Identify, locate, and handle dupes when importing

As a DAM application, I think LR falls short. I thought there was no way they could leave out something so basic as clearly identifying duplicates when importing/building a library etc.
I'd like to know, even if it takes longer to create/load the images, if dupes exist (suspected/actual). I'd like to know where they're located, and ideally have an option to remove/quarantine/isolate those dupes.
Shouldn't this be a basic feature in any application designed to manage portfolios and digital assets? During the beta process, the premise was there that this would be a DAM application/front end, yet IMO it falls fall short.

Thanks for the info.
Can you tell me where the info is hidden, because it doesn't discuss it in help, it isn't included in the pamphlet Adobe calls a manual, it doesn't work on my machines (tried 2 out of 3 so far) even when I know there are dupes in two different directories, and in short, something appears to be wrong.
I'm a little disappointed (in myself and Adobe) that I can't find what should be even a description of a very basic feature.
I have no idea why it isn't working, but it won't be the first crazy thing that doesn't work right in LR. I think Adobe cut corners, a lot of corners, on this so they could ship. They cleaned up the majority, but not all, of the bugs and shipped it so they could get the revenue.
Any helpful comments on how I can control/sort/identify the dupes would be appreciated.
Thanks

How to handle error when importing taxonomy for product using XML?

We are on MDM 5.5 and built a repository for SAP R/3 Material Master. It has basic material information and taxonomy information as well. We built an import map based on an XML file, which includes basic info as well as taxonomy (classification) info. The import process runs smoothly. But if the import file includes some materials which characteristic values don't exist in MDM, the import will fail and exception file has a complete different format as our import file also it only display one material. Therefore, we cannot reprocess the exception file for errorred out items. What could we do wrong? By the way, we use "Create Pivot table" option in MDM to create the original import map.

Hi Micheal,
I Think your problem is similar to the below one,you can refer the below link for the same.
Import file using Pivot Tables
What you need to make sure is that you are using the same structure of the source file for importing as you used while creating the map else it wont work.
Your schema of the source file as well the schema used when creating the map must match.
You can refer the below links to know more about Taxonomy data importing:

Designer 6 and 7 : problem when importing curved lines

Hello,
I am actually working on a project in which we want to reuse PDFs that have been created with curved line as borders.
The problem is that when we import the PDFs in the designer (6 or 7), we get a message saying that over 300 curved object are not correctly imported...
How can we find a turnaround for this problem ???

Corrupted files. There could be lots of reasons: camera failing, card failing, card reader failing, cable from card reader or camera to storage device failing.
Try swapping out pieces of the chain one at a time: different card, different reader, cable, etc. Do you still have the card with the corrupt files? Since the problem occurred on two computers and your field storage device, I'd guess that card, card reader, camera, or cable is faulty.

Why does my footage Slow down and loose audio when imported to after effects cs6?

Whenever I import video of any kind into after effects, it slows down and looses audio. It happens for every video. The weird thing is, it seems like it doesnt happen to anyone else on the internet. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME PLEASE!!!! I am about to cry. I cant do anything with this stupid software! If there is a solution please tell me. Its really annoying.
extra info-
On Mac
mov. Files
H.264 codec

Slows down when? When you preview? Do you know how to preview?
If you are pressing the space bar to preview the video then the behavior you are seeing is normal. AE will not playback in real time with autio unless you do a ram preview (look it up). You must learn to use the software.
Start with the three videos on this page: Basic Workflow

Exposure and colour differences when importing...

I'll try to be brief.
I shoot in NEF and upon import into LR I convert them to DNG's using the LR 'Zeroed' setting. I do expect a flat looking file but what I don't expect is a colour shift and such a flat looking file. Let me explain...
if I don't convert the NEF file to DNG and instead import it as a NEF with 'Zeroed' settings again, I retain more of the original capture exposure look along with colours that are more accurate. If I then take the imported NEF files and then convert them to DNG all seems well.
I don't understand what's going on here...can anyone help?
Thank you.
Paul

@Denis - yes thank you and yes I also realised that the topic of importing re dng is an often discussed topic.
I read the Jeff Schewe post some time ago but it does not address my question which is...
same image import NEF and get one colour and exposure view then take the SAME image and import but this time as DNG and get an entirely different looking image. Invariably, the NEF import looks better than straight to DNG and it is this that I am finding odd and frustrating all at the same time.

Adobe organizer hangs and does respond when importing files for the first time?Adobe organizer hangs and does respond when importing files for the first time?

Help!! This is crazy. Organizer stops at 17% and freezes. I can't import my iPhoto or picture files. Help please!

For reference: The computer as configured just like the other systems we have...from executing the file to lockup is about 17 seconds...then about 3 minutes of lockup time before it finishes loading.
With the Antivirus/firewall completely disabled,...from executing to lockup is about 10 seconds, then lockup is about 45 seconds. (But it still happens)
With Antivirus/firewall on and Escript.api removed from the plugins folder, No delay, 2 seconds to the file load (but then without the editable fields)

Dynamic Link between Premiere Pro and Premier Pro when importing sequences?

Let me explain what we're trying to do. In our office we have one gentleman who edits together multiple program segments for a broadcast television show we do. He creates a new project and sequence for each because we upload the segments separately for the web. My job is to edit together the entire show for television. So what I do is I import his sequences to PP. The reason I do a sequence instead of a rendered video is for I can go in an make any corrections. But if I do make corrections it only makes the corrections on my project and not the original project/sequence I imported. I would like for the changes to also appear on on the original. Is there away to do this? I know this works for Adobe After Affects, Adobe Photoshop and now SpeedGrade using Dynamic Link, but is there a way to do something similar between Premiere Pro projects or sequences? Thank you

To my knowledge there is no way to use Dynamic Link between PP on two different machines. The DL is for using PP on a single machine such as importing AE comps, PSD files, etc.
I understand what you are trying to do and it sounds like Adobe Anywhere would be what you would need. Editor "1" can make a project and edit a sequence...editor "2" can access the same project and sequence, make changes,and it will update back on editor "2" machine.
To do what you want without Adobe anywhere, and still retain the original sequence you might want to try this.
After you import the project file/sequences from the other editor, make your chances, master cut(s). Then have the other editor import your updated sequences.

File location and name

If I use iPhoto to import files from my camera where are the files actually stored and how do I change the actual file name? I have figured out how to change the picture title but it does not change the file name.
If I use iPhoto to import pictures from the hard drive do they get copied to the iPhoto file location or just linked? When I moved to the mac I created a folder named "old laptop stuff" and moved everything to that folder. I am now trying to organize all of this stuff on the mac. Can I delete the picture files from the old laptop stuff folder after using iphoto to import and organize them?

Hi Dispatcher,
Where are the files stored? Take a look at the screenshot.
iPhoto 6 Library folder in the Finder
As you can see the structure is now related to rolls. Rolls are created for each folder you import and each import session from a camera.
It is very easy to change the names of film rolls within iPhoto to make them easier to find images within. Open the info panel in iPhoto by clicking on the "i" icon. Once it is opened, click on the roll title in the viewing window.
Click on the word "title" in the info pane and type in your new title. I like to use a date and text format such as 12/25/05 Christmas at Mom's, 1/05/06 my birthday, etc. Once the roll names are changed within iPhoto, they are also changed within the Finder, making it easy to locate an image.
When importing from a camera, make sure you name the roll with a date and text before the import.
You can add titles in iPhoto, but as you found out only iPhoto sees these new titles. To do what you want you have to name the photos before importing into iPhoto. Either download to the computer with your camera software or use Image Capture (found in your Applications folder) to download the photos.
Launch Image Capture (keep the little window open that says no camera is connected or IC will quit if you close the window)
Go to Image Captures preferences and choose what you want to happen when a camera is connected.
Next time a camera is connected, if you chose Image Capture to open, then IC will open and download the photos.
Rename your photos then import them into the library
You can choose to do it either way when you first use iPhoto (this is new in version 6)
If you choose to copy into the library when importing, then the photos are copied into the library (iPhoto Library folder in the Finder)
After you have imported all those folders of images, you can then delete the folder.

Material/Serial Nbr is "Stuck" in a storage location and can not be moved

We have a situation created by my customers which has lead to a situation I have never seen before. A material/serial nbr. that is in our Returns location that can not be transfered, issued, removed, or anything via ANY MIGO movement type combination.
This is what happend:
- Customer return processed. Material ABC, Batch XYZ with Serial Nbr. 123 brought into our "RT" StoreLoc.
- Clerk processed MIGO to do a Stock Transfer of this material to another StoreLoc. (PS). He entered in the material ABC, batch XYZ, and a bad serial number 1233. He used a 453 Movement type.
- After realizing his mistake, he processed MIGO again and processed a GI Xfer posting with a 972 movement type to get rid of the bad material/serial nbr. he had just moved to the PS StoreLoc.
- Then he tried to redo the Stock Transfer using a 453 Movement type for the material ABC, batch XYZ, and the good serial nbr. 123, but, he gets a "Deficit of BA Ret.blocked prev. 1.000 EA " error message.
- At this point, he contacts me to ask what can be done.
No matter what we try to do, we can not access this part/serial nbr. combo to move it or issue it or whatever. It is like a ghost now. You can see the serial number via IQ03, but you can not do anything with this part/serial nbr.
Help! Do I need to write an ABAP to physically delete this material/serial nbr from its batch?

Hi,
First of all, I would assume you used customized movement type 972 to 'get rid of' your material ID with wrong serial number 1233 at PS storage location. If this is the case, then this posting did not return the stock quantity from PS to your RT storage location and that why when you tried to make another posting (with correct serial number 123), an error message was popped up as you simply do not have available stock. The solution in this case are -
1)   Cancel the posting that you made previously with movement type 972. This cancellation will help return your stock (though with wrong serial number 1233) to PS storage location;
2)   Cancel the posting that you have posted to move your stock back from PS to RT (again with wrong serial number). This steps ensure the stock quantity '1' is available at RT storage location;
3)   Make another stock transfer (with correct movement type 453 and serial number 123) from RT;
4)   Delete the serial master record 1233 so that it can no longer be used.
Cheers,
HT

WHY DOES IMPORTING CDS INTO THE LIBRARY SEPARATES ARTIST TO ANOTHER FILE INSTEAD OF IMPORTING THE CD TO THE SAME LOCATION ,AND WHEN IMPORTING ANTHOLOGY CDS THE LUMP SEVERAL CDS TOGETHER AS ONE CD OR PLACE MULTILPLE CDS IN THE LIBRARY

when importing cds to the ipod library song with guest artist are not placed in the same flie they are spread all over the library ,so when playing the file they are not all together missing tracks,also importing anthology cds many artist from different cds are lumped together or multiple duplicate cds are in the library i hate this!!!! help!!!

Somebody PLEASE help me.... I keep getting the "itunes has stopped working" error when I import cd's and that it's checking windows for help. That's it! It doesn't tell me how to fix it. Apple stores or the phone support has been ZERO help. I just need to reinstall all these cds that were lost when I plugged in my new ipod to my new computer!!!

Locations are lost when importing map.

I am trying to use mdl files and OMBPlus to move changes from our dev environment to our stage environment. When the tcl script executes the import the source and target modules lose their locations in our stage environment. Is there anyway for this not to happen?
Version: OWB 10gR2

Sounds like there may be some misunderstandings of what you can do, which is understandable since not sure how much some of the concepts are explained. Have a read of below...
OWB has a number of capabilities for consolidating metadata across repositories. If you have physically created (in UI or scripting via OMBCREATE LOCATION....) the same named locations in DEV and STAGE for example they will have different global identifiers (UOIDs). The default matching criteria when you import is to match by Universal Identifier (the UOID). So if the locations referenced from the module have different UOIDs in each repository, they will not match. Matching by name would setup the metadata correctly could be one solution (but not advised really). The advised mechanism would be to use MDL export for the locations and ensure the locations have the same UOID across your repositories.

Files Renamed when importing to LR4 and now can't find them in LR3

Help! What should I do???
Yesterday I installed LR 4 Beta. I had a folder with 300 images in it on LR 3, obviously all files had names. I imported these photos into LR4 to work with LR4 and they were renamed in the process. Now in my LR3 folder, all the files still have there old names and the "missing photo ?" and I assume that's because the name has been changed and LR3 can't find them. Any thoughts on an easy fix?
Thanks,
Matthew Kraus

Thanks so much for helping me with this.
I must admit, I didn't pay too much attention when importing this "test"
group of photos to LR4, therein lies my problem. Now that I look at the
import settings that were used:
1. Files were not added or copied, they were "moved" to a new location and
also renamed.
2. Files were renamed starting with "264" using my regular import template.
Listed below are the first 10 photos with their original LR3 and he
changed LR4 names.
1201_001 changed to 1201_264-2
1201_002 changed to 1201_265-2
1201_003 changed to 1201_266-2
1201_004 changed to 1201_267-2
1201_005-Edit-Edit changed to 1201_268-2
1201_005-Edit changed to 1201_269-2
1201_005-Edit changed to 1201_270-2
1201_005-Edit-Edit-2 changed to 1201_271-2
I have a back up of my images on an EHD from several days ago which has the
original file names, but this backup only has 203 of the 268 images I
imported yesterday and are renamed.
Thanks again,
Matthew Kraus
