Lightroom :: Is It Possible To Import Multiple Shoots To Multiple Folders

Aug 5, 2012

I have seen similar questions here on the forum but either they are not what I'm looking for, or older versions of LR.What I need is to import from one folder / memory card and mark some of the photos with different shoot names or headline. This name should then be used as a final folder name.
 
My current structure:

2012
   - 06_Cyprus
   - 07_Vacation in Denmark
   - 07_Trip to Oslo
 
I have 20.000 photos in this structure already imported by Bibble and before that Downloader Pro. I would like to do everything in one program, not have to use Downloader Pro every time I need to structure my photos.
 
The only way I have seen to do this in Lightroom 4 is to do multiple imports and that gets annoying! This is the biggest factor for me if I will continue with Bibble / Corel Aftershot or go for Lightroom.

Jan 15, 2013

For example, let's say I have a file on a hard drive labeled 2012. Inside that file there are three folders with photos and they are labeled Phoenix, Seattle, Portland. Is there a way to Import these folders at one time and keep the names, or will they all come into Lightroom only as 2012?

Lightroom :: Unable To Move Multiple Folders?

Dec 29, 2011

I bought a ReadyNAS and a few harddrives to go with it, and decided to move all my 35594 pictures to it.As Lightroom has some silly features like not being able to move multiple folders unless they have a root folder, I moved most of these files via Explorer and then had to sync them one by one for hand (which is annoying, as there's one folder for every day – however, that's another question). For the rest of the 20 000 photos, I decided to move them with Lightroom.

 Results:

0 missing files from the files I moved with Explorer and resynced.

3049 missing files from the files I moved with Lightroom.
 
The files simply don't exist anymore, on neither of the disks. I've searched every single drive for them completely by file name, date, everything. They're gone.This has nothing to do with disk failure, or user error. Only the files I moved with Lightroom are affected.
 
Considering there's both client work and personal pictures among these, it's crucial that I get them back.
 
There's another thread about this problem here, except that I didn't have the luck of just 80 files.

Lightroom :: Found Multiple Folders Of Catalogue In Master Folder?

Jan 8, 2014

I have been forced to check under the hood in LR due to the fact that I have lost a big chuck of my keywords, and I'm contemplanting if its worth importing a copy of my backup copy. I am debating if I should just go back and re-enter all the missing keywords, or retrieving a backup copy. However, I read somewhere that its wise to change the name of the master catalog before retrieving a backup copy.
 
However, I found multiple folders of my catalog in my master folder. I'd like to know which one should I delete without causing any major collateral damage.
 
1- folder 176-2.lrcat                   created 3-26-11            2:51  PM    289 MB
2- folder 176-2-2.lrcat                created 2-12-13          10:32 PM     363 MB
3- folder 176-2-3.lrcat                created 2-24-13            5:24 PM     287 MB
4- folder  176-2 copy.lrca           created 3-26-11            2:31 PM     179 MB
 
In addition, there are corresponding Previews.lrdata for each folder.

Lightroom :: Command Click To Select Multiple Folders - No Longer Works

Mar 11, 2012

A couple of things that seem to be missing in LR4. In all previous versions of LR, I could select non contiguous folders (or collections or a mix of the two) by holding down the Command key (using a Mac). That doesn't work in LR4. Also, when I create virtual copies (which I also do all the time), the copies lose the name of the original. They are simply name "copy 1."

Lightroom :: How To Import Multiple Catalogs Simultaneously Into One Catalog

Nov 28, 2013

I would like to import multiple catalogs simultaneously into one catalog.
 
The thing is that I lost my main catalog in a hard-drive failure and my last backup is too old. Fortunately I always "export a folder as catalog" into the original pictures folder, so I always keep starring, color editing, etc.
 
What I would like to do now is to import each of these litle catalogs into one new main one, without having to import each at a time, but all simultaneously, which would save me an enormous amount of time.
 
Is there a way to do this?

Lightroom :: Select Multiple Files In Import Grid View In LR4?

May 5, 2012

So far the only way I have discovered is to laboriously click the checkbox on each image I want to import. It seems that one should be able to select a range with one click (e.g. holding down Shift and then clicking the last image in the range) or by using a context (right-click) menu. No dice.

Photoshop Elements :: Remove Multiple Folders From Organizer 12?

Feb 8, 2014

How do I remove multiple folders from Elements Organizer 12, without deleteing the folders?
 
I imported all my pictures into Organizer. As it turns out, that included dozens of subfolders containing near-duplicate images, which now all show up in Organizer. That is because I previously used Google Picasa, which backs up the unprocessed original images into a subfolder called .picasaoriginals. I want to remove all these .picasaoriginals folders, but the only wny I can find to do it is to right-click each one individually, click Delete Folder, then confirm in the dialog box. I can't find any way to multi-select the folders.
 
Also, I have two of these folders that appear shaded in the folder list, where the option to delete is greyed-out. The contents report as not found, and my guess is that the folders have been deleted from the disk. How do I get rid of these from the folder list in Organizer?

Photoshop Elements :: 10 Organizer - Can Show Same Photo In Multiple Folders?

Aug 29, 2013

I am trying to copy photos from one folder to another, leaving them in the original folder and have them show in the organizer in the new folder.

I find I can duplicate the photo and then drag and drop it, but each step takes literally a minute to complete (in explorer it is 1 second or less). To move a hundred photos one at a time to different folders would take quite a while.
 
so I tried to pull them in from the FILE button get new files and it won't because the photo exists in another folder in the catalog.
 
How can you have the organizer show photos in multiple folders, is it possible

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Lisp Routine To Read From Directory Which Has Multiple Folders?

Jul 10, 2012

Having trouble with my lisp routine to read from a directory which includes several folders.  There is no problem when the files are all mixed in the directory but when dealing with hundreds of files, it makes sense to organize files by types.

Using (ade_aliasadd "BASE" "S:\") and there is no problems when the files are actually there and not in a subfolder called APN_DWG or EAS_DWG.  Should I be setting up the environment differently and if so how?

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Updating Thousands Of Blocks In Multiple Sub Folders

Feb 4, 2013

I have to update a block in literally thousands of cad files. I have the book "AutoCAD Secrets Every User Should Know About" and the author gives examples of this by using a Batch File, Script File, and then Lisp Routine. Any easier way to do the following:

Insert "Gennnotes=" (updating the block) into any drawing that has this block in the drawing already, if not Quit.

Typically to do this I would open the drawing "insert" "gennotes=", then cancel the command and save the drawing. I have a lot of subfolders that also hold drawings so the command would have to search through each subfolder for dwgs.

Like I mentioned above, I tried to use the Batch File/Script Method but my batch file failed. It could find the folder Autocad 2012 - English. For some reason it was not seeing the spaces in between. Not sure. Here's the batch file portion of the routine:

Batch file:

For /r C:Sybex %%f in (c:sybex*.dwg) do start /wait
C:ACAD2012Autocad 2012 - Englishacad.exe "%%f" /b
C:gennotesupdate.scr

Lightroom :: 4.3 Duplicate Folders Being Created On Import?

Mar 10, 2013

duplicate folders being created with Lightroom 4.3 on import?
 
When I import photos, they go to a folder with a name "XXX" for example.
 
The folder is in a hierarchy of "2013, March, XXX".
 
Lightroom creates a folder  here and above 2013! It is making a mess of my library.
 
Also, when I import using Photo Mechanic (great software that just works!) and then do a "synchronize folder" in Lightroom, only 1 photo is transferred.
