Using Multiple-level folders in lightroom import

Let's say I want to import images into the following directory structure  "USA\New York"  where "USA" and therefore "New York" does not exist.   I cannot use "Into Subfolder" as multilevel directories can not be entered here.
So I need to create the USA folder first and then import into "New York" ( switch lightroom will automatically create if it doesn't exist).
To create the "USA" folder I can click here:
This displays a windows dialog to create the new "USA" folder
After clicking on Select Folder we return to Lightroom but newly created and selected folder does not appear in the destination folder list:
The only way I can figure out how to add the USA folder is to exist Import and get into it again.  
Once in appears in the list I can create the New York folder during the import by adding it here:
Why do I have exit the import dialog and start it again to see the "USA" folder, especially when it was selected and passed back to Lightroom ?
Is there way to refresh the folder list in the destination list without exiting Import ?
For me it makes no sense to add the ability to create a folder and then Lightroom doesn't use it.
Regards,
Gary

I think the Create New Folder button is designed for the folder the images are to be stored in, which in your case will be a sub-folder. So I guess the parent folder must already exist.
For example I keep all my photos under the year they were taken so it is then easy to create new sub-folders.

  • Best way to organize/use multiple Music folders

    I have a situation where I want to keep all of my classical music separate from the rest of my music. I was wondering if anyone has a suggestion as to the best way to go about doing this. The way I have done it is this: I created a new user account on my computer, and while logged into that account, I import all of my classical music into iTunes. This creates a separate music folder in the new separate account. Then, in order to access that music from my primary account, I enabled myself to access that folder by giving myself permissions. Is this the best way to go about this? Is there a way to create separate iTunes music folders from within the same user account? If not, is the way that I am sharing the best way to go about it? Would it be better to copy the music folder (or drag it) to the public folder, or shared folder?
    Thanks for the input in advance.

    teedoff087,
    I've used (and use) the smart playlist option for many things. I would use it in this case, but I have a ton of classical music and I don't want to fill my main music library list with so much classical music. I sometimes listen to music straight from the main music library, and then there is the problem of it playing a rock song and then a classical, etc. Also, it becomes much more difficult to navigate through my main library when there is so much more content in it. I know with the use of smart lists, you can really create well organized music sub libraries, and I do use this feature often. I use it in my non classical library, as well as my separate classical one. I create lists for the different composers, or the era, such as Baroque, Romantic, Classical, etc. Also, Sonatas, Concertos, etc, and even musical instrument. Anyway, I guess my point is that it is just easier to keep the classical music separate. I had all of my music integrated on my last computer, and was often frustrated by it.
    Thanks for the suggestion though. Any other thoughts you might have on the topic would be welcome and appreciated.

  • [HELP] using multiple value parameter in c:import tag

    I need to pass a multi-value parameter to a included page. e.g.
    http://myhost/MyContext/dir1/page1.jsp?abc=value1&abc=value2/dir1/page1.jsp includes /dir2/page2.jsp, and would like to pass this multi-value parameter over, but change the name to xyz, some what like
    <c:import url="/dir2/page2.jsp?xyz=value1&xyz=value2"/>The problem is that the number of values is not fix number, so I have to write some logic to iterate thru its parameter values. But the <c:import> tag body allows only simple listed <c:param> tags, it doesn't allow other logic/condition/iteration.
    <!-- gives java.io.IOException: javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: The taglib validator rejected the page: "Illegal child tag in "c_rt:import" tag: "c:forEach" tag at runtime -->
    <c:import url="/dir2/page2.jsp">
    <c:forEach var="xyz" items="${paramValues.abc}">
    <c:param name="xyz" value="${xyz}"/>
    </c:forEach>
    </c:import>{code}
    I also tried <c:url> tag. The good news is that it supports jsp logic in body:
    {code}<c:url var="url" value="/dir2/page2.jsp">
    <c:forEach var="xyz" items="${paramValues.abc}">
    <c:param name="xyz" value="${xyz}"/>
    </c:forEach>
    </c:url>
    <c:out value="${url}"/>{code}but it prefixes the url with the current context:
    {code}/MyContext/dir2/page2.jsp?xyz=value1&xyz=value2{code}
    Now I run into a dead end. It seems the only way out is to use <% %> scriptlet to do my own url composite, which is pretty similar to <c:url> but avoid the context part.
    Any suggestion?

  • Groupware Integration : Use of multiple public folders

    Hi,
    Can anyone advise if it is possible to use multiple public folders to store business partners in Groupware? For instance: if a SAP CRM contains business partners for different organizations, can parts of the data be available in one public folder, and another part in a second public folder?
    If it is not possible in CRM, can it be done in Exchange? Any advise?
    Thank you,

  • Create Multiple Subfolders in Lightroom or Have Lightroom Pick Up Multiple Empty Folders

    I currently have Lightroom organize files into subfolders by date when importing photos. So, for example, when returning from a shoot today, all images will be imported into a subfolder called "2013-12-18", which Lightroom will automatically created if it does not exist.
    This is great.
    Some of the images in the shoot belong to a set that I want to keep separate from the others. For example, an HDR or focus-stacked or panorama set.
    What I do is create subfolders undernear the "2013-12-18" folder and manually move the sets into it. So I might end up with, for e.g.
      .../2013-12-18/
      .../2013-12/18/Set-01
      .../2013-12/18/Set-02
      .../2013-12/18/Set-03
      ... etc.
    What I would like to do, however, is to reduce the pain of manually need to create each of the subfolders. Right now, I have to right click the parent folder ("2013-12-18"), select "Create folder inside 2013-12-18", type in "set-01", and repeat and repeat and repeat and repeat. This is very inefficient and tedious.
    Now, I can easily write a Bash or Python script to automatically create as many subfolders as I need in the correct parent directory. But Lightroom does not show or recognize these empty subfolders until I go through the above process (i.e. pseudo-"create" the subfolders) OR go to "Library > New Folder" and ask Lightroom to add the new folder. I thought at first that the latter would be the solution (i.e., I could just go to "Library > New Folder" and add all the new, externally-created, empty subfolders. Unfortunately, this dialog only lets me add one folder at time.  Quelle douleur!!!
    Any suggestions on how to go about doing this? A plugin or somehow record an action? Or maybe change the way I import?
    Note that I do not mind actually moving the images belong to a set into each subfolder manually myself. In fact, I cannot imagine doing it any other way, as only I (and not Lightroom) can tell which images belong to a particular set. Yes, I know Lightroom can autostack by capture time, but that is not relevant here because (a) I am not stacking yet and (b) capture time between images in the same set can be highly variable. But I *would* like to automate or otherwise make more efficient the process of creating the subfolders or having Lightroom recognize my externally created empty subfolders.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    Hi Christoph and all,
           So if there can only be one Public Root folder, I have a question about expanding EDMS to incorporate more uses.  We have a small group of users now who use it and so they already have the EDIPUBLICROOTFOLDER  document created with a certain doc type (FLD) which has some special rules coded with it that the lower level folders and documents inherit from it.   Now as part of our PLM project we are going to roll out EDMS to a broad audience who needs more general functionality which will come from an EDIPUBLICROOTFOLDER of a different document type (FOL).  Is it possible to create this new pubic root folder and somehow move the existing one with its specialized doc property inheritance to a subfolder within the new public root folder?
    Thanks,
    Joseph

  • How import prior Backed-Up Fox Favorities in multiple sub-folders rather than one at a time in Fox 6.0

    How do you import prior Backed-Up Fox Favorities. This involved many short-cuts and contained in multiple sub-folders.
    How can I import the whole folder library rather than one short-cut at a time from each folder.

    The favorites shortcuts were not IE but from Firefox. I had a operating system failure. So, after re-installing the operating system, I then had to re-install all applications anew.
    After installing Fox 6.0, the problem is my prior use of folders and sub-folders with many favorites shortcuts in each.
    It appears that I will need to start anew with creating a folder system in the new firefox application. Then take all of the favorites shortcuts, individually, out of folders and put them in a file in a row, in an antilog fashion. Then try to get Firefox to accept them in some fashion.
    I also do not know how to (1) export IE Favorites (2) in IE (3) to an HTML?
    I am just lost.

    Please read this: Adobe Lightroom - Find moved or missing files and folders
    You do not want to be in the Import section of Lightroom, you want to be in the Library Module. You don't want "Update Folder Location", you want to ctrl-click on a Folder name (not in Import, but in the Library Module Folder Panel) and select "Find Missing Folder"
    You do not want to re-import photos that have already been imported, this is almost always a bad thing to do.

  • How to see multiple levels of photo folders?

    Using my Apple TV2 and home sharing with iTunes on a Windows xp pro pc, my folder tree for ohotos has 4 levels  - my pictures, year, events, sub events; apple tv shows only the year level and groups together alll the photos in the sub folders. Is there any way to have it show the event level folders individually?

    Nope, I have the same problem. My first folders are Holidays, Weddings, parties, General, Kids. and then I have 2 subfolders after these. Very annoying. There are other posts about this but I think the only solution is moving to a mac as you can tag pictures. I have Windows 7 and have no intention of moving to a mac yet.

  • Using SUM BY or MAX BY for multiple levels

    I was wondering if anyone knows if you can use the SUM BY for multiple levels e.g.
    I am using the following at the moment: SUM("Fact.Value" BY Dimension.Level1), but I also want to sum the value by a different level, so adding a second 'BY' level.
    I can't seem to figure if its possible. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi,
    If I understood you correctly, yes, you can use for example: SUM(saw_4 by saw_1, saw_2, saw_3)
    I hope this helps.

  • Multiple Levels in Hierarchy using MDX in SSAS

    Hi All,
    I am Hiren Parikh from India.
    I have a requirement in which I want multiple levels in a single hierarchy.
    But this levels should not depend on each other.
    For eg - 
    + Country
    -India
    - China
    - Japan
    + State
    - X
    - Y
    - Z
    + City
    - Mumbai
    - Beijing
    - Tokyo etc
    I will not select Country, State & City at the same time. If I select the Country then Country will become my filter.
    If I select the State then State will become my filter.
    If I select the City then City will become my filter. This means all the 3 levels are independent should work.
    Thanks in advance...
    Regards,
    Hiren Parikh
    Hiren Parikh

    Hi Hiren,
    According to your description, you will not select Country, State & City at the same time, right?
    So as per my understanding, you needn't to create the hierarchy, just create three attributes Country, State and City. Then when you select one of the attributes in the PowerPivot table, the attribute can be the filter which you can see on the screenshot
    below.

  • Possible to create "multiple" "snapshot" folders in Photo app?

    I mastered the whole "Hold both buttons to take a screenshot" idea. However, all screenshots are saved in one "saved pictures" folder under the "albums" tab. Any way to make multiple folders? Say, by date or website or.... anything?
    I know I can make mutliple folders in iTunes and import them. I'm talking about creating multiple screenshot folders on the iPad itself.
    Also, is there any way to turn off the "Picture frame" flower that comes up on the main screen when powering down? I don't want anyone to be able to just hit that and start a slideshow.
    And...(I tried to put all my "picture questions" in one topic).... Can I load a different picture to each App page? I have one picture on my lock screen and all my "App" pages have a 2nd pic. Can I put a seperate pic background on each of the 11 (or how ever many the max is) app "home" pages?

    Regards creating different folders for different groups of screen shots the only way to do that is to move all the screen shots to your computer, put them in separate folders and then sync them back to the iPad.
    In response to your question about using different backgrounds for different app pages the answer is no. In essence you're not actually switching pages it's just the group of app icons that are changing. In other words the background remains static when you swipe to move to the next so called page of icons.

  • A low-level exception occured in: Importer RED (Importer)

    Help please!!! I am working on a Film project and I can no longer see my RED footage. The software updated to 6.0.5 and all of a sudden all my RED files say MEDIA PENDING. Then in the bottom right hand corner there is a red dot with a white X on it. When I click on it, the error log pops up and says A low-level exception occured in: Importer RED (Importer) and says it quite a few times. What to do????

    As well as the answering the general questions here http://forums.adobe.com/message/4200840 please provide DETAILS of your computer hardware
    Especially the amount of RAM and number and distribution of hard drives and your brand/model graphics adapter and driver version

    1 - 320Gig Boot for Win7 64bit Pro and ALL program installs (2)
    2 - 320Gig data for Win7 paging swap file and video project files
    When I create a project on #2 drive, the various work files follow,
    so my boot drive is not used for the media cache folders and files
    3 - 1Terabyte data for all video files... input & output files (1)
    (1) for faster input/output with 4 drives
    - use drive 3 for all source files
    - use drive 4 for all output files
    (2) only 60Gig used, for Win7 & CS5 MC & MS Office & other smaller programs
    Search Microsoft to find out how to redirect your Windows paging swap file

  • Complete Lightroom Import Failure on Upgrade

    I have just upgraded from the Lightroom release candidate to the new 3.4.1 (64 bit) version and I find that I cannot use the import function at all without causing a complete program crash.
    When clicking on the Import button, or using the menu selection, I immediately receive a "Program Not Responding" message and Lightroom crashes. This happens whether there is a camera plugged into a USB port, or a card into a memory reader, or with nothing connected at all.
    I have done the following without success.
    System Restore to before 3.4.1 64 bit
    Reinstall of 3.4.1
    Uninstall and reinstall of Lightroom
    Deleted preferences file
    Reboots throughout the processes
    Windows 7 (64) Home
    Import has worked flawlessly from Vers 2 on with 3 camera makes and 2 Phone cameras
    I have searched these forums and the KB but I see nothing that appears to match my case.
    I would appreciate help or a pointer to an Adobe technical support email address which for some odd reason related to growing frustration I just can't seem to find on the website.

    It has taken some 4 hours but I am back in business -- I don't know why.
    After posting my problem I did a complete scrub of all Lightroom mentions on my machine using a 64 bit program uninstaller that went after every mention of the program including the registry entries. The only things I left alone were the catalogs.
    I then tried the following without success . . .
    Installed 3.4.1
    Uninstalled again, ran Ccleaner, installed 3.3
    Repeated uninstals but this time removed all catalogs
    Disabled all malware/virus and most services and processes
    Reinstalled boxed 3.2
    Upgraded
    Frequent reboots throughout and continued removal of Temp/etc files with CCleaner
    In each case the simple act of clicking on the Import button would result in a program crash and despite Microsoft's kind offers no suggestions for fixing the problem ever came forth.
    Once in a while I would get as far as a list of folders in the Import dialogue but any click on any of them brought about the crash.
    During all of this I was also testing by plugging one of my cameras into the USB port that I had always used for Imports.
    But, for some reason that I can't remember, I happened to plug a card reader into a completely different port and suddenly the Import function started to work.
    I tested with all of my cameras as well as that same reader and card on the original port that I have always used and everything worked fine, and has continued to work fine since through a final upgrade back up to 3.4.1 and the reinstallation of my original main file catalogue.
    I have no idea why things have started working again nor do I know how to avoid the problem in future.
