Lightroom :: Can't See Folders When Importing

Feb 2, 2014

When I go to the import dialog in Lightroom 5.3 and I select one of my 3 networked hard drives (hosted on a Mac) I can only see the directory structure of one of my drives in lightroom my Y: Drive (for videos) shows up properly, but when I select the X: drive (for Photos) it doesnt show any folders. When i use windows explorer I can see the structure just fine. I have tried selectring. include subfolders.. makes no difference
 
I cant also see in the destination, area the folder listing
 
why cant it see the folders? all three network drives are formated the same way, hosted on the same machine
 
If i click on the arrow button point right and select other source I can navigate in the popup window to the proper drive / folder but why wont it should up in this winddow

Lightroom :: 2.7 - Importing Folders From XP To New Windows 7 Computer

Apr 24, 2012

Have just migrated to new PC (Ver 7) from an CP machine.  LR 2.7 is loaded on the new machine and I have a folder called Photo Universe that contains 15,000+ photos with keywords, modifications, etc.  Quustion is how to import the existing folders and photos so that my previous keywords, configurations and settings carry over as well.
 
I tried "Selecting All" sub folders, but that didn't work.  I guess I'm hoping and looking for a silver bullet.  On the other hand, I'll do whatever it takes to make this happen.

Lightroom :: Removing Unsupported Files After Importing Folders?

Dec 23, 2012

I have lots of folders on my Mac that have been imported into LR, however, there are lots of files inside these folders that LR does not support like .png files so they never were imported. If I go into all of these folders and remove the files  that LR doesnt like, Will it cause a problem since the folders have already been imported?

Photoshop Elements :: Importing Folders And Sub Folders Into PSE 12 Organizer

Nov 12, 2013

Is there a way to have the organizer folders set up the same was as Windows Explorer? I have a main folder called Family with sub folders for all the years and in each of the subfolders there could be other subfolders.  It wouldn't allow me to click on main folder and get all sub folders.  I had to open main folder and then it shows all folders and sub folders separately.  They are no longer nested.
 
Along the same lines, I wanted to create an album of Family with all subfolders, but that doesn't work.that is definitely a short coming which is why I never have used the organizer program, but just PSE for editing.

Lightroom :: Change Location For Auto-folders Created When Importing Photos

Dec 13, 2011

I'm experiencing a bit of an organization problem with Lightroom 3 which is probably rather easy to fix, but I just can't seen ti figure out how. When I import photos in Lightroom it automatically creates folders (2011-12-14 for example) and I would like to change the location on my computer for these folders, but I can't find where to do it. It now creates these folders in my regular Pictures folder which gets really messy due to this. How can I change this? And how do I relocate all the excisting folders on my laptop, without having to find all the missing photos afterwards.

Lightroom :: Sync LR4 Photo Folders With Explore Folders That Has Been Renamed

Jan 24, 2013

I renamed a lot of my photo folders in Explore. Now in LR4, all these folders appears with an ?. I can't work on pictures from these folders - I get the message: File named xxx is offline or missing. It does not sync the parent folder. Nor does it sync the folder it self. If I right clik on a LR4 folder with a ?, and try to locate the folder, I only get the option to merge the identical folders. Is there any way to sort this. I can't restore the old folder names.

Lightroom :: Restore Missing Sub-folders Into Folders Panel

Dec 10, 2011

I am using LR3. I appear to be digging a massive hole for myself trying to sort out the catalog. When I first got LR, I had initially added just a small number of files just to see how LR worked. At this time I was still completing sorting out my full photo collection in 'my pictures' which were also copied to two external hard drives. Once that work was completed, I imported a complete folder (some 4000 images) into LR. The folder/subfolders appeared in the folders panel but the sub folders I had initially imported were displayed with a ? and a message 'file is missing or offline' Going down the road of 'find missing folder' eventually led to my problems.
 
About 6 sub folders are involved so I eventually took the decision that it could be easier just to remove them so I could then re-import them from 'my pictures'. That hasn't worked out as planned.   When I go into 'file' to import photos from 'my pictures' the missing sub folders are there but the images are 'greyed' as well as the import button. When I put the cursor onto one of the greyed-out images the message 'appears to be a duplicate of another photo already in catalog' appears.
 
how I can restore the 'missing' sub folders into the folders panel.

Photoshop Elements :: Importing Folders Into 11?

Mar 25, 2013

I've had Elements 11 for some time and can't use it as I can't seem to find a way to import an existing folder structure of images. It imports it flat, with every subfolder and parent folder listed on the same level, so my organisation is shot to hell. I'm sure it's me being dumb, (but in fact it's Elements being incredibly un-intuitive) but how to import an existing folder structure with many images, retaining the structure after import? Actually thinking about it, I can barely remember how to import at all, I found it quite difficult to achieve and I think I might have drag and dropped some files?

Photoshop Elements :: Importing Images From Folders

Apr 6, 2013

I tired importing photos from one folder and about 300-400 of them weren't imported (out of about 1,000).  I deleted them and tried again. Same thing.  On the third try it imported all of them.My thought was maybe it's going to take more time importing images from my folders than learning to use the program.  I can't learn the program if it keeps dropping images.  I tried another directory of about 3,000 images but it only accepted about 300 of them.  No matter how many times I tried, it would only import 300 out of the whole batch.  These are good jpg files that all my other programs have no trouble with.

As I right click to rename a folder in the library folder panel, I get a window saying 'This is not a legal folder name.  Certain special characters are not permitted.'  As an example, I have a name followed with a date such as 120926 james bond  and I want to reverse the name and date to james bond 120926.  There are no special characters in there.

Do I now drag all of the folders from one drive to the other using Explorer, and the ask LR to find and re-link the remaining 75%?

Images and folders added in LR5 are showing up separate from those in LR4. The drive appears twice, with the folders added before the upgrade and now with the folders added since. If I do "show in finder" it knows they are in the same drive location.

Lightroom :: 3.6 Not Showing New Folders

Dec 29, 2011

I'm having a new problem after installing LR 3.6 update on my Mac running OSX Lion 10.7.2.
 
When importing a new batch of photos, the folder containing those new photos is not listed on the left-hand side "Folders" tab where they should be. The photos exist in my catalog, and work fine. I can search for them by date, and they are indeed on my hard drive in the correct folder. LR just isn't showing the folder. I've tried importing a number of ways, including Moving the photos, Copying them, or simply Adding them with similar results. I can create new folders using "Create Folder inside..." just fine, and that folder remains perfectly useable. When I try to create a new folder in LR named the same as one of the invisible folders, it says that folder name is already taken. This happens on local drives and external drives.
 
I've tried repairing permissions on my local disk, and verifying the external drives in Disk Utility. I could solve this manually, and create the folders myself in a series of re-names and file moving. But this is not a good workflow for me. I'm hoping this is a temporary bug with the new release.

Lightroom :: Missing Whole Folders In 4?

Jan 14, 2013

I add my photos to folders in LR4.2 and name the folders by the date the photos were taken.  Often times I will at a later time discover that a whole date has gone missing from my LR catalog list of folders.  I never see question marks.  So I re-add the photos again to the same date.  I have had to do this more than once on the same folders. I use windows 7.

Lightroom :: How To Get A Result Set Of Folders

Sep 27, 2012

New to Lightroom.

I have imported my existing folder structure to catalog.

My current folder names contain when, where, what & who information. I created a couple of smart collections, but all I get are images. How do I get a result set of folders? Easy example is 'wedding'. I need a list of WEDDING EVENTS, not 20,000+ wedding images that have no meaning when shown together. I assume this must be easy, but have already spent way too long trying to figure out how!
