Moving a selection of images within a folder

I would like to move a selection of images within the same folder. I have done this before with a drag and drop but it doesn't want to work today. Anyone have a suggestion. I have and keywords for filters but wanted to set up in time/day order using 2 different cameras.
thanks, Jan

The easier way to do this, instead of moving photos around manually, is to adjust the time on one of the cameras, and voila, your photos are in order.
Select the desired photos and then choose Photo->Edit Capture Time, and insert the proper time adjustment between the two cameras.

How can I select all images in a folder without subfolders?

Either I am looking with my nose (as we would say in The Netherlands) or it is not possible:
I have a folder A with images and in that folder there's a subfolder B. I want to rename all the images inside folder A so I want to select them all to begin with. However, clicking on folder A in LR also show all the images in folder B and therefore CTRL-A also selects them all. Now, how can I only select the ones in folder A?
Danny.

Winston's example certainly provides a method for the situation you described, but it doesn't help if you have multiple, nested subfolders. But my piece of advice is to be patient. Things will get better on this front.

Selecting multiple images in a table

Hi. I have a website and have recently decided to organize my
assets folder by creating subfolders. However, this has made all of
the pictures on my site turn into broken source codes. Is there a
way to select multiple images within a table and edit the source
code? If anyone can help me I'd greatly appreciate it!

You should always do this kind of thing using DW's Files
panel - DW will manage your links when you do.
Did you move all of the images into the same subfolder, or
different ones? If the latter, you will just have to remake all of
the links one by one. If the former you may be able to do
find/replace to find the old links and replace with the new folder
path.

Preview: Preview Next or Previous Image w/o 1st selecting multiple images?

I have a folder that contains images. I browse to that folder and click on any of them and Preview opens and I see the image just fine. I would like to browse the contents of this folder with Preview using the arrow keys to view the next or previous image in that folder. When I use the arrow keys I get nothing (just a boink sound). Should I be able to navigate the contents of a folder with Preview using the arrow keys? I have read through the help and didn't see anything not being able to navigate images.
I edited my preview toolbar to include the Next and Previous buttons however these don't seem to work for images in the same folder.
I click on drawer and it only shows the image that I clicked on that opened Preview; it does not show any of the other images that are within the folder...should it?
If I select all (or more than one) image within the folder and then Click Open, Preview opens with the drawer containing the selected images. When I take this extra step, I am able to navigate the selected images in Preview with the up/down arrow keys or the Next/Prev buttons on the toolbar. Is there a way to bypass the multiple selection of images in order to navigate them with Preview or is that just the way it works?
THx!

ReidRik_Von,
I suspect you may be "putting the cart before the horse." Try opening Preview first. Next, use the Open command from Preview's File menu, or Command + O on your keyboard, and then browse to the desired folder. Select the entire folder and press the Open button. If the Drawer opens and you find it obtrusive, close the Drawer.
You should now find the Next and Previous arrow buttons you added to the Toolbar earlier should function; and if you have Full Keyboard Access enabled, you should be able to navigate the folder using the keyboard as well: Command + Right arrow for the next image, or Command + Left arrow for the previous...
Good luck!

How can I import *just* the new images in a folder?

Is there anyway to import only the images within a folder that aren't already in the library? This seems to be the default behavior in Lightroom and makes really good sense. If I add an image to a folder without doing so in Aperture, I'd really like to just import that new version into the library.
Thanks,
-Dave

Yes, I knew that I could do this, but I was hoping for an automated method as I suspect that I will screw things up if I rely on doing everything manually.

This has happened to me too. I had to quit the lightroom application and restart it to fix this problem.

Selecting multiple bookmarks drag to folder

Will Firefox for the Macintosh & Windows support opening .webloc files? And from the Bookmark Library, support moving multiple selected bookmarks to a Finder folder?

Hi
it should work the same as files in Finder -
Command-Click to add or subtract to/from the selection;
shift-click to add all those between the current selection & the one you click

Can I link an image within a slideshow to an external link?

I have tried to link one of my images within a slideshow to an external link. However, when I select the image within the slideshow or it's thumbnail, the 'Link' option in the toolbar is not available. Is there a different way to achieve this?

Hi avary.s
" Image Option" : http://prntscr.com/svhz7 Tells that its actually the whole image that is being placed within this slide show container. check :
check : http://prntscr.com/svine
However, "Hero Image" as show in screen shot provided in above reply, is a container which shows the edited part of the complete image : check : http://projectuni01.businesscatalyst.com/screenshots/2013-02-16_0217.png
So in this case, In slideshows, the links are actually get applied on Hero image or on the slideshow containers.
I hope this information helps

How can I import selected images from a folder instead of the whole folder in iPhoto 9.5.2?

Hi there,
I was trying to help my parents import some photos from a folder they have created with photos from their holiday. They only want to import select images from this folder into iPhoto. I said it would be easy and they can do it in 2 ways. First, they can drag and drop selected photos from their folder into iPhoto - and this works for them. However, more convieniently, they can click file>import to Library and then select the photos they want by going into the folder... Well that's how it works on my iPhoto '11 at least. When they showed me their screen via Skype (they are running iPhoto 9.5.2), when they click import to library, and try to go into the folder containing their photos, it imports the whole thing and there appears to be no way that they can enter the folder to select just a few photos from what I could see.
Does anyone know anything aout this problem?
Cheers.

What view are using in the Import dialogue. Column view might be easiest to navigate.

Don't know if that would be a failing hard drive, but it may be that you are out of available space. How much hard drive space do you have available? Please highlight the Macintosh HD icon and then press Command and I for a get info window. Once open, please copy and post the following:

Moving images within Grid View in LR3beta2

Frustrated. In LR3Beta1 I could manually move and place images within Grid View or from the slide view at bottom for purposes of sorting "similar subject" content within a specified Text/Attribute naming. All of this was accomplished from the Parent folder, with no need for drilling down the Tree.
Now, since installing LR3Beta2 I can no longer manually move (sort) within Grid View...unless I am in the lower most folder of the tree. This change is not practical since a tree folder may not match the relevance of my specified Text/Attributes.
Can anyone tell me what I may be doing wrong, or is the ability to manually sort from Parent folder no longer an option?

Here's an example of how I catalog/label/sort my images...
Architectural images project - 3 locations of shootng, 4 areas of focus: Doors, Windows, Facades, Walls
So, I may have 20 images w/both a door and a facade in the shot, 20 images with a window and a door, etc. I prefer to Keyword all of the images as Architectural, and then Keyword those applicable to Doors, Windows, Facades, Walls, etc.
Now, suppose those all go into a folder labeled Architecture.
The next week I get an assignment for Urban settings. It may include shops, churches, etc. However, within those, I decide to Keyword (where appropriate) Doors, Windows, Churches, Shops, etc. That project goes into a folder labeled Urban Settings.
Now, let's say I have a request specifically for "Doors". Now, those Doors are spread across multiple folders at this point so I have no opportunity to manually sort all of the doors my similar content if they fall into multiple folders. Doesn't matter that I have pulled up Doors through Text, I still cannot sort them by similar style, shape, color, etc since they are spread across multiple folders.
In the 1st beta, I could slice and dice a hundred ways to arrive at a final view and then...sort those so that they always appeared that way whenever I called them up again. Didn't matter that they were in multiple folders. That was extremely useful and...sweet.
Any ideas?

Moving images within a collection?

Having just watched Julieanne K's tutorial re making a Blurb book, she began with her images in a story order. How does one move images within a collection to an order different from how they were uploaded or taken? I guess it is simple, but I cannot seem to do it.

Actually, you don't have to select User Order. In Library mode, view the grid and simply drag and drop the thumbnails into the order you want, and that prompt will automatically change to User Order from whatever order it was in before.

Moving images within a catalogue

I've noticed a phenomenon where, when re-ordering a group of images within a catalogue, LR2 (and 2.2) moves the last photo in the group to the front of the group. It's very time consuming to fix.
Is anyone else having the same problem?
Cheers
Kevin

That's the problem...
I actually *want* to put them in custom order (it happens sometimes that the cameras which shoot a wedding are out of time sync). It's when I do this that the problem occurs. Never happened pre Version 2.
Thanks for the suggestion, tho!

Moving images within projects - random placement

I have tried to move images within a project, slotting them in a different order than shot. All of a sudden the images are not going where directed - they appear to be placed at random within the project. This is driving me crazy now.
Has anyone else experienced this? Retarting doesn't seem to help. Maybe I need to shut down....

Thanks for your reply. I guess I mistakenly thought that if you created an album within a project, any images placed in the album would also become part of the project. So what's the best way to sub-divide or categorize images within a project? For example, if I have a project called "architecture" and within that project I have images of "commercial" and "residential".
I thought if I had a project called "architecture" and inside that I put two albums called "commercial" and "residential", I could drag groups of images into the albums and still see all images by viewing the project.
Thanks again,
Andrew

Moving images within Book cells?

Is there a way to position images within the book template cells? Understanding that the cells are fixed is there a way to move an image around within those boundaries? It appears when I resize an image within the cell it does so uniformly and from the center and is locked there. Am I missing something? We should be able to position the image inside the borders.

Hi Jay,
when I do not zoom-to-fill my usual 3:2-ratio images get positioned in the middle of a book cell.
Then I can drag them ad libitum to the right or left within that cell.
When zoomed you can still drag the exact portion shown around within the cell.
But that is the only tiny bit of freedom I have discovered so far, with these non-modifiable templates of LR4b#1.
Cell padding is uniformly from each end.
I just hope that general feedback had been drastic enough so that Adobe will soon release LR4b#2 with modifiable templates / page sizes / cell sizes / image borders / text boxes etc.
Otherwise they might not receive much more feedback about the book module. I won't cash out for a book design that does not suit me, so no experiences with upload/export and the rest.
