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.

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.

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

Trying to split large library, I exported a folder of 3000 images to a new library. The new library was created with these images, but it still remained in the original library. How can I remove it from the original library while keeping it in the new l

Splitting a library does not remove the folder I moved from the original library. I exported a folder of 3000 images from the original library to a new library. The new libraryb was created alright, but the folder and the 3000 images remain in the original library. Why? And how do I safely remove them?

The new libraryb was created alright, but the folder and the 3000 images remain in the original library. Why? And how do I safely remove them?
Exporting a library will create a duplicate of the exported library items. Usually you do this to work on a partial library on another computer and later merge the changed images back. Splitting the library is not the primary purpose of exporting.
If you want to remove the library items that you exported, select them in the source list of the library inspector and delete them (File > Delete Original Images and all Versions). Then empty the Aperture Trash, after checking that you did not trash more than you wanted.
But check, if the backup of your Aperture library is in working condition, and check the exported library carefully, before you do such a massive delete.

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

Copy Folder with Joins. Export/Import Folder with joins. In EUL.

Ok, I've got a custom folder which has been made up by dragging items from 2 or 3 other folders into it.
It then has some joins of it's own, quite a few.
When trying to create a workbook from it, it takes 9 mins to run a query.
I need to work out what is slowing it down. If I create the same workbook against the folder which has the majority of the items in the custom folder, it runs instantly.
So I suspect it is one of the joins causing it.
My plan was to duplicate the folder, then remove joins until I find out which one is causing it.
However, if I cut n paste the folder, I get a copy without the joins.
If I export the folder and import it I get a copy without the joins.
Question then - how can I get a copy of a folder WITH the joins ?
I'm slightly concerned that when I export my EUL from the dev database and import it into the live database that I'm not going to get any joins since the export and import into the dev database is not retaining the joins.
Anyone ?

Hi,
The preferences for Disco Plus are set in the pref.txt file on the apps server and for Disco Desktop in the Windows Registry. I think the defaults are set on so unless you have changed them this is unlikely to help.
I think I read somewhere that the 11g optimiser will remove unused outer joins or where there is a foreign key constraint. I may have made that last bit up as I cannot find a reference to it, but it may be worth exploring.
To speed things up you could look at why this join is slowing things down. It could be that you need an index on the join column.
The join actually is used, in that it has to check in the other table that a record exists. This is why Discoverer cannot remove the join from the complex folder query. If it did and there where no matching records in the other table then you would get a different result.

Maintain lookup/hierarchy tables from Netweaver Portal

How do we maintain loopup/ hiearchy tables from SAP Portal instead of data manager? Is this part of standard delivered portal content iviews or we need to create custom code to perform this?
Any pointer or guidance or best practice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I think it is not possible to maintain lookup / hierarchy table directly on portal, you can create lookup / hierarchy data on MDM data manager and by using standard Business content of MDM iview or by customizing iview you can represent hierarchy data to portal
refer following link for MDM Portal Content Development Guide

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 ;-)

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.
