Lightroom :: 5.3 - Cannot Import From Network Share
Feb 9, 2014
I'm using Lightroom 5.3 on Mac OS X Mavericks.
My photos are located on a Mac Mini via a file share on my home wired network.
I can open and access (read/write) all the images with Finder.
However, if I try to import the photos into LightRoom, it says "The files appear to be unsupported or damaged."
If I copy the files to my local computer, they import fine! But I need to keep my files on the network share; my laptop doesn't have enough space for everything.

Is it possible to share Lightroom with one other individual on a network? We need to have one database with images we can share and maintain together.

In my (large) Lightroom 5.2 (Windows) library I have three instances of, essentially, the same network share (a Drobo NAS) which appear separately in the library.
One appears as Share (\nas) L:, one as \nasShare and one as \nasshare. The contents of the share are spread randomly across the three - so one might contain the folders seriesevent1, seriesevent4 and seriesevent5 and another seriesevent2, seriesevent3 and seriesevent6.
Is there an easy way to convince Lightroom that they're all the same physical location and merge them in the library? No amount of dragging, dropping, importing or synchronization seems to have had any effect so far!

I've created some tool palettes I want to share across a network. After loading the tool palettes at a work station, I have to manually update the images for the blocks. Is there a way to have this done automatically?

I want to have an application settings file stored centrally on a network drive. In the past I have used INI files, and for a Windows app would now use an app.exe.config XML file. My question is: what is the preferred technique for storing shared settings centrally for an AutoCAD .dll plug-in? It seems even for a full Windows app that the app.exe.config file can't be located on a network drive, but I could be mistaken. In any case that doesn't appear an option for a .dll plug-in. Everyone comments that INI files "are so 90s", but I can't see an alternative.

We have a new windows 7 PC x64 with Illustrator CS6, when we open a file from our server share, it only utilises 25% of the available network bandwidth to open the file.
On an older XP 32 bit machine it utilises the full bandwidth ie 100% so the file opens up to 6 times faster.
When I copy the file from the network to either machine machine it copies fine and uses 99% of the network speed.
What can I do to my new machine to speed the transfer of data in illustrator?

It has been reported and reproduced by Support, an issue whereby Photoshop .PSD files disappear when they’re saved to a network file share. Upon initial investigations Support have observed the following behaviour when saving a Photoshop file.
The document is initially saved as a new file on the file share.The original .PSD file is deleted on the file share.The newly created file is renamed to the same name as the original file.
An issue often arises when steps 1 and 2 complete however step 3 fails. When a file is reported by users as having disappeared, the new file created in step 1 can be renamed from .00_ to the original *.PSD file name on the server as the *.00_ files are normally hidden by the desktop operating system. This allows people to see and open the file from both PC’s and MAC’s using AFP and SMB protocols.
A related issue often reported by users is that they receive an error message “Could not save as” when trying to save a .PSD file. Troubleshooting the issue confirms that the user is able to save the file if they perform a “Save As” operation in Photoshop.
From the reported problems and observations there is clearly an issue with how Photoshop performs a file save operation further exacerbated by the fact the process doesn’t fail safely.

in Corel Draw X4, we can use the scrapbook docker to see thumbnail of locals files, but when this files are on a network share or if this network share is mapped to local drive, thumbnails does not show up. But when I use File/Open to this network share or mapped drive, thumbnails are ok.
I also heard that in X5 scrapbook is depreciated, is there an alternative?

I am a technology consultant with a client using Civil 3D 2012.
They moved from 2008 to 2012, and we've noticed something a bit odd: browsing network shares from within Autocad's file explorer is significantly slower than doing the same in Windows Explorer. By "slower", I mean going from directory to directory shows noticeable lag before the directory contents are displayed, whereas in Windows Explorer there isn't any. They don't recall having this issue with 2008.
All workstations are Windows 7, and the "server" where the shares live is running XP Pro (very small firm with 2-3 people hitting the "server" at any given time - 3 is rare). I've updated Civil 3d with the latest service pack (2) as of this writing hoping it might resolve the issue, but it doesn't seem to.

How to share tool palettes with office members across a network. There seems to be a fair amount written about this but none of it seems to be working for me. Any method of doing this that works and if so do the palettes update automatically for everyone else if I export an update?

Since upgrading to 5.3, I have been having issues importing files to my NAS. I have tried a variety of ways of connecting it to the computer (through a wifi router and directly over ethernet, using SMB and AFP protocols) and I keep running into the same issue: LR works on it for a while, then tells me that all files are unsupported or damaged. Sometimes, one manages to get through and is imported correctly, but that's it.
The files are valid, Photo Mechanic imports them without problems. LR import the files correctly to the internal drive of the computer.
The main machine is a 27" iMac running OS X 10.9. The NAS is a Synology DS411j running the latest DSM (4.3).

Some these users who have read access only are having difficulties opening the files in autocad LT 2012 because .dwl and .dwl2 files trying to be created on the sharepoint site. Is there a way to redirect these files to their locally to their computer? I would like to avoid giving the users write permissions to the site.

Environment:
Files stored using SAMBA shares NetgearReady NAS
Two sites connected via WAN
Users using Windows 7 -64bit with Architecture 2014
Mapped drives are used for both site to access NAS, but use different drive letters.
At one point working the projects, users starting getting fatal errors opening from the share. All attempts to get past this failed and I thought the drawing or base files were corrrupt. However, when the files are moved locally to workstation and opened without issue. The users in one office are now working off this files using UNC \serverproject...
The interesting thing, is that users in the other office have no issues dealing with these drawings using on the NAS. The only difference is the WAN and drive mapping letter. This is how they have always worked and never had this issue. The only other thing I will add is they upgraded from 2010 two months ago, but no problems with any other projects.

Have just installed Windows LR4 trial, told it to Import files from my photo collection in a folder + subfolders on a network attached storage (NAS) unit. Windows Explorer tells me that there are 10,308 files in 408 folders in the main folder, totalling 38.8gb but on scanning the folder prior to import LR4 tells me that there are only 9,612 photos.
My photo collection folder contains only photos and no other file types.
Why is there this discrepancy ? I've searched around to see whether there is some hidden filter that is excluding certain photo files but cannot find anything of that nature.

I just installed Gimp on a few of our machines at work, the main reason being to allow users to import images from our network scanner and manipulate them etc...
If we scan several pages at once and import them in Gimp, only 1 page is imported. Once this is saved and closed, we then have to go through the whole process of File > Acquire etc. again, for each page scanned. (We use Fuji-Xerox mailbox scanner utility).
With Photoshop, when importing multiple pages from the scanner, all pages are imported to the main program at once.Is there any way to acheive this in Gimp? It's the only real problem we have with it.

We have about 10,000 + personal photos. Can I install the LR Database on my server so that my wife and I can both be adding metatags to the photos at the same time ? I don't mind if I have to buy 2 copies, but I am more concerned about sharing the database.

I'm working with a friend set up his Lightroom 4 on his office an laptop computers. Ideally we would like to have the catalog on an external drive that we can attached to both computers. I already loaded the LR4 s/w on both but put the catalogs in the default location within the picture folder in a folder called Lightroom Photo's.
1. how do I change the default to the external drive?
2. will that drive be interchangeable between the laptop and desktop?

I am using Civil 3D 2013. I work in an office where we have a few different flavors of Autocad (LT, MEP, regular vanilla AutoCAD etc...) and versions (2010 LT, 2011, 2012, 2013).
For the most part there isn't much inter-office drawing coordinate that has to happen, but there is the occasional project where multiple disciplines (Structural, Mechanical and Civil Site) have to share drawings.
The specific problem I am having is when I share my 2013 Civil 3D drawing with a user using 2011 MEP. He gets the typical rectangle for the proxy objects (in my case, my pipe networks for sanitary and storm drain). We've tried downloading and installing various object enablers, but there doesn't seem to be one for a 2013 to 2011 scenario. So I setup my parts to be on layers that he can just turn off. HOWEVER... the actual pipe network (not the structures, parts, labels etc... the network itself) ends up on layer 0. For this specific project, I do the old (ssget "x" '((8 . "0")) search to select all objects on layer 0, add those objects to a selection set (pselect), then in my modify objects dialog I filter for pipe networks, then change the layer to something other then 0.
While this is a workaround that works for me, what I really want to know is if there is a way that I can change the default layer that the network (again, not pipes, structures or text, the actual network) so I don't have to use the workaround. Any thoughts?
P.S. It's killing me that I had to create a new Autodesk login and now all my AutoCAD "street cred" is lost

I am having issues with importing / updating existing storm network.
The problem is when I update the storm network, All the outlets are added as new structures. It does not update the existing headwall / end sections.
I then have to go thru and delete the added (null) outlet structure. Then, reattach the existing outlets to the pipe network to show up in the structure data table correctly.

My catalogue is huge and is on my imac. I prefer to work on my laptop & I'm thinking of getting a faster newer laptop so that I can access my computer via my laptap and I can install lightroom on my laptop.BUT Can I access the catalogue via my networked laptop and add keywords to photos in the catalogue? I'm on a brand new imac and would be buying the newest macbook pro running latest system and latest versions of Adobe apps.
I DON'T want to drag an external drive around with me. I know that would work. On the other hand, those are pretty huge these days and pretty compact.

I have my complete catalog of Lightroom 3.5 currently on my harddisc of my PC (windows 7). I want to move this catalog to a network based RAID disc and work from there. I've exported my catalog to the networkdisc but how do I tell Lightroom to use that catalog instead of the one on my local drive?
