Lightroom import using Add and managing catalogs

I have a set of pictures from a while ago that was on my main computer that needed to be worked on. I exported them asa catalog into a usb stick and then imported into my laptop as a catalog. However I did not realize that the "add" was selected instead of the "copy or move" while importing the catalog. I have since done a lot of work to the set of pictures after ejecting the usb stick. Now I am not sure how I can sync/export my pictures as a catalog so that I can put it back on my main computer.
I am assuming that when I did the add- It only added previews to the laptop version of my laptop. I dont understand how I was allowed to continue working on my images with the usb stick ejected. I am not sure how to proceed so that I havent lost my work.
Additionally, How do I ensure that the default setting for imprt is always copy instead of add ?
Thanks in advance

If you could work on the files in Develop there is two choices. 1 - the files are on your HD, to locate them, right click one and select "show in finder/explorer" or "show in folder in library". 2 - you have Smart Previews which allow offline working. This will show like this - the small rectangles in the corner
Let us know which it is and we can give a solution.

Add-On Start using Add-On Manager, show a timeout message but runs.

Hi,
All the time that our addOn is running, if I go to the Add-On Manager it appears with status failed and we can't stop it thru the manager (with the Stop button).
Some knows how to inform SBO that the addOn is running (any method call, etc.)
Thanks in advance,
Oscar.

Cant import using Log and Transfer to FCE 4.0.1 from Panasonic DMC-TZ10

Does anyone know if/how I can import into FCE 4.0.1 using Log and Transfer? I use Log and Transfer with my Sony HDR XR200VE Video Camera but when I try this with the Panasonic DMC-TZ10 I can play the clips in the Log and Transfer Clip viewer however they don't import after I add them to the queue. It just gives me an ! icon and gives up.
I guess I need to know if there is a combination of camera settings and Codecs I can choose that will allow me to successfully import into FCE 4.0.1 using Log and Transfer.
The settings I can choose on the DMC-TZ10 camera are the Rec Mode (Either AVCHD Lite (GPS Rec), AVCHD Lite, or Motion JPEG) and the Rec Quality SH, H or L).
iPhoto 09 and iMovie 09 will automatically import video from this camera if I choose Motion JPEG and H on the DMC-TZ10

Log and transfer only supports AVCHD. It does not support AVCHD Lite, nor will it work with Motion JPEG media. You could use third party software to convert it, or iMovie and then export a QuickTime movie from there in the correct codec and format.

Were you ever able to get this resolved? We have the same issue.
Resolved, yes, to a point. After doing some extensive reading, I was able to determine that our fatal assumption was that the podcast media files would be hosted by Apple. According to at least one source, Apple has not offered hosting to new iTunesU accounts since January 2009.
Therefore, the reason we did not have a button for "Upload and Manage Files" is because there was no place for us to upload them to.
I have successfully attached feeds from both MobileMe and Podamatic and we are in the process of setting up our OS X Server with Podcast Producer. We will host the feeds locally and make them available through iTunes U, blogs and other channels.

Can Lightroom import/use Camera Raw saved settings from Photoshop CS2?

Before getting LR, I used CS2. I would load my CR2 files from my cam into CS2 and Camera Raw would pop up for raw editing. I would edit the photos, but sometimes save the settings to a XMP file. Those files would then be available for any raw photo, i just had to select that setting.
Is there any way to import those saved settings files into LR? There's just text in them, what about importing the text somewhere? I dunno... I really want to use these settings files in LR!!
Also, If I change things to a photo in LR, does it have a similar save-the-edit feature like camera raw?
Thanks!!

If you import images with those side car files, you'll get those settings automatically. If you've already imported the images without the side cars somehow, you can put the side cars back and do read metadata from files.

Backup policy on Grid, using RMAN and Recovery Catalog.

Hello Gurus,
I'm trying to move ahead the new features of Oracle 10g in my company. So I've already created Grid Control and will deploy Agents/Targets during the next week. I also want to switch the backup process from the archaic exp/imp to RMAN with the Recovery Catalog.
My question is such: could anybody suggest the best book or text with solutions and descriptions of backup policy, using the Grid, RMAN and Catalog? What I want to do is to create eventually the powerful and centralized storage of every database in a company and do all daily routine from there. But as long as I'm only in the very beginning I want to gain some knowledge before the bad experience, like crashed recovery catalog and no backups for all databases :-)))
Definitely I'll keep existing imp/exp and hotbackup for a long time. I'm not going to substitute all our backup strategy with one catalog. I just want to understand what will be the best practice in the backup perspective.
And at all, I wonder if you please could give me very brief answer to this question: Let's say I have a huge monster with 5 disks by 500Gb RAD0+1. Is it a bad idea to store all of them in one physical machine before they will tape to backup or it could make sense? For me it sounds a bit scary, but probably if all made with the brain it's not a bad idea?
Please, send me to some valuable and good source (like Tom Kyte or Don Burleson) Unfortunately, I didn't find anything regard the backups itself. Only pretty much general thought.
Thanks a lot in advance.
M.

great!
thanks a lot!
this is definitely valuable info and I'll read right away. but as far as understand they suggest to use Data Guard, Standby and RAC which are the best ways to prevent your environment from crash. But in reality (I mean in my company) nobody is going to move to RAC at this point and I'm not sure, that they will have a chance to do in the next year. they just aren't up to it.
what I'm looking for is probably some tips and hints about backups in more or less big environment, but not as big as Oracle itself :-) unfortunately, i'm the only DBA in my surrounding. i mean, i have no friends or mentors DBAs that could seat with me in a pub and pass theirs knowledge from generation to generation :-)))
but anyway, I'll devote this week-end to this link.
thanks a lot!

Very very slow import using LOG and Transfer

I am using a CANON VIXAIA HF10.and the clips are importing very very slow. The max time on each clip is only 5 min or so. Is there a way to speed this up? Thanks.

Log and transfer only supports AVCHD. It does not support AVCHD Lite, nor will it work with Motion JPEG media. You could use third party software to convert it, or iMovie and then export a QuickTime movie from there in the correct codec and format.

[SOLVED] - Thunderbird constantly crashing, especially when using Add Ons Manager, but sometimes just when the program has been sitting open.

Hello,
I was using Thunderbird earlier today when the power went out in my neighborhood. Since the power has been restored Thunderbird has been crashing early and often. I can't get the program to open unless I rename or delete the "extensions" folder in ~\Library\Thunderbird\Profiles\<Profile Name>
It will crash immediately if I go to Tools--> Addons. Eventually it will just crash from just sitting open in the background. I've attached the crash report below. I'm on OSX 10.10.1
I've tried deleting and reinstalling Thunderbird (both the current and previous version)
I've tried repairing permissions
I've tried using Time Machine to restore the entire Profiles folder from before the power outage.
Any suggestions? I've been using Thunderbird for years and I'm quite comfortable with it, but might have to switch to Postbox if I can't fix this.
Thanks.

>Registration information is located in the Windows registry, in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Adobe/Lightroom/1.0/Registration key folder for Lr 1.x
Make sure you don't delete any of the database/catalog files. The only file you might need to delete or remove is the preference file.
Note: database files were created by Lightroom version 1.0 and use the extension lrdb. Subsequent versions use catalog files for the same purpose and have the extension lrcat

If you don't mind losing some if not all of the work you have done already start a new catalog.
To keep all existing work:
Make sure that the copied NEF files on the external have the same folder structure as previous.
Copy the Lr4 catalog to the external and launch it on the laptop by double clicking it. A copy of the catalog will get upgraded for Lr5. This will retain all your work although you will need to reconnect the Folders in the Catalog by pointing them to the new drive.
You can keep th Catalog on the EHD or move it to the Laptop.....

Prevent Lightroom importing JPG JPEG

How can I make Lightroom import only RAW and not JPG files? (Some camera's require you to save a JPG next to a RAW to generate the best preview on the camera LCD)

Most cameras that shoot Raw offer the option to shoot Raw+JPG, or Raw only - but not all. My little LX1 is one that does not give the option, so I get this same issue.
If you are using some other method to get the image files into your computer first, and then using the Add option to put them into LR, then you can just leave out these JPGs at that earlier point. However, IMO it is more convenient to have LR do the importing as a single operation. The idea of manually deleting the JPGs from the camera card before safely copying the pictures into the PC, scares me too much to contemplate doing that.
LR does not offer any simple built-in solution here, except by selecting the option to show Raw and JPG as separate images instead of pairing them up (which is what people sometimes do actively want). Then the JPG can be either deleted after import, or else de-selected in the Import dialog and not included in the first place.
If you delete the unwanted JPG, outside LR, after import, LR will not complain - but may continue to (informationally) report the image concerned as "Raw+JPG", even though that is no longer the case physically.
I don't have LR in front of me now, but I am pretty sure there is a sort order option for the Import screen. So if you can separate the images on your camera card by their filetype, and if you know that there are no JPGs on that camera card that you want to import into LR, you can easily highlight the Raw files as a group - and then proceed to Import just those into the computer.
Or: if you are interested in shooting Raw only, you can set your camera JPG settings to the fewest available JPG megapixels and the lowest possible saving quality. This makes a dramatic difference to the JPG file size, and they may well then be accepted as doing no real harm (not treating them as separate images in that case, just as non-functional sidecar files).

How do I REMOVE an ADD-ON from my TOOLBAR, when said ADD-ON does NOT show up in my ADD ONS Manager?

I have been instructed to:
"When you open Firefox up in the left hand corner there is a drop down box that says "Firefox". Click on this and go to add-ons a new page will open with tabs on the side.
Click on ADD-ONS, use ADD-ON Manager...."
That does not happen that way. (I am on Firefox 19.0 for MAC.)
When I click on Firefox (left hand corner at top of screen) "ADD-ONS" does NOT appear.
I get "preferences" and "services" plus, of course ABOUT/HIDE/SHOW/QUIT choices.
Running through ALL choices in PREFERENCES (which was not included as a step in your description) I find NO WAY to "deal with" ADD-ONS in General, Security, Privacy or Advanced.
"services" says only NO SERVICES APPLY"
I KNOW that I have an "ADD-ON Manager" I can open that. The ADD-ON that I need to REMOVE/Uninstall/Disable does NOT show there.
It is an ICON on the lowest level of my toolbars showing above my window. Whether this is an awesome bar, or any other specially named bar I can't tell you, but: LOWEST section.
This creepy ADD-ON (that I never personally installed) is called PRICEGONG - and it is now opening up a pop-up on all my eBay pages and elsewhere -trying to sell me things.
It is wasting SO much of my time and I need to get it gone.
WHAT do I do now? The PRICEGONG company has explanation of what to do to uninstall, but (no surprise) THEIR instructions/steps do not match reality either. RESULT: I can't get RID of this thing and am wasting huge amounts of time now with it.
WHAT CAN I DO?

hello, the addons manager is exactly the right place to look for it. please try disabling the addons that are listed there one-by-one (a restart of the browser might be necessary after each step). maybe one of them is bundling this kind of adware.

Importing a table and its index statistics, cannot import index stats

Hi,
Oracle 10.2.0.4 on Solaris.
I have DBA to imprt tables and index statistics for a table from prod into QA for further analysis. The stats for this table are locked in prod
DBA has used the following command for export and import table statistics
exec dbms_stats.export_table_stats('SCHEMA','TABLE',null,'TABLE_20130225',null,true,'INV');
exec dbms_stats.import_table_stats('SCHEMA','TABLE',null,'TABLE_20130225',null,true,'SCHEMA');Although cascade is set to true above, this resulted in "only table stats" to be imported no index stats. So we have imported the prod table level stats but no index stats! FYI, the indexes in prod have stats (last_analyzed) set.
Next DBA tried the export and import using export_index_stats and import_index_stats but no luck. DBA advising me that the only option we have is to import the table itself from prod to QA. It seems that import with cascade does not work.
Is this a bug in 10g or there is another way around to get index statistics as well?
Thanks

Using this option is equivalent to running the GATHER_INDEX_STATS Procedure on each of the table's indexes.

Open Pictures folder and move the files named lrcat-journal and lrcat.lock to Desktop.
Make sure that , they are not inside Pictures folder any more and try to open backup from Lighrtroom and check..
Any LRcat file with .lock extension , move it to Desktop.
