I can't find the Quick collection folder under my "Collections" box on the left side of my LR 4.4 program. I have Smart collections but I need to have that handy Quick Collection folder too. I am working on a PC with LR 4.4 64 bit version. Windows 7.
View 2 RepliesUsing Lightroom 5.2 on a Windows 7 PC. I used to see a grey icon in the upper right corner of an image on the filmstrip to show it has been selected as part of my quick collection. I could also click in the top right corner to add an image to the quick collection. Now no grey dot is visible and clicking in the top right corner does not add the image. My only option is to hit the B key to add. I suspect it is related to Flash. I have the latest version installed but in some cases when browsing in IE, I'm asked to install Flash even though it is installed and verified on the Adobe site.
View 1 Replies View RelatedRecently I have not been able to add photos to a quick collection when the marker is clicked. The marker fills in, but the photo does not appear in the quick collection. At the same time this problem occured, I could not remove photos from the quick collection that had been previously added. I had to remove those photos using the menu system. I upgraded to the new release of Lightroom 5 yesterday thinking that would solve the problem. I still have the problem so I am wondering if it is a setting I have missed. The quick collection marker button is checked in the view options and the button does appear and change when clicked... The photo thumbnail is just not added to the quick collection.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'd like to be able to setup an export preset that would save the selected photos to a subfolder within my export folder with the name of the subfolder automatically set to match the collection (or collection set) name. Is this possible? I have tried looking at the custom folder name options but couldn't quite
So, if my parent export folder is say c:PhotosExports and my collection name is 'Summer2012', I'd like for it to automatically export any photos in that collection to c:PhotosExportsSummer2012. Is this possible or do I need to set it manually each time?
Reason I'd like to automate this is say I'm in a rush to post up the pics, I might go ahead and export them without editing much and then manually cut and paste them from c:PhotosExports into a Summer2012 folder. If I later make edits to the photos, it'd be much handier to just use a preset export knowing that they would automatically update the files in the Summer2012 folder, rather than having to do another manual cut and paste every time, or manually select the folder if choosing the 'Choose folder later' option. Is there another way to do to what I'm looking for?
Is there a way to publish a mirrored copy of a collection including having all of the sub folder hierarchy intact? I am trying to start an account on SmugMug and I do not want to have to replicate all of my work on collections and smart collections for the publish section. I just want to publish exact copies of them to SmugMug. Why can't we just drag a collection into a published service?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI was hoping to define a tree of (smart) collections to match my folders tree, but coming up with a search criteria to match the folder path is proving difficult at best, impossible at worst.
Ultimately this smart collection criteria is bound for a plugin, but it's the same problem regardless of how ya do it...
Is there a way to have an image automatically go in to a smart collection when exporting to a specific folder? I have a folder on my desktop that I export every image I want to upload to flickr. I'd like very much for these to also be added to a smart collection.

View 3 Replies View RelatedHave just installed Windows LR4 trial, told it to Import files from my photo collection in a folder + subfolders on a network attached storage (NAS) unit. Windows Explorer tells me that there are 10,308 files in 408 folders in the main folder, totalling 38.8gb but on scanning the folder prior to import LR4 tells me that there are only 9,612 photos.
My photo collection folder contains only photos and no other file types.
Why is there this discrepancy ? I've searched around to see whether there is some hidden filter that is excluding certain photo files but cannot find anything of that nature.
I just moved several folders from a corporate shoot into a new folder, all done within latest version of LR4. One of the folders containing 1124 raw photos from a corporate shoot is now labeled as missing after an error message during the move (didn't write down the exact message). The folder and its pictures are nowhere to be found now! System-wide search comes up with no result. WHERE ARE MY PHOTOS?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have checked the invisible files rebuilt the desktop, restarted loaded a back up from different drive - photos are in place but the lightroom folder is gone.
Yet the drive in question space, has not changed still full. I'm loosing a lot of work two three full days between backups had added a lot of new material.
my main question is How can I free up the 86 gigs of space this 'missing folder' is still taking up..sucks I'm seroius never seen this before.,228000 images were organized in that folder I had done a lot of work and was having issues generating previews due to space on drive was clearing space opptimized then did a 'get info' on the lightroom master folder just moments before lightroom crashed for third time today. Poof entire master catalog folder gone. Main drive size exactly the same.Seems isolated to lightroom..all aspects of my mac are fine.
Is there a file limit, folder implosion feature? I'm current and purchased just to do this organization.
I was using the Add Parent Folder command in V3 and earlier and very likely in V4 too but when I wanted to use it in V4.2 it was not there and it is also missing in V4.4 after I upgraded. I am on Windows.

View 4 Replies View RelatedIf I specify a smart collection rule that says the source must be a collection matching some pattern, does this only apply to actual collections and exclude collection sets?
I was hoping fo a way to build a rule based on the collection set ... is this possible?
I also tried matching Any Searchable Text set to the collection set name, but that doesn't seem to work...wouldn't all photos in the collection set be associated with that string? Looks like no.
There used to be a way I thought that you could submit a new thread after doing a question search. That seems to be gone.
moved from PC to Mac by external hard drive. Remapped path to images. Everything is fine but when I do the folder sync command it shows me 100 % of my images as missing and the same amount as new files. There are no explanition marks in the tree view and this is the only indicator that something is wrong.
On the PC everything is fine. If I click on show file in finder for a picture finder opens with the correct file marked.
So I wonder whether I can trust that folder sync feature?
The metadata folder in the library module is missing in the right panel. It was present when I first purchased Lightroom 3 but has since disappeared from view, but don't know exactly when.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI just noticed that some of my photos are missing from the library in lightroom, specifically the original versions of photos that have virtual copies edited in photoshop in folders that have since been synchronized. Weird, and very anoying. The files are still there (in wondows explorer) but when I try to re-import them lightroom doesn't see them, only the PS edited copies (.tif files). I told lightroom to allow duplicates and it sees all the photos in the folder except those missing ones. This does not happen to my PS edited virtual copies in folders that have not been synchronized. It is not a matter of stacking, or at least Lightroom does not think the PS copies are stacked at all so I can't unstack them. How to get them back into lightroom (preferably with the accompanying development settings) and also how to avoid this problem in the future.
PS: I import files from my camcorder using a different program because lightroom does not acknowledge that particular video file format. That's why I have to synchronize some folders and not others.

I have downloaded ARCH 2011 (Student Version) several times and the Quick Access Toolbar does not appear above the ribbon. The ribbon tabs are also incomplete.
SHOWING ONLY - HOME, INSERT, ANNOTATE, VIEW and MANAGE.
How do I activate the Q. A. Toolbar? And why are my ribbon tabs incomplete?
I have configured a client workspace with a customised quick access toolbar and I am using acaddoc.lsp to ensure it is loaded when ACAD is fired up, the problem is, despite forcing the GUI to change wksps by:
(command "wscurrent" "Autocad classic")

(command "wscurrent" "Barclays Net 2012")
(princ)
I can see the swap happening but the quick access bar is missing. If I manually select the current wksp from the switching tool it appears I don't even need to change to a different wksp and on restart it remains visible, it is only occurring on first use.

View 3 Replies View RelatedWhen importing something off of a DVD or CD how do I direct Lightroom to copy the imported images or folder to a specific folder on my hard drive? It seems to default to MyCatalog but leaves the location on the CD rather than copying it to the drive. If I remove the CD the images is reported as missing.
