Export - folder hierarchy

This has been mentioned around feature requests in reply's, but I thought it is better to make it a separate request. At least for me it is on top of my Lightroom wish list.
What I mean can be supported in 3 ways.
1. When exporting Collection set, subfolders could be created for each collection within collection set. (preferred)
2. When exporting multiple photos, option to make (sub)folders according to dates photos taken.
3. When exporting multiple photos, option to make (sub)folders according to keywords. Something like giving an option in export dialog with keywords from selected photos to select which ones to group in (sub)folders.
Why I want this?
One of my work flows is selecting photos for web galleries, and I have to select photos according to criteria and export each as separate batch for each sub folder I want to create. Most of my photos are sorted through category sets with multiple categories within the sets. Also all of the photos are rich with keywords, and I import new photos into folder structure of YYYY\MM\DD so it is quite organized (it has to be since I have over 60000 of photos).
Don't think it is relevant but my system is: Win XP Pro SP3, Lightroom 2.1.512205, Raw 4.6, 4GB RAM, HDD >100GB free, NVIDIA GeForce 8800GT 512MB

Amit,
that's not possible via the UI, but you can go directly to the repository-location (mostely the filesystem).

Export All images with Folder Hierarchy?

Hi,
I use Lightroom all the time but would like to have all my photos available on my Iphone but it is not compatible with raw files. Is there a way that I could export all my images but keep their folder hierarchy intact so I would end up with a duplicate set of folders the same as I have in lightroom but the new set would only contain jpegs?
Thanks
Matt

I do just that with a free tool that has been published on "another" forum.
I'm not so sure if I can put th elink down here, but search for
Preserving Folder Tree Hierarchy using Export Plugins in 2.0
and you'll find a solution. Read the thread to the end, there are a number of improvement that never got into the "official" release.
Cheers, Peter

Export: Maintain Folder Hierarchy -

it would be very useful if lightroom could export a group of images maintaining the existing folder hierarchy, instead of dumping them all into one folder -
as in, i import my images into lightroom, sort the images into subfolders, put them through develop (or not), then when choosing export i have an option to create a new folder containing the exported images arranged in the same folder structure as in lightroom
(then i upload these images to a php gallery system that creates thumbs, gallery page, etc)
it would be great if i didn't have to re-organize the exported images after exporting...

Going with Jeff's one feature, don't mix it rule:
The ability to export our collection and folder hierarchy would be a very useful tool. It would allows users to create final output copies of our images in what their normal relational folder location. A bank of collections that contain the output from a job may contain numerous collections of virtual copies of Colour/B&W/Sepia/bordered images to go for proofing to clients. The client could peruse these by type and make decisions based on these. It is especially useful in the case of burning out our exports to create a usable hierarchy on the disk. Otherwise Lightroom can only be used to export all images to one folder, or used to export individual collections, that must then be hand sorted into our hierarchy and burned from an external application. As Lightroom is designed to speed our workflow, this would be a very useful addition to the toolset.

Getting error while export folder: ScriptTemplate [6] not found

Support symbolic links (symlinks or Unix's 'ln -s') in the iTunes Media folder hierarchy

As of iTunes version 12.0.1.26, iTunes has partial support for symbolic links in the iTunes Media folder hierarchy. I'd like Apple to enhance iTunes to treat any symlink or folder alias within the hierarchy the same as folders. With the Unix core under OS X, there is no clear reason to not support this feature.
Why is this important? As more of us try to use iTunes as the single repository of all media, the library size becomes larger than is possible to hold on a single partition. The simplest and most convenient solution is to allow users to move large folders (e.g. Music, or Movies) to a different drive or partition, then put an alias or symlink in the original location within the iTunes hierarchy. Users with large collections or small partitions may need to split multiple times. Other users may want to put the bulk of their media on their home/work NAS and only keep a portion on their laptop for mobile access (think long overseas flights), but not have to constantly fiddle with iTunes.
The point is not whether any one of these scenarios may be supported today though a crude hack or third-party tool. Support for symlinks would be relatively easy for Apple to implement and extremely flexible for advanced users.
This is partially supported today. For example, if you do what I described above, iTunes will play all of your existing media. The part that is definitely broken is when you try to use the "Automatically Add to iTunes" folder, iTunes will not copy the file to a location under a symlink or alias. The new file will sit in the "Automatically Add to iTunes" folder and iTunes will generate multiple instances/tracks inside iTunes (e.g. movies appear in the "Unwatched" tab). While there are ways to work around this limitation, they are tedious and ultimately unnecessary if full symlink/alias support is provided.
Best,
Pete

How can I compare a (partial) export folder from iPhoto to an event in iPhoto to find images not exported?

How can I compare a (partial) export folder from iPhoto to an event in iPhoto to find images not exported? Or better yet, how can I export selected events to a new iPhoto library or an existing iPhoto library with events, titles and keywords intact?

Over / Down Icons not in exported folder

Over / Down Icons not in exported folder.
I've created some action buttons, and when a user hovers over it turns blue, and when they click it turns red. The png files I used for this I put into a folder called "IMG" (configuratorname.assets/IMG/blue-50-26.png). This folder is located in the .assets directory that configurator created when I saved the .gpc file. When I export the panel, the custom png files (red & blue) aren't exported into the content folder. How do I get it to export the custom icon png files ? Also, do I have to use a custom path in the the Over Icon and Down Icon fields. Here is what is in there now "Locales/IMG/blue-50-26.png", I think somewhere I read that I need to use a ".." at the beginning so it's a relative reference, not absolute ? My goal is for this panel to work on various machines, and all the needed componets are locally resident and pointed to within the content folder.
Thanks ahead of time for your help.
One last question, should the png file that I'm using as a custom color for the buttons when clicked be the exact dimension of the button, or will it scale the png file ?

In your case, the png files will not be export to content folder, these files will be exported to content/Configurator-Panel.assets/IMG/.
You can not use ".." to set the path of icon pictures. The root directory for icon picture is configuratorname.assets/. The value for icon picture path are relative to this root directory. After exporting, the pictures will be exported to content/configuratorname.assets/.
The png file be scale to fill the dimension of the button. We strongly suggest that you set the png file and the button in same size. If the size of png file is lager, it should be in same ratio with the size of the button.

Best way to batch resize images in nested folder hierarchy?

Hello,
I'm looking for help on [what is probably] a classic problem related to content sites.
I'm launching a content site that has numerous articles, and attached to each article is a number of images. The raw site assets are currently set up in a folder hierarchy like this:
Overall site assets folder
Category One folder
Article One folder
Unmodified images folder
Resized, production-ready images folder
Article Two folder
Unmodified images folder
Resized, production-ready images folder
Etc..., etc....
There are hundreds of articles in this hierarchy.
I'm looking for a script that will take every image in each "Unmodified" folder and save a resized copy to the "Resized" folder, preferably with different settings for vertical and horizontal images (though I'll be OK with just fixing the width if need be).
I realize that I can do this manually and locally within each folder with a droplet, but between droplets / actions / plug-ins or third-party tools, is there an easy way to accomplish this across a large nested hierarchy with many folders as long as the Unmodified and Resized folders are nested together? And what about horizontal vs. vertical images?
THANKS!!!!!!
Scott

Ahhh, I understand what you're saying. I'm downloading and installing this CS6 script, which might be along the lines of what I'm looking for:
Dr. Brown Services - Image Processor Pro
http://www.e-zest.net/blog/photoshop-cs6-save-for-web-images-batch-processing-keeping-nest ed-folder-structure-intact/
Photoshop supports recording the actions and the facility to run that action for batch processing. But it also has a couple of limitations up to Photoshop cs6 as mentioned below –
Photoshop does not maintain the source, hereditary/nested folder structure for the output (destination) images. Save for web only saves all the files to the folder specified when you record the action.
In case of some file handling issues, Photoshop action throws an error & pauses/stops working, wherein we need to skip these errors manually.
I I tried to Google it to find answers and also tried couple of JavaScript solutions such as the – SFW Batch Processor, SFWCS4-5, Picture Processor etc., but unfortunately all of them didn’t work for me. Either it gave up or stopped working or even threw errors for PhotoshopCS6 and CS2.
Thanks to Russell Brown for providing new CS6 Extension script to resolve the ‘save for web’ batch processing issue like maintaining the images nesting folder structure.
Not sure if it does exactly what I need, but checking....
Best,
Scott

Corruption of User privileges on folder hierarchy (not taken into account ANYMORE)

Hello.
We use Portal 3.0.6.3.3 (still EA release) on NT with Oracle 8iR2.
We have set a Content Area and a very classical folder hierarchy to be managed by a single user (called administrator having all privileges on all folders) and other users having just the "Manage Items" and "View Content" for all folders, starting with the root folder.
It has worked perfectly for a while but after further work on privileges that, unfortunately, we cannot trace back, we have our folders not taking into account the privileges set (under the Access Tab) anymore.
Actually all users have now all privileges on the whole folder hierarchy. It means, an "Edit Folder" not only provides the "Add Item" link option but also all other options (Folder Properties, etc) are available.
We have checked again and again the privileges on the CA, root folder, folders etc, tried and removed and re-created the users or new users etc without success.
We imagine some privilege management-related table of the Content Area/Folder are "corrupted".
How could we return to a normal situation? On which tables of Portal schema should we investigate and try to find out what is going on?
Thanks for any help.
null

... still me.
OK, forget my question. It appears that some "generic" group priviliges (AUTHENTICATED_USERS) had been changed by mistake thus overriding any other settings of the users and groups we were contemplating. So everything is under control now...
Thanks for having read anyway ;-)

Exports a hierarchy from the web to Excel

Hi Experts
When the user exports a hierarchy from the web to Excel, it prompts the user for their password as the excel session opens. If they donu2019t enter it u2013 it constantly prompts for a password when the excel file is used.
Anyone got the same issue? or anyway I can get over this?
thanks

Not possible - at the present time anyway.
If you want such a photo available for viewing on your iPhone, you need to download/save the photo on your computer - used for syncing/transferring data from your computer to the iPhone, and transfer this photo from your computer to your iPhone - the same for any photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone.

Is my library too big or my folder hierarchy inefficient

Just reread the bagelturf article on lib size.
My library has 2500 images (masters are referenced) and it is 3.78GB. This works out at 1.5MB per image which seems to be three times the suggested size in bagelturf.
I wonder if my use of blue folders is causing this. I have one main project with nearly all of the images. It's called India. I then have blue folders within this project for each of the states/big cities I've visited. I even have one blue folder which covers an entire state in addition to blue folders for the individual districts within that state (the state folder is a replication of all of these individual blue folder districts).
Is this the root of the problem?
Ross

After the above suggestion, I've now rearranged my library using a blue folder hierarchy (what I referred to above as blue folders was in fact blue albums)
My highest level is a blue folder (Asia 2008). At the next level I have two small projects (Cambodia and Thailand). I also have a trip to India but this is a very large collection so I have inserted a blue folder (India 2008) at this second level. The India folder is then divided into individual projects for the different parts of India that I have travelled in. For the moment I can see no use for brown folders - is this a mistake?
Is this a better arrangement performance wise?
Deleting the previous arrangment of top levels projects with India geographically divided using blue albums has caused a dramatic decrease in my library size - from over 5GB to 2GB with a total of 3500 images - 580Kb each now. I guess those blue albums are memory consumers.

Mirror folder hierarchy

Hi,
I want my CWS to mirror the source repository structure. I used the DB CWS example to start my development. When I created a crawler, I never see the option to "Mirror folder hierarchy" or "Import security...". Is there something that I should changed?
Thanks

Hi Syuroff,
     In this case, you should use the root as /Volumes/Drive2/AUSST_Updates/updates/oobe and the url you need to specify should point to this location. For example if http://serverx:8080 points to /Volumes/Drive2/AUSST_Updates then you need to specify the url as http://serverx:8080/updates/oobe. If you allow directory browsing, then you can verify that the URL http://serverx:8080/updates/oobe points to /Volumes/Drive2/AUSST_Updates/updates/oobe. Once you ensure this, you have to run
AdobeUpdateServerSetupToolCS5 --root="/Volumes/Drive2/AUSST_Updates/updates/oobe"
and select appropriate option to sync with Adobe Update Server. Once this step is completed, you will see two folders namely updates and webfeed created under /Volumes/Drive2/AUSST_Updates/updates/oobe location. Now you can run another command to generate the client config file:
AdobeUpdateServerSetupTool2.0 --genclientconf="/Volumes/Drive2/AUSST_Updates/updates/oobe/config"
                                                       --root="/Volumes/Drive2/AUSST_Updates/updates/oobe"
                                                       --url="http://serverx:8080/updates/oobe"
As mentioned in my earlier post, this command will create a folder named config under /Volumes/Drive2/AUSST_Updates/updates/oobe/config
location. This folder will contain all the override files for both Mac and Windows.
Let me know if this answers your query.
Thanks,

ITunes folder hierarchy.

Is there somewhere I could find an open view of the iTunes folder hierarchy, showing where my Music goes? The reason being, I have several folders named "Music", and I am not sure which one, or where to move it to on my new iMac.
user/myname/Music, contains two folders:
(1) iTunes, which contains: Album Artwork, iTunes Library, Extras.itdb, Genius.itdb, and iTunes Media, (which contains another "Music" folder) and Automatically add to iTunes.
(2) Music, which holds all my iTunes Albums.
Exactly which folder should my music be in? I cannot find a folder named iTunes library, and want to make sure that everything is as it should be.
thanks in advance.

The folder structure looks something like this:
The red outline is the *iTunes Music* or *iTunes Media* folder. If you change the default media location in preferences this is the stuff that is moved. Keeping the one folder nested inside the other is best however because the whole thing (iTunes) can be moved somewhere else without "breaking" your library. As stated elsewhere the default location for the top level iTunes folder is inside your profile's Music folder.
There is no standard folder called "iTunes Library". Depending on the context "iTunes Library" refers to the entire iTunes folder, its subfolders and their contents, or everything outside the media folder, or just the *iTunes Library.itl* file. You can, if you wish, have more than one iTunes library and the top folder doesn't have to be called "iTunes".

Folder Compare Utility that Ignores folder hierarchy?

Hi-
I'm looking for a utility that compares the files in two different folders to flag differences... BUT ignores the folder hierarchy. For instance, in Folder A "instructions.doc" may by in a sub-folder called "Computer," but in Folder B it may be in a sub-folder called "Computer Stuff," so I wouldn't want it to be flagged. But if it weren't ANYWHERE in Folder B, I would want a notification.
Does anyone know if such a utility exists?
Thanks!

Thanks to some help on another forum, this is how I did it:
In Terminal, run:
cd folderA
find . > ~/foldera.txt
cd folderB
find . > ~/folderb.txt
This will create textfiles in your home directory that list all files in each folder. The files are listed with their full paths, so now open the lists in a text editor (I used TextMate) and do a find-replace to remove the path information and leave just bare filenames - I used the regex expression \..*\/ I also then sorted each file alphabetically.
Now you can compare the two file-lists in Terminal with diff:
diff ~/foldera.txt ~/folderb.txt
Or you can do the comparison with nicer visuals using the FileMerge utility that comes with the Developer Tools.
There might be easier ways to do it, but this worked for me.
HTH.

Folder hierarchy!!

Hello All,
Iam sure many people involved herein would have looked at organising the folders within KM in one way or the other.
Can we all share our best practises and lessons learnt in this thread.
This could be of great interest to many as there might be some people who may have given it a out of the box thought and looked at it differently.
I look forward for your responses on this
Regards and long live SDN
Ajey

Hi ,
I am adding a point here.
A Folder Hierarchy in KM is used for two purposes. The first purpose is to organize the physical storage of documents. Folders and subfolders are created in the appropriate repository for the application. Physical folder hierarchies should be created for the easy of maintenance for the content.
Th KM folders are having unique features like Copy, Move, Rename, Create Link, Clip board, Delete, we can apply different services to KM folders based on your Requirement.
We can use different kind of layout sets when we diplay folders in an iVIew.
The second purpose for a folder hierarchy is for developing taxonomies. Simply, taxonomies are alternate, logical navigation to folders which contain links to the physical content.
