Filtering out pictures in sub-folders when browsing a volume

Hello all. Here what I'm hoping to do: if, for example, I want to add "image.jpg" which is in folder "MyPictures"
But I have a lot of other pictures in the MyPictures folder--and more importantly, many, many more in subfolders:
MyPictures>Folder1
MyPictures>Folder2
MyPictures>Folder3>Subfolder2.1
MyPictures>Folder4
and so on. In the Import screen, if I select MyPictures, it not only shows me thumbnail previews of the images in MyPictures, but of those in ALL the subfolders therein.
Is there any way to show the previews of the selected folder ONLY, and not the subfolders it contains?
FWIW, this is LR 3.2 on Mac OS 10.6.5

In the Import dialog, there's a checkbox at the top of the Source panel that says 'include subfolders' - turn that off. If you ever need the same in the main Library module, it's Library menu > Show Photos in Subfolders.

How can I collapse all my sub-folders when bookmarking a page?

In Safari when I go to bookmark a page all my sub-folders and their own sub-folders are shown,
Is there a way to collapse them all into just the main folders and then being able to choose the correct sub-folder from them to bookmark the page.
I have about 50 main folders but a few hundred sub-folders so when I go to bookmark a page it's very time consuming and annoying.
In Firefox just the main folders are shown, so I just choose the main folder and expand that and choose the appropriate sub-folder, Job done in seconds!
Many thanks in advance [ I hope! :-) ]

Unlocking All Folders and Sub Folders When Sharing

Is there a way to share files and unlock them automatically. I Have many hundreads of excel and word docs in folders and sub folders.
After a day scratching my head trying to work out why I could not save them on the shared computer I realized that I needed to unlock the folder.
Excel does not have in its preferences anything that suggest this....it gets old real quick opening each file and then typing my computer password for each folder/ file etc....truly hope this can be done.
Thanks in advance!

Anyone???

How can I move pictures to different folders while browsing in fast-preview (space)? Can I make any keyboard-shortcuts to move or tag a photo while looking at the pictures in this mode?

When I look at the thumbnails in finder, I press enter to look at the picture. And I scroll down to look at the other pictures. I want to move or delete the images when I look at them this way... Any suggestions? I would think that there was a program for this...?
Thanx in advance!

GraphicConverter can do that.
When you drop a folder full of image files onto GraphicConverter, it automatically opens them all in a catalog-style window. You can then select each in turn and use keyboard shorcuts to move the selected one to a target folder of your choice. I believe you can have up to 30 different target folders preset for this purpose.
GC also provides a host of other file manipulation features.

How do I create sub folders for imported pictures in iPad albums?

I have imported some photos to my iPad for a presentation. The pictures were in different folder under the main folder. After I import the main folder the sub folders are deleted and now all the picture are in one folder. How can I keep the original main folder with sub folders when importing pictures in iPad photo?

Not within the Photos app, but there are other photo management apps in the App Store which allow you to create albums within albums e.g. Photo Manager Pro - that app lets you copy photos to/from the Photos app and copy photos via iTunes : Photo Manager Pro help pages.

Switch to BT Mail has deleted all my sub-folders

I have just moved from BT Yahoo to BT Mail, following the instructions BT provided. On my PC I use Windows Live Mail. Previously, all my (thousands of) emails were organised into numerous sub-folders dropping down from the Inbox tab, so I knew where everything was. These have all been deleted so all my emails are now in one big mass in the Inbox. Also, I don't have any emails received prior to 2010, and I'm sure there were some there before. Can anyone help?

If it was a POP3 account, which I suspect it was because most folk set up Windows Live Mail as a POP3 account, you will have lost all your sub folders when you deleted it. Luckily you still had the emails on the server which enabled them to be downloaded when you re-made the account. It would however not remake the folder structure as this was on your PC within the email account that you deleted.
You could try searching for the emails by going to Start > Search > type .eml into the search box. This should find all the Windows Live Mail emails on your computer.
If it was an IMAP account, this would have replicated the folder structure that was set up on the email sever unlike a POP account folders which are on your PC. When you deleted and re-made the account this would have set up the folder structure as it was previously because it replicates the folders on the email server. Because it has not done this is another reason why I suspect your deleted account was a POP3 account. If it was IMAP you would have the folders that you had previously.
It may be that if it was an IMAP account that you had, the folders could still set up although I have my doubts. You could try a computer restart to see if it sets them up.
As regards the pre 2010 emails, they may have been deleted from the server by you at some point so they would not now be there to be downloaded.

Solution to using Site Root with Sub-folders on Testing Server & Browser Previews

Hi Everyone
Have found an elegant solution when using Site Root relative linking for a website, that allows browser previews, even when the testing server uses sub-folders and the live code references just the server site root " / " of the live server and not the sub-folder structure of the testing server. This is really useful when you don't want to use document relative linking, which normally takes care of this problem in Dreamweaver.
The solution is to use sub-domains referencing the sub-folders on the testing server, so the sub-folders appear as the root of each website and the html code pointing to the site root works correctly on both testing & live servers without alteration.
Testing Server Setup
One testing server domain is used for all client development work:
For example: www.testingserver.com
On the testing server there are multiple sub-folder (one for each client website being developed):
For example: www.testingserver.com/clientA/ , www.testingserver.com/clientB/ , www.testingserver.com/clientC/
Live Server Setup
The site code needs to be developed with the final live server folder structure (url references) in mind:
For example: www.livesite.com (with all pages referencing the root of the live site server)
Page URLs on Testing & Live Servers
/page-name.html
Testing server url: www.testingserver.com/clientA/page-name.html
Live server url: www.livesite.com/page-name.html (without /clientA/ sub-folder)
Browser Previews Don't Work
You want to be able to run browser previews on the testing server while developing the website. To do this you normally have to reference the sub-folder structure of the testing server in the url for things to work right:
For example www.testingserver.com/clientA/page-name.html
What do you do, when you can't keep switching all the urls in the code from pointing to the sub-folder to pointing to the site root, and you don't want to use document relative linking?
One Solution - Sub-domains on Testing Server
In your domain hosting (outside of Dreamweaver) setup a sub-domain to point to the testing server sub-folder.
For example: Sub-domain clientA.testingserver.com points to www.testingserver.com/clientA (sub-folder)
So now when you reference the sub-domain it sees the sub-folder as the site root and all your problems are solved.
Dreamweaver Site Definition Setup
Site Definition under "Local Info"
Links relative to: Site Root
Site Definition under "Remote Info" (live server)
Access: FTP
FTP host: ftp.livesite.com
Host directory: /
Site Definition under "Testing Server"
Access: FTP
FTP host: clientA.testingserver.com
Host directory: /
URL prefix: http://clientA.testingserver.com
(location of the site's root folder on the testing server, the sub-domain redirection takes care of pointing to the sub-folder)
This is just one solution but it works well for me as it doesn't have any cost associated with it under our hosting package where you can have multiple sub-domains setup.
Hope this helps someone in a similar situation.

Just Google it, or run out and buy a copy of David Powers' Foundations Dreamweaver CS4 with CSS, Ajax and PHP, a book that is never out of reach for me. He details the process explicitly for both Mac and PC.
For me, on W7, I edit the C:/Windows/System32/drivers/etc/hosts file, and add the ip of my testing server along with the site alias -
192.168.1.82 site.local
Then I add this same designation to my httpd.conf file in Apache on the testing server. Finally I restart Apache.
Now from my production machine if I browse to "http://site.local", I get to see either the default file in the root of the site on the testing server, or a directory of the site on the testing server (my testing server is a unix box running on my LAN at that ip address). Furthermore, all of my root relative links now work as they would if the pages were being browsed from the live server.

Photos Out of Sequence in Sub-Folders in iPad Photos App

I use my iPad when working with ballplayers. Specifically, I use the Photos app with sub-folders for each set of photos. I have tens of thousands of photos in a hundred or so folders. It's very important that the photo albums be in numerical order (the photos are all named numerically).
This used to work just fine, but now I am finding that, in more and more cases, photos are out of sequence.
I upgraded my iPad specifically for this function, and it's making me look unprofessional and is forcing me to have to explain around the glitches.
Is there any way to control how the Photos app sorts photos and ensure that photos are sorted by the file name and number?
This bug is on the verge of turning a valuable tool into little more than a toy.
P.S. The issue may be related to folders that have a larger number (e.g. 100-200+) of photos in each folder.

Everyone please report this to Apple; you can do so here: https://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
Right now, there's no dropdown selection for iOS 8, but I selected "iOS 7.1.2" and wrote this in the comments after describing the issue: "I am using iOS 8, but there's not dropdown selection for iOS 8 on the following question, so I picked iOS 7.1.2.." Also, for me, the Submit button wasn't there, but it is located to the right of where it says, "Please read Apple’s Unsolicited Idea Submission Policybefore you send us your feedback."
Hopefully the more people that report this, the more quickly they will fix this.

Folder disappears when you try to open certain sub-folders

When double clicking certain sub-folders, the main folder disappears and returns to the desktop. I repaired permissions with Disk Utility and it had no effect. Also verified the disk and it was okay.
I also am getting an "Unable to read file" message on an Excel file that I had no problem opening a couple of months ago. Don't know if this is related or not.

Hi Daniel,
This issue is a fairly common occurrence, and reasons of the problems are variously. We can narrow the reasons down as much as possible.
Please refer to this article, I think the methods of this article are more specific.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/the_microsoft_excel_support_team_blog/archive/2012/05/14/the-definitive-locked-file-post.aspx
And try these solutions step by step. Above all, you should
pay attention to the third solution ” Turn off the Preview Pane, Details Pane and pop ups that show information about file and desktop items”, make sure you have unchecked “Show pop-up description for folder and desktop items”.
If you finish all of methods from this article, the problem still exists. Checking the permissions of users.
For instance, the permission of user 1 is only read and he opens the [shared] file, the document creates a temporary file in the same directory as the original file. Thus the document gets a temporary lock file. When other users open the [shared]
file again, they get the error message “file in use”.
If you want to verify the reason of permission, checking the temporary file. This is a hidden file and it will be the same name as your document, but prefixed with a ~$ symbols.
The easiest way out is to delete the temporary file, but this not a long-term solution. Checking the permissions of users is radically.
Trying these solutions and let me know if they work. I am glad to help and forward to your reply.
Best Regards,
Emi

Folders disappear and come back when browsing micr...

Dear all,
Have searched the forums extensively but cannot find the solution to the following problem:
Windows XP SP2
PC suite 6.84 10 3
Nokia 6233
Micro SD 64MB (came with phone)
Bluetooth connection to ACER 803LMi (working ok)
When browsing the phone via PC Suite, all files and folders on the phone memory (C-drive on phone) can be seen and used. However, when browsing the 'Extra' folder on Micro SD card (E-drive on phone) and clicking on a standard subfolder (pictures, music files, etc), then all these folders disappear one by one and directly come back after disappearing. I can't however for example see the music files in the music folder, although they are there when playing them on the phone.
In addition, it happend also when using the pc suite 6.70 rel 25 that came with the phone but it still also happens with 6.84.
Hope someone can help or redirect me in case I missed the topic if already discussed.
thanks,

Hi Miksu,
Yes, when I tried to copy music with PC Suite, it created a new folder 'Music' and that shows in the phonebrowser including the files in there. I then also changed the destination folder in PCS to the standard 'Extra - Music Files', however it then created a new folder 'Music Files' and didn't use the folder already there.
I'll try to copy some new files in all subfolders under 'Extra' and let you know the outcome of what the phonebrowser does. I'm merely a somewhat senior end-user (understanding what is said in the forums) but not really the go-into-all-technical-details guy. I'm really happy with this phone and don't want to crash it already.
Maybe this topic however can help others.
thanks again,
Coffey

Turn off filters for sub-folders

If filters are applied to a folder and the filter bar is hidden it is easy to forget and wonder why pics are missing. Working through all folders and sub-folders to make sure filters are off for every one is time consuming - would it be possible to have a menu item for "Filters off including all subfolders"?

>you might overwrite a previous (valid) backup
Umm, the catalog backups created by Lightroom are stored in uniquely numbered and dated folders, you also have the option of checking their integrity before opening the application. Even a dumb user would be hard pressed to unwittingly overwrite a backup.
>If you have it checked and you write out the data, that gives you the opportunity to recover your edits in the event of a loss of the catalog file.
If that is "sole" reason for disagreeing with me then you clearly know a heck of a lot less about Bridge / Photoshop / Camera Raw / Lightroom interoperability than I credited you with.
The default double-click behaviour with Bridge CS3 and Camera Raw 4.0 was to open TIFF/JPEGs that contained parametric data into Camera Raw. This drove a lot of folk nuts and was addressed by the inclusion of two new preference settings in Camera Raw 4.1. However, many photographers will pass out TIFF/JPEG to clients or 3rd parties for printing etc. There's no telling whether the recipients of such images have updated to 4.1 or even if they know that the new preferences in camera raw exist.
The Lightroom preference also addressed the situation where users got very ticked off with Lightroom writing development settings back into their non raw files.
I suggest you reread what I wrote in my earlier post, maybe even download a copy of CS3/ACR 4.0, run it in default mode, then let me know how long it takes before you start pulling your hair out.

Filtering files in a folder that are in sub folders

Is there a way to show only the files in a folder that are not contained in sub folders?

Not in Lightroom. The simplest way is to browse the top level folder in Explorer or Finder.

Sub Folders Arrows not turned down When Mail.app Launched

Hello,
I imported some of my Email from Entourage. I have a mail folder "Companies", and several sub folders inside of that. Some of these folders I like to always have open (the little arrow to the left of the folder name turned down).
However, every time I re-launch Mail.app, all the sub folders arrows including "Companies" itself is closed or "turned-up".
Is there anyway to make this "stick" to whatever I had before I quit Mail.app?
Thanks, Scott K.

Hello Scott.
This information is stored in com.apple.mail.plist, so you may try re-creating that file in case there is something wrong with it.
Verify/repair the startup disk first (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
After having fixed all filesystem issues, if any, and making sure that there’s enough space available on the startup disk (a few GB, plus the space needed to make a backup copy of the Mail folder), try this:
1. Quit Mail if it’s running.
2. Make a backup copy of the ~/Library/Mail folder, just in case something goes wrong while trying to solve the problem. You can do this in the Finder by dragging the folder to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down, for example. This is where all your mail is stored.
3. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Preferences/. Locate com.apple.mail.plist and move it to the Desktop (to be deleted if this fixes the problem).
4. If you have a .Mac account and .Mac synchronization of Mail data was enabled either in Mail > Preferences > General or in System Preferences > .Mac, that will interfere with any attempt to get rid of *.plist files. If that‘s the case, after having followed the previous steps, but before opening Mail again, you should go to System Preferences > .Mac > Advanced, click Reset Sync Data, and choose the appropriate options to reset the Mail data stored on the .Mac server with the data locally stored on the computer, i.e. sync data must flow from the computer to the .Mac server so that the same data is deleted from the server as well.
5. Open Mail. You’ll have to set up your non-.Mac accounts from scratch all over again. If given the option to import existing mailboxes or something like that, don’t. Just enter the account information and Mail will automagically rediscover the data in ~/Library/Mail/ when done.
You’ll also have to re-configure most of your settings in Mail > Preferences. For spam-related security reasons, the first thing you should do is go to Preferences > Viewing and disable Display remote images in HTML messages if it’s enabled.
You may also need to re-install or re-enable any Mail plug-ins you have installed for Mail to recognize them.
6. As a side effect of re-creating com.apple.mail.plist, Mail might rename Outbox (which is where messages waiting to be sent are stored) to Delivered. The name of that mailbox is actually a misnomer, as it would contain messages (if any) that couldn’t be delivered for some reason. You can delete that mailbox if you wish.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the folder path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the folder path there.

Bridge Freezes when Show Items From Sub Folders

Hi all. I am trying to create a portfolio of past works. Using Adobe Bridge and Show Items From Sub Folders makes it easy to go through thousands of files. One major problem though; Bridge is not stable. When I try to view a folder with thousands of files Bridge will freeze and I have to force quite.
I am running a Mac Pro with Adobe Design CS4 Premium installed. I have 16gb of Ram and have played around with Bridge's preferences and deleted Bridges preference files. I also tried all the options list on Adobe's check list.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Stephen Thompson

Bridge is not stable. When I try to view a folder with thousands of files Bridge will freeze and I have to force quite.
As a matter of fact, bridge CS4 is the most stable version of bridge, and although still not perfect yo should be able to view the folder in flat view.
It only takes a lot of time to cache if you have not done before. If cache does not start you first should try to purge cache for folder using the tools menu.
If Bridge keeps freezing first thing to try is to restart holding down option key and choose reset preferences. Set prefs again to your own wishes and try again.
You can also try to first cache the folder using the tools menu. In the folderpanel select the main folder you want to view its contents and go to the tools menu / cache and this time select build and export cache.
Depending on the amount and size of files it takes some time. Then try again.
It is able to work, as it does on my system. I have also a main folder that contains around 5000 files organized in stacks and works as it should
