Moving and arranging folders

This should be very simple but I've been wrestling with this for quite a while and despite going to the books, the tutorials, etc., I cannot seem to solve this simple problem. Under folders I have, in red, a series of folders. I like to arrange my folders by date so I have 2007 and under that I have subfolders:
2007
utah
yardbirds
yellowstone
Now I also have the following:
2008-01-08-ant-ushuaia
2008-01-09-ant-at sea
2008-01-09-ant-new isle
etc etc
I would like to arrange it:
2008
antarctica
2008-01-08-ant-ushuai
2008-01-09-ant-at sea
etc etc
I cannot find a way to take these numerous daily antarctica files, put them under antarctica and collapse them, and put antarctica under the 2008 heading along with othe subsequent folders as the year progresses as is the case under 2007. When I try to move anything, red or white, I get a circle with an oblique line thru it. Can someone show me how this is done please?

You must first connect the folders in red with the underlying folders. You do this in LR by getting the contextual menu, and then navigating to the folder location.
Once this is done, you can move masses of files from one folder to another by selecting them in a folder, dragging one from the center of the image to where you want it.

  • IPhone 4 sync issue: apps keep getting moved and all folders deleted

    I was hoping someone could help with this: I painstakingly organized my apps (close to 100 of them) into about a dozen folders. When I synced the phone after having done that, my carefully constructed folder system got deleted and the apps were randomly scattered over eight pages, which ***** as it's gonna take forever to re-create the folders and they're not even close to being grouped the way I had them.
    I tried restoring the phone and then spent the time to reorganize the apps in iTunes instead of on the phone, and when I synced it, the same thing happened again - all my apps were scattered randomly over eight pages and all my folders were deleted.
    Anyone else having this problem or know how to fix it?

    This happened to me too! I was so frustrated. I went into the Apple store tonight to talk to them about it. The guy hadn't really heard of it happening so he talked to a "genius" and the genius said that it could happen if you have multiple backups saved in your iTunes and when you restore, it's picking up older backups. I said though that everything else that syncs is current, and it isn't picking up anything else from old backups. PLUS, SOME of my folders are there with SOME of the apps but definitely not all of them. He said the best thing to do is next time you need to do a restore, bring in your phone and computer to the Genius Bar and they could try to help.

  • Moving and Arranging Objects?

    I want to create a Flash animation in which a user has a
    bunch of objects in front of them (say, four apples, five oranges
    and three plums) and three containers. They can drag the objects
    and put them in any of the three containers. How would I go about
    creating the logic for this to work? Thanks.

    You pretty much have the logic defined by what you just
    described. The tools to make it a reality would involve the
    startDrag() method, stopDrag() method, and dropTarget property.
    When you drop an objet you need to test if it was released on a
    valid dropTarget.

  • Outlook 2011 on MAC Sent Items folders not syncing when items are moved and deleted

    Emails in the in the inbox can be moved to different folders and they will update (disappear from the inbox) on the Macbook with Outlook 2011 . the Windows PC outlook 2010, Iphone and OWA update accordingly. Sent Items that are moved on the Macbook are only
    moved in the Macbook. The rest of the machines still have the email in the sent items folder and the "moved" email in the folder it was moved to.
    Redid the identity and its a new install. What is next? Sent items are changed on the Macbook more often and the changes need to propagate across all the devices.

    Hi,
    Do you have Cached mode enabled in Windows PC Outlook 2010? If so, please turn if off to see the result. To do this, open Outlook 2010, click File > Account Settings > Account Settings, double click your Exchange account, then clear the

  • Is there a way to recover old emails? I moved a few folders around on the hard disk and now my emails have reverted to Factory settings and all my old emails and address book have vanished. I am still running on 10.4.11 and Apple can not help me.

    Is there a way to recover old emails? I moved a few folders around on the hard disk and now my emails have reverted to Factory settings and all my old emails and address book have vanished. I am still running on 10.4.11 and Apple can not help me. Does anyone out there have any idea on how to recover my lost emails and/or addresses?

    Well, your profile info says 10.4.11, and you are posting your question in the iMac (PPC) category.  If you are running Snow Leopard, it must be a fairly recent Intel iMac.
    In that case, you should definitely post your question here
    https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/mac_os_x_v10.6_snow_leopard
    where other Snow Leopard users can see your question.  Restate the problem, what error messages you get, and what you have tried already (for trouble-shooting).

  • It stopped sending mail and moving messages between folders, junk messages stopped being moved.

    Recently, Thunderbird stopped sending mail and moving messages between folders, junk messages stopped being moved.

    Further notes (different user, same problem):
    * This is a problem that started in Thunderbird 32
    * This involves both automatic (filter) moves and manual moves
    * This includes use of keys and hotkeys (the delete key, for example)
    * Restarting Thunderbird does seem to "reset" the problem... for a while. I notice the problem most when either I've been away from the computer/program for a while or when waking a laptop computer from a sleep or hibernation state.

  • Can I arrange my bookmarks so that the folders and sub-folders are at the top of the list like in Explorer?

    I transferred all of my "Favorites" from Explorer. I have a lot of folders and sub-folders and I would like these to be listed at the top (as in Explorer) with individual bookmarks below. Right now the folders and individual bookmarks are mixed together.

    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Sorting_and_rearranging_bookmarks_-_Firefox
    If you '''Sort by Name''' in the Bookmarks Sidebar, that is how Firefox sorts bookmarks. If you have any '''''Separators''''', the Sort will stop there and you'll have to Sort from there down separately.

  • Windows 7 VERY slow browsing and creating folders

    Hi!
    I'm having a rather strange problem with Windows 7 RC.  I've noticed that browsing folders is generally slower than in WinXP, but still acceptable.  But lately I'm having a lot of difficulties moving files, creating folders, renaming folders and files, and even waiting for an Explorer window to refresh after some external app has created or modified a file.  Sometimes I have to wait up to 30 seconds for a new folder to be created, and another 10 or 15 after I rename it (from "New Folder" to whatever else).
    This does not happen in every folder in my HDD, but I don't know exactly in which ones.  I thought it was the indexed folders, so I removed a few from the Windows Indexing database, and they were still slow (after system reboot and all).  Then I thought it would probably happen in folders that are part of a library, so I removed them and the problem was still there.  I can't think of another reason for this to happen in some folders and not others.  It seems to happen in my frequently used folders, which honestly sucks.
    Just for the record, here's my system's specs:
    Dell Inspiron 9400 laptop (e1705), late 2006 model
    2GB DDR2 667 ram
    320 GB 7200 rpm seagate HDD, aftermarket (really fast drive, not the problem here)
    Intel Core Duo (Centrino Duo) 2.0GHZ
    Windows 7 RC, multiboot with WinXP
    Thanks!!!

    For the benefit of those who are being driven nuts with SLLOOOWWWW Explorer 'Problems', I list the methodology which has worked for me.
    As always, 'Use at Own Risk' and 'Your Mileage May Vary'.
    Do NOT repeat NOT perform these steps unless youfully understand the ramifications and are prepared to live with the consequences.
    BACKUP FIRST !!! - Create a RESTORE POINT!
    The latest incarnations of Windows attempt to 'out-think' the user in order to provide a 'Better Computing Experience', and that is well and good for the average Joe-Blow, but NOT what the Power-User wants or expects.  There are MANY suggestions as
    to the cause and solution(s) for slow Explorer response, but we have to remember just how much work is going on behind the scenes.
    Much of that work is to provide 'pretty' screen enhancements and to make for 'simpler' Searching.  By foregoing some of these we can reclaim quite a lot of CPU cycles and Disk I/O for our own (Applications) use.
    Before you embark on any changes, carefully assess just how you use your PC. - How important are Thumbnails? - What value does Content View really provide? - Can you implement a Folder structure and File-Naming convention which makes Snippets and Content
    indexing of little use?
    You'll still be able to see local thumbnails if that's what you want, they will just be remade each time you open the folder and select Thumbnail (Large Icon) View.  This is usually less bothersome than the time loss of having a 'Master' Thumbnail
    cache maintained and updated for every file operation.
    Certainly, some 3rd Party 'add-ons' (Power Archiver for one! & similar) may cause problems, as can poorly configured A/V programs (realtime checking of Notepad for instance, every time it is opened??? Why not bring back the old innoculate method?) -
    but I digress.
    For many, the slow Explorer problem exists without any of the suspects / causes mentioned in previous Posts, or elsewhere online.
    I repeat: 'This methodology has worked for me - Your Mileage May Vary'.
    Now for the fun & games:
    Kill the time and resource hog 'Indexing Services' - Plenty of advice on how to do that is available online.
    DISALLOW Indexing on all volumes.
    To retain the ability to search for my files, I have been using the Search Everything tool from:
    http://www.voidtools.com/ which searches ONLY on local or removable NTFS volumes. (ie NOT FAT32 USB Drives!)  But that poses very little problem when I examine my real-world use of any Search Tool.
    SE needs Administrator privileges for its low-level file-system access, certainly not an issue to have a responsive Global Search at your fingertips.
    With 34.5 Gb (> 137,000 files in > 20,000 folders) on HDD, and 627 Gb (> 2,300,000 files in > 82,500 folders) on a Portable USB Drive, Search Everything has about 74Kb RAM usage and the db file is 10.5 Mb on disk - not a huge overhead.
    The initial run occupied about 10 minutes of my setting options and less than 5 minutes for the building of the database.
    The online FAQ has plenty of information including how to use wildcards, Path Matching, boolean operators and regex use.
    With a lean mean responsive search at hand, now to clobber some more of the 'features' which are supposed to 'help' us in our computing experience...
    Big Guns Time!
    Start Group Policy Editor -
    Start > Run > gpedit.msc
    Navigate to:
    Local Computer Policy > Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Explorer
    Locate and ENABLE the settings as listed:
    1. Turn off the display of thumbnails and only display icons on network folders
    Disables the display of thumbnails on network folders in Windows Explorer.
    Windows Explorer displays thumbnails on network folders by default.
    If you enable this policy. Windows Explorer will only display icons and never display thumbnails on network folders.
    That gets rid of the first time-waster - Network access is slow enough without adding the extra traffic for thumbnails, and many PCs are stand-alone anyway.
    2. Turn off the caching of thumbnails in hidden thumbs.db files.
    Turns off the caching of thumbnails in hidden thumbs.db files.
    This policy setting allows you to configure Windows Explorer to cache thumbnails of items residing in network folders in hidden thumbs.db files.
    If you enable this policy setting, Windows Explorer does not create, read from, or write to thumbs.db files.
    If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, Windows Explorer creates, reads from, and writes to thumbs.db files.
    This goes hand-in hand with 1.
    3. Turn off Windows Libraries features that rely on indexed file data
    This policy setting allows you to turn off Windows Libraries features that need indexed file metadata to function properly. If you enable this policy, some Windows Libraries features will be turned off to better handle included folders that have been
    redirected to non-indexed network locations. Setting this policy will:
    * Disable all Arrangement views except for "By Folder"
    * Disable all Search filter suggestions other than "Date Modified" and "Size"
    * Disable view of file content snippets in Content mode when search results are returned
    * Disable ability to stack in the Context menu and Column headers
    * Exclude Libraries from the scope of Start search
    This policy will not enable users to add unsupported locations to Libraries.
    If you enable this policy, Windows Libraries features that rely on indexed file data will be disabled.
    If you disable or do not configure this policy, all default Window Libraries features will be enabled.
    Well, with Indexing turned OFF, this one is a real no-brainer, isn't it?
    4. Turn off the display of snippets in Content view mode
    Disables the display of snippets when Content view mode is turned on.
    Windows Explorer shows snippets in Content view mode by default.
    If you enable this policy, Windows Explorer will not display snippets in Content view mode.
    That stops peeking into every file and trying to decode the snippet - MORE time-saving.
    5. Turn off caching of thumbnail pictures
    This setting controls whether the thumbnail views are cached.
    If you enable this setting, thumbnail views are not cached.
    If you disable or do not configure this setting, thumbnail views are cached.
    Note: For shared corporate workstations or computers where security is a top concern, you should enable this setting to turn off the thumbnail view cache, because the thumbnail cache can be read by everyone.
    It (IMHO) is faster to generate the thumbnails as needed (for my usage anyway), rather than to be attempting to maintain a global cache each time a file is created, modified, deleted or moved.
    This completely cuts out the thumbnail caching overheads, and makes quite an impressive speed difference.  Even on an old 1.7 GHz Laptop with 2 Gb RAM and an Intel 915GM Graphics Card (NOT the best choice for Win 7 by any means!).
    6. Turn off numerical sorting in Windows Explorer
    This policy setting allows you to have file names sorted literally (as in Windows 2000 and earlier) rather than in numerical order.
    If you enable this policy setting, Windows Explorer will sort file names by each digit in a file name (for example, 111 < 22 < 3).
    If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, Windows Explorer will sort file names by increasing number value (for example, 3 < 22 < 111).
    Do I REALLY want to waste the time on this procedure? If I want to sequence my files, I'll prefix the filenames with 0's - 003 < 022 < 111. Not a problem!
    Subjectively, these changes make for a much more responsive system.
    Objectively, moving over 2.3 Gb (7,500+ files) via 'Drag & Drop' from HDD to USB Drive shrank from 12 Mins+ to about 8 Mins. Explorer did NOT 'freeze', and I could freely change the displayed folders in both the Source and Target Explorer windows.
    I hope that this is of use to others, it has served me well for the last several months.
    A few minor delays when wanting thumbnail views, but certainly FAR LESS DELAY than before the changes, and
    no more stalled Explorer.

  • Moving and renaming clips in the Project Window is EXTREMELY slow, but the rest of the program is fine?! PPro CS6

    I have Win7 Pro X64 with  Core i7 and 32GB RAM...
    When I'm editing and doing other things, adding FX etc, the program works fine BUT when I do ANYTHING in the Program Window i.e. renaming clips, moving clips, etc the program acts as if it's bogged down... I can't for the life of me figure this one out... 
    I don't have a large number of clips/footage items
    I've cleaned the cache
    What else could be causing this? When I say slow, I mean a good 10 seconds before the program responds to anything I've done, and when renaming clips, I always have to do it twice because the first time it doesn't "take"
    Thanks all for any help!
    Aza

    It occurs with or without clips in a sequence... the problem isn't the sequences, the problem ONLY occurs in the Project Panel, every other panel is as fast as my machine will allow (very fast) only the PROJECT Panel is EXTREMELY slow when moving clips into folders, etc
    ALSO, all my drives and preferences are set up the same in every project, only THIS project is moving slowly... I even divided the project up into 4 separate projects to cut down on the number of clips in each project, and it still moves slow... almost as if something has carried over to each project, or something

  • Bookmarks save only in 'recently bookmarked' folder & can not be moved to other folders

    I can no longer save bookmarks to a designated folder - they go only to 'recently bookmarked' folder and can not to moved to other folders- when attempting to move them to another folder, they appear in the designated folder list but when I return to the main browser page, they are not listed. They are still in the 'recently bookmarked folder' only. I have attempted to save bookmarks many times since, with no success.

    Those bookmarks should be located in one of the root folders.
    If you click the star in the location bar then the page will be bookmarked in the "Unsorted Bookmarks" folder and the star turns yellow (blue on Mac) to show that.<br />
    If you use "Bookmarks > Bookmark This Page" then the bookmark will go to the "Bookmarks Menu" folder (you need to confirm that).
    "Most Visited" and "Recently Bookmarked" and "Recent Tags" are examples of so called [[Smart Bookmarks folders|Smart Bookmarks folders]] and are not real existing folders.
    * Such smart folders show a list created by a query of the places.sqlite database that stores the bookmarks and the history in Firefox.
    * Bookmarks or history items that show up in a smart folder list are stored elsewhere in another folder and any changes made are applied to the real bookmark or history item.

  • In Mavericks, is there a way to sort by and arrange by date modified?

    In Mavericks, is there a way to sort by and arrange by date modified? I know how to do it in normal finder, however, if I try to upload something or open a document, it will not sort or arrange by date modified. I can sort by, but I cannot arrange by. It always seems to reset itself as well in finder for me. Is there a way to make this the default view?

    Hello Miss Vicky
    Check out the quoted section below to change how finder opens up as well as other information on changing Finder views.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13896
    How to set a preferred view
    There are several ways you may open a given item in a new Finder window for the purpose of saving a view, but this method is the simplest. Follow these steps:
    Close open Finder windows.
    Click the Finder icon in the Dock.
    Choose Preferences from the Finder application menu.
    Click "Always open folders in a new window" to enable that option.
    Open the item for which you wish to set a view. It should appear in its own new window.
    Set the desired view in the new window.
    Close the new window.
    Repeat Steps 5 to 7 for any item you wish to set.
    If desired, click "Always open folders in a new window" to disable that option.
    Close the Finder Preferences window.

  • Images (and image folders) in the same folder as Lightroom Catalog?

    I'm just switching over from Aperture 3 to Lightroom 4.  I'm wondering if its ok (or smart) to keep the images (and image subfolders) in the same folder that the Lightroom.lrcat and Previews files are kept in.  I'm trying to better organize my Pictures folder so that there are a whole bunch of separate sub-folders.  Thoughts?

    In Lightroom, there is no specific location where the photos should go. You can put them wherever you want, based upon your storage needs and hard drive setup.
    So, with regards to your specific question, yes you can put the photos in the same folder as where the .lrcat is located, I can't see any harm, but I also don't think you need to do the work to make that happen. You can pretty much leave your photos where they are (which is easier and less time consuming) than moving them to the .lrcat folder, and easier and less time consuming than moving them at all.
    In fact, I strongly suggest you change your thought processes from "Where do I put my photos" to "How can I organize my photos". Now that you are a Lightroom user, you organize your photos from within Lightroom, not by moving them here to there, but by adding keywords and other metadata. Organizing, now that you are LR user, is not folders ... it is metadata. Searching, now that you are a LR user, is not done in your operating system and in folders, it is done in LR by searching for keywords and other metadata.

  • In my Thunderbird I have 2 inboxes and deleted folders, 1 set in local folders 1 set above. How do I get back to only having one inbox and one deleted folders.

    I have one account in my Thunderbird mail. Some days ago I discovered I had two inboxes and two deleted folders. One set appears in the list at the lefthandside above local folders and the other set is under local folders. My outbox also appears under local folders.
    I have deleted or moved all the mail entris in the inbox which appears under local folders.
    How do I delete the superfluous inbox and deleted folders? How do I move the outbox so it appears above the local folders in the list? Many thanks for your help.

    Surely as I only have one account, I should only have one inbox. How does my POP mail decide into which inbox to put my incoming mail? The two inbox icons have the downward pointing arrow. One inbox is the first entry in the list (below my email address) and the second is the first entry below local folders.

  • LR5 stopped moving files between folders

    Hi everybody,
    I've noticed today that my LR5 stopped moving files between folders, I select files I want to move and drag them over to a new location like I always did before with only difference is now nothing happends, no messages with errors, nothing... I tried to google it and couldn't find anything related to my problem.
    I'm using Windows 8 x64. I checked the permissions on all the photo folders and everything seems to be correct. I also run LR under admin rights, so there shouldn't be any OS related issues... in addition, it was working just fine till today.
    I hope you can at least point me in right direction to dig more info on the problem with my LR5.
    Thx!

  • Unhide Files and/or folders in Bridge CS4

    The title says it all. Somehow, some of my folders became hidden. How did I accidentally hide the folders? How do I unhide folders?
    Thanks in advance.

    You don't give much details about version etc. but it might be possible that
    you have unchecked the show folders option in the view menu, go to view /
    show folder and see if a checkmark is put in front of it.
    But since you are talking about some folders are showing and some not you
    should first try to point bridge to the main folder that contains the
    subfolders and then go to the menu tools / cache / purge cache for folder
    and see if this helps solving your problem.
    Last option I can think of for now is that you have accidently moved some
    folders while selecting multiple files for moving to different folders. You
    can check this using find or  check it in the OS finder itself if they are
    really still there where they should be.
