Best way to move projects & albums into just folders & projects?

Hello,
Could anyone recommend the best method for moving lots of files through albums, projects,
and folders without confusing Aperture about the location of adjustments or masters? I am
sure it's not that hard but I have three major concerns before I even try to touch things the
way I have them set up.
My goal is to go from bloated, oversized projects and albums (I should not have been importing
to albums to begin with) and separate them into more varied and numerous folders and projects.
I will try to focus on one topic of my confusion at a time, so that this thread will not go everywhere,
in a random directions:
1) The biggest mistake I THINK I've made was randomly importing files from my camera
    into whatever I felt like importing them into, so my library has now become a random grab-bag
     of folders, projects, and albums. I did not know their relationship to each other at the time, so
     i used them as generic "containers" for each other. LOL Anyway, what is going to happen when
     I start moving all this stuff around, and some images (like the ones in albums) are virtual,
     while others are not?
2) I want to move but not copy from one project to the other. Can I do so by means of drag
     and drop? Or is there a smarter way?
3) For anyone who has done this before, what method(s) did you use?
4) I know I can delete albums without any problem of losing a file, but what if I made
    some of albums from files in the Library, which do not have projects containing them?
     Also, why does the formatting on my paragraph make it look like look like complete crap?

Hi Waxy,
So that leaves me with the question, if I want to move files from an overweight project, say 1000 photos to 3 projects, each containing 333 photos, it is as simple as shift clicking the 333 at a time, and drag dropping them from the larger project to three pre-made smaller projects? The concern I have is that, if I accidentally copy something I will have no confidence that what I am deleting is the proper thing to delete.
Yes, it is that easy. Select and drag-and-drop to a different project. The destination of your DND should be a project in the library inspector (left side pane). This actually performs a move. I.e., you have nothing to worry about with respect to deleting the wrong thing, since the move happens, rather than a copy.
One last thing, how do you see just the number of masters in a project?
Open Aperture while holding down the alt/option key. This is the way to switch to a different library. When you select any library (if you have only one, that will be already selected), Aperture will give you a count of masters and versions.
P.S. what happens to files when you delete a project? The files stay behind in the library?
Nope. Well, maybe sort of... When you delete a project, you are indicating that you don't want Aperture to handle the photos in that project any more. Masters will go to the Aperture trash, and you can retrieve them from there until you empty the trash. When emptying the trash with Managed masters, Aperture will put them in the system trash. If they are referenced, Aperture queries you to find out if you want to keep them where they are or move them to the system trash.
A project containing 4 albums contains a total of "535" files.
The total number of images in all four albums equals "546".
How are you counting these? You may be comparing apples to oranges.
Another album, that resides inside of a folder, but not inside of a project, contains 133 images. They should be inside a labeled project (they appear not to be, since they have been physically dragged and dropped away from the original project, which is apparently unlabled)
Not sure what you mean by labeled and unlabeled. However all photos are part of a project. You cannot "drag away" from a project into an album, even if that album is part of a different project. No matter what, your master is still housed inside a project.
You can have Aperture show you the "Project path" of a photo. Check the "General" metadata view. Project path is in mine (although I do not remember if I did that on purpose).
C: Is there a right click or menu option which simplifies some of this stuff?
I guess I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to accomplish. Maybe with your definition of labeled and unlabeled your question will be clearer.

Best way to move 2 iMovie projects to 1 iDVD project?

I am in a last minute bind and I was hoping I could get some help! I am making a DVD for my wedding reception that is NEXT weekend. ah! Anyway...here is what I have done:
1. Created three slideshows w/ KB effects in iPhoto and exported them to quicktime movies. (Question on that if anyone knows - only had three quality levels for that creation, and I chose the highest. Is this the best way to turn these slideshows into movies for eventual incorporation into a DVD??)
2. Imported all three slideshow movies into iMovie because I want them to play back to back (and found iDVD can't set it up that way) - added title slides between them & stitched them together in their entirity. Now I have one, big movie creation in iMovie that I want to be a feature on my DVD
3. ALSO created an interview/tour video of our home and town to show at the reception. It contains multiple clips (over 120 edited) from a video camera, extracted audio from the video clips (for some), imported song files for background music, transitions, titles, etc. Now I have one really nice, almost 25 minute video video that I want to be a feature on my DVD.
What I want to do:
I want both of the movie creations I just described to be on my DVD. (I am planning on doing a third, if it fits & I have time, and I can do the same thing with that based on whatever advice I get.) The DVD will be really simple - just a single title on the main screen of the DVD for each movie b/c they will be played at different times during the reception.
My questions/concerns:
I looked at my options for getting my creation onto a DVD - here is what I found:
1. I can share straight to iDVD - but it appears I can only do that for a single movie per DVD project. When I went to share the second movie, it asked me if I wanted to save my original DVD project before making a new one. So it doesn't seem like I can "share" multiple movies to the same DVD project. Also, when you do this - what is really happening?? It didn't take very long, so I know it wasn't copying files over. Is it just making links back to the referenced files, and will somehow write a movie when I actually burn the DVD? If so, what then will be my options for creating the movie??
2. From iMovie, I can export a project in a number of ways (to video camera, quicktime, email, web, etc). I am assuming that quicktime gives me the best, but not sure. The PROBLEM is that when I exported my main (25min) video, it was over 5GB!!!!!!! That seems a tad big. I forget the size that a DVD can hold, but it just seems like there should be a better way, and this is too big (maybe not?).
Needs:
As I have stated, this is to be shown at my wedding reception (and maybe parts at the rehearsal dinner). Primarily it is designed for an overhead projector, but obviously it will be watched on TVs/computers at some point.
I am wanting to make sure the video(s) is the best quality I can make it so that it all comes out well. This is my FIRST project, so there are several things I just don't know enough about at this point - learning with this important video, must be crazy!! It looks REALLY good so far, now it is just outputting it so I can show it to the world.
Thanks for ANY pertinent help you can provide, and please, limit responses to the actual things I am asking about as I don't have a lot of time to wade through things trying to 2nd guess & pick what I need. That would be very helpful!!

You can do it in one of two ways (I have done both):
1. Follow the procedure I outlined using Toast Titanium. You don't have all the bells and whistles of iDVD in the final product, but you have a working DVD. And there has been an ongoing issue with encoding in iDVD where the process hangs or slow way down, especially at the audio endoding stage.
2. Start a new iMovie, and then copy and paste the clips and audio from your other iMovies into the new one. I tried importing but could not figure out how to do that or if it is even possible. The process of copy and paste is tedious and problematic, especially with the audio tracks and if anyone else has found a better way, I would really like to know. But this does work, but be prepared to spend some time. But it has the advantage of you being able to pick and choose.

What is best way to move pictures from laptop to EHD pse10

I have gotten differing views on the best way to move my pictures from my laptop (to free up space) to an EHD while keeping PSE10 on my computer. When I want to do something in PSE10 I would connect my EHD.
It has been suggested to follow the pse10 "back up" procedure but there are no directions on how to get the program to read the EHD after the back up is made (so pse10 can find my pictures on the EHD).
It has been suggested to do a "drag and drop" procedure but I have not been able to get step by step directions for this for pse10.
Can someone please assist me in this task with good directions. I am marginally literate in these things, probably enough to make a big mess if I tried this without consult.
If no one can answer this is there a next level that one can go to?
I have tried chat with Adobe help and they won't help me because I do not have the newest version of pse.

One more thing...
I have a MacBook pro that I'm using to connect to the thunderbolt drives. I believe I should be able to just connect my pc to the Mac via an Ethernet cable and network them, yes? Well, I tried that and could not get it to work. My pc never saw the new network.
You see, part of the problem actually has nothing to do with the transfer process at all. The movie comes with 12tb of footage files. That's ALL the footage shot during their 18 day schedule. However, only certain shots, about 4tb worth, made it into the final cut of the film, and the editor did not separate those shots out for me. So now, I am responsible for manually sifting through all the footage and copying over just the shots that made the final cut. I have a list of the shots needed, and I have an exfat formatted 500gb usb2 drive that so far is performing as well as out can, but it's an incredibly slow process that is compounded by the slow, usb2, copy speeds I'm currently getting.
Would a network connection handling such large amounts of transfers be faster than usb 2?
And also, I tried a free pc utility that allows my pc to read and write to Mac drives, but the transfer speed was so slow that I abandoned that strategy. Would Paragon have faster speeds?

GAME: best way to MOVE objects: tweenlite them or increment their x any values

As the title says, need best way to move objects in game. Always used x and y increments. Read about tweenlite and use it, very easy. So which do I use taking into account that these games can be ported to mobiles ie: which is more optimized. It's a platform type game. I will have
a. A little girl that walks and climbs
b. Little platforms that slide from side to side - you have to jump on them
c. The little girl will jump
d. Little baddies will fly around the screen.
ALSO, as the girl jumps I would like it to look natural
a. Gravity as she falls down
b. The correct increment on x and y as she jumps.
Shouldn't their be an actionscript 3 games forum . anybody know a good site for that?
Cheers in advance

OK - I get the message. I should increment x.
I must have phrased the question wrongly. I'm just looking at optimization techniques so when games go on mobile they work OK.

HT1589 what's the best way to move content to a new library I created ie a holiday music only library?

what's the best way to move content to a new library I created ie a holiday music only library?

Sophie:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You're only hope to recover the library as it once was is to: 1 - if you have a backup copy of your iPhoto Library or 2 - you can put everything back exactly the way it was in the Finder.
Otherwise you'll have to start over with a new library and import the Originals folder from your current library as follows:
Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
Open the library package like this.
Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library if you have the Finder checkbox unchecked in the Events preference pane.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Best way to move sprites around in the scene?

What is the best way to move sprites around on the scene?
So far I came up with this code to move all the sprites from the right to the left
var anim = Timeline {
repeatCount: Timeline.INDEFINITE
keyFrames: KeyFrame {
time: 0.1s;
action : function(){
for(n in container.content){
def item = n as Sprite;
item.posX -= 2;
it moves the sprites for 2px every 0.1s, but it's not so smoth.
Is there a better way for doing it?

netsuvi wrote:
But this approach limits me in someway that i am unable to change yet. It means that I have to know
the end position on the sprite at the beginning? But how about user interaction? I would like to adjust the speed, during running.
Or how about collision detections?To use this technique, you have to know the end position, at least provisionally, at the start.
If something changes during the timeline (such as the user clicking) you can always stop the timeline
and recompute a new trajectory and start another timeline.
Collision detection is harder, especially among objects that are all moving.
I saw some people are just generation tics. Like 10 per seconds, Then then calculate the whole stuff in a function.
probably it would be enough to have 2 calculation tics per second and let the javaFX engine calculate the necessary frames in between.This is a reasonable approach, and it's fairly straightforward. However, even in some cases like BrickBreaker, you can compute
the endpoint or do collision detection (mostly) up front without having to compute frame-by-frame. For example, when the ball
is heading up, you can tell from its position and velocity whether it's going to hit a brick or a wall and when it will hit. When the
ball is heading down, you don't know whether the ball will hit the paddle, because the user can move it. However, the paddle
moves only horizontally along a certain Y-position, so you can compute the time and location at which the ball will reach that
Y-position. If the paddle is there, it bounces, otherwise the ball drops off the bottom and the turn ends.
If you want to compute collision detection among two or more moving objects, well, that's a lot harder. It probably requires doing
a bunch of math, and it might be possible to do in closed form. If not, successive approximation might be the easiest way to do
it.
So in pseudo code it would something like this:
Animation Start 0Seconds: Sprites have this position
Animation Start 0.5Seconds: Move sprite to this position // JavaFX makes the in between steps
do function() {
calculate speed,
calculate collision detection or whatever
then restart the Animation steps.I think the key is to decouple the position and collision computations from the actual graphics animation.
For example, suppose you have an object heading towards a wall that's 500 pixels away, and it's moving at 250
pixels/sec. (Assume constant velocity.) Then you know that the object will be at the wall in 2 seconds, so
you just set up a KeyFrame with that information, put it into a Timeline, and run it. You'll need to put an action
function in the KeyFrame as well. But note that this doesn't necessarily compute the next 0.5 seconds or the
next 2 seconds. Instead, it should look at the new state and compute the time at which the next event occurs
and then set up KeyFrames to run all the objects until that time.
I tried something with the timeline.playFromStart() but it didn't work. It just repeated the same animation instead of doing a new one.
You have any clue how to do that?The playFromStart() function will simply replay the same animation, as you noted. What you want to do is
recompute KeyFrames starting from the current state that show animation to some future state. Then,
load these KeyFrames into the Timeline (or create a new Timeline) and run it.

Best way to move iTunes library & media from MacBook to mini server?

First, I searched the forums (parameter: "itunes") and didn't see this addressed.
Second, I searched the web (using multiple parameters), and didn't find an answer on point. I saw discussions about moving the iTunes library (well, media files) to another location (but same computer) and discussion about manually copying everything (with warnings about ensuring that the volume name and path are exactly the same, or else it's totally messed up).
That said, I currently use SL on a MacBook and I'm getting a mini with SLS. Among other things, I'd like the core of my iTunes media to be on the mini (for direct playback to my TV and for serving/sharing to my Apple TV). I'll still use iTunes on the MacBook for selected media (like books).
My media includes both iTunes purchases and non-DRM'd media.
Question: does SLS come with Migration Assistant and will this move my iTunes library from my MacBook (with SL) to the mini (with SLS)? I'm not interested in a migration assistant to move servers (web, email servers) or apps, or documents for that matter, as this is not a server move (some discussions online focused on this).
If it doesn't, what's the best way to move my iTunes library and media from my "clien" machine to the server so that playlists, ratings, purchases, etc. are all intact?

MrHoffman wrote:
iTunes has its own private little world, and this question isn't really specific to Mac OS X Server, and the generic media-transfer discussion will likely receive better coverage over in the [iTunes forum|http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=149].
Mac OS X Server doesn't do anything special with iTunes, and likely doesn't do anything specific with it at all; you're going to a "different" Mac, and server makes this more akin to a transfer to a new Mac, rather than the "replacement Mac" sequence seen with Mac OS X client.
I'd be surprised if this music transfer wasn't something that could be sorted out (within the limits of the copyrights) from some FAQ over in the iTunes forum, or from some of the following support articles:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1449
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1660
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1329
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1848
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1203
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA38534
See if the folks over in the iTunes forum have something for this. (And again, server likely isn't relevant here; you're "just" going to transfer your music to a different Mac box here, and one that happens to run Mac OS X Server.
Thanks for the links - unfortunately, none of those are on point. The reason this is unique to server, I think, is that in the case of a regular mac to mac transfer, you would use Migration Assistant, and the move is easily done. But in seems like server doesn't come with Migration Assistant.
I suppose when I get it, I'll first try copying Migration Assistant to it, and try to run it. That will probably fail (but you never know), so my next attempt will be to have my MacBook move the media to the server (as if the server is simply network storage), and then copy over the library files. (I'm hoping that will enable the file paths to remain intact.)
The mini server is special in that it is the most appropriate home server, and home servers should be expected to do double duty - and outright server, and desktop. So, it would be handy for Apple to include Migration Assistant with the mini server.

What's the best way to move files from my old G3 to my new Intel DuoCore?

I just received my new Intel DuoCore 17" iMac. For years I have been using a much-loved G3 500 mHz iMac. The new Intel iMac is still in the box, but I believe it shipped with OS 10.4.4. The G3 runs 10.2.6. I have a dial-up connection to the Internet; currently DSL is not available in my neighborhood. What is the best way to move my files from the G3 to the Intel dc? Can I simply connect them with an Ethernet cable and transfer files directly? Or is my best bet to simply save the files I want to transfer to a disc and do it the old-fashioned way? Please forgive me in advance for my ignorance; although I have been a Mac user and supporter for many years, I am astonishingly ignorant when it comes to the best way to using both Mac hardward and software.
iMac Intel DuoCore Mac OS X (10.4.4)

There are two issues - 1. Getting the files moved over, and 2. Being able to open them on the Intel iMac.
1. This can be technically easy if you are willing to spend the time. I moved all my stuff from my old Mac to my new one by hooking the two together with an ethernet cable, directly. You would need both machines to have appropriate IP addresses. (go to the network preferences and pull down the built-in ethernet panel.) Some addresses such as 192.168.1.100 and 192.168.1.101 would work with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0) Now go to the new iMac and make sure the finder is selected (click on the desktop) and under the "GO" menu select "Connect to Server". You will need to put in the IP address of the old machine, and later it's administrative password. Then select its hard drive from the list (possibly only one choice) and it should appear as an icon on your iMac desktop. You can open this like any other drive and just drag items to the new iMac.
2. Whether you can use all the files moved over from the old G3 is difficult to answer. You may be using Classic mode sometimes on the G3 and have some stuff created with a Classic application. You are probably aware that the new Intel iMac does not support Classic mode, so some of these files may not be useable without a bit of work (or at all, perhaps.) For instance I had to purchase Appleworks to handle some of my old Clarisworks documents because Pages couldn't understand them. Once I had them converted to Appleworks documents, I could then convert them again to Pages documents.
I had some old MacDraw Pro documents that were equally problematic.
I would advise you to get the new iMac out of the box and connected to your dialup internet connection first. Do all the software updates until running software updater says there is nothing new. Then you will be at 10.4.7 with all the latest security and fixes etc. Then disconnect from the internet and use an ethernet cable to get the stuff off the old computer.
There will be lots more to do such as moving your mail, address box entries etc. later, but this is a start.

Best way to move large iTunes library?

I have a large (nearly 1Tb) iTunes library of music, videos and TV shows and have almost reached the capacity of the HDD they currently eside upon. At the moment they ae on a Wester Digital My Book, attached by USB to my TimeCapsule. I have just ordered a larger La Cie drive to put them on and plan to attach this to my iMac directly, by Firewire (I don't have a Thunderbolt iMac). The TimeCapsule is attached to the iMac by Ethernet cable.
I know the best way to move an iTunes library is to point the library at the new location and then 'Organise Library' from the File menu. I suspect this will take a while, with so much data to transfer. I am wondering if I would be better to attach both drives to my computer directly and transfer the files across, then point the iTunes library at the new location - would this work? It is vital that whatever I do keeps all the metadat intact, as I spent ages tagging all my DVDs. I don't care about play counts and my Playlists can easily be remade, so I don't mind losing them.
Any advice is gatefully received,
Steve

I have a 270 gig iTunes folder and a 260gig Iphoto Library and used this technique to massively speed up the transfer to an external USB3 drive. It uses terminal commands i found here:
http://www.cnet.com/au/news/using-the-os-x-terminal-instead-of-the-finder-to-cop y-files/
I used this command successfully to achieve 3 GB per minute transfer.
First open Terminal app (easy to find in spotlight)
Type the following noting that all content in () is an instruction for you to complete or a spacebar between text. "c (space) -av (space) (drag source folder directory onto open terminal app window) /* (space) (drag destination folder onto open terminal app window) /"
Your transfer should begin
NOTE: If you are using this for your iPhoto or Aperture libraries there are many index files containing meta data of your photos. This may appear to not transfer large amounts of data while transferring these files before getting to the .jpg or .RAW files. Don't worry, be patient, once these are done the speed will pick up considerably.
I hope this helps,
Matthew

Best way to move Mail, Contacts, and Calendars

I'm adding an additional server to my network to distribute some of my services and I would like to move the mail, contacts, and calendar services to this new server. It will be a ML machine running 10.8.5 with Server 2.2.1. I have these services already running on another server also running ML 10.8.5 and server 2.2.1.
What's the best way to move the data between these two machines? Any suggestion are greatly appreciated!

Mail: mailboxes from /Library/Server/Mail/Data/mail can be moved using command line
- Note the correspondence between mailbox folder name(hexadecimal) and user name, can be extracted using Directory tool)
- Also if u want to have the same username - hexa key maybe you should export the OD. Personally I would just rename old folder to new hexa key)
- Do not forget to also check(mimic) the folder group/owner rights
Calendar&Contacts: Use Export and Import.
I honestly think this are the best ways (fast&clean).
Also I think they are safe, mail 100% is transferred and for Calendar&Contacts I am not aware of any data that can be lost during export-import.
(of course you can also replicate your server using DiskUtility create new image, and then deactivate unwanted services)

What is the best way to move data from one array to another

I'm going to be moving data from one array to a larger array on the same RAID but different controller. (I have some extra extra drives I'm also going to be installing Retrospect so I can't just restore from a backup.)
The RAID has 450GB of production files, fonts etc.
What is the best way to move the data over?
I saw that someone had suggested using ditto. Would that be better than MacMV?
I also own Bru LE so I could use that.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Paul

Ditto is a great option -- probably the best.
ditto -rsrc src_folder /Volumes/targetvolume/targetfolder

Best way to move Library?

Hi can someone tell me the best way to move my entire Library to a new external drive so that I can get it off my mac's HD and free up the 160GB its using?
It contains all of out business images so its extremely important that I loose nothing, keep all the project structures and make the transition as smooth as possible.
I will be able to use the external HD in the same every day way with Aperture as I did the internal one wont I? and is firewire 800 or SATA best connection?

Move all your masters to the new location. You will then, in Aperture, see the little yellow triangle telling you that the referenced image’s master has not been found.
Select all images, go to: 'File' > 'Manage Referenced Files...' and you will see that all images are listed in red. In the lower part of the dialog, navigate to the new location of the masters and select one of them. Then select the corresponding one in the top part of the dialog.
Click the "Reconnect All" button and Aperture will reconnect each master.
Also, take a look at the answers in this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8156643
eSATA II is faster than FW800.

What is the best way to move Contacts onto the iPhone?

Hi Guys,
I currently have Nokia N82, usually when i get a new Nokia (since am a TOO loyal customer) i just take a backup from the previous one and add it to the new one when i get! i hate copying to/from SIM...
Now when i want to get the iPhone what is the best way to move the Contacts??
i use a Windows machine, STILL!

For the couple of iPhones I have access to, you've got three methods to get contacts onto the device aside from moving them onto the SIM; I have found that copying to and from SIMs can leave data fields not totally aligned.
(1) Via a cloud. One uses MobileMe (via iCal/Address Book entries) and the second uses an Exchange-based cloud. Both seem to work pretty well, although I do experience an occasional lag from time to time.
(2) Via a sync on a desktop. My preferred method. Connecting to iCal/Address Book>iTunes or Outlook 2007>iTunes work very well. My only issue was that Outlook didn't work as I'd expected the first time, just as with a couple of other phones in the past (it never did work with my Motorola Z9); to "fix" the issue, I simply refreshed Outlook's contacts and rebooted Outlook - I actually had to do the same thing with iCal to "blow out the pipes" and both sync conduits work fine now.
(3) Transfer Contacts to the iPhone via email using a vCard for each contact. I use version 3.0-compatible vCard files generated from Address Book or Entourage (Mac), Outlook or just about what my business contacts generate. Just about every platform has some unique data type, but I haven't received a vCard yet the iPhone can't handle via email.
Getting your Contacts out of the iPhone. Option (1) or (2) - that's it AFAIK. I hope this helps you out!

Best way to move files to external drive in LR 5. Drag and drop or export, if drag and drop

Best way to move files to external drive in LR 5. Drag and drop or export, if drag and drop can I put all the dated folders into one single folder

Drag and drop should do the job. Or move the files (or folders) in your operating system and then re-link via http://www.computer-darkroom.com/lr2_find_folder/find-folder.htm
Yes, you can put all the dated folders into a single folder (but if you plan to do this, then don't try move the files using your operating system and re-link)
Export most definitely isn't the solution.
