Freezing a set of images - For protection again any future changes

Hi,
my workflow looks often like this: I import a set of images in a folder like "TODO-xxxxx", then I edit them, and when I finished all editing, I rename the folder to e.g. "Finished-xxxxx".
Now I would like to prevent any changes to these images. So I would like to have a facility in LR which freezes these images. And I would like to see a visual hint (icon or something like this)  so I can easily see what is frozen and what not.
Additionally it would be a good thing if the frozen image files are also set to read-only on the OS file system.
Thanks.
Regards,
Manfred

John,
As much as I don't appreciate you putting me down, you have raised a good point about the value of a plugin for "rescueing" this Lightroom shortcoming:
Please just ignore if you are tired of me going on... This part aimed more at Manfred and other on-lookers than John:
I used to make inadvertent edits far more often than I do now - mostly just by being especially careful, especially with auto-sync.
And, when I made these edits by mistake, it was difficult-to-impossible to tell where I was before, in order to get back. What's changed since then is the 'Export {date}' item added to the history list - which is a godsend IMO. Since I always export after finishing edits, it is easy to see,  when looking at an individual photograph if inadvertent edits have been made, and I simply click on the last 'Export {Date}' item to restore.
If the 'Export {Date}' item had not been added to the history list, I would have written this plugin in short order.
If your workflow does not include promptly exporting after finished editing, another thing you can do is make a snapshot called something like: "Finished...", then you can see if edits have been made after this snapshot was taken...
Granted, this only allows you to see whether an inadvertent edit has been made when viewing a single photo in develop mode. Where a plugin could still provide some added value is in being able to see in library mode, and being able to filter/collect photos with inadvertent edits. And also assuring that even if they get written to the catalog, they are never written to xmp/dng (or at least not without a prompt).
Worth an Lr3 plugin, until we see what Lr4 brings, me-thinks... Gimme a "minute"......

  • Setting background image for repeating frame in .pdf report

    Is it possible to set a background image for a repeating frame, and more specifically for a repeating frame rendered in .pdf?
    I do not see any standard property in the navigator for images of any sort and the documentation touches only on setting background images for graphs, which is not the intent in my case. I -did- add an HTML table property background="myimage.jpg" but the report is ultimately generated in .pdf format and I was not surprised to see that the image was not rendered.
    Does anyone know if setting a background image as described is even possible, and if so, how? A second but less optimum solution would be setting the image as the background for all report pages, again in .pdf.
    Many thanks.

    Hi Raj,
    Yes you can have an image in the background. Thats possible if you are using XML forms as an iview or ivew dev in WebDynpro...
    Also check this [link|regarding background color change in iview]

    Sorry, the service went crazy there.
    Right click the poage header and select insert section below.
    Place the imnage in the lower page header (B probably), and then right click the page header b and select format section (section expert) and select the underlay following sections.
    This will give you an idea of the underlay following sections use, then in future posts try including your software version and technical infomation.

    Sounds like a verification issue on whatever marketplace you bought PS Touch from. Did you try contacting Google or Apple to see what they say?

  • How to set TOC Image for "Import HTML articles"?

    For "Import HTML articles", I set TOC Image (70 x 70 px, PNG) on Folio Builder.
    But at Adobe Content Viewer on iPad, TOC Image doesn't appear.
    I confirmed on Dashboard, TOC Image for "Import HTML articles" appears correctly.

    According to the Page 56, 57, 61 of digitalpubsuite_help.pdf (Last updated 10/4/2011) ,
    "Change article properties" shows how to change TOC preview.
    I changed the TOC previews of some Stacks and the viewer table contents on iPad shows the TOC previews I expected.
    But for the HTML Stack (Import HTML article), the viewer table contents on iPad shows the thumbnail of HTML content (not the TOC previews).
    I confirmed on TOC Preview of Folio Builder and Dashboard of DPS,
    TOC preview for "Import HTML articles" appears correctly.
    What am I wrong?

  • Setting Preview Image for iMovie

    I just created several tutorial videos using iMovie. The videos are embedded in an online course I'm developing. Does anyone know how to set the preview image that appears for the video?
    Right now, the preview image (i.e. the image that appeard under the "play icon" for the video before the video is clicked on) is just a black image. I believe the player that I'm using defaults to the first frame of the video, which is a black screen. Is there a way to change this? Our tech folks said the preview image is a setting within the video, not the player.
    Thanks for your help.

  • How to set Logo Image for each Project Site Seperately in project server 2010.

    Hi,
    I want different logo images to be set for each Project Site of different  project Separately in Project server 2010.
    Scenario is,   we have different Project of different client , each client want different logo for their respective Projects.
    How to accomplish this task?
    Please Help me.
    Thanks

    Hello. Store the logo somewhere accessible, either in a library at the PWA site collection or on the project site, make a note of the URL to the site then navigate to the project site and depending on what logo you want to update you can click Site Actions
    > Site Settings > title and description then update the image URL there. Alternatively, on the homepage of the project site add an image web part then reference the new logo using the URL. Paul

  • Setting preview images for retina mac book pro?

    I love the new retina mac book pro.
    I have set the screen size to a higher resolution howver I was hoping that when I press spacebar to preview my images in finder that I can enlarge to a certain size. Most of the images are very small, and I have to drag manually to the right size even though it is slightly blurred.
    Is there a script I can add so that the window size is set at a certain size so theres no relation to the actual pixel?

    Hello Shashank
    What patchlevel of the 7.30 gui are you using?
    Please try the latest hotfix 1 of patch 8.
    If you drag the resize icon (Bottom right of the saplogon) does the screen display correctly?
    Remember, the saplogon is designed for a minimal screensize of 800x600 which is still
    used.

  • Setting background images for transparent terminals

    Of the various terminal emulators I've tried (aterm, urxvt, terminal) none of them function properly with regard to transparency if the background is set with imagemagick.
    display -window root <image>
    Terminal and aterm do not show through to the background image at all. While urxvt does become transparent, none of the tinting options show any effect.
    This is not a huge issue. There are of course many other programs that can be used to set a background image. When using feh for example, all of the afore mentioned terminal emulators seem to handle transparency as expected.
    feh --bg-scale <image>
    However, if both methods of setting the background are used at the same time with different images, then the terminal emulators will show through to the background image that was placed with feh, while the actual desktop background is that of the image set by imagemagick. So the images are effectively placed on different layers.
    There was a forum thread that hinted at this before, but there was never any resolution to it. Is this behavior a bug or a "feature"? With which program?
    And if it makes any difference I've tried this in both openbox and ion3. Same results.

    derelict wrote:There was a forum thread that hinted at this before, but there was never any resolution to it. Is this behavior a bug or a "feature"? With which program?
    It's a bug with the apps that set the background which use the "old way" of doing it.  Apps like feh use the "newer approach" which allows things such as aterm to detect the real image and use it for pseudo-transparency.

  • Set default image for no image found

    Hi Folks,
    I have a folder full of images and when en images is called form that directory and not found I would like the default image to show up.
    I have added an HTAccess file with this content:
    ErrorDocument 404 default.jpg
    And added a default.jpg image in the directory.
    I have used this approach successfully on a few other sites but in this instance when I open a page with a missing photo I still get the standard ugly missing image icon. However, if I open that image in a new tab I get a page with the text 'default.jpg' on it.
    NOt sure why that happens but I guess it's something about it being a different hosting set up. Perhaps there is another way to do this that will work on this set up.
    Anyone got an idea how I can fix it?
    Cheers
    Dave

    If I remember well, in the Report Attributes, you should select the linked column. At the link image, there are 2 edit images(the default is the big one), but there is one more image which is smaller.
    Hope it helps.

  • How do I set an image as a background for a course homepage?

    I am trying to set a background image for when people visit the homepage (like MOMA and others). Yet, I can't find where/how to do that. Is there any documentation that people of found for the design side of creating an iTunes U course and nav?
    thx,
    Matthew

    Since you are asking in the Course Manager forum, I am puzzled by your question. As a teacher, you can set an image for your course, but there aren't background images for individual courses.
    If you are talking about the institutional pages in the iTunes U section of the iTunes Store, your institution's page is managed by your site administrator (using Public Site Manager), so contact him or her to make the change.

    You can let the container's border draw the background image: caution: some will find this image disturbing.
    One nice thing about this solution is that you don't have to subclass any components.
