Incomplete Folder Hierarchy

Hi,
I really hope that someone is able to help me with this, because it is driving me crazy. I have been using Bridge CS 4 for a long time, at I have continously had problems with the folders view. Very often the folder that I keep all my pictures in is not displaying and this is despite the fact that Bridge is set to show EVERYTHING including hidden files.
My way around this problem would usually be to select the missing folder under "favorites" and then revert to the folders panel. That would usually make bridge acknowledge that there should be a "my pictures" folder and it would display it in the hierarchy. Although it was a tedious work around, it worked.
Now, after upgrading to CS5, I can't for the life of me get it it to show the folder in the hierarhy no matter how I go around it.
As you can see from the screen shot below, the "My pictures" folder is located right in between the "my Music" and the "My Recipes" folder. In Bridge it is none-existing. As mentioned, I can access it throug my favorites panel, but it will not show up in the folder hierarchy. Also, when I try to enter any on the folders that are White, I get the message "The item could not be displayed. It may have been moved or renamed". This is not the case for any of those folders. As you can see they are available in the windows explorer pane and I have no problem accessing them here.
Please help someone and thanks a lot in advance.

Hi Naomi,
May I have the build number of your Bridge CS5? Is it the GM build x529? If yes, I suggest you update to CS5 patch 4.0.2 and try again.
Thanks!

Support symbolic links (symlinks or Unix's 'ln -s') in the iTunes Media folder hierarchy

As of iTunes version 12.0.1.26, iTunes has partial support for symbolic links in the iTunes Media folder hierarchy. I'd like Apple to enhance iTunes to treat any symlink or folder alias within the hierarchy the same as folders. With the Unix core under OS X, there is no clear reason to not support this feature.
Why is this important? As more of us try to use iTunes as the single repository of all media, the library size becomes larger than is possible to hold on a single partition. The simplest and most convenient solution is to allow users to move large folders (e.g. Music, or Movies) to a different drive or partition, then put an alias or symlink in the original location within the iTunes hierarchy. Users with large collections or small partitions may need to split multiple times. Other users may want to put the bulk of their media on their home/work NAS and only keep a portion on their laptop for mobile access (think long overseas flights), but not have to constantly fiddle with iTunes.
The point is not whether any one of these scenarios may be supported today though a crude hack or third-party tool. Support for symlinks would be relatively easy for Apple to implement and extremely flexible for advanced users.
This is partially supported today. For example, if you do what I described above, iTunes will play all of your existing media. The part that is definitely broken is when you try to use the "Automatically Add to iTunes" folder, iTunes will not copy the file to a location under a symlink or alias. The new file will sit in the "Automatically Add to iTunes" folder and iTunes will generate multiple instances/tracks inside iTunes (e.g. movies appear in the "Unwatched" tab). While there are ways to work around this limitation, they are tedious and ultimately unnecessary if full symlink/alias support is provided.

Best way to batch resize images in nested folder hierarchy?

Hello,
I'm looking for help on [what is probably] a classic problem related to content sites.
I'm launching a content site that has numerous articles, and attached to each article is a number of images. The raw site assets are currently set up in a folder hierarchy like this:
Overall site assets folder
Category One folder
Article One folder
Unmodified images folder
Resized, production-ready images folder
Article Two folder
Unmodified images folder
Resized, production-ready images folder
Etc..., etc....
There are hundreds of articles in this hierarchy.
I'm looking for a script that will take every image in each "Unmodified" folder and save a resized copy to the "Resized" folder, preferably with different settings for vertical and horizontal images (though I'll be OK with just fixing the width if need be).
I realize that I can do this manually and locally within each folder with a droplet, but between droplets / actions / plug-ins or third-party tools, is there an easy way to accomplish this across a large nested hierarchy with many folders as long as the Unmodified and Resized folders are nested together? And what about horizontal vs. vertical images?
THANKS!!!!!!
Scott

Ahhh, I understand what you're saying. I'm downloading and installing this CS6 script, which might be along the lines of what I'm looking for:
Dr. Brown Services - Image Processor Pro
http://www.e-zest.net/blog/photoshop-cs6-save-for-web-images-batch-processing-keeping-nest ed-folder-structure-intact/
Photoshop supports recording the actions and the facility to run that action for batch processing. But it also has a couple of limitations up to Photoshop cs6 as mentioned below –
Photoshop does not maintain the source, hereditary/nested folder structure for the output (destination) images. Save for web only saves all the files to the folder specified when you record the action.
In case of some file handling issues, Photoshop action throws an error & pauses/stops working, wherein we need to skip these errors manually.
I I tried to Google it to find answers and also tried couple of JavaScript solutions such as the – SFW Batch Processor, SFWCS4-5, Picture Processor etc., but unfortunately all of them didn’t work for me. Either it gave up or stopped working or even threw errors for PhotoshopCS6 and CS2.
Thanks to Russell Brown for providing new CS6 Extension script to resolve the ‘save for web’ batch processing issue like maintaining the images nesting folder structure.
Not sure if it does exactly what I need, but checking....
Best,
Scott

Corruption of User privileges on folder hierarchy (not taken into account ANYMORE)

Hello.
We use Portal 3.0.6.3.3 (still EA release) on NT with Oracle 8iR2.
We have set a Content Area and a very classical folder hierarchy to be managed by a single user (called administrator having all privileges on all folders) and other users having just the "Manage Items" and "View Content" for all folders, starting with the root folder.
It has worked perfectly for a while but after further work on privileges that, unfortunately, we cannot trace back, we have our folders not taking into account the privileges set (under the Access Tab) anymore.
Actually all users have now all privileges on the whole folder hierarchy. It means, an "Edit Folder" not only provides the "Add Item" link option but also all other options (Folder Properties, etc) are available.
We have checked again and again the privileges on the CA, root folder, folders etc, tried and removed and re-created the users or new users etc without success.
We imagine some privilege management-related table of the Content Area/Folder are "corrupted".
How could we return to a normal situation? On which tables of Portal schema should we investigate and try to find out what is going on?
Thanks for any help.
null

... still me.
OK, forget my question. It appears that some "generic" group priviliges (AUTHENTICATED_USERS) had been changed by mistake thus overriding any other settings of the users and groups we were contemplating. So everything is under control now...
Thanks for having read anyway ;-)

Is my library too big or my folder hierarchy inefficient

Just reread the bagelturf article on lib size.
My library has 2500 images (masters are referenced) and it is 3.78GB. This works out at 1.5MB per image which seems to be three times the suggested size in bagelturf.
I wonder if my use of blue folders is causing this. I have one main project with nearly all of the images. It's called India. I then have blue folders within this project for each of the states/big cities I've visited. I even have one blue folder which covers an entire state in addition to blue folders for the individual districts within that state (the state folder is a replication of all of these individual blue folder districts).
Is this the root of the problem?
Ross

After the above suggestion, I've now rearranged my library using a blue folder hierarchy (what I referred to above as blue folders was in fact blue albums)
My highest level is a blue folder (Asia 2008). At the next level I have two small projects (Cambodia and Thailand). I also have a trip to India but this is a very large collection so I have inserted a blue folder (India 2008) at this second level. The India folder is then divided into individual projects for the different parts of India that I have travelled in. For the moment I can see no use for brown folders - is this a mistake?
Is this a better arrangement performance wise?
Deleting the previous arrangment of top levels projects with India geographically divided using blue albums has caused a dramatic decrease in my library size - from over 5GB to 2GB with a total of 3500 images - 580Kb each now. I guess those blue albums are memory consumers.

Export All images with Folder Hierarchy?

Hi,
I use Lightroom all the time but would like to have all my photos available on my Iphone but it is not compatible with raw files. Is there a way that I could export all my images but keep their folder hierarchy intact so I would end up with a duplicate set of folders the same as I have in lightroom but the new set would only contain jpegs?
Thanks
Matt

I do just that with a free tool that has been published on "another" forum.
I'm not so sure if I can put th elink down here, but search for
Preserving Folder Tree Hierarchy using Export Plugins in 2.0
and you'll find a solution. Read the thread to the end, there are a number of improvement that never got into the "official" release.

Mirror folder hierarchy

Hi,
I want my CWS to mirror the source repository structure. I used the DB CWS example to start my development. When I created a crawler, I never see the option to "Mirror folder hierarchy" or "Import security...". Is there something that I should changed?
Thanks

Hi Syuroff,
     In this case, you should use the root as /Volumes/Drive2/AUSST_Updates/updates/oobe and the url you need to specify should point to this location. For example if http://serverx:8080 points to /Volumes/Drive2/AUSST_Updates then you need to specify the url as http://serverx:8080/updates/oobe. If you allow directory browsing, then you can verify that the URL http://serverx:8080/updates/oobe points to /Volumes/Drive2/AUSST_Updates/updates/oobe. Once you ensure this, you have to run
AdobeUpdateServerSetupToolCS5 --root="/Volumes/Drive2/AUSST_Updates/updates/oobe"
and select appropriate option to sync with Adobe Update Server. Once this step is completed, you will see two folders namely updates and webfeed created under /Volumes/Drive2/AUSST_Updates/updates/oobe location. Now you can run another command to generate the client config file:
AdobeUpdateServerSetupTool2.0 --genclientconf="/Volumes/Drive2/AUSST_Updates/updates/oobe/config"
                                                       --root="/Volumes/Drive2/AUSST_Updates/updates/oobe"
                                                       --url="http://serverx:8080/updates/oobe"
As mentioned in my earlier post, this command will create a folder named config under /Volumes/Drive2/AUSST_Updates/updates/oobe/config
location. This folder will contain all the override files for both Mac and Windows.
Let me know if this answers your query.
Thanks,

ITunes folder hierarchy.

Is there somewhere I could find an open view of the iTunes folder hierarchy, showing where my Music goes? The reason being, I have several folders named "Music", and I am not sure which one, or where to move it to on my new iMac.
user/myname/Music, contains two folders:
(1) iTunes, which contains: Album Artwork, iTunes Library, Extras.itdb, Genius.itdb, and iTunes Media, (which contains another "Music" folder) and Automatically add to iTunes.
(2) Music, which holds all my iTunes Albums.
Exactly which folder should my music be in? I cannot find a folder named iTunes library, and want to make sure that everything is as it should be.
thanks in advance.

The folder structure looks something like this:
The red outline is the *iTunes Music* or *iTunes Media* folder. If you change the default media location in preferences this is the stuff that is moved. Keeping the one folder nested inside the other is best however because the whole thing (iTunes) can be moved somewhere else without "breaking" your library. As stated elsewhere the default location for the top level iTunes folder is inside your profile's Music folder.
There is no standard folder called "iTunes Library". Depending on the context "iTunes Library" refers to the entire iTunes folder, its subfolders and their contents, or everything outside the media folder, or just the *iTunes Library.itl* file. You can, if you wish, have more than one iTunes library and the top folder doesn't have to be called "iTunes".

Folder Compare Utility that Ignores folder hierarchy?

Hi-
I'm looking for a utility that compares the files in two different folders to flag differences... BUT ignores the folder hierarchy. For instance, in Folder A "instructions.doc" may by in a sub-folder called "Computer," but in Folder B it may be in a sub-folder called "Computer Stuff," so I wouldn't want it to be flagged. But if it weren't ANYWHERE in Folder B, I would want a notification.
Does anyone know if such a utility exists?
Thanks!

Thanks to some help on another forum, this is how I did it:
In Terminal, run:
cd folderA
find . > ~/foldera.txt
cd folderB
find . > ~/folderb.txt
This will create textfiles in your home directory that list all files in each folder. The files are listed with their full paths, so now open the lists in a text editor (I used TextMate) and do a find-replace to remove the path information and leave just bare filenames - I used the regex expression \..*\/ I also then sorted each file alphabetically.
Now you can compare the two file-lists in Terminal with diff:
diff ~/foldera.txt ~/folderb.txt
Or you can do the comparison with nicer visuals using the FileMerge utility that comes with the Developer Tools.
There might be easier ways to do it, but this worked for me.
HTH.

Folder hierarchy!!

Hello All,
Iam sure many people involved herein would have looked at organising the folders within KM in one way or the other.
Can we all share our best practises and lessons learnt in this thread.
This could be of great interest to many as there might be some people who may have given it a out of the box thought and looked at it differently.
I look forward for your responses on this
Regards and long live SDN
Ajey

Hi ,
I am adding a point here.
A Folder Hierarchy in KM is used for two purposes. The first purpose is to organize the physical storage of documents. Folders and subfolders are created in the appropriate repository for the application. Physical folder hierarchies should be created for the easy of maintenance for the content.
Th KM folders are having unique features like Copy, Move, Rename, Create Link, Clip board, Delete, we can apply different services to KM folders based on your Requirement.
We can use different kind of layout sets when we diplay folders in an iVIew.
The second purpose for a folder hierarchy is for developing taxonomies. Simply, taxonomies are alternate, logical navigation to folders which contain links to the physical content.

Folder Hierarchy Templates

Hi.
I created for opportunity Folder Hierarchy Template. The folder template works OK on SAP GUI, but on WEB UI is not shown.
Does anyone know if there is something additional to be made for WEB UI?
And another general question. How execly works the folder logic in WEB UI, because I can't create manually folder on basic web part of Opportunity?

Could you please share the note number. Thank you.

Export: Maintain Folder Hierarchy -

it would be very useful if lightroom could export a group of images maintaining the existing folder hierarchy, instead of dumping them all into one folder -
as in, i import my images into lightroom, sort the images into subfolders, put them through develop (or not), then when choosing export i have an option to create a new folder containing the exported images arranged in the same folder structure as in lightroom
(then i upload these images to a php gallery system that creates thumbs, gallery page, etc)
it would be great if i didn't have to re-organize the exported images after exporting...

Going with Jeff's one feature, don't mix it rule:
The ability to export our collection and folder hierarchy would be a very useful tool. It would allows users to create final output copies of our images in what their normal relational folder location. A bank of collections that contain the output from a job may contain numerous collections of virtual copies of Colour/B&W/Sepia/bordered images to go for proofing to clients. The client could peruse these by type and make decisions based on these. It is especially useful in the case of burning out our exports to create a usable hierarchy on the disk. Otherwise Lightroom can only be used to export all images to one folder, or used to export individual collections, that must then be hand sorted into our hierarchy and burned from an external application. As Lightroom is designed to speed our workflow, this would be a very useful addition to the toolset.

2 issues - Invalid Serial Number issue & Lightroom 5 Trial vs full version folder hierarchy question

Hello
not sure if I should split these two questions...
1 - Invalid Serial Number issue
I'm helping out a friend with their large photo collection and they bought Lightroom 5 and received the serial number but when we add this to Lightroom it states that it's invalid - I tried leaving it until the following week (I visit them weekly) and it still refusing the number - when I went into their Adobe account and took a look at downloads the option to download the full version is greyed out (or an x - I'm not sat on their computer right now so can't double check) but it wouldn't allow me to do anything so we just had the trial version.
anyone know what the issue is - shall I get them to contact Adobe to get them to take a look - I also had issues trying to find a customer support email address lol. (I seem to faffing with lots of websites/software/companies this week so getting a little frazzled!)
2 - Lightroom 5 Trial vs full version folder hierarchy question
This question is linked to the above i- I am wondering if the folders in Lightroom are different in the trial version vs the fully paid version.
I had set up some greeting card templates and contact sheet layouts for my friend and tried to transfer them to her computer but whilst, LR 'sees' the folders it just doesn't acknowledge the templates - I tried it several ways but I've not had that issue before so will that sort itself when I get the serial number fixed?
Thank you for any help or suggestions - hope you all have a good weekend :-)
Lenny

Hi Lenny, the two questions may be related but the trial is actually the same as the full version. I would suggest getting the serial number issue sorted out first. There have been known issues where a paid for product still shows up as a trial.There is not a lot the community can do. You need to contact Adobe directly using the link below. Use the dropdown menu for boxes (1) & (2) to scroll down the list and choose:
1. Adobe Photoshop Lightroom
2. Serial number issues or activating my product
3. Click on the blue button: Still need help? Contact us – then click the button marked “chat now”
It’s usually possible to start a live chat, if an Adobe agent is free, and often to get the problem fixed right away.

"Incomplete Folder" contains Library folder

Hi everyone, hope you can give me a hand with this long standing error with my MacBook Pro?
My Mac (MBP 2GHz Intel Core Duo, 2GB RAM, 100GB HD (partition 60GB OSX 30GB Windows)) has been cleaned up a few times and I no longer store music, photo, video or docs (some) on my startup disk.
I can probably understand about 15GB being taken up but I cannot work out where the other 30GB+ have gone. I am using Disk Inventory X but it is very muddled and all over the place not giving me a clear indication. I have deleted Garageband and all loops but still loads taken up.
In my Home Folder (user) I have an Incomplete folder which I have never paid too much attention to. I'm currently trying to clear some space so I can install CS4 and leave CS3 just incase I have any errors. But in this 'Incomplete' folder I have a Library folder!!! I am pretty sure it cannot be doing anything and I still have a HD and User Library folder.
So my questions are.......
If this Incomplete folder contains a Library (1.5GB) is that Library doing anything or can I delete it?
What methods are out there for me to troubleshoot where the space is being taken up?
On a standard machine how much space should system/library files take up?
What is safe to delete and won't leave my mac useless?
I look forward to any responses thank you.
Rivers
p.s. Background info: couple of years ago my mac went crazy and I think it might of had something to do with a friend accidentally moving my library into that incomplete folder when playing with my Wacom. But I do not know this for certain and live in fear of deleting any library folder.

Hi Allan, thanks for speedy response!
I have used Limewire in the past, but not so much anymore (other means and waste of time in my opinion) so will probably delete it. I noticed as well that most Google hits link back to Limewire but wanted to check that it is an application directory and nothing to do with OSX?!?
I will try your solution and I think I have worked out the reason. Like I said at the end of the post my friend may have accidently moved the library into this Limewire incomplete folder which screwed up my permissions so I reinstalled MacOSX and recovered the data on the Hard Drive. So have a functioning mac with all the right data and a spare Library folder!
Now just need to work out where the rest of my space is being taken up??
Thanks for the reply!

Import preserving folder hierarchy

Hi all,
I have many (>100) folders (within folders) of photos on a harddisk which I would like to import into LR while preserving the folder hierarchy structure. Is there a way to import all folders at the same time while preserving the hierarchy or is the only way to import each and every folder one after the other.
Thanks, Bob

Hi Bob,
Just put 'em where you want 'em to be (if they're not already), then if you don't already have the root folder in Lightroom - import one photo from the top-level - that way you get the root folder created in Lightroom - even if its a fake photo just to get things going.
Then just do a folder-sync on the root - it'll get all of 'em in place. (hint: Right/Ctrl-click the root folder, then select 'Synchronize Folder' - I recommend not showing the import dialog box or you may be there all day...)
