How to stop unwanted photos from being imported to Lightroom Mobile Android

Hi, I am a subscriber to the Adobe Photo package (LR and PS).
I have started using LR mobile recently on my Android phone. I found that if I turn on Auto Import for a collection, it import more than just pictures taken by the camera. Any pictures that is added by, eg., WhatsApp, it will also be imported. Is this the intended way it works? How can I control what folders LR mobile will "watch" for imports? !

Thanks, Jim. Android operates a bit different from IOS. It has a camera folder, which contains all pictures taken by the Android camera app. If there are other apps that can take pictures, they will most likely appear in their respective app folders (depending on how the app behaves). And then there are other apps that does not take picture but will receive pictures, eg., the whatspp app. when someone send you pictures. The Whatsapp folder exists outside of the Camera folder (or picture roll, if you want to call it).
To me, the best way to handle this, is for the user to have control over which folder to sync, which not to. Eg., the Google+ Photo app, which sync pictures from the phone to Google+ (sort of like iCloud) lets you select which folder to sync. It will, very cleverly prompt you whenever it detects a new folder that contains photos (eg., after installing a 3rd party camera app or apps like Instagram that have its own folders to save photos related to them) and you can decide whether you want these new folders to be sync or not.
I hope to find out how LR mobile interact with Android because, apparently, it is not scanning the complete phone for pictures because, I found that there are temp folders that are used by email programs etc., that contains small gif/png/jpg files that do not appear in LR mobile. I wonder how LR mobile makes the decision.
Anyone having similar issues?

  • How to stop the Dialog from being dragged

    I was hoping that someone could tell me when calling a Dialog from Jframe, a how to stop the Dialog from being dragged
    while a dialog is showing.
    When it is visible I can still click and drag the Dialog
    I want to set it so you can not drag it until the dialog has be closed.

    If you don't have access to the parent frame, a "hack" that usually works:
    Frame frame = Frame.getFrames()[0];
    if (null != frame && frame instanceof JFrame){
    JFrame jf = (JFrame)frame;
    JDialog jd = new JDialog(jf, "title");
    ... code here ...
    As each JFrame (or Frame) is opened, its stored in the array of Frames that you can get. Same thing with Dialog.getDialogs(). Almost always, at least so far for me I've never had this problem, the [0] index is the main window opened, or the parent/top frame. I'd put the check in there to be safe and make sure its a JFrame and usually you'll only have the one JFrame.

    How to stop volume icon from being displayed randomly

    Thanks for the quick response.
    I have a number of slides which act as a training module. The quiz follows this. All the answers to the quiz are in the module slides. I'd like the user to be able to see which questions they're failing on, but not be shown the answers, as, if they are failing the quiz, the whole module needs to be reviewed and the test retaken.
    If this isn't possible, I'll probably just remove the review option, thereby meaning my retake button can stay, and the user can just go back and re-read the module slides to learn the answers.
    Thanks

  • How to stop an email from being sent after I hit send?

    How can I immediately stop an email from being sent after clicking "send"?
    I can't seem to find any info on this. I am assuming that it is impossible. Correct?

    When sending the emails with larger attachments that take a little time to actually upload and get out, you can open the activity viewer by pressing command-0 (or is it command-o?--)--it may also be under the window menu at the top--I'm not at my Mac right now to check. The activity viewer has a stop button on it. After you stop it, you should be able to either delete the email from the outgoing mail folder or drag that email to another folder, such as the drafts folder. I've done this a few times without a problem.

  • How to stop an idoc from being processed further

    Hi Experts,
    I have a requirement where i have to stop the idoc from being processed in an user exit.
    I have to stop the idoc and give a suitable status message over there.
    It would be highly helpful if anybody tells me how to stop the idoc abruptly and giv the status messsage.
    Thanks in advance.
    Praveen.

    Hi,
    Check the below link
    https://forums.sdn.sap.com/click.jspa?searchID=11810720&messageID=3032674
    You need to find aproper EXIT.
    The avaliable options for you in the exit is
    IDOC_DATA
    Now if i pick the segment having shiped qty from the data record and check the same with the delivery qty your objective is half done.
    When the condition fails you need to update the IDOC with Error 51 saying that this is not possible .
    for that you need to bring your logic as
    LOOP AT IDOC_CONTROL.
    PERFORM LOGIC...
    ENDLOOP.
    FOR LOGIC .
    All the criteria and then update the status of the IDOC then error is generated and updated to the IDOc.
    PERFORM updatestatusidoc.
    endform logic.
    like this in
    form updatestatusidoc.
    IF subrc = 0 .
    t_idoc_status-docnum = f_idoc_contrl-docnum.
    t_idoc_status-status = c_idoc_status_ok.
    t_idoc_status-msgty = 'S'. -
    >denotes success
    t_idoc_status-msgid = 'ZXXX'.
    t_idoc_status-msgno = '000'. "
    t_idoc_status-msgv1 = itab-field.
    APPEND t_idoc_status.
    ELSEIF subrc = 1.
    t_idoc_status-docnum = f_idoc_contrl-docnum.
    t_idoc_status-status = c_idoc_status_error.
    t_idoc_status-msgty = 'E'. "denotes --->error
    t_idoc_status-msgid = 'ZXXX'.
    t_idoc_status-msgno = '001'. "
    t_idoc_status-msgv1 = itab-field.
    APPEND t_idoc_status.
    endif.
    endform.
    this has to be done to make the idoc to trigger error mode.

  • How do I stop duplicates of saved photos from being imported into iPhoto?

    When I sych to iPhoto, I get duplicates of art work that I have in "Saved Photos".  iPhoto doesn't screen out art work that I have created and added before making a lot of work to delete all the duplicates.

    Photos you take on your iPhone are normally displayed in the Last 12 Months section of iPhoto. If you are using iPhoto to archive photos copy the photos from there to other albums in iPhoto instead of syncing them.

  • How to stop control characters from being tokenized?

    In Oracle 11.2.0.3
    I have documents which has embeded Arabic and so there is a control character \u202b to indicate right-to-left string. How do I stop these kinds of control characters from being tokenized. Doing a search with CONTAINS(search_string,' \u202b')>0 finds documents. Do I just add the '\u202b' as a stopword?

    What lexer are you using, Amin?
    I assume from what you say that the characters are getting indexed as whole tokens?  If so, adding them as stopwords should work, but I'm surprised they're getting indexed at all - sounds like a fault in the "alphanumeric indentification" code to me.
    I'm going to take a guess this is the World Lexer.  Am I right?

  • How to stop table row from being split onto two pages

    How do I stop a row of output from being split between two
    pages. When the CFDocument loads, sometimes, the last row on a page
    "spills" over onto the next. I'd like to figure out who to prevent
    these "orphans" from happening, and force the row onto one page or
    the other.
    Here's my code for the doc... I have a sp that querys the sql
    db. Using CFDocument - CF Version 7.02

    If you know roughly how many lines of output will fit on a
    page (you can test to find out), then you can count result lines
    (you should be able to use RecordCount and do some math) and cfif
    against your counter and force a page break beforehand if the next
    table will be too much to fit on the page. Then just reset the
    counter after you page break.

  • How to stop email addresses from being added to contacts

    hofw do you stop email addresses from sent emails from being added automatically to contacts?

    No. They are not being created by the phone. They are being created by your mail system, whether that is Exchange, Yahoo, Google, etc. They all have settings to automatically create contacts from people you correspond with. There is no setting on the phone to control this. Check the settings for your mail account with or talk to your IT department.

  • How to stop receiving photos from my old iPhone on to my new iPhone

    Hello,
    I had an old iPhone 4S that I sold to my uncle more than a year ago. Only shortly after iOS7 roll-out I started seeing photos in my device that are his. These photos are being stored in my "Photos" folder looks like as if I took them.
    There is a possibility (I don't remember) that prior to selling him the phone, I erased it completely, put in my apple ID to download some apps for him before I made him his own apple ID. I'm not sure if iCloud still has my apple ID on his phone or not.
    Regardless, I went to iTunes and "removed" the associated devices with my apple ID but only kept the very recent iPhone I have bought.
    Any help on this would be appreciated.

    He has Photo Stream enabled with your iCloud account settings on his iPhone.
    In order for him to download an app update that was downloaded with your Apple ID, he will need to know the password for your Apple ID.
    You should have erased the iPhone and left it at that.

  • How can i stop attached photos from being in the email body?

    I try to send pics often to places for printing and icloud puts them into the body of the email instead of as an attachment. THis can be quite annoying. Advice pleas,   Thank Carol

    When sending from your Mac, when composing the email click on Attach.  In the choose file dialoge, try checking the box that says "Send Windows Friendly Attachments".  From you iOS device, this happens automatically.
    The message may still look as if the photo is embedded rather than attached, but on a Windows computer it will appear as an attachment.  (On a Mac it will appear to be embedded but the attachment can be saved by control-clicking on the image.)

  • How to stop copied files from being automatically trashed

    so this has only been happening recently, in the last 2-3 weeks.
    if i choose a file, say "example.txt" and duplicate it, adding "example copy.txt" to the desktop, within a couple seconds, it gets automatically placed in the trash.
    if i rename the copy to "example.2.txt" and move it back to the desktop, it'll stay. so it's not an issue of identical files being trashed. if i take it and name it back to "example copy.txt" it gets placed in the trash again automatically.
    how do i stop this? it's driving me mental because i have to go retrieve everything i copy from the trash bin. i'm sure i haven't downloaded any automators or anything, so any kind of input would be beneficial.
    thanks!

    whats the type n contents of this files.it is text only pipe seperated.
    have u specified the bad or log file path while creating the external file.no I do not. I use simple UTL_FILE for writing to these files but it does generate .log all the time and sometimes .bad whenever there is some problem.

  • How to stop an iPhone from being hacked

    Can an iPhone be hacked through your iCloud account or email account (meaning your Apple ID). I have found disturbing things on the internet to monitor phones such as auto-forward.com. For about $70 you can monitor everything on a smart phone. Of course they're disclaimer is that being a parent, you want to make sure what your kids are up to and it says "not to be used for illegal purposes". But I am an adult and someone is monitoring me. My Apple ID password only works when this person wants it to work. My email and texts disappear.
    HOW DO I STOP THIS??  I have already traded my phone in changed apple IDs, the techs at the apple store found strange software diagnostics.
    Law enforcement is not very tech savvy. Can data forensics trace the person doing this? About $2000, but worth it to catch the stalker.

    Your Apple ID can be compromised. That would allow a miscreant to buy things using your account, access your iCloud information and potentially wipe the phone remotely. If your concerned about that, make sure that you use a complex password and 2 step verification. Make sure your recovery email account is also secure.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570
    You should also put a password on your phone to prevent people from gaining physical access to it.
    Don't believe everything you read on the internet. In order to use such software on an iPhone, someone would need to have access to your phone in order to jailbreak it. If you restore the phone as new and follow the advice above, no one will be monitoring your phone (except possibly the government and they are not going to be deleting your texts and emails).
    Best of luck.

  • How to stop music folder from being created when changing media folder

    When I try to change the media folder location, a new "music" folder is created - how do I stop this from happening (I already have a music folder that I want it to default to, but when I try to select it, it creates another music sub folder)
    This is a new issue - I have been using itunes for years without ever having this problem...

    That's how itunes 9 works, now. The top-level folder is considered the "Media" folder and there are music, podcast, movie, audiobook, etc subfolders.
    Which is better in a way, since before itunes 9, everything was dumped in a music folder, even audiobooks that weren't music.
