LR should backup (User) Presets when Catalog is backed-up

I discovered that LR does not backup the Presets (including User Presets) when the Catalog is backed-up. This is the case even when "Store Presets with Catalog" is checked in Preferences > Presets Tab. There seems to be no way to back-up the Presets from within LR.
It would be good if the Presets were included in the Catalog backup - at least when the "Store Presets with Catalog" has been checked.

Agreed.
And, not only should the backup include all data, it should be accompanied by a restore that can restore it all...

"Store Presets with Catalog" doesn't move existing presets

Is there a good reason why Lightroom does not offer to move current user presets when the "Store Presets with Catalog" is selected in Preferences>Presets?
If I have set up presets, templates etc. they are all gone without any warning as soon at this inocous little tick box is clicked.

Yes, the behavior is frustrating, goofy and not intuitive. It is alarming to see your user presets appear and disappear when you toggle the option check box on and off.
Not sure if Symbolic links are an option on Windows or not, but I use them on the Mac (instead of the breakable Aliases) along with DropBox. This way you I sync up multiple machines with my precious presets and other user created documents. This solves the problem of syncing DNG and Lens profiles which should but don’t live with the presets. Adobe should fill the preset folder with virtually every user configurable item like DNG profiles and Lens profiles and give us a way to easily keep them in sync.
I only use one catalog. So I have the Store Presets with Catalog on and clone the one drive among others to use with different machines. Symbolic Links take care of the other files but I wish I didn’t have to resort to this approach.

User Presets Compatible Between LR Versions?

I had LR 1.4 with some user presets. However, when I upgraded to LR 2.2, they were gone. Are user presets compatible across all versions of LR? Or, do I need to get ones specific for LR 2.2? And, should the user presets have automatically been picked up during the upgrade process, if they indeed, they are compatible?
Thanks in advance.

My presets were there after the upgrade. 1.x will work in 2.x but not necessarily the other way.

Lightroom 5 catalog. Retrieving user presets and plug-ins.

Got a new Macbook Pro, and all my data from my old Macbook is on my new hard-drive. I transferred my old Lightroom 5 catalog on my new Macbook and when I tried to open it, none of my User Presets nor Plug-ins such as; VSCO were there. How can I get these back? Thanks

Presets are found in your user Library folder. You'll need to open Finder, and click Go, then hold down the Option key to enable "Library" in the menu. Click Library, then follow the path:
/users/yourname/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom/
Within this folder, you'll find subfolders with all your presets and templates. Copying folder by folder is the best way to make sure you get everything you need. Make sure you keep the presets and templates within the exact same folders on the new machine.
Plugins are best migrated by re-installing.

Images should grow or shrink when the user chooses a larger or smaller font size in ADE.

Hi All,
I use percentage values (in "width" attribute within "img" element) for image that should grow or shrink when the user
chooses a larger or smaller font size. The adjustment affects not only the size of the text but also images but the images
are getting distorted or blurred when user chooses larger font size in Adobe Digital Editions.
Can anyone, please guide me; how to get non-distorted and non-blur images in epub package?
If I directly use images, without svg format i.e. png or jpg files, then images get overlapped on body-text in two column display in ADE.
OR
if I directly use jpg or png with width attribute varying in percentage value then image shrinks and grows as user chooses smaller and larger font size but the problem of distorted image remains as it is
<div class="media-group"><img src="images/pa0000016g26001.png or jpg" alt="Image" width="60 or 70%" /></div>
Attached is the package (Book.epub) which has test cases.

Hi DenisonDoc,
There is no option right now to set properties globally primarily for Text fields. You may make sure fields doesn't contain anything.
Select all the text filed from the form and right click any of the selected field make sure all of them are selected choose properties --> Appearance there you can choose Font Size and Font type.
- End users cant change size and type of font. It is up to designer.

HT201250 Will the automatic backups backup the entire disk (even other user accounts), when I'm not logged into those accounts?

Will the automatic backups backup the entire disk (even other user accounts), when I'm not logged into those accounts?
I want to be assured that my back up is working completely. What if my MacBookPro auto-logs off my account during the backup due to no activity? Or, is the backup considered activity and it won't log off?
What about the Energy saving options - will they affect the backup ?

Assuming you mean via Time Machine, yup. It backs up your entire system, including all user accounts (unless you specifically exclude things).
What if my MacBookPro auto-logs off my account during the backup due to no activity? Or, is the backup considered activity and it won't log off?
I've never tried it, but the backups run as the "root" user, so will probably continue. If they don't, it's not a problem, as the next backup will "catch up" with all changes.
What about the Energy saving options - will they affect the backup ?
Not really. If you have the Mac set to shut down at a particular time, that will of course interrupt a backup if one is running. But again, the next backup will catch up.

What type of license should the user be assigned when passing transactions through the DI Server?

What type of license should the user be assigned when passing transactions through the DI Server?
We used to assign indirect access licenses to users that were just using the DI Server. We have one add-on developer that says that the user has to be a Profession license. Current environment is SAP B1 9.0 PL10. My understanding was that you could have up to 10 users assigned to a single DI Server license.

Hi,
From the license guide,
Indirect Access – has access to any SSP solutions (developed with the SAP Business One DI-API) only. The Indirect Access license is bundled with the DI server. Users who have an Indirect Access license can access a limited number of application forms, but cannot perform any functions with the SAP Business One application. Users who have an Indirect Access license can access an unlimited number of SSP solutions

User statuses on notifications should carryover to order when created from

Hi,
I have requriement for user statuses on notifications (IW21/22) should carryover to order when created from notification automatically.
Did anybody worked on this type of scenerios. I already found some userexit (QQMA0014) but i could not able to find any thing related to user status in VIQMEL view.
At the time of creation of notification IW21, when i go for creation of order, User status of notification should copied to order automatically.
Appreciate any help.
Regards
MM

Thanks Anji for your response.Yes there is FM status_read which i can use to get Status but my problem is during creation of order from notification, i don't have notification number so i can't use any database tables to get status for later use. As per requirment, during creation of notification, I can go to order creation. at that time whatever user-status I choose at notifcation, same status should get copied to order. I hope it got clear to you now.
Please suggest.
Regards
MM

I have an iMac 2013 running OSX 10.9.4. I want to use Carbon Copy Cloner to backup user files to an external hard drive to free up space on my iMack Hard drive.
So, say I make the backup today, delete iphoto libraries from my iMac, and then backup my iMac in a week. What happens to the iphoto libraries that are on the external backup drive now that I am backing up the iMac where they no longer exist?
I will have them backed up to a separate second external drive as well.
I'm just very cautious about removing them from the hard drive.
Thanks for helping and understanding my crazy caution!

I'd like to store my Aperture /IMovie Libraries on an external hard drive.
That is fine and recommended.. use the fastest disk you can afford.. ie Thunderbolt>USB3>FW800>USB2.
In addition, I'd like to partition the external hard drive so that Time Machine can use it to both back up my IMac and the external library drives.
Let me be clear.. you want to partition the one disk.. use it for TM and move your files to the external disk.. and then backup to the same disk.. You can do it.. but that is not a backup.. that is an experiment in how long you can get away with running files and backups on the same disk before you lose everything.. like Russian Roulette.. pull the trigger enough times and laws of probability will do you in.
You must have backups on a different disk .. otherwise it is pointless.
Can I set up a RAID 5 format for redundancy?
No.. you can buy special USB and Thunderbolt external drives that support RAID..
BUT that is still not a backup.. let me show why.. you make a silly move and corrupt your file in aperture.. it is not that rare.
Raid will corrupt all copies of the files.. it is replicated across all disks.
Delete a photo it is deleted across all disks.. you have no recovery.
Alway, always consider RAID system one disk.. backup onto another disk.. and if the photos or movies are at all important to you.. ie your family .. make another copy and store in a relatives house.. There is no such thing as too much redundancy.

2.6 won't store presets with catalog

I have all my presets stored in the same directory along with the catalog. After upgrading to 2.6, the user home directory presets folder is used again and as far as I can tell, the checkbox "store presets with catalog" doesn't have any effect.

I disagee. You've already discovered that Web Galleries remain in the default location when you use "Store Presets with Catalog", and there are other things as well which remain in the default location. So if you want to backup your entire Lightroom environment, including settings, now you have to backup not only the Lightroom Settings folder adjacent to the catalog, but also the Lightroom folder in the appdata area of your user profile. It's far simpler to leave everything in the default location (cos you still have to back it up, right), than mess about with backing up partial sets of settings.
Plus, as Sean says, leaving them in the default location means any new catalog (e.g. for testing) gets access to your presets irrespective of where you locate it.
To be honest, I don't think the "Store Presets with Catalog" was the development team's finest hour, as it's implementation seems muddled and inconsistent. We've had to bail out so many people over at Lightroomforums.net ("help, my presets are missing!") that we ended up documenting the implications of using that setting: http://www.lightroomforums.net/showthread.php?14169-What-is-the-purpose-of-the-quot-Store- Presets-with-Catalog-quot-option

"Store presets with catalog" doesn't work with web galleries

I reinstalled Windows 7 and copied over my LR4 presets and galleries over to the new install. I decided to try ""Store presets with catalog" to keep things simpler next time since I do periodic backups of the catalog folder anyway, so in the future all presets are backed up at the same time as the catalog. I put the presets including a couple web gallery presets in the proper folders. LR4 recognized all presets except for the web gallery presets--when I went to the Web module it didn't list them as options. I then copied those web gallery presets to the default LR4 settings folder (C:\User\XYZ\AppData\Etc-so-on-so-forth) at which point it recognized the presets and listed them in the Web module.
So it seems that LR4 doesn't respect the "Store presets with catalog" setting when looking for web gallery presets. Am I missing something?

Saved user presets in "drummer"

Hi
a few but not all saved "user presets "have disappeared in the "drummer" folders
anyone else experienced this??
thanks

Ans 1 - The User Presets folder is shared across all versions of Lightroom, so there's normally no reason why you would need to do anything after an upgrade.
Ans 2 - Yes, moving from one OS to another means you have a few hurdles to jump. Install Lr3 on your Mac then copy the Catalog and Previews across to the Mac. When you launch Lr3 on the Mac it will create an new default Template/Preset folder named "Lightroom" at /Users/yourname/Library/Application Support/Adobe/ Next, copy the entire Lightroom Template/Preset folder from the PC to the Mac, thus replacing the original. Relaunch Lr3 and the old presets should now be accessible.

User Presets in Lightroom?

I currently have Lightroom 2 and am thinking of purchasing Lightroom 3. Can I transfer my user presets from Lightroom 2 to Lightroom 3?
Also, does it matter that I'm switching to mac from PC when transferring my catalogues etc.?

Need help with multiple users of a catalog

I run Lightroom in a small office and several of us have to have access to the image catalog, using Windows XP. To accomplish this, the images were placed on a shared external drive, the catalog was created on a USB flash drive and Lightroom was loaded on multiple computers. Everything has been fine and this strategy will work for us. However, when I move the catalog to another computer (logged on as a different user) the catalog appears with all keywords and image adjustments, but my import presets are not available. The preset files are located in the preset folder that accompanies the catalog, but they won't appear in the drop down box within Lightroom when attempting to import images. My temporary solution is to recreate the import presets, which I have done for one other user so far, but I don't want to have to do that for each new user. If one looks for the preset file, it is located in a folder called "user", but I have not figured out how to get Lightroom to recognize and use the preset files after logging on as a different user. When I move the catalog (USB flash drive) back to my computer (original computer, original user), then everything is fine again and I can see and use al the presets.
Anyone use Lightroom accross users or machines? Any way to get Lightroom to "see" and use import presets by multiple users?
Thanks for any help!

Not really sure if this will help or confuse things...
If each user has a preset folder/directory, could you not create a symlink that points to oen on the USB device? And then keep all the presets there?
Disclaimer: i have not tried this, nor looked at it much, just a thought as i was reading your post. If it doesn't apply, ignore me!
Cheers!
