Link to source folder broken

Hi everyone
I have just upgraded my Mac and the folder generated when I imported to lightroom now has a new location.
Hence all my images in lightroom are displayed with broken links.
Is there a simple way to re-establish the link?
The folder content remains unaltered its just that it is in a different place.
I can go though each image but there are 1000s.
Previous location: /Volumes/PDHD-01/01-LIGHTROOM ARCHIVE/ etc
Its the PDHD01 part of the thread that I need to replace.

Pete
Thank you for your prompt response and apologies for the delay in getting back to you.
I am unsure how to actually proceed with your advice.
I have a screen full of images with '?' symbols and although I can click on one image and re-establish a route to the source folder I do not know how to access all the subfolders with their images in one go.
The Lightroom prompts only seem to allow for one file at a time.
There is a ticked box at the bottom of the page which states 'Find nearby missing photos' but it only relinks the image files on the one folder.
I have 3000+ images on loads of separate folders...
So the question is - and I apologise if this is an obvious question - how do I gain access to the functions that will re-link all the subfolders with their image files in the main folder?
you state... Right click (or cttr click) on the highest level folder location shown as missing.... I just do not know where to click to find this..
Thanks for your patience..
Peter

Place linked, any way to update several layers at once when changing location of source files? (i.e. moving source folder to different location/computer)

I have a PS file whic I wanna use as template for several works. I've got several layers containing external images which have been "placed linked" and which are organised in a single folder in my computer. I believe the links are saved as absolute therefore if I copy the PSD file and the source images folder into a different computer (or even if I move the source folder to a different location in the same computer) all smart objects have to be relinked one by one!!! any way to do it all at once (as I guess it is the case in Premiere and AE) assuming they're all in the same folder???
Also similar question when renaming all source images, any way PS can link to specific file and keep the link even if a name change happens?
If possible it'd be a huge time saver!
Thanks

anyone any help? Thx!

Is there any hope of apple adding a 're-link with media folder'-type function to iTunes?

Is there any hope of apple adding a 're-link with media folder'-type function to iTunes?
I have 1000s of broken links after installing the latest version of iTunes and updating some files in my media folder. The location of my itunes library has not changed, and all the files are there (I know because I've just waited several hours for the files to be updated by my ultra-slow computer) - by my logic, there should be some menu option that simply re-synchronises with the media folder, just like itunes would do with an ipod - it can't be that hard can it? The only way I can restore a link is by clicking every song (I have over 28,000) and locating the file in the folder that iTunes claims to use as its media folder - the new version 10 option of then using this location to restore all broken links doesn't work because it only looks in the specific album file, and after a couple of times this dialog box no longer even comes up, so I couldn't ask it to do this even if I wanted to. At the moment the only option I can see is to completely wipe iTunes and re-load all my music from scratch - using my tired and over-worked computer this will realistically take around 15 hours that I don't have, and my computer will melt in the process. I wish I'd never tried to 'tidy up' my iTunes library...
PLEASE Apple, how hard can it be to have a function that searches for and restores broken links by itself????? I've told you where the music is - just flipping look for it yourself instead of getting me to do it!

You don't have to re-rip, re-import or re-download all your content. You can clear the iTunes library, either by selecting all in the libary and pressing the Delete key, saying "no" when it asks if you want to remove the files themselves, and then use the Add To Library command, selecting the iTunes Media folder (or iTunes Music folder, as applicable to your situation), and that will add back all your content. It shouldn't take more than a few minutes; if it does, something may be amiss with your hard drive or the library file is corrupted (in which case just delete the library file and re-do the Add To Library command).

Query EUL tables: I need a list of Workbooks and thier BA Source Folder.

I'm working with Disco 4, but this should apply to all versions.
How do I link the EUL tables together in a query to get the workbook name and it's source folder in the Business Area?
Example: Table EUL4_Documents has all the Workbooks, and EUL4_OBJS has the Business Area folders. How do I Link these tables together?
Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike
You cannot do this. The EUL4_Workbooks folder does indeed contain the workbooks but they are stored in a LONG RAW database column that cannot be accessed using standard SQL. So even if you can read he Business Area folders there is no way to link these back to a workbook I'm afraid.

Michael

Link to A folder View in a PDF Portfolio - feature no longer working - please advise

Hi, I am no longer able to link to a Folder View of a PDF Portfolio:
Within a PDF portfolio i need to link from a PDF to a folder view in the Portfolio. I am using Link Action - Go to Page View.
This used to work for me - very important feature that no longer works. Please advise a workaround.
Steps:
1. Start a PDF Portfolio that contains files and folders
2. Open a PDF in the Portfolio
3. in the opened PDF click Add or Edit Link
4. Define a link area and set it to Go To A Page Vies
5. In the past i have been able to target a Folder View in the Portfolio - ie. direct a user not to a file, but instead to a folder view that contains relevant files. I would do this by setting the Target Page View to my desired folder view
6. This used to work in bringing a user to the folder view i specify. Now it does nothing. If i go back to the PDF and EDIT the Link i see this. File: Parent Document Page 1. This in fact does nothing.
Please advise, am i doing this wrong, it used to work. I have tried several workarounds, with no luck.
thanks!

There's an extension or two, or a combination of extensions which seem to be causing that in Firefox 6.0.2. One that has been mentioned is TabMix Plus.

You need to figure out what is causing it, and disable that extension/s until they are fixed by their developer.

How to create a linked data source with document libraries based on the same template?

I use SharePoint Foundation 2013, SP Designer and Visual Studio 2013 to my needs. But there are several things which i don't get.
I have a number of libraries which use the same template. I want to create a linked data source, that would contain them all, and if I add a library based on this template, the library would be added to the data sorce. Is it possible?
I tried creating linked data souces, but the view that it brings by default is limited(no sorting, etc.). How can it be modified?

How do I select photos in library from the side bar (source) folder?

I have placed photos from the library at different times in a side (source) folder. I now want to delete them. However, they are spread all over the library. If I delete them from the side folder they still remain in library. Is there a way to identify the library photos from the side folder, select and delete them in an easy way, rather than spend hours trying to find them individually?
Thanks, Max

Hi MaxFS,
To delete photos from both an album and the Library
at the same time:
Select the photo/photos in the album
press the Command-Option-Delete keys
this will remove the photo/photos from the library
and all albums it is in.
thanks, very simple, it does the trick. BTW, will the same action work in iTunes?

I can no longer drag a link to a folder -- a Windows folder -- to save it. This feature is (was) very useful as I could save links relevant to my work in the folder for the project.

In previous versions I have been able to drag the icon from the address bar to a Windows folder, producing a clickable link in that folder.
I even have FAQ and Help files on various web sites advising people to do that as it is very useful to have links to web sites in a folder relevant to the content of the folder.

This is very frustrating -- this feature worked in ver. 3, not sure about 4, but now FF 5 has removed it. This is important enough to me to either revert to v. 3 or use Opera (see below).
IE v. 8 has removed it too.
Opera v. 11 will do it -- but it only saves to the desktop and not to folders, so you have to drag the icon to the desktop and then drag it into the folder.
I use this regularly with presentations -- will be doing one next weekend -- and I take it on a USB memory stick to someone else's computer. I can click on a link in the presentation folder and have that page open in their default browser. It does me no good to have the link in my bookmarks back at my office.
If you're going to remove the feature, you might ought to remove the suggestion to use it at:

and

Please restore this feature!

I am getting the following error message when trying to open a link to a folder

"This file is set to be launched by this PDF file. This is currently disallowed by your system administrator."
Currently I am using Reader 9, I was using Reader 7 earlier today and the link opened the folder with no problem. Nothing has been changed on the PDF file containing the link, nothing has been changed in the link, and if I go to another computer in the office that is still running Reader 7 the folder still opens. I also tried another computer in the office running Reader 9, the folder doesn't open, and I get the same error message.
Any ideas on how to fix this issue would be great. Thanks

Hi,
The issue that you are referring to maybe because of a fix provided by Adobe to prevent any external attacks. The following links may be of help to you:
http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb10-15.html
http://news.softpedia.com/news/Adobe-Finally-Fixes-Launch-Bug-145757.shtml
To allow certain files of yours to be able to open external files and operate witout restriction, you can try and add the files to the Privileged locations section and the restrictions on the files will be lifted:
1. Open Adobe Reader 9.4.0 and goto Edit | Preferences
2. From the Left side pane, goto Security (Enhanced)
3. Click on Add File button and add the file for which you want the restrictions to be lifted. Click on OK to close the dialogs and relaunch Adobe Reader. This will enable you to open external attachments as well as allow JavaScripts to be executed from the PDF file mentioned.

UDF to capture the source file name or the source folder for mapping

Hi All,
i have 2 files - File1 from File2 from 2 different folders- single comm channel FTP (FCC). i have to pass a constant A and B respectively to a field in target structure.
my options are -
either create a new field in source str populating different constants and then map to the target str
or a udf to get the source file name or the source folder so that i can map the constant using the value mapping/FixValue mapping.
please suggest. thanks.
rajib

Hi,
please use the UDF to determine the file name. Then based on file name either pass A or B to your target field.
The code is as given below. Just tweak the code to pass either A or B as per your requirement.
public String G_GetFileName(Container container) throws StreamTransformationException{
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
String ourSourceFileName = conf.get(key);
return ourSourceFileName;

Links - How to reorder links within a folder. Also, how to make folders open in a tree view?

I'm working on a portal in Sharepoint 2007. It appears that I can only have one set of "Links" on a page, so I am grouping my related links into folders. I'm having two issues with this...
#1. I need to change the order of the links within a folder. When I try to Change Order under the Actions menu, I only get the main list of links, not those within the folder. How can I reorder links within a folder?
#2. When I click a Links folder, all links go away, except for the links within that folder. Is there any way to make the Links list work in a Tree view?
Sorry for the newbie questions, but I've not worked much in Sharepoint and I had this project dropped on me. :(

Hi,
For Question #1,
refer this link.
Hope it helps!
Thanks,

Get an Error window, The source folder does not contain any supported camera raw files

I am using CS2 and it would not open up my latest RAW files, I was getting a warning Could not complete your request because it is not the right kinds of document. So, I checked the Camera Raw Plug-in and it says Version 3.7. I see that my camera an Olympus E-20 is supported. But it is not opening the Raw files, the day before I took jpeg and they have opened. I will not trash my Adobe Photoshop CS2 because it was a royal pain to install and I don't know where the CD is.
I installed the latest DNG Converter and when I try to open up the folder which has all the RAW images that didn't open in Adobe, I still get an Error window that says, "The source folder does not contain any supported camera raw files." Why? It says it supports my Olympus E-20. I actually have the E-20n, I don't think that is the problem. My RAW icons usually show up as small image thumbnails and this time they are gray icons only with the incorrect date under the icon. Is there another product I can use without spending money? These images I took in RAW were special and I don't want to lose them. Please help!
Esther

Hello, I was using only CS2 with my Olympus E-20n for 5 years, no problem. It just started acting up in RAW this year. I downloaded Picasa that same day and now it seems to be opening up all of my RAW files that didn't open the other day. So, I think Picasa installed a new plug-in adaption to CS2 because now all my RAW icons have a new logo on them, the same one that's in Picasa. Strange, but it works now and I am not complaining anymore. I love CS2 and the many ways I can adjust RAW files, so I am using it, Picasa is a sideline now that I can take a look at many thumbnails and it organized all my photo files by the year and folders. Amazing free software. I have probably 60,000 images in my computer and an external hard drive and Picasa picked them all up and made a library, cool.

URL linking to a folder in

How to a build a url link to a folder in XIR2?

If you mean build a url to link to a folder that exists inside your XIR2 software, you can't. The folders that appear in InfoView or the CMC are not actually physical folders on a server. They are in the data in the CMS database.
If you want to display the reports that are in a specific folder, you'll need to build an application using the BusinessObjects SDK. There are some good examples in the Developer Library - http://devlibrary.businessobjects.com/BusinessObjectsXIR2/en/devsuite.htm. Select:
- BusinessObjects Enterprise SDK
- .NET developer guide and API reference
- Tutorials
- Client Desktop Tutorials
- Starter Tutorial:...
Lesson 4 includes the information for getting the folder list.
