Lightroom :: Source Location When Moving Catalog To New Hdd

Aug 3, 2013

My main hdd was about to crash. i bought a new ssd drive. it isnt big enough to fit original os, programs and images. So I moved images from main hdd to an external hdd. I moved catalog to a new primary hdd with a fresh install. When I load the catalog, the images are missing. When I select locate and find target files, I think it's importing them back to the main hdd. Does it move the file or just change where it's pointing to the file. If it moves the file then I will run out of space again and defeat the purpose!!

Lightroom :: Moving Complete Catalog To Another Location On Mac?

Oct 1, 2013

For a while I've been using my Lightroom on my Mac on a folder inside my Google Drive folder. The reason for this is that I have an online backup as well my 2 external hard drive backups (you can NEVER have too many backups ).
 
However, Google Drive has proved to be a bigger let down than any Michael Bay movie out there, and I've now signed up to Copy. If you fancy creating a Copy account, you'll get 5Gb free on top of the 15Gb they so generously give you if you click on this link!
 
Anyway, my plan is to move my Catalog to another folder in my root drive, aptly titled “Copy”. So, I created a new folder within Lightroom, and went to move it, (whilst using the Lightroom interface) — so far I'm pretty sure this is the correct way, but I've attached a screenshot of the message that came up. This should be ok shouldn't it? I've attached screenshots of where I want to move it to, and the prompt that came up.

Lightroom :: Copy PNG File Into Source Folder And Import Into Catalog

Apr 1, 2013

I had copied a .PNG file into the source folder and wanted to import it into the Lightroom catalog.

However the import dialog does not show that file in the source folder at all.

I also tried the method of selecting the source folder and using the "Synchronize" option. But that did not show the .PNG file either.

My clumsy work-around was to open the file in CS6 and save it as a .JPG file.

So my question: how can I tell Lightroom which file types (extensions) I want to be able to import?

Lightroom :: Moving Pictures To A New Location

Feb 1, 2014

I just purchased Lightroom 5 to replace Lightroom 3. I assumed that all settings would be carried into Lightroom 5, so I imported some new pictures wiothout checking the destination. They are now in the Lightroom Catalog, but not where the remainder of my pictures are. Is there a way that I can move them to the desired location?

Lightroom :: Location To Copy Backup LR4 Catalog

Mar 9, 2013

I  have a brand new ASUS notebook Win 8 64 bit.
 
LR4.3 installed to the C: drive (default installation). I am now copying from my external drive all photos to the larger D: data drive.
 
Of course, I have the very latest catalog backed up to multiple places. The old laptop (Windows 7) was just a single C: drive instead of the two drives I now have.
 
2 Q: 1) To what location do I copy that backup LR4 catalog?
 
       2)  As I remember from some years ago, I also need to double-click on that LR4 catalog once it's in the proper place. Is that right?

Lightroom :: Catalog Pointing To Incorrect Location?

Mar 29, 2014

I have one Lightroom catalog and i use 2 external drives that I work with. I've assigned fixed drive letters to both E: and F: I've recently upgraded to an SSD - cloned my entire HDD but now Lightroom shows the content on the 2 external drives swithced around. The folders that are physically on drive E: show as if they shoud be on F: but with the missing icon next to them. And vice versa, the ones that are on F: show as if they should be on E: with missing icon.

Lightroom :: Recognize The New Location Of Copied Master Catalog?

Mar 17, 2014

I just cloned my hard disk (named PI)  to a new one  named TAU. Now they both contain my enormous catalog of 800 GB of Lightroom catalog and files.
 
I removed my initial hard disk PI and put it in a safe location (just saying this so you know I have a backup)
 
I start Lightroom 5 and open the ircat file on TAU but all the pictures have an ! meaning they are missing (but the pictures are all there).  How do I get Lightroom to recognize the new location?
 
In my catalog settings the path correctly points to the new hard drive and the folder where the photos and catalog are located, however within the application there is no way to navigate among the files and folders of my collection as there was before.

Lightroom :: 4.3 Won't Add To Catalog Without Moving

Dec 28, 2012

I'm trying to import the images from a CF card to Lightroom 4.3 however the only options available to me are Copy as DNG or Copy....Move and Add are dark grayed out and I cannot select them.  I do notice when I go to the Import module, the Add selector is white for a few moments and then it goes to black. 

I'm running:

MacBook Pro Mac OX 10.6.8 
Trial version of LR 4.3. 
CF card is coming as .NEF from a Nikon D800. 
 
I have done this before, regularly, it seems that with this update it is not possible.  I'm not interested in importing because HDD space is limited AND I don't use this computer for editing/file management.  The imports go to a drive array in another location.  I don't want to be to overly emphatic about this, but I'm not interested in importing to the HDD on the MacBook Pro.BTW, I have tested it and it does import just fine into the catalog to the HDD. 
 
Below is a screen shot of my catalog import options.  I've looked for ways to change the settings but even setting it to Copy back to the card itself does not allow me to Move or Add Without Moving.  Only Copy in two different formats is available.

Lightroom :: Moving Location Of RAW Files - Maintaining Edits?

May 8, 2013

I have quite a large amount of original raw files that I need to move off the internal hard drive. I now have 2 external drives that mirror each other for storing the files more securely, and have already copied all the raw files (quite a long process) over. I tried to setup a new catalog for the new workflow, not thinking that Lightroom doesn't mess with the original files, and have lost all my edits. I still have the original catalog and all the raw files still on my internal HD, but what I need to know is how to move it over and keep the edits? Do I really have to redo everything in lighroom directly?

Photoshop Elements :: Catalog Changed The File Location Of All Pictures To Location On Backup Drive

Jul 6, 2013

Photoshop Elements 6 (20070910.r.377499)
 
I do not know why the catalog has changed the file location of "ALL" pictures to the location on my backup drive.

Example: K:My DocumentsMy PicturesPetsPICT1460-1.JPG

The actual location of the original photo is:  D:My DocumentsMy PicturesPetsPICT1460-1.JPG
 
The location of "My Pictures" is on my primary Hard Drive D:My DocumentsMy Pictures
 
Why is Photoshop changing all of my 37,000+ photo thumbnails to point to my Backup Drive K:?
 
I need to correct the catalog file. How do I make the correction and stop it from happening in the future?

Lightroom :: Moving Catalog To A New Computer

Jun 7, 2012

I recently purchased a new computer, and I need to transfer my existing Lightroom (3.6) catalog to the new machine.  I have installed Lightroom on the new machine, and have updated it to the same version as on the old machine.  All my images are on an external drive that I can move to the new computer. 
 
Can I simply export the existing catalog, move the hard drive, and import the catalog into the new instance of Lightroom on the new computer?  Obviously, I want to retain al the keywords, develop adjustments, etc., that I had in the original catalog.

Lightroom :: Moving Catalog From 1 Computer To Another?

Nov 15, 2011

I have a separate catalog of photos from a recent trip on my laptop (don't ask why I created a 2nd catalog - won't do that again). I want to transfer them to our desktop, which is a mac (the laptop is pc). Following instructions in a tim grey email, I used "export catalog" to transfer to an external hard drive, with intent to then import to the mac. I did check for it to export negative files. It took forever, but froze partway through the process. So I created a new folder to export into, and tried it again. It got much further that time but froze again. When I use lightroom to access the files that did transfer, I find the folders labelled as they are on the laptop, but when I open them, the application says, "no items match your search", although it does indicate there are i.e. 47 MG in the file. I can use picasa to view the files, both the jpeg's and the raw files, so they're in there.

Lightroom :: Moving A Catalog To A Faster Drive?

Jul 11, 2012

I currently have my main catalog 'gwcat-2-2.lrcat'  in what I think is the default directory of ":..D:UsersGeorgePicturesLightroom".  I would like to move it to a faster drive.  Should I move JUST the lrcat file, or is moving the gwcat-2-2 Previews.lrdata required? 
 
There is a LOT of stuff in lrdata! and would take a long time to move.  I've always been a bit confused by the difference between "Previews.lrdatafa" and the cache directory (I already have the cache directory on SSD).  --If you go by just the definition of terms, it seems like a distinction without a difference.

Lightroom :: Moving Photos And Catalog To New Computer?

Nov 1, 2013

I have a Mac Pro and just bought an iMac.
 
On my Mac Pro, the LR catalog is on the boot drive. The photos are on a separate internal drive.
 
My plan is to copy both the photos and the LR catalog to the 3 TB Fusion drive of the iMac.
 
Would I then just double-click on the catalog to open it, and use this process to "reconnect" the missing photo files?

Photoshop Elements :: Moving PSE8 Catalog To Lightroom?

Nov 11, 2012

I have used Elements 8 for many years to organize my thousands of photos.  I know where the catalog file lives on my laptop and it has an extension of .pse8db.
 
I would now like to use that same catalog file as I move to use Lightroom so that I don't lose all that data.
 
I believe that now it needs to be .lrcat.
 
What process do I need to follow in order to upgrade my catalog from Elements 8 to Lightroom?

Lightroom :: Moving Entire Catalog To Bigger External Drive?

Jun 29, 2013

A friend just had major problems moving his v3 files. He had one top folder for all Lightroom. He keeps his catalog and photos on an external and now needs to increase the capacity of the external. So he copied them over in Windows with the entire Lightroom folder remaining intact, and reassigned the old drive letter to the new external hard drive, so the path to all photos is preserved.
 
However, everyhting shows up Missing. "Find this folder" doesn't work. You navigate to the new location but it's not clear what exactly you "do" to relink. Clicking the name of the lost folder in the resulting dialog box (new-but-named-the-same-as-old-drive) didn't cange anthong back at the Library display of that folder. I know I -- myself -- will be moving to a new internal drive from the one currently storing my photos in the near future. So his problem is relavant to the hassle i can expect.

Lightroom :: Major Catalog With Wrong Capture Dates After Moving Files On Import

Jul 26, 2013

I had a decently organized folder structure with all photos from about 2005 on being organized by year (moved to their corresponding year folder on import from memory card). 
 
However i had about 10,000 or so photos which were placed randomly in folders and sub folders from various backup/restores etc, which were imported into lightroom but not moved into their corresponding year folders. 
 
I just purchased LR5 and i wanted to finally take the time to organize my file folder structure and create a new catalog.  Following a method i researched found here: [URL]....
 
Here is what i did:
 
1)  In Lightroom 4 i highlighted All Photos and saved metadata to file for every photo. (thinking this would keep all original metadata and any adjustments i made on the files)
 
2)  Fired up lightroom 5 and started a new catalog.  I then proceeded to import folders from my photo file folder and use the Import and Move option which imported and moved the files into the folders by year.
 
3)  This seemed to work well but it seems i wound up with lots of duplicates (the older photos i had often had filename1.jpg and filename1-2.jpg which were often a cropped dupe) which was not a big deal and still ok so far.
 
4)  I really liked the ability to click on the Year folder in the library and see all the photos for that year but i noticed that TONS of photos were missing within each year.
 
It turns out that a TON of photos which were in one of their own folders (not by year) folder were moved to 2013 folder and the original capture date had been re-written as 7-24-13 (the import date) overwriting what it was originally there and ruining my organization!
 
My catalog is a mess, all the files have been moved to a year folder and alot of the years are just plain wrong.  I don't want to sort through my entire collection (48,000 photos) and find miss-labeled dates and out of place files!
 
what can i do to restore the original capture date and put my collection back in the proper order?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Data Shortcut Source Drawing Location

Aug 3, 2012

I have a 2011 Civil3D drawing with Data shortcuts in it.  I need to replace the source drawing path of the data shortcut with another path.  Is there a way to change this either manually or, preferably, programically. At some point we'll need to batch through the drawings and change this path information.  Is this information is stored in a drawing dictionary somewhere? If so, where?  If not, where?

Updating the .XML data files doesn't appear to affect data links already in the drawing.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Tool Palettes - Change Source File Location?

Oct 14, 2013

Due to circumstances beyond my control the directory path that my tool palettes are mapped to needs to be changed.

From:    T:Toolpalettesetc...

To:        X:Toolpalettesetc...

I have hundreds of blocks in the tool palettes that are looking for their source file on the "T" drive.

My brain says "Find / Replace T: with X: " using Notepad in all of the ATC files.

Is there a better method to tell those blocks to look on the "X" drive?

Maya Modeling :: Moving Source Curve Of Extruded NURBS Object?

Nov 21, 2010

I'm rigging a model of a robot and I have wires (nurbs circles extruded along a curve) attaching to two objects that are on different joints. I have it rigged so that when the first joint moves, half of the CVs of all the wires (in a control cluster) move along with the joint (and, in turn, the object they are attached to). This much works fine, the extruded nurb follows the curve and stays the same diameter from start to finish. My problem starts with the rigging of the second joint (the second joint is the parent of the first joint). I've tried many different ways of rigging it, but as I'm only just starting rigging my thought process isn't quite a straight line yet. Basically my problem is when the source curves physically move, the extruded surface goes twice the distance as displayed in the picture below.

I need to know how to get the extruded surface to always be in the same place as the curve with out breaking the connection.
