Film strip and ctrl Z undo, acting odd

When using sort by color, if your film strip is hidden and you change the color you are sorting by, the film strip goes back to show. Or is this in a new setting somewhere?
A few times I have noticed using ctrl Z (undo) it un-does more then one change, then I could never get back to where I was. Of course, if in DEV you can simply click on any DEV step, but I like to use undo so I dont have a long DEV history, especially if I'm just seeing how DEV adjustments will look as a test.
thanks,
Donnie

Sorry, in LR2.

After editing, photo goes to end of film strip and I lose my place

In the beta, in develop mode, I would work on a file, go to CS3 for some editing, then back, and then export jpeg. Now, my work flow gets a little messed up with 1.1 because after I export, the photo I was working on disappears to the end of the film strip and my film strip is at the end. So, I keep losing my place. Is there a way to go back to the beta way by setting some preferences somewhere? Thanks in advance for any help.

Sara-
It sounds like your sorting is set to "by edit time" or some other that's sending it to the end of the line. Also, work inside of one folder at a time.

Selecting same photo in film strip and library module

When I select a photo in the library module, the same photo is not selected in my film strip, how do I change this?
The problem is when I select a photo in the library and then click develop, the photo that loads in the develop module is the one I have selected in the film strip, not the one I just clicked on in the library module. In my previous version of LR when I select a photo in the library module the same photo would become selected in the film strip so this problem would never occur, I am trying to find a way to restore this setting.
Also when I click "Ctrl A" in the Library module it selects all photos in my film strip, I would like to select all photos in library module instead so I can click "Sync Settings".
Thanks for your help!

What version of Windows? I'm using Windows 7 with 8 GB RAM, and don't see those problems. I would suggest that you upgrade to the current version, 5.7.1.
Product updates
The other suggestion would be to delete your Lightroom preferences so that Lightroom can generate a new preferences file.

Question mark on the frame of my photos in the film strip and files can't be opened

I had used LR for imports and some editing. I then reorganized my folders of the original files. This includes the NEF and JPG.
Now when I open LR, all of the files are there but I get a message that they can't be opened and there is a small question mark on the gray around each photo.
What do I need to to do to undo this?
Thanks,
Paul

Did you "reorganize" them outside of LR? If so, LR has lost track of the images. You'll need to click the Question Mark on one at the highest level directory you can and point LR to the file. LR will try to re-locate the rest but you may need to do this for each changed branch.

PS 6, Windows 7 64; installed second monitor and when renaming in bridge both screens fill with large film strip and I cannot get back to normal; please help!

Try a reset (click on that down pointing arrow) and also if you have a Mac, toggle the green resize button. It usually forces Bridge to resize to the screen.
If worse comes to worse, reset Bridge's Preferences as explained here: Troubleshoot errors, freezes | Adobe Bridge | Windows, Mac OS
When I use a external larger monitor, I select just that monitor.

Cut and paste in CSS acting oddly

Lately, when I try and cut and paste within a css document - "Control C" will sometimes select all - and sometimes it just cuts out everything (as if I'd done a "Control X").
I'd say it was a keyboard problem - but it only happens in CSS documents - and not any other file type in - or out of - Dreamweaver. Anyone else experience this oddity? Thanks...

Right - sorry...

Moving photos within film strip

Hi,
I apologize in advance for such a rudimentary question, but what would be the fastest and easiest way to move one or more photos from one end of the filmstrip, to the other? I know I can just select the photos I want to move, drag them to the edge of the film strip and wait for it to scroll to the desired location, but I was hoping there is a faster, more efficient way. Basically I have some photos at the beginning of the film strip that I want to place next to similar photos that appear somewhere towards the end of the film strip. Unfortunately shuttle control ceases to function once you click and drag a photo.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

There really are many many ways to sort-of do this. It depends how much you want to do with either the keyboard and/or the selection pointer (a/k/a the mouse cursor). None of the ones I know are as direct as it seems you would like.
A few work-arounds.
• Select the images you want to move. Press "v" twice to go to Browser view. Change the thumbnail size to small (this can be done w. repeated "{Shift}+{left square bracket}", or in the toolstrip of the Browser). Click-and-drag to where you want. Press "v" to return to Split view.
• Even easier -- just do this kind of image ordering in Browser view. As soon as you manually move an Image, the sort order changes to Manual. The Manual sort is remembered even if you change to another sort (e.g.: arrange your images, change to date sort, then change to manual sort and Aperture restores your last manual sort).
• Click to change the Film Strip in Split view to either Browser or List mode (the keyboard shortcuts are listed next to the icons on the Film Strip toolstrip). Scrolling in either of these modes is faster than in the Film Strip.
• Add color labels to the ones you want together (there are 8 labels to chose from) and then sort by label.
Better yet -- make a Stack of the images you want together. Select the ones at the beginning of the Project, add the ones at the end to your selection, and select "Stacks→Stack".

LR3 Crashes While Browsing Film Strip

I'm using Win 7 64 bit, Acer Aspire 7540-5980 (recent model), ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200,Wacom Intuos3
While scrolling with the film strip to do a second edit of a shoot I keep getting the msg, "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 64-bit has stopped working".
Flicks are off, I have uninstalled and re-installed Wacom drivers. I need help immediately so I can get this shoot to the agency today.

It seems I can select images using the mouse but when scrolling with the forward/backward arrows or the scroll bar below the film strip LR3 crashes. It seems to be a particular image or thumbnail that is crashing LR3. Trying to delete the unrated images to see how that affects the crashes. I can preview all of the images in Bridge.
I think I have figured out which images is crashing LR but it crashes before i can delete the image. I have deleted the image from the computer so how can i refresh the catalog without letting that image be viewed in the filmstrip.
After 4 hours of testing and then advancing through the filmstrip 1x1 and deleting the unrated images via Explorer, LR has stopped crashing. The same images worked in other image viewing programs so it's some sort of LR problem.These images previewed in film strip and in the main viewing window yesterday.

Lightroom 4.4: Only 3 thumbnails will display at a time in both Grid view and the Film Strip

Hi. I have Lightroom 4.4. and Windows 7--both of which have been working fine for several months. Starting a few days ago, however, thumbnails have refused to load for any NEW photos I import. They appear gray/blank in both Grid view and the film strip. However, if you click on any of the film strip thumbnails (while in either Grid view or Develop mode), that thumbnail and corresponding image WILL load--until up to three have done so. Then they begin disappearing again, allowing you to view no more than three images' thumbnails at any one time.
I can't review a shoot via Grid mode this way. I'm also afraid to use Lightroom while it's misbehaving, for fear of corrupting the catalog somehow (though all the images appear to be there). Searching this forum, I found several people who experienced having all of their thumbnails blank out and who were able to correct this by either reinstalling or removing their color profiling software. However, 1) I did this (and it didn't work), and 2) it isn't that all my thumbnails that have disappeared. All the thumbnails and images imported prior to the bug, still initially display correctly.* And I can get three thumbnails of the newer images to appear at a time.
*The asterisk is because after I poked around some more, I realized that if I opened other folders and began post-processing images from older uploads (vs. just viewing them), the thumbnails that initially displayed correctly everywhere also blank out and begin appearing in this up-to-three-at-a-time fashion.
Help, please?
With many thanks,
Rita

Alas, it didn't work. I did it twice--the second time rebooting the computer before starting Lightroom. I didn't expect the reboot to make a difference, but I did discover something else in the process: the second time I tried this, I accidentally opened a different catalog--and new photos imported just FINE into that one, thumbnails and all! For one moment I thought the reboot HAD made the difference. However, when I reopened the catalog I actually wanted, the original problem remained. Thumbnails don't load with import, and, when forced, only display up to three at a time.
So the problem seems specific to this catalog.
And yes--thank you for affirming that reinstalling Lightroom wouldn't work, either. (I forgot to mention that's what I had tried first. It didn't help--but it's nice to know it wasn't supposed to.)
Thank you so much for your reply. Do you have any other ideas, please?
With many thanks, truly,
Rita

Images once exported (RAW) do not show up in catalog or previous imorts not film strips in library nor develop. They are in the files to which they were exported

Not sure how to get this going seems rather redundant.
In the last 4 - 5 days I have imported several hundred RAW files, done some minimal post processing and exported these images to various files (I have verified that the images are in the files to which I exported them). These images to no show up in previous imports nor do they show up in library nor develop film strips. How or can I get them to show up for additional review and possible manipulation. I recently did this same operation with largle JPEG files and all went well.
I did initially have some problems with LR recognizing the RAW files but some how was able to overcome that ( perhaps a card issue they are old card and the JPEGs were on a new card hmmmm!!??)
Any ways I supposed I can reimport them from their current files but that is a redundant pain. Suggestions would be apprediated

One possibility is that you accidentally opened a new/different catalog.
Look at File->Open Recent and open the catalogs shown there and see if your photos appear

Message editor bug: Ctrl-Z and Ctrl-Y not working

Hi!
I am writing a reply, where I am inserting a lot from Word-documents and web-pages.
When I pressed Ctrl-Z, a large block of text, including an inserted quote, disappeared, and when I pressed Ctrl-Y it did NOT reappear, so there must be a bug or two in the message editor.
I am not sure what else to tell about it, but it's kind of shocking.
I have noticed before, that when you use Ctrl-Z and Ctrl-Y the editor-window does not scroll up and down to show you WHERE you are undoing/redoing something. That is also quite confusing!
And BTW: When you mark something, there is no cursor, to tell you if you are at the end of one line or at the beginning of the next. That is also quite annoying.
Best regards,
Henrik R.

When you insert your word document are you using Paste without formatting (Ctrl+Shift+V).
All bets are off if your pasting the horribly contaminated data from a Microsoft office document without using a text only filter. It is an unfortunate fact of life that an email containing text pasted from Microsoft word can cause a virus alert due to it's internal references to OCX controls.
It also contains complex data structures that are only meaningful to Microsoft office. However they are more than enough to scramble other editors as they often do not form valid HTML. Just another occurrence of Microsoft "innovating"

LR 3.6 cannot view photos in film strip in Library mode. Can view photos on Develop setting.

On LR 3.6 I cannot view my photos on the film strip in the LIBRARY setting. On DEVELOP I can view on photo at a time on the film strip (the rest of the photos are not viewable). This is a new problem which has only occured on the last two imports.

Sounds like a corrupted preview cache. Close LR and find the catalog on the hard drive. Rename the lrdata folder (Windows) / file (Mac) - don't touch the lrcat catalog file. Then open LR and see if the previews reappear. If they do, select all in Grid view tonight when you go to bed and go to Library menu > Previews > Render Standard Sized Previews - it take a long time so it's worth running overnight. If everything looks good in the morning, you can delete the lrdata folder (Windows) / file (Mac) that you renamed earlier.

The photo displayed does not match the "film strip" shown below

Hello everyone,
I hope someone can help me.
I have started to spend some time with iPhoto, creating events an tagging, naming faces etc. trying to finally put some order against my photo collection and everything has been great until yesterday I noticed that the picture I was working on was different to the 'film strip' images below. Infact, the film strip images related to a completely different event....
Firstly, Is this something I need to worry about?
And wether it is or isn't something I need to worry about, how can I fix it?
But also, I can see some photo's in the film strip, but when I click on them they appear in the 'main' photo area as blank, in fact there is a kind of greyed out warning triangle with an exclamation mark there. Where have those photo's gone, and why can I still see them in the film strip if I have stupidly deleted them (I hope I haven't by the way!)
I've tried "Examine and repair iPhoto Library file permissions" and rebuilding the thumb prints, but neither fixes these problems.
(I've also done the close, re-open iPhoto and reboot the laptop scenarios!)
Can anyone help me please? Any, and all advice welcomed!
Thanks in anticipation
Westie
Oh - it's iPhoto 11 version 9.2.3 I'm using and I'm running it on a MacBook Pro running Max OS X 10.7.3

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .
Regards
TD

Images do not show in film strip

When in either Library or Develop my images in the film strip do not appear, unless I click on the grey rectangle. Can someone give me some advise please

OK - there were some presets left in the develop module that were apparently the offending gremlins. Deleted them from within Lightroom and from windows explorer. Print module back to normal. I think they were develop presets created for Lightroom 4 that I had also downloaded/imported that were creating the problems. Thanks anyway.
