How to "loupe" thru images?

I've used LR for a while now, and my basic workflow has always been:
1. Import images from my SD card into LR
2. Review the imported images in LR using the Loupe view and the right (and left) arrow keys
For some reason this does not work anymore. Here is what I am experiencing:
1. Show images in the Grid view with no thumbnails selected.
2. View one image in the Loupe view. Does not seem to matter whether I double-click a thumbnail or single click then press the E key.
3. The right arrow key show either the next thumbnail, or the 1st thumbnail on the grid (see to be random which thumbnail is chosen)
4. Subsequent left or right arrow keys toggle the view between the two image noted above.
5. Switch back to the grid view shows the two image noted above selected.
I've combed the preference settings an I do not see anything for "auto select" or "auto next". I know the LR has not always behaved this way, so I assume I've done somthing to put it into this "mode". THe other possibility is that I now have 20K+ images in my catalog. Is this too many?
I've found a work-around to this "situation" by selecting all of the thumbnails in the grid that I want to see before I enter the Loupe view, but I know I have done this in the past. Could it be that a LR update changed the way the LR works?
Thanks in advance for any light you might shine on my light room :-)

Thanks for your post gatorjim. I'm running LR 3.3 on Windows 7. I have no keyboard macros defined, and the keys do the normal thing on the grid view and in other programs.
OMG - I just fixed it. I was probing on how to reset my preferences, and I happened to look at the menu option Window / Secondary Display. I have a 2nd display that I rarely turn on, but my LR setting was Window / Secondary Display / Show and Compare (probably because I had inadvertently hit the key combination to activate it, although I was not aware of that because I rarely turn on the second display). When that's set, LR behaves as documented in my original post. Once I set Secondary Display to "Loupe- Normal", now the primary display behaves as expected: I can sequence thru images in the Loupe view using the arrow keys, and I experience no "auto selection".
I'm sure all this makes sense if you use a secondard display to compare images, but it sure threw me for a loupe (groan... I could not resist).

How to Hyperlink an image on the hard drive

We are converting to iMac from Windows and keep our photography business data in excel spreadsheets. Each image name links to an image on the PC hard drive. On the iMac in Numbers, I can link text in a cell to a webpage or an email but if I use the path to the location on the hard drive, it doesn't work. What I would like is to pop the image in Safari when I click the hyperlink in the Numbers cell. Example:
The iMac name is butterfly, the user is reniepoole and the path to the image is Documents/image.jpg. If I put file://butterfly/users/reniepoole/Documents/image.jpg into the address bar in Safari, it will render the image OK. If I use the same address as the URL when I try to insert the image as a hyperlink in a Numbers cell, it doesn't work. Does anyone know how to render the image in Safari from a link in Numbers?

Here is a script doing the trick.
--[SCRIPT openFileFromNumbers]
Enregistrer le script en tant que Script : openFileFromNumbers.scpt
déplacer le fichier ainsi créé dans le dossier
<VolumeDeDémarrage>:Users:<votreCompte>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Numbers:
Sélectionner une cellule contenant un chemin d'accès à un fichier.
menu Scripts > Numbers > openFileFromNumbers
Le script ouvrira le fichier.
--=====
L'aide du Finder explique:
L'Utilitaire AppleScript permet d'activer le Menu des scripts :
Ouvrez l'Utilitaire AppleScript situé dans le dossier Applications/AppleScript.
(* à vérifier avec Snow Leopard *)
Cochez la case "Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre de menus".
--=====
Save the script as Script : openFileFromNumbers.scpt
Move the newly created file into the folder:
<startup Volume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Numbers:
Select a cell containing a link to a file.
menu Scripts > Numbers > openFileFromNumbers
The script will open the file.
--=====
The Finder's Help explains:
To make the Script menu appear:
Open the AppleScript utility located in Applications/AppleScript.
Select the "Show Script Menu in menu bar" checkbox.

HT2493 How to change preview image of a file and NOT the icon ?

Hello dear Mac users
How to change preview image of a file and NOT the icon ?
I know how to change the icon of a file, but I wish to know how to change the preview of any file.
For example: my file is "mysong.aif", I changed the icon to be "mylogo.png" using cmd+i, cmd+v on the icon. But the preview of the file still remain the same.
I know it can be changed using iTunes, but I don't want to import all my files in iTune, and iTune cannot import all type of files.
I hope someone will understand my needs...
Thanks!

Thanks BeerbarX
You can't change the preview image for anything

MP3 which has a special tagging standard that can include artwork
How can I "tag" my MP3 without going thru iTunes ? Is it possible to do it dirrectly in the Finder ? Is there other type of files that can include such tags ?
Thank you for answering my question , wich I have to admit may seem useless, but I wish I could put something like a signature logo on each of the different file I produce (as AIF for music and MP4 for video clip) instead of that generic black box with a note on it, and by the meantime keeping a different icon for all of them in order to illustrate theire content.

How to produce an image Contact Sheet by way of AppleScript

I have found that the PDF contact sheet action in Automator doesn’t allow for labeling the images (with file name and/or creation date etc).
So, I thought I may try may hand at doing this by way of AppleScript.
Does anyone know whether AppleScript (or any application supplied with Mac OS X) is capable of doing this?
I can see how to get the images and scale them down, as well as find their names and/or creation dates, but I’m not really sure how to print them to a multi page pdf.

How can I assign image file name from Main() class

I am trying to create library class which will be accessed and used by different applications (with different image files to be assigned). So, what image file to call should be determined by and in the Main class.
Here is the Main class
import org.me.lib.MyJNIWindowClass;
public class Main {
public Main() {
public static void main(String[] args) {
MyJNIWindowClass mw = new MyJNIWindowClass();
mw.s = "clock.gif";
And here is the library class
package org.me.lib;
public class MyJNIWindowClass {
public String s;
ImageIcon image = new ImageIcon("C:/Documents and Settings/Administrator/Desktop/" + s);
public MyJNIWindowClass() {
JLabel jl = new JLabel(image);
JFrame jf = new JFrame();
jf.add(jl);
jf.setVisible(true);
jf.pack();
I do understand that when I am making reference from main() method to MyJNIWindowClass() s first initialized to null and that is why clock could not be seen but how can I assign image file name from Main() class for library class without creating reference to Main() from MyJNIWindowClass()? As I said, I want this library class being accessed from different applications (means different Main() classes).
Thank you.

Your problem is one of timing. Consider this simple example.
public class Example {
    public String s;
    private String message = "Hello, " + s;
    public String toString() {
        return message;
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Example ex = new Example();
        ex.s = "world";
        System.out.println(ex.toString());
}When this code is executed, the following happens in order:
1. new Example() is executed, causing an object to constructed. In particular:
2. field s is given value null (since no value is explicitly assigned.
3. field message is given value "Hello, null"
4. Back in method main, field s is now given value "world", but that
doesn't change message.
5. Finally, "Hello, null" is output.
The following fixes the above example:
public class Example {
    private String message;
    public Example(String name) {
        message = "Hello, " + name;
    public String toString() {
        return message;
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Example ex = new Example("world");

How can I display images that are not included in any collection?

How can I display images that are not included in any collection (some filter or smart collection)? A smart collection with parameters "Collection - contains - empty field" does not work. Lightroom 5.

Thank you! Good idea! I ordered letters of the alphabet (space separated), and it works.

How do I delete images in Finder's "all my Files" when I have the same pictures in a file in Documents? It seems like a lot of duplication. If I delete the individual image it disappears in the folder. Thank You.

How do I delete images in Finder's "all my files" without deleting the images in a separate folder I have in Documents? It seems to be so much duplication. Just set up our new Mac and am not understanding how the files work. Thank you.

All My files is a "search folder"
it isn't real storage location. All files within your home folder are found by the criteria set for the search folder and displayed to you In one place.
If the folder doesn't meet your needs, remove it from the sidebar.

how to have multiple images on the same screen? like in the movies where you see several actions at the same time ....
i don't find a tutorial in adobe tv....
thanks !!

The short answer is that you'll put the source clip(s) for each inset on a different video track, all stacked up. Then use the Scale and Position effects (under "Motion" on the Effect Controls panel) to reduce their size and place them where you want.
If the content of an inset will involve edited content (where you're cutting among various clips or just trimming out unwanted content from a single clip), then you'll probably find it easier to do all those edits in one sequence, then nest that sequence in the master sequence, where you apply the Scale and Positioning effects. That will save the step of applying the scale and position effects to each edited track item.
