having backed up my pictures, I usually used "search for missing directory" in the library, browsed to the new drive, chose the directory, and finished.
What's new is, that I can't browse to my harddrives anymore in the dialogue. Only "Desktop" and my username show up, nothing else!
How can I get my pictures back to Lr? Using Lr 3.6
I merged two databases and renamed the merged database. I renamed both the Ircat file and the Previews file. The database opens and displays correctly with my history displayed in the Develop module. However when I close Lightroom with the Backup option, the backup directory is not created.I have Lightroom 5 installed on a Windows 7 desktop computer.

While in Library mode, when I choose a library search filter preset, say all 5 stars, and then toggle the filter off and on again, the search criteria randomizes to something wildly different than what I was just searching for, for example, adding text and metadata to the search queries when I only had star attributes selected a few seconds before.
I've experimented with turning the filter lock icon on and off and that seems to have no effect. Switching between folders in my catalog and toggling search off and on, results in the same random search criteria being generated.
Lightroom 4.2 – the situation is this, I have a number of pictures of group shots with many people. I tag each person in each photo. I show my photos to these people and they would like a print of photos with them in it. I am an amature photographer currently located in India where most people have no cameras, so I normally oblige if someone wants my of them pictures printed. On one such occasion I took a week long trip with some friends.After showing them the pictures I tagged “Print for Raju”, “Print for Priya”, “Print for Varun”. The problem arises now when I try to search keywords in the “contains all” section, “print for varun” doesn’t do an exact search. Rather if Raju wanted a picture of Varun printed, that picture would have the tag “Varun” and “print for Raju” and which would make the photo included in my search “print for varun” even if varun doesn’t want the picture.
Is there a way to search EXACTLY what I type? If my picture has 15 tags, “contains all” will search all those tags and if it can piece together the three words I am searching for out of all of the tags, it will reveal results inconsistent with my desires.I realize now that I could use collections instead of tags for compiling pictures to print for people.

I created a saved search with the criteria Person include "mother". The problem now is that also pictures are shown with my mother and other persons.

I have Lightroom 3.6. I also have a lot of images. So I got a READYNAS RNDU4000 disk array (RAID) with 4 disks each of 2 TB. My computer is running Windows XP Professional SP3. It mounts the RAID array as a network drive just fine. Now suppose I have some new images. I make a new folder on the RAID array, lets say it is called "WildAnimalPark" and copy the images in there. I start up Lightroom, and choose Import Files, and point it at WildAniamalPark, and it imports the images just fine, and lets me make adjustments. (The Lightroom catalog is in my F drive, a hard drive on my computer.) Now I want to export smaller jpegs suitable for web or e-mail. So I go to File->Export. I tell it to export the images to "Same folder as original photo", and check "Put in Subfolder" and name the subfolder "email". Farther down I ask for the images to be scaled to 800 pixels on the long edge and to limit the file size to 125K. (I doubt these details matter.) When I click "export", it appears like it is going to work. You can see the progress bar move across as it makes the files. But then I get an dialog box that says, "Some export operations were not performed. The file could not be written," followed by a list of off the files it should have written. When I look it the original directory, I see that it has created the subfolder "email" (so it really can write to the RAID array), but it is empty.
I should add that it works perfectly if I put the directory on a local hard drive.
I like LR4, the best are the RGB curves :-)
But there are some little things which would make the handling a lot better:
1) Import Dialog
If I want to import a directory from the harddrive and I navigate to it using the dialog it will start scanning the whole drive including subfolders for images. That locks up the application so I can either wait for 15 minutes or use the task manager to close it.
I found no way to enable/disable the setting "include subfolders" from case to case.
2) Import Dialog
The setting "handle JPEG with RAW" is burried in the general property dialog, but it should be part of the import dialog - logically.
3) Import Dialog
I would like to sort by file TYPE - this way I can easily select the RAWs only, and only pick the JPPE I really like.
4) Library View
There are all sorts for X:Y and Y:X zoom setting, but no setting to view the images at a certain output size. How am I supposed to check images if they are ok to be printed ok at 10 x 16 '' for example if my images have a different size?
I dearly miss a possibilty to view at a certain dpi rate, or certain pixel width or inch or cm - the pixel based 1:x zoom rates look a bit dated and not of practical use.
5) Automatic stacks
There is a function to create stacks by time, but not by filename. It would be so practical to stack RAW and JPEG if that would be possible.
6) Print Module
How can I select´the page size in the otherwise very useful print module?
Esspecially when I need to create JPEG - I want to set a desired size.
I am using Lightroom 4.3 on Mac OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.1).
I am unable to import files from an NFS-mounted directory because the folders lack rocker nodes, so I can't navigate through the tree to my existing Photos directory. It isn't practical or desirable to import the entire NFS filesystem.
I originally had the filesystem mounted with these options:
freenas:/mnt/vol_home/nfs_home on /Volumes/home (nfs, nodev, nosuid, automounted, nobrowse)
And while I can see the root of the filesystem in the left side of the import window, and while the directories have little folder icons next to them, the little triangular rockers next to them are greyed out. If I picked a directory, and checked "include subfolders", then Lightroom would recurse through the tree and show me all of the pictures. But I don't want to import my entire filesystem. I need to navigate down the tree to my photo directory, but the rockers are "greyed out". It's difficult to see them greyed out when the background is grey too, but they are there, faint as they are.
So, I thought maybe the "nobrowse" option had something to do with the inability to navigate. I used "NFS Utility" to remove the "nobrowse"option, and remounted the filesystem. It is now mounted with these options:
freenas:/mnt/vol_home/nfs_home on /Volumes/home (nfs, nodev, nosuid, noatime)
And while I can see the root of the filesystem in the left side of the import window, and while the directories have little folder icons next to them, [most of] the rockers next to them are still greyed out. Here is a screenshot of the import window, alongside a Finder window, which of course lets me open the rockers and navigate just fine. The fact that Finder works implies to me that it isn't a permissions problem. Of course I can also "cd" using the terminal commandline. The navigation problem appears to be limited to the Lightroom application.
only the "rbrown" folder has a working rocker. The other rockers are greyed out (which is really difficult to see). I need to navigate below "rbrown", but cannot. Finder can open the "family" rocker, and can open the subfolders under "rbrown" just fine.
Why does lightroom refuse to let me open these folders?
I keep recreating my directory tree to fix this, but LR keeps recreating a folder with the same name as my import folder. So imagine my overall structure is:
Mac Hard Drive
LR Photos
Many folders, including ...
Imports
---
LR will create a new directory reference at the top of the list of directories, in lowercase. So at the top of the directory list, you'll see, after an import ...
lr photos (note lowercase)
Imports
I'm attaching a screenshot ... (with lots of folder names deleted obviously)
It seems like it's related to the import process, but i never manually type or change during imports -- i leave it alone, and yet it makes this new lowercase reference. (it does not actually create new folders on the hard drive.)
We are attempting to run Lightroom in our photo journalism classes and we are unable to setup the application because it will not create the Catalog file.
All of the users in Open Directory have their OSX 10.8 home folder stored on our Apple Server. This enabled them to log into any of the computers in the lab and have access to their data/documents.
Lightroom refuses to create the Catalog file because it treats the home folder as a network folder.
My predecessor found some way around this in the past but he didn't document it and I can't find any evidence of it either.
Surely there are other people out there trying to use Adobe Products who also utilize Apple's "Open Directory" (its like apple's version of Active Directory).
Is it possible to change the default import directory from "My Pictures" to a different directory? It gets tedious to have to specify the directory I want to use every single time I import and I have not found a way to make this change sticky.
That seems like it should be a preference but I can find no way to make this change.
Using Lightroom 3 - I am importing photos into folders and subfolders with titles created in the destination panel -
the titles display in the destination panel as well as in the hard drive root directory under pictures - Lightroom - my Lightroom photos - title of folder of subfolder etc. as expected.
-however-
After the photos are imported and I go back into the library to review them - clicking on Macintosh HD (I am using OS X version 10.7.3) reveals only dates the photos were taken and no root directory folder or subfolder titles. Using catalog I can see that all of the photos have been imported into the library.

View 11 Replies View RelatedUsing an external Raid0 drive for the working files directory with LR3+ and Windows 7 64? The raw files are mainly from a Canon 5D2 making them in excess of 20Meg after conversion to dng.
My workflow means files are moved over to other drives within a week or so and will be backed up from the external RAID daily as well but this isn't about backup but rather a fast and flexible system that allows me to work on the files on several different PCs easily.
My system:
- AMD 6 core CPU
- 8GB Ram

LR4 takes 10 minutes or more to import 3 pictures. Importing these pictures in LR3 takes a few seconds.I did some checks: Using a new catalog (and not the converted one) and importing a sub folder of my picture directory has no effect. It takes also very long.
Importing a sub folder without videos is fast! But even if the videos are already imported (because of using the LR3 converted catalog), when adding new pictures to a subfolder it takes again 10 minutes. Importing videos in a fresh catalog does not work at all (they are only available if you convert the LR3 catalog) (Canon Powershot Ixus S95)
I have also a problem with playing (the LR3 catalog converted) videos. The video control bar does not react. After some minutes there is an error message that there was an error trying to work with the picture.
I have created a hodge podge of directories with images in various locations. I want to re-organize all my images into the single location and organization in a logical directory structure. Now for my question. Would I be better off moving all my files into the new directory structure then create a new master catalog then import into the new catalog? I am wanting to develop and use import templates to better organize and document my images... btw, I am not opposed to upgrading v3 if this will make things easier... just haven't had a need as yet.

Sometimes a client will email me a proof or low res photo of mine asking for a high res version, without the original filename, and sometimes they take a screenshot so my metadata is missing (so can't look up by date, etc).

Inside Lightroom the photos (Library Grid view) are marked with an exclamation mark in the upper right corner.
Is there a way in Lightroom to search for all files which have such corruption problems? It is a rather large library to scroll through manually.
