Is it possible to import multiple shoots to multiple folders

Hi,
I have seen similar questions here on the forum but either they are not what I'm looking for, or older versions of LR.
What I need is to import from one folder / memory card and mark some of the photos with different shoot names or headline. This name should then be used as a final folder name.
My current structure:
2012
   - 06_Cyprus
   - 07_Vacation in Denmark
   - 07_Trip to Oslo
I have 20.000 photos in this structure already imported by Bibble and before that Downloader Pro. I would like to do everything in one program, not have to use Downloader Pro every time I need to structure my photos.
The only way I have seen to do this in Lightroom 4 is to do multiple imports and that gets annoying! This is the biggest factor for me if I will continue with Bibble / Corel Aftershot or go for Lightroom.
Lightroom version: 4.1 [829322]

IMO this will largely depend on the groupings within the images you are importing - and on what pattern of folders you want them to go into.
One idea: If images from the same card have been taken on different days, LR can separate the imports automatically "by date". LR will make new subfolders to an automatic naming scheme that you specify, but it is a simple matter to go back immediately afterward, and rename these as desired within LR's Folders panel. LR can be told to put these into the suitable "year" higher level folder (month too, if desired) so an import preset which implements this, can continue to be used longterm.
Another idea: it is possible with many cameras, to start a fresh folder on the camera card on demand. This can highlght a natural break (for example, between shooting one occasion and a different occasion later on the same day). LR normally is expected to ignore folders within the camera card but can instead be set to organise its import "by original folder". It will then sort the imported images into correspondingly separate subfolders. Again, these can be renamed afterward.

  • Is it possible to import data into Captivate 5?

    Is it possible to import data back into a Captivate 5 lesson, that was  stored to a server or database from earlier in the Captivate 5 lesson?   We would like to redisplay data from one screen to another.  Some if it  is quiz results, some just responses to questions we ask the user and we  sould like to show it again for discussion on the next screen or in an  entirely separate lesson.  Thanks.

    You can easily store data in user variables that will persist for the duration of the user's browser session for a given Captivate lesson.  But if you want to have the same data persist over multiple browser sessions you need to write this data to cookies on the users PC or else write it to a database somewhere online and pull it back from there in later modules.
    The first option using variables is quite easy to do with Advanced Actions.
    The second option using an external database is much more difficult and would require ActionScript programming skills as well as database programming skills for the specific database technology you use and the scripting technologies used to write and retrieve data from it.  If you don't have these skillsets yourself, you're going to need to put together a project with a budget to hire the designers and developers required to pull it off.

  • Is it possible to import songs from your ipod to itunes?

    Somehow, my itunes got screwed up on my pc. So, I am missing about 100 songs. The songs are all on my ipod because I haven't synced them in a while. Is it possible to import the songs from my ipod into itunes? If so, how do I do it?
    To make matters more complicated, my itunes now says that the ipod is synced to a different itunes, so if I sync them up, the songs on the ipod will be replaced by the songs on itunes (causing me to lose those 100 songs). Can anyone please help me?

    If you're using iTunes 7, you can copy music that you purchased from the iTunes Store back to iTunes directly. You will have to prevent automatic synchronization. While connecting the iPod to the computer, hold down the Shift and Ctrl keys in Windows. This should stop the iPod from auto synching with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 3 and 25 seconds depending on your computer.
    If you're not using iTunes 7 or want to copy other tracks, the easiest way will be to search VersionTracker for "iPod". You'll find a number of utilities that can transfer your tracks and your playlists from your iPod back to your PC.
    It's also possible to do this manually, but the procedure is rather involved. If you're interested, though, see this thread:
    MacMuse: Computer crashed
    Forum Tip: Since you're new here, you've probably not discovered the Search feature available on every Discussions page, but next time, it might save you time (and everyone else from having to answer the same question multiple times) if you search a couple of ways for a topic, both in the relevant forums, in the User Tips Library and in the Apple Knowledge Base before you post a question.

  • How to import a album with multiple artists in the one album?

    How do I import a album with multiple artists as the one album.  Everytime I try to do this it does not collate it into one album, the other artists come up seperatley, also if this is possible can you set so that it works automatically everytime?
    Hope someone can help.
    Cheers,

    Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

  • Anybody got a better work flow for backing up multiple shoot day projects?

    Many of my projects are shot over multiple days. I import media at the end of each day and back up the event to another drive before deleting media from cameras/cards. So on day 2 I have one of three work flows for updating my back-ups.
    1. If I'm feeling lucky. I delete the previous back-up project from the back-up drive. And then make a new copy of the original event and add the date to the title after the word copy.
    2. I make a new copy of the event to the backup drive and date it. When it's done copying and been verified I delete the back-up event from the same back-up drive.
    3. I've just started copying new clips from the original media folder in the original event to the back-up project. It's more work keeping track of all the newly added media files and there is more chance of making an ommision.
    Anybody got a better work flow for backing up multiple shoot day projects?

    What you need:
    You will need two identical external drives and a copy of Carbon Copy Cloner. CCC is free. The drives could be USB 2 if all you are doing is backing up. If you plan on editing with the drive(s), you'll want firewire. Each needs to be large enough to contain the raw card contents for the duration of your gig.
    The Process:
    At the end of the first day's recording, connect the two drives to your computer (if firewire, daisy chain them / if USB, you'll need two USB 2.0 ports)
    On the first hard drive (Drive 1) create a folder - call it BigDealLecture
    Inside of BigDealLecture, create a folder and use the nameing convention  "BDL_Date_card number for that day" - so if you used 2 cards today, you should create BDL_2012-02-15_01 and BDL_2012-02-15_02
    Attach your card reader or camera to the system.
    Lock the cards so they can not be erased
    Insert Card 1 into the reader
    Select ALL contents of the card and copy them to the folder you created for the first card for today
    When it is complete, eject the card, insert card 2, copy its contents to the folder for card 2
    eject the card
    Launch CCC and do a clone of Drive 1 to Drive 2. You can set it to do a complete block by block clone or an incremental backup. Either will work.
    When finished cloning, test a random sample of the clips on both drives to make sure they work.
    When satisfied the copies work, put Drive 2 in the hotel safe.
    Put the Drive 1 in a place where you can grab it if there is an emergency in the night and erase the cards to get ready for the next day.
    Take Drive 1 with you to the lecture site the next day.
    Rinse and repeat daily.
    When the conference is over, send one of the drives via FedEx or some other same day service to your office. Pack the second drive in your bags for the trip home.
    A note: If you have enough downtime durning the conference between obligations, you can do the transfer from the cards to Drive 1 on site and do the clone when you get back to your room. Don't unlock and erase the cards until you are satisfied the copy/clone process was without incident.
    Have fun.

  • Hi at the moment my ipod is on manual sync mode. Is there any way of changing this to auto-sync without losing the music on my ipod or library? Possibly more importantly is there a way I can transfer the ratings from my ipod onto my i-tunes?

    This is so I can delete music from my ipod knowing its rated on my i-tunes so I can then see later if I want to re-add it based on its rating
    Thanks

  • Is it possible to view the content of multiple lists(located in multiple webs) in one ListViewWebpart? And how can I filter a multivalue column?

    Is it possible to view the content of multiple lists, that are located in different webs as well, in just one ListViewWebpart? Could I maybe change the query programmatically so that it get's the content this way?
    I know that I could use the Content Query Webpart instead - actually I have been using that so far, but the problem is, that it brings no standard Sharepoint functionality for lists with it... I had to write the xsl style sheet, there are no dynamic filters
    that the user could set, there are no default list operations the user could use.
    The ListViewWepart has all of these, but it only shows the content of one list...
    And my second problem:
    One column can contain multiple values (like a column that contains multiple users or user groups that are related to one entry). I can filter every other column with the standard filters, but not the column with multiple values in it. Is it possible to
    activate that or maybe add this feature programmatically?

    You can fetch data from multiple lists in ListViewWebpart, this can be possible through Content Query web part or Custom Web Part using visual studio but in that case you can not get the standard SharePoint funcationality for list (which is available in
    ListViewWebparts).
    No OOB filter available for multi-choice column, you also have to go with custom solution to achieve this.

  • Captivate 5.5 Is it possible to import PPT slides in Notes Page view?

    Hello experts,
    This may seem like an odd question. I'd like to display all the notes in the page of a PowerPoint deck that provides samples of code and explaintions of what the code is doing. It is too much information for the slide, which just has discussion point bullets, and I think it is too much for the closed caption pane. It this possible to import PPT slides in Notes Page view?
    Thank you so much in advance for any hints, tips, and replies.
    Kindest regards,
    P

    I found an alternative but circuitous way of achieving the desired result. In PowerPoint I opened, then I printed the PPT presentationto a PDF selecting the Notes Page option instead of Full Slide. By then using a PDF converter to convert it back to PPT I was able to insert the  PPT as is. In other words it "looks" just like the PPT Notes Page view, which is exactly what I wanted. The code snippet and notes were intact.

  • Is it possible to create a form with multiple form fields on a single line?

    Is it possible to create a form with multiple form fields on a single line?  I can't find anything in the documentation or a template that does this.
    I am trying to create a "documents received" checklist with a check box on the left margin, a date-received field to the right of the check box and and a description of the document (Formatted Text) on the far right.
    In the past I have entered the Fixed Text with a word processor, published it to a PDF file, then added the check box and date fields with the Acrobat Forms editor.  I would prefer to use FormsCentral if it is possible.

    We now support multiple fields on one line. This post provides a brief overview.
    Give it a try and send us your feedback.
    Sorry it took so long.

  • Is it possible to import the iPhone from the US to the UK?

    Hey,
    Is it possible to import an iPhone 3GS from the US to the UK, and use it on the O2 network? I don't want to waste my money first!
    Thanks a lot.

    A US phone that is carrier locked to AT&T could not be legally unlocked in the UK. The other issue is the iPhone warranties are locked to the country the phone was purchased in, so if you were able to eventually use it, if you had a problem you would have to get the phone back to the US for service. Kind of a Catch 22 there.

  • Is it possible to use certutil to export multiple certificates from a local client machine store, to a .p7b file?

    Is it possible to use certutil to export multiple certificates from a local client machine store, to a .p7b file?
    Scenario: We have a few legacy certificates based on some legacy templates (2012 R2). Some belong to an old SubCA (2008 R2).
    I’ve can manually export them using certmgr mmc on the local machine to a single .p7b e.g.
    cert_backupNEW.p7b. But this is not a practical solution for me and I want to achieve this remotely via certutil or some other util that comes with Windows 7 machines.
    I’ve already worked out how to run a certutil command to add the certs back into the store e.g.
    certutil.exe -addstore -f my cert_backupNEW.p7b
    Is there a way to export multiple certs to a single backup cert, or is what I’m trying to do not possible with multiple certs?
    TC

    Something like this:
    $store = New-Object Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Store "my","localmachine"
    $store.Open("ReadOnly")
    Set-Content -Path exportedcerts.pfx -Value $store.Certificates.Export("pfx","password")
    $store.Close()
    note that this command will fail, if there are certificates with non-exportable keys. You cannot export certificates with non-exportable keys.

  • Is it possible to import data into a Reader Extended PDF created in Livecycle?

    Hi there,
    I make a lot of Reader Extended forms for my company. When I issue form updates, sometimes staff have to re-copy or re-type records into forms with repeating subforms.  I'd like to be able to jumpstart their process by importing from an old, filled-out form, into my new updated form.
    I've found I can do this by making an XML data file of the data from the old form, but I can't import into an Extended from using Adobe Reader. Most of our staff don't have Acrobat, so they aren't able to save data into non-extended forms.
    Is this clear, what I'm asking? Import XML data into Reader Extended form.
    Thanks for any help you can give,
    Laura

    Hi,
    It's indeed possible to import data in a reader enabled form with Reader.
