Create new folder in iphoto before download so as not to crowd the library

ok - getting frustrated - just installed iphoto 6 - hoping that it would be easier = more direct when I download from memory card... no luck.
Problem: I created now Folder on left hand side... under library/last roll/last 12 month... wanted to drag the new photos from the memory card but no no.no... the photo was downloaded to "library" rather than the folder I wanted to - the desired folder staayed empty...oh ... please give me some good suggestions.. how to do this.. fast and quick - the reason why I bought this program - iLife'06 - in the first place...

Library contain ALL photos. This is the way it is from within iPhoto as files are actually structured into 'Roll' folders on disk. See <~/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Data/...> I too struggled on the very same issue as you... this is actually frustrating to say the least (bad first steps in..) but I have found a clever way around: Say hello to Smart Albums!
Next time you import a roll into iPhoto make use of the "Roll Name" field. Second, select New Smart Album from File menu, give it a meaningful and unique name then Match the following conditions: Roll, Contain, "Roll Name" you gave just before import from camera. This will generate an album featuring only this one roll.
In short:
First, give the Roll a name before you hit "import" button.
(see link 1 bellow)
Second, create a new Smart Album: Roll, Contain, <"
(see link 2 bellow)
Remember Library will always contain ALL your Photos. This is the master album.

HT2476 Why when clicking the right mouse button for my external hard drive there is no option for "create new folder"?

Hi there. I'm having a problem with my external hard drive. Actually with only one of them (others seem to be ok...). The problem is that when clicking the right mouse button (or using other ways to do the same), in the drop-down list there isn't an option for "create new folder". Please, can anyone help with this issue?

The drive is NTFS formated. Most probably that's the reason, but there is some info on the drive which I wouldn't like to loose. If there is a way to re-format the drive and save the files, that would be great. If there isn't such a way, then please, tell me how to re-format it. But bear in mind as well that I'm using Parellels and the drive is to be used in Mac and Win modes, both. Just to add some more info: my other drive is FAT32 formated and all seems to go well with it.

New folder in iphoto

I created a new folder in iphoto to transfer some photos from the iphoto library.
1. after transferring to the new folder why is the photo still in the library?
2. why is it that when i delete the photo in the library, the same photo in the new folder is deleted too?
3. how should i minimise the photos in the iphoto library then? because too many photos will slow down the start up of iphoto

First, you should these two Apple KB documents, particularly the second one:
iPhoto Library Description
Don't tamper with files in the iPhoto Library folder from the Finder
The folder you're creating (and showing up in the Source window) is called an album and is just an tool for organizing photos within iPhoto. It will only contain aliases to the real photos in the main library. Aliases take up very little disk space, about 4kb. You can delete a photo from an album without removing it from the library but, as you've found out, if you delete a photo from the main library all instances of that photo will be removed.
To help speed up the startup of iPhoto keep all the rolls closed except when your working in iPhoto. To open or close all at the same time just Command or Option click on one roll and the all will either open or close.
When you're working in iPhoto if your keep the size down, maybe no more that 5 per row, that will facilitate speedier operation. Also turn off the drop shadow option in iPhoto's preferences.
By minimizing the photos if you mean deleting some to save HD space, about the only thing you can do is to use iPhoto Diet to remove the original file of those you've edited. The danger to that, however, is if you've cropped a file to a smaller size for a particular reason and you remove the original, you can never regain the full size file for other purposes. If the edit is only for red eye or something that does not change the size and you're absolutely satisfied with that version then removing the original would not be limiting.
If you're looking to regain some real estate on your HD here's a couple of things you can do:
1 - run either Cache Out, OnyX or Mac Sweeper to clean out the various cache and archived log files.
2 - run DeLocalizer to remove the unneeded language modules. I saved 900+MB the first time I ran it. It will run under Panther.
Good luck.

Cannot create new folder?

I have just moved to a new hosting and have connected to it
and I can edit files. When I try to add a folder to the remove I'll
get
"An FTP error occured - cannot create new folder .
Access denied. The file may not exist or there could be a
permission problem".
Any idea?

Hi,
Did you make any changes before the issue appears?
Before going further, you may try the
system restore to go back to a previous status and check the result.

Can't create new folder in home folder when saving files

In gnome, when I want to save any file in my home folder, and I want to create a new folder in my own home. The new folder appeares for several minutes and then disappears.
If I create new folder in other directory. There is no such problem.
Also I can create new folder in my own home directory in nautilus or by mkdir.
any one can help me.....
Thanks very much....

I think either way should work OK - it's less of a security risk to use a standard account for "everything", including web browsing, but I confess I don't myself do this. You would again have to authenticate with an admin username/password if you do download and install from the standard account.
Whichever way you do it, this article may be relevant:
*About file quarantine in Mac OS X v10.5 and v10.6*
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3662
It includes the following:
If you have multiple user accounts on your Mac, the user account that downloaded the file is the only user account that can remove the quarantine attribute to the file. All other user accounts can open the quarantine file, but they will be presented with the quarantine dialog box asking "Are you sure you want to open it?" every time they open the file.

Can't create new folder to Applications in standard account

Hi.
As I have two accounts one admin account and other standard account and last time it didn’t work in both.
So I just restored factory settings like described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3910
This fixed the problem.
Now again I can't create new folder to applications but this time it doesn’t work only in my standard account but it does work in admin account.
Previously I downloaded this program to open pdb files :http://www.loghound.com/pordible/
But it didn't work for me so I removed it to Trash. That's when I noticed that the new folder icon in applications isn't active but I can't be sure that this caused it.
I used Disc Utility to repair my macbook pro hard disk using Mac OS X Install DVD but it didn't fix the problem.
Is there any way to fix this problem without restoring factory settings again?

Windows Vista - 'Create New Folder' unavailable

When I 'right-click' in an open area, the drop-down menu no longer includes 'create new folder'

Hi，
As mentioned by
Luigi Bruno , this issue is mostly caused by registry entry corruption, please first backup the registry before you making any changes on registry, because any incorrect modification might cause serious damage.
If you have a restore point, then you can also choos to return PC to a previous state at which everything is working fine (note that you wil lose some recent settings)

Please help.It happens only on few sub sites

Hi V_K04,
You said that it happened only on few sub sites, whether this issue occurred on some subsites, and some subsite worked well.
Please check whether there are some differences between the subsites that worked well and the problematic subsites.
Whether this issue occurred on all libraries and lists on problematic subsites.
Whether there are some customizations in these problematic libraries and lists.
Please create a new library and a new list, test again, compare the result.
BestRegards,

Creating new folder in sharepoint

Hi - I am using Office 2013 and using the "Save as" function in Word want to create a new folder on the SharePoint site. there does not seem to be any way to do this through the "save as" dialog process. The "new folder" option
only seems to be available for saving on the local hard drive. It seems I need to go into file explorer, create a new folder and then go back into Word to save to it.
Thanks - Tim

Hi,
A quick hack for this if you use the same document library over and over is to map a network drive to the library, then when you save to the network drive (and thus the document library) you'll see the new folder option available and working.
A second method, would be to click on the address bar in the save as dialog, remove the "http:" and change "/" to "\". For instance:
http://mysite/personal/iedaddy
would become
\\mysite\personal\iedaddy
and then magically the Organize and New Folder menu bar appears, interestingly this method will also allow you to add new folders even to libaries with the "New Folder" option explicitly turned off.
A similar problem can be found here:

Can't create new folder on an external hard drive, and how to transfer files?

Hello everyone,
the non-English speaking videographer I translate for is having problems operating his Premiere CS5 for Mac from an external hard drive. He cannot create new folder on the external hard drive (the "New Folder" button is grayed-out when tries to export media onto the external hard drive) and when he simply tries to create new folder, the "new folder" option isn't available.
He suspects it's because the hard drive was formatted for PC.
Questions:
- should PC-formatting cause that problem?
- what's the proper way to transfer media files from PC-formatted external hard drive to the internal hard drive on Mac?
Would appreciate your advice.
Dimitri Vorontzov

He is right on the money
Now, for the sad or FAT part. You need to format the drive as FAT32 to make it work both on PC and MAC but, and that is a big BUT, the max file size of any given file will be 4GB. I haven't treid other formats yet, like the journaled MAC OS extended, but I don't think that would work. We transfer our files through or own gigabit network so I never had to try it, other than FAT32 formatted SDHC cards.

Create new folder with selected items

I have a bunch of movies that I would like to place into individual folders of the same name (Without the extension name). I wanted to try and create a keyboard command to do this with the selected files, but can't manage to figure out how!
What I did was try to create a new service command in automator, then went to keyboard shortcuts in system preferences to assign a keyboard command to it.
I want to make something that works like control-command-n (to create new folder from selected items), only I want the items to be in individual folders of the same name.
eg.
Files selected such as:
The incredibles.avi
Cinderella.mkv
Dogma.mp4
each moved into individual folders labeled as:
The Incredibles
Cinderella
Dogma
Also, is there a way to change the control-command-n shortcut so it can create a new folder from a single item? It only works when there is more than one file selected.
Thanks so much for any help!

I am going to guess that you start off with a single file - what are you doing to generate these files? My *Get Names of Finder Items* action can get a name to use in the *New Folder* action - items passed to the New Folder action will get copied to it, so a little more detail may help in creating the workflow.
The *Dispense Items Incrementally* action can also be used to dole out the items one at a time - knowing what the workflow is doing would help with the use of this action as well.

Is there a way to change this validate?
Any help is appriciated.

Hi DK,
I'm not sure about special chars such as ":" but ifyou need to have your folders displaying special language chars (like german chars), have a look into the below link.
