Lightroom :: Sync LR4 Photo Folders With Explore Folders That Has Been Renamed
Jan 24, 2013I renamed a lot of my photo folders in Explore. Now in LR4, all these folders appears with an ?. I can't work on pictures from these folders - I get the message: File named xxx is offline or missing. It does not sync the parent folder. Nor does it sync the folder it self. If I right clik on a LR4 folder with a ?, and try to locate the folder, I only get the option to merge the identical folders. Is there any way to sort this. I can't restore the old folder names.

Aug 21, 2012I attended Matt's Kozlowski's LR4 seminar a few months ago. He talked about not using dates to organize your folders but instead use a meaningful description.
So at the time of IMPORT, I add the metadata, keywords and rename the folder to something meaningful. He said the folders cold still be found by date.
So.....on a recent trip to NEW HAMPSHIRE, i did some work, imported files into LR and renamed the files at import into my PICTURES directory on my laptop.
Now that I am home I am exporting as a catalogue but only the dates and not the names I gave at IMPORT for the folders appear in the library module.
DOI now have to go back at the destination and rename all the folders
I must be missing something.
I want to transfer all this work to my main computer but I will just be going back to bad habits using dates to name files.
Lightroom :: 1.3 Renaming Files - Some Photos Will Not Be Renamed?
Jun 28, 2010I had a second shooter for a wedding who uses Nikon (I'm Canon) and now I'm trying to rename her files in LR 1.3 Library mode and I get the following message:"Some photos will not be renamed because they are missing or not writable."I know they are not missing because I have them and have edited and worked on them in LR, so that leaves "not writable."What does that mean and what do I have to do to be able to rename these files?I've never had this problem before (she worked another wedding for me and gave me .NEF files and I had no problem).
PS: I know I need to change over to LR3, but right now I'm still in LR 1.3 until I can upgrade.

Sep 1, 2012I still use Picasa and LR3 (new to LR3, havent made the full switch as I'm still trying to get a grip on the LR3 learning curve)
What I did was change the folder names in Picasa (and found out I cannot undo folder name changes). I can locate the files in LR3 by keyword, but dont know how to reassosiate the files to their new folder.
Whats the the best way for LR3 to find these files again? I dont want to have to delete and reload the images, but will if its easier
Lightroom :: How To Relink Files Moved And Renamed Outside Of LR
Mar 20, 2013When I first started using LR, I converted several folders full of CR2s that had been imported into LR to .dng using the stand-alone DNG Converter and then used the OSX Finder to move those folders to my archive drives. (For those beginners following along - don't do this!!)
I want to re-link LR to those files but find that I need to do the relink routine one file at a time (instead of being able to use the "find nearby missing photos") because LR is looking for an exact match of filename + extension instead of just filename. The problem is that the files on the archve drive have a .dng extension and LR is looking for a .CR2 extension.
Is there a way of having LR look for just the filename? Perhaps a script of some sort?
3000 files to relink - one at a time is not a happy prospect.
(Of course, now I do everything from within LR. Live and learn!)

Lightroom :: Files Renamed When Importing To LR4 And Now Can't Find Them In LR3
Jan 11, 2012Yesterday I installed LR 4 Beta. I had a folder with 300 images in it on LR 3, obviously all files had names. I imported these photos into LR4 to work with LR4 and they were renamed in the process. Now in my LR3 folder, all the files still have there old names and the "missing photo ?" and I assume that's because the name has been changed and LR3 can't find them.

View 3 Replies View RelatedLightroom :: Restore Missing Sub-folders Into Folders Panel
Dec 10, 2011I am using LR3. I appear to be digging a massive hole for myself trying to sort out the catalog. When I first got LR, I had initially added just a small number of files just to see how LR worked. At this time I was still completing sorting out my full photo collection in 'my pictures' which were also copied to two external hard drives. Once that work was completed, I imported a complete folder (some 4000 images) into LR. The folder/subfolders appeared in the folders panel but the sub folders I had initially imported were displayed with a ? and a message 'file is missing or offline' Going down the road of 'find missing folder' eventually led to my problems.
About 6 sub folders are involved so I eventually took the decision that it could be easier just to remove them so I could then re-import them from 'my pictures'. That hasn't worked out as planned. When I go into 'file' to import photos from 'my pictures' the missing sub folders are there but the images are 'greyed' as well as the import button. When I put the cursor onto one of the greyed-out images the message 'appears to be a duplicate of another photo already in catalog' appears.
how I can restore the 'missing' sub folders into the folders panel.

Apr 22, 2013I am currently working on a project which requires me to run a script several times, probably over 200 times. Ive been racking my brain serveral times over and cannot figure out how to have the selected layer be renamed by its color information. Ive also tried to maybe build a new layer command into the current action I am using, but i keep having a dialog box pop up which interrupts the rest of the action.
Also, is there a way to automate an action according to a swatch. Meaning if I select a swatch can i have it perform the action and then move on to the next swatch in the list, or until the swatch list has been completed.
Photoshop Elements :: Importing Folders And Sub Folders Into PSE 12 Organizer
Nov 12, 2013Is there a way to have the organizer folders set up the same was as Windows Explorer? I have a main folder called Family with sub folders for all the years and in each of the subfolders there could be other subfolders. It wouldn't allow me to click on main folder and get all sub folders. I had to open main folder and then it shows all folders and sub folders separately. They are no longer nested.
Along the same lines, I wanted to create an album of Family with all subfolders, but that doesn't work.that is definitely a short coming which is why I never have used the organizer program, but just PSE for editing.

Lightroom :: 3.6 Not Showing New Folders
Dec 29, 2011I'm having a new problem after installing LR 3.6 update on my Mac running OSX Lion 10.7.2.
When importing a new batch of photos, the folder containing those new photos is not listed on the left-hand side "Folders" tab where they should be. The photos exist in my catalog, and work fine. I can search for them by date, and they are indeed on my hard drive in the correct folder. LR just isn't showing the folder. I've tried importing a number of ways, including Moving the photos, Copying them, or simply Adding them with similar results. I can create new folders using "Create Folder inside..." just fine, and that folder remains perfectly useable. When I try to create a new folder in LR named the same as one of the invisible folders, it says that folder name is already taken. This happens on local drives and external drives.
I've tried repairing permissions on my local disk, and verifying the external drives in Disk Utility. I could solve this manually, and create the folders myself in a series of re-names and file moving. But this is not a good workflow for me. I'm hoping this is a temporary bug with the new release.
