Lightroom :: Transferring Collections Between Catalogs?

Mar 29, 2014

Some old jpgs Lighroom suddenly started to report as unreadable, if I open them in another program they are not unreadable. Tried an optimimize catalog with no luck. Tried to start with a new catalog and import all the pictures again. That went fine, now I can read the pictures that earlier were reported unreadable. The problem is that I do not have my collections from the old catalog.
 
How do I get them to the new catalog?
 
Or: How can I make the pictures readable for Lightroom in the old catalog?

Lightroom :: Collections Not Showing Up After Combining Catalogs

Feb 11, 2014

I combined 5  Lightroom Catalogs into one by using the 'import from another catalog' under the file menu. Now instead of having senior, family, wedding and children catalogs I have one. However, not all of the collections made it. All of the photos made it but collections are what I really work from once I have the photos imported.  I still have the old catalogs that show all of the collections but they do not appear in the combined one. How can I get the rest of the photos to show up in the collections area of the combined catalog?

Lightroom :: Full Collections Export / Import To Synchronize Definition In Different Catalogs

Aug 31, 2012

I believe that only exporting the smart collection settings is not enough. I have in my collections a hierarchy of collection set, collection and smart collection that works with my workflow:
 
-special [CS]
-- pano [SC]
-- fuse [SC]
-themes
-- holiday... [SC]
-- ...
- worklist [CS]
-- dominant color [CS]
--- dominant color to review [SC]
--- dominant color reviewed [C]
-- weather [CS]
etc.
-- geography [CS]
etc.
 
Being able to export the hierarchy from one specific node would be great when I switch from catalog to catalog. After all, smart collections content can be re-created.
 
I've seen that in the DB, there are these two tables that would need to be 'copied' : agLibraryCollection & agLibraryCollectionContent. Their IDs when importing in the new catalog would probably pose a problem if we were just to import them like that.

On the other hand, there are in the SDK some functions to go through the collections and some functions to create collections, collection-sets, smartCollections...
 
Would it be difficult to include such a functionality in a future release ?Would it be difficult or possible to write in the mean time a plugin that would do just that: import/export collection hierarchies ?

Lightroom :: How To Transfer Photos / Catalog And Collections From MAC To PC

Jan 11, 2013

I recently purchased a new PC.  I installed LR 4 on the new PC.  I tried to transfer all my pics from my MAC to the PC.  When I open up LR4 on the PC all I see are grayed out boxes where my pictures should be with a question mark in the top left.  When I click on the question mark it say original file cant be located. 
 
I would like to transfer my entire database from the MAC to the PC but cant figure out how to transfer it all.

Lightroom :: Missing Catalogs And Editing History On Transfer From PC To Mac?

Jul 17, 2012

I know there was a recent issue on this, but I have the same problem but it seems not the same solution. I've transferred from PC to Mac, installed LR4, copied across my catalogue and preview files. I've imported my images (though should I have needed to do this if the catalog and preview were already there?) from the NAS where they live. The images are there, my keywords are there, but not the editing history and collections, which I really need.

Lightroom :: Smart Collections - Different From 3.4 And 5.3?

Jan 9, 2014

I used to be able to select a folder (say, all images in 2013) and then control click a smart collection I had created (rated > 1 star) and that would filter my images from 2013 and only display the ones that were rated higher then one star.
 
I cannot seem to get this to work in 5.3 (win7 pc fwiw).  When I do this, it shows images that aren't from 2013 (the folder I selected). 
 
To be clear, I expect to see images from 2013 that are rated > 1 star.  If I select a folder with a single unrated image and then control click a "> 1 star" smart collection, it shows the image still.  It doesn't seem to filter, it's showing both the contents of the smart collection and my one image.

Lightroom :: Can't Edit Collections In 3.6

Jun 21, 2013

After deleting a Smart Collection in Lightroom 3.6, the option to Edit Collection that was previously in the context menu is gone.  Double-clicking the Collection Name will not bring up the Edit Dialog either.  I tried removing the preferences and letting Lightroom create a new one but that didn't fix it either.  Not sure what else to try.

Lightroom :: How To Re-create Same Collections In New Catalog

Aug 16, 2012

I recently converted all of my pictures to a new format.  I want to make a new catalog, identical to the old one, with the new pictures.  I imported everything, but I don't know what to do about collections and smugmug folders.  I still have the old catalog, and all of the old pictures.  But I need to reupload all of the new pictures to my smugmug site, same as before.  So, I need to recreate every collection and add the new pictures like they were before.  Is there a faster way to do this?  Can I use my old catalog to somehow recreate the collections?  I still have the old catalog, and all of the old pictures.  All of the filenames of new and old pictures are identical.  I also have a few collections that I would prefer not to manually recreate.

Lightroom :: Exporting Pictures - All Collections Are Gone

Apr 18, 2013

I had a catalogue with 4 or 5 collections filled with pictures in each with stars and color filters. I just went to go open my collections to export the pictures and all my collections are gone and I did not click any thing to reset or delete anything. Only a small portion of the pictures have a star rating but none of them have a color filter.

Lightroom :: No Filters Working On Collections

Jul 6, 2012

I've read a few similiar discussion threads but none match exactly my prob.I have a collection (within a collection set) of items which have mixed photos that are flagged as picked and/or rated as 2 or 3 stars.
 
Invoking filters while in the collection - either flagged items or items >+ 2* don't work - it's not just flagged or rated items - no filtering seems to work on my collection.
 
Lots of other unusual behavior in collections that I can't detail right now, but something is defintely wrong.

Lightroom :: How To Recover Missing Collections

Dec 12, 2012

After my trial version of LR4 expired I have had a few problems with LR3.The problem now is that it seems the Collections I created while using LR4 trial version are not listed in the LR3 collection panel. As of yet I'm not sure that those are the only collections that are missing. I do have LR backed up (every time I shut down LR) but I don't know how to go about importing the collections or where to find them. I don't see "Collections" in the backup folder.

Lightroom :: 4 - Lost Collections And Photos

Sep 10, 2013

I've had LR for 18 months and been unwell recently so not used it for 3-4 months. I've been importing photos etc. Anyway,  on the left hand navigation pane there was always my photos (which I imported and were stored on my hard drive) and also collections. Easy access. These have all disappeared! I'm in a panic and have been searching for hours and hours. The left hand pane now has snapshot, history, presets etc OR cataloug and collections, but none of mine are there. have i mis hit something OR have they gone for some reason?
