Importing folders recursively

My understanding is I should be able to do this from:
     File > Import > Folders as Projects.
However, this is always greyed out.
Could that be because I have folders with 'empty levels':
eg     2012 > New Year > 100EOS5D > Images
                 > Birthday  > 100EOS5D > Images
                 > Easter     > 100EOS5D > Images
rather than:
          2012 > New Year > Images
                   > Birthday > Images etc         ?
AC

The reason, was that I'd clicked on the Import icon !
Argghh!

  • Import from folders: recursing fails

    I have just switched from Adobe Lightroom, due to a massive failure on Adobe's part to handle my upgrade to LR3 well. I have been considering trying out Aperture in any case, and this was the final straw.
    So, I need to move all my photos to Aperture. I decided for an open directory hierarchy rather than a managed library, so that I can easily back up and examine my backups. I am not trying to maintain my old structure, but create a new, slightly different one, based on my past experiences.
    - I have in my home account:
    Pictures/OldPhotos/Contax_645Film/2009/06/01/*.tif and so on, many years, months and days, several cameras.
    - I want in my home account:
    Pictures/Photos/2009/06/*.tif etc.
    I tried the following:
    - Open Aperture
    - Import/Folders and Projects... (CmdShiftI)
    - Import Folders as: Folders and Projects
    - Store Files: Pictures (folder in my home account)
    - Copy Files (while testing, eventually move)
    - Ignore Duplicates: Off (my library is empty)
    - Subfolders: Image Year/Month
    - Folder text: (blank)
    - Version Name: CWYYYYMMDD_CAMERACOUNT (COUNT = Aperture counter)
    - CW_(Image Year)(Image Month)(Image Date)_(Custom Name)_(Counter)
    Custom Name = Contax645_Film, Counter = 0 (auto-increment)
    - Apply to Master Filename: On
    - RAW Files Only (there are no JPGs in this camera's folder)
    As far as I understand, this means that Aperture will import the photos in the folder I choose, dump them in the Pictures/Photos folder by year and month, and name them as indicated. It doesn't work, however. I see no photos in the import dialog.
    Then I tried something very similar, this time with normal import:
    - Open Aperture
    - Import (Cmd+I)
    - Destination: 2009 (I created Contax 645 Film/2009 folders in Aperture)
    - Project Name: C645_200906 (I guess I can change this later if needed)
    - Automatically Split Project: Off
    - Do not Import Duplicates: Off
    - Store Files: Pictures (from my user account; Pictures/Photos is autocreated)
    - Copy Files
    - Subfolder: Image Year/Month
    - Add Rename Files section:
    - Version Name: CWYYYYMMDD_CAMERACOUNT (same preset as above)
    - Name Text: Contax645_Film (for Custom Name)
    - Rename Master File (so filename matches version name)
    The elaborate project name lets me click LIBRARY/Projects and see something useful.
    This works if I choose a folder like Pictures/OldPhotos/Contax_645Film/2009/06/01/, but not if I choose Pictures/OldPhotos/Contax_645Film/2009/06, i.e. it fails to recurse. All I have seen indicates that Aperture should recurse into folders while importing, but it doesn't, meaning I have to import again and again, for each day. Argh.
    I have logged a bug with Apple, but thought I would ask here in case anyone knows what I might be doing wrong, or how I can work around it.

    Found what i needed Import - Images does the same job.

  • Premiere CC 2014.1 + SAN: Can't import folders

    We used to edit off an of-the-shelf NAS and just recently upgraded to a Facilis TerraBlock SAN.
    Now whenever we try to import folders, Premiere won't import anything. The import dialogue shows up briefly, but the progress bar just skips to the end and no files show up in Premiere. Individual or multiple files will import fine if chosen directly, but as soon as anything is nested in a folder or subfolder, it just won't come in. We tried the import dialogue, media browser, Adobe Bridge and drag&drop from Finder. Importing folders from the NAS or local storage still works fine.
    We're editing on multiple maxed-out 2013-iMacs (10.9.5) using CC 2014.1. The issue is persistent on all machines and through all versions of Premiere from CS6 to CC 2014.1.
    Our current workaround is to import the folders into AfterEffects (which strangely works fine with the SAN) and then copy/paste them into Premiere.
    Any ideas how to fix this issue?

    I am having the same issue as IronAtin. Folders will not import from our Facilis Terrablock into Premiere CC 2014. This used to work just fine in Premiere CC. Please keep us updated as to any fixes/workarounds. Thanks. 

  • Aperture 3.3 "import folders as projects" broken

    Dear all,
    I am attempting to "import folders as projects" after upgrading from 3.2 to 3.3, and it breaks EVERYTIME. I am attempting to import from an external USB3 HDD which was formated for mac properly, and checked and rechecked using the disk manager etc. It works fine (and is brand new)
    I have repaired permissions, repaired database and rebuilt database with no effect.
    Thank you all so much in advance. Greatly appreciated.
    I always get the following error message:

    Thank you for your reply,
    I can confirm that the images are all ok, and I did break the folder up in to smaller bite size segments, with no luck. It only happens when I try to import "folders as projects" as I have since successfully imported some of these folders the long way (folder by folder).
    I tried moving some of the folders to my local HDD, with no luck.
    I have turned off "scan for faces" too, with no luck. I will now see what hapens when I get rid of the "generation of previews" and see what happens.
    The crash happens almost immediately upon starting the import... I will keep you posted.
    Many thanks

  • Aperture 3 Importing Folders as Projects is taking days to complete

    Hello,
    I acquired Aperture 3 a week ago and decided to give it a try. I've been using Lightroom since version 1. All my photos are in NEF (Nikon RAW) format and stored on an External HD. I used the A3 option FILE > IMPORT > FOLDERS AS PROJECTS command and selected folders from year 2008, 2009, 2010...this are 109 folders (13401 photos) from a total of 348 from year 2003 to date, meaning I am importing a fraction of all photos.
    A very important note: I use the import option "Store Files: In their current location"...so that A3 is not moving, copying and so on, any files - it's just referencing them.
    The problem starts here - it took Aperture 3 almost 24 hours to complete the "import"...i.e. to fill all the Projects with the corresponding photos. But the IMPORT PROCESS continues forever, today is day 4...the Aperture Library on this has grown to 18 GB and still growing. There is small but constant Hard Disk activity between the External HD with the Photos and the internal HD with the Library.
    If I try to quit Aperture I get a message box:
    +"Do you want to continue importing? Aperture is currently importing files. If you quit, the import task will be canceled and any files that have not been fully imported will be removed. | Quit | Continue |"+
    How much longer shall I wait? Is it really importing or is this a bug? Why is there no progress bar or counter to give an estimate or idea of what is going on?
    Just as reference: I imported the same folders (109) into Lightroom 3 Beta with the option "Store Files: In their current location" and it took only 1-2 hours.
    Any help is highly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Kostadin

    Kostadin,
    I'm noticing same thing today. This morning I imported about 100 Canon 7D RAW images from my memory card, which took about 5 minutes upon which I got the "Delete Images and Eject Card?" dialog. I accepted and removed the card.
    4 hours later, I still have a "Importing..." spinning ball on Aperture. For the first couple of hours, I was trying to send emails with a few images and it would take 20 minutes for Aperture to generate the JPEG in the email. Now it only takes 10-15 seconds. BUt it is still "importing". So aperture continues to function, but it has some process going which keeps my CPU fans running on the MacBook Pro.
    I am anxious to see just how long it takes to IMPORT... after it finishes importing.
    What's it doing for this long?
    Jim

  • "Date Added" sort order problem when importing folders

    I sort by "Date Added" to view my iTunes library, and use the middle "view" button to view tracks grouped as albums with artwork. This works mighty well except when I'm importing folders containing the files in an album, such as those I get from eMusic--the tracks are displayed out of order when I do this. The only solution I've found so far is to import one track at a time. Any ideas how I can get those tracks in there in the right order when importing a folder? Any scripts hanging around that will do it right? Thanks to all....

    What sort order do you have selecting in the sort drop-down?  There is no "correct" sort order.  You can sort on any metadata you can show in the Browser.  The sort drop-down is located in the top border of the Browser, near the left corner.  Every container in Aperture retains the sort order it last had.  When you manually move an Image in the Browser, the sort order is changed to "Manual".

  • No seperate albums created when importing folders containing photos

    Hi ... Need some help here please..
    When importing folders containing photos in iPhoto each folder would be made into an Event. When I do the same with Photos all my pictures are placed into Albums  - All Photos. No separate Albums are made for each folder, all pictures are mixed up together.
    Why is Photos doing this?
    (Im not importing from iPhoto ... New Mac)

    Simon
    Yes it does say that, but I have to say that a significant number of people can't get that to work, and I've never found an adequate reason why.
    I recommend that you begin to import at the bottom of your hierarchy. Drag to the left hand pane and iPhoto will create a Roll and and album of the same name. You can then create the enclosing folders in iPhoto: (File -> New Folder).
    Regards

  • Best way to import folders of Photos and keep folder name?

    Hi,
    Is there a way to import folders containing photos into iphoto so that once it copies into iphoto it shows up as a named album?
    OR
    do always you have to create a new album, name it and then add pics to it?
    OR.....
    Is there an easy way using iphoto to merge 2 different libraries into one?

    In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events, uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from Finder.
    Then drag a folder of images to the Albums heading in the iPhoto Window and the pics will be imported and an Album of the same name will be created.
    Is there an easy way using iphoto to merge 2 different libraries into one?
    Using iPhoto? No. Using the paid version ($20 approx) of iPhoto Library Manager, Yes.

  • Import Folders As Projects Broke?

    When I click on import folders as projects nothing happenes.  It is as if this feature does not work at all.  I have tried to reinstall Aperture but this does not fix the issue.  Also, when I import files into aperture I dont get the Destination pop-up menu.  Does anyone know what the problem is?  Has anyone had this issue before?

    Are you saying you don;t even get the first tear window that lets you select the folder or is that once you select and press import nothing happens?
    I fit is the first case (not tear screen) then try moving the preference file out to the desktop. See Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics about 2/3 of the way down for instructions for moving the preference file.
    If the problem is nothing happens after you press import post back.

  • Importing folders from Address Book

    Hi all,
    I'm new to iPod and am wondering if there is a way to import folders from Address Book. At the moment I've got a long list of names in alphabetical order (some duplicated because they exist in more than one folder).
    Thanks,
    Andrew

    You might want to ask for further suggestions in the Mac OS X 10.5 forum, then. Someone there might know how to get the database from Address Book 5 into AB4, if it's even possible.
    Regards.

  • Missing Import folders as Keyword Collections

    Hello, I have Final Cut Pro X 10.1.4. I am practicing/training using Apple Pro Training Series. The book describs an option to "Import Folders as Keyword Collections" in the Media Import Options dialog. I am missing this option for some reason. I searched the web and could not find the answer to my problem. Could any one tells me how to get this option? I have attached screen shot of the Media Import dialog.
    Thanks

    The wording has changed slightly. Look at Keywords: There's are check boxes for folders and Finder tags.

  • Importing folders always says can't find location

    Hi,
    I recently bought a new PC and tfr'd all my old music & folders waiting to be imported into iTunes onto my new computer, not a problem. I do have a slight niggle though, when I go to import folders into iTunes I have no problems it's just that I set iTunes to copy imported files so I can delete the folders afterwards, but after I delete the folders and I go to import my next file I get this little error box telling me it can't find the location of the current folder (because I've just deleted it) so why does iTunes open the folders when I click to import them in? I never had this problem on my old PC running Vista but not I'm on Windows 7 it's happened ever since.
    As you can seen I get this message EVERYTIME I delete a folder recently imported, is there a fix for this? I imagine it may not be an iTunes issue but I'm hoping someone on here has had a similar issue as I can't word it right into Google.
    Thanks

    iTunes remembers the last folder you imported with Add Folder to Library and tries to preset the "Browse for Folder" dialog to that location, generating an error if the folder doesn't exist. It ought to test for the presence of the folder first and default to a known location such as the media folder if not found but there it is. Change your workflow. If you're letting iTunes reorganise the media the way it likes to then just drop a copy into the Automatically add to iTunes folder. If you won't need the originals after import move instead of copying, though I'd recommend always having a backup...

  • How do I solve "import failed" when trying to import folders to the organizer?

    When I try to import folders to the organizer I get an "import failed" message.  Then it says that files or folders selected did not contain any supported file types or they are already in the catalog.  I don't think it can be the latter because I just installed it today and haven't been able to import any files or folders.  Can anyone give me troubleshooting ideas; I can't find any in the help menus.  Thanks a bunch!!

    The JPG data might be corrupted just enough for PSE to choke on the image, although other programs can open the image OK.  Try opening one of the images in XnView, for instance, and saving that image; which will re-write the JPG data correctly.  Then see if Organizer can import it.

  • Importing folders into albums (PE7) & keeping structure

    hi,
    Is there any way to import folders (w/pix) into photoshop elements 7 albums while keeping the folder structure in albums?
    For example:
    Folders
    2009
    +-->  Jan
    +-->  Feb
        +---->  Kids
        +---->  animals
    to the same but in Albums?
    thanks
    Jason

    By the way, you can't find photos that are in two albums via searching using PSE commands.
    In PSE 7, you can do this using the the Find > By Details command. But it's very clumsy, especially if you have lots of albums.  It's a lot easier to do with tags.
    You also can't limit a search to within an album, but you can limit a search to within a specific tag.
    In PSE 7, sometimes you can use the Organize pane, but often you have to resort to the Find > By Details page.
    For example, to find all the photos in an album containing a certain tag, first click the album and then the tag. If you want to find all the photos with a tag within a given time range, you can click the tag and then Find > Set Date Range.  But that won't work with albums -- clicking an album clears any date range, so you'll have to use Find > By Details, which is tedious.
    But your high-level point still holds in PSE 7: Adobe designed albums and tags for different purposes, and albums aren't full citizens when it comes to search.
    Interestingly, the last Adobe PSE survey asked several questions about albums, indicating that the product manager is aware that there is confusion in the product design betwen tags and albums.  I think Adobe has worked themselves into a corner: In PSE 6, they changed the name "collection" to "album" in an attempt to use a name that had more meaning to the typical user. But new users approach the product not knowing what tags are but thinking that they know what an "album" is, so of course they're going to use an "album", not a "tag".  And then they discover their organization is crippled by all the restrictions PSE places on albums.

  • Understanding File Import Images VS File Import Folders into a Project

    Hello,
    When I select the "File>Import>Images" command, images go straight into my project, no album is created.
    When when I use the "File>Import>Folders into a Project..." command on a folder containing subfolders, it will map the folder to a Project and subfolders to albums. OK.
    However, when I use the "File>Import>Folders into a Project..." command on a folder with NO subfolders, images are put in an Album anyway. Why is that?
    Is it possible to avoid the creation of an album and have images straight in the Project?
    Thanks,

    You're right. Me alone is nothing. But if a high % of A2 users think like me, then maybe this feature needs some polishing.
    The REALLY simple work around is to delete the album. The images won't go with it, and it's faster than retyping the name.
    Good, that's the workaround I needed. For some reasons I was under the impression that deleting the album would delete the the images as well. I guess I'm still not used to that project-album concept.
    You could hit Command + Delete on a hundred Projects and do less work than you've done on this one thread.
    BTW: You submit feedback by choosing Aperture>> Provide Aperture Feedback not by posting it on a U2U forum. There are Apple moderators here but not Application Engineers.
    Sure, that's how I always submit feedback to Apple.
    Thanks.
