Where should I put things on my new computer

Since I've been running LR (currently 3.6) under Windows XP on a 6 year old HP desktop with an AMD dual core processer I just purchased a Dell XPS 8500 and plan to install LR 4.1 and move my catalogs and images to this new machine.
The machine came with a 1 TB SATA || hard disk, and I've installed a 240 GB SATA III SSD and installed Windows 7 on it.  I currently have my images on an external 1.5 TB eSATA hard disk connected to the old computer, and expect to connect it to new computer the same way.
Currently (in LR 3.6) I find I spend most of my time in the library module culling images and selecting a small number to develop.  I generate 100% previews for a shoot, and then switch between grid, loupe, and compare views, frequently zooming to 100% to check and compare critical focus.  Since I develop a much smaller number for photos, and typically do pretty minimal processing, don't spend as much time in the develop module.  Assuming that I'll do the same thing in LR 4.1, my top priority is library and performance, particularly when zoomed to 100%, and secondarily develop performance.
My question is, to get the best performance, where (on  the SSD, internal hard disk, or external hard disk) should I
install LR 4.1
store my catalog(s)
store the Camera Raw cache
store my images

hopefully the rest of the community responds with some of the specifics you are asking, but take a look at

  • Where should I put my extended unit test assemblies for Visual Studio 2013?

    Hi, I have a question about M/S Unit test extension.
    1. My purpose
    I'm trying to extend Visual Studio Unit Test.
    The points where I extends unit test is to output detail logs.
    My development environment is as follows.
    OS: Windows 8.1Pro (64bit version)
    IDE: Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2013
      (Version 12.0.30723.00 Update 3)
    2. Things which I'd like to know
    To enable my test extension, it is required to put my test extension assemblies into designated sub folder under Visual Studio's installed folder.
    The source of this information is MS developers blog below.
    (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/vstsqualitytools/archive/2009/09/04/extending-the-visual-studio-unit-test-type-part-1.aspx)
    Q1. It's required to put the assemblies bellow.
    C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies
    Howerver, the guidance in the blog is for Visual Studio 2010.
    In Visual Studio2013, above "PrivateAssemblies" could not be found under "\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE" folder.
    Where should I put my assemblies for my 2013. Is there any substitution for "\PrivateAssembly" folder?
    Q2. Another requirement is to set Assembly information entry into the registry below.
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\EnterpriseTools\QualityTools\TestTypes\{13cdc9d9-ddb5-4fa4-a97d-d965ccfc6d4b}\TestTypeExtensions
    For Visual Studio 2013, I could find almost the same node hierarchy, but
    could not find the last "TestTypeExtention" node. Instead,
    I could find "Extensions" node.
    Should I write registry entry here? Or, should I make a new "TestTypeExtension" node and write the entry there?
    Q3.Last question is more basic question.
    Is there any way to kick extended test program in Visual Studio 2013's Test Explore
    without registering my assemblies in the way recommended above.
    I think it's much tender for developer's in debugging phase. For example,
    it is very much helpful, if I could kick a unit test which uses my extended test class in the unit test extension solution.
    That's all. Any information concerning this topics will be appreciated.

    Hi TrailRunner-MF,
    One possible reason is that you didn't view the correct folder, for example, in my windows 8.1 64 bit, it is in the path: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE", not the "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
    12.0\Common7\IDE " folder.

  • Where should i put the DEFAULT&SMARTBAR

    Hello,
    where should i put the DEFAULT&SMARTBAR ? and the main Menu ?
    in order to be shown in each form..
    in using Forms 6i.
    Regards,
    Abdetu..

    Hello Gerd,
    Thanks for reply..
    put such things into *a reference form* what is meant by a reference form do u mean the main form?
    Create a property class (PC) for your FORM-MODULE-properties,
    put this PC into the reference form.
    Create there an object group (OG), put the PC into the OG and the inherit the OG to your local form.
    Automatically you have then the PC inherited too.i did all what u mentioned..
    Bbut the problem is that the DEFAULT&SMARTBAR
    can't be seen in allllllllllll my forms in the main menu inspite of i put it into the form module property ->in the intial menu property.

  • Where should I put WHENEVER SQLERROR CONTINUE clause?

    Hi all,
    this is my situation:
    I have 2 compiled packages and one compiled procedure which uses the 2 packages. I want to start the procedure with sql*plus.
    To do this, I wrote a script and start the script from sql*plus:
    SQL> @start_proc.sqlThe start_proc.sql script looks like this:
    SET SERVEROUTPUT ON
    SET ECHO OFF
    SET TERMOUT OFF
    WHENEVER SQLERROR CONTINUE
    SPOOL /home/scott/proc_out.txt
    BEGIN
      SCHEMA1.TEST_PR;
      COMMIT;
    END;
    SPOOL OFFThe question is, where should i put the statement WHENEVER SQLERROR CONTINUE ?
    In the current position, the procedure does not start at all. If I remove the statement completely, then I get error on the first record and the procedure does not go on with the rest of the records...

    Thanks for your follow-up, Frank.
    The bigger picture (imo, hence the "-ism") is still:
    When it comes down to error-handling, the world suddenly gets very complicated and turns into all shades of grey, for many years.
    (But actually it should be simple: quit when unexpected things happen)
    The Developer has done his/her best, based on inputs
    The DBA has done his/her best, based on inputs
    The Architect/Designer has done his/her best, based on inputs
    The Manager has done his/her best, based on inputs
    The Client/CST has done his/her best, based on being client/CST
    Funny thing is: whenever I mail/call CST asking for additional input, usually things make sense...
    I dare say: when things go wrong, let them go wrong.
    Propagate the message to another human, who probably didn't think of that/expected it to happen.

  • Where should I put my code?

    Where should I put my code, on the buttons and other items in question, or in a separate Layer, referencing the items I need...?
    Background :
    I'm REALLY new to Flash with Adobe.  I've used SwishMax a little in the past, but nothing of recent.
    At work there's a project where I'm getting to use FlashPro CS6 and I've run into an odd issue with code to move forwards, backwards, and back to the beggining on 3 different buttons.
    It's in a layer called Actions, and on frame 1 - And remember... uber newbie here folks, so forgive any glaring issues in my code that most people would see quickly...
    //NEXT BUTTON
    NEXT_BUT.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, nb_mouseDownHandler);
    function nb_mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
              this.nextFrame();
    //MAIN MENU BUTTON
    MAINMEN.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mm_mouseDownHandler);
    function mm_mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
              gotoAndStop(1, "Scene 1");
    //BACK BUTTON
    BACK_BUT.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, bb_mouseDownHandler);
    function bb_mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
         this.prevFrame();
    The code for the first two work's exactly as I need, the code for the back button, initially it only appeared on from the second frame onwards, but during debugging I've popped it on all pages.  On the first frame, it takes you back to a black page with nothing on it, on all others it does absolutely nothing...
    Another question as I've written above, should my code be in a separate layer regerencing the items it needs to affect, or... as a colleague told me in a ridiculously over the top brimming with distaste, create layers for each item, or groups of items and place the code in there...  which to me, see's odd...
    Thanks once again in advance, and I'm sorry to post such a newbie question, but the internet gives mixed anwers, not specific to my situation.
    Tim.

    In AS3 you cannot put code on buttons and other items like you could with AS1 and AS2.  Beyond that, your choices are to place code in the timeline frame(s) or in separate actionscript files.  While there are a number of recommended best practices, what usually works best is whatever you are able to understand and work with at the time.  While there are benefits to having all code located in one place (a frame or a file) since it makes finding it much easier, when you are creating a timeline-based design, that is not always a possible/practical approach.
    Over time you will gain experience with the different approaches and can make the choice based on that experience.

  • Where should I put trustedprincipal.conf in

    Hi experts,
    We have BOE XI 3.1 in our server.
    We configured trusted authentication in CMC of our server machine, and created a trustedprincipal.conf in D:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86 of my client machine. I created a jsp file to access bo reports.
    I can not approach http://bfphp:8080/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp, just get alert after running the jsp file.
    However, we put trustedprincipal.conf in our server machine and remove the file from my client machine, I can approach openDocument.jsp after accessing the jsp file.
    Official document says trustedprincipal.conf should be put in client, but we tried it, logon fails. When I put it in server, logon succeeds.
    My question is, if trustedprincipal.conf is put in server, can anyone who knows a user of BO system access to bo system via the jsp file. So how can I control authentication of client who access to BO system, and where should I put trustedprincipal.conf in?

    HI,
    this sounds like a general BusinessObjects Enterprise configuration topic. this forum here is for the Integration Kit for SAP.

  • Where should i put oracle logo in my resume ...

    any other advice ??
    thanks in advance for replying this really dumb question ...

    At least you recognize it is a dumb question. That's half the battle. The other half is recognizing that no one really cares about your certifications. Congratulations. You now have the same "certification" that brain dump/cheat sheet users paid for.

  • Where should I put the sevlet

    I just started to work with Tomcat and I compiled the helloWorld sevlet.
    It's said from a book that the sevlet should be placed in serlver_root/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/classes, however there isn't a "classes" folder in my WEB-INF folder. So I put the helloWorld sevlet in the WEB-INF folder.
    Then I type http://localhost:8080/servlet/helloworld in my browser, I get a message from the sever said "The requested resource (/servlet/HelloWorld) is not available".
    Could anybody tell me how can solve this prolbem, where should I put the sevelt?

    have ones more a look to your book - especially to information about the configuration file "web.xml" which also should be placed in the WEB-INF folder. This file defines which servlets should be found by the server and which request-URL should be mapped to this servlet.
    for examples concerning the web.xml file see those already defined in your server. copy one and edit it for your needs. if you really want to understand what else might be configured using web.xml see the DTD for this file - it's pretty good documented!
    hope it helps :)

  • Where Should I put the time capsule?

    Where Should I put the time capsule?
    I'm using a wireless modem/router provided by the internet company, and both (the TC and the router) are located next to the pc, in the living room . Using this way, I don't have signal in my bedroom. Should I get a signal amplifier?
    Thanks!

    It would be better to use EOP adapters (homeplug is another name) or ethernet to locate the TC closer to your room.. you can use another apple router to extend the wireless if you need to.

  • Where should I put JDBC driver for MySQL

    I am trying to connect MySQL with JDBC 2.0 API. I have downloaded the driver file mm.mysql-2.0.4-bin. Where should I put this driver to make it run ?
    According to mysql.org, it says "Put mysql.jar in your classpath". I am confuse by classpath. Is it same as the path ? or is another system variable.
    thanks for clear my doubt. ^_^

    it is a different variable, but also in the same file (autoexec.bat) as path;
    set CLASSPATH=%classpath%;C:\JDK1.3.0_02\bin;c:\path\mm.mysql-2.0.4-bin

  • My computer died rather rapidly so i had no chance to do a backup or anything. now i want to put itunes on my new computer but it will not sync with my ipod. i got my purchased music but not the playlists and it does not sync when i plug it in.

    my computer hard drive died rather suddenly so i had no chance to do a back up or any thing. i put itunes on my new computer and got my purchased music but my ipod will not sync and i cannot get my playlists onto the computer. is there any way to get my playlists on my new computer and also get my ipod to sync. it is a waste of time to purchase new music and i do not want to purchase a new ipod since i have so much memory left on this one.

    Thank you all for your replies. Here is what i ended up doing. I cannot afford any 3rd party software so i went to itunes and manually entered all my playlists. As I had indicated my purchased music was on my new computer just not the playlists  and I could not sync my ipod. After I rebuilt all my playlists I tried to restore my ipod to factory defaults/new. All of the steps called for in apple support and elsewhere were not available to me. I connected my ipod, went to my computer, right clicked my ipod, and formatted. That wiped my ipod so when I connected to itunes it then gave me a restore option. I did the restore and all is good in the empire again. I can now buy new music and sync my ipod so I am a happy camper.
    Thanks to all.
