pictures and videos using Windows' native Autoplay.

  In Windows XP, I could choose what images to import and give them all the basic name custom during the import process, with each photo added later with a "001", "002" etc using the scanner and Camera Wizard.  It is very convenient because it could have been hundreds of photos on some of my cards from a long period of shots, I could run the tool more than once for different groups of photos that I would choose Import, and the pictures would be get named sequentially and stored in their files you want immediately.  I imported thousands of photos in this way.

  This new tool for Windows 7 allows me to add tags to all of the photos on the cards and devices and name photos after their date, or on the label, or other combinations of that... but why doesn't this new tool in Windows 7 suppose I want to import every single photo on the card device / I just connect and more that I want them all to have the same tag assigned to them?  It's stupid and useless - there, makes only has pictures of a theme on their card at any time that they connect to import their photos and always wants to import everything each time?

  To illustrate this point, let's look at my current situation.  I'm just on vacation in Europe and took pictures to more than one place, I visited, of course and now I would like to mark photos with the location of the names individually... or even more, I would like to actually name photos when importing with the name of the place in the picture.  Scanner and digital camera Assistant & would do that, no problem - you just had to run the tool once for each different group name, then select the appropriate images to import with the same group name.  It has been easy.  This type of naming is far superior to the addition of tags to images named simple-list or date-wise because you can tell what the image file in your library that you want to open just by going to (or get) the group name.  Want to see pictures of St. Peter's Basilica?  If you named the photos with that (added with 001, 002 etc), then simply browse to that name in your folder of photos «The Italy, holiday 2010»  Without trying to find photos Tags into the sea by the name of "IMG20100324005" - soup and no program Photo Gallery Windows Live Photos or necessary Picasa.

  This new program in Windows 7 for the import of images does not appear to be able to handle the very handy feature of its predecessor Windows XP.  It's very frustrating to have opted for the version of Windows newer and supposed to be 'better' but find several programs that have been very useful for XP have valuable features removed or are no longer present at all (like how Windows 7 is no longer a Clipboard Viewer - that has great idea that is?).

  So is it possible to recover the image import feature I apparently lost by 'redevelopment' of Windows Windows 7?  I could of course go and buy an image import and edition program (Smart Photo Import very nice for the price, a quick search I just do), but as this feature was native in Windows XP it is still stupid to have to buy a 3rd party simply program now because Microsoft does not understand the idea of keeping popular features in their software and seems rather "he dumb down.

  Any help to select the pictures I want to import and naming them when importing with a custom group name using the import wizard would be greatly appreciated... + 10 GB of photos and videos of this trip is sitting & waiting for a solution!

• LR decides to import duplicates

  LR importing from a memory card with some news and some pictures already imported. Normal operation: can't stand not duplicated. Lightroom stupid thing for pets of the day: I can't DO NOT import duplicates. I do nothing else. Hundreds of images imported as "Imgxxx_2". I haven't the time to uncheck these one at a time. Why something that suddenly stop work? LR is buggy as the typical application of 1995, or maybe something that I wrote. A shame for humanity.

  Yes, it's useful. The problem is that there are so many different circumstances that can be put into play, that pinning it down to an absolutely reproducible scenario proved very difficult, for me at least. I did a ton of tests and many times has triggered a problem but happens next time I run the test. For example, using my 5DIII of Canon which has dual card slots - SD and CF - I configure to duplicate each shot, if I try to import directly from the camera attached with two cards in the slot, in theory, half of the total images should be selectable and the other half not... but often a small batch of these two sets in the middle is selected for import , but not always. End of Jao subject using a separate card reader is a good, I didn't test that. I might give it a try when I have time.

• Not intentional develop Preset applied when importing - Lightroom CC (2015)

  This week (April 25, 2015), I upgraded to LRCC (2015) 8.1 for Windows and Mac OSX Yosemite and today I imported 400 + RAW images, felled at a concert of music from last night in my Windows box. I do not use import Presets, preferring to the hand-to indicate the my options at the time of importation.

  Today, I chose my usual Preset to develop... 'Profile goal, by default, that does what it says on the Tin - apply the default lens profile import. There nothing else... or so I thought.

  After that importation, I noticed that images looked a bit "weird" and I checked the story... the default lens profile has shown in history (except an entry "Of Metadata" that I had not seen before, but suppose a reference using the keywords applied when importing). The 'strangeness' was in fact caused by one another develop preset called "Cave in rock" (a custom preset, I designed myself) and, if by chance or not, was be the first Preset in my list. Checking the settings to develop on the right panels, confirmed all the 400 + images had been imported with the cave in the rock applied.

  I checked the history of a random selection of 12 images; all showed the parameters of development, such as applied, but none showed the name preset in the history panel. My custom "cave in rock" this DOES have the preset 'Goal profile, default' included in it, but maybe it's a coincidence.

  I import RAW of Canon CR2 to a 5 d Mk III files, convert to DNG and build 1:1 previews. Adobe has changed the import process in LRCC.

  
  

  I returned to import LR5.7 to try it, but it does the same thing now, which he has not really done it before! The Presets have been improved as part of the transition to the DRES?
  

  Everyone knows about this phenomenon?

  the metadata entry I think that means that he support parameters of a metadata xmp file that is next to your raw files. There are everything in the folder you are importing from? If you shot raw + JPEG, the instructions may be in the JPEG file.

  In any case it is easy to fix. Just select them in the library grid view and press reset. Reapply the correction of lens preset and sync.

  IT is possible that you inadvertently set a default value for the camera.  You can try to reset those preferences-> presets if reset the images don't come back to where it should.

• LR5: time offset when importing photos - why?

  Import my pictures from the camera with storage in folders by date. Now, I've discovered that photos taken before midnight are stored in the folder for the next day.

  After a review, I found that the time displayed when you move the pictures in the import dialog are always displayed with an offset of + 2:00 for the real time (such as described in the camera) when the photo was taken. So all photos taken after 22:00 are stored in the folder for the next day.

  My conclusion is that LR obviously takes the offset from the UTC time zone (in my case: THIS summer, which is UTC + 2) when importing photos. I remember having that first saw on travel in New Zealand last year when import photos on my PC that I had put to the local time zone on a trip, so this shift was 12 hours.

  When viewing the photos later in the module library or development, the time is displayed correctly, so obviously drawn "like what" EXIF/XMP.

  Is this a known issue? I could not find a place in the LR settings to control this behavior.

  It is a very old bug, which has never been set. The simple solution is to import from a card reader, not a camera directly connected. The insect bites only during the import of the camera.

  Image capture metadata must be perfectly OK, so no need to change anything here, it is only the name of the folder that is affected by the bug.

• How do you get custom default settings to enable lens profile corrections automatically when importing?

  I created default settings of serial number for my Canon Mark III 1ds include corrections of lens profile enabled.  Then, I created a user pre-configured with these corrections to default value.  Then I imported a folder of RAW images taken with the same camera Canon with the user checked under import profile.  When I switch to the module development and check the lens Corrections Panel, I see that even if it is verified for each file, the real model and profile are not met.

  Is this a bug or I forget something when you import?  I understand that in LR 4, you can apply specific profiles of lens and camera serial numbers camera calibration (too much noise reduction etc.).

  MacPro 2.8 Ghz Quad - Core Intel Xeon with 16 GB of ram running OS x 10.7.2.

  Thank you.  I chose to leave the ISO unchecked so that images you lens corrections automatically based on serial No.  I would be a nice feature, as well, to apply noise reduction to a specified user ISO target number, that is to say 1000 or more.

• Why do I get no longer previews generated when importing with LR 3.4.1?

  Problem: This week when importing a batch of 900 + photos all appear in the library as grey boxes (no previews).  I still see excerpts from all my photos already imported and the nine are normally visible, in which they are seen with other programs (e.g., Canon Zoombrowser, my images).

  Also, when I close LR3 and select the backup option I get the error "Lightroom has encountered an error when you try to read his preview cache and needs to stop smoking - Lightroom will attempt to solve this problem, the next time it starts.  After clicking OK to the LR3 pop-up error freezes and does not close, it runs only with Lightroom (not responding) on the top of the window.

  Environment: Windows Vista Home Premium, Lightroom 3.4.1 photos are digital DSLR 7 d and Canon 40 D raw CR2 format. The catalog is on a 2 TB external USB drive connected to my laptop Lenova Thinkpad.

  I have more 40 000 pictures in my catalog, more of the same photo, and I REALLY want to start over or having to regenerate the insights that a lot.

  I tried import using both copy and copy as DNG with the same result - not found in the library.

  Tried to import via a USB card reader and a USB memory card after moving them to the card memory to another laptop - same result.

  Tried to manually select some photos and standard previews new rendered, LR3 begins rendering by the status in the upper left box, but no progress toward generating a preview in the library mode.  He's right there.

  I can see the pictures in mode develop when I chose one to view AND, it seems, to stay there when I move back to the library.

  But, when I try to close LR3 (with the above error / crash) and restart it, the previews generated in mode develop disappeared.

  Is there a relatively simple solution to this?  I had not run into this all using previous levels of LR3.

  Thanks a bunch!

  Jim

  Jim,

  It seems that your preview cache has become corrupted. He has a record that lives in the same folder as your catalog named .lrdat. Try to rename it to something else and then running Lightroom. You can now generate previews that you couldn't before? If you can, you can then restore your previews and delete the cache of your old preview (the file that you renamed).
