Create new Collection by simply dragging a "Folder" into "Collections"

Ability to create new Collection by simply dragging a "Folder" into "Collections". Currently the collection name has to be created manually and files dragged into it.
Note: Collections are important because this is the only way you can have "virtual copies" separated into different folders. For example I wanted to have set of virtual B&W images in its own folder (and the original color images in a different folder). You could only do this in "Collections". "Folders" does not allow you to separate a virtual copy from its original (because the virt copy is not really a file).

Thanks Sean, Good analogy! I'll have to give your method a try.
However, I'm finding that in LR1.0 I'll probably need to create a "Collection" of almost all my "Folders" (past and future) because of the ability to have virtual copies separated into sub collections. To do so, even in the way you describe, seems to require too much typing. It would be nice to be able to simply drag folders (which I've already gone to the trouble of naming) into a Collection and have it keep the name. In Beta 4 you only had "Shoots" to deal with, hence it wasn't an issue. Now you have "Folders" and "Collections". That in itself is a little confusing; but I understand why it was done (i.e. the "why no folders?" complaints of beta testers).
Speaking of not liking to type; I've already typed too much here... : )

  • Creating new "Collection Set" deselects everything for no reason.

    In Library mode: Creating new Collection Set performs "Select none" (changes source) for no reason.  A new set cannot contain photos (until it has a collection) so there is no reason to change source to it yet.  It is behaving as if it were a new collection.  I often select photos first, then decide whether they need to be in a collection.  If I need to first create a set for it --I lose the selection before I can place them.
    Is this "as designed" and am I overlooking something?

    If Verizon sent you an STB, it should have been delivered via a delivery service (they use UPS around here). Included in the paperwork should have been a return label that would allow you to drop it off at any UPS store, and the return shipping would be free.
    If I were you, I would keep whichever STB and remote look to be in better condition, pack up the other one with any accessories they demand to have returned, and drop it off at whichever service delivered it. Make sure to get and keep some kind of confirmation number that the delivery service has received the box. Though I've never had any problems myself, I've heard a few horror stories about Verizon claiming to have never received the returned merchandise and trying to charge the customer for it. Better safe than sorry.

  • Create new Collection Renderer

    Hi,
    I want to create a new Collection Renderer.
    I have created a new Java-Class with a Classloader, which is loaded at startup.
    At Content Management -> User Interface -> Mapping -> Collection Renderer I have defined a Class-Mapping.
    But there is no entry at Content Management -> User Interface -> Settings -> Collection Renderer Settings.
    Regards,

    Hi Gerhard
    Instead of Creating new Collection Renderer..i would suggest copy any one of the exisitng Collection Renderer and modify it according to ur requirement, and assign it to the layout.

  • Why can't I drag one folder into anoth

    If I create a new folder within Zen Media Explorer, why can I not drag another folder into it's
    This is how I arrange my MP3 albums on my PC ARTIST NAME folder--->ALBUM NAME folder--->MP3 TRACKS
    but when I use media explorer to transfer just one album from a multi album folder it transfers it without creating a folder of the artist name therefore I would have to do it manually, but thats isn't possible either.
    Now although this is fine on the player (if ID3 tags are completed) when I come back to media player I don't have the artist name info.
    Am I doing something wrong or has anybody else found this to be a problem
    Thanks

    Thanks Jerry. I just found this out by reading the "What has been lost in Numbers 3.0 upgrade" post by virtue of posing my question here ... In desperation, I downloaded FilemakerPro 13 trial and I am getting quite excited by this although I have commented to Apple that they may want to think about using the now redundant iWeb developers to build a new iWeb with DB capabilities integrating the new Numbers with all it's 09 features restored for ease of use. Will they listen? I doubt it. Ha. Cheers

  • Problem with collection names getting replaced when creating new collections in Photoshop Elements 5.0

    We have been using Photoshop Elements 5.0 a lot lately to organize many photos into collections.  A new problem just arose when creating a new collection.
    As we named the new collection and clicked on "OK" it replaced another existing collection with the new name.  The photos from the old collection were still there but now under the new collection name.  This happened at least three or four times, each time a different "old" collection was renamed.  Does anyone know why this would happen?
    This past week we have added at least 20 new collections with no problem prior to this.  Adobe actually had to shut down when this happened.  Each time we reopened Adobe it would happen again randomly renaming a different "old" collection when we tried to add the new one.  Any insights would be much appreciated.

    Thank you - that was the problem and now it is working correctly
    again!

  • PS CS6 OS X - "Place" dialog box disappears when I try to drag a folder into it.

    We are moving to CS6 at work currently. In our workflow, we need to move from folder to folder (hundreds of them) often, and I do this quickly by dragging the desired folder into the open/save/place dialogs. Doing this immediately takes me to the folder I need without requiring me to navigate there manually.
    In CS6, when I need to replace contents of a smart object (which I need to do proably 30 times every day), I right-click on the smart object's name and select "Replace Contents". A "Place" dialog opens and I can drag the folder of the asset I need into the dialog, but the dialog disappears when I click off of Photoshop to drag the folder. This happens in all screen modes.
    What can I do here? It is impractical to keep source folders in the left bar of the Place dialog (there are literally hundreds of folders I use).
    CS5 let me drag files from the Finder into the open/save/place dialogs. CS6 apparently does not.
    Thanks

    Try this:
    1) Open Photoshop CS6
    2) Open an existing file by double clicking it or opening with dialog)
    3) Select File > Open, and click on the Desktop
       The Open dialog does not vanish?

  • How to create new Sheet in Excel file and write into it

    Hi to all, my requirement is this:
    I have an excel file (.xls) with multiple sheets (three sheets for precision: sheet1, sheet2 and sheet3).
    I must create in the same excel file new sheet, say sheet4, read data from sheet1, sheet2 and sheet3 and write them into sheet4.
    How to realize this in SSIS?
    Expecially, Is it possible to realize this in SSIS?
    thanks in advance.

    You need to create the sheet with the required metadata. There's no use creating blank sheet.
    Also metadata has to be fixed using a sample sheet prior to start of the package for setting the mapping. You may create a excel template for this purpose to just set the mapping at design time.
    At runtime pass actual excel sheet path for ExcelFilePath property of the source to point to correct file.
    Also the create table statement should include the same metadata info (columns)
    Please Mark This As Answer if it helps to solve the issue Visakh ---------------------------- http://visakhm.blogspot.com/ https://www.facebook.com/VmBlogs
    Hi, well it works fine! I have used a sample sheet prior to start of the package for setting the mapping.
    Next at run time  pass actual excel sheet path for ExcelFilePath property of the source to point to correct file.
    However I have set also ValidateExternalMetadata properties of the Excel Destination to false and DelayValidation properties of the package to true.
    Now my problem is the following:
    I stored the three sheets name (sheet1, sheet2, sheet3) in the Object type user variable through a script task and the foreach loop loops through the three sheets stored in the variable.
    Now, I want that at each iteration the CURRENT VALUE of the Object type user variable is mapped into another user variable wich in turn is given in input to the Excel Source.
    Resuming:
    -) I have to copy the content of three sheets (sheet1, sheet2, sheet3) of excel file into another new sheet,   sheet4.
    -) I stored the three sheets name (sheet1, sheet2, sheet3) in the Object type user variable.
    -) With a  foreach loop container I loops the three sheets stored in the Object type user variable.
    -) Within a foreach loop container I have a Data Flow Task that transfer data from source sheet (sheet1, sheet2, sheet3) into destination sheet, sheet4.
    -) PROBLEM: how to change dinamically at each iteration of the foreach loop the name of source sheet? In the destination excel Task the sheet is always the same at each iteration, sheet4. But in the source excel task the name of sheet musts change at each
    iteration. In particular at the first iteration the name of the source sheet must be "sheet1$", at the second iteration "sheet2$", in the last iteration "sheet3$".
    How to change sheet name dinamically at each iteration?
    thanks.

  • Custom icons not showing up when I drag a folder into the dock

    I have a dock in 10.6 (on the left side, going vertical, if that matters). I've dragged a few folders into it, each containing Aliases to various programs. I've set custom icons on these folders, so I can tell at a glance what's in each folder (since it won't fan out for a vertical dock). But even after I rebooted, the dock isn't showing my custom icons but rather kind of an overlay of the various icons in each folder. What am I doing wrong?

  • Automator/Applescript to Create New Pages Doc in Selected Folder

    When working in Finder I'd like to be able to create a folder, and then (still within Finder) create a number of Pages documents inside that folder. This would help in organizing complex projects, and would be preferable to creating the documents (from the bottom up) in Pages and then laboriously assigning each document to a different folder.
    I've tried various solutions in Automator and Applescript but nothing has worked.
    For example:
    try
    tell application "finder" to set myFolder to (folder of the front window)
    on error -- no open folder windows
    set myFolder to path to desktop folder
    end try
    tell application "Pages"
    activate
    set myDocument to make new document with properties {path:myFolder}
    end tell
    But this gets an error "Can't make [the selected folder] of application "Finder" into the expected type. (-1700).
    In automator, I've tried to do the following:
    1. Get Selected Finder Items (which will be the folder I want)
    2. (Create new variable "path" and drag onto 1., which creates "Get Value of variable)
    3. (ignoring input) Get Specified Finder Item (specifying a blank Pages document)
    4. (accepting input) Copy Finder Item to variable "path"
    The problem with this is that step 2 returns both the desired folder AND the desktop. The result of the entire process, moreover, is that the blank Pages file is created (or rather copied to) the desktop ONLY, and not to the desired folder.
    Anyway, I hope someone can help me with this. It would really speed up my organizing process.

  • How to prevent users from creating new folders in share folder directory?

    Hello guys
    I'd like to know How to prevent users from creating new folders in share folder directory but still keep their power of creating new folders in their personal 'my folder'?
    I tried changing the 'manage privilage ---- create folder' to deny certain user accounts, but by doing so, it also stops the user from creating new folders in their 'my folder', which is not good..
    I also tried going into these share folders and tried different access types such as 'change/delete', 'read', 'traverse folder' etc, but none of it work ideally. The 'change/delete' access still allows them to create new folders, 'read' access prevents creating new folders but also take away their power of saving reports..
    Any thoughts on how to take away their ability to ONLY create new folders in share folder areas without affecting their other privileges?
    Please advise
    Thank you

    Easy, on the shared folders root folder only give them 'read' or 'traverse folder' but on the the folder inside the shared folders root folder give them 'change/delete'. That means they can change anything inside those folders but not create any folders at the shared folders root level.

    Hello Victor.
    You may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
    If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.

  • SCCM 2012 - Creating a Collection with Limiting memebers to 5 or 10 Computers even the Memebership Query can pull 1000 members

    Dear Brothers,
    I am deploying a huge application (requires 45 Minutes to Install, 3 to 5 Restarts), and I need to limit the deployment to 5 computers at a time. Limiting my Network Load and also the availability of the computers in operation as it requires a successive
    Restart.
    My aim is to "Create" a "Collection" to focus on deploying the software to
    5 computers at a time. The collection that limits to 5 computers can help our production environment to focus on the total deployment time without disturbing other computers.
    Regards,

    I would use powershell to do this. Create a Collection with all the computers that should get the application.
    Then in powershell - get all the members of that Collection into a variable. Use that variable as a basis for creating new Collection and create some logic that takes 5-10 machines and put those into a new Collection and then takes the next 5-10 machines
    and so on.
    I guess you could also do it using a combination of Query and Exclude Collections membership rules, but you would have to do it manually.

  • Create new  folders for email and photos

    how can i create new file folders for email and/or photos on the iPad 2?
    and, will it also work on the iTouch?
    ALSO, tried to install a wireless printer which looks for documents in the "documents" folder, but i can't save them there from email or anyplace else????
    Thank you for any help

    If you are on iOS 5 and it's an IMAP based email account then you should get an Edit button at the top of the list of your current folders on your email account - if you aren't on iOS 5 or if the account is POP based then you won't get the Edit button.
    Similarly for photos, if you are on iOS 5 then you should get an Edit button at the top right of the Album selection screen in the Photos app which allows you to create new albums and copy (not move) photos into - and if you delete the original photo then if will also be removed from all albums that you've 'copied' it into.
    If the iPod Touch is also on iOS 5 then I think that you will get the same options (though I'm not 100% sure)
