Finished with collections? What now?

Hi All,
To me this questions seems like it must have an obvious answer, and maybe I'm already doing what everyone else does. But since Lightroom is so intuitive when it comes to a professional photographers workflow I was wondering:
How do you all deal with a collection once you're photos are finished developing, and are exported?
Do you disband the collection, knowing that your original photos (and flags) will still be there?
Do you file the collections inside a 'collection set' archive?
Do you export them as a catalogue and delete the collection?
Do you just let them pile up?
OR - is there a Lightroom function I've missed that deals with this for you? There seems to be a Lightroom function for everything else.
Would really be interested in the answer to this!
Cheers,
Asher Floyd

Where they are job-related collections, I usually leave them - they do no harm - though I tend to clear the flags as only the keepers remain. But I do sometimes delete them if I really-really don't think I'll ever use them again to find those images. On the other hand, I also have plenty of standing collections such as >4 star wedding shots, or for particular themes, and sometimes I move a job-related collection into one of those long-running sets.

  • Broken X. Posting with Links! Now what?

    I don't intend to fix xorg. I was going to do a fresh install soon anyway. I just want to ask some dumb questions about what is possible from here. First of all, does pre-startx have a specific name so that I can search more effectively? tty? console? x-less archlinux?
    So far:
    The internet is still there, but much less interesting without the cat pictures and videos. Also, most sites are poorly formatted (suprise!) and don't have much color. On the plus side, I can still listen to loud rap music with mpc.
    I've installed the gentoo bashrc to get the pretty colors and added some of my own aliases. Next maybe trying to add a clock to the PS1. I've also got several user sessions open that I can switch to with Alt+Fn. Although I haven't found many reasons to do this since I can only see one at a time.
    More dumb questions:
    What now?
    Is it possible to see more than one console at a time? (assuming not)
    What about images?  (browser or local)
    Or more output lines?
    How about opening an RDC client to a win server? (ok, longshot)
    Maybe just some tips?
    Or telling me what basic function of linux I'm not grasping?
    Or what I should have read to avoid posts like this in the future?
    If it matters:
    I have fairly new and decent hardware with integrated ati graphics. It's for fun

    Hey guys, thanks so much for all of the useful suggestions. I apologize for any confusion caused by the title. I spent most of my Sunday messing with different things after removing xorg and all of it's dependents. (Went from 1200 packages to 300!) tmux has turned my world upside down. I can actually be productive without X now. I need to read some more about framebuffer and directbuffer. I'm not really sure what's the difference. I read in another post that directbuffer can be thought of as X replacement, is that right? Like wayland? And the framebuffer is where I see everything, like GRUB and the console login...and even X?
    I'm able to view images now, but I can't get any of the browsers quite right. links -g only works for root, although I think I've added my user to all of the necessary groups. I've read the man page for w3m, but I still find it unintuitive to navigate.  The mouse version from the AUR fails to build. The last is netsurf. I've read that it should work in the frame buffer, but that fails to build as well. I did notice that it pulls in gtk2 though. That must be for the X version? Surely toolkits won't work out side of X?
    As far as I could find, those are the only browsers that will load images. The others, elinks, lynx and the rest are text only. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
    Even more dumb questions:
    Can I replace screen with tmux? The tmux wiki says to start it in bashrc, but won't that still be starting it from within screen? Or maybe I should ask: what starts screen?
    How is directbuffer supposed interact with screen or tmux? For example, is it possible to open a links -g window inside of one tmux panel? fbterm isn't working but I'm still not sure what it's for. I suspect that there's an order that I should be using these... Also, why do the multi-directbuffer packages depend on xorg?
    This is kind of exciting (for me) to be able to do all of these things without X. I'd kind of like to force myself to use it this way for a while, but I really need to connect to that  windows server in order to finish up some java classes. That being said: INX looks neat! It might just find itself along side arch on my new ssd.

  • Movie stopped with 11:56 minutes left.  It won't restart.  What now??

    I rented a movie in itunes store.  It stopped with 11:56 minutes left to go.  It won't restart.  What now?

    Thank you for the reply.
    I got home from school at 2 and checked the computer - it still said "finishing backup." Saw your post, changed the name, and restarted. I clicked "backup now" about an hour ago. The backup started at 19.2MB, and right now it's at 36.0GB. Kind of nervous... Here's the log for the current backup:
    Starting standard backup
    Backing up to: /Volumes/Time Machine/Backups.backupdb
    Reloading changed Time Machine preferences
    No pre-backup thinning needed: 100.0 MB requested (including padding), 348.11 GB available

  • I have very thin, colored lines running vertical on my desktop monitor screen.  I don't know where they come from or how to get rid of them.  I started with one and now have three.  Can anyone give me some insight about what to do in getting rid of them?

    I have very thin, colored lines that have shown up on my IMac monitor screen.  I don't know where they came from or how to get rid of them.  I'm concerned now because I started with one and now have three.  Does any know why this occurs or how to get rid of them?

    I got an address from Applecare, although I can't place my hand on it right now. I didn't bother persuing the letter route myself as I didn't expect much. I know that the location was Cork, Ireland though as that where the UK Applecare is based as far as I'm aware. The best thing to do is to call Applecare (if it's free) and discuss the issue. State that you are not happy wit the fact that you will have to pay to have the problem resolved especiiay if it is an ongoing problem that has not been resolved. I ended up speaking to a senior manager of the Applecare team who then proceeded to tell me about mailing in my grievence to customer services division or something like that.
    If I can find the address I may post it if I'm allowed.
    In the case of age, Schools usually have a 5-year life-cycle as they tend to be used differently than consumer machines, i.e. being used constantly on a daily basis for at least 12 hours with no break. you would expect issues to appear after a few years, but I expect problems that arise through defects to be resolved and stay resolved. As I mentioned we had machines for around 2 years before the lines appeared and sent them to be repaired. I'm happy with that. What I am unhappy about is the fact that the problem has reappeared exactly in the same way and now I'm left with around 7 machines that I either pay loads to repair or, the more likely replace the machines with newer ones since the age is now big enough to warrant the replacement.
    Sorry for the lengthy moan, but these are the reasons I purchased Apple ahrdware in the first place to avoid the "not our problem" stance some PC vendors  usually take, similar to the Dell monitors thread mentioned in here somewhere.

  • I have an iMac G4 PowerPC with OS 10.5.? The OS10.5.8 update failed. Now get blue screen and error-can't find Intel Power Manager. What now??

    I have an iMac G4 PowerPC with OS 10.5.? After deleting 17G of music files to make room on the 74G drive, The iPhoto and iWeb updates seemed to load okay, but the OS 10.5.8 update failed - message opened said the computer encountered an error and must shut down. Now I get the blue screen. Startup with 'V' pressed shows multiple lines saying: error-can't find IntelCPU Power Manager. What now?? I  reset PRAM, I think.....?????

    I am concerned that you might have applied a system updated intended for an Intel iMac, while you have a PPC (non-Intel) iMac. Your PPC OS should not be looking for an "IntelCPU Power Manager."
    Have you tried booting from the 10.5 install DVD/CD and repairing the hard drive, plus repairing permissions?
    If you done the repairs mentioned above, and your problem still persists, you can also try doing a safe boot. (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455 ) Then, if none of these things worked, if I were in your shoes (it's hard to diagnose these things without being there in person) I would first check that there is adequate disk space, then I would boot from the 10.5 DVD/CD install disk and reinstall the operating system. There is an option to do an archive and install preserving user files/settings, that would be the option you want, as it will save your files but install a new OS. Make sure you have a good backup of your files first. If you do not have one, use "target mode" to copy all your files before embarking on an new OS install. Assuming that you do succeed with this install, then use Software Update to get the right updates for your iMac.

    Ok, Below is what worked for me somewhat. 
    Okay ... try downloading and saving a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe to your PC from the Apple website:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Now download a trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/download.php
    Open the iTunesSetup.exe with WinRAR, and try to run the standalone install of Apple Application Support from the AppleApplicationSupport.msi you find in there.
    It works now BUT there are still problems.  It is not allowing or recognizing my Cd/DVD player and i CANT burn.  Looking still for this fix.

    There is a new security feature in iOS 7 called Activation Lock. You need the
    AppleID and passcode used to activate the iPad or it will be useless to you.
    There is no workaround.
    Suggest you try very hard to remember that AppleID and passcode. Did you try the
    AppleId you used to log into this forum?

  • I had to reset a PayPal account with iTunes and now I keep getting a your apple I'd has been disabled on both my phone and iPod. I've already done the steps in iTunes on my computer now what?

    I had to reset my PayPal account with iTunes and now I'm getting a apple I'd has been disabled on both my iPad and iPhone. I've already done all the steps on my computer.  Now what?

    They give me that option when I'm setting up my account and I've got all that worked out. But my apple I'd is still disabled on my Mac, iPad, and iPhone. I can't download anything nor can I update any of my apps. I've even changed my account to a credit card and it still didn't help.
    Any ideas?  I've put in a support request. Hopefully they won't take too long.

    Peter,
    Another solution, though not particularly convinient, would be to create a Snow Leopard boot drive on a external drive that you can switch to when you want to run Quicken.

    My Mac shows file with question mark, what now.

    Press the power button down to force a emergency use only hardware shutdown.
    Press and hold the Option/alt key on the built in keyboard, boot the machine.
    If MacintoshHD appears, select it and click the arrow, then in System Preferences > Startup Disk reset that. Done.
    Sometimes a NVRAM reset is required then the above done again.

    If MacintoshHD doesn't appear, or if it boots to gray screen or other issues, then it's more complicated of a fix, but once inside OS X then reset the Startup Disk.

    You might need this if you don't have a recent backup and your problem is software related, Disk Utiltiy can't fix the drive and recommends you backup, erase and install.
    .Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
    If Disk Utility + Hardware Test shows no boot drive, then you have a dead drive or cable, or Mac issue.
