Importing Files with Existing Sidecar files

Hi,
I've recently needed to delete all Lightroom database files, and essentially start from scratch again. Now all my images already had sidecars, but upon importing, all the information was overwritten, or lost, so any editing I had done was also gone. Have I done something terribly wrong to get this result?
Also, how do I migrate edited images from the laptop to the desktop and keep any changes made? I used to just sync specific directories, but info seems to get lost when it's imported into my other copy of LR...
Sorry if this is really basic stuff, but I can't go trawling around every help file to find out...

The default was just like now. You had to request write or autowrite to XMP in the Puplic Betas.

Creating IPA file with Multiple SWF files using ADT

Iam successfully able to create ipa files using the ADT package but my next requirement is to create an IPA file with multiple swf files.I think it might be easy if your SWF files are regular the tough part is my swf file has lot of action script in it so the only option is to through the command prompt and using the ADT package of Adobe AIR.So now i have 10 SWF files like this and iam creating ipa file for each swf seperatly but now I want to put all of the swf files into one ipa file.Please let me know if i was not clear in my description

I think you are trying to explain how to load two swf's one with action
script and loading an other swf file which should be non action script.If
you read my requirement carefully.I have all the same type of swf's and
these swf are automatically created as a form of output for xcelsius dash
board software.Iam capable of creating individialu ipa files from these swf
files.So when I try to combine the same kind of swf files the first error
its giving is the file name which I have used in the xml.in the main file
name for the swf file its not considering the two swf file name in the
initial window.so the adt package in the command line is not understanding
the file name from the xml and the command prompt and giving error this swf
file does not exist.So please consider how to combine two swf files with AS3
into one ipa file.These swf files are not editable,Let me know if you find
any idea to achieve this

Snow Leopard 10.6.2 CS4 InDesign can't open files with a "#" in file path

Snow Leopard 10.6.2 CS4 InDesign can't open files with a "#" in file path using any of these perfectly normal methods:
1. double-click file in the Finder (e.g in a Folder on your Mac or on your Mac desktop etc.)
2. select file and choose "File... Open" command-o in the Finder
3. drag file to the application icon in the Finder.
4. Select file in Bridge and double-click, choose File.. Open.. or Drag icon to InDesign icon in dock.
If you try to open an ID file named with a "#", you will get an error message "Missing required parameter 'from' for event 'open.'"
This happens to any InDesign file that has a "#" (pound sign, number sign, or hash) in the filename or in the file path (any parent folder).
To reproduce
Name an InDesign file Test#.idd Try to open it in the Finder or Bridge (as opposed to the "Open" dilaog of InDeisng itself).
"Solution"
The file WILL open using File... Open... command-o while in InDesign application.
Rename the file or folders that have a "#" (shift-3) in the filename.
Report to Adobe if it bugs you.
This does not occur in "plain" Leopard 10.5 nor Tiger 10.4
Untested in Panther or before and
Untested with CS3 and earlier in Snow Leaopard.
Anyone have those and want to try this... ?

In case this really bothers you: we've added a workaround for this into Soxy. If you enable the option, these documents will open fine on double-click.
You need Soxy 1.0.7 from:
http://www.rorohiko.com/soxy
Go to the 'Soxy' - 'Preferences' - 'Other' dialog window, and enable 'Open InDesign via Script'
(Irrelevant background info (it's all invisible to the user): the workaround works by special-casing how Soxy opens documents in InDesign: instead of using AppleScript, Soxy will use ExtendScript to instruct InDesign to open the document - which works fine).

Where does Lightroom put HDR in the grid view? Is there anyway to have Lightroom stack the HDR file with the source files?

I can't decipher where (and why) the program is putting the HDR image in the grid. I stack all of my HDR source images so they are easy to track and manage. Other apps/plugins allow you to stack resulting images with their source image. That would be great if there's a way to set that in LR preferences.

Thanks, but this doesn't really answer the question about stacking the HDR file with the source files. Yes, it does put the file in the same folder, however many of my folders have 100s of images (that often look similar) and as far as I can tell, LR places them randomly in the sort order. It doesn't appear to put them at the beginning or end of the sort (usually by date), but somewhere randomly in the middle. Even if it could be made clear what method it is using to sort them, that would help locate one file among hundreds.
Ideally, however it should allow you to stack with the stacked source files. Is there anyway to do this? If not, is it a feature that could be requested?

Cannot open a a file with a specific file name

I have 1 person who cannot open or save a file with a specific file name on his computer. If he does it at another computer he is fine, no one else has this issue. The error he gets when trying to open the file is { Cannot create file:missingperson.pdf. Right-click the folder you want to create the file in, and then click Properties on the shortcut menu to check your permissions for the folder}
Any ideas on how to resove this. He gets this file sent to him on a regular basis, and cannot have the file name changed.
Thank you

I have run across something similar. Assuming that this PDF they are getting through email is the same name, then this is how I fixed my problem.
When you get a file in an email and open it, it writes that file to the Temporary Internet Files folder. Lets assume the file name is filename.pdf If you open a file from email with the same name at a later time, it creates a file called filename(1).pdf. Open a file with the same name again, it creates filename(2).pdf, and so on. Once you get to filename(99).pdf, it will start giving you a lot of trouble. When I cleared out those filename.pdf's, everything went back to normal.
Hope this helps.

Has anyone been able to upload an ibooks file with audio only files (m4a) in it? I keep getting the following error message during the upload in iTunes Producer: ERROR ITMS-9000: "Files of type audio/x-m4a are not allowed outside of widgets.

Has anyone been able to upload an ibooks file with audio only files (m4a) in it? I keep getting the following error message during the upload in iTunes Producer: ERROR ITMS-9000: "Files of type audio/x-m4a are not allowed outside of widgets. then it names the file as an m4p file. Everything works beautifully on the iPad through Preview, and validates through iTunes Producer up until the attempted upload. If you've been able to accomplish this, please let me know how you prepared your audio files. Many thanks.

Hello Fellow iBook Authors!
Today I received the same error that you all have been discussing. I tried selecting the DRM
and this did not work for me, though I'm glad it did for some. Here's what I did as a work-around. . .
Since iBooks Author did not have a problem with Videos, I simply used one of my video programs, ScreenFlow to turn the audio into a video file m4v. I added an image and extended the length or timing of the image to span the length of the audio file. Then exported as an .mov. I then opened QuickTime and opened the file and exported the file to iTunes.
You can use iMovie, Camtasia or any other progam that will allow you to export the audio as a movie file. Does this make sense? I hope this helps, at least in the short-term.

Connect the music file with the artwork file post-computer-crash?

I want to retrieve artwork after restoring my computer?
So my computer (where itunes app data was stored) and my external hardrive (where my itunes library was stored) crashed, but luckily I had my itunes library was stored on dropbox so I have that uploading to my revived computer!
I have access to all my "old computer's" files (via a mounted image file that looks just like an external drive H: )
The "old computer" itunes used my dropbox folder for the library (J:work\Dropbox\Allen's Transfer Folder\iTunes)
my "New comuter" uses a local folder but the contents are exactly the same (C:\Companies\Dropbox\Allen's Transfer Folder\iTunes)
How can I get the artwork data from my "old computer" onto my "new computer" so that itunes will connect the music file with the artwork file?
is there a data file and will they automatically sync to the artwork if they are in different locations?
Thank you for your help, Allen

… is there any reason i shouldn't delete the artwork folder?
All of my music is from CDs, so all of my cover art are scanned images that I added to the music files in iTunes. My Album Artwork folder is heavily populated nonetheless. Thus, it stands to reason that if you delete the folder, just like every other default item in your iTunes folder it will be recreated when you launch iTunes. If I recall correctly, that folder also holds the data files for building your CoverFlow.

itunes only demarcates songs whose files are missing with an exclamation point after i click on the song. otherwise everything appears as normal. if i quit itunes and reopen it, nothing is marked with the exclamation point until i click on it.
I personally have never had an issue with missing song links, but based on what I had read on the Macworld forums over the years, when links are lost, people start seeing /!\ next to several tracks in their iTunes library. Of course, most of the instances that I have read about have been after iTunes updates so perhaps it is during the library updating after a software update that causes the automatic detection of broken links. Otherwise, it does make sense that iTunes would not check a link until the user selects an unlinked song, because iTunes does not, and should not, scan your entire library for no apparent reason.

Importing older Camera Raw-adjusted RAW files with XMP sidecars

When I import CR2 files (Canon RAW) that have XMP files alongside them into my Lightroom 4 catalog, Lightroom correctly reads image adjustments from XMP files and assigns them as Develop settings for the newly imported photos. This is how I expected it to be. Lightroom assigns older process version to these files, as it should be.
One quick question I have though: once I imported all these CR2 files into my collection, is it safe to delete all those XMP sidecar files immediately? I assume that Lightroom stores all Develop settings in the catalog file at the moment of the import and that XMP sidecars are no longer necessary. Is that correct? Or do I have to enter the Develop mode with each imported file first, before deleting the XMP in order to make old settings to "stick"?

So, that's what I did. I successfully imported my pictures into my catalog and then deleted all XMP files (or, more precisely, backed them up in a different location).
However, Lightroom still remembers that my pictures used to have sidecar XMP files. The Metadata window still says "Sidecar file: xmp". And, more importantly, absence of XMP files triggers errors when I attempt to move imported pictures from one folder to another inside Lightroom. Lightroom report errors for each file that used to have a sidecar, listing all missing XMP files in the error window. The move operation completes successfully though, but Lightroom still refuses to forget about the XMP sidecar even after the file is moved. Next time I attempt to move the same picture, the same error window pops up again.
How do I force Lightroom to forget about XMP files for pictures that were originally imported with XMP sidecars?

Importing topics overwrites existing image files

Whenever I import a topic from one project into another,
RoboHelp 6 does not check my existing image filenames to make sure
it doesn't overwrite an image with the same name. This happens even
if I create a new folder in the destination project and import into
it. I would expect that it would import the images into that same
folder, instead of overwriting the existing image files.

I'm afraid RH doesn't work like Windows Explorer. The only
way around this is to rename the file being imported or the image
file in the project into which the other files are being imported.
Remember to do this inside your RH project though ;-)
