LR4 RC2 is slooooow on importing files

I have just upgraded to LR 4 RC2 and found that it took two hours!! to import NEF files from my Lexar 400X 8Gb CF UDMA card....I did several trials and it seems that the problem appears when I set some keywords before starting the import procedure. When I put no keywords at all, Import  runs as fast as with the previous version of LR4...is this a bug or it just happens to me?
Agustin

add me to the list.
i have also speed problems with the import in LR4 RC2.
even when i only import jpg files it´s much slower then past versions.
with past versions i could immediately view the imported images even when other images were still imported.
with RC2 i often only see a pixelated preview for 15-20 seconds and the message "reading data" (well i see the german translation of that message    ).
today i often thought LR froze but then it was "only a hickup".
problem is the hickup happens very often. 
i tried to import the same files (from the same SDHC card) with LR v3.6 and it was much faster and smoother experience.
i also noticed this issue with RC1, but today it was really annoying.
ps: i don´t add keywords on import but i do add coypright infos into the metadata fields during import.
my system specs:
win7 64 bit
intel i7 2600k
geforce 460 GTX
16 GB ram
240 GB vertex 3 SSD (for LR catalog and previews)

  • How do I stop LR4 from organizing imported files into a folder by date.

    How do I stop LR4 from organizing imported files into a folder by date. Most times when I import files I have already created a folder and sub-folder structure tyat I want to use. I then right click the desired folder and choose import into this folder option. Why does LR4 insist on organizing my already selected destination into a sub-folder with a date by default?

    If you do it this way all the time consider a different approach:
    Manually copy your images from the card into your desired destination folder in the Finder/Explorer. Once complete drag&drop that entire folder into Lightroom. When the import dialog pops up select to Add the images to the catalog (not copy or move). You will end up with the exact folder structure reflected in your library.

  • LR4 and Sony NEX-7 video files?

    I just installed LR4 and imported files from my Sony NEX-7, including raw files and video (.mts) files.   The thumbnail of the file has a little video camera icon in the bottom left, but no time lenth of video as I exprected.  And when I try to open a video file, the starting frame appears but there is no control bar under the video to allow me to "play" it and using the Spacebar doesn't start it either.  What am I missing in this process?

    I had a similar issue with a Sony RX100.  It was not supported by ACR (Adobe Camera Raw) until version 7.2.  Version 7.2 includes the NEX 7 too.  It may have been included in earlier versions, but I'm not sure.
    ACR is the free Adobe plug in that has all the camera and lens correstions and adjustments.  The camera makers create there RAW formats and Adobe then, one at a time, turns that into conversion data in ACR.  At least I think that's how it works!
    PSE 10 will only go to ACR 6.7.  It won't upgrade ACR past 6.7.  You have to buy PSE 11 to get functionality with ACR 7.2
    The way it works it that you have PSE search for updates under the Help menu.  When PSE 10 was new, it allowed me to update the ACR to 6.7.  In fact it insisted I do it.  The same was true with PSE 11.  It alerted me that an upgrade was available.
    A similar situation exists with Lightroom.  My Sony camera would not work with LR 4.  It had to upgrade itself to 4.2
    If you don't want to deal with the Adobe details, Sony provides "Image Data Converter" that can make files from the Sony RAW images that PSE10 can work with.
    Good luck!

  • LR4.2 and "Do not import selected duplicates" does not always work.

    LR4.2 and "Do not import selected duplicates" does not always work. Running a Mac, 10.6.8, I am cleaning up hard drives, organizing old files. There are times lightroom 4.2 (and before) does not recognize already imported raws and does not gray them out. These are backed up cards and folders of of raw images. Why is the "do not import selected duplicates" check box not working???!!!

    There's a known (and old) bug when duplicate identification fails on photos
    that have been imported from another catalog.

  • LR 5.5 Doesn't work.  Won't import files from Sony or Canon

    Since initially downloading LR 5, I have been unable to import files from my Canon 7D, Canon 5D Mk3, or my Sony Nex 7.   All three cameras are running the latest firmware versions.
    I'm using an Apple 27" IMac, with 3.4GHz Intel I7, with 16Gb 1333Mhz DDR3 ram.
    The ONLY way I've gotten LR 5.X to import any images has been to move them from the memory card, to a folder on the desktop, and then import them from that folder.
    Anything else I try results in a dialogue box that tells me the images can't be imported.
    LR4 works just fine, and I have no issues importing files from any of my three cameras with it.

    When I try to import anything, a dialogue box pops up, titled "Import Results"
    Below that, it says "Some import operations were not performed",
    Then, below that, it says "The following files were not imported because they could not be read."  And it then lists individually all the images I tried to import.
    I then have the option to "Save As", or "Ok".  
    When I click "Ok", it ejects the card, and "No photos in Current Import" appears in the middle of the screen.

  • Lightroom 4.4 cannot import files exported from CaptureOne Pro8, but LR5 can??

    I am a recent new user to PhaseOne's CaptureOne Pro8 software.  I am using it for some RAW conversions, but still want to use my LR4.4 product to catalog, and further edit, those conversions.
    I have tried exporting TIFF, DNG, and JPG from Pro8, but NONE of those files can be imported by LR4.4  I can selected the file, and then LR hangs on "Importing files...".  Oddly enough, I can move to other LR modules, like Develop, and the software still works, but the import never completes.
    I downloaded a trial LR5.6 via Creative Cloud, and that version of Lightroom imports the JPG files just fine.  I have not tried to see if TIFF or DNG can be imported.
    So my questions come down to :
    Are there any LR4.4 users here who also have CaptureOne Pro8?  Can you import Pro8-exported JPGs into LR4.4?
    Is there any insight as to how LR5.6 handles files differently than LR4.4 that could explain why LR4.4 cannot load these files?
    I have no other issues with any other software package that can read JPGs, only LR4.4.  Keep in mind LR5.6 works fine, as well.
    Hmmm?
    Thanks for any help, insight,
    Mike

    BKKDon - Thank you so much for the Photoshop Family route.  I kinda found myself going in circles on the Adobe support pages, and thought this user-to-user forum was my only option for LR4 support.  Appreciate the link.
    And, I believe you have helped me greatly narrow the problem down.  I was not familiar with JFIF, and now I am.  I was able to find some utilities to essentially strip all of the APP markers within the JFIF, and now I can import those files into LR4.  I suspect that CO7 did not utilize APP marker in the JFIFs, CO8 does, and LR4 stumbles when it sees APP markers.  That's speculation based on how I made the LR4 import work, and not by doing direct inspection of different JPGs or JFIFs.  Thanks for the tip on JFIF, that gave me a lead that panned out.
    Now if I could just figure out why DNG and TIFF seem to be similarly afflicted, LOL.

  • LR 4.1 RC Does not import files

    I use a Lexar USB 3 card reader to import files created by my Canon 5d Mk-II. I click on Import on the lower left corner of LR, point to the drive which displays the files on the card. But when I click on Import LR simply sites there with the progress bar at the top not moving. I waited for quite a while several times and the files did not copy and import. Then I copied the files using Windows explorer to the folder where they are kept and tried to synchronize the folder but that option was not avaliable from the right-click on the folder name context menu. I have to shut down LR and restart before the Synchronize Folder appears again.
    Another, and possibly related anomaly is the number of files LR report that could be imported. The number is always wrong. For instance, there may be 25 files sync but it reports something like 172.

    A new catalog with nothing in it imported from the Lexar USB 3 compact flash reader. I am traveling abroad and do not have another card reader. However, after the successful import into a blank catalog I imported a few more which hung up as it did in the old catalog. I was able to delete all the imported images ending up with a blank catalog and reimport a couple of sessions in succession. In one of them I observed something but could not replicate: LR imported files that were not marked rather than the few I selected. The ones it seemed to have chosen were short video clips. Since I have not been able to replicate the problem, I am willing to explain that as my error although I was paying particular attention to exclude the video files. I guess that's why this is called "human error"!
    If the integrity of the original catalog I was using is compromised what is the solution? This is a rhetorical question since all the files will be transferred to my desktop computer anyway. I tested the sync folder option, which reported 151 new files. I instructed LR to sync thos files and LR went through all the files and ended up with a blank display of files to sync. I optimized the catalog and tried the same, it still shows 151 files to sync, which is obviously not correct.

  • Re importing files to AE problem

    I followed the help instructions to re-import files to an AE project, but I had one problem. Certain files don't appear in my timeline, they are unviewable, and they have a different name and icon next to them. I'll provide a screen shot to show you what I mean.
    Let me also explain the process of how I imported them. There's three things you should know first.
    1. the files are in multiple folders, and those folders are within other folders.
    2. The files I'm importing are .jpg files.
    3. I'm using a mac with After Effects CC
    So what I did first after it told me I was missing 210 files, was double click on the first missing file. It prompted me to choose the file in my finder, just like the help said. I double clicked the first file I wanted to replace. It then said that 48 files were recovered. I thought this was great, and repeated the same process for each of the other folders. Everything worked perfectly, except the initial files I clicked on had become some other file type. I tried to replace them but it didn't work. They no longer appeared in the timeline either. so I managed to replace the vast majority of my files, but about 4 of them don't work. I'm posting a screen shot to show you the icon that appears next to them after I recovered them. I have no idea what these icons mean and I can't work with those images. Any idea how to get my original image back in there?

    That icon says that this is an image sequence---i.e., a set of images that are treated as one footage item (as a movie), not as independent still image footage items.

  • Imported Files going in the wrong folder

    Elements Organizer 10 started misplacing all the Imported Files in the folder above at some point.
    In Folder Location view (under Display) I right click folder B and chose Import to Elements Organizer. Once the Import is finished, all photos but one are under folder A instead... needless to say my catalog now looks very messy because photos show in folders with different names. In Finder they appear in the right place, and even the File Properties in Elements show the correct location. Just not the Folders.
    I have about 20k files imported in my catalogue, this started happening recently and affects only files imported in certain external drives or partitions.
    I tried the repairs, optimizations, reconnects etc. for the catalogue, looked for updates and restarted the software many times now.
    How can I fix this?

    Hi guys,
    Sorry about slow time to reply.
    I'll try to be a bit more specific.
    The problem seems to happen only with a new firewire drive, Lacie Rugged 1gb.
    I have Mac OS X v10.6.8, processor 2.26Ghz, intel core duo, 8Gb 1067 DDR3; Elements Organizer 10.0
    The problem happens regardless of how I import the files, ie in thumbnail or folder view, and my procedures have not changed since using previous drives (right click folder and chose Import to Elements Organizer). If I am in thumbnail view or folder batch view the files are there, however having to browse among Ks of files is not my preference, I like folder view better.
    I think the image below explains it better: the folder selected is called Group Tax team day (bottom left). The  photo at the top is actually from this folder, but the one at the bottom (and all the others then) are from a folder called HK Dez 2012, which is the last that was imported directly below. You can actually see that the path at the top of the image does not match the selected folder on the lower left. And btw, this means that the files at the top folder in the drive cannot be found in folder view, since they have no folder to move to.
    Appreciate any help on this!

  • Imported files to wrong location

    I am using Lightroon 4 on a Macbook pro, OS Lion.
    I forgot to change the location of all my local wordpress images before importing them to a new folder, and they ended up being moved to my default dated folders i.e. Pictures/2012/2012-01-01.
    How can I either undo my last import, or easily locate all of those files I just imported?
    Thanks!
    Rob

    Long shot but try this.
    Go to Previous Import in Grid Mode
    Select all [CMD][A]
    Go to All Photographs (Previous import files should remain selected)
    Set the sort order in the Tool bar to Added Order  (Z to A)
    Your previous import should be the large block of selected items at the top.
    Scroll to the last selected item and the Previous to the Previous import should be the next file.
    Select it and hold down your shift key and down arrow until you reach the end of your Wordpress files
    The hard part is knowing how far to go to select the files from there.  Hopefully there is an obvious break that will clue you in.

  • Imported files do not show up in the project menu

    When I import files into a new folder I cannot locate them in the project menu. The files do not have a project path. They show up in the "last import" section though. What's wrong?

    You cannot import files into an Aperture Folder.  Folders hold containers (Folders, Projects, and Albums); they do not hold Images that are not in another container.  Projects and Albums hold Images.
    Right-click one of the Images shown in the "Last Import" Browser, and select "Show in Project" from the context menu.  This should make that Project the active one, and show you which one it is by selecting it on the Library tab of the Inspector.

  • HT1766 how do i get the pc to open up the file dialog when i plug in my iphone?  It asked me what to do, and I said to import files and pictures, and now it goes directly to pictures.

    I have a laptop with touch screen and windows 8.  I plugged in my iphone because i wanted to sync my music to itunes.  A box came up and asked what I wanted to do when the phone was detected.  I had 3 choices and do nothing.  I chose import files and pictures.  and now, when i plug it in, it goes right to pictures.  How can i change it so the little file box opens and gives me the option to "import files and pictures?"

    You should install iTunes for Windows and sync your iPhone with it.

  • Premiere Pro cs6 - Workspace video pane remains blank when trying to view imported files

    Hello,
    I'm currently working in Adobe Premiere Pro CS6. When I import my media into my workspace and drag it onto the timeline, the preview box where you can review your cut video remains black. Double clicking on the imported file gives the same result. I was initially importing .jpg files (about 300kb size for each) so I tried importing various other image formats - .png, .tiff, etc... I have even imported a movie file into my scene to determine whether the issue was with my content format. With the video, the audio plays fine, but the video remains blank in the preview box. I have tried rendering my workspace and changing my initial project settings, but to no avail. I went into my preferences for Premiere and from what I can determine, everything looks fine.
    I'm running the software on an HP Pavilion, Windows 7 intel i7, 8gb ram, with a nvidia 650M 2GB card. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Hi,
    Have you tried to change your Video Renderer? It would be under Project > Project Settings > General. Switch the option to Mercury Playback Engine software only and see if it helps.
    Thanks,
    Rameez
