Lightroom 6 new import steps?
I'm struggling with Lightroom 6's new import steps. I import all my files into my catalog as dng. I understand that LR6 no longer does the conversion on the fly, but first copies the proprietary raw file to disk, then converts it. When I import files now in LR 6, there are a total of four operations that take place. First, proprietary raw files are copied to disk. Next, three concurrent operations occur: building smart previews, building search index, and conversion to camera raw. Of these concurrent operations, building previews always completes twice as fast as the other two operations. So, with that said, here are my questions:
How can LR6 build a preview of an image before it's done converting the image to dng? And why would we want to see a preview based on a different raw format? Once it's converted to raw with any custom import settings, won't it have to re-generate the preview (i.e. is this a resource-intensive, wasted step)?
What is "building search index?" This operation takes just as long as the raw conversion process, which - in my experience over the past couple days - takes about 2-3 times as long as it did in LR5 (so much longer in fact that I'm probably going to switch back until Adobe figures out how to rework this). Can I turn this off, or make the action manual, or make it occur after raw conversion?
I concur with this sentiment. I shoot exclusively in raw format and importing and converting to DNG takes 3 times as long as it used to. LR 5 used to read the raw image from my SD card and write the image to the hard drive in DNG format. Now it reads the raw image from the SD card, writes it to the hard drive in the same format and then reads the image from the hard drive and writes it back to the hard drive as DNG format and then deletes the original raw image. All of this reading/writing/deleting is tremendously slower.

Lightroom will not import my photos. It did up to a week ago. I have changed cards and cameras (both worked two weeks ago). I can import the photos to Picasa and iPhoto. I get the following error message:
Some import operations were not performed.
The following files were not imported because they could not be read [followed by a list of the files I wanted to import]
Thumbnails show up. LR just will not import them.
Any idea what is going wrong?If the Import button is not clickable, that means that Lightroom thinks you have no new photos to import (one possible reason is that they are duplicates)
So, you need to figure out why Lightroom thinks that. The way I would do this is to search your Library module for at least one of the photos, by file name. To do this, you would follow all 4 of these steps in sequence:
Click on All Photographs in the Catalog Panel on the left of the Library Module
Turn off all Filters (Ctrl-L or Cmd-L once or twice)
Expand all stacks: Photo->Stacking->Expand All Stacks
Search for one or more of the photos using the Filter Bar (press backslash), search by File Name -
Import steps not specific to Transport Request
Hi all,
I need to move 5 Released Transport Request as "Local Change Requests" to another SAP installation.
I followed two guides to do this:
SAP BASIS / ABAP - How to Export and Import an External Change Request - YouTube
How to copy Repository Objects between non-connected SAP systems - ABAP Development - SCN Wiki
However I have problems creating the Change Request that contains all my requests: if I generate it as Local Change Request it is not available on cofiles and data folders.
So I created a new Virtual System called M02 and I created a standard consolidation transport link between my original system M01 and the virtual system M02.
Then I created a new TRANSPORT OF COPIES Transport Request and I selected as target system M02. All objects are correctly added to the new request and the validation is correctly performed.
However when I release the request on the SOURCE server I get the following error:
M01####### My Request Name
M01 System M01
Checks at Operating System Level 05.03.2014 16:48:34 (0) Successfully Completed
Pre-Export Methods 05.03.2014 16:48:37 (0) Successfully Completed

M02 Virtual System
Selection for Import 05.03.2014 16:48:47 (0) Successfully Completed
Import steps not specific to transport request
"Import steps not specific to transport request" expanded as:
Feedback after export or import 05.03.2014 16:48:48 (0) Successfully Completed
I get this message even if I generate the new Change Request from a single Change Request (the first one that we released).
The cofiles and data files are correctly generated, however the IMPORT on the TARGET server returns an error (invalid data package)
My question is: is the "Import steps not specific to transport request" message correct, or should I modify something? Why am I getting this message?
Thank youHi Chinna,
Its a warning message you can ignore that... if you want to see what exactly the reason for warning in SE09 --> select the released request --> click the Transport Log Ikon --> select the warning message and click the spects Ikon --> go on expanding you can find the warnings of Objects in Yellow...
Hope this helps,

I have around 400,000 photos of 15 years so given the high number, I organized all my photos into 6 catalogs to avoid potential problems. All the photos and the catalogs are in a 4TB Seagate external hard drive. I use Adobe Lightroom 5 and I use a PC with the latest Windows Office 2013.
I wanted to have a NEW Catalog of all my rated 1 Star+ photos of all the years in a single Catalog. So I created what I called Star+ Catalog and I was told the best option is to import a Catalog at a time and given that there is no means to filter importing only Stared photos, I would import all the photos and then delete all the UnStared photos. I did that for Catalog Year 2014 but at the end gave me the message: "lightroom could not import this catalog because of an unknown error". It actually had imported around 40k photos from about 50k total. I tried again and again and every time I end up with the same thing. I created another new Catalog and stared from scratch and the same ting happened: the ONLY EXACT 40k or so photos were imported and the rest were not!! When I imported Catalog Year 2013 of around 45k photos, it worked perfectly. But when I imported Catalog Year 2012 of 35k photos, the same thing happened!!
I then tried exporting the needed photos to a new Catalog and that worked. But then when I try to import them again from my Master *+ Catalog I get the same error again!!
I also tried creating a new Master *+ Catalog and tried to import the Catalogs of each year into it and the same error happened again!!!
Any advice: 1) on how to solve this? and 2) if there is a better and easier way to create this Master Catalog of All Stared Photos of All my Catalogs?This is a duplicate thread - see here

Any advice: 1) on how to solve this? and 2) if there is a better and easier way to create this Master Catalog of All Stared Photos of All my Catalogs?OK, my starting point is that LR can happily contain 400000+ photos, and it's a mistake to create a 1 star plus catalogue as you suggest. Instead, I'd recommend you create a master catalogue of all your photos, which you can then query however you want - 2 star, or a certain keyword, or with "xyz" in the title etc.
If you are intent on going that way, you could try a slight change from what you've done so far. Instead of trying to import an entire catalogue and then delete no-star pictures, take the 2014 and 2012 catalogues and select only the 1 star photos. Then do an Export as Catalog for these items, and import the 2014-1star and 2012-1star into your new catalogue. That may get you past the problem images which I suspect are the problem.
If that doesn't work, or if you follow my initial advice, you're going to need to identify the image where the failure occurs. You may have a corrupt image file, and replacing it from your backup may be sufficient to resolve the problem. Alternatively, it may be a corrupt record in the catalogue, and in this case it may be sufficient to remove the image from the catalogue and import it again. You might try selecting everything in the 2014 catalogue and seeing if you can do an Export as Catalog, creating a clean 2014, and deleting 2014's previews folder might also get rid of a potential problem. Something else is to try the Export as Catalog for images 1-40000, then a second Export as Catalog for images 40002-50k.
So a few things you'll need to try, rather than a magic bullet, and a recommendation to change the underlying direction.

The new Import Sequence feature causes Premiere Pro CC to CRASH!
*** This was happening before the update, and the update to 7.01 has not fixed this issue.***
I have a series of intros and end slates for a YouTube series. I (kind of) love the new Import Sequence from Project feature, new in PPr CC. But more often than not, trying to import a sequence from another project using the Media Browser causes Premiere to crash. Can anyone else report whether this is NOT working for you, too. I can imagine scenarios where you either don't use this feature, or haven't gotten around to it since the launch of CC.
Thanks in advance for anyone who is willing to test and verify whether this is a bug.
Win7 64-bit
ASUS g75vx Laptop
i7-3630qm
NVIDIA GTX-670mx, 3GB GDDR5
16GB RAMWell, certainly one of my sequences (let's call it "A") always causes a crash. Sequence B was NOT causing a crash last week. Today sequence B started crashing (in 7.0). So I updated to 7.01 and tried again. Still crashing (always, now). So I set out to create a new sequence C.
To create sequence C, I opened a successfully completed project from last week. I Saved As... "New Opening Sequences". Next, I cut away every sequence except for the sequence that holds the intro. I did a Project > Remove Unused to get rid of all the footage, titles, etc. Now I had a project that only contained Sequence C and it's linked media. Nothing is offline. Everything is in tact.
Finally, I open the project I need to finish today. I need to add the bumper to the front of the video. So I navigate within the Media Browser to find the "New Opening Sequences" project. I double click. I get the yellow, dynamic link-like loading bar. When the project media, bins and sequences appear, I double-click the sequence I want to impor.... KKKKKEHEHHE!!! Crash.
I'll restart to get you the exact error message...
WOW!!! I just left this window open to go get the exact error message for you. I went through the same steps above. It worked this time. So to answer your question, Sequence C is also hit or miss. This is the first successful attempt today (about 10 previous tries, restarts, etc).
Definitely seems like a bug. Can anyone else reproduce this crash?
P.S. - Perhaps it's significant, perhaps not: In all cases, A, B and C, these sequences have Dynamic Linked footage from After Effects (animations). While they do have some live-action, they are primarily AE animations. This may help you reproduce the crash.
I'm also not running anything unusual. Mainly the OS, a browser, Webroot SecureAnywhere (Anti-virus), Premiere. -
Lightroom opens new images in old process
Using Lightroom 3.5. It seems to me in the past that my images would import and the 2010 process would be applied automatically. However, no matter what I do, I'm getting to the "!" on my new imports. I know how to change it or fix it. But I guess I have forgotten what to do to force Lightroom to default to the 2010 process.

Post import steps of BPC add-on and SP import
Hi,
I've just imported BPC Add-On component and SP's(SAP BusinessObjects Planning and Consolidation 7.5 for Netweaver) into our BW system and need to perform a post import step as the installation note 1398026 -
Delivery Customizing is imported into client 000 and may have to
be copied to other clients. For more information, see Note
337623.
I'm having problems understanding exactly what it is I need to do can someone help? I'm sure I've had to do this before but can't remember the details or it being this complicated!
ChrisDear Chris,
I've already a installation like your scenario, however, I did nothing special about this note 337623.
I've understood that doesn't have a customizing setup for new client.
In my case I've installed BI system, copoy client 00 for XXX , activated the RSA1 ( it's very important ) and I 've install the BPC ADD ON.

Lightroom could not import this catalog because of an unknown error.
OS 10.5.8
(gb mem
I have recently exported a catalog from my main database (on a mac) with about 700 photos. Including negative files
We opened the catalog on a PC machine in the same version of lightroom. 3.5 camera raw 6.5. The images were given new keywords and then exported as a Catalog including Negative files.
The original catalog has been deleted from the main database on the Mac.
The Catalog with the new keywords saved across the network to the Mac.
Permissions are open to everyone on the folder the Catalog is in.
When I try and import the catalog in lightroom I can see the thumbnails,
However get this message. I’ve lost many hours trying to get the catalog bak into the main library.
I can open the catalog on its own in Lightroom, just when I try and import the catalog I get the bellow message.
I’ve tried importing saving to a new location
Importing not moving the files
Lightroom could not import this catalog because of an unknown error.
I see others have had similar problems however do not see a clear answer.
Has anybody a solution?
Thanks PatrickI'm having this issue as well, and honestly I've *never* been able to get "import from catalog" to work. In my case I have a catalog created on my Windows 7 laptop in LR3.5. I've copied it to an external drive, plugged it into my PC running Windows 7 with LR3.5. And I get the "could not import this catalog because of an unknown error" message.
I've confirmed every image in the catalog I am trying to import is accounted for and isn't "missing". There are no duplicate images between the exported catalog and the one I'm trying to import in.
Thoughts?

LR is using meta data from previous edited photos on new imports
LR is using meta data from previous edited photos on new imports-
When I am importing new photos to a new catalog LightRoom gave all the photo settings that I had used on a previous catalogs photo I had to delete the catalog because I could not find an answer anywhere. Tried the deleteing and importing 3 times with same result.
Once I did Start another new catalog and pressed reset on everything I could find it worked.
What can I do if this happens again? Anybody know what setting that involves?On the right side of the Import screen, there's a heading "Apply during import". (If it doesn't show, right-click on the panel on the right and choose it from the menu.) One of its sub-fields is Metadata. That field and the Keywords field below it, I think are "sticky". You need to make sure that they contain the metadata that you want applied in your current import.
It's almost always a bad idea to delete your catalogue or re-import images. Both those things fall at the very end of possible remedies because they cost you a lot of work, and there are almost always cheaper ways of solving your problem.

Rename Lightroom 4.4 imported images with unique numbers?
I want to rename images imported from a card into Lightroom 4.4 with a single set of initials followed by a sequence of unique numbers. I would like the number sequence to continue from one import to the next. However, each time I start a new import, Lightroom starts again at 00001. Is there a way to instruct Lightroom to automatically continue the renumbering sequence from one import to the next WITHOUT manually resetting the "start" number each time?
What you described was my filenaming convention exactly, for a long while.
I constructed the unique numbers using:
shoot-name (enter number)
file-number (aka filename-number-suffix).
Pros: accomplishes the goal, and filenames are *very* short.
Cons: you have to manually manage job shoot number in case image-number rolls over.
If Lightroom supported folder number, then all would be well, since unique number would simply be:
{folder-number}{file-number}.
But, Lightroom doesn't (support folder number).
My new filenaming convention assures uniqueness using a combination of date-time and some other stuff:
{date}{photographer-initials}{time}{camera-designation}{image-number}.{extension}
Pros: supported by Lr native filenaming features (although I don't use Import dialog box for importing, nor native Lightroom for naming). And, alphabetical order is same as capture time order, except divvied by photographer (note: *not* divvied by camera photographer used, unless both were used during the same second).
Cons: *very* verbose, and not very readable.
So to answer your question more specifically: No: I'm not aware of any sequence number which accomplishes your goal exactly, but yes: there is a way without it.

I have been sampling new imported drum loops. And if I adjust region to song or time strecth it updates the audio file in the library. How to stop this? I lost the original setting to one loop. automatically doing it ??
This "original file cannot be found" thing happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

New import parameter ATPCHECK to be added in func module - IMPACT?
Hi !
We are in the Realization phase of implementing SAP CRM, and also undercone a ECC 6.0 migration 3 months back. We are faced with the foll problem....
Whenever a reservation is to be created from the CRM system a functional module u2018'CRM_SRV_LOG_PROCESS_RSRV' is called in the ERP system. Within this functional module, another functional module u2018MB_RESERVATION_CREATE_INTERNALu2019 is called. It is this functional module which actually creates a reservation and performs ATP check.
In the ECC system a new import parameter ATPCHECK has been added in u2018MB_RESERVATION_CREATE_INTERNALu2019 functional module and this is not filled whereas in R/3 this parameter does not exist at all.
This parameter needs to hold a value X for ATP to happen in THE ECC system.
It is proposed to fix this problem by adding the parameter ATPCHECK with value X in the functional module 'CRM_SRV_LOG_PROCESS_RSRV' when 'MB_RESERVATION_CREATE_INTERNALu2019 is called.
We have not modified any function modules so far, hence would like to know...
1. Whether the proposed solution is correct?
2. What would be the imact (things to watch out for) while carrying out changes in the function module?
Would be grateful to get a reply.
Thanks & Regards,
Ajeetha.Hello
I have referred to the systems ECC 6.0 and SAP 4.7. In SAP 4.7, function module MB_RESERVATION_CREATE_INTERNAL never had ATP check inbuilt. See below:

Keywords not transferring with pictures on copy and paste to a new computer. The keywords are in lightroom on old computer but not in lightroom on new computer? Not all pictures, but a lot of the new ones.
I actually found under EDIT then Catalog settings / then metadata that the automatic write changes to XMP had been unchecked. Once I check this, it updated and connected all the keywords to the pictures. Now when I copy and paste the keywords show up as I can now detect them in Adobe bridge when before I couldn't see them even though they were in lightroom. . Thanks for your input.
