Safely rename project folders?

Will it cause any confusion with the routing of files if I change the name of a project folder?
TIA!

It shouldn't really. Projects are meant to be portable and function as 'standalone'. Even if you are sharing audio files between different projects, Logic will still find them even if you change all the folders names.

  • Saved old Events & Projects folders: How old delete safely?

    Hi
    When starting up FCPX 10.1, I chose to save my old Events and Projects folders used in earlier versions of FCPX, just in case.
    Now, happy with 10.1, just in case I feel like it, how would I delete them? Just trash them? Should/Can it be done thru FCPX?

    Luis!
    My thanks again! I'm surprised it's that simple, what's left after the upgrade must be just hard links in those folders, otherwise one would be trashing the real thang.
    Btw, I have this odd desire to cheer for Portugal in the upcoming World Cup...

  • Are the iMovie Events and iMovie Projects folders needed?

    I'm using version 10.0.6 of iMovie and moved some of my projects to an external HD using File > Move Events to Library.  I noticed in my Movies folder in my home directory that the related project folders under iMovie Events and iMovie Projects weren't moved.  It seems that these are left over after upgrading iMovie and that it just uses the iMovie Library and iMovie Theater bundles.  Can the iMovie Events and iMovie Projects folders be safely deleted?

    Yes they can be deleted if you have moved all the projects you want to work further on to iMovie 10, have checked that they are working OK, and are happy with switching permanently to iMovie 10.  (There's no going back).
    On the other hand if you leave them you can still use the earlier version of iMovie.

  • Organizing for stock library. Projects, folders or albums?

    This may have been talked about to death, but I cannot find a thread that fits my question.
    I have a growing library of images in Aperture. I am also a stock photographer by living. My library in Aperture is somewhat haphazard and I'm trying to organize it so that I can have it make sense. I do not sell my photos as stock myself (I submit to several agencies) so I'm not sure that I need to file my images so that I can get to them if a client needs a shot. That's what the agencies are for.
    My work flow is something like this:
    1 - shoot pix
    2 - import and edit (read: delete) images in Aperture
    3 - prepare and submit images to agencies
    4 - next....
    I do find myself taking pix of many of the same subjects, so I do want to organize them in Aperture.
    My main question is, what is the best, or most efficient, way to organize major subjects in the library, with Projects, Folders, or Albums?
    For instance, I shoot a production with models. That could be a project titled " August 14 production." When the submission is done, i could archive the entire project to save space. But, suppose I want to keep some around to submit to a different agency. Is a project the best way to store this?
    Also, I find myself shooting a lot of NYC landmarks. Should each landmark be in its own project, or have it be an album in a project called NYC, or should it be a project in a folder called NYC?
    I'm really not sure what the most efficient filing method is for my business.
    Any discussion and/or advice is GREATLY APPRECIATED!

    gustavus:
    n attempting to relocate a folder it did not end up where intended and I cannot find it.
    I hope you are referring to doing the relocation from within iPhoto and not in the Finder and the library package. Any moving, renaming of files and/or folder inside the iPhoto Library Package while in the Finder is tantamount to the cardinal sin of iPhoto, Don't tamper with files in the iPhoto Library folder from the Finder. That will mess up your library to where you may have to start over with a new library.
    Can you describe where these folders and albums were located when you were moving them?
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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), 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 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Renaming Projects in RH6

    I have a pretty large project created in RH6. I'd tell you
    how many topics are in it, but RH6 crashed while running the topic
    report.
    Anyway, I'm a template nut: I like having a bare-bones
    project with topics linked, index created, etc., then make a copy
    of the entire project, and apply client-specific info to the copy.
    This method involves renaming the project copy, but I've not had a
    great deal of success here. When it's finished (or when I think
    it's finished), there are so many broken links afterward, that I'm
    forced to delete the copy, make another one and try again.
    No, there are no broken links in the original project.
    I am not using RoboSource Control.
    I have not made any attempts to rename anything with Windows
    Explorer or another 3rd party tool.
    Is this just symptomatic of "version point zero" gremlins? Is
    there an ETA on a patch?

    Hey Peter. yes, I'm glad it works too. I've got a lot to
    report:
    1) I have no HHP file in the renamed project at all. The HHP
    file exists in the original, however. And when I copied the
    original project to the new folder in Windows Explorer, you can bet
    the HHP file was there too. Only after the renaming did the HHP
    file disappear.
    2) There IS an fpj file in every folder. Do you mean why
    would a list be needed? A list would be needed so that during
    renamings, RH6 can check the list to ensure all of them are
    accounted for. In this case, clearly, somehting is happening to one
    of them. So perhaps a list isn't the worst idea?
    3) Yes, I've made another copy, I've renamed the copy and the
    very same subfolder's fpj file is getting wiped out. There's
    nothing missing with the original project, I assure you. So if
    those subfolders are present in the original project, then they're
    present in the copy. And by the way...it's not that there's no fpj
    file in hw. The file exists. It just contains this:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252"?>
    <rhpml majorversion="1" minorversion="0">
    <folders>
    <folder>
    <name>images</name>
    </folder>
    </folders>
    <topics/>
    </rhpml>
    In the above, I notice there's no <topics> tag to
    accompany <topics/> (which is the wrong syntax anyway). It's
    completely correct in the original fpj, filled with a list of
    topics and folders.
    What's truly baffling is this: if the fpj file is being wiped
    out, then how can it be that all the links between the pages in hw
    and all the subfolders are intact? After all, only the TOC and
    Index links are broken.

  • HT200183 If I wanted to include apple loops in the assets of Logic project folders that are part of a tutorial available for download on a paid educational website would that be ok?

    If I wanted to include apple loops in the assets of Logic project folders that are part of a song that follows a tutorial available for download on a paid educational website would that be ok? No one would be paying for the file itself that's part of the membership. I don't want to get into any copyright problems. I understand that they are royalty free and you can include them in your music no problem but the individual loops would be in the audio folder if I saved all the assets to the project file.
    Also, would it be ok to include screen shots I take myself of apple programs in my downloadable content?
    Just trying to figure out exactly how I should go about it to avoid any legal issues.

    My gut reaction is that you may well run into © issues if you re-distribute the original AppleLoops.If your customers are paying for the training, they are also paying for the content you provide, so I feel that you would be re-selling the loops.
    Given that anyone who has a copy of Logic would likely have installed all the loop content, there should be no need to distribute them with the project files. Alternatively, make your own loops.

  • I use a browser application called Changepoint...a project time recording tool. It does not navigate to the project folders or interact at all using Firefox, only IE. What do I need to ask the tech team to troubleshoot why it doesn't work with Firefox?

    See question. I'm assuming that I or them are missing something with the handshake once the basic appl is launched. The Changepoint appl does launch in the browser...it just doesn't function when you get into it, e.g. clicking on a hyperlink on the screen doesn't launch a sub-appl/module to show project folders. It doesn't crash the browser or window, it just doesn't do anything.

    Check with Changepoint support and ask if that application is made to be compatible with Firefox, and which versions of Firefox it has been tested with.

  • Renaming files/folders on desktop: weird.

    Hi
    Since I have OSX Lion, and I want to rename files/folders on my desktop nothing happens.
    Or at least not what is suppose to happen. Pressing enter in a finder window works perfect, like always.
    But when I hit enter on a file or folder on my desktop it go's blank.
    I can't see what i'm doing, but the name will change if I typ a new one. Quit confusing and realy difficult to work with. Any idea's how to fix this?

    This has been driving me nuts but I accidentally found the cause...but not the solution.  It is a Lion thing as spaces did not have this issue.
    I am assuming you are using multiple screens (mission control, formerly spaces).  If you go to screen 1 and try to rename the file you CAN see the name as you rename it.  If you go to any other screen and try to rename it you get the blank space. 
    In my case I never rename files on my main screen.  I always rename them on which ever screen I am working (word is screen 5, so docx saved to the desktop are renamed on screen 5).

  • Unable to rename white folders

    I'm unable to rename the white folders of an IMAP account.
    I can rename white folders "On My Mac" and I can rename all blue folders. I just can't rename the white folders of an IMAP account.
    I get the following error:
    Error
    The IMAP command "RENAME" (to new folder name) failed with server error: Mailbox does not exist.
    Any ideas?

    Create new folder with correct name, move contents from old folder into new folder and delete old folder.

  • Can't name new folders or rename existing folders in Finder

    I can't name new folders or rename existing folders in Finder. I've never had this happen before. I tried both using the new folder icon and choosing "new folder" from the actions icon. The only unusual thing I'm doing now is working with Spaces enabled, but I can't imagine that this has anything to do with the problem. Selecting and hitting "return" doesn't allow me to either erase existing text or overwrite with new text. Any ideas?
    Thanks.
    Sue A.

    Same here --
    I just created a new folder and couldn't change its name. Finder would give me "more info" (permissions certainly not an issue) and allow me to delete (and then recreate) the folder, but not change its name.
    Problem came from out of the blue, on a one-week-old system with all OS updates. Also found this old thread, which also suggests a Finder restart: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8989639
    So that'll probably do it, but what gives?
    Not so impressed with 10.5.7 so far... first a complete system crash while doing no more than downloading updates (a few hours after booting up for the first time), then networking stopped working (see http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2003868), now this...

  • Deleting Project Folders in X5

    Please Help.
    I'm using RH X5 with SVN as my source control software. I
    cannot delete top level project folders after I have created them.
    How can I delete them?
    Thank you.

    Thanks for your help. In another thread, Peter G. also
    suggested checking your local directory (outside of RH) to make
    sure there are no files in the folder you are trying to delete. To
    add, I found images that were still in the folder. I forgot to move
    them. Finally, Peter G. suggested to use the Unused Files report. I
    still have to try that.

  • Keeping Synced Backup of Library - In Project Folders

    Can't find a way to do this online - probably because I can't think of the right way to get any sensible results from a search.
    Basically, I have my Aperture library which is ~100GB (which is already backed up in a couple of places). I also want JPEG versions of everything in my library so I can keep a copy online (ideally via iDisk, part of MobileMe - but I can do that as a separate step if necessary), and want photos kept in their project folders.
    Any ideas how I can do that? Looks like i'll need a plugin or automator to do it, but there may be a function I've missed somewhere. Seems like it should be simple enough, but I'm struggling (bearing in mind I don't want a complete re-export each time, just export whatever was updated since the last export)...
    David

    Hi christian,
    For future reference, backup the entire iPhoto Library folder. You need all the data files in there for it to work correctly.
    For your situation now, there is no way to relink originals with the modified versions.
    You can manually go through the modified folder and see if you want the modified version of a photo instead of the original. If you do, drag the modified version into the same roll in the Originals folder and it will replace the original as they have the same name.
    Then create a new library and import just the Originals folder.

  • FC Events & Projects folders on external HD, and some clips missing.

    Hello there,
    Searched for an answer, but nothing seems to be exactly my experience.
    To help my MBP perform better, I moved my FCP X "events" & "projects" folders to an external LaCie HD. Folks here say they should be at the "root". Unsure how to check that, but I do know they are at the lowest level of folder on the drive, with no other folders above them.
    Most clips show up in all the projects when FCP X is opened. But some don't; modifying event references with Inspector leads to the event not showing up at all, so I can't even move it to the top.
    Then tried to "import from camera" and open the LaCie drive as an archive. But when clicking on the proper event folder, the message appears, ""Intrvw-WendyEllen_20Jun11" contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches supported media."
    Original media files on HD are all still there from when I first imported into FCP X. Now the same files are duplicated in the FCP X "events" folder, which also got moved to the external HD. Choosing either folder gets the same message.
    According to the manual, the yellow alert triangle showing in the timeline means the event is missing.
    <complaint> FCP X isn't very intuitive or user friendly on directing it to see the proper files. If something is missing, why can't I just pick where FCP should look for those files? Why can't I recreate a new path to those files, of the original one was broken? I'm not keen on the Events & Projects folders _having_ to be _set in stone_ on the MBP's harddrive. Where those files lie should be a choice.</complaint>
    My system is 2.2GHz Intel Core i7, 8GB RAM w/ Mac OS X 10.6.8. 
    Please let me know what I'm missing that FCP can no longer find the proper files. I'm sure it's something super easy, too obvious to figure out. In fact, if there's a way to ditch the "events' folder altogether & just have FCP X pull/render from the external HD files all the time, I'd love to learn that solution.
    Thanks in advance!

    You are correct about root ... no other folders above the FCP X folders is the way it's supposed to be.  I noticed that FCP X can get confused if you first opened up or created a project with the Final Cut Pro folders on your system drive then you try to make a copy of them on an external drive.  That is what I did at first also.  I would recommend moving your system drive Final Cut Pro X folders to a safe backup drive such as usb, etc then ejecting that drive.  Make sure they no longer exist on the system drive.  Then go to your external drive where you first copied them to and go into the Final Cut Projects folder. Then go into a folder that has the name of your project, or if you created "Folders" in FCP X to put your projects in then go into the folder that has the name of the folder you created within FCP X.  Within one of those will be a folder named after your project name you had assigned it in FCP X.  Inside that will be a file called CurrentVersion.fcpproject. Double click on that file, and Final Cut Project X will open with that project. In your Project Library window on the lower half of the display, over against the left you will see Macintosh HD, or whatever your system drive is called.  Under that will be the name of your external drive. Indented to the right slightly under your external drive will be the name of the project you have just loaded.  Just keep working in that one from now on without moving the old FCP X folders backing onto the system drive.  If you get some clips that are red meaning that FCP X can no longer find them, copy them from your original system drive or the Final Cut Events folder to the event name you had placed them in when you imported them into your project.  You can also simply find them and re-import them into FCP X and be done with it.  It has been my observation that you do not want to have two Final Cut Project or Events (or any of the other) FCP X folders on two drives that are active at the same time.  Best practice is to leave them off your system drive and put them on an external Firewire drive.  If you need to make a backup of them periodically, put a usb drive or another Firewire drive on your system WITHOUT GOING INTO FINAL CUT PRO X, and use Finder to simply copy the folders to the other drives as a backup ... then eject the backups.  You can then continue working in FCP X.  Sounds detailed, but the bottom line is FCP X does not seem to like two FCP X file systems on two attached drives at the same time.  At least that's the way it has seemed in my experience.  Hope this helps.

  • Applescript to rename projects

    Hi,
    Does anyone know if you can use Applescript to rename projects in A3?
    I'm looking to automagicly name projects by running a script on import, but haven't much experience in Applescript.
    Cheers
    Darren

    It is possible. Below is an example on how to do it and you probably will need to tailor it for your specific needs.
    tell application "aperture"
    tell project "x"
    set name to "y"
    end tell
    end tell
    Be sure to check out Aperture 3's dictionary and the Aperture 3 AppleScript Reference guide (<http://images.apple.com/aperture/resources/pdf/Aperture3_AppleScriptReference.pdf>) for more information.
