Win LR 6.4 import/Add - cannot change the destination of the catalogue

Using LR 6.4 and has several hard drives installed on my desktop computer.  LR (.lrcat) catalogs are on the G drive - and have always been on the G drive.  LR and Photoshop are also installed on drive G.  My photos are in the folders on the F drive.  My two catalogues are given due recognition in the preferences as being on drive G.

When I use the import - Add command, LR allows me to choose the source, but immediately chooses the destination as "My catalog" C drive.  Although there is a small box next to the C drive, it is unusable and I can't find a way to change the destination.  If I use other commands such as copy, I am able to change the destination.  But whenever I load photos from a disc, I have for them to make a folder on the F drive and copy them from the disk to the new folder.  Then, I want to add these pictures to the catalog that is currently active.  I want to add them without moving... l

I did a search for .lrcat and all the catalogs were on drive G, as they are supposed to be.  However, there is an entry on the C drive that is marked as a MS Word file and it is called: Lightroom assessment.docx.  A paragraph seemed more likely guilty, but I don't know if I should change it and if so, what to change:

The application folder: G:\Program Adobe Lightroom

Library path: G:\Lightroom Backups\June2015\June2015.lrcat

\Adobe\Lightroom

Settings folder: C:\Users\mg\AppData\Roaming

Thanks for any help or suggestions.  Is to make the process even very frustrating catalog help

No matter that one of your hard drives, the catalog is on. If this catalog is one that is active, then it is one which will contain references to imported pictures. When you use the add in the import dialog box images are added to the catalogue of their current location. You cannot specify a different destination when you use this option. When you use the copy option, then you are able to specify a destination in the right column of the import dialog box. You must choose the appropriate drive and the main folder in the folder tree that appears. Then, specify the name of the subfolder in the highlighted area:

You talked about change the destination of the catalog. It was a poor choice of words or you don't understand how the catalog works. The catalogue is available in one place. Normally it does not move anywhere unless you choose to do it manually. You can control the destination of your imported images, and Lightroom will import to the destination on any hard drive. But they are managed using the catalogue that remains in one place.

  • Microsoft Movie Maker - cannot change the length of each clip.

    Cannot change the length of each clip on Microsoft Movie Maker.

    I clicked on 'tools', then 'options' in Microsoft Movie Maker after importing my media and organize my clips as the way I would like it. When I then click on the "Advanced" tab, image duration shows only 5 seconds with the transition period only 1.25 seconds, which is the default setting and that is also what I want. However, when I play my project in Movie Maker, it accelerates through each clip. I also noticed that when I press the title of 'Clip' in my headings at the top left and then click on 'Properties', the duration of each clip shows that only 00:02 seconds. Which is why my speed clips too quickly.

    I would have thought that setting my time of duration in the Tools section would then set in the Clips section, but this is obniously does not. I don't understand why everyone would show differently and wonder if you can help me to slow down the speed that my movie is playing.

    ================================
    The change of setting to: Tools / Options /.
    Advanced... tab applies only to the added clips
    to the timeline * after * you change the setting.

    If you switch to view "Storyboard" and select
    all of the clips as a batch (select one and the type...
    CTRL + A)... you can add the 'Speed Up, Double.
    or "Slow down, half" effect of changing the
    duration. Simply select all clips / right click
    the effect on the menu... Choose...
    Add to storyboard table.

    'Speed Up, Double' cuts the duration of half.

    "Slow Down, half ' double life.

    These effects can be added up to six times.

    If you need finer adjustment...
    the info may be useful:

    You can change the duration for each clip
    manually. Move your pointer autour the
    edge of an element until you see a double red
    arrow. Now, drag the double red arrow...
    you will see if show a ToolTip displays the duration
    train to change.

    Or... just to redo the project after changing
    the long-term: Tools / Options / Advanced
    tab.

    Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forums.

    We would like to get some more information from you to help solve your problem. You better, please answer the following questions.

    ·         When was the last time it worked?

    ·         Remember to make changes to the computer recently?

    ·         You have security software installed on the computer?

    ·         You get the error message?

    When you open the tab automatic updates in the control panel or My Computer property sheet, all options of configuration of the automatic updates may be grayed out. This happens due to one of the following reasons:

    2. Strategy of automatic updates is enabled
    3. Automatic updates (and Windows Update) access is blocked by group policy

    The options available for automatic updates.

  • Cannot change the power state of VM: internal error

    Hello

    VMWare Workstation installation worked fine, but after creating my new virtual machine with a Win 10, the same message comes to me:

    Cannot change the power state of VM: internal error

    I looked a little in the log file, found this dump was set to zero, they changed in etc/security /, but that's all I've managed to find.

    PS: I'm leaving a beginner in the Linux world, so explanation would be welcome

    Hello

    Welcome to the VMware community forums.

    I don't think that the problem is related to a beginner linux user, it's a problem triggered by a specific hardware configuration.

    If you look at your log file again, there is an error just before the vmware process attempts to core dump. The dump is a reaction to the problem.

    vmx| E105: PANIC: VERIFY bora/vmcore/vmx/main/timeTracker_user.c:238 bugNr=148722
    

    If you then put the bug number into google, you get:

    http://KB.VMware.com/kb/1227

    Which indicates in return you can set a configuration file to specify the actual frequency of your processor.

    Your processor is an Intel (r) Core i5-3570 CPU @ 3.40 GHz

  • Moved from VM with Snap Shots, doesn't start: cannot change the power state of VM: internal error

    Hello

    Last week, I decided to move from a Windows host based Linux system. So I went through my VMs their power off and copied to another drive. I then installed 7 Centos and reinstalled VMWare Workstation 12 re-imported the virtual machine in VMWare and I tried to start.

    I received the following message...

    "Cannot change the power state of VM: internal error.

    Suspicious, I looked at the folder that contains the machine virtual and noticed it contained snapshots. DOH!

    I guess it is pretty bad, not sure where to start?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    I copied VM, with and without clichés, without problems. Have a few running on OSX Fusion so

    The first thing I would check would be for folders and .lck files. If so, remove them.

    akayshay,

    If I (put) understand, you can simply create a region Type, and then select with the normal (black) selection tool, then set the fill color to none in the Toolbox, and then click Add a new fill in the appearance palette and with the selected fill (yet) set your colour (ing) desired.

  • Cannot change the captions

    I have a form that was created by printing a worksheet excel to PDF, then we are changing in Livecycle ES - the form fields have been added.   However, we cannot change the captions for a group of radio buttons and options as insert text appear grayed out in the menu.   Is it just something weird about it because of how it was created?

    Sorry, I misunderstand the question.  When you import a PDF file (created from Word, Excel or any other application), you are presented with a dialog box that gives you two options... 'Create an interactive form with fixed pages' or 'create an interactive form with a fluid layout.  If you select the option 'fixed pages', a form is created where all the master key is represented as an image and cannot be changed, also, only form 'interactive' objects can be added to the form, such as fields, radio buttons, list boxes etc..  As you have noticed, the "non-interactive" objects like "static text", and "rectangles" are disabled.  In addition, the non-interactive properties such as captions (static text) are also disabled.  LC Designer is bahaving as expected, it is supposed to give the form designer a very accurate copy of the presentation of the original document.

    If you import a PDF file and select 'Create an interactive form with a fluid layout', the 'standard' of the original PDF is editable and properties of objects, and non-interactive form Explorer (legends, etc.) will be available.

  • Good for laptop - cannot change the ISP; keep returning to a previous provider

    Windows 7 laptop of my grandson, I'm migrating FIREFOX (excellent resource!) of my aging XP desktop. An existing Mozilla installation on the guarded device tries to connect to an ISP in Sydney (1000km) which kept out, I guess because the signal is too weak. Too far - on the Internet?

    Reinstalled my new ISP contact, reinstalled a fresh copy of Firefox, copied the old profile XP (just underneath the random string file name), but cannot change the fault. Firefox at startup tries to raise the old ISP (Sydney) and expires, and then allowing me to establish a manual connect with the ISP (my current) new.
    Perhaps a clue: in my Firefox troubleshooting info, change preferences, the browser start page is the address of 'old', with 'override mstone' ignore, what look like prints of registry entries, but I can't change all that - and maybe it's wise! An annoying secondary question: on arrival, the laptop listed no administrator user. So I am me came as an administrator, but I wonder if a past or current even Admin hidden could register (or other) entered resistant to change.

    Late discovery: the laptop is apparently infected with browser pirate btsearch.name. Search Google throws a series of removal procedures, and I'm now working through them.
    What Miss me?

    Sometimes a problem with Firefox can be a result of malware installed on your computer, you may not be aware of.

    You can try these free programs to search for malicious software that work with your existing anti-virus software:

    Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP, if you do not already have one.
