Smooth scrolling in Library (grid view)

The scrolling has been greatly improved in grid view. It feels not slugginsh anymore (I do have one of the latest iMac + SSD) at rendering the thumbnails.
However, the view is still not using the smooth scrolling hability in Mac OS: it scolls by steps which is very annoying because it is perfectly smooth when grabing the view between thumbnails.

Thumbnails not visible in Library Grid View

In LR 1.0 on Mac OS X, after converting from Beta 4.1, my thumbnail images are not visible in the Library Grid View, except for just a brief moment when I first click on a Folder (Shoot) name. The images then disappear, leaving just the background.
Double clicking on an image background brings up the image correctly in Loupe View.
Did I miss something in the conversion?
Many thanks!
(Mac OS X 10.4.8, Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5, 6.5 RAM)

Hello,
I have a similar problem, (windows xp)
Besides the thumbnails not being visible, when I open LR 1.0, it shows my folder structure as imported, with the number of files per folder, but right after that, the folder names start to gray out, and the number of pictures in each folder goes to "0" . The pictures are still there.
For each keyword it shows 0 pictures, until I click on that keyword, then it shows the number of pictures for that keyword.
I did uninstall 4.1, and deleted the database, I don't know if this is related to some left over Beta 4.1 somewhere in there.( my old identity plate still shows) I had no issues, other than being slow when using beta 4.1, I had only imported pictures on a as needed basis( in 4.1), and not the whole folder structure. ( as I want to do with LR 1.0 )
Any solutions ? ( other than uninstall and trying to to a better job of cleaning up, before re installing ? )
P.S. about 1000 files ( jpg,tiff,psd) did not get imported due to errors, but most of them were in my 4.1 library with no problems.
P.S 2 the keywords were entered either in bridge or ID imager, and written back to the files, I never used beta 4.1 to enter keywords, just used it to search them.
P.S 3 ( sorry this is getting too long...) it crashed on import 5 times, about 20,000 files, internal HD just for pics.
thank you,

Cannot move photos via drag and drop (library grid view)

I've seen several adobe tutorials and youtube videos that show moving photos or folders by drag and drop in the library grid view. I cannot get it to work.
Steps:
1. Mousedown on a photo (not the frame) in the grid
2. Drag the mouse to a folder in the "Folder" pane (left of the grid)
3. Mouseup on the destination folder
Results:
Nothing happens. The mouse cursor doesn't change from the arrow. There is no indication I can drag and drop. The photos are not moved.
The photos are stored on a NAS. Of course I can move them around via Windows Explorer, but I want to do this from inside LR4 for obvious reasons. From LR4, I can create new folders, but I still cannot move photos into those folders. I also tried creating a new folder on a local drive. Again, I was able to create the folders, but was not able to move any photos into the folder.
What else can I do to toubleshoot this issue?

I created a new catalog. Imported a folder on my C drive, created a subfolder, and successfully moved photos into the subfolder.
I tried the same steps in my original catalog and now I can move all photos (including those on my NAS). I've been at this for 3 hours. I have no clue why it is working now, but I guess I'm happy. Now, it shows the stack of photos when I try to drag and drop.
I even reverted to my original preferences file (that I backed up before deleting) and I'm still able to move the files. Really strange.

No images in Library grid view

Hi,
In V1.0, when I set my Library to grid view I only see my images for a short while. Then all images turn to grey squares. Updating the grid (like changing thumbnail size or sorting order) again shows images only for a short while.
Loupe and Compare view are ok.
Never had this with the Beta versions.
Is there a setting I need to change?
Thx,
Haya

Bug: thumbnails not displaying on library grid view

Since using v1.0 the thumbnails will not display on the grid view (there is simply a grid of empty grey squares which can be clicked on). All beta versions worked fine. I started a new library with no improvement. All other screens work as expected. Using Windows XP SP2. Any ideas?

joel, I'm experiencing the same issue - the thumbnails start to appear but once they get to the point where they would be fully loaded, they disappear. I used beta as well, and that worked perfectly fine. Just sent in a ticket to the customer support at adobe, hopefully they can help with a solution. I'm only running the trial version of lightroom.
Where you able to figure out a solution?

Filenames in Library Grid view

I use filenames of the form "YYYY-MM-DD xxx Description". In the grid view on landscape pictures I can see the sequence number (xxx) when the pictures are a reasonable size, but the filename shown is much shorter on the portrait orientation photos so I can't see the sequence number.
Is there a way to get the filename to use the whole space available on portrait photos so we can see all or at least more of the filename?
Regards
Mike

The only way I know is to use expanded cell view.

Thumbnails in library grid view won't load all the way

Anyone else getting this in LR 3.2? Kind of frustrating to only have half or so of the thumbnails in
grid library view load. This also happens in the scroll bar view.
Win 7 64 bit

Are these huge files?
Are you generating standard or 1:1 previews?
If 1:1 try switching to standard to see if that helps.

Can't drag files in library grid view

I am unable to click and drag files from folder to folder within a library.

> Cancel that, now it seems to work. Anyone know why it sometimes doesn"t?
A common problem that people still seem to have trouble with is that you must "grab" the thumbnail image itself, not the frame. Trying to drag an image by grabbing the frame does nothing.

Bug? scroll bar hides behind filmstrip in Grid view

In Library Grid view, when scrolling to the bottom of the grid, the scroll bar slider gets hidden behind the film strip at the bottom of the window.
OS: WinXP SP2, 4GB RAM

Okay, I will answer my own question in case anyone else sees the problem.
When I am viewing my large catalog with only three thumbnails across in LR, I lose the little button to slide up and down. When I change Grid View to show four or more thumbnails, the button reappears. I'd suggest this is a bug needing fixing.

Is there a way to hide the square cells in Library's Grid view?

Hi,
I'm moving from iPhoto from LR. I'm wondering if there's a way to display the photos in the Library (Grid View) without the square cells, so that they resemble the iPhoto display:
I know that I can remove the metadata display using the View Options, but I can't see how to display the photos without the square grid lines (which I find distracting):
Thanks!
Doug

There are only limited options to control the display appearance in Lightroom. I don't think any of your requests are possible.

Drag and drop option in grid view

Hi,
I'm editing a large baptisim (750 photos) where I had another photographer. I nede the images in event order. On import, the photos are all over the place. I realise what I should have done, but now I'm here, I want to manualy drag and drop the photos in library-grid view. I'm dragging the photo and moving it, but it won't replace itself. What am I missing? Please help!

But you can find two images from different cameras that appear to be shot at the same time or within a small interval. You can use their capture times to calculate the gap between the two camera's clocks.
Now separate your files by cameras using the Library Filter (or Metadata Browser on LR 1.x) and make global time corrections with the Edit Capture Time command.
Capture time shifts the date/time of each file in the selection by the same amount as you set for the 'most-selected' (or primary select) file.
In the end, yes, sort by capture time.
Export the whole shoot using a sequence in the file-name so they sort correctly on your customer's system.

Slow/Laggy scrolling in Library

I have a library of 24,325 files. When attempting to scroll up and down with my mouse's scroll wheel in the library with all files showing, I get a delay of a half second or so before the list moves. This is absolutely maddening.
Is anyone else experiencing this??? Does anyone have a fix?
I have a serious machine (dual processor, Gig of RAM, XP Operating system, library and files all on RAID 0 partitions). If this machine can't smoothly scroll my library, nothing can.
Apple, please please please please fix.

If this is the way that iTunes is designed, then the design is flawed. The reason I say this is because the other MP3 manager I use on a regular basis (MediaJukebox) has absolutely no issues at all dealing with the library of this size. Scrolling is instantaneous, searches are very, very quick and the overall experience (at least with respect to the responsiveness of the interface) is much, much nicer. I would boot iTunes altogether if it weren't for its superior iPod support, and of course the Music Store.
And good guessing on the size of the iTunes library files. The .itl file is 22MB and the .xml file is 28MB. That's not that big... iTunes should put those things in RAM and do some intelligent cacheing and I should have no issues.
One other thing, this is new as of version 5. Version 4 handled scrolling fine, even with the large library. Something changed, and changed for the worse.
And no, I don't have the artwork window open.

HELP - Library Left pane scroll issues ( when in grid view )

I've run into a issue that is really starting to piss me off and hinder my workflow!
When in Library mode grid view, I can't scroll left folder/publish service with my mouse scroll wheel. UNLESS I'm hovering over the scroll bar. If I'm hovering over a folder, I can't scroll ( VERY annoying )
now this is where it gets weird, when in loupe / thumbnail view, I can scroll the left pane fine with no issues. Also, scrolling the left or right pane in Develop mode with no issues as well.
Also, it seems like the when scrolling the right pane in Library view is a bit flakey ( it scrolls, but pauses at some places )
I've read THIS thread, but I dont have any of that type of software on my PC.
I've tried 3 different mice with no fix.
Any help or ideas would be appreciated.
thanks

@sjmphoto0300: I have a Dell XPS 15 502X laptop (running Win 7 Home) and had the same scrolling issue as you in LR 3.6 when in the Library module only (the Develop module sidebar scrolling works fine). I could not scroll using my touchpad on the left or right pane unless my cursor was directly over either thin grey scroll bar or on the actual sidebar headings (e.g. "Catalog," "Folders," or "Quick Develop"). Mousing over the latter would only enable me to scroll until the cursor was no longer over the heading which was pretty useless.
I have Synaptics TouchPad v7.4 installed. While I don't have an option in my Mouse properties to specify certain programs that don't scroll properly as mentioned in another post, I did find a solution that works for me!
I had to do TWO things to get scrolling in the sidebars working properly:
1) In this thread (http://forums.adobe.com/message/3888114#3888114) it was mentioned that the Synaptics scrolling graphic that appears (see screenshot below) interferes with scrolling and the scrolling graphic can be disabled with a registry tweak and then restart the Synaptics applications (2) or reboot.
2) Right-click an empty spot on the desktop and go to Personalize > Change Mouse Pointers > Device Settings (Synaptics logo on tab) > Settings. Click on Scrolling on the left of the Synaptics Properties window > Scroll item under pointer. Click Enable.
That got sidebar scrolling working without having to keep the cursor hovering above the skinny scrollbars. It seems like the Synaptics software doesn't recognize what area is always scrollable in Lightroom when "Scroll selected item" is selected.
Hope this helps someone else out there.

Grid view slow to scroll

My preference is to view my albums by grid view.
However, I'm getting frustrated that when I scroll there is a short wait while it loads up the next lot of album cover art. The bit I don't understand is why it doesn't do this in the background ahead of time in the knowledge that when I'm in grid view I'm very likely to be scrolling and therefore it should load all the album artwork into memory.
Currently, i tend to force the complete scroll before I search, just so it is all loaded up and then I can smoothly scroll while I'm perusing my music.
Is there a way I can force this caching? I have boat loads of memory (3GB) most of which is free at anyone time. I also tend to leave iTunes on all the time so it would be better if iTunes could hold all this in memory.
Any suggestions gratefully received!

I'm having exactly the same problem. I can't find a hidden preference to cache the thumbnails of album covers, and consequently, in grid view, the overall effect is slow and amateurish.
