BTW when i remove the "2-2-2" Lightroom then will recognize it....just a pain to do
As web-weaver alluded to previously, the -2-2-2 is the mark of Lightroom renaming a file to resolve a filename conflict. - in a nutsell: if it needs to write a file, but the name is already taken (a file of that name already exists in the folder) it appends -2 (yes, it may be -3 or -4 too depending - but I shan't explain all here).
For the record, I never want Lightroom to append a -1, -2, -3 ... to *any* of my files, be they catalog, photo, or export... This feature is for people who use computers without understanding about files, or folders, or disks... - which is cool, but in my case, any time Lr is doing that it's the wrong thing to do.
i.e. if there is a filename conflict - I want to be involved in resolving it.
Worth noting: there are 2 things that can happen in Lightroom:
1. Proper automatic resolution of legitimate filenaming conflicts (by appending -digit uniqueness suffix).
2. Improper automatic resolution of un-real filenaming conflicts due to Lightroom bugs/confusion. e.g. renaming a file will sometimes add the suffix even though there is no filename conflict.
Bottom line: If images are unlinking themselves and renaming themselves (and you didn't do it, inadvertently outside Lightroom, or in...), then there is a bug in Lightroom. If that is the case, then such bug may very well have been set off by some anomaly in your computer/file-system/catalog... - worth considering that.
If this is a bug in Lightroom, consider reporting it via the link below, along with as much info as you can about how it happened, how to reproduce...

  • HT4972 I have an Ipad still running on version 4.3.3 i have erased all its content and tried updating to the current update and it goes through the whole motions and at the very end an error message comes up saying the ipad was not able to update. What ca

    Can someone help me updating my ipad? is still running on version 4.3.3, i have deleted all its content I have restore to original settings and still cant update.

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
    Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

    The current time can be determined with a Date object:
    Date now = new java.util.Date() ;or if you are interested in the seconds since the epoch:
    System.currentTimeMillis() ;If you wanted to print them out:
    System.out.println( new java.util.Date() ) ;
    System.out.println( System.currentTimeMillis() ) ;Kenny

  • Salary in the current month and  the previous one

    Hi
    I have a table that stores payroll details like the following stracture
    earn code
    period from
    period to
    user_id
    time
    I want to do one report which displays both the salary of one employee in the current month and his salary is the previous one
    Thank you for your help

    you might use the LAG-function to get the previous months salary. Hard to know, as you did not provide any information about your report and database versions.

  • Get the Current Date and Time of a Location

    I have created a windowsPhoneApplication in silverLight 8.1.In my application,I have to upload videos on some server.The Uploading get failed If the Date and Time settings of my device is not the current Date and Time.So How can I get the current date
    and time even if the device settings is wrong?

    Hi shifana,
    Do you know server's time zone? If yes, you can manually translate to the correct time zone.
    Otherwise try some online time acquire API.

  • I connect my iphone 4 to my itunes and when I press update to get the new iOS 7 software, it says "This version of iTunes (10.6.3) is the current version" and it tells me to press ok. Why is my phone not updating??

    My phone says it is connected to itunes and beside the update button it says "a newer version of iphone software is available (version 7.0)...." but when I press 'update' a box pops up that says ""This version of iTunes (10.6.3) is the current version" and then I press okay and nothing else happens. I'm getting frustrated. if anyone can explain to me why I can't update please tell me! Or else I'll have to call up Apple I guess.
    thanks!

    You have answered your own question:
    "requires 10.6.3 or higher"
    " i upgraded my itunes to 10.5 "
    You need itunes 10.6.3 or later.

  • Sorry folks, I did something bad, I was looking how to save my current iphoto library to my external drive and I hit a wrong button, lost my current iphoto and now have only the backed up version from 2007, Woops I never was the quick witted one... PLEASE

    I switched my current iphoto library out for the saved one on my external drive by mistake. It said, Switch Libraries.... Do you want to switch the current iphoto library from AAA iphoto library (what I called the old one I guess - in my OWC) toOWC Mercury on-the-go and relaunch iphoto? cancel or relaunch
    Sorry, I was looking for a way to save my current iphoto images to my hard drive. Yeah, I guess just drag something over right? Anyway, now I cannot retrieve my last 2 or 3 years of photos, Can You HELP me?
    Mac os X  version 10.6.8
    2.66 GHz Intel core 2 Duo
    etc

    Depress the option key and launch iPhoto = use teh select library option and select the correct one
    yes to move your library to an external drive
    Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
    And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
    And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

    Thanks for that 'sberman' - because my iPhone is backed-up to my work computer (only at this stage) I have had to call our IT Department in Adleaide. (4 times this morning). The last guy managed to get the phone into 'DFU Mode' - no more recovery mode screen - (kind of 'asleep' perhaps) from my understanding of same. I am awaiting a call again from IT so they can get my computer to actually recognise my iPhone on the C Drive. This also happened to  one of my colleagues in Newman (WA). She got so frustrated with the whole process that she bought another phone the next time she was in 'civilisation.' She hasn't had any problems since. (Cross fingers).
    Thanks again, Sandra2474.

  • Difference Between Current Day and fist day of the payroll period

    Hi,
    How do i find the difference between the current day and the first day of the payroll period with period parameter XX.
    Operation VARSTFDYXX is used to decide if the current day is the first day of the payroll period. But is there any operation available to check the difference in exact number of days.
    I know hrs=y is used to find difference between current day and a date specification record from IT0041, but i need to check difference between current day and first day from a payroll period parameter.
    Any response is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Imaneul Rajiv

    No! haven't seen it at all! Do I have to drain the battery completely and then charge it? I did that the first day I bought the phone and yet the stats are the same for me
    PS: I am referring to the Call Time stats and not the Usage/Standby stats

    My daughter is currently using my Apple ID with her ipod touch.  I will be upgrading her to an iPhone 4S and would like to use a different Apple ID and a new computer and still keep all the current music and Apps that she has now.  How do I do this?

    Make a new Apple ID for her.
    Use it on her iPhone 4S for iCloud, iMessage and FaceTime.
    Use your ID on her iPhone 4S for iTunes and App Stores.
    Sign in with your Apple ID on iTunes Store (on iTunes app of her new computer)
    Authorize her new computer with your Apple ID in iTunes (iTunes menu>Store>Authorize this Computer)
    Check "Share my Library on my Local Network" in iTunes Preferences in your and her computer
    Sign in Home Sharing of her iTunes with your Apple ID.
    Copy all the Music she wants from the old computer to the new one. (Must be on the same network)
    Copy all the apps she wants from the old computer to the new one. (Must be on the same network)
    Export all playlist as xml files from the old computer to the new one.(right click on the playlist to export and "File>Library>Import Playlist to Import)
    Sync her iPhone 4S with all content she wants from her new computer (all data from the old computer will be deleted)
    Are you sharing Contacts or other data from iCloud?
    Be careful or ask for help about moving from iCloud account to another one.

    Hema
    explain the exact problem..? as you mentioned you want to create query to show values for current month and last 12 months.. so I think you want to show values for 12 months from current data.. you can achive this by multiple way..
    you can have selection screen and field with date .. and restrict based on system current date and 12 months before or you can handle this at your target.. .. I mean there are multiple ways to restrict data by date range..
    for some more hints..
