I HATE "Pictures" folder I also create unique folder names, mostly year and month, separated by ";" However, if the last used folder is not at its location anymore or for half a dozen other reasons, LR puts pictures strait away in the "Pictures" folder. I do...

    default download folder

    Hello Everybody. There is little I dislike more on a Mac, then the dreaded "picture" folder, maybe game centre is nearly as bad. I was able to disable the game centre, but since 10.14 it is near impossible to delete the pictures folder. Is there an option that one can completely disable this...

    change default folder location

    Hello Conrad, thanks for your reply. Yes I am aware that I can set an import folder. However I do astrophotography and sometimes am in a hurry to get a pic saved. I dislike "photos with a passion, but way too often, even if I did set import to folder "X" on the next import LR reverts back to...

    how to remove keywords from a "Mother keyword"

    Hello Johan. I tried this, however I can't manage to just drop them somewhere. It looks to me as I need to drop them into another "parent" keyword.

    how to remove keywords from a "Mother keyword"

    Hello all. For what ever reason, I must have pressed by accident "put all new keywords inside ...." instead of "delete"!!!! Now I am sitting with nearly 1000 pictures and keywords inside a keyword where they should not be. If I try to delete the "top" keyword, it warns me that "It contains...

    merge catalogs??

    Hello Victoria, you could also tell me something about a Spanish village, and that in latin or Aramaic, I would understand maybe more there what you said, however thank you the duplicate detection plug-in sounds good to me. The strangest thing is, it even recognises faces, and has keywords...

    merge catalogs??

    hello Jim. thank you for your reply. No the images are indeed identical. a pic that is in the catalog as a jpeg and is on the second drive as a RAW file would be fine to be imported.

    I am still sitting with the second hd problem. I deleted quite a few pictures on my current HD. The second HD has a older back-up, and I realise that some of those pics I would like to have still, or at least be able to reconsider. However, 98% of the pics are the same, same location same...
