Lightroom :: Unable To Move Photos From One Folder To Another?

Jun 20, 2012

FIRST: I cannot move photos from one folder to another, drag and drop does not function at all, and there is no 'move' command with a right-cllick on a photo. I can move folder locations, drag and drop on the folder view works, but I want to move individual photos. I am sure I could do it with previous versions.
 
SECOND: If I click on HELP, I simply get a box up from Adobe AIR saying: This installation of this application is damaged. Try re-installing or contacting the publisher for assistance. I am loathe to re-install as last time I did that, I had a grand hassle over number of activations, even though I am only running on my one and only machine.

Lightroom :: 3 - How To Move Photos To Different Folder In Library Module

Mar 2, 2012

Trying to move some photos to a different folder in the Library Module. I highlite the photos, click on the folder I want to move them to and press "Move Selected Photos to this Folder." Then I get an error message that the photos are already in the destination. OK. 1 Problem I just made the folder. My computer crashed about 3 weeks ago. Got it back up and reinstalled LR3.

Made 2 catalogs;

1. Personal and
2. Work Photos.

All of my personal photos I put in the personal cat with no sub-folders, my work went into the work which I made sub-folders. Today I finally got the time to set up my Personal folder. Made 3 new folders, one was Vietnam, which I divided into sub-folders of the place I was stationed and my R&R to Hawaii. Started separating the photos, all went well till I tried to move photos to a sub-folder call Phu Loi. Then I got the error message.

Lightroom :: Unable To Locate Folder / Images After Failed To Move Folder

Feb 24, 2014

I was in the process of moving a folder inside or LR. I might have clicked and moved it twice since it was very slow. LR wasn't able to complete the move and gave me an error message. After I clicked "OK" on the error message, I wasn't able to find my folder/images from the old or new location. I did a spotlight search on my mac, but I wasn't able to find them anywhere. Where has my folder/images gone? I tried to locate them without any success.

Lightroom :: Moved All Photos From Structured Folder System Into One Unorganised Folder On External Drive

Jul 17, 2013

I've got about 10,000 photos that I've moved in lightroom by creating a folder called 'pictures' on the external drive using the left folders panel. I then selected all the images in the root drive on my computer and dragged them onto the 'pictures' folder on the external drive, and I expected the folder structure to come with it. Only after I realised that they had all moved into one folder. Is there a way of moving the images back into a structure without manually doing it? Here's a screenshot.....

Lightroom :: Lost Folder Structure After Move Within 5

Mar 19, 2014

 I had folders on my internal drive that used the same structure as the populated folder structure on my external hard drive.  I just went through and keyworded all the internal drive photos (which happened to be iphone photos), then, on the internal drive, I selected the 2013 folder, selected all the images in that folder and dragged them to the 2013 folder on my external drive.  (all steps were done within LR5) Now, on the ext drive, when I choose 2013, I see all of the photos, but most of the subfolders now say 0. How can I get my images back into the folders they were already in?

Lightroom :: 4.4 - Unable To Move Files From One Folder To Another?

Dec 5, 2013

Very recently I have lost the ability to move files from one folder to another in Lightroom 4.4.  I was highlighting the files I wanted to move and then I would drag them to the folder I wanted to move the files to.  Now if I highlight numerous files when I try to drag the files Lightroom will just highlight the file my cursor is hovering over.  It then won't let me drag the file to the folder I desire.

Lightroom :: How To Move (Not Delete) A Keyword Out Of A Folder

I'm using LR v4.2
 
Over time, I've organized related keywords into various folders for simplicity. I come to find that I don't care for this system and I wish to have all my keywords in a single list without being grouped into folders.
 
How do I move (not delete) individual keywords out of the folders where they currently are located?

Lightroom :: How To Move Auto Imported Images Into A Destination Folder

Sep 30, 2012

I have a working "watched folder", established through Lightroom's auto-import settings.  When I place an image into that folder, it is imported into my lightroom catalog. 
 
However, if I put a folder of images into that watched folder (i.e. "James and Stephanie" is put into a "wedding" folder), nothing happens.  I do not want all of my images in one single folder; that's why I have Lightroom, so they can be organized in folders but collected in a database. 
 
I also do not understand why Lightroom wants to move auto-imported images into a destination folder. 
 
I would like to drop a folder into the "watched folder" and have Lightroom import (without moving the image) into my catalog.
 
I was surprised to not find this issue in Internet searches; is it dreadfully obvious, or is there a better way that I'm not familar with?

Lightroom :: How To Find Misplaced Pictures And Move To Original Folder

Sep 13, 2012

In LR, my photos are stored in folders named by date. Ex : 20120913

Sometimes, I run over photos that are not where they belong. Ex : a picture from 2010-01-01 misplaced in the 20110720 folder.
 
I am sure there are quite a few misplaced pictures in my catalog.
 
Is there any easy way to find them and move them where they belong ?

Lightroom :: How To Move The Presets Folder To A User Defined Location

Dec 19, 2013

On Windows, it is possible to move the presets folder to a user-defined location?
 
By default the presets folder is located at C:UsersusernameAppDataRoamingAdobe. I use Lightroom on both a desktop and laptop and ideally I'd like to sync the presets between them by moving the presets folder to my SkyDrive folder. This way if I create a new preset on one device, it will automatically sync to the other device via SkyDrive.
 
Yes I realize I can store presets within the catalog folder and I could move my catalog to a SkyDrive folder which would technically accomplish my goal. However that would require sync'ing my entire catalog which I do not want to do; that would generate a lot of syncing traffic back and forth all the time. So I want my catalog and my presets in seperate locations, and I want to define where my presets are stored, which I haven't seen an option for.

Lightroom :: Imported Photos From Folder On A Server

Sep 20, 2013

I have a Lightroom catalog on each of two different computers. Each of the two catalogs have imported photos from the same "Photos" folder on a server.

There is one main folder with hundreds and hundreds of sub folders.
 
The one catalog is showing 226,186 photos and the other catalog is showing 218,732 photos.
 
I've tried syncing the computer's catalog that has 7,454 less photos imported than the other computer but I always end up with two different totals on each computer. Very frustrating since both catalogs must match.
 
One computer is a Mac and the other computer is a PC (not sure that should make any difference).

Lightroom :: Synchronize Folder Then Import New Photos

Jul 28, 2012

I am new to Lightroom, and just purchased LR 4, upgraded to LR 4.1 and catolog my photo files. After this, I uploaded some photos from a SD card to a common folder (e.g. "Uploads 2012") on my hard drive using LR. This worked well. I then used Windows Explorer to drag/drop those files into their respective proper folders (there were many files on the card that were appropriate for different existing folders on my computer).
 
Here's where the problem starts. Prior to this uploading session, I had 297 files in a photo folder. Afterwards, I had 427 photos in this same folder. Using LR 4.1, I chose to "synchronize folder", then "import new photos" (it recognizes that there are new photos in this dialogue box).  The program tells me this task is completed, but afterwards there remain 297 photos in the LR folder, and 427 photos in the location in Windows Explorer.

Lightroom :: Import Not Showing All Photos In Folder

Jan 16, 2012

I am trying to sync my folders but Lightroom is not importing all of the photos in the folder.  In one folder I have 675 photos (both jpg and CR2) and Lightroom is only importing 1.  Even though you can look at the folder in another window and see all 675 (photo below).  This is happening in several of my folders.
 
The folders that have problems have arrows that are greyed out versus solid grey arrows. If the info is needed:

- Mac Mini - OSX (Leopard)
- Lightroom 3
- Photos were in Aperature prior to exporting out to import into Lightroom
- Photos were either taken with Canon Rebel XS or Canon Powershot S3IS
- I have tried optimizing my catalog.
- I have tried remove the folder from Lightroom and re-importing.  Still only recognizes 1 photo.
  - The do not import duplicates button is not clicked
  - I have confirmed that all filters are off.

Lightroom :: Folder Shows More Photos In File Than There Actually Are?

Feb 18, 2012

I have a folder on my hard drive with 72 photos (files) in it.  When I pull this folder up in Lightroom 3, the number next to the folder incorrectly indicates that there are 73 photos in this file!?  When I "Select Al"l photos for this folder, it indicates that 72 out of 73 photos were selected.  Why does Lightroom indicate one extra photo that should not be there, and how do I correct this?  Synchronizing the folder did not fix this.

Lightroom :: 5 - Mac / Moving Folder Deletes Photos

I am using the latest (stable) version of LR5 on a up to date iMac. I was moving my photos (that is - the top level folders) from one drive to another in LR. After a while LR shows the error message saying the files couldn't be found. When checking in Finder I see the folder structure gets duplicated at the new location, the original folders are empty though and I can find the photos in trash.

Lightroom :: Imports Photos To Wrong Folder?

Jan 22, 2014

I've been importing lots of photos from my hard drive into lightroom and been moving/renaming them in the process. I only got lightroom a few weeks ago.
 
This has worked fine but i've recently imported a few hundred photos off my iphone and doing the same thing - move and rename. The trouble is, these photos keep going into the 2009 folder, instead of the 2012 or 2013 folders that they should be. When i look at the photos, they have the correct name, and the capture date seems to be correct, its just lightroom keeps wanting to put them in the wrong folder by year.
 
naturally I want all my photos sorted into the right date folders as this is the way ive decided to organise my photos...
