Preserving Folder Structure when Exporting?--A question

A very simple need that I have: I have a Folder in IPhoto on my laptop, left over from a recent trip. The Folder is organized into ten "Albums, which are trip segments. All I want to do is to Export [or Copy] this Folder on an external hard drive, for security purposes and to Import the Folder [and Albums] into IPhoto on my primary desktop computer.
I can export all the contents of the Folder, but I have struggled to find a way to do this that preserves the organization of the Albums inside the Folder. What I end up with is all 652 photos [in this example] in one huge sequential order.
Please advise what I can do to export and maintain the Folder structure. Thanks!!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You can connect the two computers so that the iPhoto Library on each can be accessed by the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager (residing on one of the two Macs) and then copy the albums or events, including keywords, descriptions and titles from the laptop library to the desktop Mac.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar.

Preserve folder structure when exporting JPGs?

Is there a way to preserve the folder structure of a catalog when exporting JPGs of everything to a new location? I know there is an option to save the export into the same folder as the original file, but i am talking about a completely new location. That would be really helpful.

Lightroom doesn't support it directly. However, try this plug-in http://photographers-toolbox.com/blog/2009/06/exporting-a-folder-hierarchy-from-lightroom- lrtreeexporter-released/

Preserving Folder Structure When Exporting

Hello,
I recently bought a fancy new hard drive and I would love to export my photos onto there. I have lovingly organised my photos within Aperture using its folders, projects etc, however, the same can not be said for the masters on the harddrive which are organised appalingly.
Is it possible to export all the photos while conserving the Aperture file structure, which could be viewed in Finder?
On a sideline, would it be possible to then use the hard drive to use as a aperture library, retaining edits and versions within Aperture?
Thanks for any help,

Maintain smart folder structure when exporting

When exporting a project with albums the result is a folder structure that matches (the project is at the root with multiple dirs underneath that correspond to the albums). However when I do this with smart albums within a project the result is just a single directory with all images crammed in that one directory. Is there a way around this? I wa

There is a workaround to move from 1.5 version to the older 1.4 version. But this could be specific to the browser setting the JRE version.
Excerpts from sun docs:
However, a user can still run older versions. To do so, launch the Java Plug-in Control Panel for the older version, then (re)select the browser in the Browser tab.
Example:
Assume you are running on Microsoft Windows with Microsoft Internet Explorer, have first installed version 1.4.2, then version 5.0, and you want to run 1.4.2.
Go to the j2re1.4.2\bin directory where JRE 1.4.2 was installed. On a Windows default installation, this would be here: C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2\bin
Double-click the jpicpl32.exe file located there. It will launch the control panel for 1.4.2.
Select the Browser tab. Microsoft Internet Explorer might still appear to be set (checked). However, when 5.0 was installed, the registration of the 1.4.2 JRE with Internet Explorer was overwritten by the 5.0 JRE.
If Microsoft Internet Explorer is shown as checked, uncheck it and click Apply. You will see a confirmation dialog stating that browser settings have changed.
Check Microsoft Internet Explorer and click Apply. You should see a confirmation dialog.
Restart the browser. It should now use the 1.4.2 JRE for conventional APPLET tags.
Details are here
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/deployment/deployment-guide/jcp.html
My system (Windows XP) has the version 1.5_09 set as the default. However i just installed JRE 1.5_06 and would like to revert back to _06 as the default JRE..
Will update if i find more information

Sapinst generated an empty directory structure when exporting DB

I try to use SAPINST (i.e. db-independent) exporting a DB.
However, even it is done without any error, only an empty folder structure is generated:
folder ABAP ( which is empty)
file: LABELIDX.ASC
I remember about 2 years ago, I had to copy the migration monitor related *.SAR files into the sapinst directory and then
start export_monitor.sh to kick off the background exporting job which generated the export dump. However I cannot find
that document I made then.
Could you help recall?
Thanks!

There are 2 sapinst at SMP for 701.
I have tried the newer one sapinst 701_2.
Please advise.
Thanks!
P.S. This morning I tried 701_1 from scratch. But no dump file generated.

Retaining folder structure when importing videos

Having created a new library just for my videos I want to import them but without copying into iTunes. I know how to do that.
But I do not know how to reflect the folder structure in iTunes. What I mean is this:
My videos are in several folders (which happen to be at the same level) e.g.
<European vacations> <North American Vacations> <Cruises> .....
When I Add to library or drag and drop the individual videos are imported but the structure ofthe folders is not. (so far as Ican tell)
Is there any way to do this so that I can navigate to a folder using iTunes?
It is my intention to buy an AppleTV to hook up to my LAN and HD TV.
Right now I'm using another piece of SW and I cna navigate the folders.
TIA for your suggestions

On my hard disc, the music is stored in folders, as below:
Classical>
Beethoven>
1st Symphony>
-1st Movement
-2nd Movement
-3rd Movement
-4th Movement
Rock>
Allman Bros.>
Brothers and Sisters>
-song1
-song2
-song3
-etc.
Eat A Peach>
-song1
-song2
-song3
etc.
But I can't figure out how to load all this music into iTunes while retaining the folder structure, it just dumps them all together in the main playlist...

Folder Structure Archiving: exporting folder structure + content

Hi,
I would like to copy a part of an existing folder structure (with included contents) from a production UCM 11g instance (I'm using Folder_g) to a development instance (using a tar of the newly created archive).
I'm trying to use Folder Structure Archiving component.
I'm using the guide:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/doc.1111/e10792/c06_migration.htm#CHDFHEEI
Now, I successfully executed step 6. of "8.10.3.1 Creating a Folder Structure Archive".
However if I list on filesystem the newly created archive, what can I only see is the archive.hda file (...without references to selected folders) and no contents.
Contents was exported?...if yes, where I can found them?...if no, how can I export them?
What I expected to have is a "regular" archive as produced by the Archiver tool...
I'm missing something?
Any helps will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Best regards.
Simone.

Hi Simone,
I was also facing the same issue. You can try one thing, create an archive folder in your source ucm server through archiver. In the Export Data tab specify the custom query as -> xCollectionId = <Your Folder Collection Id>.You can get the collection id of your folder by seeing the preview without specifying any query and then select the extra column 'Folder' to see in the table. In this way you can export the content for the selected folder.
After that, go to the Folder Structure Archive tool and select the archive you just now have created and then slect the folder structure you want to archive.
This is not the correct way but you can try.
Thanks,
Sachin

Can't see folder structure when PDF folder in Lotus notes

Hi All,
We are using Lotus Notes 8.5 with Adobe Acrobat Professional 9. In the Lotus Notes client, this one user clicks on the "Convert Selected folders to PDF', and a box comes up asking her to select the folders she wants to convert.
The problem we run into is that you cannnot see the folder structure in the box. You only see the dots and boxes that outline the structure. This is inside her FOLDERS folder. I uploaded a picture. Hopefully you can see it.
Thanks!

Have you tried recreating the site definition in Dreamweaver? Sometimes stuff happens and the Dreamweaver site definition gets corrupted - and then all sorts of stuff can go wonky (like folders not showing up correctly).

Allow export to preserve folder structure

When I export a folder of the library (via File/Export...) that has subfolders, I'd like Lightroom to put the converted files into a tree structure that matches the library's structure. Currently, it always puts all of the files into a single directory. I want to export a tree of small jpgs (for example) that matches the structure of the library which is full of RAW images. The current behaviour of flattening everything out into one directory is undesirable at best and problematic when there are multiple files by the same name scattered throughout the library.
Alternatively, a command-line utility to convert any image (as modified by the metadata database/XMP files) to another format would be sufficient for me to implement it on my own.
Thanks,
-john.

If I read that thread correctly, they are looking for a way to export the photos into the same directory as the source photos (or a subdir of it). That would cause problems for me because I like to sync my directories and I don't want my exported photos showing up in Lightroom.
I want a completely different directory to be created but with the same structure as the source. For example, export the following files (which are in the Lightshop library):
d:\raw\2006\2006_12\img_0001.cr2
d:\raw\2006\2006_12\big_event\img_0001.cr2
d:\raw\2007\2007_01\img_0001.cr2
d:\raw\2007\2007_02\img_0001.cr2
to the directories:
d:\jpg\2006\2006_12\img_0001.jpg
d:\jpg\2006\2006_12\big_event\img_0001.jpg
d:\jpg\2007\2007_01\img_0001.jpg
d:\jpg\2007\2007_02\img_0001.jpg

HT2729 How can I maintain folder structure when copying more than 1 folder of videos to the iphone?

Spent hours trying to figure this out - no luck!
I have a video tutorial course that I would like to be able to view on my iPhone, the only problem is that it is broken down into 6 folders - 1 for each subject.
And if I add the whole course to be synced via iTunes it gets copied ok. But it loses the original folder names that the files are stored in on my PC
ALL the videos files copied to the iPhone are bunched togeather in the Video app and it takes forever to figure out which one comes next.
How can I maintain the original folder names/structure that the files are stored in on my PC on the iPhone?

To follow how I solved this it might be good to know what I started with:
I have a main folder which I called 'Music Theory' and 6 sub-folders: 101, 102, 103, ....etc.
with up to 20 or so videos in each one.
Note: Only import one sub-folder at a time into iTunes and then do all the following actions BEFORE importing the next sub-folder:
Add only 1 sub-folder to the 'Films' section in iTunes (either drag and drop or use the File - Add Folder to Library).
Select all the imported videos (hold down the Ctrl + A keys on the keyboard simultainiously).
Right click and select 'Get Info'
Then you may get a pop-up with this text but just click the 'Yes' button:
You should now have the 'Multiple Item Information' window showing. Click on the 'Options' tab and edit as below:
Tick: 'Media Kind'              and from the Drop Down Box choose: 'TV Programme'
Tick: 'Part of a Compilation' and from the Drop Down Box choose: 'Yes'
Tick: 'Remember Position'        and from the Drop Down Box choose: 'Yes'
Now click on the 'Video' Tab of the 'Multiple Item Information' window and edit:
The 'Programme' text field (I entered Music Theory) This will be the main heading for all the folders that I want to add to this series.
The 'Series' text field (I entered 101 for the first sub-folder)
Now click the 'OK' button.
iTunes now starts processing all you have done and moves the vildeos to the 'TV Progammes' section.
The first part is now done!
Now you should repeat all the actions you have done from the start on each sub-folder you want to include in this Video collection, then when you've done that you can upload the lot to your device (iPhone in my case) with this last step:
All you need to do now is select your device under 'Devices' in the left hand menu and tick the 'Sync TV Progammes' box in the 'TV Progammes' section and select the series that you want include in the right hand area. And then click 'Apply' and now your done!!!    :-)

Can Plan Layout in Muse be carried through to a site's folder structure when hosted on a 3rd party site?

I've reworked a site in Muse (desktop version only, at this stage). Some of my pages in the old site had very high organic search results in Google, so I need to keep the file structure of the new site the same. Since I published the Muse version of my site a few days ago, the number of visitors has literally dropped to just 10% of what it usually is!
Muse seems to create only a flat site (all pages are created directly in the root folder only), and the Plan structure in Muse does NOT carry through to the file structure of the site when published with "Upload to FTP host" . I am concerned that the Plan layout is only concerned with menu auto-fill functionality, and does not reflect any physical structure.
Any solutions? Am I doing something wrong, or is this a limitation of Muse?
Many thanks.

Preserving 16x9 format when exporting jpg

Hi. I am exporting from FCE, still images from a sequence using File/Export/Quicktime conversion and still image or image sequence settings. The project is from HDV and is in widescreen but the exported jpg images are 'tall and thin', indicating it has somehow converted from 16x9. I cannot find any reference to this in the FCE manual. Can you help? (I am UK based, using PAL and capturing the HDV footage using Easy Setup setting HDV-Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i50) - Thanks, Max

Why are you exporting image sequences? What are you trying to do? HDV 1080 material is normally squeezed for compression from 1920 to 1440. That's the way the HDV 1080 format is designed so that's what you get when you export an image sequence. If you're going back to video this is the best way to leave your material as it's the least manipulated that way. If you're doing something else then you have to readjust the images.

Preserving AC3 passthru when exporting

Hello all,
I have a movie file, extension .m4v that I made from HandBrake on the AppleTV 2 setting, and the only audio info included in this file is the AC3 passthrough track (which is 5.1 surround). I wanted to set a poster frame for the movie, and I did, but then it asked me to save the movie file. So I did, but the new movie was only in 2-channel stereo. So now I'm thinking I should set the poster frame, but instead of saving, I should export it.
My question: is there a way to export this file and maintain the AC3 passthrough track without having to convert it? Or, a more to-the-point question, is there a way to add a poster frame to a movie file without having to convert the AC3 track into something else?
Thanks for all your help!
Ben

I wanted to set a poster frame for the movie, and I did, but then it asked me to save the movie file.
How did you set the poster frame? How did you "save" the movie? For what use? For example, using QT 7 Pro to set the poster frame (as a referenced movie frame) and then using the "Save As..." option should save all source file tracks in their original compression format to a new MOV file container along with the the correct movie frame referenced as the "poster" image. On the other hand, iTunes can also set a frame of a movie as a "poster" image but stores it differently. Both methods create a "poster" image that can be used by apps programmed to use them. However, an "poster" image created by the latest version of ITunes would not be recognized by the QT 7 Player.
My question: is there a way to export this file and maintain the AC3 passthrough track without having to convert it? Or, a more to-the-point question, is there a way to add a poster frame to a movie file without having to convert the AC3 track into something else?
No. You could, I suppose, remux the source AC3 audio track with an exported video track but the act of exporting the video will, by its very nature, remove your "poster" image/frame reference.
