Organize a huge number of events

I have more than 220 events to maintain a 10 year old photo colection (40Gb). Im searching for some kind of folders to group events. Something like event of events, that could permit to open or close the line like in the photo view happens when you click in the name of the event.
I dont want to use diferent librarys, i have iphoto library manager.
thanks

Im searching for some kind of folders to group events.
There isn't one.
Events are organisation for those who can't really be bothered. They are automatic - based entirely on Date and Time the camera records the photos as taken.
You can move photos between Events, you can Merge Events, you can Rename them and sort them in various ways except one: You cannot manually sort in an Event as Events are all automated. You cannot group Events into folders.
Use Albums instead. These can be grouped into Folders. You can make an Album from an Event simply by dragging the Event to the Album heading in the iPhoto Window.
Then consolidate the Events into larger groupings: I use Events simply as big buckets of Photos: Spring 08, July - Nov 06 are typical Events in my Library.

If you want to manually sort in an Event then you've outgrown Events as an organising tool. Now it's time to look at albums (Where you can manually sort) which are much more flexible than Events as an organising tool.

  • How can i organize a huge number of events?

    I just began with mac and iphoto. I imported a lot of photos from windows (google picasa) in iphoto (>17000). Now I have a huge number of events, which i would like to sort by e.g. years and months. Within the years and months, the events should be placed.
    Is this possible or what would you suggest to handle a lot of photos?
    Thank you in advance for any helpful answer.

    Assuming that you have events sorted by date (event menu ==> sort events) your events will be sorted by date & time - you can not create a substructure within events - it is a large flat set of photos
    If you want a hierarchal structure use albums and folders - albums hold photos and folders hold albums or other folders - you also can use smart albums to instantly find all photos from a date or a date range - or the search window in the lower left
    Events a a very basic, inflexible and pretty much automatic organization - just a starting point to hold photos
    I generally merge trips into a single event and leave the other time based - others merge even more having events like 1st quarter 2010 etc

  • Lightroom or Photoshop Elements for administrating huge number of photos?

    Dear photo experts,
    at home, we have a huge number of photos we took over years. We are looking for a software able to organize all of them. We currently have:
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 (Mac)
    Adobe Lightroom 3 (Mac)
    However, for organizing photos we so far use none of them but a third software (here, we are not happy about how it handles our huge catalog of photos).
    Our photos are stored on a server (network attached storage), organized by date and event.
    I read that Adobe Photoshop Elements cannot organize photos stored on a network drive.
    Now my questions:
    - Can Adobe Lightroom organize photos stored on a network drive?
    - Is Adobe Lightroom capable to organize a huge amount of photos in one single catalog (separating them via tags)?
    What are your experiences?
    Thanks a lot!
    JMickey

    I read that Adobe Photoshop Elements cannot organize photos stored on a network drive.
    I thought the opposite was true
    Can Adobe Lightroom organize photos stored on a network drive?
    As we say here in Rochester, NY, YES it can
    Is Adobe Lightroom capable to organize a huge amount of photos in one single catalog (separating them via tags)?
    Yes, this is one of Lightroom's strengths
    What are your experiences?
    I use Lightroom for all of my photo management (yes, I said ALL). I never use the operating system for photo management. Lightroom works great. People here in this forum who have much larger catalogs than I do (over 1/4 million photos) also use Lightroom to manage their photos.

  • My new events no longer show up in Events, since I upgraded to iPhoto 11 at the end of March. The number of events goes up, but they no longer show. The photos are in my photo place all right, but everything is getting every messy and confusing. Help!

    I upgraded to iPhoto 11 from iPhoto 08 at the end of March, 2012. Since then, although all my photos appear in the library,and the number of events tally goes up, no new events show up in Events. My iPhoto is getting very mess and confusing. I have checked preferences, and they are the same as what I always had (one event/day)

    Go into the Event mode and set the View ➙ Sort menu option to By Date, either ascending or descending, and look for the new events at the top or bottom of the list.
    You can view the last import in the Last Import section and then Control (right) click on one of the photos and select Show Event.  That will take you to the event where you can rename it at the top and then check to see where in the list it is placed.

  • I have downloaded Photoshop elements 5.0 to a new PC.  I recieve error message: "Your Adobe Photoshop Elements user name, organization, or serial number is missing or invalid. The application cannot continue and must now exit."

    I was referred here by customer service.  I have downloaded Photoshop elements 5.0 to a new PC.  After accepting the agreement I receive an error message saying  "Your Adobe Photoshop Elements user name, organization, or serial number is missing or invalid. The application cannot continue and must now exit."  There is no place to enter the serial number.

    All your pictures will remain safe even after uninstalling the program. Your pictures are saved to your system in form of catalog present at C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\Catalogs\<your catalog><br />When you reinstall the program you can open this catalog and view all your photos again.

  • User name, organization, or serial number is missing or corrupt.  FIX

    Regardless of how this is happening--or why----it IS happening every time I try to run Adobe Photoshop elements 4.0. I purchased the program back in October, 2005 and have never been able to use it for more than a day or two. Without fail, I will open the program and get the message: Your Adobe Photoshop elements user name, organization, or serial number is missing or invalid. The application cannot continue and MUST now exit. And, believe me, it EXITS immediately! In the past I have only been able to completely uninstall the program and then reinstall it---until the point where the program no longer appeared in the ADD/REMOVE programs of the control panel--although it was installed but not working. Apparently, registry cleaners can be the culprit, but I did a complete "CLEAN" install of Windows XP Professional/SP2 and started from scratch with ABSOLUTELY NO OTHER PROGRAMS INSTALLED EXCEPT ELEMENTS 4.0. The program worked for all of one day before I, again, got the error and could no longer use the program. Therefore, I can NOT blame registry cleaners alone. There is something inherent in Windows XP that causes this problem. Through this forum I was able to identify the exact registry key causing the problem:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{EBB7C1C1-D439-4D9B -9FDC-954C10F266B0}
    I was able to go to "regedit" (without the quotes) from the "run" menu and find this key (when the program was working). Highlight the key by clicking once on it and then go up to "file". Next, click "export" and save this key to notepad, Word or my documents---any place you know you can find it. I named it Adobe reg key.reg. The next time the program stops working, go to regedit---then to "file" and then "import". After clicking "import", find where you saved the key and click on it. This should import the key directly back into the registry where it belongs and the program should start working again. So far this has worked for me at least 5 times. There must be some fix for this-----from Adobe----soon. With this key exposed, what's to stop anyone from downloading the trial version, and then writing this key into the registry themselves. It's basically called a "crack" and could be used by anyone seeking to avoid paying for the program---SO----Adobe really needs to address this issue. I am totally against anyone stealing software in any way, shape or form, and I think this is what will happen unless Adobe gets a handle on this issue.

    Let me get this straight: Every time your PE4 stops working you have to do a registry edit to get it to work again? That's insane!!!
    I can sympathize with you, I've suddenly had similar problems with PE3 and have gotten little help from Adobe other than to be pointed to countless forum threads which do not answer the questions or solve the problem. Strangely it worked for several months before crashing and refusing to work again, not even able to re-install it.
    I was pointed to your thread because I was told it was probably my registry cleaner that caused my problem with PE3, obviously they didn'r really read your post.
    thanks, and good luck. I've gone back to PE2, at least it works and lets me get on with my workflow, which was being severely hampered by having to spend all my time searching for answers that don't seem to exist.

    Hello ...Mom,
    here you will find (if stored at Adobe) "General infos about your Adobe Account" https://www.adobe.com/account.html. To see what Adobe has saved about your serial number, please have a look there: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html.
    On the other hand you could use a non Adobe program, like

  • Cs2/Windows 7x64 - User name, organization, or serial number is missing or invalid?

    Ok, I'm at my wits end on this one.  I've installed and reinstalled this CS2 suite multiple times, tried to find the proper registry keys, pretty much anything i can think of to get this to work, but every time I go to boot up one of the programs in the suite (such as Photoshop) I get an error stating "Your Adobe Photoshop user name, organization, or serial number is missing or invalid.  The application cannot continue and must now exit".  There is only an OK box, and absolutely no way for me to look at the licensing information to see what it's getting hung up on.
    I've confirmed everything is correct upon installation.  I can't find an e-mail address for Adobe's customer support so I'm asking you guys - what the hell is going on with this software?  Anyone fix this before?

    @exshopper
    A few quick items:
    (1)     I genuinely hope you find satisfaction with PaintShop Pro and that it meets your needs, whatever they are.
    (2)     Bob Levine is not and has never been an employee of Adobe Systems Incorporated. He does speak his mind and certainly lets Adobe know when our products and policies need improvement. Without attempting to put words in his mouth, I think you may be objecting to the fact that he does understand the needs of software developers in terms of marketing and supporting their products and the value of same to customers. He does rightly point out that the monthly subscription costs for the tools they use to earn their living usually amount to far less expenditure than many if not most creative professionals spend each day on their favorite beverages. There is still a major failure of many computer users to comprehend the cost of development and support of software simply because software isn't “tangible” in the way computers, printers, and other peripherals are.
    (3)     When you refer to purchasing “the CS2 suite for 1500 pounds (over $3000 back then)” I assume that you are referring to the Creative Suite 2 Premium which included every creative product that Adobe had at the time including InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, GoLive, Version Cue, Bridge, Acrobat, etc. The “back then” was early 2005, nearly a decade which is an awful long time in this industry. If you “bought” the product more recently than eight years ago, much less five years ago, you already were purchasing something that was no longer current. And you certainly could not have purchased it from Adobe.
    (4)     I am sorry to read that your “computer died.” Was that computer nine years old? To be consistent with your expectations of Adobe, hopefully you expected your computer's manufacturer to continue to support that computer with a free or reduced cost repairs and/or replacement because you spent so much money on that computer. And of course you expected that new computer would run the exact same OS as your dead computer and support all your old peripherals including SCSI drives, diskettes, etc.
    (5)     Whether you or even I like it or not, the subscription model better reflects the reality of development, distribution, and support of software. Under the previous “perpetual license” scheme, you paid for a license to use the software for perpetuity on the hardware and software (i.e., OS) platforms for which it was developed and tested, nothing more. Unfortunately, the expectations of many of our customers was that somehow Adobe would provide free updates to their current program versions to provide support for future incompatible hardware and operating system platforms. However, that is a totally untenable business model. In contrast, many high end software applications (not graphic arts applications) not only charge for a license, but have a requirement for payment of either a monthly or annual maintenance contract which cover most such hardware/OS upwards incompatibility contingencies. The subscription model currently in-place basically eliminates the up-front licensing and a maintenance contract with a simple monthly fee that provides access to all updates and upgrades. It is fairly clear and simple.
    (6)     In terms of your costs over time, you didn't indicate which aspects of “CS2 suite” you were using, but given your apparent emphasis on image editing, Adobe does offer a very attractive subscription that includes both Lightroom and Photoshop.  Even if you don't use Lightroom at all, it is still a great price even just for Photoshop.

  • How do I delete a huge number of duplicate albums from my itunes for mac library?

    I have a huge itunes music library, over 900 GB, and as it turns out I have a huge number of duplicate albums.  Is there a way to automatically get rid of the duplicate albums so I am left with only one of each?  If not, what is the best way to identify and remove my library's duplicate albums?  Thanks!
    Cheers,
    Gerry

    iTunes does not have any automated way of deleting duplicates.
    You can identify the duplicates by
    View > Show Duplicates
    or
    Alt + View > Show exact Duplicates
    (or if you are on windows Shift+ View > Show Exact duplicates
    There is a third party tol which is free to download and then register. Although the copy I tried worked fine as a trial download

  • Maximum number of events per audit log file must be greater than 0.

    BOE-XI (R2)
    Windows Server 2003
    Running AUDIT features on all services.
    Report Application Server (RAS) keeps giving the following error in the Windows Application Event Log.
    Maximum number of events per audit log file must be greater than 0.  Defaulting to 500.
    I am assuming that this is because the RAS is not being used by anyone at this time - and there is nothing in the local-audit-log to be copied to the AUDIT database.
    Is there any way to suppress this error...?
    Thanks in advance for the advice!

    A couple more reboots after applying service pack 3 seemed to fix the issue.
    Also had to go to IIS and set the BusinessObjects and CrystalEnterprise11 web sites to use ASP .NET 1.1 instead of 2.

  • Huge number of files in the profile directory with at sign in the name

  • How can I reduce the number of event cases in the main VI?

    I would like to reduce the number of event case of the event structure in my main VI. E.g. I would like to have pop up window with a table when the user double click a table row. Nothing more simple than this: add a case to the event structure trigger by double clicking the table, read the table row ... But in my main VI I would have lots of them and the event structure gets crowded with minor tasks. One solution is using XControls. But is there any other recomended way to handle selected events separatly from the event structure in the main VI?
    to clarify: I don't want to distribute the whole event structure. (In this case the code would not be maintainable) But I would like to handle certain context specific events in a differnt place. If I have them all in the main VI the drop down list of the events in the event structure exceeds the windows size and the program becomes difficult to maintain because one looses the overview.

    "Strictly forbidden" is not true. But highly not recommended. The reason is simple:
    1. Code can react unpredictable. Dennis already stated some things about that in your linked thread. 
    2. Code is not readable and therefore not maintainable. Each event source should have only one event structure for its events. Since the UI is a single source, events from there should be captured in a single event structure. It is recommended to use this event structure as producer in a producer/consumer design pattern in order not to block the events.
    3. You will most propably need timeouts in your event structure which completly negates the advantage of event driven programming. Either use event driven programming or stay at polling. Do not mix (most of all because of maintenance).
    Regarding your "advantages" you listed:
    - Clustering  reduces readability in therefore should never be done. Additionally, it requires timeout cases in most places which is not recommended.
    - If you have such many events and interactions in your "sequence", it is a clear indication that you chose the wrong architecture for your application.
    Please see attached example. Since i am not used to program with more than one event structure (except if i have different dedicated event sources), the example is "constructed" and therefore may lack of "realism". Nevertheless, it shows some issues which might occur:
    - Blocking calls within the events lead to the fact that the UI is not responsive for the event time (FuncA). Nevertheless, interaction is still enqueued and if the blocking call is over, all those interaction are executed. In the example, please press FuncA and then press FuncC immediatly. You will see that nothing happens and after the 5s blocking call, the FuncC dialog appears. You also can switch tabs, but the visual display will update only after the 5s blocking call.
    - In order to keep the UI responsive, FuncB is configured not to block the UI. But this is no solution: Press FuncB (on page 2) and the change to page 1 and press FuncA. Additionally, press FuncC. What happens? Just to mess things up, press Stop as well......do this combination several times. It is possible that only the lower loop is finished and the VI is still running even if Stop has been pressed.
    Please note everyone that the attached example shoudl strictly be seen as "NEVER DO IT LIKE THIS". This is a negative example and shows the approach which is not recommended by any means!
