Import target folder templates

I would like to rationalise my current workflow by eliminating Breeze Systems' Downloader Pro, but in order to do that I need to be able to set an import's target folder from a template.
What I want to be able to do is have Lightroom calculate a target folder name based on the metadata from the image it is importing, creating the target folder before import if necessary. Downloader Pro allows you to set the target folder based on all kinds of metadata, but the ones I use are a per-import "job code" that I supply interactively before the import, various date manipulations (based on the capture time/date), and camera name variants from the EXIF. Given that I end up with a folder structure like this:
    \Photos\<YYYY>\<YYYY>-<MM>\<job code>\<short camera name>_<image-number>.nef
e.g.
    \Photos\2009\2009-06\My Job Code\d60_01234.nef
and the only part I have to remember to supply before starting is the job code ("My Job Code" above) and Downloader pops up a dialog to ensure that I don't forget.
This, combined with import presets would make for a superb import system.
Cheers,
Simon

While I use a different format (\<YY>\<month number>-<month name>\<job code>), I really want more control over the import folder structure, along the lines of how file renaming works.
I managed to fudge this in LR1 by using the internationalization codes (link long-forgotten) but it would be nice to have this "really" solved.

    I don't think you understand: I want to open Dreamweaver and build a brand new site, then when I am done I want to host the dreamweaver site on the Business Catalyst platform. I dont want to use anything in BC to build the site, I just want to use the hosting platform. I do not want to import a BC site into dreamweaver or anything like that. I just want to use BC the same way I would use godaddy, or uhost or any other hosting provider. Based on your response you said that "of course its possible to build a BC site in Dreamweaver" I dont want to build a BC site, I want to build a Dreamweaver site and host it on the BC platform. Like I said before it doesnt seem like this is possible. As of now we can only build a new site in MUSE and integrate it into BC without using a BC template. Can you understand what I am saying. I DONT WANT TO USE A BC TEMPLATE, I WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH BC WHILE I AM BUILDING THE SITE WITH DREAMWEAVER, JUST LIKE MUSE DOES.

  • Tracking target folder

    Hi guys.
    Its possible locate a particular e-mail and display the folder where it is? (Outlook)
    Through powershell.
    It would be like the following example?
    Search-Mailbox -Identity "Name" -SearchQuery "Subject:'Test'" -TargetMailbox "[email protected]" -TargetFolder * -LogOnly -LogLevel Full
    Thanks.
    David Soares MCTS:MBS - MCTS - MCITP

    Yes, the target folder in target mailbox will have an attachment with a csv report that will have folder name where it found the mail with that subject...
    Here is the sample csv output where it found the mail with subject a line at two places, one in a test folder and one in sent item folder...

  • Search-Mailbox not attaching the infected emails in target folder and deleting the contents in exchange 2010 & 2013 coexistence

    Dear All,
    I have an issue with deleting circulated spam emails in my environment through search-mailbox
    We have Exchange 2010 & 2013  CU5 environment 
    I followed the search and destroy document for exchange 2010 
    http://windowsitpro.com/exchange-server-2010/search-destroy-email-content-exchange-2010
    Added the user to Discovery Management group
    Created a new role group as below 
    New-RoleGroup "Mailbox Import-Export Management" -Roles "Mailbox Import Export"
    Add-RoleGroupMember "Mailbox Import-Export Management" -Member Administrator
    I ran the below commands
    Search-Mailbox -Identity "[email protected]" -SearchQuery "Subject:'report'" -TargetMailbox "Administrator" -TargetFolder "Filter" -LogOnly -LogLevel Full
    The above command gets completed successfully and sends the log report  however im unable to see any attachments
    Similarly the deletecontent also gets completed successfully and logs result. But it does not delete the infected emails 
    Search-Mailbox -Identity  "[email protected]" -SearchQuery "Subject:'report'" -TargetMailbox "administrator" -TargetFolder "filter" -deletecontent -LogLevel Full
    Any idea why it is not fetching the infected emails in zip file and why it is not deleting but it is able to log in the target folder 
    Any help much appreciated

  • "Target folder cannot be an existing non-CVS location"

    I recently installed 9.03 with cvs 1.11.2. I set up a password server for cvs, and imported a project into that cvs server. I went ahead and selected the "check out after importing" option, thinking that it would make my original directory that I imported from become cvs'd. But when I selected the directory to checkout to, it tells me "Target folder cannot be an existing non-CVS location." It works fine if I select a new directory, but I'm happy with my current directory structure. Shouldn't I be able to check out the files into the current directory and overwrite the existing files? I thought that this worked in 9.02. Any ideas?
    Andrew

    From what I gather, this is a limitation of CVS itself: you can't check out to a directory which contains existing files unless that directory is a CVS sandbox.
    The easiest way to work around this is to rename the original import directory after the import has completed. E.g. if you're importing from:
    c:\mycvswork\mymodule
    Then, after the import has completed, rename this directory to
    c:\mycvswork\mymodule_bak
    And you should be able to checkout to c:\mycvswork\mymodule.
    Thanks,

  • Lightroom won't import a folder of jpg's

    I tried to import a folder of jpgs on my Mac.  It successfully imported about 175 and then just stopped (but I've got about 5,000+ photos).  It will no longer import a single photo.  How do I find the offending photo so I can resume my imports.  I told it to move photos so all photos left in the folder are new to Lightroom.  If I deselect the first photo and try to import the rest.. I get the same problem.  Thanks.

    Thanks Dorin!!
    you were correct! I didn't notice the rather hard to see icon on the one image shown which is displayed when a group of images are stacked together.
    Simply unstacking the stack resulted in LR displaying all 1000+ images that were in the stack. How they got put into a stack in the first palce remains a mystery.

  • Can Aperture not be set up to show a "Last Import" smart folder?

    I'm trying to make the transfer from using iPhoto to using Aperture.
    One thing I found really great in iPhoto was the smart folder that was simply set to show the last import, no matter when that import was done - whether it was today, yesterday or 6 months ago.
    The reason I found this so handy was because I set my iPad up in iTunes to only sync the photos from that Last Import smart folder, rather than all my photos.
    That way, every time I synced my iPad, I always had my most recent photos on my iPad, no matter when the pictures were taken.
    Now with Aperture, I cannot see a way to create anything similar. The best I can do is to create a smart folder with photos imported within the last month, let's say.
    But the problem with that is that if I haven't imported any new photos for over a month, then the next time I sync my iPad, then all my photos will no longer be on the iPad.
    If I create a longer timeframe, to let's say 3 months, then I might end up with way too many photos trying to sync across, and that's something I don't want. I could end up with hundreds and hundreds of photos, and I don't have the free space to be able to do this!
    When I used "Last Import" with iPhoto, then I always only had around 50 or 60 photos, because that's just generally how many I usually imported at any one time. Sometimes it was more, sometimes less, but the average worked for me.
    So to sum up: Can Aperture not be set up to show a "Last Import" smart folder, regardless of date?
    Or alternatively, is there any way I could "hack" or "trick" Aperture into doing something like this so that I always have a managable amount of the most recent photos on my iPad?

    Hello Brett,
    that does not seem to be an easy probem as you discovered.
    Some Workarounds:
    You might to use a smart album rule "Import session is" instead of a date range, but that will not be automatic.
    Create a folder "recently added" and keep your recent projects inside that folder; create a smart album at the top level of that folder; move older projects somewhere else.
    Or enable the Photo Stream - that is the current replacement for the "most recently added" album; it will (is supposed to) always show the most recent 1000 images.
    If you are familiar with AppleScript, you can make Aperture run an AppleScript on import (Import Settings) to add your imported image to an album of new images. From time to time remove the older images.
    Sorry, but no really convenient way to do it..
    Regards
    Léonie

  • Not Enough Disk Space In Target Folder PLEASE HELP!

    I've produced a project with 10 menus and 21 tracks totaling 3.1 gigs and I can not burn it. Each time I get the remark "Not Enough Disk Space In Target Folder." I have 8.8 gigs on my internal harddrive and various externals.
    PLEASE SOMEBODY HELP. I fear I will seriously threaten my job if I can't get this done tomorrow.

    Hi
    Select just Build and check the destination location and set a drive with enough space. Then you can burn using that build.
    I have 8.8 gigs on my internal harddrive and various externals.
    How big is that drive?
    Hope that helps !

  • When I try to import a folder of jpeg files into iPhoto, only some are imported. I get the message "The following files could not be imported. (The file is in an unrecognized format.)" I am running iPhoto '09 ver. 8.1.2 on OSX 10.5.8. They are all RGB.

    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • Splitting a document,in output options you select the target folder to be "the same folder selected at start"? Where is that folder?

    When splitting a document, in output options you can select the target folder to be "the same folder selected at start", but where is that folder?  I assumed it would be the original location of the source file but in my test the split files are not there just the source file.

    Have you checked My Documents? You might close Acrobat and reopen, then see what folder comes up when you select File>Open.

  • When I import a folder into my library, music starts playing and I can't stop it.

    So, I haven't used iTunes in years.
    I'm just wondering if this is the same for everyone, of if I've just done something wrong.
    Brand new install of the latest version of iTunes (11.3.1) - Open it up, use the "Import folder" option to import a folder into my library.
    It's a large (over 200gb) folder.
    As it's importing, for some reason, iTunes starts to play the first few seconds of each album that gets imported.
    But, because the "Importing.." dialogue window is open, I can't hit "pause" or "stop".
    So, my computer is just sitting here playing the first few seconds of many many songs whilst importing. I can turn down the volume to stop it, but I'm just wondering -
    Is this normal? Seems a little odd and strange.

    Generally setting a common Album Artist will fix things.

  • How to create a half fold template in Adobe Illustrator?

    Hi
    I wanna design a card by using adobe illustrator, but i have no idea how to create half fold template.
    Anyone can teach me how to create a half fold A4 template?
    Thanks alot !!

    Indeed, Monika. And then you have to trust them.
    Most know what they're doing (and if you know what you're doing, you can tell them apart by the answers they give you to your questions).
    They produce by certified standards and if you deliver exactly according to the specifications, you get what you want. They have automatic processes to check your documents and reject them when they don't conform to the specs.

  • Can I import a "folder tree" into an "album tree"?

    I have organized a large set of photos on my PC into a nice "directory tree" or hierarchy of nested folders. The nesting structure makes sense since there is a clear hierarchical relationship amongst the photos, and there are so many of them. Viewing them is easy on my PC - I just navigate the folder structure and go into "Picture Viewer" in each folder to see all the pictures on a particlar topic.
    Now, I want to do this on my Mac. Since we lack a "Picture Viewer" function in the iMac world (unless I go look for a freeware one), I am wondering if iPhoto can hold this kind of structure. Basically, albums within albums. I've tried to create a new one and move it inside an existing one and it doesn't seem to like that. Is one level the best iPhoto can do? If so, that is pathetic. The world is more complex than that. I am using iPhoto 2.0.1.
    If it is possible, my extra credit question for whoever tackles this is "can I import the folder structure into iPhoto and keep the nested structure as a tree of albums?". Thanks.

    iPhoto is for people who want a one-app solution for managing all their photos, preparing photo books, ordering prints, and preparing slide shows, and who are satisfied with two levels of storage hierarchy and very limited image editing options. This mostly means family snapshooters. You have a very primitive early version of iPhoto which was bundled at no cost with consumer Macs in its day. iPhoto 6 in particular offers much more organizational flexibility than previous versions, but it's by no means a professional photographer's tool.
    I have nearly 100,000 photos stored on my computers. About 10,000 of them are in eight different iPhoto libraries. The best of my own work and my archives of historical photos are stored in folder hierarchies of my own design, not in iPhoto libraries, and I edit and sort them and prepare prints and presentations using them in Photoshop CS2, Adobe Bridge, GraphicConverter, ViewIt, and occasionally other apps.
