Album Organization Advice (warning: I come from PC Land...)

OK. Trying to organize around 50K of images coming from a PC. I am almost positive that when I run a dupe delete routine I will be down to 25K or 20K.
Right now I am plunking through a "manual" import of all my PC folders with the attendant duplicates and the ridiculous dis-organization. This means that they come into iPhoto and the /individual/ photos need to be sorted. What I mean by this is that I am doing a TON of moving just to get the database in some kind of coherent order. This all needs to happen on some level before I can even think about naming the photos. Although I'm not sure I have wrapped my head around exactly why I should name the photos just yet. I know this is important so any advice is really welcome. I'll throw some questions out and I'm very much hoping someone can hit a couple back at me so I can get a little better over here.
1. Is there a way to create a new Album? Is there a way to move a group of photos to a new Album - say select a group of images right click and say "Move to New Album"?
2. Is there a way to "bulk name" or "bulk tag" a group of photos? Say if I want to "prepend" the prefix "Portfolio..." to a group of photos that are otherwise named "1234567.jpg" and I want them to say "Portfolio_1234567.jpg" so I can order them better.
Right now I have ten folders that have "Portfolio..._ at the beginning. Portfolio 1, Portfolio 2 etc, etc. I am currently putting all the photos that belong to each portfolio in the correct album. The problem is that in the Photos pane it is not showing my albums in alphabetical order so this organization is troublesome. If I find a group of photos and I want to move them to "Portfolio 3" I have to scroll through about forty or fifty Albums that are not in alphabetical order. I'm wondering if it makes more sense to drop all the photos into a "Portfolio" Album and to then name them - and somehow sort them - by the photo name...
Any help? Please and thanks...

File menu ==> new album
and
File menu ==> new album from selection
for existing albums you can simply select photos and drag them to the album
Or just drag a folder from the finder to the album section of the source pane - this will import the photos and create an album

Sort of - under the photos menu ==> batch change
It probably is easier to rename photos prior to importing - name mangler - http://manytricks.com/namemangler/ - is a good choice for this

  • The new U2 album that I never asked for keep playing on my Ipad, how do I get rid of it ? seems to come from the iCloud....

    need to delete this album from my ipad...
    icons of iCloud on the right of the songs.
    the album appears under artists
    doesn't appear on lists
    doesn't appear on the Imac when Ipad connected ?
    how do I suppress this music I don't want ?

    ok thx for answering, but I still don’t understand why the music is playing while I never downloaded it ?
    when I use the music icon on my Ipad, on my lists, it suddenly plays the U2 noise in the middle of it
    why, if it’s not on my Ipad ?

    when it show a cloud to the right then it's not on your device
    it mean that it's tied to y our iCloud account and can be redownloaded should you wish to
    if you buy other music from iTunes and don't want it on the iOS device anymore because you transferred to your computer
    and wish to add other music then that too will show with the cloud it mean that should you wish you can get it downloaded again free
    it's pretty much the same deal in app store app where you can click on purchases and access all apps tied to your appleID

  • Where does album art come from?

    I had assumed that the album artwork that iTunes 7 provided would only be from music available on iTunes. It made sense; no Beatles artwork, no AC/DC, no Led Zep. However, some albums that aren't available at the iTunes store automatically appear. Most notably, of all things, the album "Conquer the Video Craze"; an obscure record that teaches you how to play Pac-Man and Stargate. When I saw that THIS appeared, I started checking others. There are a lot of albums that aren't available on iTunes, yet the artwork is downloaded. Where does it come from?

    I also could download artwork of albums which are not available in the Dutch iTunes Store (the only one available for my purchases).
    Searching in other Stores I found the albums, so I guess the artwork has to be stored on a central server or the artwork request is redirected to others Stores' servers.
    No information is known to me where it actually comes from.

  • ITunes 7: Where does album art come from?

    I'm curious what the source of the album art is that iTunes 7 downloads.
    Anybody know?

    Perhaps you're right that it comes from ITMS. I thought it might be multiple sources since some of it is pretty bad.
    For example: http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?id=661377&s=143441
    That's the Radiators "Law Of The Fish" and it looks like the original graphic designer's mock up, complete with cropping marks in the margins!
    Shocking.

  • What database does album art come from?

    I'm just wondering if we're capable of updating it, or where the information comes from.  I'd also like to know about iTunes capitalization and punctuation standards, if there's a link to that, a la Wikipedia, and genre listing.  Who controls that information?
    Thanks
    M.

    After a bit more research this afternoon, I did discover the Gracenote website where they have some interesting information.  It's interesting to me that iTunes draws its album names and genre from Gracenote, but its art from the iTunes store (at least as far as I've been able to figure out).
    I did have some luck, if other people have album art problems, shutting all of my programs down and restarting, and then relogging into iTunes and making it sure it had correct cc or Paypal information.  I was getting an error -409.  Now, I'm down to sixty missing album covers.
    My "Live at the Fillmore" album, for instance, I used as an experiment.  I right-clicked Get Track Names, and it changed the name of the album to "Live @ The Fillmore" rather than my preferred spelling, which evidently comes from CDDB database?  Is that the same as Gracenote?  Then I right-clicked the album again and selected Get Artwork.  Now it was unable to find the artwork.
    When I checked in the iTunes store, I noticed that the album was listed "Live At the Fillmore."  So I changed the name back to "Live at the Fillmore" and it found the art, even though my capitalization was different.  So I'd say that the text has to be exactly the same, but capitalization can differ.
    It still seems like the two databases are drawing from two different places.
    I did figure out how to right-click and find art for individual albums, so that's extremely helpful and a big time saver.

  • Bill of Lading - where the "Received From:" information is comming from?

    Hello All,
    In the Bill of Lading, right in the top, there is a "Received From:" information, do you know where that information come from? I have checked SPRO IMG for Company Code address, Sales Organization, Plant, Shipping Point, and have not found exacly where is comming from. Would you please let me know?
    I enter into the BOL from VL02N, then "OutBound Delivery" menu option, and then "Issue Delivery Output".
    Thanks
    Jose Alvarado

    With your advices, I used NACE transaction and found the FORM and Program for the BOL. Into the BOL printing program I added some breakpoints, so when I try to print one BOL I finally find where the address is being taking from:
    The Bill of Lading is being printed using this SAP program: ZRVADDN01 and this SAP Form: ZRVDELNOTE.
    The program calls three tables to fulfill the u201CReceived Fromu201D values in the BOL: Table TVKO, T001 and ADRC.
    The SPRO IMG configuration:
    SAP Customizing Implementation Guide > Enterprise Structure > Definition > Financial Accounting > Edit,Copy, Delete, Check Company Code
    Thanks for all the help!

  • When I try to open the downloaded file, a security warning restricts me from opening the file.

    I have the new Motorola Bravo which is on the Android 2.1 system. When I try to open the downloaded file, a warning appears saying "This application comes from an unknown source, and for your security only applications from trusted sources can be installed". Is the download corrupt? I would think not, but I am very confused.

    Unfortunately, AT&T disables the ability for its Android phones to install applications that aren't distributed through the Android Market.
    If this phone is not AT&T-branded, then you might be able to enable "Non-Market sources" in the "Applications" section of the Settings app.
    If it is, then you might be able to use the Android developer tool "adb" to install Firefox on your phone (search the web for instructions), or you can wait for our next beta release which should be available through the Market later this month.

  • Payment Terms should come from vendor master data

  • IPhoto 6 "found" old photos - where did they come from?

    When I opened iPhoto 6 for the first time, it updated my iPhoto library just fine. In the process a dialog opened saying it found 134 photos from somewhere, and asked if I wanted to import them. When I said YES, it created a new album and imported those 134 photos into it.
    The photos ended up being old photos (2-4 years old) that I thought I had deleted a long time ago, many of my ex-wife during holidays and a vacation 3 years ago! Where did they come from? Needless to say, my new fiancee wondered why I had old photos of the ex! I thiought they were gone.
    I used Spotlight to search for "IMG_0...) and found many old photos I had deleted! I do not have an old iPhoto libraray on my PowerBook G4, but the photos were still there in folders, deep inside iPhotos filing system. I deleted all the ones I needed to, all by hand within the Finder.
    What happened?

    I had well over 2,000 photos recovered... Also ranging from 5 years old to this past month.
    There was no clear answer but the photos were recovered in large chunks (300 from December, 400 from March, 600 from January, etc...)..
    The entire time I has iPhoto 5, it never worked properly (always crashed) so a lot of these photos clearly were photos not properly saved in iPhoto 5.
    However, I don't see them in my main library. How do I move them from recovered to the Library?

  • Applying order by for the data comming from the formula column

    Dear Friends,
    I am having a report in which some of the columns in which data is comming from the formula columns,but i need the data in asc order.
    How can i do it.
    Please advice.

    I am having a report in which some of the columns in
    which data is coming from the formula columns,but i
    need the data in asc order.Lets say you have this query:
    select empno, sal, comm from emp
    And you have empno, sal, comm and a formula column 'f_percentage' in one group. Add one dummy column in the query, like this:
    select 'temp' temp, empno, sal, comm from emp
    Move this 'temp' column into the second group (drag and drop outside the first group). You don't have to create repeating frame/or need to show this 'temp' column on the report.
    Now if you use break order on formula column, that should work. Make sure you have break order on other columns also. Arrange items (change order) in data model as you needed. Run your report before and after this change and make sure you have same number of rows before and after this change.
    (from reports builder's help)
    "Break Order has no effect on columns that belong to the lowest group of a particular query. Break Order only affects columns in groups that are above the lowest child group of a query"

  • Please help needed os x lion I wish to transfer photos from the iPhoto library to a album or folder then delete them from the Library but when I do this it also deletes them from the album ? how do I do this please.

    Please help needed os x lion I wish to transfer photos from the iPhoto library to a album or folder then delete them from the Library but when I do this it also deletes them from the album ? how do I do this please.

    Albums are not places to store photos, they're more like "labels" you can apply to photos to better organize them. A single image file can be in multiple albums... they are not copies, it's simply been labelled as being in all those albums. So what you're trying to do doesn't make sense, because it's based on incorrect assumptions.
    The iPhoto library will always show all photos that you have added to iPhoto.

  • Help with Muse form - random order on test and where did the case number come from?

    Hi
    Fairly new to Muse but finding my way around. Created a simple form, added extra lines, changed labels and reordered etc to suit our needs. All looks fine in design stage. When I published and tested the form, the email submission I received has a different order for the form fields, so they are no longer logical and do not follow the order shown on the design stage. Any reason and/or any advice on how to fix this? The data needs to match an internal system for ease of use but Muse seems to have its own ideas about which order we should receive the field data from the submitted form!?
    Also, there appears to be a randon 'case number' as part of the email submission. I have not created a field for this - where has it come from, and how do I get rid of it?
    Many thanks in advance for time spent assisting

    Hi
    Please share the site url and screenshot of form fields in design mode and received notification in email.
    Thanks,

  • Employees from Organizational assignment were not found from BP Relations

    Hello Friends,
    I have problem here.
    When an employee is assigned to multiple positions in the same organization  in the Organizational structure (PPOMA_CRM) and one such assignment is deleted at a later point of time, it will not be found from the BP relations i.e.. neither in the "Is Employee of" relationship of Employee BP nor in the "Has Employee for" relationship of the Organization BP.    Steps to Reproduce:    1) Assign Employee to Position i.e. 'Sales Rep1' (General Attribute (CRM) Change)   2) Save   3) Validate from the BP of this Organisation that the Employee is in the 'Relationships' list.   4) Assign the same Employee to another Position i.e. Sales rep 2 in the same organisation   5) Save   6) Validate from the BP of this Organisation that the Employee is in the 'Relationships' list.   7) Delete Assignment from 'Sales Rep1'   8) Check Relationship of the BP. RESULT: Employee does not exist. So, if the Employee is assigned to multiple positions in the same organisation and then deleted from one of the positions, then Relationship in BP (both Organisation and Employee) is deleted.     
    Any one knows what is going wrong here.
    Thanks a lot in advance

    Hello Frank
    I've been careful regarding that as well, following some recommendations from this link: http://technology.amis.nl/2009/07/06/create-deploy-and-consume-an-adf-task-flow-with-adf-business-components-inside/
    The class/package structure is different and unique for each application, "Main", "Employees" and "Departments". On a paranoid attempt while being aware of the situation you mentioned, I renamed the DataBindings.cpx (outside JDeveloper) to EmployeesDataBindings.cpx and DepartmentsDataBindings.cpx in each respective application, while refactoring the adfm.xml files to point to the new names.
    I've also chosen the option to store only the name of the database connection for the deployment of each ADF Library Jar
    Still, the problem persits... *cry*
    One thing I didn't mention in my initial post is... I do have ADF Security (form-based) enabled on the "Main" application, with the appropriate roles assigned to the Main.jspx page and even to the bounded task flows that come from the ADF Library JARs (there's an option in the the Resource Grants section of the jazn-data.xml file when the resource type is "Task Flow" that says "Show task flows imported from ADF libraries"), without which the region in the Main.jspx page would not even try to render (I guess it would fail internally with an unauthorized error but it doesn't actually display any error in the user interface)... Could this be the root of the problem? I don't see any option to grant permissions to DataControls or AppModules tho...
    Thanks again. Regards,
    - Tiago Vidigal
