Using genres as Movie sub folders?

Is it possible to set up the "automatically add to itunes" watch folder to treat movies similar to tv shows / music?
So for example, when you copy over an episode of a tv show (and it is properly tagged) to the automatically add to itunes, itunes breaks it out by TV Show, then by season , then the episode itself. Same with music...Artist, then album then the song...which i really like.
But for movies it just creates another folder with the same name as the movie. I have my movies broken into 4 very generic genres...comedy, family, drama,action...which makes it a little bit more organized on my computer. So i was wondering if there is a way that iTunes automatically add to itunes can create the genre sub folder and then add the movie? (again assuming the file is properly tagged)
example...I copy and paste My Cousin Vinny in the automatically add to itunes and iTunes sees that it is a movie and has "comedy" as the genre and drop its into a the "Comedy" sub folder.
I get that this may be a long shot but i figured i would ask, or if others had a nice work around.
Thanks.

Thanks for the quick response...i tried add "Comedy" as an album but it doesnt seem to recognize that when its a movie ...is it possible for movies to have albums? (i know that sounds silly)

Movie sub folders on ATV

Does anyone know how to create movie playlist folders or just playlists in iTunes so that they also appear on Apple TV as subfolders under 'My Movies'? I've tried several different ways but no luck and with an ever growing set of movies in iTunes its getting hard to navigate..

probably the easiest way is to separate movies by genre... e.g. shift click and select all the comedies, right click on them and click on get info set the genre to "Comedy"... then go on to Action/Thriller etc what ever you'd like as genres... then when you go into appleTV > movies... hit the right arrow button and select display by genre... if you select comedy then only the ones you set the genre as comedy will appear... select action etc... just those ones appear... this pretty much works for everything... but doesn't do overlaps e.g. an action movie that is also a comedy or a comedy that is also an animation or also kids and family etc... for this you want to create play lists.
to use playlists, 1st you create the playlists in iTunes, then you select or multi select movies and place them in the appropriate playlist. then from the appleTV (maybe this is the part you are not getting) in settings (can't remember where exactly but you can did around) you need to enable display of playlists for movies if you don't do this playlist will only be available for music.

Solution to using Site Root with Sub-folders on Testing Server & Browser Previews

Hi Everyone
Have found an elegant solution when using Site Root relative linking for a website, that allows browser previews, even when the testing server uses sub-folders and the live code references just the server site root " / " of the live server and not the sub-folder structure of the testing server. This is really useful when you don't want to use document relative linking, which normally takes care of this problem in Dreamweaver.
The solution is to use sub-domains referencing the sub-folders on the testing server, so the sub-folders appear as the root of each website and the html code pointing to the site root works correctly on both testing & live servers without alteration.
Testing Server Setup
One testing server domain is used for all client development work:
For example: www.testingserver.com
On the testing server there are multiple sub-folder (one for each client website being developed):
For example: www.testingserver.com/clientA/ , www.testingserver.com/clientB/ , www.testingserver.com/clientC/
Live Server Setup
The site code needs to be developed with the final live server folder structure (url references) in mind:
For example: www.livesite.com (with all pages referencing the root of the live site server)
Page URLs on Testing & Live Servers
/page-name.html
Testing server url: www.testingserver.com/clientA/page-name.html
Live server url: www.livesite.com/page-name.html (without /clientA/ sub-folder)
Browser Previews Don't Work
You want to be able to run browser previews on the testing server while developing the website. To do this you normally have to reference the sub-folder structure of the testing server in the url for things to work right:
For example www.testingserver.com/clientA/page-name.html
What do you do, when you can't keep switching all the urls in the code from pointing to the sub-folder to pointing to the site root, and you don't want to use document relative linking?
One Solution - Sub-domains on Testing Server
In your domain hosting (outside of Dreamweaver) setup a sub-domain to point to the testing server sub-folder.
For example: Sub-domain clientA.testingserver.com points to www.testingserver.com/clientA (sub-folder)
So now when you reference the sub-domain it sees the sub-folder as the site root and all your problems are solved.
Dreamweaver Site Definition Setup
Site Definition under "Local Info"
Links relative to: Site Root
Site Definition under "Remote Info" (live server)
Access: FTP
FTP host: ftp.livesite.com
Host directory: /
Site Definition under "Testing Server"
Access: FTP
FTP host: clientA.testingserver.com
Host directory: /
URL prefix: http://clientA.testingserver.com
(location of the site's root folder on the testing server, the sub-domain redirection takes care of pointing to the sub-folder)
This is just one solution but it works well for me as it doesn't have any cost associated with it under our hosting package where you can have multiple sub-domains setup.
Hope this helps someone in a similar situation.

Just Google it, or run out and buy a copy of David Powers' Foundations Dreamweaver CS4 with CSS, Ajax and PHP, a book that is never out of reach for me. He details the process explicitly for both Mac and PC.
For me, on W7, I edit the C:/Windows/System32/drivers/etc/hosts file, and add the ip of my testing server along with the site alias -
192.168.1.82 site.local
Then I add this same designation to my httpd.conf file in Apache on the testing server. Finally I restart Apache.
Now from my production machine if I browse to "http://site.local", I get to see either the default file in the root of the site on the testing server, or a directory of the site on the testing server (my testing server is a unix box running on my LAN at that ip address). Furthermore, all of my root relative links now work as they would if the pages were being browsed from the live server.

I have mac version 10.10.1 yosemite.Using LR3. I exported 7 sub folders from LR to an external hard drive in order to free up space on my mac hd.

encountered two problems:
1. instead of seeing the 7 sub folders in the external drive, all the images are out of order, entirely scrambled. when I open LR3 however, the contents of these folders are greyed out and show 0 images. I can see the question mark next to the image saying it is located elsewhere (i.e. on the external hd)If I plug in the external hd I can open the images and edit in CS5, but as I said it 's like finding a needle in the haystack.
2. no new space shows up on my mac hd even though that was the reason I made the export.
is there a way to fix this? I have a different external hd that backs up LR. Currently it is not plugged in. I am afraid to plug it in because it will take the new LR configuration and I'd lose any option to correct the problem. I also , on the same (different) hd I have Time Machine backup. would that help to fix the problem and bring back the organization I previously had with the 7 subfolders. All that organization is currently lost,i.e. show as greyed out 0 content in LR on my mac hd and shows as scrambled on the external hd.
Can I fix this??

zarowin, you want to move the files. Not export them! See here: Move folders around in Lightroom | Adobe Photoshop Lightroom tutorials. There are two ways to do that. One is to move the folders inside Lightroom to your external HD, the other is to move them in the finder and reconnect the folders afterwards using the tips in the link dj linked to above. Also, you really should upgrade your Lightroom. LR 3 is not fully Yosemite compatible. I think the problems are mostly cosmetic though.
Periodically I get a prompt in lr asking if I want to back up lr and I have been consistent about doing so. At this point however, since those out of order images have be “exported” (am I using the right word??) to the second external hd, into a folder without subfolders, (hence the scrambling effect), if I were to plug in the external hd that is my backup drive (for time machine as well as for lr), won’t it be backing up the mistake I made by not using subfolders ongto the other external drive, thereby compounding the problem?
This warning has nothing to do with Time Machine. It is Lightroom's own backup. Every week or so, it will generate a backup Library that you can revert to in the case of trouble. In fact, you can usually safely delete the very old ones but keep them from the last month or so. Look for them in a folder called "Backups" right next to your main catalog file (probably in your Pictures folder). Be sure to only throw away the oldest backups. If you have never done this and have a large catalog with 10's of thousands of images you probably have easily 100 GB of these backups. Just calculate how much space you are wasting if you started doing this around LR 3, several years of backup catalogs at a frequency of once a week, and a typical catalog size of 1.5 GB (my main catalog is over 2GB).
Lastly, Time Machine backup doesn't overwrite older versions. It keeps versions around of all your catalog files (including the backups!).

I am struggling! Help! I need to move 3500 pics-in TIFF format in 175 folders and sub folders from my old PSE6, Windows XP to my new PSE13, Windows8.1. I have the PSE6 backed up on an external hard drive. What is the safe way to do this? Can anyone at Ado

Use the Organizer backup & restore method, starting the restore from the TLY file. Probably best to use a custom location as the XP file structure will be different. See this link for further help:

Should the admin/user folder and all of its sub folders be moved to the hdd or just parts of it? (eg. picture, movies, documents) What is the best way to go about doing this. Also should a 2t hdd be partitioned.

iMac with 256ssd and 2t hdd. Should the admin/user folder and all of its sub folders be moved to the hdd or just parts of it? (eg. picture, movies, documents) What is the best way to go about doing this. Also should a 2t hdd be partitioned.

Yes, you can move your user directories to the HD and keep your OSX and Applications on the SSD drive.
Whether you partition your HD or not depends on how much data you have and how you propose to use your HD.
Are you planning to use your iMac as a Time Machine backup volume? If so, partition it off.
Do you have huge data files, eg video, music, photos?
How much of your 2tb drive will be "free" once it is loaded with all your data?
A little more information is required before the optimal configuration can be recommended for your use.

Dearbhla Bradley

The exception is pretty clear. for some reason the script is not able to open the folder TestFolder1 on the local hard drive.
I noticed in the script you have specified the $Folder variable to be "C:\Users\user\Documents\SharepointTestFolder" while the exception is for "C:\FilePath\TestFolder\TestFolder1"
Will you please help me understand this difference?
Also, sorry I'm not familiar with the "recurse" calling method. I'm suspecting you're telling it to call the ImportFiles() function again, though if this is the case it looks to me that it's reusing the same $Folder variable that was defined at the start,
rather than using the folder object you have just identified.

[Mac OSX / JS] How to find images inside sub folders using getFiles?

Hi,
My script uses the variable myFolder to store the path for the images Folder. But when I try to use myFolder.getFiles() to retrieve images that are in sub folders the script fails. The result is null. What can I do to force myFolder.getFiles() to search inside all sub folders?
var myFolder = Folder().selectDlg("Select images Folder");
var myFiles = myFolder.getFiles();
I will appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Candido

Hi John,
Thanks for your help.
I'm rushing to my work so I don't have enough time to sort it out at the moment.
If I understand you correctly, it should be something like so:
var files;
var folder = Folder.selectDialog( "Select a folder with images" );
if (folder != null) {
     files = GetImages(folder);
     if (files.length > 0) {
          alert("Found " + files.length + " image files");
     else {
          alert("Found no image files");
function GetImages(theFolder) {
     var imageFiles = [],
     fileList = theFolder.getFiles(),
     i, file;
     for (i = 0; i < fileList.length; i++) {
          file = fileList[i];
          if (file instanceof Folder){
               GetImages(file);
          else if (file instanceof File && file.name.match(/\.(jpg|psd|tiff|pdf|eps)$/i)) {
               imageFiles.push(file);
     return imageFiles;
But it doesn't work.

I can´t use folders and sub folders in the screensaver now, whay´s that?

My problem is that since I install OS X Moutain Lion I only can choose one folder and doesn´t give me the option to mark olso sub folders. would you please tell me why you take that option that was so great to use?
thank you

Because Apple doesn't want you to have choices. They also remove many previously installed ones, apparently because they would work well with their retina displays. I restored those. File a bug report with Apple for lost functionality.

Move a folder, sub-folders, and documents under that folder from one document library to another within a Workflow

Hello,
I'm building a workflow in SharePoint Designer 2010 (Unfortunately we are not on 13 yet), and in that workflow I need to move a folder (with all it's sub-folders and items) from one document library to another document library.
I tried a copy item but that kept failing, I checked content type, columns, and permission and it all looks good.
the other option I started looking into is to Create the folder in the document list and them move all the items under that folder to the new folder. However I can't figure out how to loop through each items in that folder.
Has this issue been addressed? or does someone has a solution.
I looked and searched and all I found was tutorials on moving single items into a folder, but not entire folders.
Thanks
Hani

Why to take pain in creating a workflow that copies folders, sub-folders and all of its contents from one document library to another.
Simply open your source and destination document library in Windows Explorer mode and start copying your folder, sub-folders and contents that you want to copy out of the box.
You will find "Open with Explorer" button under the Library tab on the ribbon of document library.

Dynamically Creating Sub Folders using ECMA

Hi,
I have a requirement to create a a folder and then a sub folder in that and set its Name and Title dynamically. I am able to crate the folder however not the sub folder. Please suggest any technical way.
Thanks,
Debasis Roy

No worries - I located another thread that provided the answer. I rather think it may be better for me - with the number of folders and sub-folders I have in my Pictures Library - to use the tree facility under Folders in Organizer.

Reading sub folders in ifs using the ifs api

hi,
Is there any way i could get all the sub folders under the parent folders ,using the ifs api.
i am able to get the all the folders starting from the root ( parent folders) but i am unable to get the folders under each parent folder.
for example
at my root level i have folders x, y ,z etc..
and under x i have folders a,b,c etc.
i am able to get x,y,z but not able to get the sub folders under x i.e a, b,c folders etc.
Thanks
Arvind

A much more elegant method would be to utilize the oracle.ifs.search package!
You will see in there a Folder Restrict Qualification.
You can set your search class to be Folder.CLASS_NAME

Trying to work on TIFF images currently in my HD in several sub-folders without changing the originals or their location. I have a Mac and am using LR 3

I have many TIFF images on my HD within a folder and sub-dividedinto 30 sub-folders.
I wish to select several images from a variety o f the sub-folders then edit them and place them in a new working folder that can be transferred forprinting. I want to retain copies of the edited images and the orginals in their location in my Pictures.
So I'm looking for a step sequence that will assuresafety ofmy originals and giveme newly edited verisons toprint.
I originally odwnload theseimagesfrom a flash drive andit took 9 hours.
What timeframe can I expect to move the images into LR from my HD???
I assume I will retain the same folder/sub-folder organization --is that true??
How do I transfer the edited images --probably between 10-20 of them to start with--to a newly labeled folder that can then bemovedto either aflash drive , extrenal HD or one or more DVDs to take them to a print lab?? What's the best way to do this??
I've looked at the basic LR tutorial but it leaves out may steps that I require.
Your assistance is greatly appreciated
Marty

Thank you Jim . I suspect you're right --that i'm over thinking this. But i just don't see the step-wise path to follow to get from here to print ready group of selected photos
So you're saying just import them into LR and I can access any or all of them there ??.
Will the import take hours or minutes ( recall that I have over 500 TIFF images   distributed across 30 sub-folders)???
Edits i do there will be saved but my originals will also remain ??
    Do I simply select one image at a time to develop and save until I have the 10 or more I want for the moment then put those edited images into a new collection??????
OR
   Do I select and move the ones I want to edit and put them into a collection, then edit them image by image and finally transfer ( e.g. via flash drive or external drive etc) to get them printed???

Can't sync email sub-folders with iPhone 4 using iOS 5?

I can sync most everything from my laptop using Outlook except the subfolders in my email. It will sync email but I have a number of sub-folders to organize my email that will not sync with iPhone. Any ideas?

So far this seems to have fixed it. For some reason when upgrading to iOS5 it has changed some settings in mail. Now if you send any .mac or .me emails using apple.com no problem. But other services such as optonline.net for example things changed. By checking the smtp settings, there should be a couple, this seemed to fix it, however once I did that all the email in the folder disappeared and said it could not download email without a password, yes the password now disappeared. I put it back in and so far it works sending and receiving on the ipad 2. I am going to try on the ipad1 and iphone 4...............

using Office 365 - how to close sub folders in iPhone-mail app.

Isn't HotMail still POP3 mail only (i.e. no IMAP support)? If that is still the case, then your device is working correctly. The folders you made are a feature of the web tool for hotmail, and are not part of the POP3 supported email protocol. Only IMAP mail supports on-server mail subfolders, and those can be accessed from the iPhone mail client. But POP3 is limited to the inbox solely, as that is literally the only folder that sits on the mail server (your others are on Microsofts web server and supported via the web mail tool).
