How to import files to picture folder instead of iphoto?

Right now, all of my pictures import into iphoto when I insert my camera card. I really want them to import into the folder I have created for photos. Can someone help?

A - method
1. Open Applications folder
2. Double click on Image Capture application
3. In the Image Capture Preferences select, "when a camera is connected, open: Image Capture.
4. The rest is intuitive
B - method
1. After iPhoto launches quit
2. You should see your camera card on the desktop
3. Open it up and open the folders until you get to the photos
4. Drag the photos you want to the folder you want

    I would like to batch import these into Lightroom (Lightroom CC) and have the folder structure above replicated in Collection Sets and Collections (i.e. one collection set for each year, and within each one have a collection set per month, and within that individual collections for the folders)
    Is there a way to make this happen automatically?
    Many thanks,

    Hi.
    Trash the iPhoto Library folder that you created on your Mac, or rename it "iPhoto Library damaged" if you may need some of its contents. Copy the iPhoto Library folder from the backup into your Pictures folder. Hold down the Option key as you launch iPhoto and select "Choose Library" from the dialog. Navigate to the good iPhoto Library folder and open. iPhoto should launch and open your library in exactly the same condition it was in when the backup was made. If all goes well you don't have to import anything.
    If the library is still missing items, you can try a database rebuild. Hold Command and Option while you launch, select the first 3 options in the dialog, and rebuild. This can fix a library with a slightly damaged database.
    If the library still isn't working you may have to create a new library (Option-Launch, select "Create") and import your Originals folder from the backup library. This will give you the pictures back without creating duplicates, but your albums and other items will not be recovered.
    Regards.

  • HT1766 how do i get the pc to open up the file dialog when i plug in my iphone?  It asked me what to do, and I said to import files and pictures, and now it goes directly to pictures.

    I have a laptop with touch screen and windows 8.  I plugged in my iphone because i wanted to sync my music to itunes.  A box came up and asked what I wanted to do when the phone was detected.  I had 3 choices and do nothing.  I chose import files and pictures.  and now, when i plug it in, it goes right to pictures.  How can i change it so the little file box opens and gives me the option to "import files and pictures?"

    You should install iTunes for Windows and sync your iPhone with it.

  • How do I stop LR4 from organizing imported files into a folder by date.

    How do I stop LR4 from organizing imported files into a folder by date. Most times when I import files I have already created a folder and sub-folder structure tyat I want to use. I then right click the desired folder and choose import into this folder option. Why does LR4 insist on organizing my already selected destination into a sub-folder with a date by default?

    If you do it this way all the time consider a different approach:
    Manually copy your images from the card into your desired destination folder in the Finder/Explorer. Once complete drag&drop that entire folder into Lightroom. When the import dialog pops up select to Add the images to the catalog (not copy or move). You will end up with the exact folder structure reflected in your library.

    How to import photos from a folder that contains hundreds of folders to Photos keeping the same folder structure?

    You'll have to do that manually, i.e. export each album of photos to a folder with the same name located on your hard drive via  the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option.

  • Newbie - Why is iPhoto copying files to Pictures folder when I said not to?

    I'm a total newbie to iPhoto. I literally just installed it for the first time ever about an hour ago, but I am well-versed in the ways of iTunes for example and its preferences the way it works with MP3s on an external drive, and how you can set a folder on an external drive to be the default music location, etc.
    I would have thought that iPhoto would have worked in a similar manner with photos.
    Here's the scenario: I keep all my photos (literally 1000's of them, and quite hi-res.) on a massive external drive, as my main computer's hard drive is (a) quite small, and (b) quite full as it is with other stuff.
    The problem I am having with iPhoto is that before I placed a single photo into its Library, I specifically set my Preferences, under the Advanced tab, to NOT copy files to iPhoto Library folder when adding to Library.
    But then when I placed a whole load of photos from my external drive into iPhoto, I noticed my available free space on my main computer's hard drive had decreased somewhat. So I had a look in Users > Brett > Pictures > iPhoto Library, and sure enough, duplicates of all the pictures I added to iPhoto from my external drive had been copied there too! Why?!?!
    And even more frustrating is that there appears to be TWO copies of each photo on my main hard drive: half in named sub-folders in a "Data" folder set to 360x270 (pretty massive if that's supposed to be a thumbnail!!) and then the other half, at FULL-resolution, in named sub-folders in a folder called "Modified" (not that I've modified any of them, but anyway).
    And with another copy on my external drive, I now have THREE copies of each photo! That's just ludicrous!!!
    I don't want iPhoto to keep "extra" copies of my photos. I just want ONE copy of each photo, and I want these photos to be stored on my external drive ONLY.
    How do I set it up to do this? Or can I not do this? Have I got the wrong idea of what iPhoto can and can't do?
    Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

    Brett:
    If you look in the Originals folder and its subfolders you should see all alias files (very small in size) pointing to the source files on the external HD. In the Modified folder will be full sized files of any image file that was taken in the portrait orientation with a camera that has the auto-rotate capability. You can't get around it unless you rotate them before importing with a 3rd party application. Then in the Data folder are the thumbnail files. Those thumbnail files are for viewing up to a fairly good size before the original file kicks in when you use the slider bar in the thumbnail window. If you take your HD off line and then move that slider upward you can see how big you can get the thumbnail before it balks and gives you the "missing file" window of gray with a dotted rectangle.
    Having the edited version lets you revert back to the original for other editing that might require a different crop (for printing a different sized photo for instance.) If you want just one copy of each photo you'll need to go to an application like iView MediaPro.
    It may seem like a lot but when you think of what that library represents in full sized files on the external HD, you're really well off. My alias library of 27,000 files (29G in size) is only 1.6G on my boot drive. Even the professional applications like Aperture creates a second file when you edit and the thumbnail is either a separate file or embedded in the Aperature system for quick viewing without having to render the entire file.

  • How to store files in shared-folder in background mode

    Hello All,
    My requirement seems to be simple but I have tried many ways in achieving this, but failed. So require the help in accomplishing this task.
    Requirement
    I have to create a program in SE38 which will create a internal table with data in it in .XML format(which I can achieve).
    My requirement is this .XML file needs to be placed in a shared-folder in "BACKGROUND MODE".
    I have tried using GUI_DOWNLOAD function module, but this FM only runs in Foreground mode and fails in Background mode. I have tried convincing my client that I will keep the file in Application Server as it is achievable using OPEN DATASET statements, but they are not willing to accept this.
    So can you please help me in achieving this task as I am not getting any solution how to keep the file in Shared-folder in BACKGROUND mode itself(not Foreground).

  • How to create file in specific folder...

    Hi developers,
    I am new to java. I would like to create file in some folder. But i am fail to create it. Can any body help me please..
    This is my code. It creates folder well...But file doesn't create.
    import java.io.*;
    public class file1
         public static void main(String ar[])
              File f = new File("c:\\ram");
              f.mkdirs();
              String pat = f.getAbsolutePath();
              File ffs = new File("c:\\ram.txt");
              System.out.println(pat);
    }With Regards
    sure...:)-

    Also, it's not clear where you want the file.
    You're making a directory C :\ram, but then you're talking about a file ram.txt that's right in C:
    Also, you can use / instead of doubling up the \ and it wil get converted properly.
    If I wanted to create a file C:\ram\ram.txt I'd do this:
    File parentDir = new File("C:/ram");
    File file = new File(parentDir, "ram.txt");
    parentDir.mkdirs();
    file.createNewFile();

  • How to view images from Pictures Folder using iPhoto?

    Right now when I click an image in the Pictures folder, the image is automatically opened using Preview. I want to view images directly from my Pictures folder, and have them open to iPhoto. Is that possible?
    I just want to be able to view/sort my photos by Folders rather than by Events, Titles or Photo dates. I can't seem to get them to sort by folders in iPhoto.

    Iphoto is a Photo Database designed to allow you to organise and manipulate you photos without recourse to your files.
    It's not an image viewer, it can only work with photos that have been imported to the database.
    I just want to be able to view/sort my photos by Folders rather than by Events,
    An Event is a folder of images with a fancy icon. You can organize your pics in iPhoto anyway you want, using Albums, folders, keywords and so on. It's far more flexible that using folders in the Finder.
    You can opt to organise the files yourself, rather than have iPhoto do it for you, but I don't recommend it.
    Simply go to iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> Advanced and uncheck 'Copy Files to the iPhoto Library on Import'.
    Now iPhoto will not copy the files, but rather simply reference them on your HD. To do this it will create an alias in the Originals Folder that points to your file. It will still create a thumbnail and, if you modify the pics, a Modified version within the iPhoto Library Folder.
    However, you need to be aware of a number of potential pitfalls using this system.
    1. Import and deleting pics are more complex procedures
    2. You cannot move or rename the files on your system or iPhoto will lose track of them on systems prior to 10.5 and iPhoto 08. Even with the later versions issues can still arise if you move the referenced files to new volumes or between volumes.
    3. Most importantly, migrating to a new disk or computer can be much more complex.
    Always allowing for personal preference, I've yet to see a good reason to run iPhoto in referenced mode unless you're using two photo organisers.
    If disk space is an issue, you can run an entire iPhoto Library from an external disk:
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
    If you're concerned about accessing the files, There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
    *For Users of 10.5 and later*
    You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    *For users of 10.4 and later* ...
    Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
    To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
    This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
    If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    *If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
    For users of 10.6 and later:
    You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu. Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    For Users of 10.4 and later:
    Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
    You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

    Thank to all

    iTunes doesn't take any notice of your folder structure or provide any automatic way to use any information that might be coded in the path. Can you describe the current layout in a bit more detail and explain what you hope to achieve. It may be possible to use tools in other program's such as MediaMonkey or custom scripts to get the data from the file paths into something that iTunes can work with. The most important thing at this stage is not to import media to iTunes without first making sure under Edit > Preferences > Advanced that Keep iTunes Media folder organized and Copy to iTunes Media folder when adding to library are turned off otherwise iTunes may destroy your existing structure.

    Hello,
    Do you know what the difference between copying a file this way :
    ** Fast & simple file copy. */
    public static void copy(File source, File dest) throws IOException {
    FileChannel in = null, out = null;
    try {         
    in = new FileInputStream(source).getChannel();
    out = new FileOutputStream(dest).getChannel();
    long size = in.size();
    MappedByteBuffer buf = in.map(FileChannel.MapMode.READ_ONLY, 0, size);
    out.write(buf);
    } finally {
    if (in != null) in.close();
    if (out != null) out.close();
    ================SECOND WAY============
    AND THIS WAY:
    // Move file (src) to File/directory dest.
    public static synchronized void move(File src, File dest) throws FileNotFoundException, IOException {
    copy(src, dest);
    src.delete();
    // Copy file (src) to File/directory dest.
    public static synchronized void copy(File src, File dest) throws IOException {
    InputStream in = new FileInputStream(src);
    OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(dest);
    // Transfer bytes from in to out
    byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
    int len;
    while ((len = in.read(buf)) > 0) {
    out.write(buf, 0, len);
    in.close();
    out.close();
    And which is better? I read up on what each kind of does but still a bit unclear as to when it is good to use which.
