Moved Images After LR Import - How To Clear from LR Database?

I moved some images and deleted others after
I had imported them into LR. Now LR shows a little "?"
in the top right of the image, because LR cannot find
the image in its current location anymore.
There are thousands of the them of them now and they are interleaved
with valid images located in sub-directories.
How can I get rid of all these question marks?

>I had to move a big collection of photos to a larger hard drive and now I've got thousands of photos that Lightroom doesn't know where to find. So I'm hoping someone knows an alternative way to do this in bulk!
As you've already observed, the ? click is fine for tracking individual files that may have been relocated, but not for large numbers, especially if the files are located in multiple folders/subfolders.
If you look at the Folder panel (left side of Library module) you should find that the folder(s) containing the images you moved are shown in Red text. The red text is used to identify a folder/subfolder that contains files that Lightroom has lost track off (i.e. Missing Files). On the Mac you should Ctrl+click (right-click if using two button mouse) these folder(s) and choose the command "Locate Missing folder", a dialog should appear. The dialog gives you access to every hard disk connected to your computer or DVDs if they're in the tray. Use this dialog to navigate to the new folder location, then select the appropriate FOLDER (not the files). Finally, press the Choose button and allow Lightroom to do its stuff.
The method described above also applies to the PC version although the dialog is called "Browse for Folder".
You can avoid getting into a situation were Lightroom looses track of your folders/subfolders by using a variation of above. Actually, it's a hidden feature.
Basically, you "push" the folders/subfolders from their original location using the OS tools such drag and drop to their new location (eg a second disk). Then in the Lightroom Folder panel press Ctrl+Opt (Mac) or Ctrl+right-click (PC) to expose the additional folder action command "Locate Missing Folders" (remember that its normally only available when you have missing files/folders). The Missing Folder/Browse Folder dialog will appear, and the steps described above can again be used to select the folder in its NEW location. Once satisfied that Lightroom is now referencing the files in their new location you can delete the files from their original location.

  • After I import a movie file from the camera memory card, Imovie 10.0.1 acts as if the memory card is empty though I know it isn't.... I can't import that file to iMovie again.. is that the way it worksnow?  Thank you, Filippo

    On IMac 10.9  After I import a movie file from the camera memory card to Imovie 10.0.1 it acts as if the memory card is empty though I know it isn't.... I can't import that file to iMovie again.. is that the way it works now?  Anyone know?  Thanks, Filippo

    I would like to know this too. I imported a lot of files, then Imovie crashed. I went back in and they are not in imovie at all.
    I reconnected the camcorder to import again and though they are still on the camcorder, I no longer see them in the available list of files to import. I'm sure there is some sort of simple setting somewhere that reveals all files even if it thinks they are imported.
    Thanks

  • Photoshopcs6  merge layers function moving images after merge

    I'm trying to create a tiled texture using a seamless image. too bad its bricks. ive been having this issue throughout all of the photoshop steps in this experience. I'm pasting another image of the same before it in a new layer. merging it. created a line doing this. copied that line. merged it. fine.
    copied new line. pasted. merged. BOOYAH! IM MOVING YOUR IMAGE AFTER MERGE!! BWAAHAHAHAHAHA IM EVIL!!!!.
    why is this happening. I'm not doing anything different. This keeps happening. over and over again.
    On my last file, I didnt even merge all the layers. I saved the file out as a png, and the result was the same as if I had merged the layers, which moves everything around. what do i need to change?!

    Please post screenshots to illustrate the issue.

  • How to disconnect from the Database after signing out in ADF

    I'm using JDeveloper 10.1.3 to develop ADF and JSF applications on Oracle Database.
    I'm using dynamic credentials, the user can connect to the database as the database user. So different users can be connected to the database when you check the current database connections in the V$sessions. I'm using application pool.
    Upon signing out, i want to kill the Database connection associated with the application model that the user was using.
    I tried both the resetState() in the DCDataControl and invalidateSessionAndRedirect() but they both perform session timeout and move the application model back to the pool together with connection so that if another session with the same username/databasename couple is opened , then it can use the same application model in the pool.
    In my case, i want to disconnect and remove the Database connection from the V$sessions upon siging out.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Thanks for your reply,
    Refering to the document "Understanding Application Module Pooling Concepts and Configuration Parameters" by Steve Muench,
    If jbo.doconnectionpooling=true, then each time a user session finishes using an AM (typically at the end of each HTTP request), the AM instance disassociates itself with the JDBC connection it was using on that request and it returns it to the JDBC connection pool.
    I don't want to unplug the AM from the Database connnection and move it back to the database pool when each request is finished.
    I want to disconnect the Database connection and remove it from the v$session upon signing out from the application, NOT only move it back to the database pool.
    I want this because i use dynamic credentials and when the user X1 signout from the application and user X2 signs in, it will NOT use the database connection that was used by X1 because the application connects as the database user. In other words, 2 database connection will be found after this scenario.
    Thanks,
    Amr

  • HELP!!??? Trouble with PS CS-6 displaying/ producing grainy and pixelated images after being imported using PS Bridge and Camera-Raw 8.5

    Help!??? I am having trouble with PS CS-6 displaying/ producing/ saving grainy pictures when import NEF files!!!
    Hi all,
    When I import all NEF or RAW files into CS6 from Bridge and Camera Raw from the Nikon D200 and D5000, they become grainy/ pixelated.  However, RAW files from the D800 did not have problem. I set the Color Space in my Nikons to AdobeRGB, in PS Camera Raw 8.5 to AdobeRGB, in PS CS-6 ColorSpace to AdobeRGB, and Save As Jpeg with Max quality (12). When comparing between CS-6 produced file and the original, I can see a big drop in quality and the picture become grainy and pixelated. What can I do to make this right? Any help/ suggestion is appreciated.
    Thank you!
    HN

    Can you show us a screen-shot of the raw in Camera Raw that shows this noise, or if you only see it in the saved JPG, then show us a side-by-side of the raw in Camera Raw and the JPG?  Show the same area of the photo and zoom to 100%.
    It is normal for raw photos to have grain but you can mostly remove it with the Luminance Noise-Reduction sliders in the Detail tab of Camera Raw.
    The amount of grain depends on the ISO sensitivity setting on the camera.

    I moved everything on my old iMac running 10.5.8 to my new MacBook Pro running 10.6.8 using Migration Assistant and a firewire.  Cannot access anything through iPhoto or iTunes programs.

    Can I move these folders somewhere so that I can access through the programs?  Which folders do I move?   Where do I move them to?

  • ESR objects after re-importing SWCV into ESR from SLD

    We created two SWCVs in SLD and imported into ESR.
    I_MYCOMP_SWCV_ONE
    I_MYCOMP_SWCV_TWO
    I created few design objects like DTs MTs SIs like  dtA, dtB, siC in I_MYCOMP_SWCV_TWO
    but later, for some reason, to enable usage of objects of I_MYCOMP_SWCV_ONE to be used/referenced in I_MYCOMP_SWCV_TWO, we had to create dependencies in sld, something like I_MYCOMP_SWCV_TWO depends on I_MYCOMP_SWCV_ONE,
    after we defined the dependency in sld, the SWCVs need to be reimported into ESR, and my previous design objects dtA, dtB, siC will be lost if i reimport I_MYCOMP_SWCV_TWO
    is there any wayout, in which all my previous objects will not be lost, (so that i need not re-create manually) after importing I_MYCOMP_SWCV_TWO
    thanks,
    Madhu.

    >>>they will not be lost for sure (you you reimport without deletion)
    thanks, when we try to reimport without delition.. we got below message.
    A software component version with the name I_MYCOMP_SWCV_TWO already exists
    To update the SLD information, use the relevant menu option in the editor for software component versions
    But it is possible to update SWCV from the content from the sld.
    that served the purpose.

  • An advice regarding how best values from a database can be displayed

    Hello All,
    I must thank this forum for being friendly and very helpful.I have another question here.I hope that this is the right forum for this post.
    I have a MS Access database, which has a table with attributes.I am using Java 1.4.2 and Tomcat 5.0.28.
    I want to display on a .jsp page the values present in the "courses" attribute of the database table.
    The displayed courses should have "check boxes" associated with them, so that any of them can be checked and on submit must give the other entries associated with that checkbox(course).I hope my problem statement is clear.
    It would be great if people could spend some time to read this message and guide me in the right direction.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated
    TIA
    AS

    Some pseudocode to help you along:
    make an html form
    make an html table
    put html table header row(s) in
    query database: select courses from table
    for each row
    ---make an html table row
    ---make an html table cell with an html form checkbox
    in it
    ---make an html table cell with the course displayed
    in it
    ---end table row
    end for
    end html table
    make a submit button for the form
    end form
    Have the form submit to another page that looks at
    which checkboxes were submitted and does a similar
    query / display routine.
    The exact implementation of this is quite variable
    depending on whether you're using taglibs, JSTL,
    beans, J2EE, and/or whatever.
    Take your pick. :)
    HTHThanks for the time and information as to how I could get started with this particular check box issue.
    I would like to use simple jsp i am guessing at this point.
    Thanks again

  • Import a filed value from custom database into User Profile using BCS

    Hi,
    I have a custom DB in SQL with couple of columns.
    I need to import one of the fields (userid) into user profile - custom property.
    Please guide me to make it done.
    My direction seems wrong..since I am new to user profile-BCS concepts.
    I created a custom property in user profile services, while "configure synchronization connections', I clicked on new connection.
    Type: Business connectivity services, selected
    It needs external content type.
    I opened CA through designer, clicked on External Content type, I am able to connect SQLDB and related fields.
    But, I am not sure what to be done?? How to make my task completed.
    Guide me, somebody, please!!
    - GEM

    This should create the External Content Type
    Open SharePoint Designer
    Choose the Site where you want the External Content Type to be created
    Under Site Objects -> Click External Content Types
    In the Ribbon -> Click External Content Types to create a New one
    Provide a name for your ECT
    Click ‘Click here to discover external data sources and define operations’
    Click Add Connection, under Data Source Type choose SQL Server
    Provide the connection properties to your SQL Server
    Under Data Source Explorer, Expand the tables folder and choose the table you want to connect to
    Right Click the Table Name and create a New Read Item Operation
    Under Input Parameters, Select the Primary Key of your table and verify that it is map as the identifier. This is important as this will be the column that will be used to sync BCS data to SharePoint. Click on Finish
    Right Click the Table Name again and create a New Read List Operation. Follow the steps on K
    OPTIONAL: Once done you can create an external Lists based on the content type to verify if you are able to pull data from your External Source
    You can verify if the list is created by going to the site where you have deployed the External List. If you encounter a “Access denied by Business Data Connectivity, you can resolve this by going to Central Administration -> Application Management ->
    Manage Service Applications -> Business Data Connectivity Service, choose the External Content Type you have created -> Click Set Object Permissions -> Add the account that your are using and Set ‘Execute & Set Permissions’. Refresh the external
    list page.
    This will create the connection between the BCS properties and the Custom User Properties which are mapped to BCS.
    To create a synchronization connection follow the steps below
    Go to Application Management -> Manage Service Application -> User Profile Service -> Configure Synchronization Connections
    Click Create new Connection
    Provide a connection name for your connection
    Under Type, choose Business Data Connectivity
    Under Business Data Connectivity Entity, choose the External Content Type created on the BCS Step
    Choose the property to identity the 1:1 mapping, this is a unique column that should exist on both the BCS Data and the SharePoint User Profile Properties.
    This part will create the Custom User Profile Property to hold the BCS Data
    Go to Central Administration
    Under Application Management click Manage Service Application
    Click User Profile Service Application
    Click Manage User Properties then select New Property
    Fill the necessary fields
    Under Add New Mapping, select the BCS Sync connection you have created above and the field from SQL where you want to map this property
    Run Profile Synchronization

  • NPD Metrics - how to extract from the database in a usable format

    Metrics for NPD activities and projects are stored in the database one row for each metric in each activity or project instance.
