Duplicate high-level locations in Folder panel

I have duplicate high level location names in the Folder panel. For instance there is an entry that reads something like "Pictures (D:)" followed by an identical entry. The duplicate location entries do not contain duplicate folder names.
This started in LR2 and persists in 2.1.
Vista x64 and LR 2.1 x64.
Thoughts or a consolidation method?

I had this occur when I upgraded to 2.0 where all of my imported photos were in one branch and the duplicate set of folders had only my Photoshop Save As photos...the JPGs and PSDs.
I fixed it by removing all the images from one with just the few Save As photos and synced them into the other main folders, one folder at a time, so I didn't lose track of where they were.
Once I had removed all the photos from the smaller of the two duplicate folder sets, it disappeared and has not come back even though I continued to Save As out of Photoshop.
I haven't been subscribed to this forum long enough to know if there is another reason this occurs or another way to clean it up.

  • Duplicate photos from root Picture folder

    As a result of upgrading versions of LR from 1.0 to now, and not knowing how to do that properly, I've got nested Lightroom and Pictures sub folders in my root Pictures on my Mac system.  Is there a way to illiminate duplicate photos, without breaking the LR catalog?  There are no duplicates in my catalog.

    I have LR pointing, on my iMac, to the "Pictures" folder.  Under that, I have sub folders called "Lightroom->Pictures", etc.  I have many more pictures and folders under root->Pictures, than I have in my LR catalog.  I think upgrading since 1.0 has duplicated on import and created new folders.  I want to clean this up now and delete duplicate raw images on disk.  I can't do it manually.  Too onerous. Hope that makes this simple situation clearer.
    Update: Turns out i only have 2k extra images than what appears in the catalog, so maybe not as bad as I thought.  Would still like to reorganize the folders so that they make more sense, like illiminating the lightroom->pictures sub-folders.
    Update: Found the easiest way to reorganize is to global highlight photos in a sub folder and drag to the higher level folder.  LR does all the work and updates the catalog.  Solved.

  • Library Folder Panel Sorting Question

    Can the folder sort criteria be changed in the library module folders panel (Win LR V 2.2)?
    I have looked in the help and either I overlooked the instructions or they are not there. I did find out how to change the contents of the folder display but not the sorting of the display.
    My problem is that I use a folder hierarchy of c:\yyyy\mm\dd-subject and the folder display only sorts on the lowest folder in the hierarchy. Therefore, if I have two (or more) folder sets ending with 05-james they display one under the other even though the full folder path may be c:\2005\03\05-james and c:\2008\11\05-james. I would like the sorting to be on the entire path as is done in Photoshop Elements folder view.
    Thanks for any insights or help.
    Cliff

    I would agree with Lee Jay; if you have a parent folder, then everything in the folder hierarchy displays correctly, in numerical order (using your setting of c:\yyyy\). And it displays sub-folders in numerical/alphabetic order too.
    So if you right-click on your current folders and pick "Add Parent Folder" it should work. In your example, it will create a parent with just the drive letter C: and all your sub-folders should now be listed in correct order. If that does not work, just highlight the newly-created top-level folder, right-click and pick "Remove" and in the pop-up window click the "Promote sub-folders" button; that will get you back to where you were.
    Another option is to do it in Windows. Create a folder called, for example, Photos on your drive. Move all your photo folders into that folder. When you start Lightroom, all folders will be shown as missing, but the job of finding them is simple; a right-click on the missing folder and picking the pop-up menu item with words similar to "locate missing folder" will find your "missing" folders.

  • HDMI Audio not working on Q190 (along with all higher level Audio Formats)

    Help, I have been given the run around via support, I cannot get the HDMI audio to work with my Pioneer Surround Sound, only the Intel display audio shows in control panel (Win 8 X64) and the RealteK S/P Dif port and it is not capable of supporting 7.1 sound or bitstreaming or DTS, Dolby HD, Etc. Tec support appears not capable of fixing the issue and wanted to send me to software support and pay. I have only had the machine for 4 days and it has never supported higher level sound.
    Every other device I have (had or currently) connected to the receiver works just fine. I have to figure this out or return the machine, the audio is the most important aspect for me. Besides when you advertise 7.1 support the machine you sell should be able to do it.

    Hey guys,
    I have had this Q190 with the Celeron CPU since last week and I am using XBMC Frodo and the HDMI is connected to my AVR Onkyo TX-NR809 and from the Onkyo to the TV. And the sound is 7.1 with PLIIZ. It works fine. I think it may be some driver problem because Realtek Audio which is in the Q190 works fine with the Win8 preinstalled. Realtek is kind of bad with driver because I lost my wifi after upgrading to Win 8.1. After a few days with no wifi, I found out that the driver was bad, yes it was a Realtek wifi driver but posted by Lenovo for W 8.1.
    I have another friend who also just bought the Q190 and he reported no audio problem so I think it is just a matter of trouble shooting the drive and configuration. I do love the form factor of the Q190.

  • If a material reports to two higher level assemblies in the BOM /Is there a

    Hi, 
    If a material reports to two higher level assemblies in the BOM would creates two planned orders for it. Each of the orders has a different date?
    For example
    Z is final assembly
    In that Y is one assembly in that says X1material in level 2
    And the again same material X1 is reporting to Y in levels 5 so here my question is it would create two planned order with different dates?
    And
    Is there any report to see confirmed time to say machine time / labor time or shall we go for report.
    Thx....Srini

    Srini,
    CS15 can be usefull to check the usage of component in assemblies.
    if its used then more then once it can be easily located through this report.
    another concern what you expressed is not clear.
    But what i understand is same component is used at level 2 and level 4 of a BOM.
    assumption from the word levels is , X is used in  level 2 its used directly in BOM of Y and Y have some differnt component G which inturn again have X in it .
    so at both this levels if the dependent requirement is different, you can get 2 differnet orders use individual /collective indicvator for this material as individual .
    If your concern is for BOM position (Item Number) field in BOM then system will create a single plan order even if you set it for individual requirement in material master.here some work around can be possible by maintaining lead time offset IN BOM in item detail screen.
    check and come back
    Hope it helps you

  • High Level Recommendations For Multi-Tier Application

    Hello:
    I have been reviewing Windows Azure documentation and I'm still somewhat confused/unsure regarding which configuration and set of services is best for my organization.  I will start off by giving a high level description of the what the environment
    should be.
    A) 2 "Front End" IIS Instances, Load Balanced running an MVC 4.0/.Net 4.5 Web Application
    B) A "dedicated" SQL SERVER 2008 R2 server with medium-high resources (ample RAM and processing power)
    C) An application server which hosts a Windows Service.  This service will require access to the SQL Server listed in B. In addition the IIS "Front Ends" listed in A should have access to a "shared" folder or directory where files
    can be dropped and processed by this windows service.
    I have looked at Azure Web Site, Azure Virtual Machines and Cloud Services and I'm not sure what is best for our situation.  If we went with Azure Web Sites, do we need TWO virtual machines, or a single virtual which can "scale out" up to
    6 instances.  We would get a Standard Web Site, and the documentation I see says it can scale out to 6 instances. I'm somewhat confused regarding the difference between a "Virtual Machine" and an "Instance".  In addition, does
    Azure Web Sites come with built in load balancing between instances, virtual machines? both?  Or is it better to go with Azure Virtual Machines and host the IIS Front end there?  I'm just looking for a brief description/advise as to which would be
    better.
    Regarding the SQL Server database, is there a benefit to using Azure SQL Database? Or should we go with a virtual machine with SQL Server installed as the primary template?  We have an existing SQL Server database and initially we would like to move
    up our existing schema to the Cloud.  We are looking for decent processing power for the database and RAM.
    Finally the "application" tier, which requires a Windows Service. Is an Azure Virtual Machine the best route to take? If so, can an Azure Web Site (given that is the best setup for our needs) write to a shared folder/drive on a secondary virtual
    machine.  Basically there will be json instruction files dropped  into a folder which the application tier will pick up, de-serialize and do backend processing.
    As a final question, if we also wanted to use SSRS, is there updated/affordable pricing and hosting options for this as well?
    I appreciate any feedback or advice.  We are definitely leaning towards Azure and I am trying to wrap my head around what our best configuration and service selection should be.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    A) 2 "Front End" IIS Instances, Load Balanced running an MVC 4.0/.Net 4.5 Web Application
    B) A "dedicated" SQL SERVER 2008 R2 server with medium-high resources (ample RAM and processing power)
    C) An application server which hosts a Windows Service.  This service will require access to the SQL Server listed in B. In addition the IIS "Front Ends" listed in A should have access to a "shared" folder or directory where files can be dropped and
    processed by this windows service.
    Base on my experience and your requirement, you could try to use this solution:
    1.Two cloud service to host your "front end" web application. Considering to Load Balanced, You could use traffic manager to set Load Balancing Settings.
    2. About sql server or ssrs, you have two choice:>1,create a sql server vm  >2, use sql azure and azure ssrs
    I guess all of them could meet your requirement.
    3. About your C requirement, which type application is? If it is website, You could host it on azure website or cloud service.
    And if you want to manage the file by your code, I think you could save your file into azure blob storage. You could add,delete file using rest API(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/dd135733.aspx
    ) or code(http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/documentation/articles/storage-dotnet-how-to-use-blobs-20/ ). And the Blob storage could be as a share file
    folder.
    And for accurately, about the billing question , you could ask azure billing support for more details.

  • Low-Level or High-Level for GUI ?

    I am developing a MIDLet that has to run CLDC-1.1 MIDP-2.0 Devices. The MIDLet has a simple user interface, and there is no gaming. I developed the MIDLet using the high-level GUI class, but I discovered that this class is nice, yet limited. Now I am investigating using the low level canvas class for the GUI. Is it possible to maintain cross-platform compatibility with the canvas, or should I stick with the high-level class?

    High Level Group
    Classes provided are
         Perfect for development of MIDlets that target the maximum number of devices
         Heavily abstracted to provide minimal control over their look and feel
         Classes do not provide exact control over their display
    Low Level Group
    Classes provided are
         Perfect for MIDlets where we want precise control over the location and display of the UI elements
         If more control there is comes less portability It may not be deployable on certain devices

  • APO DP: Disaggregation to product&plant level from higher levels.

    Hi.
    We do demand planning on groups of products and for country/region in general, we have around 48.000 CVC's in our current setup. It works very well.
    A new situation has arisen where we need to have the forecast split down to product and plant level.
    As is we simply don't have the information at this level of granularity.
    I don't see how we can add for instance product to our setup, we have around 20.000 products so the number of CVC's in DP would become massive if we did this.
    I was thinking that perhaps something could be done by exporting the relevant key figures to a new DP setup with fewer characteristics (to keep the number of CVC's down) via some infocubes, perhaps some disaggregation could be done via some tables and the BW update rules. This still leaves the issue of how to get the figures properly disaggregated to plant and product though.
    Does anyone have experiences on how to get the figures split to lower levels from DP when you're planning on a higher level?

    Simon,
    One approach as you mentioned can be creating Z Table where in you set up disaggregation proportion from product group level to product level or product location level.
    Product Group X  100       Product A@loc1 10
                                          Product B@loc1 90
    Download your planning area data into infocube C and then use BW routines to convert the data from group in infocube C to lower level refereing Z Table....into another infocube..
    SAP also provides such standard functionality of spliting the aggregate Demand plan to detailed level
    SNP plan..through functionality like location slit or product split.
    Essential you will be using same concept in yor BW solution or you may also want to consider the
    release your DP to SNP planning area its as solution of diaggregation of data  to lower level.

    Not sure exactly what you mean by errors. If they show up in your Scan Log, then they almost always involved files that you don't have read access to.
    If they were errors during Definitions Update there will be more in your Update Log and are usually network related. 
    If they were infections then I would need to know the infection name and exact location of the file in order to be able to advise you on those.
    To get detailed infomation on what ClamXav has found, after completing the scan, click in the top pane of the ClamXav window where it shows the Infection / File Name / Status to make sure it's in front and type the key combinations <command>-A, <command>-C (or choose "Select-All", "Copy" from the "Edit" menu) to copy the information to your clipboard, then come back here and type <command>-V or choose "Paste" to show us what was found where.

  • Folder panel shows a folder above my library

    I am slowly importing 6000 pictures from iPhoto to LR (through copy). Thus Mac.
    My folder structure is rather simple (inside Pictures):
    Managed photos
    2003
    2004
    2005
    01 to 06
    07 to 12
    etc.
    This is how I see it in my folder panel, with Managed Photos on top. But I just made a mistake, and started importing photos in the Pictures folder, that's one level up from 'Managed photos'. Now, my folder panel shows this level, but I really don't need it. I tried looking into the .plist, but could not find any reference.
    Can anyone help to get rid of that extra level?
    Christopher

    Right click on the folder you don't want. The contextual menu will appear and you can delete it.

  • RFC: Proposing a high level iteration facility based on Collections

    I am requesting for comments for an experimental package I developed providing a high level facility for iteration on Java 2 Collections.
    You can browse the javadoc at http://www.cacs.louisiana.edu/~cxg9789/javautils/ and the code is available for download from http://www.cacs.louisiana.edu/~cxg9789.
    Basically, the package provides an interface Task that has a single method job() which is called for every element in a given collection. There are some static methods for using this kind of scheme and iterating over collections. An example would be: Iteration.loop(collection, new Task() {
              public void job(Object o) {
                // do something on o here
            });Now you may wonder what is the use of going into this much trouble when I can just get an iterator and do the same thing? Well, creating a class that represents the whole iteration opens a number of new possibilities. You can now have methods and variables exclusive for the specific iteration and reuse it. You can even subclass it for variants. This proved very useful in my application especially when I developed the StringTask class that is available in the same package.
    Nevertheless, you can see it for yourself that we've got rid of the iterator and the condition checking that appears in conventional loop constructs. For details you can look at the Iteration at http://www.cacs.louisiana.edu/~cxg9789/javautils/edu/ull/cgunay/utils/Iteration.html and StringTask at http://www.cacs.louisiana.edu/~cxg9789/javautils/edu/ull/cgunay/utils/StringTask.html
    I was wondering if you Java developers would find such a scheme useful. Thanks for your interest..

    Heh... now I need to remember back...
    No I don't, the internet comes to the rescue :-) I
    was wrong, apply is the simple "function apply"
    function, the list function of interest was (is)
    called map.
    http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~paull/cs1011/hof.html
    This was very helpful. Now I know what you're saying. Actually this may very well be the hidden influence that lead to this system. The map operation also exists in Lisp and Scheme. I remember really liking it when I first learned about it.
    My approach isn't exactly the same as neither of map, fold or filter. But I think I can create subclasses of Task which act the same way with these. I will try to do this in the near future.
    Just as a comment on the design, I would have
    maneuvered the list of getSomeResult() into an object
    that knows how to render itself as a String. That may
    well be using your Iteration feature over the internal
    list, or other feature as the developer sees fit.This point is well taken. Actually my program uses this kind of approach in many places, however I wanted to give a less confusing example here.
    Your iteration is a perfectly valid pattern to iterate
    over a collection, and one that could be
    applied in many places in my code. I'm unsure I
    will migrate to use it, because it tends
    towards a large number of small objects to perform its
    function... which sometimes can be a simplification,
    but in this case can obscure multi-threading issues...
    spreading a loop over a collection across multiple
    classes makes it less obvious what is happening to the
    contents, or what synchronization is required, what
    locks have been acquired, or what concurrent
    modifications are possible.On the other hand, it might be more secure to have operations on collections in a place as an Iteration class to keep them together. Maybe you already mentioned it in your message. I can understand your concern in using the system, though.
    To keep this information in one place, you could use
    an anonymous inner class, but then you have lost the
    reusability and succinctness of the iteration, which
    are two of its largest benefits (Being a high-level
    function using centralised, tested code being the
    third, and probably the largest)I started using small inner classes very extensively. Maybe this can alleviate the problem, since they're not anonymous and can be reused. However, there is still a problem using (subclassing) them from outside of the class. I found a way to do this, too. It only works in special situations, though.
    Assume you have an inner class:
    public class Outer {
      class Inner { ... }
    }You can extend this inner class if you have another class extending the Outer:
    class NewOuter extends Outer {
      class Inner extends Outer.Inner { ... }
    Thinking about it, your iteration is at a higher level
    than foreach... and would benefit from using it
    if were ever supported by the JVM. They are slightly
    orthogonal approaches to looping abstraction, foreach
    being syntactic and your pattern being heuristic.We're in tune here, I'd be interested to use the foreach operator and the Iterable interface as primitives in my system if they will ever be provided in Java. Currently, they are not offering me anything extra, since the Collection interface provides me with what I need.

  • Unusual high level of SPAM

    Hello,
    I experience super-high level of incomming SPAM e-mail for last 2-3 weeks. Everyday I am getting for 20-25 the same templetes e-mails come to Inbox, and the same  20-25 SPAM in my Jank folder. I keep forwarding to [email protected] as recommended, but it does not help at all. Just found 16 more in the Inbox today morning, then have to spend time and check/filtering manually, and that is not cool.
    Seems to me like filtering stops working on the mail-server side. All those e-mail are very similar, look 100% SPAM, and I do not get why it does not filtered on the server instead of pusshing to my mail account.
    Also wonder if there is any chance Apple Support may help?
    Thanks,

    I'm with you on this. I've been getting hammered with spam the last 2-3 weeks also. Incredibly frustrating to keep up with. I've turned off my mail on iPhone until this gets figured out. Seems iCloud is an easy target!

  • ITunes creating duplicate files under a hidden folder named "Volumes".

    It seems my iTunes program is secretly making a duplicate file in a hidden folder called "Volumes" on my laptop hard drive. It's now maxxed out my drive and I need to both remove the "Volumes" folder and make sure it doesn't get created and happen again.
    Details:
    Using a Powerbook G4 with an 80gb drive. Using iTunes 8. The iTunes library program is in the usual place on the lap top hard drive but the music library folder, where all the files get saved to, is on an external drive labeled "Media".
    Clicking normally and searching around my laptop hard drive, I do not see or am able to access the folder named "Volumes". But I know it exists as I ran a scan program called jdiscreport and it clearly shows a huge folder, 45gb, named "Volumes". There are also a few old flacs in the "Volume folder also. The iTunes duplicate files are in identically named folders as the external drive: iTunes Music located within Media, located within Volumes.
    When I rip a CD in iTunes (or the iTunes-LAME program I sometimes use), the files do go to the proper external folder as expected and as I've set in the iTunes preferences section. So why is iTunes also saving the same thing to this mystery "Volumes" folder on the lap top hard drive? How do I get rid of this folder without wiping my drive? How do I stop it from continuing?
    Help, I have 2gb of free space left!
    Thanks, James

    Hi I am having a similar issue, It all started when I tried to restore from the Time Machine and it threw a error back stating that there is no disk available. I was wondering how come and went to find out what is happening and was shocked to find out that actually my entire Macintosh HD has a duplicate copy inside the /Volumes folder. I went to the XTERM to investigate and found that the / (root) has a Users folder where all my stuffs like pictures, music, movies, documents reside and the same data or content is duplicated in the /Volumes/Macintosh HD/Users folder
    I first thought that it was only a link, but I later found that it is not a link and it is indeed a physical copy of all my User folders inside the /Volumes/Macintosh HD/Users folder and actually occupying my Hard disk space.
    I am not sure how this happened or how it is duplicating itself. I am also afraid to delete the stuffs inside the /Volumes folder as it might crash my system (it is already hidden - I assume it is hidden for some purpose). Please suggest any options, how I can get rid of these duplicated data and how to avoid such duplication in the future.
    Thanks

  • "Administrator or higher level privileges." But I am the Admin!

    I have a very frustrating problem. I noticed this for the first time when my printer stopped working. The scanner works, and I can run print tests from my computer but it won’t print. When I tried to reinstall the drivers I got an error message that says, “The software to be install needs Administrator or higher level privileges.” I typed in the correct password, which works for everything else. I am the only one using my computer and I am an administrator. This has never happened before.
    Now I can’t install anything without this error message, not even my regular updates. Which is freaking me out.
    I’ve tried everything I can think of. I’ve run disk utilities, repairs and permissions. I’ve created a new user (administrator) and tried that password/username.
    I couldn’t find any other threads on here with an answer to this problem.
    Thanks so much in advance if you can help me!! It is much appreciated! I have a lot of papers that are due next week and it would be awesome if I could figure this out.
    Ask me anything you need to know. I have a duel power G5 with extra ram, running OS X.

    .plist is temporary preference file for any application
    try using file search for "installer", if "installer.plist" is not found anywhere you may need to reinstall the OS.
    first you could try creating new user in System Preferences, restart computer, login as new user and try installing something.
    if it works under different user, some other prefernce could have been corrupted in original setup.
    in that case more drastic thing would be to log in as original user, go to your user home folder, then "library" folder and moving whole "preferences" folder to desktop.
    after restart all settings will go to defaults though - network, printers, dock, desktop pics etc.
    if it still won't work, OS files got corrupted and you may need to try "archive and install" option from 10.3.x installation disks:

    keep in mind it's a good idea to have backup of important files just in case.
    try it step by step starting with creating new user and take your time.
