Can Lightroom references files in a network folder? And can multiple people all share a Lightroom catalog?
I would like to use Lightroom 5 at work to organize and manage photos. There are 10 people that consistently access the photos and videos. All of the photos and videos are on a network folder/drive. Is it possible for all 10 people to have a copy of Lightroom on their computers and then have a single catalog that all of the computers references? I guess the first question is whether Lightroom can references files on a network folder (if not than my first question isn't really relevant). If it is possible, what happens if two people (or more) have Lightroom open at the same time? Does that cause problems with the database? Please let me know if there is some way to make this work. Thanks..
Photos can be stored on Network Drives.
Catalog files cannot be stored on Network drives, and there is no way to allow multi-user access.
If you need multi-user access, you might want to consider software that allows multi-user access, such as Daminion. (Note: I am not endorsing Daminion, as I have never used it. I simply state that it claims to have a feature you are asking about)

I am trying to delete an XLS file from a network drive and am getting a message that says the file cannot be deleted because it is in use. I can't see where it is in use and have tried to reboot the computer to no avail. I can delete other files but several XLS files are giving me this message.
You said it was a network drive. So is someone else on the network using that same file or may have have left with excel still accessing it on their system?

I need a perl script (or something else better) which monitors a network folder and sends email when new files/folders arrived. I tried it in Automator but failed.
Thanks!Yes. I tried it. But whenever I restart m Mac, the watch folder doesn't work until I reconnect to network or run the Automator... I need a simple system that automatically connects to the network and monitor the folder, even I restart the Mac.
Thanks! -

For the D600 NEF's you have two alternatives: (1) Upgrade to PSE 11. (2) Download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software) Windows download click here DNG Converter 7.3 Mac download click here DNG Converter 7.3 You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click.

Comparing count and combined file sizes of specific file types in target folder and subfolders
Hi all,
I have a script that I use to delete files with a certain file extension in a folder and its subfolders. I would like to enhance to the script by counting the total number of files and their combined size in MB that the script is deleting and use this information
in a popup where a message will say something like "X No. Files deleted totalling YMB
The existing script so far is:
get-childitem -include *.****.rfa -recurse | foreach ($_) {remove-item $_.fullname}
Can any advise what I need to add as I'm quite new to powershell.
ThanksSo you do not know how to write a simple output statement. I think you need to start here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/scriptcenter/dd793612.aspx
Not specifically within Powershell no, like I said I only started looking at it this week as an alternative to VBS.
Nothing is being declared. You need to learn the basics of PowerShell. We cannot teach you one line at a time.
Really? So the author of
this website is talking rubbish is he? ("Once data is assigned to a PowerShell variable, it’s automatically declared.")
I never asked for line-by-line hand holding nor am I someone who wants others to write the entire code for me. Examples of previous scripts that perform similar or partial operations would have been a good way to guide a new user unfamiliar to this topic.
Additionally posting modified(incorrect) and unfinished script examples without clearly stating what your code is doing nor that additional lines of code need to be added before the script will operate as outlined in the original post is confusing to someone
with 0 experience in this area.
On forums I frequent that are relevant to subjects which I have good experience with, whenever I respond to a genuine query of that has an example of what they are trying to create/modify, I will happily provide a full example and/or explain what I
have done so the OP understands exactly what I did to achieve their request in my example. For someone with your points tally (and likely a respected poster amongst your peers on this site) responding with what is essentially "RFTM Noob" I trust you can understand
is somewhat disappointing. -
How to upload a text file from a shared folder and provide an o/p
how to upload a text file from a shared folder and provide an o/p containing the details in each order in the text file
Hi,
Use <b>GUI_UPLOAD</b> to upload a text file from a shared folder.
Use <b>GUI_DOWNLOAD</b> to download data in a file on the presentation server or use <b>OPEN DATASET, TRANSFER</b> and <b>CLOSE DATASET</b> statements to download data to the application server.
Now, I hope the code for data fetching, if required, is already present in the report.
Reward points if the answer is helpful.

HT204053 Can multiple people use the same Apple ID for their own devices?
Can multiple people use the same Apple ID for their own devices? I just set up my IPhone 4S (first time user) using the same Apple ID as my daughters and now we receive each others texts, do I need to set up my own Apple ID account?
Yes, you can. In fact it's recommended that you use different IDs for iMessage, FaceTime and iCloud. You can still share the same ID for iTunes without any issues.
You are getting each other's text messages because you're using the same ID for iMessage. To fix this, one of you should go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign in with a different ID. To avoid getting each other's FaceTime calls, do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime. -

How can I save a file in the Downloads folder and automatically have it opened?
Often, I'd like to download a file, save it to my Downlaods folder and have it opened right away.
Currently, you can only decide between the two options "open" or "save to...". There's seemlingly no way Firefox can do both at once.
I know I can download it, open the downloads manager and open it manually. But when working with over a dozen documents a day, that doesn't quite do the trick.
In Chrome, you only have to click twice: Once for downloading and once for opening it from the download bar on the bottom of the screen. You do not have to open a download manager.Yeah, thanks but that's not what I was trying to ask.
I know that you can save and open a document by performing these three steps:
1. Confirming to save a file to the Downloads folder
2. Open the download manager by clicking the temporarily green arrow
3. Clicking on the downloaded file
What I would like to know is whether or not it is possible to have Firefox open a saved file ''automatically''. At the moment, if I choose to open it automatically, it is only saved to my temp folder.
It would be great though if it was saved to my Downloads folder ''and'' opened with the respective program on my pc. Is there a way to do this? -
Walk through all files in a folder and do this for all subfolders and...
... and their subfolders, etc. I mean I want to recursively walk through all subfolders of a folder and when I'm "in" in each folder I would like to walk through all files alphabetically of that folder.
While iterating through the files (of a certain type: .mp3, .mp4, .m4a) of that folder, I need to make a simple counter. e.g. when counter is 3 it means we are on the 3rd file alphabetically of the folder.
Then I simply want to set the track # mp3 tag of that file to this counter value (e.g. 3)
Anyone know how to do this? or at least to be able to show me the walking the folders and iterating the files bit? I'm brand new to applescript.
Why do I want to do this? Well I have a lot of live music shows, each in its own folder, but in my apple devices and itunes when I play a show it will not show the songs in the correct order. The file names are alphabetical in the correct order though and I suspect if I assign track #s then itunes, ipods and iphones will be able to play the "album" back in the order listed by track #??What are you using to play your items? iTunes can use various properties to sort a playlist, independent of what the file name is (Finder too, for that matter). If you are just wanting to add a prefix number to a file name, you would also probably need to use leading zeros to keep it in order when sorted by name.
The following is a general purpose handler to go through the items in a folder - I just put various text into the output list as an example.
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px; height: 340px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #FFEE80;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor">
on run -- example
set TheFolders to (choose folder with multiple selections allowed)
choose from list (ProcessStuff from TheFolders)
end run
to ProcessStuff from SomeItems
process items contained in SomeItems, recursively descending the directory tree
parameters - SomeItems [list]: the items to process
returns [list]: a list of processed items
set FilesList to {} -- this will be a list of processed items
repeat with AnItem in SomeItems
set AnItem to AnItem as text -- get the contents
set FileInfo to (info for AnItem as alias) -- see Standard Additions
if (folder of FileInfo) and not (package folder of FileInfo) then -- a folder (not a package)
-- do something with the folder, if desired
set the end of FilesList to "folder " & AnItem
try -- sort and process contents, skipping any errors
tell application "Finder"
set SubItems to (get items of folder AnItem)
set SubItems to (sort SubItems by name) as alias list
end tell
set FilesList to FilesList & (ProcessStuff from SubItems)
end try
else -- a file
-- do something with the file, if desired
set the end of FilesList to tab & (name of FileInfo)
end if
end repeat
return FilesList
end ProcessStuff

I have lightroom catalog setup on my desktop (iMac). But, I would like to edit photos from my new MacBook Air when I have the free time. How do I set this up so that any edits done on my laptop sync with my desktop catalog?
Craig:
In the future you might look into an external FW hard drive from which you can operate the library. Then, if you need to move it to another machine just unplug the drive and and plug it in to the other Mac. For the MacBook Air you'd probably want a small (physical size) buss powered drive that would be an easy travel mate.
For future projects, particularly books, consider creating a separate library for it. You can assemble the photos you want in it in an album in your primary library and use iPhoto Library Manager to copy that album to the project library. They are often small enough that then can be copied to a flash drive for transfer to other Macs.

Unable to share files when in a IM convo with multiple people Lync 2013
Hello,
I'm in the middle of a migration from lync server 2010 to lync server 2013. The users I have migrated over to lync 2013 are not able to send/share attachments when in a convo with multiple people.
However, users can send/share files when IM'ing with individual people.
I've been researching this issue for quite some time but still having a problem pinpointing the issue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.Hi,
Did the issue also happen between users who still in Lync server 2010 pool?
Did the issue happen internal or external?
Please double check if MCU on Lync 2013 FE server works well, when two participants are connected, the session is essentially peer-to-peer. When three or more participants are connected, the Sharing feature depends on the Front End Server Multi Point Control
Unit (MCU) to provide the sharing stream to all parties.

I got my new iPhone 5 Last Friday. However I can not activate facetime on the new iPhone 5. All other function work well.
I used my apple ID and always get the below message " Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again".
My network work well. I can access internet, apple store with no issue via wi-fi or AT&T 4G. No password issue as I can use the same apple ID register other access and apple store.
I noticed that many users are complaining the facetime after upgrading to iOS6. Not sure if this is the reason?
Any one here can help on this?
ThanksFacetime is accessed through Contacts or Messages. The only place you will find anything else in is Settings, where you would activate it. There is no stand alone app for Facetime like on the iPod or iPad.

Can multiple people post on the same shared photo stream?
Is there a way to have multiple people post on the same shared photo stream?
My cousin would like to have a single shared photo stream where we can both post photos on it and comment, instead of having two separate shared photo streams.
We think that there should be an option for the album creator to give access to anyone he/she shares it with to enable them to also post pics on the same stream.The only link I have is to manage your team account http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1460939?tstart=0
