Importing from multiple Card readers at the same time...

In Photo Mecahnics I can import multiple cards at one time. Is this possible with LR? If yes, then I will switch 100% to LR.
Thanks,
Marc

Your System my get bogged down?? but you probably can start multiple downloads consecutively. I know you can do consecutive Exports with different presests. Haven't actually heard of anyone doing what you ask.
I asume you are talking either more than one camera or multiple readers.
I also don't know how this would effect metadata, if at all.
Give it a try on a Test Catologue and report back hear. I am sure others might like to know if you are successful.

How Can I Delete Originals I Don't Care to Keep When Importing From SD Card?

Hi All,
Just installed LR3 thanks to Santa. Have been going thru the video tutorials as well as the Lightroom_3_Help PDF and Lightroom-GettingStarted_Lo PDF but I can't figure out how to simply delete files from the gitgo when importing from SD Card or from my HDD (files already moved to HDD but not yet culled or imported into LR3). I was hoping I could, in LIBRARY, just r/c on a file that is plainly not worth keeping and just delete it so I dont have to do it later. Seems like I could, this way, be able to concentrate more on the shots requiring editing.
Also, need suggestions as to how I should import my files using DNG, Copy, Move, or Add. First off, I am not a working pro but am an occasional serious amateur. I'm picky and I like things to look good the first time and I like options. The pix already on my HDD are in the PICTURES folder; those imported from SD card get moved to that PICTURES folder. I have, in the past, moved the processed verssions to a different DESTINATION folder - now I still have the originals and I have processed copies to post and share.
I understand that LR3 does ND editing but I assume that if I only keep a DNG then any time I want a JPEG or PNG of a picture I have to open LR3 to make one. Since I only have been shooting a few hundred pix a year (though with my new D5000 this will change) I am not gonna load up my HDD any time soon. So, is there a way I can make a DNG file, keep the original RAW or JPEG file AND save a processed JPEG or PNG copy in my DESTINATION folder in one swell foop?
Thanks in advance,
Phil in San Diego

The LR Exchange site has three plug-ins that allow you to keep a "mirror" copy of your DNG/RAW images in JPG format for use by others without having to go into LR and generate them when needed. The link is:

One of them should help you with this.

"CLOSED":How to plan inventory from multiple orgs simultaneously using MRP?

Hello everybody,
How to plan inventory from multiple organizations simultaneously using SCP?
My customer found that in supply chain planning (MRP) system always plans in single manufacturing organization, say, ATC, firstly. If set in organization item master, the source type as 'Inventory' and the source organization as another trading organization name, say, ANX. if there is insufficient inventory in ATC, SCP-MRP would plan in ANX, disregard of the inventory exist in ANX for the item.
But for some items, there are both inventory in ATC and ANX and we want plan BOTH their inventory simultaneously instad of firstly ATC and then ANX.
Is there any standard function in Oracle that can do so? I found that the sourcing rule cannot help in this case.
A simple test case is described in
https://gtcr.oracle.com/gtcr-dir/gtcr_4607/5580425.992/Alternative_to_plan_multi-org_MRP.doc
Thanks

Catalina,
Net the inventory simultaneously? Its not quite clear what your client wants.
Even in the old SCP, you can use sourcing rules to first net inventory in org1 and then net the inventory in org 2 via a transfer from rule. The key point is it is always incremental based on where you place teh demand and then you provide source to fill that demand.
One restriction that ASCP still has up to 11.5.10 is that you can only have sourcing rules going in one direction. This means that you can't have a rule that sources ORG1 from ORG2 for item A, then have the revers in ORG2 sourcing from ORG1. That won't work, ASCP will randomly ignore one of the rules.
The best choice may be to use GOP with a sourcing split % so that yo do consider the inventory in both orgs when demanding the order, but it would still be done by checking ORG1 then ORG2.
Hope this helps.

Ingesting Multiple Cards Simultaneously In Prelude

I've got a 4-card CF card reader to help with downloading footage in the field from a C300 and a 1DC. Is it possible to ingest multiple cards simultaneously within Prelude? And, if not, is there any downside to just copying the files over in Finder just to speed things up a bit. Mostly concerned about what happens if I'm in BFE, doing my own DIT and I spent the day shooting at 4K.
Thanks!

Thanks for the post.
Yes, Prelude will support multiple ingests simultaneously. You do need to invoke the Ingest Dialog for each operation though (for each card transfer you need to kick off - we don't yet have a shortcut for this workflow built in but are looking into it).
Let me know if that doesn't meet your needs.
Thanks!

How to Import from an external HD to LightRoom.

I am brand new to Creative Cloud and to LightRoom. I have read and listened to importing from a memory card but am unsure as to how to import from the backup drive from my older Mac Pro to my new iMac. The external drive is already the backup for the new iMac, is plugged in and working. I can see the HDD in the LR panel and can find the "pictures" folder within the dropdown. I am not sure if the "pictures folder (on the lefthand panel) is the old b/u or the iMac HDD. I can get to where I need to be if I can figure out what I'm looking at and what I should look for as to the 2 HDD's, b/u and/or iMac. I am aware of the righthand panel but the interactions are totally unfamiliar to me. Thanks for any help and advice. TCrowe

If you are importing from a hard drive then you don't need to worry about the right-hand panel in the import dialog. You would locate the folder that you want to import in the left-hand panel. At the top of the import screen you would choose the "Add" option. This will add those images to your catalog without having to move them anywhere. If you want to place copies on a different hard drive then you would choose the Copy option at the top of the import screen. Then the right-hand panel will enable you to specify where you want the copies to be placed.

Import from SD card hanging

New laptop (toshiba qosimo w/20gb ram, ssd and hd), new os (windows 8), new version of lightroom (5.2) new bloatware (toshiba), new problems.
I can usually get one import from sd cards to work per boot in lightroom. when lightroom ejects and a new card is put in (I run several cameras per shoot) it shows the pix thumbnails, correctly identifies the new images and then just hangs on import. the import bar jumps to about 2/3 and stops, even running over night does nothing. At this point trying to use the windows explorer browser to access the sd card also hangs explorer. I can click the close "x" on the import status bar and it does eventually close though I must physically eject the card before the "Import Results" error dialog pops up. I can then re-mount the sd card and manually copy the files into thir dated folders, making new ones as needed, and sync the parent folder in lightroom and continue working but that is very tedious.
I've made sure all bloatware is not indexing, importing, or any other bad behavior. I have tried killing of all apps and background bloatware item by item with no success. Rebooting allows me one additional import but hangs on the second sd card.
While it criples lightroom I doubt it's lightroom's fault. Anyone have any ideas on how to troubleshoot? If it matters I'm using the built-in SDHC card reader which is a realtek pcie unit running the "RiconMan.exe" process. I've even tried killing that and letting it restart with no joy.
Thanks in advance,
Mark
UPDATE:
My third paragraph made me think it could be connected to the built-in reader so I searched around and eventually "borrowed" my wife's USB reader. I was able to do 2 imports on it after the 2nd import on the built in reader had failed. Looks like it's a conflict between realtek's reader and lightroom. I can copy files from several sd cards in explorer so this problem only seems to afflict lightroom.

File Renaming from Multiple Cards

I’m attempting to use prelude to transfer and rename files from multiple cards to the same folder using the custom text and auto increment options. When I try transfer the media from card 2 to the same folder as card 1 using the same renaming protocol the auto increment starts back at 001 instead of picking up where the numbering left off from the last card. Therefore creating duplicate file names. Does the media from all my cards have to be transferred from the same location and ingested at the same time before I can make this work? All the tutorials have all the media coming from only one card in a “DSLR” workflow. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Hi -
Thank you for your post. In the current version of Prelude it does not provide the "next in sequence" number as an option. We are implementing that feature now for an upcoming release. The new feature should provide you with the following capabilities:
1. Prelude will provide a new option in the RENAME settings area: "USER DEFINED AUTO INCREMENT". An EDIT field will be available when you select this option and Prelude will automatically populate it with the "NEXT" sequential value based on the last ingest operation performed.
2. You can also override the auto-populated value if you choose and set any starting value you wish.
Hope this will meet your workflow needs. If you'd like to see something else please let us know.
Regards,
Michael

In the Bookmarks Manager (Library) there is a toolbar with the Back and Forward button and three other buttons (Organize, Views, Import & Backup).
* The first (gear) button is the Organize button with basic edit menu items for bookmarks
* The second button is the Views button that allows to change the sort order for viewing purposes (doesn't sort permanently).
* The third (star) button is the Import & Backup button that allows to backup and restore a JSON backup and import and export an HTML backup and import bookmarks from other browsers.
Hover each button to see the tooltip or click each of them to see what they do.

After "upgrade" to new firefox, bookmarks didn't transfer. Help tells how to import from another browser but not old firefox. Also my anti virus (latest update) apparently not compatible with 4.0 Can I restore my old version

Question
After "upgrading" to new firefox none of my bookmarks are in new bookmarks help topics tell me how to import from another browser but not from previous version of firefox. Another problem is my anti virus ( most up to date) is apparently not compatible with 4.0 liked the old firefox would never have "upgraded" had I known my anti virus wouldn't work. Can I get old version back

Check with Kaspersky as to what versions of Firefox their programs are compatible with. It is up to Kaspersky to keep their stuff up to date as Mozilla releases new versions of Firefox. And if they are unwilling or incapable of doing it, they should inform their customers of such and maybe refund their customers instead of stringing them along.

Confusion re: photostream, import from memory card, events, etc.

confusion re: photostream, import from memory card, events, etc.
Up until a few weeks ago, my travel-photo-handling went like this:
Each night, I download photos to my iPad for safekeeping. They, of course, wind up in Photostream.
When I return home, I connect my camera card to my iMac (where I have my iPhoto library), and I can "see" the photos on my memory card - the photos which, although in Photostream, I have not yet manually downloaded.
I select and ownload them.
New Events are created in my Library automatically, as I have my preference set to Autosplit Events.
This week, I came home from a trip during which I had downloaded to iPad during my time away.
I connected my memory card to the iMac.
iPhoto did not "see" any photos to import - as far as iPhoto was concerned, those photos were already in my Library.
I had iPhoto show all photos on my card, selected the photos from my trip (I shot over 1000) and clicked "Import Selected"
iPhoto says they're duplicates.
However, the photos have NOT been downloaded manually and there are NO Events in my Library for those days.
Note: yeah, they're in Photostream, but IN THE PAST - and I mean literally up until 3 weeks ago - the photos have ALWAYS been "visible" and importable even if in Photostream, as long as I had not yet manually downloaded to the computer.
So my question, I guess, is multi-part:
What changed in iPhoto and/or Photostream in the past couple of weeks?
Why are Photostream photos suddenly considered to be the same as the photos on my card which have not yet been manually downloaded to the computer?
What the heck is going on?
I hate having duplicates, but I also hate being confused by something that used to be really easy, then - with Photosream - became annoying, and is now simply perplexing and sometimes imcomprehendable.

Check iPhoto's Photo Stream preference pane to see if the highlighted checkbox in the screenshot below is checked. If it is then all photos taken by the iPad are automatifdally being imported into your library.
Go the the Events mode and check the View ➙ Sort menu option to verify where new Evens will be located, at the top of the window or the bottom. Then check to see if your PS pictures are there.
As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Connect your iPad and import all photos. Dismount the iPad, close and reopen the test library, connect the iPad again and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?
If it does'nt then your current library is damaged and needs to be repaired.

How can I record multiple tracks simultaneously?

How can I record multiple tracks simultaneously? Or rather what hardware do I need to do this? I currently run guitars and mic into a PA and then the PA into Garageband. But this is just one track. I want to record the guitar as one track while simultaneously recording vocals as another track. What hardware do you suggest - keeping it affordable?

if you want to use your two chanel PA, pan 1 channel to the left, and the other to the right, and set one GB track to Mono 1 and the other to mono 2.
if you want better quality, any two channel interface will work:

How to import from desktop (file) avchd in FCE4.0.1

I copied from a camera onto my macbook avchd footage for later use in FCE4.
I used the importcommand log and transfer.
I have three maps; DCIM (empty), MISC (AUTPRINT.MRK) and PRIVATE with a lot of files.
I tried all the maps (or files in it) to drag into L&transfer but that does not work.
I am sure I am doing something wrong. How to import avchd footage in FCE?
Thanks!
Bruce.

Read the section in the manual on log and transfer. Once again you can NOT drag and drop to the log and transfer window.
If the application is crashing you have more serious problems.
Do NOT go inside the folder structure of the SD card. Select the top level of the folder structure. If that crashes the application, you should take your computer to an Apple service technician.
I'm assuming the the operating system was correctly installed, and the application was correctly installed from the disc in the Applications folder.
