File and folder import

I just installed Aperture and began to import files and folders from previous photo shoots (stored on a hard drive). I have many original jpgs that I modified in Photoshop and then saved as a separate version with a .psd extension. That means I have hundreds of files like 1234.jpg with a corresponding 1234.psd file. Upon folder import Aperture only imports the .jpg file and I cannot even see the .psd file in the browser when I try to import individual files?!? This only happens if I have used a common filename with different extension. Is this a bug or am I missing something....
I would really like to avoid to rename all my file names in order to import them properly into Aperture.
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Every image in Aperture has a Master. The Master is a file. If you want to control how those files names are organized (remember -- you leave the actual location on the drives up to the OS), use Referenced Masters. If you don't want to worry about this, use Managed Masters.
There is no way to change the Managed Masters file organization.
Aperture is an image management program. The image is the atomic unit of the database. Aperture gives you powerful tools for organizing, storing, retrieving, adjusting, and exporting (by which you create image-formatted files for use by other programs) images. It purposely relieves you of the burden of doing file management (just as long ago OS's relieved you of doing drive platter and sector management -- a task two guys named Bill and Paul made some money off of).
It's not, of course, Steve's way or the highway. You can have each of your images have a Referenced Master. You can either organize these as you see fit in Finder, and then import the files (at which point Aperture creates what it calls an image), or you can use Aperture's tools to manage your Referenced Masters.
The simplest thing to do -- recommended for those new to Aperture -- is to import your files into the Aperture Library and let Aperture manage the Masters. There is a lot to learn to take advantage of Aperture. You can always and at any time convert any Managed Master to a Referenced Master, and vice versa.
All of, and any subset of, your images in Aperture can be sorted by import session, date taken, day of week taken, aperture, lens used, color space, rating, size, bit depth, orientation, file format of Master, and a score of other criteria -- all with one click.
If you use Aperture, your file organization matters only for backup and security.

I want to make a schedular which read xml files from a folder ,import in Indesign template then export as a pdf....

i want to make a schedular probably in Coldfusion or using javascript , which read xml files from a folder ,import in Indesign template then export as a pdf....

I don't think you understand: I want to open Dreamweaver and build a brand new site, then when I am done I want to host the dreamweaver site on the Business Catalyst platform. I dont want to use anything in BC to build the site, I just want to use the hosting platform. I do not want to import a BC site into dreamweaver or anything like that. I just want to use BC the same way I would use godaddy, or uhost or any other hosting provider. Based on your response you said that "of course its possible to build a BC site in Dreamweaver" I dont want to build a BC site, I want to build a Dreamweaver site and host it on the BC platform. Like I said before it doesnt seem like this is possible. As of now we can only build a new site in MUSE and integrate it into BC without using a BC template. Can you understand what I am saying. I DONT WANT TO USE A BC TEMPLATE, I WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH BC WHILE I AM BUILDING THE SITE WITH DREAMWEAVER, JUST LIKE MUSE DOES.

LR 6 stalls on local folder import. Not all my pics get imported.

LR 6 stalls on Import. I'm only importing from a local folder and it keeps stalling and not importing all my pics. Those pics were exported from Apple Photos to a local folder which I'm trying to
to add to LR 6. Nothing is connected to my computer. I've tried many times over to remove the folder in LR and add it again but it behaves the same.
Any pointers? Many thanks!

Actually I have more info now. Poked around on LR as well. I DO see the pixel in LR. BUT, it's only for a split second...after in fully renders, it's gone.
Maybe the preview of each pick has the pixel, but full res Master does not? Isn't there a difference b/w what "preview" you see in Aperture and LR?
Regardless, it must be a hot-pixel in the camera. I have done more importing and it appears to be on a small set of pics from 2-3 years ago. Not on my most recent pics...yet.

Folder import settings! like in Bridge!

hello I recently switched to Lightroom because I can access the same camera raw features with out having to open Camera Raw it self. Here is my problem. I'm used to being able to name folders when I import pictures off my cameras flash card! I don't like the way lightroom organizes by date. for example if I want to goto where I store all my HDR images, I goto the HDR folder I created (and any other subfolder within it) and blamo there they are, lightroom organizes by date. All fine and good if you know what date to look for! pardon me for not knowing if this can actually be done, again I am only new! but can I import the same way I did in Bridge? and to a custom folder of my choice?

You don't have to accept the default setting of LR to organize the imports by date.
In the import dialog on the right sie, in the <Destination> panel, under <Organize> you can choose <By Date> or <Into one Folder>.
Choose <Into one folder> and then click on the folder (in the panel below) you want the photos to be imported to.

Serious FMP12 folder import error

After performing a series of successful operation with Applescript and Text Wrangler I finally end up with a folder with several files UTF8 encoded on my Mac (Snow Leo 10.6.8)
Trying to import this folder as text files (Text files only, no gremlins aka weird characters ) FMP12 keeps importing a folder whose content is not the same as the one I attempt to import.
It returns the same number of files, however as if the last Applescript TextWrangler operations did not happen, example I delete various parts in the text files, and create "pointers" so I can extract fields to create my db automatically.
I rebooted, moved the folder elsewhere, changed the encoding to UTF16, erased FMP12 prefs and db in my user library.
No result.
As the various conversions involve several files, and a lot of time I wonder how FMP12 "remembers" the "wrong folder" and how can I import the folder I need.
Thanks for any help

As well as the questions in the link Jeff posted, exactly what is inside your MOV files, and which version of Quicktime do you have installed?

Music not showing up after folder import !

Hello everybody,
i have some issues since today when i try to import tracks in iTunes, tracks never show up !!!
i did it with many mp3 files (no drm, no copyrights), when i consolid my library all files are correctly moved in the iTunes Library Folder, i can see new tracks in the search box but when i select them nothing happen and i go back to the "global" artists view.
Usually to check my new import before consoliding my library i use the "tracks view" sorted by "added time" column, but same result as others views : new tracks never appears .....
Someone have an idea to fix that ?
Thanks a lot.
PS : my library contains arround 10 000 tracks - 60GB

Hi,
Please cross check privileges for this dashboard.
or,
Create new dashboard and drag one report into the dashboard and see whether your able to see the report in dashboard or not?-- If it is showing might be privileges problem.
Note: Try to login admin user and see.
Thanks,

Anyone have a step by step solution for this.

How did you import the pst-file? Please try to open the pst-file in Outlook and drag and drop all items in it to your Public Folder. See:

ITunes crash on music folder import

Did an erase & reinstall on my G5. Saved music files (iTunes Music) on external drive. Dragging and dropping that music files folder (iTunes Music) into a newly installed, updated & empty iTunes library tab. Copying of files executes until approx 50% finished then iTunes crashes. Repeated three times same result.

If it's only a problem on your account, it could be a corrupted 'CD Info.cidb' file.
Locate it in ~Users/YourUsername/Library/Preferences and drag it to the desktop.
Run iTunes and try again.
More info about this file in this article.
Hope this helps.

Muse no longer remembering last folder imported from

For some reason Muse is no longer remembering the last location I imported from on my computer.. so now every time I upload an asset into a site I have to start at the computer drives location and go from there.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

This is a known issue since the update to AIR 3.8. Refer to the following thread for more information on this - http://forums.adobe.com/message/5559130.

I'm organising my Aperture library today and I'm going to go through my photos folder, import the images to Aperture and then delete the original folders. Just curious if deleting the source folders is a big no-no or not.

Topic title basically sums it up.

Alright. For my case was, my source files are inside the Document folders. Since importing the pictures into Aperture, deleting the source files/folders did not cause any problems with Aperture.
Whether it is a good idea or would depend on how comforatble you are with the idea in the first place. On one hand you can save up precious hard disk space, while on the other if the Aperture library gets corrupted, you might lose everything. Of course, having a backup of the Aperture library helps, as well as a time machine backup of it. On top of that you can also have an Aperture Vault to backup the library to a external drive.
In summary i think a reasonlable backup plan is just as important regardless of whether or not the source file is in which location. For my case, i only have the Aperture library as all of my source. A time machine backs up everything including my library, in addition to that, i also use Aperture Vault to back up to another external drive just in case.

When importing bookmarks, can I import them to a folder other than "Bookmarks Menu"?

I want to import bookmarks from an html file. I would like to keep them separate from the bookmarks I already have in Firefox.
Can I import them into a sub-folder that I create within the "Bookmarks Menu" folder?
For example, I might make a folder "Imported Bookmarks".
I have Firefox 6.0 and Windows 7.
Thanks.

They will be imported into a folder at the bottom of your "Bookmarks Menu" folder.
Simply drag it to where you want it, and rename it to "Imported bookmarks from ....". It will still be somewhere in you "Bookmarks Menu" though.
Unless you import them through the File menu directly from another browser.
Suggest you create a bookmarks backup if you are going to play where you not familiar.

Changes in "Imported Photos" Folder in Lightroom Not Reflected in Lr Mobile

After installing Lr Mobile, I imported all my photos that were on the phone. When I enabled syncing in Lightroom the photos appeared in "Imported Photos" in the Folders section. I then moved them all to other folders. The "Imported Photos" folder was now empty in Lightroom, but the still appeared in Lr Mobile. I then deleted the folder and created a new one. I imported three more photos. Two of them made it to Lightroom. The third one may not have synced because it had done before. Again I moved the photos out of "Imported Photos" and again they still remain in Lr mobile. Is this normal behavior. Do I have to go back and manually delete them?
I have another workflow question. Is there a way to automatically delete photos from the Apple photo app that are auto imported into Lr Mobile? I suspect not, but hope springs eternal. If not is there a camera app that would save photos directly into Lr Mobile?

Thanks Victoria. The sync process created a folder called "From Lr mobile" in my Collections. In it were the folders I had created on my iOS device. One of was set to two way sync. Right clicking on a photo and selecting "Remove from Collection" removed it from the collection on Lightroom and Lr mobile just like Victoria explained. The folder "Imported Photos" is where the photos are stored on the OS X device when the are copied from for iOS device.

I would like to create the a swatch, add it to the library and import to the swatch panel. The help pages available relate to earlier versions of Muse, which does not work with the 2014.2 release version that I have. I have created a library folder, imported the colour swatch as just 4 colours as a mulib file. I drag the four colours on to the muse page in design view but that is as far as I get. Can anyone help? Thanks

I don't know since I don't share anything. You'll have to peruse the help files and check the permissions and ACLs on the Shared folder. According to the permissions on the Shared folder everyone can R&W. If you want those to be inherited by everything dropped into the folder, add an ACL for

How do I move a graphic-box in a document I imported from AppleWorks?

I imported a book which I wrote in AppleWorks without problems into Pages '08. On one page of this book I had created a box, using the graphics tool, and moved it to the back so I could read the text inside it. It is now in the Pages '08 version of my book, but because of editing and additional writing which I've done, it appears on page 295, not 297 where it belongs. In AppleWorks I could simply select it and drag it into place. In Pages '08 I can't figure out how to select it. It's just there.
Help desperately needed.

Here is an AppleScript which, in a single call will
• extract the embedded picture files
• strip the annoying description of the 'background' pictures from the Index.xml file.
So, we may open the Pages document, it will be free of the oddity and the picture files are available in the folder "importés_sétropmi" on the desktop.
--(SCRIPT recupPictures]
Save the script as an Application (Bundle Application if you want to use it on a MacIntel)
Store it on the Desktop.
Drag and drop the icon of a Pages document imported from AppleWorks on the script's icon.
The script will move the embedded picture files in a folder named "importés_sétropmi" on the desktop.
Then it will strip the Index.xml file from the block of datas describing the embedded pictures.
