Lightroom is creating a "previews" folder for me and is destroying my files

LLightroom is running extremely slow because it's generating a "previews" folder in my library! I literally have to boot Lightroom once it happens! horrible workflow and I'm getting nothing accomplished! HELP NOW!!!!!! This is ridiculous!

Lightroom will build previews when you are looking at the files in library when they are needed if you do not build them when you first import. If you want just the embeded previews and not have previews built at import then set the following in the import dialog. This will slow you down later on when you are scanning the library as previews are needed and they are not prebuilt. Get used to the preview files as they are unavoidable.

Is there a way I can create a folder for storage and put on desktop?

What you can do is move them into a sub folder where they are all grouped into one icon. Gets them off your screen, sort of.

FM import into RH project creates a separate folder for every FM chapter

I am importing a FM book into RH 9 to create a new help project. RH creates a separate folder for every FM chapter! The folder contains the html and CSS. This is messy and useless since all html will point to a single help CSS for the project. It will be tedious to move all the html topics to one folder plus I will lose the FM link for future updates.
Did I miss a step in the import that controls how the project is created in RH?

Yes, this is deliberate - in fact most people want to sub-divide their .fm files into even finer topics - that's what the pagination setting in the Conversion Settings screen is for. Why do you want them all to be mashed together anyway?
I've only heard of one other poster wanting to stuff all their FM content into one folder - try searching the forums. I seem to remember there were a bunch of suggestions to things to do from either the FM end of things or the RH side.
The reason why Adobe did it this way was to give you individual control over the CSS to be applied to individual topics (even if most of us just apply a common one across the board in the SSL recipe when we create our help).

How do I create a new Folder for each test report based on Serial number?

I want to be able to create a new folder for each test report based on serial number. Each time a UUT is tested, I want the report to go to the appropriate folder. What is the best way to do this?
Thanks

Hello Tman,
This is a slightly tricky question. The reason being, the report options like the report path etc, are set before you see the serial number prompt when you run your UUT. There might be other ways of getting around this, but a quick solution would be modifying the process model.
I modified the PreUUT callback to set the report options. I passed the reportOptions as a parameter to this sequence. In the PreUUT sequence, I set the following fields:
Parameters.ReportOptions.GeneratePath=False
Parameters.ReportOptions.ReportFilePath= "c:\\"+ Locals.SerialNumber +"\\report.xml"
I hope this would give you an idea.

Create a smart folder for images imported "TODAY"

Is it possible to create a smart folder for images imported today? The only close option I have been able to find is by selecting the "import session" option, but that forces me to select from a series of sessions that have already been imported. I'd like to be able to have a single folder, day after day of what I imported today almost like the iPhoto "last roll" folder. Possible?

There is a Filter Rule "Import Session" but as implemented (as you discovered) it isn't easy to use.
What I do is:
. add "Import Session" to the "List -- Expanded View" Metadata Overlay
. click "Photos"
. change to List
. change to Expanded Overlay if needed
. click the column header "Import Session" (note that this adds "Import Session" to the sort drop-down)
. change back to Grid view as needed
I use this to confirm imports, and to find any that I mis-placed.
HTH.

I want to use my Time Capsule as a central 'hub/hard-drive' in order to keep all my working files in one place. I then plan to use my laptops/desktops as peripheral devices for editing and creation of these files. Is it possible? Create a personal cloud?

Can someone advise as to whether i can do the following:
                            Future Internet connection -------------------TIME CAPSULE (containing all files) -------------- Backed up on the WD 2T Hard-drive I have

I am looking to have all my files in one place as i am hopelessly disorganised. I know the online clouds are a good solution (used Dropbox at work and uni for 3 years) however i am wanting to create my own 'dropbox/icloud' at home. So whenever i get back home with my laptop, any work i have been working on whilst out that day is updated to the timecapsule, and then ultimately as i turn on the other devices, they update to those newer versions of the files. Please tell me that the 3TB time capsule i have can do this, otherwise it feels rather overpriced as a wireless storage device?
Another note (to those in the know) If i am to be working on large files (REVIT/SOLIDWORKS/KEYSHOT/CREO/AUTOCAD) - is the timecapsule connection good enough to support editing and updating these files?
I know i may be asking a question that many have before, but as a bit of a technical novice I wanted a clear-cut answer to my specific circumstances. Your help is greatly appreciated.
(*can i use this WD hard-drive that is connected to the Time Capsule as a back up? so that the time machine back-ups/any back ups are also backed up onto this one? can the WD be a backup for the TC?)
Kind Regards
Joe

The diagram was supposed to look more like this......

Shared home folder for OSX and Windows

Hello,
I am wondering if it is possible to have a shared home folder for Windows and OSX.
We have an AD and ODS. Is this possible, if it is, using CIFS?
Hope hearing from anyone
Best Regards.

hallo victor,
thanks for your answer. unfortunately this does not solve my problem. my sap landscape is more complex.
there are several sap installations in diverent windows domains and some are on as/400 (and there is another windows domain) all are in different networks and are protected by firewall. furthermore there is a rule (maybe some exceptions are allowed) that there must not be qntc connections over these firewalls.
with a shared folder between a windows workstation in one network and an as/400 in another network it works fine. but as a mentioned first - there is the problem with the sapservice<sid> userid which is to long for as/400 environment. I think there must be a tricky solution (hope so).
kind regards
helmut

Which product should I buy? I want to create vintage/retro posters for band and Bar

which product should I buy? I want to create vintage/retro posters for band and Bar

Good day!
Instead of buying right away you may want to avail yourself of the free 30 day trial first to see which program fits your needs.
Photoshop and Photoshop Elements may be worth a try.
If you intend to create more graphic/typographic designs Illustrator may be worth looking into, too.
Someone else may have more/other recommendations, though.

HT2477 Are documentS created with Microsoft office for windows and Microsoft office for mac are compatible with each other

Are documents created with Microsoft office for windows and Microsoft office for mac are compatible with each other?

As with a lot of software, it depends on the version of Word, and what features the author used.
Technically, Office 2010 for Windows and 2011 for Mac are supposed to be feature compatible. As are Office 2007 for Windows, and 2008 for Mac.
However, if a person using Office 2010 / 2011 used a feature that only exists in that version and sends the file to someone using Office 2007 / 2008, they would very likely have trouble opening the file, or having it display as intended.

How to creat a preview picture for a widget?

Thanks for reading....Some widgets show a preview picture when you click(select) it in the library panel, like the Meta+ Lite widget(http://muse.adobe.com/exchange-library/meta-43-lite). How to do that? I cann't find anything about how to creat a preview picture in MuCow Documentation(http://adobe-muse.github.io/MuCowDocs/).

It's a little tricky but if you follow these steps you should be ok, first download and install 7zip since you will need it. Then do the following:
1. Export your mucow file out as a mulib (muse library file). If you don't know how to do this read this pastebin.
2. Once exported out you should delete the folder you just made.
3. Right click on the exported mulib file on your hard-drive and choose from the popup menu: 7-zip/Open Archive.
4. Inside you should see 3 files like the following (in this case I named my mucow "demo"):
manifest.xml
demo.muse
demo.png
You'll notice you have a PNG file in your archive BUT it is empty. So what you need to do is leave 7-zip open and create your PNG in photoshop or whatever program you use. Make sure to name it the exact name in the archive (in my case demo.png)... a good size is 210x98 px. Save out your PNG and drag it on-top of the PNG in your archive and it will be saved. You can then close 7-zip.
You can then import your mulib file into the muse library panel and you should see your widget now has that PNG you created as a thumbnail image.
-hope this helps!!
