  • How to change the storage location in Lightroom 3.6.?

    How to change the storage location in Lightroom 3.6.?
    I use my internal hard drive NTFS of my MacBook Pro  as my storage location of Lightroom 3.6. being installed in Snow Leopard now but the data of my photos get too big now. I have two fast and big external hard drives eSATA now which I want to use for my data/photos. I know how to copy the data from one hard drive to another but I don't know how to change the settings in connection with Lightroom easily. I still want to watch all fotos on my MacBook Pro but don't want to save any fotos on my internal harddrive any more. Isn't it possible to have the programm Lightroom on my internal harddrive but the data on two times on two different extermal hard drives? If I look at Lightroom - settings of catalogue - I see that the internal harddrive location is my storage location now but I my two external harddrives don't appear as folders. Why? How to change that so that the external hard drives appear in Lightroom and I can watch all my fotos immediately (sometimes using external hard drive 1 and sometimes using external hard drive 2)?
    My external hard drives are in HFS+ but I use the software of Paragon so that there shouldn't be any problem to read and write the data (I use also Final Cut Express so my external hard drives are HFS+ and not NTFS).
    I want to impert many data from CDs - should I copy the fotos first to my external hard drive and then import it into Lightroom or is it easier to import the data directly from the CD in Lightroom so that I don't have to name the folders two times?
    I see that I have to sort the fotos from the CDs in new different folders and an used to do that in Finder of my MacBookPro. In Lightroom I don't want have to click each of hundreds of fotos to be able to put it into the right folders ... But how to import only a part of a CDs quickly into the right (newly created) folders?
    Kind regards, Karin

    Would you really leave the names of photos like DSC05271.ARW and DSC05271.jpeg etc.?
    What if I name them f.i. like ...
    2013-09-11_Austria_1_mountain.jpeg
    2013-09-11_Austria_2_mountain.jpeg
    2013-09-11_Austria_3_valley.jpeg
    I would NOT do this. I would not change the file name.
    I would add keywords and other metadata to the photos to identify the content of the photos, and from that point on, I would use keywords and other metdata to search for these photos.
    However, let's look at the big picture. I think there are three different methods of organizing
    Organize via keywords and other metadata, and not via operating system constructs such as file name and folder name
    Organize via operating system constructs such as file name and folder name, and not via keywords and other metadata
    Some combination of 1 and 2
    You can choose any one of the three methods above, the choice is yours. I am a very strong believer that for most people (and it sounds like you are one of those people), method 1 is the best method. However, not everyone agrees.
    There are drawbacks to using file names to identify your photos. One big drawback is that you must type the information into each photo's name, and this is more tedious than if you wanted to assign the keyword "mountain" to the photos, you can assign the keyword to multiple photos at once. Also, if you mis-spell the information in the file name on any photo, you have just made the photo much harder to find; whereas in Lightroom, the keyword can be assigned via a mouse click (so you can't mis-spell it), or by typing the first few letters and Lightroom (auto-fill) will find the correct keyword name. So using keywords is a much simpler way to go.
    .. is this much too complicated to do that in Lightroom or even dangerous to got lost of photos?
    It is very simple to add keywords, as I explained for this case. Create keywords "Austria", "Mountain", "Valley"; then select the desired photos, and then click on the check box next to the keyword name. It is much more complicated in my opinion to rename the photos in this manner.
    There is less danger in doing this via keywords than the danger doing this via file names, because of potential mis-spellings.
    If I spend a lot of time in editing photos (in Lightroom or Photoshop) I don't want that I loose those photos f.i. later if Lightroom won't be the software I use regarding the photos (in 10, 20 years?!)
    Lightroom will OPTIONALLY write your keywords and other metadata to the files (or sidecar files in the case of RAW). Every photographic application I know of (and I'm sure those in the future) can read the keywords and other metadata. So if you ever want to switch to some other software, your keywords and other metadata are available. you can turn this option on via Edit->Catalog Settings->Metadata, check Automatically Write Changes to XMP.
    So I have to create two folders - one with the originals and one with the edited exported photos?
    No, you do not have to create two folders. You don't have to export everything, but if you do, you can put the exports wherever you want, including putting them in the same folder as the originals, with different name.
    Why not edit them in Photoshop and save them in the second folder which I import later in Lightroom? Because it takes longer?
    Wow, you really need to think about: Why are you using Lightroom?
    Could you explain this to me? Why are you using Lightroom?
    If your goal is to edit the photos in Photoshop, and then put them in folders with whatever custom name you want to give them, then what is the benefit of using Lightroom? You can do all of this WITHOUT Lightroom. You keep explaining that your intended goal is to use Photoshop and folders/file names, and this is a goal which AVOIDs all benefits of Lightroom. I can't understand what you think the benefits of using Lightroom are for you.
    It is starting to sound to me like Lightroom is not the right software for you.
    Some people want to see a movie on their TV and are able to watch a DVD (not all!). Flickr seems to be a solution for movies in a big size (many GBs) to share them with friends (?)
    You haven't mentioned this before, and you should check the rules on Flickr regarding how long a video you can upload.

  • How can i add STORAGE LOCATION field which is not...............

    hi,
    sap gurus,
    good morning to all,
    how can i add STORAGE LOCATION field which is not in the standard tables namely
    KOMP, KOMK, and KOMG.
    how to include it in our FIELDS FROM FIELD CATALOGUE.
    if we include this field is there any impact on the standard tables.
    plz let me know this.
    bcz
    we are selling our products in two ways
    (1). one is straight from factory ie direct sales from factory
    if customer asks for excise invoice then we will sell thru factory and keeping freight in mind we will
    deliver him which ever is economical either rail or road.
    before coming to second case of selling the goods
    we will do STOCK TRANSPORT ORDER from plant to different storage locations.
    if we did STO thru road we have to sell the goods thru road only.
    if we did STO thru rail we have to sell the goods thru rail route only.
    (2). if the customer is not asking any excise invoice then we will send the goods thru depo/storage
    location which is not registered under excise.
    if the goods came by road then it will be delivered by road only.
    if the goods came by rail then it will be delivered by rail only.
    my logic here is
    basing on the
    storage location, transportation types, and distance i want to create condition record
    that captures exact frieght at the sales order level.
    confirm whether i am right or wrong.

    Hi,
    It is not recommended to add new fields to any SAP standard tables. It disturbs the whole SAP functionality.
    But if you have no choice expcept to change the standard tables to meet your requirement -  then you need an access key to modify the object, which is available from the market place.
    Nevertheless, the better option is to create a 'Z' table with the required fields and use that accordingly.
    Changing standard tables will have serious impact when you apply patches or do an upgrade on the existing functionality.
    REWARD POINTS IF HELPFUL

  • How to pre-configure wireless locations

    Does anyone know how to pre-configure wireless locations that can them be pushed to several computers via ARD?
    We are taking admin rights away from most users, which means they cannot create a wireless location. I need to find a way to have a file or files that are preconfigured with the locations we need (on lab and off site) so they can connect to our private wireless network on lab, and then just plain old dhcp off site. I've tried modifying the preferences.plist and networkinterfaces.plist, but it puts MY computer information throughout, and that is not acceptable.
    I UNIX command or script would be better.
    Any help is appreciated.

    Hi.
    2 things -
    1. use T3StartupDef interface for startup classes
    (http://edocs.bea.com/wls/docs61/javadocs/weblogic/common/T3StartupDef.html).
    2. check out the example code in
    examples\i18n\logging\startup\UserSMessagesStartupImpl.java. This is a
    startup class that uses T3StartupDef and binds to the JNDI tree.
    Hope this helps,

  • How to exempt a storage location from MRP run

    Hi all,
    How do I exempt a storage location and all its materials from MRP run.
    I am creating a new storage location and this should not be considered for MRP and  no idoc should be generated if a purchase order or a delivery is created from this storage location( should we stop entering this storage location in BD64 filters or anything more to prevent triggering of the idoc).
    Can somebody please through some light on these issues. 
    Kind Regards

    Hi
    You need to set up master data for that material.In Mrp-4 View  set  storage location indicator as 1(one) .In this case your storage location stock will be exclude from MRP .

  • How to change the storage location using BAPI_OUTB_DELIVERY_CHANGE

    Hi !
    I want to do batch split in the delivery using BAPI_OUTB_DELIVERY_CHANGE.
    Can anyone tell me how to pass/change the storage location of each batch item.
    Is there any other BAPI that can do the batch split and populate the storage location also for the split batches?
    Regards,
    Firoz.

    Hi all,
    BAPI_OUTB_DELIVERY_CHANGE  can be used to do batch split and updating storage loaction against each item of an outbond delivey.
    I have done that in the folllowing way:
    1 > Firstly i have updated the storage location for each delivery item using 'BAPI_OUTB_DELIVERY_CHANGE' passing some mininal parameters.
       Fetch the item details from LIPS table based on the outbound delivery and pass the corresponding fields to item_data, item_control  and item_data_spl parameters and passed into intenal table li_lips.
    Loop at li_lips inti lw_lips.
        lw_item_data-deliv_numb           = lw_lips-vbeln.

    Here you have to pass the same thing along with actual delivery qauntity and different batches to do batch split.

  • How to change the storage location while create delivery?

    Hi all:
       I have to question to trouble you,when I create a delivery with reference to a sales order,however every time it set storage location 'FG10' to the delivery automatically.I can modify it, but how to modify this default value?the sales order haven't information about storage location.
       thanks.
    Best regards
    lance

    Hi Lance
    Please try this:
    In SPRO, go to Logistics Execution - Shipping - Picking- Determine Picking location - assign picking locations
    here, for the reqmt plant and shipping point and storage conditions, define the applicable storage location. If you are not assigning any storage conditions in you material master, you may leave it blank. Storage conditions can be defined in the Material master in General Plant Data / Storage view.
    After maintaining this, try creating a delivery and see if the delivery gets created in the required storage location.
    Please reward points if this helps you

  • How do I maintain storage location for Planned Orders in APO

    Dear all,
    Can you help us in maintaining storage location for planned orders in APO. The storage location from material master need to be updated in product master of APO and the same shall be automatically picked from product master during Supply Network Planning run.
    Material master CIF is live.
    We have got the following content error in CIF consistency check. How ever this is nt goging to harm any thing, but we would like to maintain in both R/3 and APO.
    Error:
    Plant and storage location in SAP APO: 2004
    Plant and storage location in SAP R/3: 2004 FGPA
    Thanks in advance
    Ram Mohan Rao Kolanupaka

    Instead of maintaining additional master data, i would rather use CCR user exits to switch off comparison of planned order at storage location level if the APO storage location is blank. This way you would not have to make changes to PPMs everytime a new scale out of the solution happens.
    In SE18 check the user exit /SAPAPO/CIF_DELTA3 (interface RELEVANT_FOR_COMPARE_ORDHEAD)
    If it is not possible to switch off this comparison then I guess changing master data is the next step. Do explore with a developer though about the first option.

    You're a bit confused.  You can not buy more storage for your iPad.  It is what you bought the day you bought it.  So, a 16GB or a 32GB or a 64GB iPad can not be increased.  What you bought was more Cloud storage.  Apple gave you 5GB of cloud storage for free.  Once you've used that, you need to buy more.  Don't confuse that with adding storage to your actual iPad.  Two completely different things.

  • How can we enter storage location in the Thirdparty order processing?

    Hi Friends,,
    Created one sales order with third party item.PR is generated automatically and wrt PR,PO is generated.I need to post first these stocks in my plant then my copany wil send to customer from my storage location.The material is not directly delivering to customer from vendor.Where can i do settings for this.
    Thanks in advance...KB

    I think your (original) question was why you cannot receive the third-party item into your SLoc and that question has been answered.
    Your second question is a new one. The solution for your scenario might be individual purchase order scenario: you receive SO > SO automatically creates PurReq > you convert it into PO > GR with ref. to PO > you can ship out the goods to your customer.

  • How do I control storage location for iPhoto, iDVD and iMovie

    My primary drive is getting full and I note that my User file has all of the iPhoto images, iDVD projects and iMovie projects.  I want to take these collections off the main drive and place them on one of my external hard drives to open up space on my primary drive (the one with the Applications, etc.) How do I control where my images and movies are filed when I use the above applications? I do not recall designating any save function to this folder or drive.  How can I save these files in a location on my external drives in tthe future? If I move these images and movies from my User file, will that cause a problem for iPhoto or iMovie or iDVD in finding the files in the future as I use these applications?

    Hi
    They are using three different concepts - VERY UNLIKE APPLE to do like this !
    • iPhoto saves in a iPhoto library and there can be more than one - using the alt-key during up-start let's You to select which one You want to use and on Main Hard Disk at Root level in Photo folder.
    • iDVD - Save an iDVD Project file (sort of folder) where You want to find it.
    • iMovie - saves Event's and Project's in iMovie Event's resp Project's folders AND ONE MUST NOT alter or move anything in them or location of them - Moving Event's and Project's MUST BE DONE inside the iMovie Application !
    So while one can move iMovie Event's and Project's to another Mac - the needed Photos (and audio from iTunes) will be missing and very hard to get iMovie on second Mac to find and recognice.
