Delete all image collections

I am looking for a way to delete all image collections from the Collections tab. Is this possible with a custom javascript for Br?

#target bridge
#engine main
app.bringToFront();
if ( BridgeTalk.appName == 'bridge' ) {
  var toolMenu = MenuElement.find( 'Tools' ),
  ojo = new MenuElement( 'command', 'Remove All Collections', '-at the end of toolMenu', 'ojodegato001');
ojo.onSelect = function () { removeAllCollections(); }
function removeAllCollections() {
  var collects = app.getCollections();
  for ( var i = collects.length-1; i >= 0; i-- ) {
  app.deleteCollection( collects[i] );
OK if you add this one to you user scripts folder… It should give you a NEW custom option at the end of the tools menu… Click n run there…

  • In finder do I need to delete all images as I have over 10000

    in finder do I need to delete all images as I have over 10000

    Depends on the size of your hard drive.
    Good practice indicates keeping at least 15% (or 5GB, whichever is larger) of the hard drive unused, to allow the OS to use it for swap files, virtual memory needs, etc. When your drive gets more full than that odd things can start happening - sluggish behavior, program crashes, etc.
    If you are short of hard drive space, by all means dispose of as many files as you can which you don't need on that drive. Either archive them off and then trsh the originals; or just trash the ones you no longer need. Don't forget to empty the trash after dropping things into it - until the trash has been emptied, anything placed in it is not yet gone.
    If you are not short of hard drive space, don't worry about it. Just becuase you have a lot of files means little - it is the effect of the space they occupy, not the quantity, that may be of concern.
    I have over 50,000 image files on my Snow Leopard volume. They occupy about 29GB of drive space. Since that volume has about 500GB of capacity, the space those files consume is not of concern. There is no deleterious effect resulting from their presence on the drive.

  • Deleting all images from iPhone (ios 6.1.4)

    I am currently trying to delete all the images from my phone to clear space for other applications.
    (Transferring them to my computer was an excruciating process and actually forced me to purchase an external program, but I digress.)
    I can't delete photos at all in the iPhone photos app. Going edit > select photo > delete causes the Photos app to crash every time. This happens whether I have selected one or more than one photos. I have restarted the app (double tap home button and delete the app from the fold-up menu) several times, but the problem recurs when I try again. In any case, I have over 37,000 photos so this would be a horribly inefficient way to do it.
    Key things to note
    1) I only have Windows 7 on my PC. Therefore, I cannot use any mac related programs like iPhoto to mass delete images.
    2) Windows explorer is unable to consistently recognize my iPhone. I have gone into device manager many times and reinstalled the driver, and attempted other fixes I found off of Google, but alas for past several months I have not been able to get it to recognize the iPhone as a camera or as anything at all. As of recent weeks, the iPhone does not even show up in the list of external devices plugged into the computer regardless of driver reinstallation, and only my external HDD appears.
    3) Back in the past when the Autoplay window did show up, there was never an option to import pictures and videos- furthermore, selecting the sole 'open device to view files' simply showed me a series of blank folders in my iPhone.
    At that time, I already had had my settings set to show hidden files and folders, so I was mystified that windows explorer insisted no files were present in the folders when there were quite obviously photos on my phone.
    I am unable to import photos using windows explorer. As such, this fix cannot be used: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    I am very disappointed at how nonfunctional the interaction between Windows and Apple devices has become. In the past, I was able to import pictures from my iphone 4S this same PC using windows explorer's autoplay popup, and it is sad that this is unsupported with the  iPhone 5.
    4) iTunes, which is on the same computer, does recognize the iPhone. I can sync perfectly fine.
    5) Very few of the images have been imported from my computer. Most of them were taken or saved on the phone itself, so removing sync of photos from the sync process doesn't do anything.
    6) There are no photos on Photo Stream or Photo Library, because I only recently found out about these features (1-2 days ago researching solutions). All 37,000+ photos are in Camera roll. This means that I cannot turn off Photo stream and have the pictures disappear like in this fix. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5099543?start=0&tstart=0
    Given all of this information and my limitation in options, how do I delete all of the images on my phone efficiently?

    Incidentally, restoring the phone to factory settings is not a viable solution because I have a lot of apps, notes and other material which I do not wish to lose and would not be stored in a backup.

  • Deleting all images in iPhoto in Desktop

    I have deleted all photos in iPhoto thinking the images would be deleted from the "Desktop" section in Systems Perferences. Did not happen.  The imags are still there! How do I delete the images/photos under the iPhoto menu in desktop?  To be very speciic...the images remain in Events, Photos, Last Import, Last 12 Months, even though those images/photos have been deleted in the iPhoto application.
    Any advice, most appreciated.

    The actual images are stored in your photo library, events, last import, etc. merely contain pointers to the actual images, they are not duplicates. Just took a minute to refresh, that's all.

  • Deletes all images with same name

    Why is it impossible to simply move images from one folder to the other, rather than having to go through the lengthy and awkward process of exporting them to another folder and deleting the originals. In addition, I just had the unpleasant experience that when there are JPG copies with the same name still in the folder with the original RAW images, the JPG are also deleted.
    Image management is still a headache in LR. WQhy not use the Bridge folder structure. Why not simply pick up an image and put it in another folder?

    I guess the answer is because that is the way
    Adobe designed I/O to the DB--which is the core of LR, and as such is always talked about by them in sacrosanct terms. They did make some small changes from 1.0 to 1.1--but far short of what they should have done IMO.
    There are better ways to do things, but Adobe is very reluctant to make substantial changes to LR Library to give it the I/O functionality of Bridge or other 'browser' type applications. My guess is that it is not going to change significantly with respect to this issue any time soon.
    I simply do those functions that Bridge does better in Bridge--PS in PS, LR in LR, etc. But, I don't buy into the myth that 'one app does it all' ,so I am not in the slightest disappointed, and I use the best tools out there in different apps and combine them into an effective workflow. If you look at LR in that light, you may be less frustrated.

  • Aperture installation deleted all image files from MacBook Pro.

    After installing Aperture 3, I noticed that all the image files I had on my MacBook Pro immediately disappeared. These were stored in various locations throughout my computer depending on subject (e.g. "Emergency Response Training", "Summer 2009", "Car Restoration" and so on). A small number were in the "Pictures" folder but most were kept in other locations. All the folders and subfolders where these images were stored are intact but the images are gone. There is simply a "thumbs.db" file inside and the folder size is about 6 kb on average.
    I did nothing other than install Aperture (no importing or library creation) and none of these images or folders are in the Aperture library. A similar thing happened with iPhoto where all my iphoto thumbnails show up but there appears to be no actual photo. No images prior to Aperture installation appear anywhere on the Macbook using tailored queries with "Find". 
    Apple support indicated that Aperture would not search out these photos unless prompted and would never delete them but It's hard to imagine how else this could have happened, as it happened only during installation (subsequent photos are fine) and targeted all image files in every location. Hard drive is new and indicates no problems.
    Any ideas what might have happened - and, more importantly, how I might be able to recover the missing images? Unfortunately, my upgrade to Lion obliterated my DNS 321 back up disk, as well, and I don't yet know if I can recover those files.
    Thanks for any help you can offer.

    Apple support claimed it was impossible for Aperture to delete files, as well, Allen. All I can tell you is I installed Aperture and the files immediately disappeared. I installed Aperture with the intention of learning its capabilities over the ensuing months, as I had never used it before, and so made sure to do nothing but install and launch so I could have a look at it and see how it was set up.
    The network hard drive obliteration occured when I was trying to transfer novie files from my Macbook to my DNS 321 network drive, which I use to store all my backups and most of my media files. I've done this countless times with Snow Leopard without a hitch. However, when I tried it with Lion the system locked up during the transfer and I lost my connection to the drive. Once I managed to reconnect, I found that I couldn't get into the folders on the network drive anymore. All that would come up was a "My Documents" folder, which had no content. After doing a websearch I discovered that Lion no longer supports DNS 321 and that others with similar style drives had been having similar problems. What might be unique to my situation was that when I hooked up an old PC to the DNS 321 I was able to get back into my original folder set up but I found that the folders labelled from (A to J) were missing entirely and that the remaining folders had no content.
    So, as I mentioned in my first post, the only input from me was installation and launch of Aperture and the only thing I was doing with my network drive was transferring movie files from the Macbook to the DNS 321 drive. If neither of those actions could possibly have caused the problems I described, I'd be very eager to learn what did.

  • Is there an app that lets me delete all images from the camera roll at once?

    It is unbelievably ******** that apple doesn't offer an intuitive way of selecting all photos in the camera roll to facilitate deleting them. Is there an app that provides this funtionality?
    Think about how common the task of deleting images can be... I take multiple pictures of a moment, object, scene etc because I know the focus will be wrong on a few and the colors or lighting will be different even for photos taken consecutively within a short period of time (because of differences in how the camera is held and other constantly changing variables.) I only want to keep one of the many photos I take and don't want to waste storage on the other bad pictures. Additionally I would prefer to not have them lingering around such that they can be forgotten and then inadvertantly shared or whatever.
    If Apple won't do the right thing and add this functionality then I assume someone else has written an app and fixed it for them...so is my intution correct? And if so what is the name of this app?

    The iPhoto app provides the capability to delete all the photos in the Camera Roll.

  • I deleted all images on my computer and they deleted from my hard drive as well. Is there any way to restore them to their original place?

    I have roughly 22,000 photos on my external hard drive, and when I deleted all the photos from my computer after copying them to my hard drive, they deleted from the external hard drive as well. When I look in my trash, I have 22,000 ish photos in there, but when I plug in my external hard drive, I have 44,000 ish. Is there any way I can restore my photos from the trash on my hard drive to the folders they were taken from?

    You can drag them out of the trash folder to wherever you wish. There is no automatic way to restore them.
    If you have a recent backup of your computer (at the risk of preaching, everyone should have one), restore them from there.
    Barry
    P.S. I have no clue what you did or why you have 44,000 on the external drive

  • Deleting all text boxes and images on one layer

    I am designing a 240 page book where nearly every page contains at least one image and at least one text box.  The book will be printed with a varnish (a fifth plate) on every image.
    The printer has instructed me to set up the varnish in the following way in InDesign:
    With the finished book, make a duplicate layer.
    Delete all text boxes on the new layer (including page numbers)
    Delete all images (but not their containers) on the new layer
    Fill all the empty image containers with 100% black
    I have done this previously with an even bigger book, and it did of course take several hours, and it's also easy to make mistakes. So I thought it might be possible to do this with a script - only problem is I know nothing about scripting - so I wonder if someone would be willing to help me out?
    Thanks in advance! Using ID CS5.5, win xp pro sp3.

    Hi Both,
    I am having a similar problem.
    I have to extract all images to a new layer, without modifying the size of the container.
    As long as I am not an expert in scripting I have tried to do a simple code to obtain all links and go to its parent to change its itemlayer property to the new layer. But it is not what I am looking for and it has not work.
    The layout of the current layer is based in tables, so images are anchored objects inside table cells, so when I run the simple script I mentioned I also get errors becuase it says the items are grouped. And even if I first run a script to ungroup everything I get the error.
    I would appreciate help.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Delete All photos ios7

    Ive ran out of space on my iPhone 5 due to all my photos I have on there.  I have imported them to my Mac via iPhoto, which at the time gave me the option to delete my imported photos from my iPhone.  I chose yes.
    However the photos still remain in my iPhone, and I don't perticularly was to go through 1000+ photos clicking them all (there is no "select all" option) and delete them manually.
    How can I clear my photos off my iPhone?
    Regards.

    Thanks - the part with " Image Capture" App works fine.
    On iOS7 the described option is no available so there doesn't seem to be an easy way to delete all images.

  • How do I delete all photos from iOS7 iPhone

    I have about 40GB of videos and images on my iPhone.
    How can I delete all of them at once?

    Thanks - the part with " Image Capture" App works fine.
    On iOS7 the described option is no available so there doesn't seem to be an easy way to delete all images.

  • Image capture deleted all my photos from iPhone without transferring them to the harddisk. So now I've lost 427 photos due to some data error it says. Please help me get my pictures back!?!

    I just wanted to back up my photos since I haven't done so since October 5th. I plugged in my iPhone and let Image Capture transfer the selected photos to the designated folder. Accidently I hit 'Import All but that's not the biggest problem. Apparently I had "Delete all after transfer" on AND 427 photos apparently "failed to transfer" as it said. I didn't think it was such a big problem, but then I noticed : what the ****.The delete all option was ON and now ALL my photos are gone, from the iPhone and NOT on the computer. Except a list of some old pictures I already have three backups and from the new ones between Oct 5 and this day I have a random selection >><!!!
    So please help me! How do I get my pictures back? iPhone Data recovery? Please please help. There are so many nice memories of this month and I'm so ****** that this just happened!

    If you have iCloud backup turned on or if you have recently backed up via iTunes you could restore the phone from either of those sources. Camera Roll photos are included in those backups. Be aware that doing a restore will replace the contents of the phone with the contents of the backup so you would lose anything new on the phone since the last backup. Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support

  • How can I delete all the files in the Adobe CS4 Master Collection from my machine?

    How can I delete all the files in the Adobe CS4 Master Collection from my machine. I have tried Control Panel but it will not do anything, there are no error messages, it is like as if it is ignoring my instruction. Why should it be so difficult to delete programs one does not want. Any ideas please.

  • HT2638 I believe i deleted all the images on my macbook but when i scroll in iphoto, i can see the images until i stop then there gone or corrupt. Is there a way of getting these images back??

    I thought i had a back up but i had that hard drive plugged in when i was deleting from the all images folder and didn't think it would grab from there.

    Make a temporary, backup copy (select the library and type Command+D) and  apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4 as needed.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Can I delete all of the images in "All Images" without losing any originals?

    Can I delete all of the images in "All Images" without losing any original photos? Thank you.

    Simply: iPhoto is a database. Like all databases it requires that you manipulat the data via the tools provided and not through backdoors. If you delete matter managed by iPhoto (or for that matter, any database) through some other means then the database will be unaware of the deletions. The database will not reflect the changes and you'll have significant issues going forward with iPhoto.
    So, to be really, really clear: if you delete Photos managed by iPhoto via the All Images search you will corrupt your Library.
    It's your computer, your images and your iPhoto. You have the information, you decide how to use it.
    Regards
