Duplicate folders created

I am a new Aperture 3 user and after doing the Apple Pro Training set aperture as my default program for new photo's. Each time I import a new set of photo's a duplicate folder is created in my documents. (I assume these are duplicates since I import into my aperture library). Can these folders be removed?

In the Aperture Pro Training book in the lessons on import they have you create a backup of your images on import (pg 183). The lesson has you backup your images to the Documents folder. I'm betting you still have that turned on.
If you don't want the backups you can delete them but making a backup on import is a great feature.

Duplicate folders being created within folders

I am noticing that since we started using Contribute on our
website that duplicate folders are being created within the folder.
For example - I have a folder called Ministries. Inside Ministries
are three subfolders - Peru, Brazil & Mexico. I'll go in to
upload a page to the Mexico subfolder and find that the entire
Ministries folder has been duplicated inside the Ministries folder.
So instead of looking like this:
Ministries -
Peru
Brazil
Mexico
It looks like this:
Ministries -
Peru
Brazil
Mexico
Ministries
Peru
Brazil
Mexico
Has anyone else encountered this? I haven't been able to find
any coding issues that would account for this. I admit that I
probably just don't know enough to know where to look.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I am unable to reproduce this issue when using Contribute.
Could you please check if that system is infected by any
virus?
Please look the following site:

Lightroom 4.3 Duplicate folders being created on import

Hi, is anyone else gaving issues with duplicate folders being created with Lightroom 4.3 on import?
When I import photos, they go to a folder with a name "XXX" for example.
The folder is in a hierarchy of "2013, March, XXX".
Lightroom creates a folder here and above 2013! It is making a mess of my library.
Also, when I import using Photo Mechanic (great software that just works!) and then do a "synchronize folder" in Lightroom, only 1 photo is transferred.
Is there a fix for these bugs?

It looks to me as though you've fallen victim to the "capitalisation" issue....in your Folders Panel your year folders names have the word "LIBRARY" in capitals, yet in the screenshot of the import dialog you are importing to "LR_Library_2013". I guess at some point you changed the capitalisation, and although the OS doesn't distinguish between the two formats, Lightroom unfortunately does.....so although all the images/sub-folders are within the one actual year folder, Lightroom sees them as two different parent folders.
So which one is the correct format as shown in Win Explorer? I'm guessing the lower-case version? If so, the quickest way to fix this is as follows:
1. Backup your catalog.
2. Create a root level folder on the C drive, call it whatever you want, say "Capitals Fix".
3. Right-click on the "LR_LIBRARY_2013" year folder in the Lightroom Folders Panel and select "Update Folder Location". In the file browser that then opens, browse to and select the "Capitals Fix" folder on the C drive.
4. Don't be alarmed as the 2013 folder will disappear from the Folders Panel, "Capitals Fix" will appear but all the sub-folders that were listed under 2013 will now have "?" marks.
5. Now right-click on "Capitals Fix" in the Folders Panel, and again choose "Update Folder Location". This time browse to and select the correct "LR_Library_2013" folder on the A drive. You may get a "Merge" dialog box, select "Merge" and everything should resolve itself.
6. Repeat if needed for the 2011 and 2012 year folders, though as you're likely not importing into there any longer you may not encounter the problem.

Messaging server 7 duplicate folders

Sun Java(tm) System Messaging Server 7.3-11.01 64bit (built Sep 1 2009)
libimta.so 7.3-11.01 64bit (built 19:54:45, Sep 1 2009)
Using /opt/sun/comms/messaging64/config/imta.cnf (compiled)
SunOS 5.10 Generic_142900-03 sun4v sparc SUNW,SPARC-Enterprise-T5120
After installling messaging server 7 and restoring data (imsrestore), webmail client shows me a draft folder and a Borradores (spanish) folder.
The messenger express client shows both as "Borradores" and just one keeps old messages, but new ones are save in the other one.
The same issue for Sent (Enviados) and Trash (Basura).
Not all users present this problem, and have not found the characteristic that makes the diference.
The ldap entry atributes (related with folder configuration) for a right user (no duplicate folders) is like this:
nswmExtendedUserPrefs: meDraftFolder=Drafts
nswmExtendedUserPrefs: meSentFolder=Sent
nswmExtendedUserPrefs: meTrashFolder=Trash
nswmExtendedUserPrefs: meInitialized=true
And for a wrong user:
nswmExtendedUserPrefs: meSentFolder=Enviado
nswmExtendedUserPrefs: meInitialized=true
nswmExtendedUserPrefs: meDateFormat=0/
nswmExtendedUserPrefs: meColorSet=5
nswmExtendedUserPrefs: mePrevTrash=Papelera
nswmExtendedUserPrefs: meExpungeOnExit=true
nswmExtendedUserPrefs: meViewSize=100
nswmExtendedUserPrefs: meAutoSpell=true
nswmExtendedUserPrefs: meDraftFolder=Drafts
I have tryied changing nswmExtendedUserPrefs attribute from "meSentFolder=Borradores" to "meSentFolder=Draft" without success.
I am not sure where is the problem, messaging configuration or it is a ldap issue.
Any idea will be apreciated, thanks.

adding to what Shane said...
doing this via IMAP is the best bet. If you are moving messages between folders in the same account, you can do that via IMAP and the Message Store will end up doing it all via hard links in the file system rather than actually copying the data. So it should be nice and fast and low impact on your disk space and system. In IMAP, "move" consists of COPY to the destination folder and then flagging the originals as deleted and doing expunge. That will update store.* files and create hard links for the messages in the destination folders, but not copy the message data. You will not need to do any reconstructs.
imsbackup/imsrestore could do it, but will end up copying the data - unless you enable real time relinker - so this method is more load on the system.
And manually moving the files around in the store would require reconstruct and is generally not as good an idea as doing it via IMAP. If you have only a few folders to do this to, then you could do the IMAP commands by hand as easily as you could hack on the store files directly.

Please let me know the solution to delete them not manually . It should not create automatically .Is there a way we can change the path of creation.
Is there a way that once the folfer is create should be automatically deleted once the task is done.
Redundant folders are created in the root of my C drive all the time,

Can I export Bins/folders created in Premiere Pro CS6 to desktop?

Recently I've started a slideshow project in Premire Pro. I organized all the images in Premiere by bins and started the project, although another software (ProShow Producer 5) have come to my attention, and I would like to continue the project in ProShow. Though my bins are organized inside Premiere and it would take me hours to go into the folders and pick out the correct photos again for the new project. My question is, can I export Bins/folders created in Premire to my computer? I know that the folders created in Premire are not real, though is there any pissiblity to duplicate the photos and place them into the bins/folders indicated in Premire? That way I can have all the folders ogranized and ready without the need to do it all again.
Are there any plugins that convert Premire bins into physical files?
Any help would be appriciated.
Thank you.

Sorry, but as Ann says, they are but mere links.
Which is why I generally arrange my clips and other assets into folders on my hard drive before I import them into Premiere Pro. First of all it is faster to import them and second it is faster to archive them.

Searching for Duplicate Folders Task

Hi all,
I have A LOT of duplicate folders on my computer (a backup gone bad) and was wondering if anyone knows of any automator tasks (or how to create one) that will search for all the duplicate folders for me so that I can easily sort them out and delete what isn't needed?
A huge thanks in advance,
Stu

MY system folder, including hidden folders are littered with duplicate folders and files with the suffix (from old Mac) How do I remove them

I have a Macbook Pro running Leopard 10.5.8. I had a problem with my my operating system (my fault, I moved a file I shoudnt have) couldnt boot up but was able to boot up from a backup. I managed to repair my original system except now all the system folders, including hidden folders are littered with duplicate folders and files with the suffix (from old Mac). For the most part the dupes are an exact copy, but not always. I want to remove them to free up space and cant imagine duplicate folders in the /system/library are not hindering my computer. But I dont know where to start and am afraid of doing irreparable damage. Any ideas

If the OS is saying they're in use, they are. That message indicates that something on the boot drive is linked to the other disk or vice-versa. Quit all applications and try deleting again. If you get the same message, you'll have to track down what's open. One way is to launch the Terminal.app in /Applications/Utilities/, type in this command, hit the return key, and get the /dev/disk information for the attached disks:
df -h
This is an example of what you should see:
/dev/disk0s10 52162400 35274040 16888360 68% /Volumes/<name of other HD>
Then, enter this command, hit the return key, and peruse the output for the culprit(s) on that other drive:
lsof /dev/disk0s10
The only thing that should be listed is something like this, but that shouldn't prevent the disk from unmounting.
Finder 260 username 27r VDIR 14,20 68 425847 /Volumes/HD/.Trashes/501
If there are other processes and open files, you'll have to stop the processes. Launch Activity Monitor, check the process number that's running (in this example it's Finder w/process #260), select it, click on the Quit Process button, and click on the Quit button in the dialog box that pops up. Now, try deleting the folders.

Mavericks permissions don't work on folders created in 10.8.5

I have a 6.1 12 core Mac Pro, 12 hours old, upgraded to 10.9.3 with applications installed from scratch and no migration of any data from my previous 10.8.5 machine. I run an external thunderbolt array (Areca), which was created in 10.8.5 that contains large amounts of media, organised into job folders etc. I can create new folders on that array, and read/write at will, but all folders made under 10.8.5 require authentication. My (video editing) software doesn't supply that authentication, so jobs just fail, unless I create new folders for them.
I have tried the suggestions I've seen so far, first repairing permissions; then setting permissions from my home folder for all users to read/write and applying to enclosed items; and doing cmdR restarts then removing ACLs (terminal, resetpassword, don't reset password, reset user permissions). I still can't write to folders created under 10.8.5 without authentication.
Any advice, or is this just broken?

Select the volume icon in the Finder and open the Info window. Click the padlock icon in the lower right corner of the window and enter your administrator password when prompted. Check the box at the bottom marked

Duplicate folders NAME~1 appear in PSE9 Elements 9 Orgainser folder view

I am running Photoshop Elements 9 (PSE9) in windows7 and I am having a problem of apparently empty duplicate folders in Organiser's folder view (thumbnails on the right, Windows Explorer type folder list on the left).
A new apparently empty folder structure has appeared on in the folder view, identical to my main set of photo folders but containing no thumbnails and with a truncated folder name, eg DigitalPhotos becomes Digita~1 and FamilyandFriends becomes Family~1. If I delete any of the apparently empty subfolders in the duplicate folders, it deletes all the real jpgs from the hard drive and they show up as a missing file when I click on the proper thumbnail in the proper folder. It would appear to me that the catalog is referring to the same underlying file at two points for my whole catalog.
As the folders are apparently empty there is no ability to use the delete file option and uncheck delete file to delete only from the catalog
I have tried..
- catalog optimise
- catalog repair anyway (no faults found)
- catalog repair rebuild visual similarity index
- deleting the thumbnail file from ProgramData\Adobe\etc. then rebuilding all thumbnails (took hours) - I thought this had solved the problem when I checked very late last night but it wasb back when I turned on the computer this morning. I am now questioning whether in fact this solved the problem or if this was my imagination/ lack of sleep
They clearly shouldn't be there and I am concerned that double-links to the same underlying file will cause me corruption-related trouble.
Any ideas? I am really concerned the whole thing is going to crash on me and erase endless hours of work.
Thanks
Kimberley

Bug? Folders created by transmission is read-only to Windows file sharing

It's a nice thing that transmission is supported in the LenovoEMC version of firmware. The thing is, folders created by this transmission are read-only, which means file can't be added, deleted nor modified from Windows file sharing (They are still be deleted with transmission though, but that's irrelavant).
From my experience, this issue is caused by the value of unmask not properly set up in the settings.json file. This file can be modified when transmission is not running, but I didn't find a way to stop transmission from running / restart itself even after being killed from SSH.
Please help.

You have to have root access (which will void your warranty) to modify settings.json, that's why I wish Lenovo can come up with an official solution.
If you don't mind viod the warranty, then after you stop transmission, you can log in as root via putty, then use nano to modify settings.json as mentioned below:

NTFS permissions - Only access to folders created by the user himself

Hi,
I once came by an TechNet article explaining how to set up the NTFS permission on a shared folder, so the users would have rights to create a subfolder, and then only have access to this folder, and none of the co-existing folders on the same level, created
by similiar users.
So in details, I have shared a folder called backup$, where the users needs access to create their own subfolder (will be done automatically by a script). And in case they would need to browse their way to the full path, I need to make sure, they won't be
able to access folders created by other users.
Any help is much appreciated.

Hi,
I am not clear what are the rights you will set through the script for each sub-folder. You can verify, your settings using
Effective Permission tool.
You can more about Effective Permissions from the below URLs.
