Lightroom 3 breaks stacks when moving them

Can anyone else confirm with me that if you move a collapsed stack of images to another folder, that it will only move the top image and unstack all the images? I've tried this is windows and mac. I reinstalled lightroom 2 on a new computer and it does not do this.
Thanks

Same problem using an iMac.
With LR 2 selecting files then moving them with drag and drop moved only the visible files, but when you later moved the remaining members of stacks to the new folder, stacks were still intact.
With LR 2 right clicking on a new folder and selecting move selected files to this folder moved the entire contents of any stack even when lower files in the stack were not visible and selected.
With LR 3, you must open and select every member of a stack in order to move the files and keep the stacking from being destroyed.
Since I have tens of thousands of files in thousands of stacks, I am very irritated with this change or bug and look forward to its repair.

How can I preserve the date and time of photos when moving them from iPhone to iPhoto and then to other folders on my computer?

In the past I’ve had no problem moving photos from my iPhone 4 into various folders on my computer while retaining their original date and time. I would import into iPhoto, then drag the photos from iPhoto into other folders via the Finder or Adobe Bridge (which is my principal image organizer). The original date and time of the photo would always travel with the jpeg into iPhoto and then into other folders. However, sometime during a recent session transferring photos in this way, the dates of the photos started to change at the point when I copied them out of iPhoto. Within iPhoto itself, the various original dates of the photos are retained. But in Finder and Bridge, copies of those same photos all carry the same (worthless) date: the date and time that they were imported from my iPhone. I can’t figure out what would have changed on my Mac to make it start re-dating my photos. I was happily dragging and dropping photos, and suddently I started to lose the original dates. Did I inadvertently change some settings? (I am running OS 10.6.8 and using iPhoto 8.)

(I use iPhoto only to import from my iPhone; I organize all my images, including thousands of RAW files, in folders on a big external drive.)
Why are you using iPhoto at all? use image capture or drag and drop the photos
The problem is that the files I am copying are getting stripped of the EXIF metadata
eliminating iPhoto from your work flow will eliminate one oppertunity to have this happen For photos in iPhoto it is best to export them rather than drag an drop them - this assures your EXIF and IPTC data is correct and uptodate
Why would I be able, over many years, to retain EXIF metadata in photos imported from an iPhone--then one day find that the same workflow strips such photos of EXIF data?
Because exporting is the supported way to "export" photos - I never drag and drop photos out of iPhoto and I never use thrid party programs on the photos in the iPhoto library - try exporting as suggested above and see if that is the solution

Users inconsistent when moving them from one org ID to another.

Hello experts,
We are using SRM 5.0, and every time I move a user within the organizational structure it renders them useless.
When I check users_gen -> Check user and employee data I get the following:
Error: Business partner for <USERNAME> is missing or contains errors
And, at the right, on the column "Object existence/consistency", we get a red light.
Is there a solution for this issue?
Regards,
Gilberto Gallardo

Hi,
Please check in BP relation in BP transaction, for the BP of the user .
Go to BP transation --> enter the BP number of the user --> click on start --> double click on the result --> now click on 'Relation' button
If we don;t have any relation then this is the issue.
If we find more than one relation then this is also an issue.
If we find one entry --> now double click on the entry --> check whether
any error. If there is any error, related to address please correct the address of org. to which the user is connected.
If there is no relation in BP relation, try to recreate it with the following steps, (this can be applicable only if HR Replication - OFF)
For this purpose, position the cursor on the business partner of
the user, select the context menu with the right mouse button and select
'Delete -> Assignment'. Memorize the business partner number and then
assign the business partner to the position again. To check your
changes, start Transaction USERS_GEN.

KDE desktop icons looks ugly when moving them

If you look at this image: http://i.imgur.com/NGKSX.png you can see the middle icon looks terrible, all the icons look like that when I move them.
What's causing this and how can I fix it? Anyone else having the same issue?

There's not much you can do, there is a patch to folderview plasmoid on http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/Fo … ent=140457, but it was for older kde releases..
I tried it now and it doesn't seem to remember the location, showing only your $HOME, maybe you can talk to the dev for an updated version.
...Or, of course, you can submit this problem at bugs.kde.org, hoping it will be fixed soon.

Disappearing widgets when moving them onto image slider composition

I am trying to figure out why when I have a multi-image composition slideshow that I place the social networking widgets on to, they showed up on each image as it went through the slideshow.
Now, for some reason when I just relocate the widgets that are on top of the same slideshow composition, they lock themselves to just THAT particualr image in the show now. I need/want them to continue to be on top of all of the images as they display over each image as it rotates in the composition.
I am sure its simple, but I can't seem to find it. I have the same problem with more than just widgets, but all are associated with keeping them on TOP of all images that show in a slideshow.
Not sure if this is a bug or not.
Thanks.

Here is what I would do:
Import images in Lr. Then immediately after import, all images are displayed in <Recent/Previous Import> - Grid View.
Let's say there are altogether 5 different people in various combinations on all of these images.
I'd select all images that show John and create a new keyword "John" that is then immediately added to these images.
I'd select all images that show Anne (even if they also show John) and create a new keyword "Anne" that is then immediately added to these images.
Some of these images have only one keyword "John" or "Anne", some have both keywords.
I'd select all images that show "Carla" (irrespective if they also show Anne or John or both) and assign the keyword "Carla" to them.
Etc.
I'd probably would create these keywords under a new keyword that would have the name of the Event. So my keyword list would look like this:
- John's birthday party 2013
- - John
- - Anne
- - Carla
- - Jeff
- - Kent
Naturally you could also create keywords such as "John & Carla", "Carla & Anne" .

A series of video files (0001.MTS to 0005.MTS) were imported into premiere, when moved to timeline premiere combined them and made them look like one long clip named 0001.MTS. Multiple motion edits and opacity edits were made. When project manager moved the project, the actual video content of 0002.MTS to 0005.MTS was missing(source clips are still there but they were playing and working as part of that 0001.MTS timeline clip before). Those parts of the 0001.MTS clip in the timeline were Danger Striped and can be relinked but now have no edits anymore. The edits are apparently only linked with the original 0001.MTS source clip but extend beyond the actual range of the actual source clip. At the time I thought it was weird that premiere displayed the whole string of clips as one (with one name and no breaks) but it all works in the original project file but cannot be transferred to another location without multiple clips showing Danger Stripes.I need to move it and preserve the dozens of motion and opacity edits linked to the apparently oversized timeline clip. HELP!! any ideas?
I did not nest any clips or sequences, premiere just seemed to combine the clips under one name when I moved them to timeline.
I am using CS5.

I have an iPad 2 and receive e-mail through internet connection. When I delete e-mails, and clear my Trash folder, they re-appear. Setting are for remove from server when moved from Inbox. Any idea what I can do to actually delete them?

I have an iPad 2 and receive e-mail through regular internet connection. Lately, when I delete e-mails, and clear my Trash folder, they re-appear, downloaded anew from the server and marked as unread. My e-mail Advanced Settings are selected for "Remove from server when moved from Inbox." Even when I access the e-mail accountfrom my desktop and delete the e-mails, the re-appear on my iPad. Does anyone have any idea what is causing this and what I can do to actually delete them?

Sounds like you are looking in the wrong Administrative Group container which is why you are seeing your Exchange 2010 servers in there.
When you install Exchange 2003 only you will see a container named by default as "CN=First Administrative Group" container. But this could be named anything if you changed the Organization Name on the installation when you installed the first
Exchange 2003 server into the domain/forest.
You will notice that when you install Exchange 2010 part of the AD setup is to create a new configuration container and is named by default "CN=First Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)".
So it sounds like you are not looking in the right location within ADSIEdit.
You may find the following article also helpful for this issue which is the same resolution:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/sbs/archive/2012/05/17/empty-cn-servers-container-causing-issues-with-public-folders-on-small-business-server-2011.aspx
I recommend though that you ensure your Exchange 2003 servers are fully uninstalled or no longer present in your environment before you go deleting the Servers container though.. The following Microsoft article will help with this:

Image size changes when moving an image between Lightroom and CC.

Image size changes when moving an image between Lightroom and CC.
I opened a .dng image in LR and then opened it in the Develop module. I clicked on Crop Overlay and then on the ‘As Shot’ drop down menu (the lock is closed) and cropped to 11 x 17 and clicked ‘Done’-.
I click Cntl-E and the image opens in CC. There I click on Image > Image Size and the Image Size is 13.288 inches by 20.533 inches.
Why does the image size change?
I believe there is a menu to control the size of the image and I've looked everywhere I can think of in LR and CC, I googled various descriptions and I checked two of Scott Kelby's books, but I just can't figure out how to keep the image a consistent size when moving between LR and CC.
Help!...Please?

The penny will drop soon or maybe the cloud will lift.
In Lightroom all editing is undoable/nondestructive.
Hence a crop of 3x2 is not inches, centimetres, pixels or anything else. It is jst a ratio. When a file is exported, either to PS or disk, then the crop ratio has size determined in respect of pixels and inches or cms.
So my 6000x5000 pixel image I will crop to 3x2 that leaves (before exporting) a 6000x4000 file.
Now when exported it can be set to export at
100pixels per inch and will end up at 60x40" when printed.
200pixels per inch will end up at 30x20"
300ppi will end at 20x13.3"
You will notice in the Crop Tool there are no size denominations such as inches or centimetres as an image file only has pixels and the determination of size is done through exporting or printing.
Hope that helps somewhat..

When I upload photos from my old lightroom 3 program they come into photoshop at 14% zoom percentage which is what I want them to come in at so I can zoom them in to detail the skin. What might have changed settings wise between the 2 programs, I cannot figure it out.

Lightroom 4.4 Map Module blinks "Offline" when moved or zoomed.

Lightroom 4.4 Map Module blinks "Offline" when moved or zoomed.
As stated, every time I move the map with the mouse or zoom the map using any method the map blinks into "offline" condition to redraw. This is not only annoying but drastically slows down work flow.
How can this be stopped?
Macbook Pro 2010 i7 8GB RAM
Thanks,

To see what I see, turn off your internet by shutting off your wireless card or disconnecting your ethernet if hard wired. The map will turn into a grey full-earth map and have the note "map is offline."
Woody 77 may be correct but the problem follows me from location to location and happens when others are getting no problems at all.
I was wondering if there was some form of optimizing I could do to improve performanc. Perhaps I am having a problem with my airport card.

Flash file breaks when moved to PC

I created several flash files on a Mac using Flash CS3 and then recently moved them to my PC. I tried to open them up on the PC and when I run the code, my .load no longer works. It doesn't make any sense because the AS should work the same no matter what. I also no longer have assess to my Mac, so I can't go back and change anything.
My codes goes a little like this:
testingXML = new XML ();
testingXML.onLoad = loadingAction;
testingXML.load ("http://www.google.com");
Thanks!

In my case, this exception was due to a defect in some timeout code I'd written. I didn't want to wait forever for the command to complete, so after an appropriate amount of time, the code would destroy the process. That invalidated the data streams however, causing the bad file number exception in the reader threads.
So you may look for ways in which the executed process might be getting destroyed.

All photos in portrait format are displayed blurred in the preview mode "fill" of the library. In all other modes e.g. "fit"or "1:2" the photos are sharp. How can I change this, so that the photos are still sharp when displaying them in the mode "fill"?

Thanking you in anticipation!

I'd like to get all these '-1 suffix' files together with their associated Develop adjustments into one folder (if they aren't already) so I can see them in Grid view in the Library module, which I use as my basic starting point for everything else at this early stage of my Lightroom 'career'.
To see what folder these are stored in, right-click on a photo and select "Go to Folder in Library".
Advice: if you are going to use Lightroom effectively, you probably want to stop using folders as your method to create a grouping of photos that are already in Lightroom; there are plenty of built-in tools, such as keywords, collections, color labels, etc.
I don't understand why the search on the entire catalog picked up apparently the same two file versions but also got the Develop adjustments when going to the relevant Folder didn't show the adjustment black squares against each image in Grid view nor were they there when the images were opened in the Develop module. Perhaps if I understood this, I'd be a bit more confident of moving forward myself.
These are most likely different versions of the same photo, in different folders. Lightroom stores the edits in its own catalog, and so it knows that one folder's photos have edits, and the other folder's photos do not have edits. Please understand that Lightroom is a database, it knows where the photos are at the time you import them (or add them to the catalog by synchronize), and then if you move things around in your operating system, Lightroom does not know anything about that and problems begin. Thus the advice to organize using Lightroom tools and methods and not operating system tools and methods.

LR4.2 - Error when moving files

I can repeatedly reproduce an error when moving files into folders within LR4.2.
My current folder structure is setup like:
F:\pictures\YEAR\Folder name\Sub folder\
When I'm moving files from "Folder name" to "Sub folder" I will be moving approx 6 - 20 photos at a time when sorting them into sub folders. After a while of moving files, LR will stop allowing you to move files and will show up the O symbol with a line through it. Until you close and re-open LR will it allow you to start moving photos again.
I've had this happen 3 times on me now and is completely reproducible. As above, move a small amount of files from a parent folder into a child folder repeatedly and eventually it will refuse to move any more photos until you restart LR.

Hi,
I experienced the same problem and error message this morning ...and found that the following steps will resolve the error (at least when using LR 3 on a MAC):
(1) Open LR and rename all the files that you are trying to move by hitting the F2 button, (MAC shortcut)
(2) Look for any images that may have a '?' mark next to them and resolve if required. (The '?' indicates a file 'location' conflict within the catalogue, - ie you may have moved the files around outside of LR)
(3) While still within LR ....highlight all the files that need to be moved ....and drag and drop them into your preferred new location in the usiual way.
Hope this helps.
Cheers

Lost Edits when moving pictures

Hi there,
I made the mistake of moving the pictures to another folder (using Windows Explorer) after I had done some editing.
I've noticed that after I moved them, I lost every edit I had made. Is there any way of recovering those edits?
thanks!

sorry for the incomplete message before. So after I moved the pictures in Windows Explorer, in Lightroom they appeared with question marks. So I clicked on the folder and chose syncronize pictures. After that, it found where they were in the new location, but they were back to the way they were when I first imported them to Lightroom. There's no icon on their thumbanails showing that they were edited, and there's nothiing in their history panel.
I hope i was more clear this time and you might be able to help me better.
Thank you so much!

IMac 27" inch display screen flicker issue when moving files

Whenever a drop a file from Finder to my desktop, the screen flickers. Occasionally, when I move a window, it also flickers, but it's a more consistent problem when dropping the files on the desktop. It only flickers once and returns to a completely normal state.
It does NOT happen when going the other way - from the desktop to Finder.
I purchased the iMac AFTER the original firmware updates, so I haven't had to install any of them from the original problem a couple years ago.
I am wondering if this is a problem that is discussed or if there are any suggestions.
Thanks....

I'm having the same problem. Here are the details I was about to post as a separate thread:
27" iMac 2.7GHz Intel Core i5 with 16Gb RAM. I'm also using a 20" ACD alongside, a set up I have used with my previous 24" iMac. The ACD is being used as an extended desktop (not mirrored).
I've just started noticing an odd effect: When moving a file from a folder onto the desktop, the entire iMac screen flickers and breaks up momentarily before reverting to normal. It is an effect which lasts a fraction of a second and is visually very intrusive.
Weirdly, if I move the file but continue to hold it for a second before releasing to place it on the desktop, there is no flicker.
Similarly, if I open another folder and place the window alongside, moving a file from window to window produces no flicker. It only happens when moving something to the desktop.
The effect does not happen if the ACD is turned off (but connected) or the ACD is used in Mirror mode.
Does this sound like a hardware or software fault?
