Library Folder Organization - State of Workflow Labels

One of the problems I face when using Adobe Lightroom (2.5 and prior) is that there is no way to label the state of processing of a particular folder in my library.
That is for example I cannot label a folder in my library whether I have processed it, in the middle of processing, or not. Having a way to do this without having to rename the folder with some obscure naming convention would be useful.
It seems like a fairly simple request of being able to mark it with a state label.
This could would most conveinantly be colors, though it might become confusing for some as I would not want it associated with the color image labeling.
A simple checkbox flag (true/false), or multi-field dropdown that could be something like (1,2,3), (Done, In Process, Pending), or a custom label configurable by the end user.
Optimally one could mark an entire folder and its subfolders as processed, or just the top folder and items not in subfolders processed so they each could have different states.
Along with this, being able to view items in a folder that are not contained in subfolders.
I.e.
----Layer 1
    -File 1
    -File 2
    --Folder 1
       -File 3
       -File 4
          --Folder 3
            -File 7
            -File 8
    --Folder 2
       -File 5
       -File 6
That is.. I would have the option of viewing files:
       a. Files 1-8
       b. Files 1-2
       c. Files 3-4 & 7-8
       d. Files 3-4, 5-6, or 7-8
Each of these I folders I would then be able to mark a seperate processing status.

It might be usefull for me too. Just yesterday I've rushing through 30 folders of 1 month old catalog, trying to remember which part of it is already processed.

Syncing to new iTunes library without losing app folder organization?

I reinstalled the OS on my PC and after installing iTunes and pointing it at the iTunes folder on my second drive, it nevertheless lost my iTunes library. I was able to re-add all my content by adding the My Music folder to iTunes, but I lost my playlists. I was okay with recreating those, but...
When I chose to sync apps, iTunes said it would replace the apps on the phone with the ones from the libray. And all my folder organization work will be lost.
Is there any way to associate my iPhone 4 with the "new" library but maintain the folder organization I have?

A manual backup will help. Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. This will save all settings, data, photos and much more to your computer. More info here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
After that, transfer our purchases the same way, choosing transfer purchases this time. All apps and purchased media fro the Store will be copied to the new iTunes library.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your PC to be able to merge calendars and contacts after the first sync, which will wipe your phone. But you can restore from the manual backup you made before.

How to get to folder in /Library/Saved Application State/com.adobe.flashplayer.installmanager.savedState

I have a file saved in a folder which according to a find ?/ -name "" search is located here /Library/Saved Application State/com.adobe.flashplayer.installmanager.saved
But I can't browse through this folder structure in Finder (I have run command to allow me to see hidden folders if that is required).
Please can someone help me to find out how to get to this file. It's an excel spreadsheet.
Thank you

When I try to save another excel file that I have also opened from a password protected zip file, the automatic folder selected is "wzQL.8t0UHS". When I try to save a file with exactly the same name as the file that is missing into the folder "wzQL.8t0UHS" it tells me that the file already exists and asks if I want to replace it.
My assumption was therefore that it was some kind of cache where the file is intact.
When I've done a search on the name of the file I am looking for in Finder, I do not find the file.

IMac creates a new, empty Library folder at startup labeled 'Library

This is a weird one. Every time I startup, my computer creates two folders within my Home directory. One is labeled 'Library, and the other is just the ' sign. Within the 'Library folder is a folder labeled Application (note that it's singular, not the normal plural Applications). The actual Library folder is undisturbed. Any ideas what's going on?

The setting is in Aperture-->Preferences. Just select the library you want to use, then exit the Prefs. Quit Aperture. Relaunch. It will use the library you selected.
If you double clicked on a library to open Aperture, it will make that setting in Prefs for you so the next time it should open that library again (assuming it's available at the time, not sleeping as externals often do).

Itunes 7.2 folder organization messed up

After installing itunes 7.2 for windows, I noticed that my songs are being sorted not by Artist\Album, but by Album Artist\Album. Why is this? I never had this problem before.
example.
Song: Hora Staccato
Artist: Heifetz
Album: 1936 Recordings
Album Artist: Emmanuel Bay
This should always be stored as \itunes music\Heifetz\1936 Recordings.
But now, with itunes 7.2 it is stored as itunes music\Emmanuel Bay\1936 Recordings\
This is really counterintuitive. It should organize as it used to, by Main Artist, not Album artist. My folders are all messed up now.
Anyway to fix this? Or is this the way itunes 7.2 is just going to be? The last release of itunes also had problems with folder organization.

Actually I know exactlty what stradvcl is referring to, because I am running into the same problem. Thus my search in the forums.
Usually Ive had no problem in importing a song into iTunes, and changing the song IN iTunes to read as follows.
Name of Song: DAYS `EUREKA OPENING MIX`
Artist: Anime
Album : Eureka seveN OST 1
Album artist: FLOW
And the Windown path would look like this
C:\Documents and Settings\Varxtis\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\Anime\Eureka seveN OST 1\1-01 DAYS `EUREKA OPENING MIX`.mp3
Notice It goes Artist>Album>Song Title
Album Artist would not even be part of the path, which is exactly what I want.
but now it shows
C:\Documents and Settings\Varxtis\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\FLOW\Eureka seveN OST 1\1-01 DAYS `EUREKA OPENING MIX`.mp3
Which goes AlbumArtist>Album>Song Title. it doesn't even include the artist as part of the path. How annoying.
It makes a HUGE difference to me because I need everything in "iTunes Music" library in windows to be pathed as Artist>Album: Song Title. I use a different MP3 Player so, it's almost impossible to have half one way (those that have albumartist) and half another (those that don't) BTW, Sorry apple. . .no Offense. I've had and loved an iPod. . . but it died and I got this as a gift.
I never changed any settings, and quite honestly it's been about a month since I had to update my MP3 player music (thus noticing the problem). So, there HAS to be a reason for it to change. And more importantly, a way to change it back.
"it's just new" is not going to cut it. iTunes is special for its efficiency for sorting music and organizing it. There has to either be an option, or a fix. Anybody know what it is?

Is it possible for automator to convert all word documents in my dropbox folder to apple's "pages" on iCloud and keep the same folder organization?

Is it possible for automator to convert all word documents in my dropbox folder to apple's "pages" on iCloud and keep the same folder organization? I am a teacher and want to switch from using microsoft office on my macbook pro to using pages/number/keynote. I am hoping to get an iPad next year and go "paperless" with lesson plans and gradebooks and I heard that pages/numbers/keynote are great on the ipad. I'd like to write an automator script (workflow?) to convert all my documents in dropbox to pages and have them stored on iCloud, then be able to access the files on my macbook pro and ipad. Thanks!

Library folder in iPhoto

Question regarding the subfolders under the "Library" heading within iPhoto ......
I have 5 "subfolders" (for lack of the proper description) ... marked 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003, "Early Photos".
The photos have been sorted into the various "folders" according to the file date on the original .jpg file. I have no problem with this, it makes sense.
However, everything with a file date of 2002 or earlier gets dumped into the "Early Photos" folder. I know there is a way to reassign a "file date" to older photos (say, old pics I've scanned in), and that's not the question.
Is there a way to add "subfolders" to that Library folder so that older pics can be better sorted in the Main Library?
Thanks in advance!
Joseph.

Joseph:
No there's no way as iPhoto has hardcoded 2003 as the breakoff for the year folders in the Source pane and everything earlier in the "Early Photo"s section. You can bring up all 2001 or 2000 image by going to the calendar at the bottom of the Source pane and clicking on the year, scrolling back to the year you want and those will be in the main window. You can also narrow it down by month that way also.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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 written an Automator workflow application, 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Seem to have an "extra" Library folder...huh?!

Hi all,
Up until recently I've been trying to figure out why my home>Library folder had mysteriously moved inside my home>Documents folder. Finally having the time to do some detective work I used Time Machine to see when the change happened....right around when I went from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion.
In searching the forums, I discovered that my home>Library folder is still there; it's just invisible. However, it's now even more a mystery as to where the home>Documents>Library folder came from or why it exists!
As it is now I have FOUR Library folders on my iMac: 1) Library at the top level of the hard drive, 2) System>Library, 3) home>Library (invisible), and 4) home>Documents>Library (which appeared the same time my home>Library folder became invisible).
This "rogue" Library folder is like the middle of a Venn diagram of the top level and System>library; it shares some, but not all of the top level Library folders, and some, but not all, of the System>Library folders.
Does this make sense to anyone? I started thinking that my file synchronization app had caused the problem (I was using Chronosync to sync my Document folders between my iMac and my late 2006 MacBook running Snow Leopard), but there's no reason synching should have picked up a folder that usually resides outside the Documents folder. Since then my MacBook's HD took a dive and I don't have a backup of it that goes back to the period in question when the folders did their disappearing/reappearing act.
Any thoughts?
TIA,
Kath

Hi there,
So I am able to see the Library in my home folder after reading the option open in the "Go" menu tip in another discussion, but thanks also for making sure I had it.
So then, on comparing all 4 Library folders again, it looks like everything in the "rogue" home>Documents>Library is contained in the top level Library (the one that resides at the same level as the System, Applications, Developer and Users folders).
The rogue Library folder looks like a very incomplete version of the top level System folder, containing only 25 duplicate folders of the main level Library's 67 folders (opening those folders showed the rogue Library had the same, or fewer, nested folders and files within).
So perhaps I can just delete it? I definitely don't think it belongs....but it does bother me not knowing how it got there, especially in its "incomplete" state, unless it's been partially building itself since it arrived in the Documents folder.
Strange....

Organizing with the photo library folder on hard drive

I am a teacher, and I was told that I should NOT do any organizing within the actual iphoto library folder on the hard drive b/c this could corrupt my picture files. I do understand how to use iphoto itself as a photo organizer, but it is frustrating when trying to locate a picture for use in a Word document. Therefore, it made sense to me to organize the folder in the hard drive into the same categories as in my iphoto library. Is there an official ruling from Apple on this? Is this not a recommended practice? How in the world can anyone find the photo they need when you can't drag directly from the iphoto library? Thanks for any help you can give me!!

If your photos are properly organized in folders and albums, locating a picture is a snap. In fact, that's precisely where iPhoto shines. I honestly don't understand your difficulty.

Using the finder to muck around in the library is an invitation to bleeding ulcers. This forum has posts daily from users asking for help in undoing the damage they've done to the library. In both the iPhoto "Help" screens and in the Technical Articles available at this site you'll find the words: "If you move, delete, rename, or otherwise tamper with files or folders in the iPhoto Library folder, you may be unable to see your pictures in iPhoto."

Well, let's say that I want a photo of Uncle Joe that was taken on Thanksgiving Day, 2004. I open iPhoto and open the 2004 folder. From inside "2004," I open the Thanksgiving album and look for Uncle Joe. When I find a pic that I like, I drag it to the desktop (or wherever else I want it) and a copy is made for me lickity split.

IPhoto 6:Library: Pics missing in Library Folder, although visible in album

Hi. I have my iPhoto Library on an external harddisk drive. Without having tampered with the iPhoto Library Folder in the Finder, the Library Folder (in iPhoto) does not show all of my recent Pictures, although they are organized - and visible! - in albums and folders.
Also the search function does not find all pictures younger than July '06, but the pictures (in the albums) are clearly tagged August '06 to Feb '07.
In the Finder, all photos are present in the "Originals" resp. "Modified".
So the files are definitely not lost, but not organizable in iPhoto.
Rebuilding my iPhoto Library was useless, same result.
Any chance to get my Library working nicely again? Thanks for answers!

I'm afraid this sounds like a corrupted library file - especially as the search won't work. Do you have a current backup? If so, copy the library6.iphoto file from the backup to the iPhoto Library Folder (allow it to overwrite the existing one) and re-start iPhoto.
If not, then you'll need to create and populate a new library:
To create and populate a new library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same film rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, books, calendars etc.
Move the iPhoto Library Folder to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library Folder on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual rolls to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library Folder on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

I found a folder called "iAntivirus" in the Library Folder (10.6.8). Is this Folder needed, is it the macs own antivirus, or can i delete it?

I found a folder called "iAntivirus" in the Library Folder (10.6.8). Is this Folder needed, or can i delete it?

i cant remember installing any antivirusprogramm, but if i rightclick the folder it clearly states that it was installed after i bought the macbook pro. i wasnt sure if it was an integral part of the operating system or maybe even a virus ("iantivirus" sounds a bit strange). thanks for the quick response, i will delete the folder.

HELP! Copied the iPhoto Library folder to backup, but files are smaller

Help! To get more space on my laptop, I copied some photos to a backup hard drive, following the instructions in iPhoto help: "Copy the iPhoto Library folder on your hard disk to another disk." I then deleted many of the photos from my laptop.
Now I'm looking at the photo files on the backup hard drive, and noticing that they are much smaller in size than the originals, for example 45 KB versus 1.1 MB. I tried a test photo by copying a photo from the hard drive back into iPhoto on my laptop, then opened the photo next to the original. Much smaller resolution!
Then I go to the laptop's iPhoto Library Folder (where all the photos are supposed to reside) and find this particular photo, and sure enough, it shows that the file size is indeed much smaller (45 KB) than the photo information shows when I have the photo open in iPhoto (1.1 MB).
So what's going on? Have I lost the detailed information on all of the backed-up photos, or does iPhoto get more information from somewhere? Am I really backing up everything when I follow the iPhoto Help instructions and just copy the iPhoto Library Folder?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. It sounds as if you copied the Data folder only which contains the thumbnail files. If you don't have a backup or the entire library or the original files I'm afraid you're out of luck. You could try recovering them from the HD (if you haven't used it much since deleting the image files) with SubrosaSoft FileSalvage. It will let your run it in demo mode to see what files, if any, can be recovered before you have to purchase it.

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.

Can i make an alias of an iPhoto Library folder?

so i've decided that i'm going to try and tinker with Bridge that comes with Photoshop Elements, but of course, I can't access my pictures from iPhoto in Bridge. I just need to play with both iPhoto and Bridge to see which will work out better for me.
I don't want to corrupt any files....so googling (my "research" method) I came across this http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20070813153307986
basically telling me to "In the Finder, navigate to the iPhoto Library, control-click and select Show Package Contents from the pop-up folder. Now create an alias for the Modified and/or Original folders within the package (your preference) and drag it/them to another folder on your drive."
(sorry, I don't know how to create links or quotes here in this forum)
Is that ok? I'm pretty sure I want to make an alias of my Original Folder, but I don't want to corrupt anything. All my pictures are now on iPhoto - my External Harddrive that I used to transfer backup my PC stuff & keep extra pics and music to free up PC space has now been converted to use as Time Machine. So I don't really have anything else with the pictures backed up but that Time Machine.
by the way - Pros and Cons with Bridge and iPhoto would be greatly appreciated. I understand iPhoto will basically work with Mac stuff better - but I don't even know how to use iDVD, iMovie, etc. Bridge, I've been told, is good because I can keep my pictures in psd format instead of jpg therefore i'm able to keep layers.
Thanks!

Yes, that would be OK. Just move the Originals copy folder to the Desktop when done. Or you can *Option drag* the Originals folder to the Desktop where the duplicates will be created leaving the Originals folder safe in the library.
