Legacy folder structure and moving "existing" photos to LR

I have always used folders to store my photos. The structure I have used is Year>Month and then dump those photos into the month they were taken. Along the way I have some photos I have named vs. the standard Nikon naming convention or I have named a folder inside of the year (i.e. 2012>Florida Trip instead of putting those in the July folder for example. I now want to make a transition to using LR for cataloging and tagging with keywords. Additionally, moving forward I would use the import feature directly from the memory card to LR.
My question is this: I see many sites that recommned having a standard file structure before moving to LR and I am curious should I rename these exiting folders to something else and/or re-organize them before importing the existing photos to LR? Or should I leave them alone, add keywords to all of them for searching capabilities, and any new photos imported moving forward would have a new structure or naming convention that you might suggest?
Hopefully that makes sense.

Adobe uses the term "catalog" ambiguously -- sometimes it means just the database containing links to your photos and their metadata, and sometimes it means that database plus all your photos.
The File > Catalog > Move command moves just the database, not your photos (unless your photos happen to be stored in the catalog folder). To move your photos to the new drive, see this FAQ:

SAP Netweaver Portal - Folder structure and report publishing strategy

Hi gurus,
I'm working on a project in which we are publishing BW reports in SAP Netweaver Portal (prior to this, we were using SAP Bex Browser) organizing it by Department (workset, 2nd lvl of navigation), Business Processes (workset, 3rd lvl of navigation) and "iview types" (transactions, queries, dashboards and so on). On 1st level we have a workset simply called "Reports".
For each PFCG role we have on BW (ABAP Server), we created a portal role and defined which of the higher navigation tiers is visible to users (delta-linking the top level navigation worksets to the portal role and setting visible accordingly) and then we assigned Portal roles to the appropriated Group (PFCG role) so all users that have access to certain PFCG role can have access to the corresponding Portal role.
For example:
In BW (ABAP) we have a PFCG Role: Sales PMR Analysis - Administrator, which grants access to Sales Infoproviders, queries and data for PMR analysis. The user that have access to it, should be able to see:
|Reports|
|Sales Administration|
v PMR Analysis
> Web Queries
> Transactions
> Dashboards
> Workbooks
In Portal we create a workset that has: "Reports" and under it, all Departments (Sales Administration, Financial, Services, Human Resources and so on) set as "not visible". We create a Portal role called PMR Analysis and add the Report/Departments workset, set Sales Administration as visible and add worksets/folders named PMR Analysis, Web queries, Transactions, etc, and all the corresponding iviews under it.
If we assign this new Portal role to the Group of the corresponding PFCG role, the user will see exactly as the example from above.
Pros: The users have a clean view of the reports he/she has access.
Cons: The users doesn't have a clear view of what is available in BW so he can request access. There might be some useful report lost in on of the hundreds of BW roles that he doesn't know it exist.
One of the options would be to grant visibility to ALL departments, business processes and iviews in Portal and let PFCG security roles control user access, but that might be confusing to have an overwhelming amount of links, making it hard to find what the user needs, specially during first access. Not to mention possible security breaches.
So, I'd like to know how other consultants are defining this kind of folder structure and report publishing strategy in Portal. Ideally we would like to be able to have:
- Visibility of all existant reports even those that the user does not have acess (so he can learn that it exist and request access)
- Clean view of reports, segmented by department and business processes.
- Possibility to search for reports, even for those that the user does not have access.
I'd appreciate if you guys can share your experience on this.
Thanks in advance.

This is not a refutation: your BW developers/consultants should be able to write reports, which points you in case of insufficent backend rights. EP is not designed to be familiar with ABAP security concept and cant take any influence at it.

Yes, bad idea.
- Visibility of all existant reports even those that the user does not have acess (so he can learn that it exist and request access)
As you already wrote on your own, this would be not good
- Clean view of reports, segmented by department and business processes.
- Possibility to search for reports, even for those that the user does not have access.
This is not covered by SAP, if you wanna provide that, develop it on your own.

I wanted to transfer 4000 photos from my PC to my IPOD and IPAD, I did this but I thought the images would be still in their folders and not in an individual format, how do I retain the folder structure and transfer?

I transferred my photos from my PC to my IPOD and IPAD, c. 4000. I thought they would be transferred in the existing folders, all I got was 4000 individual photos, how do I retain the folder structure?

If you are syncing a number of folders from your computer then each folder should get it's own album on the iPad (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236) - I assume that you've touched the 'Albums' button at the top of the Photos app so as to view them by album, and not just the Photos 'button'.
You could try closing the Photos app completely and then re-opening it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Photos 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Photos app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
Another option is to try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Cloning a folder structure and metadata

Hi,
A client needs a complex hierarchical folder structure to store documents against projects in Webcenter Content 11.1.1.8. There will be many new projects being created on an ongoing basis so I created a template for copying. Project level metadata is entered against the top level folder and propagated but each of the child levels needs to have one of the fields set to a unique metadata value - essentially the type of documents in that folder (the folder name will not work).
I have two problems:-
1) When I copy the template folder, the metadata is not copied so it is necessary to re-enter the values for all the lower levels - since there are about 50 they obviously don't want to do that
2) The users must not be able to change the folder structure in any way but they must be able to create a new one from a template by copying it. (the admin people will not be doing it) I haven't been able to work out a security group model that gives create access but prevents new folders being create or existing ones being moved.
I think this will require some automation initiated from inside WCC and ideally could be initiated from the application that manages project creation.
Can anyone please advise on the best way to do this, does it have to be RIDC or is there something simpler?
Thanks,
M

I am not suggesting anything yet, except taking a look on the standard functionality (folders migration), which might be close to your needs, but still too far (it will definitely not prevent users from changing the folder's structure).
RIDC is a way to call WCC's services from a Remote Client (R and C from RIDC). If you decide for a customization, you can do (most likely) everything server-side, so you will be calling the same services, but from a custom component. In this case I'd recommend you to go through the tutorial - it goes from a simple helloworld program to more complex tasks (unfortunately, no folders), but it should educate you how to find information you need to do other components.

XP only sees my home folder structure and printers.

I need to move files from XP to a second drive on my G5 tower, but I cannot seem to make it accessible to the XP machine. The second drive is my backup drive and has a folder called archive that has multiple levels of files within it.
Can I open an entire drive up so XP can Read/Write to it?
When Leopard is released, I will get a MacPro and not need the XP box any more but I need to start working on moving needed files off of the XP Box.
Thanks

Hi. You can share a drive with Sharepoints

IPod folder structure and content doesn't match iTunes Library structure

My iTunes Library has the following folders:
Music
Podcasts
Audiobooks
As expected, the Podcasts folder contains podcasts I have subscribed to, and the Audiobooks folder contains Audiobooks I purchased. So far, so good.
However, in addition to CDs I imported, the Music folder also contains files originating from manual audio recordings I made via TotalRecorder.
This is confusing enough, but in the iPod the situation is even more confusing, i.e. everything comes under Music, which has the following subfolders (among others): Albums, Songs, Podcasts, Audiobooks.
The Podcasts and Audiobooks folders seem OK, but the Albums folder seems to contain not only the CDs, but also all the podcasts.
And the only place I can find my manual recordings is under Songs.
Any suggestions for bringing some order into this apparent chaos?
Ideally I would like to be able to create a new folder called, say, Recordings, in my iTunes Library, and I would like my top level folders in my iTunes Library to match those on the iPod.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions/comments.

Which model of iPod do you have? I have a 160GB Classic (this forum) which _does not_ show Podcasts under the Music folder, and apparently does not have an option to do so. However, I also have a 5th generation 30GB video iPod, which does show Podcasts under the Music folder. Straight away, you'll notice that different modles behave differently, so we need to know.
So, that's the first thing to sort out.
Then, on your manual recordings, did you add all the relevant artist information to the file (i.e. the MP3 tags) when you created them? If not, that will be why they only show up in songs, (but there may be another cause too!). You can fill in any missing information by highlighting the song and clicking on *File/Get Info* and adding the info then.
In the long term, the probably answer to your manual files is to give them their own genre and then search for them that way.

Photos: How to best integrate Mac into existing photo structure?

Hi,
We've just purchased a new iMac to integrate on our home network with a couple of PCs, printers, and other shared devices across the network. We currently use D-Link DNS-323 RAID drive as a NAS server on which we store all pictures in a Directory like structure -> Photos\Summer 2010\Paris... etc. I know that iPhone uses a different system where all the files are stored as a library on the local Mac.
My question is what is the best way to integrate and manage existing photos on the NAS server? Is there a way to use iPhoto so it does not break the existing structure?
Many thanks,
George

The best thing to do is not use iPhoto. It has no cross platform ability whatever. It can't run a library on a NAS (or any disk not formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)) and the file management tools in a situation where the Library is on one volume and the files on another are not good. See this thread for a full discussion of that:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3062728?tstart=0
So, it's really not the right tool for you.
What is?
Well the first question is are you looking for something to manage your Photos? Or simply view them?

Library creating a new duplicate folder structure

I am using 2.0 on a Mac. Recently I moved all my data files including photos and lightroom catalogs from an external to an internal drive on my MacPro and renamed the new drive with the same name as the external and changed the external name and it became a backup. Lightroom continued to work just fine, seeing all the images with no problem. If I do a "Show in Finder" it shows me them on the internal HD. However, when I import a new image or even import an image or folder that has previously been imported, LR brings it in within a new folder structure that uses the same hard drive name.
My actual hard drive folder structure for my data drive is something like HardDriveName/Graphics/Airshows/image.jpg with all my images in a Graphics folder and within that a series of folders and subfolders.
Previously if I imported a new folder, LR would show HardDriveName/NewFolder and I have several folders of imported images with that structure. It did not include the /Graphics folder because I never imported the entire Graphics folder. Now however, after importing a folder, LR created a new folder structure in the Library with a duplicate of the HardDriveName and it included /Graphics.
I went to the first folder structure and picked a small folder and made a change to an image to darken it a great deal. Then I imported the folder all over again and it imported it to the new folder structure but the dark version was not visible. I DO have automatically write xmp data checked.
If I right click on any image from either folder structure LR shows me the image within the same hard drive where my original are found.
I don't want to have two folder structures and apparently if I re-import all my images LR doesn't see the xmp data. I tried to tell RM to read the xmp data from the image I had changed after it came into the new folder but it did not show up. If I manually tell LR to Save Metadata to File for a folder in my original structure and then go to the same folder in the new structure that LR is showing and tell it to read metadata it will show up in the new folder. I have a folder with 32,000+ images and thousands of other images.
I would like LR to continue to bring images into my "old" folder structure but that may not be possible. Any help?
Interestingly I have more than one data drive. This problem does not seem to be happening with my other data drive that I also swapped to an internal configuration.
I put a pic of my folder structure at http://www.pbase.com/santa/image/101246417 to illustrate the issue. My harddrive name shows as Brandon.
I spoke too soon. LR seems to be creating a new folder structure for two of my three hard drives and adding images properly to one of my three hard drives. All three were new drives with the names changed to match the old drives.

yes I did update camera raw. I think LR 2.0 asked for that. I did a search on "duplicate" and found no answer to my problem. Anyone with a link to any useful information?

Aperture doesn't see proper iPhoto folder structure for Locating Referenced

I've got some photos in Aperture 3.03 that were imported from an older version of iPhoto. I needed to reconnect the Aperture photos to the iPhoto originals, so I searched for the location of the photos with Spotlight, which found them in a folder in the iPhoto package.
But when I select the preview photo in Aperture and go to Locate Referenced Files, I can see my iPhoto library, but when I go to look inside the iPhoto library, the folder structure is all wrong. Thus, I can't find my photo.
What would cause Aperture to misread my folder structure? Is it using an old database of folder structure and how to I reset that database?

Thanks for these two responses. I can see the photos fine with iPhoto '09, version 8.1.2 (424).
Right now, I'm backing up my Aperture vault before moving to Aperture 3.10. Hoping that will give me a chance to solve the problem.

PCD folder structure best practices

Hi All,
I'm in de process of modeling the PCD folder structure and would like to get some hints on the best way of doing that.
I've read Managing Big Portals 1 and 2 and some issues made a lot of sense to me.
Some specifics:
-My portal should support three languages, this will specially be the case for KM-related iViews (news, documents)
-The portal has the perspective of growing considerably in the following months/year following a descentralized KM content management model, possibly moving towards descentralized PCD content management
I'm leaning towards the following structure:
KM News
English
Roles
Pages
Worksets
iViews
Portuguese
Spanish
KM Documents
+English
Portuguese
Spanish+
Collaboration
All Languages
External Apps
All Languages....
Administration
All Languages
I still couldn't find a solution I like to the fact that some iViews/Worksets will have the same name for different users..
Any comments? Sugestions?
Thanks in advance!
Günther.

When the Action has to access some elements in the main frame (e.g. it has to get some data from the currently selected node in the tree), how should this be accomplished? Should I use a static reference of the main frame in my application-class (which holds the main()-method)? Or should I pass in the main frame into the Action while creating the instance?I would pass the main frame to the action(s) that need it. Having a public static member to access your application makes it available to everything in your program, not just the stuff that needs it. In strict OO design, you should shoot for as much data hiding as possible.
And another related question: Is it common to use the same instance of an Action to use it e.g. for a menu bar and for a button?Yes. That is the point of Actions. If you didn't reuse an Action you'd have duplicate code, once for the menu item and again for the button.
What if I wanted to have basically the same Action (i.e. the action being performed is the same) but give it two different labels?Although it's been awhile, I seem to recall that if you call setText() on the button/menu item, it "overrides" the name of the Action. e.g. if you have an Action with its NAME property set to "Action", then this menu item will display "Action":
item = new JMenuItem(action);But this menu item will display "New Text":
item = new JMenuItem(action);
item.setText("New Text");

Windows Live Mail Storage Structure in Win Explorer not the same as folder Structure in WLM

How do i make the storage folder structure in Win7 Windows Explorer reflect EXACTLY how i have my email folders structured in WLM? I have several sub-folders in WLM that don't appear in the Win7 Windows Explorer folder structure, and Windows Explorer has
several folders i deleted from WLM months ago. It makes backing up and reinstalling an absolute nightmare. What's the problem? I'll never find this page again, so kindly email me an answer at [email protected] Thx

Please repost your query in the more appropriate Windows Community forums here..
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-ecoms
Note however that the WLM 'file structure' is essentially different to the Windows file structure, so what you appear to want to do may not be possible.

Copy Folder Structure from Explorer into Outlook 2013

Hi,
I have just spent approx 3 months designing an Enterprise Classification Scheme, and built a folder structure in Explorer that I want to replicate in Outlook.
I thought it would have been as simple as copy and pasting from Explorer to an Outlook folder however when I attempt to do so I get the following error:
"Only files or objects can be attachments. x:\xxxx\xxxxx\xxxxx is a folder structure and cannot be attached."
Surely there must be a simple way of doing this so I don't have to manually recreate and name 442 folders in Outlook.
Any advice greatly appreciated.

I tried the Outlook tool with no luck. It ran and looked as though it was doing something but no folders were created.
I did a bit more of a search around and came across a spreadsheet that works perfectly for making folder structures on Network drives. Anyone up to having a look at the VBA in the spreadsheet and modifying it to make shared folders in outlook

Importing all existing photos around my hard drive into light room

I have used many different programs to import, edit, cataog and store my images over the years. I have made the commitment to use Lightroom as my sole photo editing suite. Since I have 10,000's of images all over my hard drive(s), what is the best way to find all of the images, import them, catalog them and maintain them? I have watched several tutorials on how to bring NEW images in and what to do with them, but can not find a good resource for importing old images that may be in many different folders, catalogs, old hard drives, etc. I also have 3 different computers that now have LR4. I don't always work on the same computer but often need to find 1 image from another of my computers to work with. Is there a way to sync all of these photos across all three computers without paying a huge monthly fee for cloud storage?

Consider consolidating all photos into a single folder, or minimum set of root folders, on a single drive, or minimal set of drives, before importing in Lightroom. You'll have any number of fast and capable tools to help you get organized. Once in Lightroom, you will be stuck with Lightroom's limited capabilities for re-organizing folders and renaming files... - to each their own of course, but it's giving me the willies just thinking about your situation .
Don't get me wrong: lots of people don't worry so much about folder/file organization since one can get organized inside Lightroom using metadata, once all the files are imported, but we also hear lots of people saying things like "some of my photos are missing in Lightroom and I don't know how to find them...", and "I have all these files named X-2 and X-2-2 (Lightroom sometimes appends -Digit suffixes to keep from having duplicate filenames) and I don't know what's what anymore...", etc. In my opinion, a well-organized folder structure, and well-named files complements metadata-based organization in Lightroom, very nicely. - do it before importing: you won't regret it (or at least I think you won't).
Cheers,
Rob

BI content with folder structure in portal Content Area

HI Dear Friends,
I have a requirement in my current project where i am integrating the BI reports with SAP EP.Iviews are associated with BI Reports.In the portal on clicking workset it should display folders in the portal content area with Icons instead of in Detail navigation .On click of the displayed folders it should display its sub content with Icons.
I tried in all ways but later i came to know there there is a SAP BI business package which would come up with predifined iviews associated with BI. By importing this business package we can dispaly the BI content in the portal in a folder format .
I am using BI and EP 7.0 versions.
Ratnakar

Ratnakar,
   Let me understand your requirements, correct me if I understood it wrong. You need to display BI reports in Folder structure that is similar when you log on through BEx analyzer or WAD. If this is correct, then you need to upload the BI Role which contain all the required Folder structures and it BI Queries or BI Queries url assigned to that role.Once you upload this role on to portal , you will see folder structure on PCA.
Example
BI Reports - Folder 1
I--> FI reports -- Subfolder 1
I            I--> AP reports 1
I--> CO reports -- Subfolder 2
               I--> Cost Report 1
Hope it helps,
Cheers,
Balaji

How to get the folder structure using Sevlets

Hi....
I have to retrieve the directory structure on the server and display it
to the user. Once the user selects a folder from the tree, the files
have to load on a different pane. Of course the folder structure could
change on the server if any folder or file is added. In short, i have
to get something like the windows file explorer.Also I need to get the path to a particular folder in the server. Is it possible to do
this with using servlets. If we can do this using
servlets, how can i retrieve the folder structure and send it to the
user interface?
Can somebody help me to do this please.....
Thanks!

I need to get the path to a particular folder in the
server. Is it possible to do
this with using servlets.You can use:
String thePath = getServletContext().getRealPath("/WEB-INF/someDir/somefile");
If we can do this using
servlets, how can i retrieve the folder structure and
send it to the
user interface?You could try using a File object and its method listFiles() or some of its other methods.
