File location problems in Lightroom 3.5

It is 2011 and Adobe has offered us Lightroom, a truly great tool to do most needed changes to photographs, rendering Photoshop to special use for most.
But at the core of the system is a file handling technology that is long outdated. Importing photos, LR wants to put the pictures in folders for each day, for whatever reason. Yes, sometimes it maskes it easier to find a photo but photo projects often go over several days, making it cumbersome to handle these pictures later in Finder. Well, since it creates those folders itself, you would think it would recognize the same structure when photos are moved. not so. My Mac is starting to fill up, and I thus want all new photos to go to my LaCie disk. Sometimes I miss the info that these photos indeed go to my Mac, thus making me open Finder later on and move them to my Lightroom structure on the LaCie. Opening LR again, there are all those same pictures - not to be found. So, I click on the question mark for one picture and tell it where the picture is. In InDesign, Adobe got this right. If one link has been moved (surprise, people do change their file hierarchy sometimes), adn when I select the very folder this link is in, it finds the file itself within that folder, as well as updating all other files in that same folder. In LR, telling the system something, is not reused elsewhere. A bit unsmart?
My wish is for LR to up InDesign and make it even easier to locate file hierarchies. That would be one major step forward and save this user a ton of time.

u can get the current location by
getServletContext().getRealPath("/");
this will return to u the current path
place ur xml file there

  • XI2 scheduling to file location problem

    source file error. CrystalEnterprise.DiskUnmanaged: The system cannot find the path specified.
    I receive the above error when scheduling to put a file in a file location.
    I have used the format
    servername\directory\subdirectory\subdirectory
    and
    servername\directory\subdirectory\subdirectory
    The scheduler appears to change all \ to / - not sure if this is relavent
    Previously I was receiving file cannot be found error and I replaced a space in the path name with %20 and I received the cannot find path specified.

    I am using XI 3.1, so I am not sure whether this is the enhancement compared to XI R2.
    I have used Directory path llike
    //servername/directory/subdirectory/subdirectory
    & it works fine.

  • File location problem

    Hi,
    I am new in JSP and need help in locating the files of the project. I'm using Jdeveloper and context path of the project is "Change%20Request-ViewController-context-root" .I have one image-Apps.jpg ,which I want to use, having path as Change%20Request-ViewController-context-root/img/Apps.jpg
    Now problem is, when I check if the Apps.jpg file exist or not through
    String s=Change%20Request-ViewController-context-root/img/Apps.jpg;
    File image=new File(s);
    System.out.println(image.exists()); //returns false;
    %>
    where as :<img src="<%=s%>"> shows the image.
    How can we check the existence of the file ?

    Thanks for the same,it gave the direction and solved the problem. I used the following code and now it is picking up the image:
    String s=application.getRealPath("/")+"img\\"+app_id+".jpg"; //path of img is contextPath/img/Apps.jpg
    java.io.File app_file=new java.io.File(app_iconid);You can also just doString path = application.getRealPath("/img/" + app_id + ".jpg");
    But, is it going to work fine when I upload the website and it would start taking the path as like www.hostname:port/contextpath ?The getRealPath() is independent from that. There it is for. That's why I suggested to use it.

  • File location problems in Tomcat5.0.

    I write a Controller servlet to read mappings form an xml file which locates in %TOMCAT_HOMT%/webapps/myweb/web-inf/classes/system/.
    The file is ActionMapping.xml.
    The Controller source is below:
    package system;

    import javax.servlet.ServletException;
    import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
    import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;

    }I used the "File file = new File("ActionMapping.xml");" to find the file object,
    then i use the file.exists() method to check if the file is exist,(i'm sure the location and the file name are both correct).
    But when i use the ServletOuputStream to print the result whether the file is exist,
    it return "false".
    Why?
    I'm sure the Controller.class and the ActionMapping.xml file is in the same directory.
    Why didn't the file exist?

    u can get the current location by
    getServletContext().getRealPath("/");
    this will return to u the current path
    place ur xml file there

  • Lightroom workflow - HD setup and file locations

    Has anyone waxed poetic about catalog and image file locations or workflow? How do you go about conceptualizing a drive and file storage strategy for a Lightroom workflow? Of course this will vary depending on the equipment you have, but I'd appreciate and links to stories that run through various configuration setups and the possible workflows and locations for catalog, master files and backup locations. Here's my setup:
    - Mac Pro (3GHz 8 Core) with two 750GB internal drives (one for OS X) the other for Apps and content storage); two empty drive bays for now.
    - PowerBook G4 1.2GHz w/160GB internal drive that I use on location, or as an in-lab Flash card reader if the Addonics external, Firewire card reader attached to the Mac Pro fails to see a camera card (as it sometimes does). This second in-lab scenario adds some complexity to the workflow, although the machines are linked with Cat 6, gigabit Ethernet.
    - OWC Mercury Elite Pro with two 750GB drives configured as a mirrored, software RAID on Firewire 800 for backups.
    Should I set up the Lightroom catalog on the internal "content" drive and store all the actual image files there, reserving the RAID drive strictly for backups? This would mean that the RAID would only be used a redundant backup system (which is fine and what I originally planned) since it's probably slower than the single, internal drive. The problem is this: remembering to back up the files from the main content drive to the software RAID drive.
    Or should I be using the slower, mirrored RAID for main content (master image file and catalog) storage.

    John, Andrew and others:
    Thanks for your thoughts. Do you also use Lightroom to manage all "working" versions of Photoshop files (multiple version - edits - of files in progress)?
    During my first couple of projects, I ended up creating a "Working" folder for each project outside the Nikon folder-oriented hierarchy of the original image files. I did this only out of habit rather than workflow planning, but ended up with a second workflow outside of Lightroom.
    Does anyone think it's better to simply save these files (with or without the "working" folders) into the same folder hierarchy with all the Nikon originals? I'm just trying to figure out how to organize the workflow for the in-progress files.
    Again, before Lightroom, I managed these files in separate folders on the hard drive, and usually moved them to a new location for final storage. Clearly, that won't work for Lightroom, but what does? I'm getting into a bit of trouble trying to manage file (and working folder) locations as I try to transition to a new, database-driven workflow.

  • Java 7: Problems launching applets with jars on "file://" location

    Hi,
    We are experiencing a problem when updating our client's JRE from Java6 U 21 up to Java7 U 55.
    We have developed an Applet which is composed by several JAR files. Some of those JARs must be stored in local drive, and the JAR with the main Java class is stored on server.
    Let's supose we have a similar scenario like this:
    https://blahblahbah/bar.jar
    https://blahblahbah/test.html
    C:/foo.jar
    The code of test.html:
    <embed
      archive="file:///C:/foo.jar"
      cache_archive="bar.jar"
    />
    This code works fine on Java 6 and Applet is correctly loaded.
    However, with Java 7 a security exception is raised when trying to load JAR files from "file:///" location during Applet launch:
    java.lang.SecurityException: Permission denied: file:/C:/foo.jar
        at sun.plugin2.applet.Applet2Manager._loadJarFiles(Unknown Source)
    We have tried several tests using a java.policy file which grants all possible permisions:
    grant codeBase "file:/C:/foo.jar" {
        permission java.security.AllPermission;
    grant {
      permission java.security.AllPermission;
    We also tried to low Java's security level to "MEDIUM", with no success.
    We finally only managed to run the Applet if we explicity disable the "Next-Generation Plugin" with Internet Explorer 8. However, that's not a suitable solution, and still does not work with Mozilla family browsers.
    Eventhought with Mozilla browsers is still not working.
    Is there any restrictions in Java 7 that prevents to read jars from being loaded from local drive when launching Applets?
    Thanks in advance,

    Thank you baftos.
    I had read the whole message before posting mine. It's not the same problem. I'm able to run the sample signed applet always having the jar in the same location than the HTML page serving the applet via JNLP:
    <jar href="SignedAppletTest.jar" main="true"/>
    However, the security exception raises when trying to read that jar from local drive:
    <jar href="file://C:/SignedAppletTest.jar" main="true"/>
    ExitException[ 3]java.lang.SecurityException: Permission denied: file://C:/SignedAppletTest.jar
        at sun.plugin2.applet.JNLP2Manager.loadJarFiles(Unknown Source)
    I have even tried to decompile JNLP2Manager class, without seeing anything useful on that loadJarFiles method
    The only way I managed to avoid the problem is unchecking the New Generation Plugin and running the Applet with IE. Not a suitable solution for me at all..

  • Problems with Lightroom 5.2 and Olympus EM-1 RAW files?

    There have been reports on DPREVIEW of color problems using Lightroom 5.2 with RAW files from the Olympus OM-D EM-1 camera.  This causes  difficulty creating camera profiles, and creates a red shift in Images.  JPG images are unaffected.
    Anyone else seeing this?
    When may we look forward to LR 5.3, hopefully with a fix?
    Thanks............... Jack Winberg

    The read me file from Adobe indicate that LR 5.2 has "preliminary" support for the Olympus EM-1 raw files.
    I would make sure you keep your original raw files so they can be converted when the support is finalized. i.e. I would not convert to dng on import if that is your normal workflow.

  • Error writing to temporary file location. If this problem persists contact customer support. (-70)

    I've been trying to update/install Creative Cloud applications via Adobe Application Manager and no matter which application I try to install I receive this error: "Error writing to temporary file location. If this problem persists contact customer support. (-70)"
    Prior to this I was having trouble running updates to an application, and it told me I needed "Administrative Privleges" to do so. I have tried everything I can think of with the assistance of the Apple Store. Can anyone at Adobe help me?

    You do not have the permission on the TMP folder for write because of which you are facing the issue.
    Tmp folder is hidden on the Mac hence you have to unhide it first to check the permission and getting it corrected.
    I would recommend you to check the install/update from
    1) New user account
    2) Run the Disk repair utitlity
    if these steps doesn't help then contact support to get the permission corrected.

  • Lightroom LR2 File Locations

    Please brief me again on the file locations and what they contain.
    What I know:
    Lightroom 2 Catalog - Location: whereever I put it. Contains?(edits?, metadata?, keywords?, thumbnails?)
    Lightroom 2 Catalog Previews.lrdata - Location: Inside the Lightroom 2 Catalog folder, above. Contains?(previews? which ones/standard/1:1?).
    My computer died last month and I do have backups of the above two folders plus my original images. if I re-install LR2 on my new machine and then put my backed up files back into the locations specified in or change preferences to their proper locations, do I pick up all my data, edits?, metadata?, keywords?, thumbnails?. previews?.
    I have not made exported .XMP's for most of my images, but I have all the folders and want to re-use the Catalog file, not go to a new Catalog file.

  • Lightroom catalog backup find missing file location- please help!

    Hi,
    Before I start, if anyone can answer this question I would be so grateful. I would cry!
    Ok, so let me start.
    Recently I cleared my whole entire mac and backed up everything on a hard drive. when I reinstalled lightroom on my clean mac, I also imported the catalog that I backed up.  It all worked fine, and this post isn't about a lost catalog, or accidentally deleted photos.
    So, what is hapenning is. When I imported my catalog I got an error message, for all the photos and folders. this:
    So I found re-finding the folder, or finding the "missing file location" (which is so annoying because I wished Lightroom just backed up the pictures along with the catalog). But when I found the folder, only some photos showed up and some still displayed the exclamation mark.
    Now I do have all the photos with the exclamation marks in folders on my backup hard drive, BUT they are all unedited raw versions. I honestly cannot go back and edit 2000 photos, especially after me having to clean all of the photos when my camera had over 30 spots of sensor dust on the photos. So those backup photos are what lightroom backed up, but I want to know how I can recover the photos in the lightroom catalog with the edits APPLIED.
    May I PLEASEE get help on this. I am SO STUCK and do not want to mess up ANYTHING at all!
    I would appreciate so much for ANY help! PLEASE!
    Kind regards,
    Josh

  • Where are the actual Aperture files located? Only in the application? I am transitioning to Lightroom and would like to only move some of the files. Advice appreciated. Also anyone know how to transfer in with edits?

    Where are the actual Aperture files located? Only in the application? I am transitioning to Lightroom and would like to only move some of the files. Advice appreciated. Also anyone know how to transfer in with edits? Using iMac, OS X, most recent Aperture and Lightroom 5.7 with plugin for Aperture.

    Define "the Aperture files".
    Read this concise guide.
    The files you imported into an Aperture Library can be exported (at any time, and repeatedly) using the command "File ▹ Export ▹ Originals".  Your Originals are never altered.  What went in is what comes out.
    Adjustments and changes to the metadata that you made since creating an Image in Aperture by importing a file are saved to a text file.  This file is combined, on-the-fly, with the Original to create the Image that you see in Aperture.  There is no file saved to disk that is the full-size Image.  Thumbnails are saved, and Previews are saved.  These are JPG files, almost always smaller than the Original.  They are not substitutes for the Image for the use you have.
    When you need a file of an Image to use in another program, you export the Image from Aperture.  "Export" means "Make me a file of this Image according to these file specs I'm providing".  The way to get files of your adjusted Images is simple:  create them by exporting.  Specify "Original size", and use a loss-less image-file format (e.g. TIFF 16-bit) if you want to retain as much visual information as possible.
    Search the Web for information about transitioning from Aperture to Lightroom.  Note that I say "transitioning".  You cannot move a database from one format to another without significant changes, and likely some loss of information.  Adobe provides a tool and some instructions.  I strongly recommend working out the process step-by-step, and then proceeding with first a few Images, then a bushel-ful, and stopping to use the first few, the the bushel-ful, before committing your entire collection to the process.
    As always, never use any computer file without having a back-up.
    We have seen mixed reports here of the success of the LR tool that creates a LR database from your Aperture database.
    If you want to carefully define the process, and test and refine it, use the excellent process-development, analysis, and execution program inShort.
    Sadly, there is not and can never be a good, thorough re-positioning of the digital assets in your Aperture Library to become digital assets in a LR database.  Just as a metaphor for any user contemplating transitioning to another digital asset manager:  that would be like digging up a house in one country, planting it in a hole in another country, and expecting to be able to use the toilet and the sinks, turn on the lights, cook dinner, and sleep soundly.
    HTH,
    Kirby.

The installation wanted to put it on the same file system as {ORACLE_HOME} although I told the installation that I wanted {ORACLE_BASE} on another file system. So of course there wasn't enough room on the file system to make the starter database.
    I thought I'd be able to correct this after installation. I tried to make a General Purpose Database with Database Configuration Assistant but DBCA in step 5 of 7, File Location Variables still shows {ORACLE_BASE} to be the same as {ORACLE_HOME}, and no way to change that variable on this screen. Don't I want to change { ORACLE_BASE} to a file system that has enough space to make the data base? How do I change this variable? When logged in as the oracle user, I don't see it listed by setenv.
    When I ignored this setting and tried to finish DBCA, it hung.

    I looked for the {ORACLE*} environmental variables in the profile and login files of my oracle user, but didn't find that they were added by my Oracle setup. So I didn't think defining them as environmental variables would persist or overrule the global variables set at dbca run time.
    In the dbca windows, step 5 displays these global variable settings provocatively in a table, as if Oracle wants me to verify and edit them if necessary, but I keep poking at them with right mouse clicks, left mouse clicks, backspace, and delete, but all I can do is turn them blue.
    Currently when I use dbca to try to create a general purpose database, it hangs at 50% done, but not much space is used up on {ORACLE_HOME}. So it doesn't really look like the hang is caused by the disk being full. One of the processes that is hung is jre, so I thought I'd review the Oracle requirements and locations for JRE on my system.

  • Problem: '\' character of file location disappears

    Hi
    I am trying to pass the location of a file on local disk as parameter to a java function... the function accepts 'String' type... but when I do this... the '\' characters in the location disappear.
    For Example: If C:\Documents and Settings\Hllo\Desktop\trials is passed then it appears as C:Documents and SettingsHlloDesktop       rialsI dont understand what is happening... any pointers....?
    How do I overcome this? Please help..

    Ok,
    This is what I am trying to do:
    1. From a web page a user selects a file
    2. On a button click, JavaScript function gets invoked and the file location is stored in a local variable and passed as parameter.
    3. I am using DWR (AJAX), where the server side code 'FileOpener' will accept this string as parameter and tries to open the file.
    So therefore I need something in this server side code to escape the backslash characters from the received argument.... How do I do it?
    At present this is what I am doing and it shows me error:
    BufferedReader read = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(fileLocation));
    while((line = read.readLine()) != null) {
                       str = str + " " + line ;
    read.close();
