I have version 2.3 using it on a Mac. I am trying to learn some keyboard commands to do my most common tasks. I cannot figure out how to "delete from disk" via the keyboard. When I hit delete, I get the window that has "remove" as the default. I can go to "delete from disk" with the mouse but I am trying to cut down on my mouse use to save my wrists.
View 4 RepliesI have downloaded & installed the LR 4.4 trial; I've used Photoshop Elements for many years, and am trying Lightroom for the improved capabilities it's supposed to have compared to PSE. According to the website, the downloaded trial is FULLY functional, just like the purchased version.
I take 100s of photos during a typical outing, and I want to use LR to screen/sort/process the photos. If I take 100 photos, I'll probably only keep 10-15 of them in the end. Therefore I need to be able to DELETE the photos with LR. I mean REALLY delete them, from the LR catalog/collections and from my computer hard drive as well. Is this possible? If it is, how is it done easily within LR?
When I press Delete, the photo disappears from the screen I'm in, but it appears the photo was just "removed from the collection"; unfortunately, the photo is still in the directory/folder on my computer hard drive, and it's probably still somewhere within LR as well. I want it deleted. No dialog box opens, which I've heard about in some of the forum posts, so I can't thereby instruct LR to delete from the hard drive as well. How can I do this?
It would be nice if there were a setting or preference somewhere within LR, where I could make the delete key mean DELETE. Does this not exist?
Whenever I try to delete fom disk nothing happens. I've tried doing this directly by hitting the delete key on keyboard, but also by deleting rejected photos. Nothing happens.
I'm on a Mac, OSX.
I observed that when photos are deleted while in a smart preview collection the photos are not removed from the smart preview collection. Resulting over time in a large smart preview file with unused photos, consuming your hard drive space.
It is therefor important only to delete photos when they are first discarded from the smart preview catalog.
When eventually photos are removed while they were available in the smart preview catalog the work around to delete them is to locate the catalog named: "Lightroom 5 Catalog Smart Previews.lrdata" and to open it with Lightroom. When opened you can select the photos and remove them. After that you can remove the folder from your Lightroom folders and the file itself will consist of only 0 bytes.
It would maybe a good idea that removing photos automatically would discard them from the smart preview.
When deleting photos I used to get a dialogue asking if I wanted to delete from catalog only or from disc as well. This dialogue has suddenly stopped appearing - very frustrating as deleting now only removes photo from the catalog. Clearly I will often want to get rid of the photo from disc to avoid clutter.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI work with an external drive in Lightroom 5. I used to import hundreds of photos into folders and while reviewing them i could delete and individual photo and get a pop up message confirming "delete from disk". If I clicked that the file would be deleted and I could continue reviewing photos. Suddenly now when i delete a photo in the review process I get the first message, "delete from disk" and if I click that I get a second message now that says "The files are on a volume that does not support trash, permanently delete files from disk?" If I click that, my screen goes blank and I have to search where I was in the flow in reviewing the photos. It is impossible to quickly go thorugh and delete photos!!
I do not use preview to delete photos before they are imported, I feel I need to see the full file and then decide if I want to delete it.
I created a command that I no longer use. I actually made a spelling error upon creating it "SUPECLOSE" and I want to delete it.
This is how I created this command: I typed in ALIASEDIT in order to add a new alias to a command.
I then clicked on the "Add" button.
In the "Alias:" field, I typed in "xx"
And in the "AutoCAD Command:" field, I typed in "SUPECLOSE" - which isn't actually an autoCAD command. "SUPERCLOSE" is the command I use to run a custom LISP routine that I created. Upon hitting pressing "OK" to this, AutoCAD prompted me with: "'SUPECLOSE' is a new command, Do you want to add this to your list of commands?"
I said yes. And then shortly afterwards realized the spelling error I had made. Problem is...I don't know how to access this list and delete the new command that I had just created (which does nothing).
i must have changed somethin in the settings, and
most of the keyboard commands wont work now.
( bad commands; cntrl+N, cntrl+T, etc., all that require "cntrl" )
I want to make a character walking by pressing the keyboard arrows, but i dont know how to code it.
View 4 Replies View RelatedCapture the following keyboard commands:
CTRL + A
EDIT > TRANSFORM > FLIP HORIZONTAL
CTRL + D
And save it as an Action called am_Flip_Horizontal.atn. Then how would I go about loading that action automatically each time PS boots and assigning a keyboard shortcut to it (say, CTRL + /) ?
I notice that some Actions are black, some are red. Some have a checkmarks and others have toggle icons. I think I have the concept down, but just not the how-to knowledge.
InDesign and a number of other Creative Suite programs work great when I set my keyboard layout to Dvorak. They continue to interpret commands as QWERTY but interpret typing as Dvorak.
Photoshop doesn't though and it drives me crazy to continually switch keyboard layouts every time I want to go from image editing to text editing. Is there a way to get Photoshop to behave like InDesign with regards to this?
Just recently I have really started to develop LISP routines and I am curious if it is possible to integrate them with a Keyboard call-out.

View 9 Replies View RelatedHow to change the keyboard shortcuts for applying Color Labels to photos? I have Keyboard Tamer, and I was able to remove the shortcuts for applying star ratings, but there seems to be no way to change the commands in Photo > Set Color Label.
See, many times a day I will click the white balance color temperature fileld and start typing "5500" only to then realize that the click on the entry field didn't activate it and I have now inadvertently changed the ratings and/or label colors for several photos. Super frustrating to then have to undo a bunch of times, especially when I'm viewing based on rating and/or color label, because photos can spontaneously vanish from view.
Whenever I customize some keyboard commands, they always seem to reset after I close and re-open Inventor. I'm not quite sure how I could be missing something. I've gotten very use to these commands in previous versions. Once I setup my commands, I am able to use them for the session.

I am trying to find a way to assign keyboard shortcuts for different selection sets functions/commands.
I failed to find selection set commands in customize user interface menu. seems that they named it in a manner so that people cant find them when they simply look for "selection" or "set" or "create selection set" or "make selection set" .
what I need is:
1. when I select a group of objects I want to make them a selection set with one keyboard shortcut. (to go to the sets menu window and press that "create a selection set" button is too time consuming. I am also aware that just writing a letter to the selection sets dialog creates a set but still I want that shortcut.)
2.select an object and immediately jump to the whole selection set with a keyboard shortcut. or toggle through selection sets.
3.delete the active selection set with one keyboard shortcut.
are these functions available as native commands in customize user interface?should I go looking for a maxscript ?
lost ability to preselect lines when typing keyboard commands?

View 14 Replies View RelatedI've just deleted hundreds of photos off my desktop from My Pictures, which took about 2 hours, presuming that that process would also delete the photos from the Hard Drive, and thus also at the same time from Photoshop Elements 12( on both Organizer and Editor). Yet all of those photos I’ve just deleted from My Pictures (and again, presumably from the Hard Drive), are still showing up in Elements 12! Why do these photos still show up in Organizer if I’ve deleted them from My Pictures (again, presumably also from the Hard Drive)??

View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen I mark a thumbnail in Organizer and click the Delete key, I get a new window, where I can click OK to delete it. But if I also want to delete it from my HD, I must first click in the small window and THEN click OK.Constructors who are able to think and not least to imagine the users need, would make three clickables:
Cancel
Delete from album
Delete from album and fro, HD.
Then you need only one click instead of two.
Just a small thing, if you are sorting 400 pictures.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am using PSE 12. When I delete photos the program is moving automatically to the bottom or top of my catalog rather than staying in place. So if I am deleting photos 1000 - 1005 it will reload at the bottom or top of my catalog. This is a huge annoyance given I have 12K photos. Other times it simply freezes and crashes.

View 1 Replies View RelatedHow can I enter keywords in such a way that they don't initiate LR commands? (that subsequently make LR do all kinds of unwanted and unexpected things?
Usually it works. Now for reasons unknown to me, typing in the keyword box doesn't enter keywords, it enters commands.
And the white entry box under the keyword box is now active. I don't want that. I want to enter the keywords directly in the grey box, like I was doing before.
And now, I am also being prevented from removing unwanted keywords. Before, I could just delete them or backspace them out in the gray box.
I have downloaded LR5 Upgrade onto my PC (Windows 7). The LR5 new features work. So far the program is working as expected, except that when an image is deleted using LR5, the image disappears from LR5 and appears in the recycle bin as it should, but it does not disappear from my Canon DPP program. LR3 is still on the computer and when an image was deleted using LR3, it always disappeared from both LR3 and Canon DPP. Why won't a deletion with LR5 take the image out of Canon DPP ?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI use Aperture 3 and am thinking of switching to Lightroom 4. I do not store my photos in the Aperture 3 library. Instead I store my photos in my own folder system on an external hard drive and I reference the files in Aperture. This works well for most functions, but when I delete a photo from Aperture, it simply removes the thumbnail and all versions from Aperture, but does not delete the actual photo file on my hard drive. If I want to delete the actual photo file I must click "show file in finder" and manually delete it from the finder window.
Is the process of organizing photos in your own folder system, and deleting unwanted photos, more seemlessly integrated in Lightroom 4?
