Is there an easy way to use MOVE when importing from card reader?

In Lightroom 1, I would hit File -> Import From Disk which would allow me to move photos from my card reader to the hard drive.
In Lightroom 3, the only option is the normal import dialog and in order to get the "Move" option I have to select "other source" and then scroll down the list to select the card reader in order to get the "Move" option.  It's a pain to do it every time.  (not to mention my wife will never do it and just use "copy").
So my question is, "Is there a way to get the Move option to be available by default on my card reader?"
It's been my workflow since 2004 to have the images deleted directly after I copy them off the memory card using Adobe software (Photoshop Album 2.0, Photoshop Elements 4, Lightroom 1.0).  I'm really hoping there is an easy way to accomplish this in Lightroom 3. Otherwise I will be pretty disappointed.

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}

The reason I like the move command so much is that I know when photos are on my memory cards that the are not on my computer.
LR defaults to not importing suspected duplicates.  so if there are still files on the card, they will be grayed out. That's how you can know.

What do you all use in your work flow to delete the pictures left on your memory cards after they are copied?
I have a shell file that removes the files from the card and ejects the disk.  I keep it in my dock for easy access.
Others will tell yiou, though, to format in camera. Which is a good idea! I just like to keep my cards empty and ready.

    I am doing a web-marketing and I want to use my contacts in my contact list. Is there an easy way to download my contacts into an excel list format?

    Using Automator, you can export some of the infoemation to a tab delimited file which Excel can open.

    You can drag a selection of contacts into Numbers and it will grab a little of the Info, putting it in columns.

  • HT2534 there is no way to use app store without credit card details ?!

    I then clicked on 'create Apple id' on the popup :
    Agreed to the terms, filled in my details, and got 'none' as a payments option :

  • Is there an easy way of creating a distribution list from an email with multiple addresses? Those addresses are not in your contacts already, and don't need to be.

    I want to be able to take all the email addresses someone else has used to distribute an email and create the same distribution list for myself for future use.  I don't want to add all those people to anywhere in my contacts list.  I just want them to be in my "new distribution list", like "soccer families", etc.  I tried to copy and paste, but didn't get anywhere. Maybe I was close, or maybe it isn't possible.  Thoughts?

    You don't. When the season is over, delete them.
    But, the text clipping should work.
    The next IOS should have a feature "create mailing list from distribution list".  A fast and simple way to retain a distribution list from an email you received.  People get copied all the time using distribution lists they may want to reuse easily, like school, sports or work groups.  Oh well.
    How is that any different from adding them to Contacts? Here's the feedback page: http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    There is a set of Mail Scripts that has a function to Add Addresses from an email to any group. But, it doesn't work with Mountain Lion.

  • Is there an easy way to run an Ajax function from input type=file to test the file name in DB?

    I've had the <input type="file">  ... <cffile ...> thing going for a few years now. 
    There is a database where the uploaded file names are stored once the files are uploaded to the server.  It sees things in terms of problems and stores uploaded file name accordingly with the ProbID prepended onto the file name; e.g., MyPicture.jpg would end up in the designated directory and databawe as P416_MyPicture.jpg.  This allows user to store pictures with the same name in different problems without a conflict.  There has been an issue with certain characters (e.g., spaces, +, #, etc.) causing problems when they are in file names so we have come up with a way using the <cffile ... rename> to replace these chars with _.  This means that MyPic+.jpg would end up being P416_MyPic_.jpg. 
         This is where the problem appears.  If someone were to upload MyPic+.jpg after someone else uploaded MyPic_.jpg in the same problem, then the + file would overwrite the _ file before the system knew they had a problem.  And there is now way to restore the original file without going to the system backup and doing so – which is a whole other story … especially, if the person doesn’t tell anyone.
         The logical solution would be to be able to test the new final file name (the name after making the substitutions mentioned above) against the existing files in the database before you went from the page where the <input type=file> control to the associated _action.cfm page where the <cffile> object is located.  Given that this seems to be the province of Ajax, this would seem like a natural use of the really interesting technology.  I have can determine the file name from the onChange action on the <input type=File> so that this would be the place for Ajax to come to the rescue by looking up the final file name and then letting the user know whether the resultant name is a unique within the database or not.  If so, I'll just enable the Add button which sets right next to the <input > control and let them upload it.  If not, I'll put up an error message telling them that this file already exists in the system.
         This would be the perfect solution.  It would let me do some Ajax stuff like I've wanted to do for the past year, but never have had the time to do because this is the project that won't go away.  This is, in fact, the last thing of any consequence that remains to do on this 2-1/2 year nightmare – be careful what you wish for.  If I can get this done this week, then maybe I can finally take a weekend off … maybe it will finally come to an end.
         Which finally leads to my question:  I'm looking for some tips on how to get this thing going since I can barely spell Ajax.  I've got a book and looked at some stuff online about CF and Ajax, but a good example or two or three would be worth a day's worth of poking around on the web and in my books.
         Thanks in advance for any suggestions, ideas, help, whatever.

    Adam,
         Thank you for your suggestion, but, after spending the night working with Ben Forta's CF8, vol 2, Chap 34, working with <cfajaxproxy>, I was able to do exactly what I wanted and it appears, after some testing, to work exactly as I had envisoned it should. 
         I am now calling a JavaScript function (testFileName) from the onChage event on the <input type="file"> or Browse button, which calls my proxy.cfc that contains the server side of the equation.  This funciton testFileName (I've run out of cleaver function/file names).  The query contained therein hits the database to see if the passed in parameters can pull up an existing file.  If they do, the particulars (file name, data attahced, etc.) are returned to the JavaScipt procedure that puts up the error notice.  The user can then chose to either overwrite the file or quit.  Quiting leaves the your on the Attachment PopUp where he/she started with nothing being uploaded. 
         Thanks again for your suggestion.  I appreciate your taking the time to do so.

  • HT201328 Is there an easy way to release my IPhone 3 from the "recovery" mode.

    Looking for an easy way to unlock this phone.  I have had apple products for about 5 years and have never had this issue.

    Please define "unlock". If it's in recovery mode, it needs to be restored.
    If it is carrier locked and you are trying to get it unlocked so you can use it with a different carrier, ONLY the carrier it is locked to can legally authorize that.

  • Is there an easy way inside PS CS4 to go from psd format to jpg?

    I'm working within PS CS4 on a psd file.  Any easy way within PS to transform that file into jpg format? Thanks for your interest! SNL

    OK, if jpg is not listed in the file type drop down box, then odds are you are in a mode that jpg does not support. Jpg is 8-bit
    In newer versions of photoshop this has been partially fixed as photoshop will convert a 16 bit image to 8 bit for you. But does not alter a 32 bit image, as it does not know how you want the image to be displayed.
    You can see what mode photoshop is in by looking at the tab at the top of the document window.

  • Slow movie when imported from HDR HC3 to iMovie

    When I import from my Sony camera to iMovie I get a message 'Downloading at 1/8th speed'. When I then play back the movie through iMovie the sound and video play slowly....like a 45rpm record played at 33rpm...for those who remember what records are! Could it be my processor speed? I run a PowerBook G4.
    Thanks.

    Hi Tumnus,
    Welcome to the Apple Forums.
    Yes it could very likely be your processor speed or how much RAM you have. The baseline for HD importing, editing and exporting is 1GH and 512MB RAM. Also there are other factors involved like is the camera fully supported in iMovie (altho I have a Sony HDR-HC1E and it imports fine).
    It might be time to update to a new Mac with a faster processor and some more RAM (1GB is recommended)
    Hope this helps.

  • Any way to rename files when importing from camera with iPhoto?

    I have a naming scheme that I've used when importing photos from my camera (e.g. 2008-09-12-Event ). I can't create a custom folder (in Pictures but outside iPhoto Library) or rename things when importing with iPhoto - is that right? I can't find any advanced options to import ...
    If I want this (and don't want to use Adobe Bridge CS3), do I have to get Aperture?
    Thanks -
    Alexa
    p.s. I haven't really figured out WHERE my photos go with iPhoto? I've been editing in Photoshop Elements 6 but then have to "Save As" to replace the file - saving it doesn't do it (I think that sends it to the iPhoto library somewhere?) Eek...

    Alexa:
    You might consider this workflow:
    1 - using either Image Capture or a card reader upload the images to a folder on the desktop.
    2 - name the folder with a brief description of the shoot. I use a short date and description: 08/01/08-Dinner at Toad Hall
    3 - use a file renaming application like Resize! to batch rename the files to your specification. I use the international date (for the capture date) and a brief description: 2008-08-01-Dinner at TH-001.jpg.
    This allows for good chronological searching and sorting as well as text searching on the description. It also avoids duplicate file name issues in the future. Granted a few extra steps up front but saves me a lot of time later on.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • Keep getting "required file in use" error when importing from a disc

    Installed 12.0.1 this weekend and now cannot import songs from a disc (have tried on several different discs). I keep getting the error message that "Error occurred while converting the file. The required file is in use). Have rebooted several times with no improvement.  There doesn't seem to be any problem playing anything off my existing library, but I also get failure messages when purchasing from Amazon. Anyone have ideas?

    Any Suggestions?

  • Using Bars and Tone When Importing From Cards?

    I edited video for decades, and for years on an Avid, and quit before we started recording onto cards and entirely digital material. I'm used to importing, let's say Digibeta tape, and using the color bars and tone to set-up the picture and audio using the bars and tone the cameraman recorded before shooting. I've been asked to work on some projects shot on cards, not analog or digital tape, and many video editors stare at me when I mention setting up using bars and tone as if that is not necessary any more.
    Every camera is going to lay down video with slightly different color and exposure characteristics and I would imagine that footage would need to be adjusted using color bars. Otherwise, wouldn't the colors and exposure from different cameras be inconsistent when cut together?
    I understand that waveform monitors are still used to make sure shots are "broadcast legal" if the show is going to be broadcast, but are the waveform monitor and vectorscope not used when importing footage any more? I know that color hue is used by shifting the phase, which doesn't exist on digital, but there still must be a need to tweak the color coming from different cards and cameras. Please help me out on this...
    Thanks, from an old analog hacker
    Greg

    I'm the OP and I'd like to get back to my original inquiry, and thank you all for reminding me that I'm not alone in trying getting blank stares when I ask for bars and tone at the top of the footage. But I'd really like to know how one sets up FCP to run the footage from the digital tape or chip and tweak the video signal before importing, so that all the footage I capture comes in with the video properly set.
    For example, today I shot with some fellows rather new to video, but they put down bars and tone. When we went to import the footage (some from tape, some from chip) we couldn't figure out how to run the incoming signal through FCP, see it on the waveform and vectorscope, and access the controls to tweak the exposure and color BEFORE importing a single frame. Is that possible in FCP, would you please tell me how to do it?
    We could tweak footage after we imported it into FCP, but when we wanted to tweak it before importing, when we tried to capture we got a dialog box that basically said "Capture" or "Cancel". Is there a Preference or setting to choose so that we can do what I want prior to importing, or am I stuck tweaking each shot after I've imported all the footage?
    Thanks,
    Greg

  • Is there an easy way to use Dreamweaver?

    I started my website 7 years ago in FrontPage and just purchased Dreamweaver thinking; in today's technological world aimed at 12 year olds, this has got to be easier than FrontPage or at least I'd have a head start since I created and have maintained my own 10-page website.   Wow, was I ever wrong, Dreamweaver is strictly for people with computer degrees and only speak html.   I'm told I have to html every dot, space, sentencing space, centering, etc.  I paid $699 for the program, paid $250 to a web designer to just get my website into DW then teach me how to maintain it (got nothing), found another web designer, paid a $100 deposit, she "redesigned" my home page, told her that wasn't what I wanted (after explaining what I did want), never heard from her again.  Just talked with a recent computer designer graduate, he wants $450 to get my website into DW and put in new navigation buttons.    I know html, here's the site I created with NO training, just studying and learning FrontPage: www.nilesbottlestoppers.com      
    Some one, PLEASE, give me some words of encouragement because, right now I'm crying (literally).
    Thanks,
    Ruth

    DW is pro-level software aimed at professional web designers/developers who are comfortable working with HTML, CSS and JavaScript code.  It's a powerful tool and there isn't much you can't build in DW providing you have the necessary skills to use it.
    On the other hand, Adobe Muse is consumer level software aimed at designers, hobbyists and non-coders.  The price you pay for all that ease of use, however, is limited features and code that needs to be maintained in MU.   It might be all you need for now.  Then again, if you want to add advanced features to your site later, you may be forced to switch away from MU which might be a worse place than you are right now.   I don't know.
    Suffice it to say, a lot has changed in web standards and technology since FP was retired in 2007.  Designs & layouts must cater to an ever growing list of new web devices ranging from smartphones and tablets to desktops and flat screen TV screens.  
    I don't know what your budget is.  But for a small business web site, you really should contract with an experienced web developer (get references) who can re-build your site within a prescribed time frame to include a simple CMS (content management system) which you can use to edit the site yourself. 
    DW won't be much help to you unless you learn to work with code.   Code is not hard to learn.  No computer or science degrees required.  Just a few focussed hours and a little effort on your part will get you started on the path to success.

  • Is there an easy way to use the VMware Studios Open Source download?

    I noticed there was a relatively current open source download package for VMware Studio, so I downloaded it, hoping there were instructions on applying the new software to the appliance.  The download was a tar.gz file, which appears to include source code for those OSS packages.  
    So, I am concluding that my hope that this was an update to VMware Studio was unfounded.  
    Is there any news, at all, about plans to update VMware Studio?  It is obvious that a VMware-internal tool exists as they use it to create their own appliances which appear to have fixed some issues, such as IE10 access.  
    Thanks Dan

    You do not need to invoke Finder to do this. Create a new empty Automator workflow and use the "Run Shell Script" option. Paste in the following....
    mv ~/Downloads/* ~/.Trash
    You can then save the workflow as an application, attach it as a Finder action or add it to the scripts menu, whichever you like better.
    If you would like to bypass the Trash and just completely delete the Downloads folder contents immediately, then paste in this command:
    rm -rf ~/Downloads/*
