Lightroom :: Moved All Pictures - Lost All Links

Feb 26, 2013

So I bought the new 27" iMac.  I was keeping all my photos on an external drive but decided to use that for back up and move all the pics onto the new iMac's 3TB fusion drive. I made the move outside of Lightroom. Of course, when I did that, I botched up all the links.
 
Lightroom 4.3 now shows thumbnails of all my photos, none of my folders in the catalog window, all of my saved collections.  What's the most efficient way of getting LR to link my catalog to my newly-located (internal) photos file?

Lightroom :: Lost Folders And Pictures

Nov 24, 2012

Yesterday, I was importing pictures.  I followed the same process I have always used with LR.  I have LR4.2.  In the process, three folders were created and in two of them, 2 subfolders were created.  These are primarily stored on a Drobo.  After all the imports, I immediately backed up the Drobo to another HD.  When I went to show my wife the pictures today, none of the folders, subfolders or pictures could be found.  What LR did show me was that on the backup drive, there appeared all folders and subfolders but all had a question mark on them.  All the picture previews are there.  When I right click, one of the options is "Find missing Folder".  They don't seem to exist.  Unfortunately, I erased one of my cards from my D800E after I had backed up the files.  When I try to re-import from the other cards, LR identifies all the pictures as suspect duplicates.  I have never had this happen before and I have been a LR user from the beginning!  What happened to the folders and files?  How can I re-import from the cards that still have the pictures.

Lightroom :: Moving Folders - Lost Pictures

Jun 12, 2013

Using LR 4.4 on OS X 10.7.5
 
I have transferred some folders from my internal drive to an external (FW) drive. Whereas most of the transfer worked fine, I had the following problems:
 
- one folder (at least) completely disappeared from LR. The files were moved to the new HDD (I can see them in Finder), an empty folder remains in LR under the "old" drive and there is nothing in LR at the new position.
 
- an empty structure remained at the location of the old files
 
- on some folders, I had the message "could not complete the folder move..." and only part of the pictures (or none at all) were moved.

AutoCAD Map 3D :: Can't Create Polygons - Some Links Could Be Lost

Jan 25, 2013

There are two polygon topologies in the dwg attached. The 'Parcels' topology is a source while the 'RoW'  topology represents an overlay topology. Both are reported correct and complete, nevertheless an intersection overlay operation

does not show the expected result. Instead, a rather painful error message comes up: Can't create polygons.Some links could be lost. Frankly, I have never known any of the messages before...

Ironically, this sample is a part of a greater drawing and the rest of the topologies work just fine.

Photoshop Elements :: Lost Album To Picture Links?

Nov 12, 2012

I use Photoshop Elements 9 with Windows 7 and backed up both my pictures and saved my albums as a XML file.  Then my computer got a virus and the hard drive had to be wiped clean.  I restored my files and pictures from an external hard drive.  I reinstalled Photoshop Elements 9 and then uploaded the albums from the XML file I saved.  All the album names are restored, but the pictures are not connected to the albums!  How can I restore the albums with the pictures without starting over and dragging each picture into the album?  I thought the XML file saved the picture/album links?

Photoshop :: Do Tags Follow When Pictures Are Moved From 1 Drive To Another

Nov 25, 2012

When pictures are moved from one folder to another or from one drive to another (ie the C drive to an external drive) do the tags follow?  I move them in My Pictures (Photoshop isn't open) if that matters.  Do I have to do anything to ensure that the tags stay with the pictures?

InDesign :: Does Printing Pages With Ai Links Take Longer Than PSD Links?

Apr 15, 2014

I'm reconstructing an old document originally developed with PageMaker.  I've recreated a half dozen pages hopefully with more uniform techniques.  The original line art for the pages was created in AutoCad and some were scans.  To bring them into InDesign some of the art is now in psd format and some of the newer art is in Illustrator AI format. 
 
I've noticed that the pages with photoshop art print pretty quickly (about 30 seconds).  The ones with Illustrator art take much longer (about 1:30 seconds). They go through a flattening process. 
 
I print these 50 page books on demand and that additional time would add about an hour. 
 
I guess the question is whether this is normal and to be expected or not.  If it is I'll likely turn everything into raster before going into InDesign.  That, however, seems like quite a bit of extra work.  Going from AutoCad to Illustrator (to add stroke) then to PhotoShop to change to raster and then into InDesign seems like a pretty convoluted work flow.

Lightroom :: Moved Catalog And Now Won't Open It By Default?

Feb 15, 2013

I'm running LR2 (I know, first step, UPGRADE!), but in the meantime, I had to move my catalog because my drive got full. Under the Backup dialog box I chose the new location. But when I just click on the LR icon to open the program it opens with the default C: drive catalog location that it first installed with. Then I open the specific catalog from in the program and relaunch it. I have LR set to bring the dialog box everytime I start LR since I don't use it everyday. So I back it up when the dialog comes up and when it's done it goes right back to the default catalog with none of my library in there.  Why do I have to keep opening the catalog manually?

Lightroom :: File Is Not Moved To Selected Destination

Jul 30, 2010

Lightroom :: How To Relink Files Moved And Renamed Outside Of LR

Mar 20, 2013

When 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!)
 
LR 4.3
OSX 10.7.5
lots of ram

Lightroom :: Broken Collections Path Links On New Mac?

Dec 21, 2011

I moved from an XP based PC to a Mac Pro running Lion. I copied LRcat to the new location and all photo files.  Catalog opens and works fine in the Folders tab, but all of the Collections links are broken.  Each of the collections links are pointing to the old location on the pc:  C:usermy documentsphotoslightroom.... 
 
I have tried to right click on the collection folder and point it too the new location.  This seems to be processing the change, but results in loss of info in the old C: location and does not redirect the Mac collection to the right place.
 
Is there any way to fix this at the top level without having to delete and recreate all the collections?

Lightroom :: Folder Moved In The File Pane Is Disappeared?

Mar 26, 2013

I moved a folder in Lightroom in the file pane, in Library mode and now Lightroom thinks they are missing. I looked for them in Finder and they aren't were they were and they aren't where I moved them too. I can't figure out how they just disappeared into the ether. The pictures are on a network drive, but I've done this before and Lightroom had no problems whatsoever.

Lightroom :: Moved Files To New Hard Drive Where Is Catalogue?

Apr 1, 2012

I outgrew  my old harddrives and so moved them via Macs DiskUtility.  Of course, LR 4 doesn't know where they are.  I thought it would be a matter of pointing the old catalogue to the new hard drive, but that does not appear to be the case.  Do I need to start from scratch and build a brand new catalogue?

Lightroom :: Error - File Could Not Be Moved To Selected Location

Nov 8, 2013

I get an error code "file could not be moved to selected location" when trying to move an image or a folder from one hard drive to another within Lightroom.
 
I am migrating from a Windows-based PC to an iMac. I successfully used Lightroom to move all my images and catalogs from the PC hard file to a USB attached hard file.  I was able to go to the iMac and move the Lightroom Catalog from USB attached drive to the Apple Macintosh drive. I was able to bring up Lightroom with moved Lightroom Catalog and work with all of my images. Then using Lightroom I was unable to move the images to the Macintosh hard drive without getting the error code above.
