List View in library mode

Please add a list view option, to display thumbnail and text information(metadata) on the right... this is a more readable way when we are looking for metadata on all the images at the same time (like aperture Does)

I have made this request since Lightoom 1, but adobe doesn't see the need for it. I think it is a very useful feature. The digital asset manager application have it. And Lightroom claims to help manage assets!

List View like Library

Hello All,
Can we create a list view similar like Library Palette. If so which widget needs to be added on the palette.
Basically we would like to show multiple columns as in library palette and allow the user to select one or multiple cells from the widget. As when we select a particular cell it selects the full row.
If anyone has tried this, please do let me know.
Thank you for all the help in Advance.
Regards,
Farzana.

Hello All,

Thank you all in advance.

Date View in Library Mode. . .

I selected a date in the meta data secton, while in the library expecting the shots that I took on that day to pop up, they did not, is this the way lightroom is designed to work? It would be nice to see all the shots captured on a single day.
Second, do any of you rename your Folders in lightroom once you import? I get all kinds of crazy titles and I'd prefer to have my Folders section listed by topic or subject rather than date, and sub folder information.
In fact im not even sure sometimes why a certain folder name shows up in the Folders after I import.
Final question, i'm trying to back up to dvd my shots from the day. I want to be able to put all the images on to a DVD but after I import them it is sometimes hard to find them. I shoot maybe 5-10 or more different subjects in a shoot, or on one card, so the question is how do I find all files and burn them to a DVD for backup?
Thanks for any advise you can give.
PS, I love the program, it's is awesome and has helped me shorten my PP time a lot.
One final comments/question, if you "EXPORT" from the library do you guys delete the export shots after you burn them or are done with them as you can always save it as a Quick Collection and re export it later if you like, or is there a way to export and have the images stacked with the originals.
Sorry for all the questions, but the book I purchased on lightroom, while helpful lacks a lot of the practicle stuff I need to know.
Thanks again, Tony

List View shows all tracks of CD, grid view is missing tracks

I imported all my CDs into my iTunes library over the holidays. Over 40 GB of music. Now, I discover a flakey problem. On a CD, if I view via list view, the library shows 13 tracks. When switching to grid view and double-clicking on album, it shows tracks 1,2,4,6,9,12
When I use windows explorer, the iTunes folder only shows tracks 1,2,4,6,9,12. Yet I can play all 13 tracks on PC and iPod. Where are the 'missing' tracks being stored and why don't they show in both views? This is happening on quite a lot of the CDs that were imported, but others are fine.

This is most likely due to the content of the ID3 tags in the imported files. If a track features more than one artist, iTunes uses the first artist in the list to sort and organise the files. So one or more files imported from a CD might be stored in another artist's folder. iTunes plays the full album because it knows where all the tracks are (by virtue of the iTunes library database).
To get around this problem, edit the information for all the tracks on an album so the the "Artist" tag has the main artist first in the list.

LR not seeing my external drive in Library Mode but does at Import

Hi Team,
I filled up a WD drive and got a new Seagate drive that I've put the last few batches of photos on. Wanting to visit a few photos on the WD drive (that remained in the same USB port as always), I noticed LR wasn't listing it in Library Mode. If I hit Import, it lists it and acts like none of the images have ever been imported before.
I also have a 3rd larger drive that backed up the WD drive. In library mode, LR does see that drive.
I am wondering how I can get the WD drive located by LR again ensuring that my edits to the images are there as well.
FYI, I did do a catalog backup of the Seagate drive. Perhaps that new catalog only backed up the Seagate drive and can't see the WD drive? (but then why would the larger backup drive...)
Thanks for any help you can lend.
Daniel

Thanks for the reply. I have imported and edited tons of images from the WD drive. So definitely been imported from before. It shows up nowhere on the list. Not as the original drive I had been using, nor as a drive with ?s. Somehow, though, my other 2 drive letters/names did change. One I was able to point to the old location. The other is asking me if I want to combine/merge as the folder already exists. I cancelled this request.
I did try to use the previous catalog from File-Open Recent. None of the drives showed up. No collections,etc. So I went back to the latest catalog. Same issue exists.
Thanks so much.

In Lightroom 3 I am in Library mode in the Grid View and need to rearrange images, but it is not allowing me to move them.

In Lightroom 3 I am in Library mode in the Grid View and need to rearrange images, but it is not allowing me to move them.

I don't do a lot of dragging to custom arrange my images. But the custom order is right at the bottom of the list of sort orders on my computer.
Added later: But don't worry about the custom order. It doesn't make any difference on my system. Are you sure you are dragging the image itself, and not the border around the image?

Grey thumbnail, grey loupe view-- no photograph displayed in library mode

When I import a new batch of photographs my library mode, both in grid and loupe view will not show my new photographs. And not that it just takes a bit of time to load-- the picture will not show, only gray. This has only happened in the last month or so. Previously everything worked well.
To get my pictures showing I have to go to develop mode and view them. The loading is taking considerably longer than it used to as well. I've been into my preference pane and can't see what to do. As per a tutorial I upped my "Camera Raw Cache Settings" to 50 GB. The problem hasn't coincided with this change however. I don't know what is going on but I am frustrated to have all photos load but not show up in Grid or Loupe mode.
Any ideas? I have over 7,000 photos in library. I've validated and checked library and it comes back okay.
Thanks for your help.
My computer is a newer 27" imac so I should have plenty of juice to run the program. Hard drive space isn't an issue as I have a 1TB.

Sounds like a corrupted preview cache. Let's test that theory. Close LR. Find your catalog on your hard drive, and rename the Previews.lrdata or move it to another location - you can delete it later when we know the new one's ok. Now restart LR, go to Grid view, select all and go to Library menu > Previews > Render Standard Previews. Hopefully that'll bring back your previews and if everything looks correct, you can then delete the previous one.

After selecting an image in Library mode (grid view), my selection of image jumps to another image.

Through several versions of Lightroom, I have encountered this problem. I choose an image in Library mode while in Grid view and the image jumps to another that I have not chosen. This happens about 75% of the time. Does anyone else have this problem? Does anyone know of a remedy. I am using a Mac.

You are using the Option key to access the Library under the Go finder Menu?
Click in the Go menu the hold the Option key and you will see Library appear, otherwise is is hidden.

Adding "Filter Criteria" to the XSLT List View Web Part impact on "Export to Excel" functionality within Document Library

Hi there,
XSLT List View displaying all the list items within the Document Library. In order to implement the Search functionality within Document library out of box "Text Filter" web part is configured as explained below. The solution is similar to
the one suggested at
http://www.wonderlaura.com/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=77
"Text Filter" Web Part added to the page.
Filter Criteria (i.e., XSLT List View columns) added to the XSLT List View where the filter parameters take the input from the "Text Filter" Web Part .
3. Both Web Parts (XSLT List View and the Text Filter) are connected.
When the search criteria is entered into the "Text Filter" Web Part, it is passed to the relevant Columns of the XSLT List View and the documents (List Items) that match the search criteria are shown within XSLT List View.
Search functionality working as expected.
Query: Selecting the "Export to Excel" icon from the ribbon generates the excel spread sheet with no data except Column Titles from the Document library. In the investigation it is
found that adding the 'Filter Criteria' on XSLT List View is causing this bug. When the Filter Criteria is removed, then "Export to Excel" functionality is working as expected.
But it is mandatory to add "Filter Criteria" to implement the search functionality with in the document library.
Help: Help/input appreciated on the work around to get the "Export to Excel" functionality work when the "Filter Criteria"
exist on the XSLT List View.
Regards,

Once again thanks very much for your help Scott. very much appreciated.
In the investigation it is found that removing the 'Filter Criteria' on XSLT List View makes the "Export to Excel" functionality work. But the 'Filter Criteria' is mandatory to get the 'Document Search' functionality.
I think that due to technical limitations it should be concluded that 'only custom development can make all work, no code solutions using the SharePoint Designer can meet all the requirements.
If you can think of any alternative solution that could help in resolving the current issue or fix the issue without any custom implementation please inform. Otherwise this issue would be marked as resolved with your suggested response.

Expanding Folders in "list" view mode.

How can I expand as well as close folders when viewing them in the "list" view mode, all in one stroke as opposed to having to expand each folder one at a time?

Neither did I until XChip73 asked the question. I decided to see if the Mac OS X programmers had put that functionality into the Finder. A little experimentation found that they had.
In any case you are quite welcome captfred. What are you captain of?

Sort/order contexts in universe List View Mode

Is there a way to sort or order contexts in universe List View Mode?
Thanks

Hi,
There is no way to order the contexts in universe list view mode.
If you want to have a specific order I suggest that you prefix all contexts by a number such as "1 - context name1", "2 - context name2", etc.

Bring stripes in list view mode please!

I don't know what happened! I lost the stripes (the alternated light blue line) in list view mode in Finder and in Mail and iTunes and every program that uses some sort of list view.
I tried to use this command
$ defaults write com.apple.finder FXListViewStripes -bool TRUE
$ killall Finder
but it didn't work... please help it's driving me nuts

Ok now the strangest things is that the stripes appear when i switch in dashboard, and they disappaear once the shadow of dashboard is gone. It's crazy, the stripes appear only if a shadow is over them. Even in a picture of a supposed striped list view, the light blue color doesn't appear until i use dashboard (I'm starting to think there's something wrong with the graphic card rather than finder)

List view only for shared library?

Could someone help please, i have a imac with all my content on it and i am using a mac mini in my living room, i have itunes9 and home sharing turned on but when i am viewing my imac library on my mac mini it only lets me view my music in list view no cover flow or column view, is this something i am doing wrong or does itune9 not allow this option thanx.

As soon as I finished typing my last reply and hit send - I realised that there is a workaround for your problem.
First, go into your iTunes preferences on your Mac Mini, and change the settings to NOT "Keep iTunes Media Folder Organised", and NOT "Copy files to ITunes media folder when adding to library".
Now, share your iTunes folder through File Sharing on your iMac. Access this file share (not through iTunes), on your Mac Mini, and drag all of your content into your Mac Mini iTunes library.
This will add everything into the library as a shortcut, but not copy the actual files. This way, you can scroll through them all with Cover Flow, or Grid, as iTunes will think that they are local files, rather than a shared library.
I hope this makes sense?

Doc Library List View Row Checkbox Unable to Select or Check

I have code behind that adds webparts to a page. An example of the code is show below.
# web is an SPWeb object
# wpMgr is the web part manager
# Get the list
SPList list = web.Lists["Document Library"];
# Create the list view webpart
XsltListViewWebPart lvwp = new XsltListViewWebPart()
ListId = list.ID,
Title = "Documents",
ViewGuid = list.DefaultView.ID.ToString(),
XmlDefinition = list.DefaultView.GetViewXml()
# Add the list view webpart to the page
wpMgr.AddWebPart(lvwp, "Main", 0);
Problem:
The issue we are having is only with document libraries. When we try to select the document library in the list view by selecting the checkbox, the item appears to be checked, but when you move the cursor away from the row, the checkbox is no longer selected.
This issue is found in Firefox and IE. I'm getting a js error in the core.js file's CountSelectedItems(a) function, shown below.
function CountSelectedItems(a) {
ULSrLq:;
if(a.CurrentSelectedItems==null) a.CurrentSelectedItems=0;
return a.CurrentSelectedItems}
The js error is "Unable to get property 'CurrentSelectedItems' of undefined or null reference". So I read this as the object a being null.
Workaround:
If you edit the webpart and click on "OK", it seems to refresh something and this is no longer an issue.
Solution:
I've tried the ListViewWebPart as well, but that didn't work for me either. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
-Gunjan

We experienced the exact same issue and resolved it by using the code below.
In short are we trimming the ParameterBinding from White spaces before adding the webpart. After adding the webpart we update an unimportant property and save back the changes. The strange thing is that this code used to work previously before we added the
"fixup". With this solution you can keep the Group by clause in the CAML Query.
Please mark as answer if it solves your problem.
SPLimitedWebPartManager webPartManager = web.GetLimitedWebPartManager(pageUrl, PersonalizationScope.Shared);
XsltListViewWebPart XsltWebPart = new XsltListViewWebPart();
SPList list = web.Lists[listName];
XsltWebPart.ListId = list.ID;
XsltWebPart.ViewGuid = list.Views[viewName].ID.ToString("B").ToUpperInvariant();
XsltWebPart.XslLink = XslLinkUrl;
XElement el = XElement.Parse("<root>" + XsltWebPart.ParameterBindings + "</root>");
var reader = el.CreateReader();
reader.MoveToContent();
string trimmedBindind = reader.ReadInnerXml();
XsltWebPart.ParameterBindings = trimmedBindind;
webPartManager.AddWebPart(XsltWebPart, zoneId, zoneIndex);
int wpIndex = webPartManager.WebParts.IndexOf(XsltWebPart);
var xwp = (Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.XsltListViewWebPart) webPartManager.WebParts[wpIndex];
xwp.ExportMode = WebPartExportMode.All;
webPartManager.SaveChanges(xwp);

I seem to have lost "list view" for my iTunes library. The option doen't even appear on the view drop down. Any conncection to iCloud?

I seem to have lost the ability to select list view for my iTunes library. The choice for lst view doesn't even appear on the drop down when selectiogn "view". Any ideas? I recently enabled the cloud and subscribed to iTunes Match/ Any connection? Thanks/

See this thread for background on why iTunes can end up with duplicates and how they can be systematically removed. The script there is for Windows users and the "show duplicates" menus have moved around in iTunes 11, but the advice on clearing recently made duplicates should still hold.
As given in my older post "Reorganize library" is meant as a one time command to change the structure of a pre-iTunes 9 library into the newer layout that places music in its own subfolder of the media folder. Once used, if the option becomes available again that suggests that a file called .iTunes Preferences.plist in the media folder has been deleted or editied.
