How do I automatically Add a Parent Folder?

When I import my images, I copy them to a new folder I create, and I also assign them to a sub-folder called "RAW". They import just as expected, but in the folder structure within Lightroom, only the RAW folder is visible, and I have to right-click to request "Add Parent Folder". Is there a way to have the parent folder appear automatically?
Thanks,
Nick

I am importing from the Parent Folder, and in the Import Dialog Box, I am requesting that they be put into a sub-floder called "RAW". Only the RAW folder shows up in the left-bar list of folders, and this is where I have to request to "Add Parent Folder".

How do I save songs in the Automatically Add to iTunes folder

How do I save songs in the Automatically Add to iTunes folder? Is this done via settings somehow?
Stated another way......songs recently added to my music folders in the iTunes libary are not updated in the media library automatically. How do I save songs in the Automatically Add to iTunes folder?
Still another way......I'm trying to backup songs in my iTunes library by dragging them into a flash drive. But I noticed that not all songs are included in the iTunes Media folder from which I am making my backup file. Is there a better way to do a backup? If not, how do I get the iTunes Media file updated to include all songs in my iTunes library?

Automatically Add to iTunes folder is not working in iTunes 10

I recently installed iTunes 10 (x64) on my Win7Pro computer. iTunes does not seem to do anything with the Automatically Add to iTunes folder. The only things I have done so far are to set the main music folder to my server folder (for backup purposes) and set it for iTunes to manage my files. So far, I have added folder and files to the Automatically Add to iTunes folder but nothing happens, even after reboots of either iTunes or my computer. Any info or setting I am missing to make this happen would be appreciated. Thank you for your time in advance.

yeah. . .
this "feature" is wonderful. . . if you want to throw away all your music....
I wanted to use iTunes to organize my music via iTunes library folder organization... you know "Artist\Album\Track No - Title"
so -
I installed iTunes 10
In preferences, I set my iTunes media folder to "D:\Media Files"
went to my windows media library folder,
hit ctrl+a, ctrl +x to 'select and cut' all the subfolders
went to the "Automatically Add to iTunes" folder that was created by iTunes under "D:\Media Files"
hit ctrl+v to paste
Watched "Automatically Add to iTunes" start filling with the folder it had "cut"
And watched as the folders then started to go away (i assumed that iTunes was doing its magic and organizing them under "D:\Media Files\Music")
when done. . . "Automatically Add to iTunes" was completely empty...
and so was the iTunes library. . . and nothing in "D:\Media Files\" except for:
"D:\Media Files\Automatically Add to iTunes"
and
"D:\Media Files\.iTunes Preferences.plist"
furthermore. . . no folder named "not Added" which is were they were supposed to go if the autmatic add to library failed.
did a search from the command line:
dir D:\*.mp3 /s/b
and
dir D:\*.mp3 /s/b
in both cases. . . "file not found"
thanks crapple. . . I just lost about 2 grand in music that I actually payed for as well as 10 years of music collecting.
google "unit testing." you novices should look into it.

Automatically Add to iTunes folder is not working in iTunes 10.1

Hello,
I have a problem since the iTunes Update 10.0->10.1.
The "Automatically Add to iTunes" folder is not working in iTunes 10.1.
Whenever I put mp3-files in that folder, iTunes only adds these files when I start iTunes. I put some new files in this folder and nothing happens. Only when I restart iTunes the mp3s are added to my library.
Greetings
Thomas

It always worked that way. iTunes only acts on that folder if iTunes is running. It does not have to be playing, but it does need to be open.
If you add files to the Automatically Add folder while iTunes is closed, they will sit there until iTunes is restarted.

ITuned 9 "automatically add to itunes" folder does not add files

Help! I am new to iTunes 9, just built a Win 7 HTPC works well but now wanting to add all of my music to iTunes. Have approx 7k songs in iTunes but when I drop any other folders into the Automatically Add to iTunes folder created by iTunes it does nothing with the files. They are not added to the library, they are not moved or deleted.
It makes no difference if I re-start iTunes or if I give the application Administrator privilages. Help / ideas please...

I too, have an external drive and it works for me.
The "Automatically Add to iTunes" folder should be in the "iTunes Media" folder on your Music drive. I created a shortcut to this folder and put it on my desktop. I can drag mp3's to this shortcut and they get added to iTunes.
Check your iTunes Advanced Preferences. The "iTunes Media folder location" should be "/Volumes/Music/iTunes Media". You *may* have to check "Keep iTunes Media folder organized".

Based on wich file information does iTunes sort music in "Automatically add to iTunes" folder?

Hey I have some files ( here 3 for example).
I put them into the "Automatically add to iTunes" Folder.
After that iTunes sorts them without any problem.
But based on which information does iTunes sort them?
I looked into the details of the file but i cannot find the structure.
Look at your self:

Past experience suggests that iTunes doesn't handle files with multiple tags well. I've not worked out which tag gets read when there are multiple tags but I've seen cases where iTunes can update one while reading back unchanged data fom the other.
At the file level iTunes will organize the files first by Album Artist, or if blank, Artist, or if blank use Unknown Artist. If the tracks have the custom iTunes property Part of a Compilation = True then they get stored in the Compilations folder instead of under their artist.
The next layer of folders is based on Album title or Unknown Album if none given.
FIles are stored in the format [[<Disc> ]## ]<Name>.<Ext> where leading disc numbers are omitted if the the disc no. reads 1 of 1 or 1 of <Blank>.
Tracks with the same Album Artist or Artist and the same Album title should be grouped together in iTunes as albums.
Within the iTunes interface sorting is based on the first non-empty value from Sort Album Artist > Album Artist > Sort Artist > Artist and Sort Album > Album.
See Grouping tracks into albums for more info.

HT3832 "Automatically add to iTunes" folder. Where do my files go?

Where do my pdf files go after I add them to the "Automatically add to iTunes" folder?
They appear on my iPad okay, but I cannot find them on my PC any longer

They should go into the Books folder. Locate one of them in the books section of the library, right-click and show in Windows Explorer.

How do I automatically add filenames as keywords?

Subject: How do I automatically add filenames as keywords?
First, I still don't understand why anyone would want to search by file name if search by keyword was available.
Putting the file name into a keyword essentially defeats the purpose of keywords. If you have 1000 files in your Lightroom Library Module, then you have 1000 distinct keywords, and I can't see how that is useful to anyone.
But the bottom line is that I don't think Lightroom has the capability of putting file name into the keyword field.

Automatically add to itunes folder has stopped working

Possibly since the recent update to itunes 10.2.1, the automatically add to itunes folder has stopped doing anything. I put music in it and then run itunes. The music stays in that folder and isn't added to the library. Has this feature been disabled? Am I missing something? Previously was working absolutely fine.

Hi, welcome to Apple Discussions.
It still works for me. Double check that your "iTunes Media" folder in preferences matches the folder containing the *Automatically add to iTunes* folder in question. Failing that there could be a permissions problem. Make sure both your account (or Everyone) and SYSTEM have full access to the iTunes folder and all objects below it.

"Automatically add to iTunes" folder download issues...

I've set the downloaded files location on my browser as the "automatically add to itunes" folder so that music I download automatically adds to itunes. But it seems to not like me downloading things straight to that folder - files get interupted or corrupted right at the end of the download. Any help?
Btw I'm a totally new mac user. This worked on my old pc so expected it to be okay here...

Apple do explain that you shouldn't put partial or progress files in their article "iTunes 9: Understanding the "Automatically Add to iTunes Folder"
However, the thing that bugs me about this folder is that there is seemingly no standard interval for iTunes to check and add new songs - sometimes they sit their for days, sometimes only seconds (before they are automatically) - sometimes they never get processed at all.
I wish there was a way to stipulate the check interval, or even better (because the process is especially flaky/spooky) to manually force the add (yes, I know you can drag and drop the add, but that defeats the point).

How do I create a new parent folder in my LR3.6 catalog?

I am trying to follow the LR Queen's advice for simplifying my existing catalog, in order to move it to a new computer and to then upgrade to LR4. When I right click on a top folder, and click "Add parent folder", I do not get a new visible parent folder, and my existing folder disappears from view. Help!

The <Add parent Folder> feature is not for creating parent folders but for making parent folders visible, in case they are not visible.
To crate a parent folder just create a new folder by clicking on the + sign in the header of the Folders Panel, just at the right edge of the black bar with the word "Folders".
Then drag-and-drop the other folder(s) on top of this newly created folder.

How do I automatically add objects to a profile when I add a Z tcode?

Hi,
I've noticed that when I add some SAP standard tcodes to a role menu it automatically adds certain objects in the profile. How do I make this happen for my own Z tcodes?
I have created a tcode ZSTMT for one of my programs. In the program I'm checking object F_BKPF_BUK so I'd like PFCG to automatically add this object to a profile when I add the tcode to the menu structure. How do I do this?
Thanks,

How do I automatically add a background/watermark to a PDF?

Hi!
My name is mike and I am working on an invoice draft. The invoice is created within Microsoft Access and will be printed out on the Adobe PDF printer.
I'd like to automatically add a background with some graphical details (which is not possible with Access in my case) to the PDF when printed out to the specific PDF printer.
Now I have a background preset and I do have to select it every time and save the changes, which is quite time consuming when there are many invoices.
I appreciate your help and thank you in advance!

How do I automatically add email addresses to the address book?

I'm trying to work out a way to ensure incoming messages to Mail with a specific phrase in the subject line will have their email addresses automatically added to a specific group in my address book. Any ideas?

I have one that is close, so I have made a couple of changes and it MIGHT do the job. I recommend backing up your address book before trying. You will need to change the script at line 3 to use whatever group name you want. The script will most likely fail if the group does not exist. This version has had very limited testing, and in particular there is no error handling built in - I don't know how it will behave if the sender of the mail has not provided a two-part personal name.
Store the script in your (not the system) Library/Scripts/Applications/Mail and point your rule at it. You will also be able to use it by selecting messages in mail and using the Scripts menu.
