Export to sub-directory

Hi,
I'm trying to get to grips with LR after being an RSP user. Does anyone know if it's possible to set the directory in Export to be relative to the raw file location? e.g. a subdir from where the raw file is, called Lightroom. I used to do this in RSP (and Bibble) and found it suited my work flow. I can see how to set an absolute directory location, but not relative.
Apologies if this has already been covered - if so, I'd appreciate a pointer to the thread with the answer.
Thanks in advance,
Ed

Yes, having to select the parent folder is a royal pain. For better or for worse, I create a "Converted" subfolder of wherever the raws are in which I put whatever JPG's I generate from the Lightroom, RSP, or whatever. This is really, really, difficult to do in Lightroom.
Ideally, the export dialog should have a simple checkbox which would allow the use of a relative path of wherever the raw happens to be. And also, it should auto-import whatever JPG's it generates in this manner.
(or, even better, place an auto-import checkbox on the export dialog, such that anything that we export will also show up in the library, if we so desire it, relative paths or not).

Index.html pages in local sub-directories will not load automatically when sub-directory name entered into address field, followed by a forward-slash

I am in the process of designing a website-on-a-CD. In order to make things easier for my clients, I decided to organize this site into local sub-directories with an index.html page in each one. However, when I try to enter the local sub-directory name, followed by a forward-slash, the index page does not open automatically. Instead, I get a raw directory listing that includes the index.html file, and anything else that is present within it. I would like to know if there is any way to force this page to load automatically within Firefox from a local storage medium as it would load from a web-server.

You need to use file:// as the protocol instead of C:/. The latter may never work (C:\ might).
Where is the main HTML located ?
Easiest if to store the images in a sub folder of the location because you can't go back via ../ beyond that root location for security reasons.

How to put the swf in sub directory

Would you guys let me know how to put the *.swf file which
has *.flv in sub directory other than root.
I've tried many things none of them working.
a regular *.swf are OK. But if that swf file related with
*.flv. that Swf has to be in root directory on the server.
if I put that swf in sub directory such as /swf then it's not
working.
Please, help me out.

Hi,
It looks like this is for the certification, so I won't give you that much helpt. But you could use a modern IDE to do what you want, or use ant (http://ant.apache.org/) for building.

Ps. It looks like your classpath is wrong when you try to run the program.

Count files in Directory and the number of files in each sub directory

Hello,
I trying write a method which will start at a root of a file and count all the files in that directory. Then count all the files in each sub directory.
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FilenameFilter;
import java.io.IOException;
public class RunScan {
     * @param args
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          // TODO Auto-generated method stub
          File file = new File("/home/robert/count");
          File[] files = file.listFiles();
          traverse(files);
          printfiles();
     private static int totalNumFiles = 0;
     private static int totalNumDir = 0;
     private static int filePerDir = 0;
     private static int subDir = 0;
     private static void traverse(File[] files) {
for(int i = 0; i < files.length; i++) {
if(files.isDirectory()) {
     totalNumDir++;
     printDir(files[i].toString());
     traverse(files[i].listFiles());
totalNumFiles++;
filePerDir++;
     private static void printfiles(){
          System.out.println("total files "+ (totalNumFiles));
     System.out.println("totls sub dir "+ totalNumDir);
     private static void printDir(String dirName){
          System.out.println("Total Files in "+dirName+" "+filePerDir);
          filePerDir = 0;

Hint: Google "visitor pattern." This gives clues how to build a re-usable solution that can you use for future traversals that do things other than just file counts. Here's a teaser of an simple interface:
public interface TreeVisitor {
* Processes a single file or directory. <em>Tip:</em> If you want to track the number of
* items processed, this function is the best place to update a counter.
* Implementors of this method should not throw checked exceptions.
* @param item The file or directory process.
* @param depth Number of levels below top of traversal tree (0 = top of tree).
public void visit(File item, int depth);
}

How to create sub-directory by PL/SQL in run-time?

Hello,
I have directory defined in Oracle DB and I need to create a sub-directory by run-time PL/SQL code and move my file into the sub-directory.
The DB version is 10.2.0.3.0.
How can i do it without creating a new directory in DB each time i need to create a sub-directory?
Thanks!

Or, as directory objects are replacable you can just change them using dynamic SQL...
e.g.
execute immediate 'create or replace directory my_home as ''/home''';
execute immediate 'create or replace directory my_home as ''/home/newfiles''';
of course this isn't going to work if the directly object is going to be used by multiple users at the same time, but if it's for a dedicated process then it would.
(it also relies on the operating system directories having appropriate read/write permissions, but that's outside the ability of Oracle to control)
Personally though, I'd avoid having things moving about dynamically.
The design of my process would specify where files are going to be located and the correct number of directory objects defined and created up-front.
Any 'incoming' files would have to be located in one of those known locations, whether that's under the control of the 'users' supplying the files, or some other process (o/s script maybe?) that receives the files and moves them to the known location.

Send for review - sub directory

Is there any way to tell contribute not to create sub
directories for draft reviews? I am using php includes and the
"Send for Review" function isn't working very well. Basically, I
include "includes/somefile.php". If Contribute creates {page
name}_php_MMtmp77bc04e1/{page name} as the draft, then my relative
path includes are out the window.
Is there any reason why Contribute can't just create the
draft as {page name}_php_MMtmp77bc04e1.php instead of creating a
sub directory and re-writing links, etc?
Sure, I could make all of my includes absolute paths on every
page, but that would require some extra work and is not a very
clean way to do things. It would also make updating the includes a
real nightmare.
Thanks!

I have the same problem and it's driving me crazy.
So is there anyway to get Contribute to stop:
A.) Putting drafts in sub directories?
B.) Stop modifying absolute links, php includes, etc. into
relative links?
My problem is when a user edits a page and sends it for
review (or saves a draft) Contribute will take all my Template's
absolute paths (ie <?php
include('/home/smwc/public_html/includes/footer.inc.php'); ?>
and turns it into <?php
include('../../home/smwc/public_html/includes/footer.inc.php');
?> which obviously screws everything up.
When the draft is published then, none of the PHP includes
work. It's also doing this with stylesheets
(src="/scripts/css/style.css" to
src="../../scripts/css/style.css").
I believe if I could just get it to store drafts in the root
folder it might actually solve the problem (messy solution, but at
least every page wouldn't break).

Sub directory structure to Muse?

Please Adobe - when will you add a sub directory structure to Muse? The only workaround at the moment is to create separate discrete sites and ftp independently to the main site folder.

Oren:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. iPhoto creates a roll with the same name for any folder of image files that are imported into it. All you have to do is select your folders of source files and drag them into iPhoto's open window.
If you want to use iPhoto's alias feature you can keep your current source folders and drag them into a library that's setup to not copy the files into it but use alias files. The library works as a conventional library with the exception that if you delete a photo from the library it does not delete the source file. That must be done manually via the Finder. I've created some Tutorials to assist users to convert over to an alias based system or go to an iView based one.
I use iView as my primary image management and iPhoto's alias feature to create a library of the same source files. That way I have the best of both applications. Also, when using the alias method, the importing process is much faster. Good luck.

Why does debugger not find source code when compiler output has been directed to the root directory, but the source is in a sub-directory, using Forte for JAVA community edition V3.0

I have configured Forte to put compiler output, i.e. my classes, in the root directory of the project. I now find that the debugger does not find the source code when it is in a sub-directory. However, if I temporarily copy a classes' source code to the root directory the debugger will display it.
To direct compiler output to the root directory I selected Project >Settings>Compiler types, then External Compiler ( which is the default compiler in my case ) and set Target to be the root project directory. This is the only directory it will allow.

This Forum is for Forte 4GL or UDS as its called today. I am not sure if anybody is going to be able to answer your question here. Sorry.

Export data file directory

what's the default directory when exporting data from the application manager? why can't i find the file i just export or choose the directory when i try to reload the data?

The default directory is $ARBORPATh/app.But you can export to database directory by$ARBORPATh/app/appname/dbname/filename.txtso that you can load directly this from App Manager under server file.

I have mac version 10.10.1 yosemite.Using LR3. I exported 7 sub folders from LR to an external hard drive in order to free up space on my mac hd.

encountered two problems:
1. instead of seeing the 7 sub folders in the external drive, all the images are out of order, entirely scrambled. when I open LR3 however, the contents of these folders are greyed out and show 0 images. I can see the question mark next to the image saying it is located elsewhere (i.e. on the external hd)If I plug in the external hd I can open the images and edit in CS5, but as I said it 's like finding a needle in the haystack.
2. no new space shows up on my mac hd even though that was the reason I made the export.
is there a way to fix this? I have a different external hd that backs up LR. Currently it is not plugged in. I am afraid to plug it in because it will take the new LR configuration and I'd lose any option to correct the problem. I also , on the same (different) hd I have Time Machine backup. would that help to fix the problem and bring back the organization I previously had with the 7 subfolders. All that organization is currently lost,i.e. show as greyed out 0 content in LR on my mac hd and shows as scrambled on the external hd.
Can I fix this??

zarowin, you want to move the files. Not export them! See here: Move folders around in Lightroom | Adobe Photoshop Lightroom tutorials. There are two ways to do that. One is to move the folders inside Lightroom to your external HD, the other is to move them in the finder and reconnect the folders afterwards using the tips in the link dj linked to above. Also, you really should upgrade your Lightroom. LR 3 is not fully Yosemite compatible. I think the problems are mostly cosmetic though.
Periodically I get a prompt in lr asking if I want to back up lr and I have been consistent about doing so. At this point however, since those out of order images have be “exported” (am I using the right word??) to the second external hd, into a folder without subfolders, (hence the scrambling effect), if I were to plug in the external hd that is my backup drive (for time machine as well as for lr), won’t it be backing up the mistake I made by not using subfolders ongto the other external drive, thereby compounding the problem?
This warning has nothing to do with Time Machine. It is Lightroom's own backup. Every week or so, it will generate a backup Library that you can revert to in the case of trouble. In fact, you can usually safely delete the very old ones but keep them from the last month or so. Look for them in a folder called "Backups" right next to your main catalog file (probably in your Pictures folder). Be sure to only throw away the oldest backups. If you have never done this and have a large catalog with 10's of thousands of images you probably have easily 100 GB of these backups. Just calculate how much space you are wasting if you started doing this around LR 3, several years of backup catalogs at a frequency of once a week, and a typical catalog size of 1.5 GB (my main catalog is over 2GB).
Lastly, Time Machine backup doesn't overwrite older versions. It keeps versions around of all your catalog files (including the backups!).

Bug: Can't export to desktop directory

Windows XP SP2,
Finnish version. Lightroom tells that my desktop directory (and any directories on the desktop) is unwritable when I try to select it (
"The specified folder is unwritable").
I guess I really should get rid of the nasty habit of populating the desktop with zillions of trivial files ;)

Everything works perfect on my system, which is XP Pro SP3 and ReadyNAS NV+ [X-RAID] and RAIDiator 4.1.6 [1.00a043].
I never touch the OS XP folder.file permissions. And as I said yesterday, all I have is the FrontView permissions correct. Whether I export to the ReadyNas subdirectory including update Catalogue or not, the subdirectory is created and the export file physically exists.
The only nag I have is after removing my (test) catalogue image and (test) catalogue folder, although the image is physically deleted the folder is left on my drive. I would call it an LR3 bug, but Adobe might think otherwise. I know for a fact this does create problems if your try to create another subfolder with the same name at a later date. It happened to me a while back. Hey, the light just turned on! I reckon this is your route to check. Even though T:\WindAnimalPark\email folder does not exist in your catalogue at the start of this thread, was it exisiting physically ? If yes, then this is probably the issue. Delete \email folder from your disk firstly before making an export to it even if it is not showing in Catalogue.

Lightroom 3.6 can't export to a directory on READYNAS

I have Lightroom 3.6. I also have a lot of images. So I got a READYNAS RNDU4000 disk array (RAID) with 4 disks each of 2 TB. My computer is running Windows XP Professional SP3. It mounts the RAID array as a network drive just fine. Now suppose I have some new images. I make a new folder on the RAID array, lets say it is called "WildAnimalPark" and copy the images in there.   I start up Lightroom, and choose Import Files, and point it at WildAniamalPark, and it imports the images just fine, and lets me make adjustments. (The Lightroom catalog is in my F drive, a hard drive on my computer.) Now I want to export smaller jpegs suitable for web or e-mail. So I go to File->Export. I tell it to export the images to "Same folder as original photo", and check "Put in Subfolder" and name the subfolder "email". Farther down I ask for the images to be scaled to 800 pixels on the long edge and to limit the file size to 125K. (I doubt these details matter.) When I click "export", it appears like it is going to work. You can see the progress bar move across as it makes the files.   But then I get an dialog box that says, "Some export operations were not performed. The file could not be written," followed by a list of off the files it should have written. When I look it the original directory, I see that it has created the subfolder "email" (so it really can write to the RAID array), but it is empty.
This makes my RAID array essentially useless. Does anyone have any idea what is wrong, or how I can work around this probelm?
I should add that it works perfectly if I put the directory on a local hard drive.
Thank you,
   --DMJ002

Exporting photos preserving directory structure...

Is it possible to export many Events / Albums, and have iPhoto export the photos while creating a sub-folder for each Event / Album being exported ? It looks like all photos end up mixed up in one single big folder. This makes it very inconvenient to browse, archive or share large amounts of photos onto a PC or another non-Mac hardware.
Any help apreciated.
Thanks,
Eric

Is it possible to export many Events / Albums, and have iPhoto export the photos while creating a sub-folder for each Event / Album being exported ?
No it’s not. You’ll need to export Album by album, Event by Event.
However if you want to grab large numbers of your stuff, you can always go into the iPhoto folder structure and grab photos and folders directly. If the organization makes sense to you, then it should be straight forward to identify which folders are the ones you need to copy to another drive, optical disk, etc.
Patrick
Apart from the considerable risk of damaging the Library, this simply won’t work.
You will need to choose between Original and Modified files - or else spend some considerable time comparing versions to decide which is the current version
The structure of the folders inside either Originals and Modified does not necessarily follow the structure of the Events in the iPhoto Window - especially if you’ve moved pics between Events in the iPhoto Window since iPhoto 09
And, in the case of Albums, of course, it just won’t work at all. Albums exist only in the database. There is no way to get them from iPhoto without exporting.
As always the Standard Warning: Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.

Appending a csv column exported from Active Directory

Hi Guys
We have a new access control system. The DB of the control system needs to be updated with new people from Active Directory. It has an import tool to this. I want to automate it to do it every hour. So I started writing a powershell script to export any
users that have changed in the last day. Here is what I have so far:
Get-ADUser -Filter * -Properties * | Where {$_.Modified -ge $(Get-Date).AddDays(-1)} | select rcscardcode | Export-Csv -path C:\Users\johncolfer\Desktop\TempStuff\Active-dir\export12.csv
So as you can see I have selected a property "rcscardcode". It is a custom attribute in AD. An example of 1 of these numbers in the exported csv file is "1141410511000000" I need to be able to change this number to "1141410511"
and all subsequent numbers in that column of the csv file. Is this possible?
Any help would be great.
Thanks
John

Still no joy:
I changed a property for a test account in AD which is a standard attribute. So I changed the "company" attribute to "987654321000000" in attribute editor. I then ran the following
Get-ADUser-Identitygoofy-Properties*|select
company|%{
$_.company=$_.company.Substring(0,10)
} |Export-Csv-pathC:\Users\johncolfer\Desktop\TempStuff\Active-dir\export1342.csv-NoType
It ran ok, but there was nothing in the exported CSV. I was hoping to see 1 column with a value of "987654321"
