Filter images in individual folders by file type

Bridge 2.1 has this feature and I find it extremely fast and speeds up my workflow when I want to view and select only images of a certain file type in an individual folder.
I know you can sort images by file type in Lightroom 1.1 in an individual folder but I find that filtering by file type is much faster with less scrolling.

Thanks very much for your reply.
You have been a great help and your suggestion, command clicking on the file type worked just fine to view only one file type in a folder.
I couldn't find any documentation to command click on the keyword to limit its search to the selected folder. Not in the Adobe help documentaion or Scott Kelby's book. I searched after your reply to my post.
To answer your last comment. Bridge, in the filter pane, automatically gives you a list of file types and the number of files of each type of the selected folder from the files metadata. You make a checkmark to the left of the file type to view only that file type. I'm sure you already know this.
Now that I know that I need command click on the file type, I can do the same thing in
Lightroom, that I can in Bridge. Just a different way to get the same result.
Thanks again,Ian

  • Adding images to rows in a table depending on file type

    Hello,
    Within Visual Composer we have a table which lists documents and contains information about the document type
    i.e. description = 'This is a Word Document', file type = 'application/msword'
    then I have uploaded the images (icons) for the different file types, created a 'Document Type' column (of type image) in the table and assigned the correct boolean statements to determine which icons are shown
    e.g. BOOL(IF(@MIMETYPE == 'application/msword', true, false))
    This is the exact steps explained in the how to: How To… Integrate BI Document Store and SAP Analytics Applications
    But just does not work? It will not display the icons even though the file type (MIMETYPE) is displayed and is correct.
    Any help much appreciated!

    Seem to have fixed the problem.
    By adding a filter before the table view it seems to allow a slight delay which allows the file types to load and the IF statements run correctly and display the correct images for the various file types.
    Still seems that there is a slight Visual Composer Issue there? (but now with a work-around)

  • File-type "Firefox Document (.htm)" images saved to the HD won't open

    Images online occasionally default to file-type Firefox Document (.htm) as opposed to the usual jpg. They will not open even with firefox and display as coding.

    Can you describe in more detail what happens when you try to open the saved movie? I don't know what you mean by "main menu1".
    Since you saved your movie you may find it completely intact in the project's Package Contents folder. Right-click on the project icon (the one with the star on it). Select Package Contents in the drop down menu. In the Package Contents folder you should find a file named (project movie title).iMovieProj. Open that file and see if your movie is intact with all edits. If it is, duplicate it and move it to your desktop. Rename and save it as a new project. Don't otherwise mess with the Package Contents.
    Is your external drive formulated for Apple? Should be MAC OS extended or MAC OS extended (journaled).

  • Lightroom Filter by File Type

    Is there a way to filter in the Library Module by file type.  For example if I just want to view .CRM files.

    In the library module select metadata at the top, you should see 3 columns. Click on the heading for one of the columns and select file type or click in the top right hand corner and select add column.

  • Feature Request: AME Watch Folders file type filter

    Hi,
    maybe I'm posting it to the wrong forum. If so, maybe some moderator can move this thread to the correct forum.
    I'm exporting Quicktime Reference files from Avid, which creates two files: .mov and. wav. Since I'm exporting it to Watch Folder AME automatically converts the wav also. But would be useful to "tell" AME only convert files with mov extension. It's of course possible later to erase encoded sound files but would be convinient to point out only the file types which require converting.
    thank you,

  • Certain files have disappeared from my computer, certain file types remain, and the folders remain. What happened to the files, any way to get them back?

    First I'll give my specs:
    MacBook Pro mid-2009
    Memory: 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB
    Software: OS X 10.9.4 (13E28)
    This evening I woke my computer up and the first thing I noticed was the background image had changed.
    Then navigating through my folders, all files have been removed except for *some" of the following file types:
    Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, CeltX, Final Draft, InDesign.
    Files I know were there this morning and are no longer there are: PDF, MOV, TXT, and others.
    When I "get info" on one of the folders that used to be populated with files, the first file size that shows is the original (i.e. 2.3 gigs) but it quickly updates to the new size of an empty folder (6 mb).
    I have checked to make sure I am still logged in as the correct user, I have reset the PRAM, I have reindexed finder, I have verified and repaired the disk and verified disk permissions. I have used Terminal to show all hidden files, and none of these things have helped.
    No, I do not have a backup that I can restore from. Yes, I know it is stupid.
    Any insight or suggestions are welcome.
    Thank you!

    Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account.  Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

  • File type filter mystery

    I am filtering by file type because I want to make sure all of my RAW (NEF) files are converted to DNG. When I now filter by RAW within the file type I have 467 files there. These files are DNG files and I cannot figure out why they are showing up as RAW's. How can I fix this? With my workflow I should not have any RAW files in Lightroom...
    Thanks,
    KEvin

    I have seen this probllem of misreporting DNG files as  raw, but it was quite a while ago (LR2) and think it only happened when the Convert to DNG command was used. There must be a bug in there, but I've not been able to recreate the problem recently. For a quick fix, I'd suggest saving the metadata back to the files, then removing and re-importing them (using the Folders Synchronise command if they are in lots of folders). Hopefully you've not too much stacking or collections assigned to these pictures.

  • How to see all image file types when saving images without selecting "all files"

    Hallo, and thank you fom reading.
    I am a person who saves a lot of images online in different folders with different names like G - 456 or F - 35.
    I have been using firefox 10.0.2 for a long time because of a bug (I guess) that made it easier to save images.
    When I saved an image it would always show me all the image files in any folder I wanted to save it, and that way making it easier for me to save files with the right names.
    Now with the newer firefox (currently 19.0) whenever I try to save a JPEG I only see the JPEG files in the folder and only way to see the others is by selecting "save as type" all files, but with this I also see all the files that are not images.
    This used to save me a lot of trouble and a bit of time but I dont see anything in the options menu that can help me. Is there a way to recreate this function?
    Thank you for your time.

    I suspect this is a Windows problem. I am surmising the FilePicker uses the Operating System or Desktop facilities. Does Windows 7 offer any other file categories like ''images'' ?
    I do not normally use Windows 7, but may the option depend upon the directory being an indexed one, I ask after finding this thread ''Bring File types tab back'' [http://www.windows7taskforce.com/view/819]
    This question is a duplicate of [/questions/951764]
    Normally I would lock the duplicate question, but in this instance I will leave it open as it is unanswered and someone may give a better reply.

  • How do I filter by file type in Applescript?

    Hi
    I have put together this AppleScript which opens the folder of the currently playing track in iTunes in icon view. The one thing I'd like to do which I can't work out is to filter by file type. I'd like to just have images/jpgs show in the resulting finder window. Could someone help me out with this?
    Thanks
    Nick
    tell application "iTunes"
    if player state is not stopped and class of current track is file track then
    set loc to location of current track
    tell application "Finder"
    reveal loc
    activate
    set curFolder to (Finder window 1)
    set bounds of Finder window 1 to {50, 30, 1870, 1140}
    tell curFolder
    set current view to icon view
    set arrangement of its icon view options to arranged by name
    set icon size of its icon view options to 290
    end tell
    end tell
    end if
    end tell

    OK. Thanks. I can live with finding the JPGs myself. Because they are usually the first files listed when sorted by filename, is there a way of getting the finder window to scroll to the top with Applescript. With the current script it is scrolling to where the currently playing file is.

  • Filter file type for af:inputFile

    Hi,
    I am using jDeveloper 11.1.2.4.0.
    I used af:inputFile to get an image file and save the file to the server.
    Is it possible to filter file types when I browse file from af:inputFile? My users would like to see only image files when they browse in the directory.
    Thanks.
    nat

    <input type="file"> has property "accept", so you can add this attribute after page load, for example:
    <af:clientListener method="onPageLoad" type="load"/>
    <f:facet name="metaContainer">
        <af:resource type="javascript">
            function onPageLoad(evt) {
      // yourInputFileId is id of <input type="file"> element so you need to use firebug or similar tool to find this id
                document.getElementById("yourInputFileId").setAttribute("accept", "image/*");
        </af:resource>
    </f:facet>
    but note that this property is not supported in all browsers (especially in IE )

  • How do I change the desktop Icon for an external hard drive?  I have gone to "Get Info" and tried dragging and dropping  several formats of pictures and the icon changes to the generic image of that file type.

    how can I change the desktop icon for an external hard drive.  Using LaCies and Dimple hard drives.

    One of the things I've found with OS X (at least with Snow Leopard, which is my first excursion into OS X), is that all too often the thumbnail displayed on a file, whether a file created or one downloaded, is a false thumbnail. That is, when you do a Get Info on the file the icon in the upper left is the generic icon for that file type, rather than the thumbnail displayed in Finder. Makes it a bit difficult to copy.
    Apparently Finder uses Preview in the background to generate the displayed thumbnail without actually creating one.
    What I've resorted to doing, particularly with graphic images, is to process them with GraphicConverter - I have its prefs set to automatially add thumbnails and previews. With an individual file this means opening it in GC and doing a Save As. However, a much easier and faster way is when there are two or more such files; I put them in a common folder and drop the folder onto GC. GC then opens them in a catalog view, in the process adding real thumbnails and previews to each automatically. Doesn't take long to do several hundred files that way.

  • When I try to same an image under the command 'save as' it will only let me save as file types 'firefox document' or 'all files' and when I try to look at them later they dont work. How can I save an image as the same file type it is on the web site?!

    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I updated to one of the firefox versions (Not sure which one it was)

    Thanks Alex, but sadly I already tried that. Neither .docx or .xlsx files show up in the content list. They both show as a Chrome HTML document so changing how Firefox addresses those doesn't help since it thinks its the same type of file. I don't think I can manually add files into the "Content Type" left side nav.

  • While using a drop-down menu i.e. File, edit, image, or even when saving as and choosing the file type; the list appears and I am able to highlight what i want but cannot click on anything.

    While using a drop-down menu i.e. File, edit, image, or even when saving as and choosing the file type; the list appears and I am able to highlight what i want but cannot click on anything. This is becoming incredibly frustrating. It happens at random time and a restart of the computer is all that helps, then with out any notice it starts to do this again.  Mac Book Pro i7 2.2 16 GB 1333 Ram, (2) 450GB SSD both internal to machine. At this point I am losing file because I am unable to save in the file type I need. Does anyone out there know how to solve this issue?
    Thanks

    I haven't been unify photoshop much in the past month, but I did try your suggestion and it seemed to work for a while. Today when i went to save a document the same thing happened: click on file>save at this point I can not click on save even though it is highlighted. Tryed to use command s that brings up the save dialogue box, but when I try to change file type I again cannot select it from the drop down menu.
