Show stacked images in Previous Import

Consider the following scenario:
1. Import an image.
=> The imported image is shown. In the left panel Previous Import is selected.
2. Export the image to a plugin.
=> The exported image is processed by the plugin and reimported and stacked with the original imported in step 1.
=== Actual in LR3.0 ===
As long as the user remains on Previous Import, the original is shown as being a stack of 2, but expanding the stack does not show the 2nd image.
=== Expected ===
Always have the contents of a stack available.

With Previous Import the behavior is a little different from Collections - in Collections the case I described does not result in a stack. Period. In Previous Import, a stack is created, but you cannot see the contents when expanding it. This looks much more like a bug than a feature that is not supported under certain circumstances.

Find previously imported images (Already in Catalog)

Back in LR1 and LR2, when I tried to import images that were already present in the catalog, I had an option to show me / select the already imported images. This is gone in LR4. How can I find in the library the already imported images without fecthing them one by one ?

Thanks john but after trying your suggestion things didn't change (importing an already existing image I get the message "no phots or videos were found to import"). As for my reasons of having such workflow, here is the explanation: I work as fashion photographer and I shoot about 500 pics per session. I use an external software to select the "good enough" images (as its preview is 20 times faster than the ridicously slow LR or other Adobe softwares) and the images selected in a first time can be (almost always are) different from those chose in a second time (as different people are involved in the editing process). @cornelia: images must be good enough to me or to the editor, not to LR, and we might have different opinion and in different moment. At the same time I cannot import 500 images a day in LR.
In any case my main point is that this feature (i.e. the warning that the images were already in the catalog, and where) existed on previous releases of LR and now disappeared, apparently.

Spotlight lists items and shows preview images. BUT what about showing the path/location address of an item in my computer.
Especially important if I've put the item in the wrong folder and what to locate it without multi-steps. iMac OS X 10.5 was more useful.
Old OSX Spotlight function automatically displayed path/location within the machine: e.g. desktop/folder/sub-folder/item.
Can I make Spotlight show the path?

Press option-command and the path is displayed at the bottom of the little preview window. Press command-return and the enclosing folder opens.

LR 5.6 on Mac desktop all of a sudden will not read any card from any reader but will work on my laptop. I can work on previous images but not import new ones. Even if I create a catalog on laptop and import to my desktop on a thumb drive, the images are only accessible as long as the thumb drive is inserted.

Sounds like you may need to repair the Disk Permissions on your drive where your images are stored.

Greyed imaged in the Import dialog box mean you have already imported the photos into Lightroom, so there is no need and no benefit to importing them a second time.
Just go to the Library module, search for the desired photos, and resume working on these photos.

Have made some slide show libraries on publisher then saved as jpg however when I sync through itunes to my ipad the previous import is over written. Can anyone offer a solution. Thanks

I have tried much of the same - still no joy.
I also reported it as a bug to Apple although the response page said "we can't reply to messages"
For now I have had to turn off auto syncing and keep plugging and unplugging until the device is recognised correctly - about 1 in 10.
In my email to apple I also listed the contents of the xml file that keeps track of the devices that iTunes has seen:
When seen as an ipad:

You will see from the Use Count that these are adjacent connections, ie plugged in as ipad then as iphone. Apart from the device class, everything else is the same.

SSRS MHTML Report showing chart image from a previous email

Hi there,
I am having an issue with SSRS reports subscription emails. I am sending a report as MHTML with some charts, which are end up as images within the email body. The issue is that outlook is inconsistent with what it is deciding to show as the image.
At times it will show an image from a previous days email, effectively delivering the wrong information. It is obviously using some caching. I have read others having similar issues with iPhone/safari, but have yet to see this issue with
Outlook. I am wondering if there is a way to control the naming of the images to force the mail client to render the intended image. There is huge risk in delivering the wrong information. Or alternatively, if there is a way to modify the
MHTML output after the subscription runs to add some meta information, if that would even work.

Hi Jamie,
According to your description, there are charts in the report, you configured subscription for the report and render format is MHTML. The problem you are facing is that sometimes the information of subscription comes from previous days.
To troubleshoot the problem, please refer to the following steps:
By default, the Subject of subscription includes following variables: @ReportName, @ExecutionTime. Please validate that the @ExecutionTime in email body is the same with schedule of the subscription, and make sure that the report is delivered correctly.
Please login web-based email and validate that the information of delivered report is correct. If the information of web-based email is not the same as outlook, then the problem may be cause by using caching in outlook. If that is the case, we can resolve
the problem by disabling Cached Exchange Mode. Please refer to the link:

If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,

LR not showing all images on card during Import

I have the latest version of LR. iMac and Canon 7D. With my camera tethered directly to my computer, I start the Import Photos process. When the thumbnails begin to load, it seems like if I have a large amount of photos to import (from 8GB card), it always leaves off the last hundred or two (approximately). They just don't show up. I'll import what is visible, then go back and do another import immediately. All the ones that have been imported show up as greyed out thumbnails, then the remaining images on card will be avavilable for Import.
Why is Lightroom not seeing all the images the first time??

Yes it is.

Safari is unable to load any more images, works fine on the desktop, but not on the iPad.

LR4.3 does not show previously imported CR2 files (5D mark III) by trial version

LR4.3 does not show previously imported CR2 files taken using 5D mark III by trial version.
When tried to synchronize the files not show when browsing, the import window comes up. All the Jpeg files, Raw files are seen in the window. None of them are highlighted nor selectable. LR is assuming that those files are already imported but if imported they are being shown for browsing or editing

Maybe you have set a Filter in LR. Press Ctrl-L once or twice to turn it off.
Maybe you don't have "All Photographs" selected in the Catalog Panel on the left.

Aperture 3 Import Dialog Doesn't Show Any Images

Sometimes the import dialog just doesn't show any images. First time I encountered this I had to restart Aperture. But now even that doesn't help.
Screenshot:

Any ideas or fixes?

Hello qua
You don't say what your source is when your imports have been experiencing problems. Are you importing directly from a camera (or a card in a card reader)? Or are you importing images which have already been downloaded to your hard disk?
I've just completed importing approximately 5,000 images which date back to 2001, across several hundred projects. These have, obviously, been imported from an existing disk-based archive. Every so often, I'd find what you've described - the import window with the source correctly selected, but no preview images. I never worked out a pattern for this behaviour. However, I found dealing with it +for my particular circumstances+ was as simple as pressing <escape> to cancel the import and then immediately beginning the import again. It never failed on the second time around. I never needed (for this problem) to quit and restart Aperture, let alone reboot my system.
The problem I just described was being experienced on a fully patched 3.0.1 system. Of course, you might be experiencing something slightly different...

Gary

How do make Photomatix tiff show in previous import photos?

Just started using Photomatix pro. Used autoimport to reimport into LR 3. Can only see Photomatix tiffs when switch to all photographs. This pulls up all 8000 plus photos rather than just the file folder in which I am working. Is there a way to get these tiffs to show in previous import photos?

In Collections, create a smart collection with criteria like Edit Date = Today.

Import acting strangely.. selecting random and previously imported images

Whenever I try to do an import, looking for new images on my existing harddrive, I am seeing strange activity that I cannot understand.
First, Lightroom selects thousands of images (all?) to import, then it automatically begins reducing the number of selected images to a much smaller, but seemingly random subset of images that have already been imported. If I go ahead and import, and then try the same process, I get another seemingly random set of previously imported images.
Any ideas what is happening?

Lightroom 4.2, Mac OSX 10.7.5

Stacked image hidden from search

Today I was missing an image from the catalogue. I knew it had to be there but I couldn't see it.
I tried to import it again, but the import dialogue indicated that the image had already been imported. Yet, I couldn't see it in the folder where it should have been (all filters turned off, of course).
I used the library search filter to search for the image using its file name (which I knew as I could see the file on the drive) but to no avail.
Q: Where was the image?
A: It was hidden in a stack.
Yes, perhaps a rookie mistake (I just started using Lightroom), but does anybody else agree that the search for the filename should have unearthed the location of the image in the catalogue? Once I had the image unstacked, I could find it using the filename search.
I don't think it would be practical for a user to unstack images first before they have a chance finding them through a search.
I didn't submit this as a bug report because it may be a "feature" rather than a "bug". I invite others to share with me whether they also think it is a bug that stacked images are completely hidden from a search.
N.B. I find it irritating that I cannot move stacks as a whole to a different folder or collection. What's the point of an aggregation if only the top image is moved/copied?
The reason wny I mention this second issue here is that either a stack should be treated as a single entity (contained images are not found in searches and are moved with the top image) or it should be treated it as a lose connection between a sequence of images (only the top image gets moved and "connected" images are found through searches (library filters)).

Hi,

this is a BIG BUG in my mind. if I search for an image by name I don't care where it is, I should find it.
This is rather a design issue that will not be fixed quickly, I'm afraid. In LR, the process of finding an image is tightly associated with the idea of showing it. And the very same code is used in all LR operations when it comes to display images in the Library module. If we want LR to "find" an image located in a collapsed stack, a different way of displaying the filtering results must be implemented.
This is bothering me since the beginning. I also regularly have problems because of images hidden in a stack. For example, after I have edited a few images in a stack, the XMP files for those files are no longer in sync with the catalog (I have disabled automatic saving of XMP files for performance reasons). If I collapse the stack, hit Ctrl A to select all images in the folder and then Ctrl-S to update the XMP files, the XMP files corresponding to the images hidden in a stack will not be updated. I must remember to expand all stacks (or not collapse them) before doing this. Since we are unable to filter on this criteria (the XMP file status), this is obviously an inconsistent and misleading behavior.
IMHO (as a former developer), this example demonstrates that there's something wrong in the LR design. The presentation layer (the code showing us the contents of the library) might be too strongly coupled with the data layer (or application layer), the code manipulating the library data. A common problem in software design. Mistakes made in this area during the design phase are difficult to fix because they are not "simple" bugs. They require changes in the program architecture.
My two cents...
Patrick
