I haven't yet figured out how to tell Lightroom exactly where to put my files during import. As a result, I have to move the files when importing is finished. [I do it in Lightroom.] I now have a folder dated 2010-11-18 that I want to put in my 2010 folder. Lightroom won't let me. It says there's already a file with that name in the folder. While I can see the file in Finder, it doesn't appear in the Lightroom file list. The files in the "invisible" folder are duplicated in the folder I'm trying to move. Can I just go into Finder and delete the "invisible" folder?
Eric, I know I am doing this the wrong way, but I've been doing it this way ever since LR 1.0 and I find it mighty convenient. So here goes:
* I have a folder for each camera I own - \K10D for Galia's camera and \K7 for mine.
* When I import my or Galia's shoot, I first copy the files off the card to either of these folders and rename the files/folders as I like.
* Then I open LR and right click on the respective folder and choose "Synchronize Folder". This brings up the import dialog whereas the files are already where I want them.
* Later on I assign key words, delete duds, and move the files as per my storage organization.
I hope this helps you. Boris -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
