Deleting files which are offline.

What is the best way to get Lightroom to delete files which are offline? I don't use lightroom as a database or DAM - for that i use iMatch. I use lightroom only to process the raws and hate to see the thumb files with a question mark on them when they are really not available locally.
Sometimes i wish lightroom behaves like the photoshop bridge program in that it will display only files that are available but i understand that lightroom does what it does because it also acts as a DAM program - that's why it still keeps the thumb files even though they don't really exist locally. But i don't want to see them if they are not available - is this possible and what's the best way to batch delete all question-marked files? Thank-you. 

Of course doing as John suggests mean all edits, history, snapshots, collection information, virtual copies are gone, gone, gone.
As you've said yourself, Lightroom is a database, not an browser and having access to offline files is a reason why people use Lightroom. Missing file handling could be better, but if you want to files on a missing volume, click on the Volume browser to close the folder view. Of course you'll still see the missing files in collection.

  • How can i restore the files which are important to me which i suddenly delete the files in download?

    i nid to restore the file which i suddenly delete in download.. i was about to delete the files which are not important but i suddenly delete the files which are important... how can i restore it??

    Check the Windows recycle bin, you may be able to recover the files from there. Right-click on the recycle bin icon on the desktop and select Open. This will open Explorer, if the files are listed there, right-click on them and choose Restore.
    If the files are not in the recycle bin, you can try a file recovery utility such as recuva - http://www.piriform.com/recuva

  • How do I copy my old xl files from my XP machine to operate on xl for Mac on my new iMac.  When I copy them onto a stick and transfer them it automatically makes them xls files which are then corrupted when I try to open them in xl for mac

    How do I copy my old xl files from my XP machine to operate on xl for Mac on my new iMac.  When I copy them onto a stick and transfer them it automatically makes them xls files which are then corrupted when I try to open them in xl for mac

    Sorry, yes this is Microsoft Excel.  The Microsoft XP has Excel files denoted as xl, the later versions of Microsoft Excel are denoted as xls files.  The later verions of Microsoft Excel open the xl files OK, does Excel for Mac not able to do this?

  • I'm trying to open files which are telling me to instal Adobe Reader.  Which I did but the agreement which needs to be ticked off so this reader can open doesn't come up.  Please could you be of some assistance.

    Select one of the files, Choose GetInfo from the Finder's File menu, look for the field named "Open With", and choose Preview from the adjacent menu. Accept that ALL such files will Open with Preview, and your major problems should be solved.
    Occasionally, a particularly complex .pdf file or one that needs to be modified and re-written will not work quite right with Preview, but such issues are rare.

  • I have a new Apple TV which is working fine except that I cannot access .mov files which are in my iTunes Library. How can I get to these? I can run them on my computer and select Apple TV on the screen, but the Apple TV goes to a black screen

    Mov is a container format, you'd need to look at the codec used by the movie file inside the container to know whether it will work with the Apple TV or not.

  • How can I send scanned files, which are documents changed from doc to PDF, as documents that can be edited if the recipient doesn't have Adobe capabilities?

    Hi flaviusjack,
    If you still have the .doc files, it might be best to send those to your recipients so they can be edited. Otherwise, you can use ExportPDF to convert the PDF files back to .doc format. But, again, that step would be unnecessary if you have the .doc files.

    You can, but how are you going to back up those other files?  When (not if) your Time Capsule fails, you risk losing them.  See #Q3 in Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule for details.
    Then can i access these files only on the time capsule without connecting it?
    Not sure what you mean.  You have to connect a computer, either via Ethernet cable or wirelessly, to read or write to the disk. 

  • AE: Deleting Initiators which are already tied to request

    Hi All
    Is there a way of deleting initiators which are already tied to requests? We would like clear the system of all initiators if this is not possible is there a way around it! We would like to use attributes assigned to those initiators in new initiators.
    Any assistance will be appreciated!

    Hi there,
    it is possible to delete initiators!
    - find the path the initiator you want to delete is tied to
    - edit the path and check the "detour" box and deactivate the "active" box
    - save the path without an initiator (detours don't need initiators)
    - now you can delete your initiator
    What is not possible is to delete the path (only when deleting the requests with the mentioned script).
    Regards,
    Daniela

    Just as of late I noticed that Apple Stores are selling security cameras that work with their app on an iPhone. Very expensive but it uses both WiFi when local and cellular when not at home.
    In your case I would check the apple store and see if there is a free or paid app to access your home closed circuit TV system. The cameras have to have their own ip address so you then need only enter that and access will be available to you. But they must be on your home network.
    a lot of the higher end CCTV systems have a free app that can be used like the new Apple Security system.
    Just Google it or check the store.
    Good Luck

  • The Refiner Result type: When refine by result type: PDF or Zip sometimes files which are images are shown (not pdf or zip)

    Hi,
    We use Search Refiners and there is a strange problem: when we refine by the Refiner Result type: Zip and PDF we also get files which are gif files.
    keren tsur

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you get the gif files sometimes when you refiner the Result Type PDF or ZIP.
    I try to do this test in my environment, however, the result is I get the corresponding PDF file and don’t get the gif files by Refiner the PDF Result Type in Search Center.
    Do you get all gif files by the Refiner Result Type: PDF or ZIP in Search Center?
    And, do you see these gif files under the Refiner Result Type: Image?
    I recommend that you can try to respectively type the “PDF”, “ZIP” and “gif” in search box to compare the search results.
    Also, you can try to go to SharePoint 2013 Central Administration, click “Search Service Application” in “Manage service application”, click the “Index Reset” to reset all crawled content, then start Full Crawl again.

  • I am testing a Sony a7r, shooting RAW.  I can't seem to import the files (which are .awr) into my Lightroom 4. Anybody know what options I have?  Thanks!

    I am testing a Sony a7r, shooting RAW.  I can't seem to import the files (which are .awr) into my Lightroom 4. Anybody know what options I have?  Thanks!

    Support was added by Adobe for this camera model in LR 5.3 and ACR 8.3. see the link below.
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    You can download the latest trial version of LR 5 the current version is 5.7.1 and use tor 30 days.
    The other option is to download the latest Adobe DNG Converter (version 8.7.1) for free and convert the Sony .arw files to dng format and they will work fine with LR 4.
    Make sure you retain the original copies of the .arw files.  

  • Indexing and Searching pdf files which are used as attachment in an Announcemnet list item

    Hi all,
    I am using a SharePoint 2013 online environment and trying to search and find pdf files which are attached to a announcement list item. However it does not find anything when I search for the name of the pdf file or the content of the pdf file.
    When I attach a word to the list item it gets indexed and it find the file.
    thanks and appreciate every kind of advice.

    Are you able to search for pdfs in other locations? SharePoint 2013 comes with an iFilter out of the box unlike 2010 which needed configuration.

  • XI System should pick up 5 five files which are in 5 different folders

    Hi Friends ,

    What are the things I can do to solve the issue.
    Please provide me answer with screen shots if possible.
