How to exclude subfolders on import?





Hi, simple question and i cant seem to find a simple check box to enable or a clear simple answere anywhere:

 

**How do i exclude subfolders when importing?**

 

I am importing "from location" (not copying to a central location) and have a "root" folder with all the best photos from a shoot and two subfolders: one with jpegs of everything, the other with all the crappy unsable shots.

 

When i choose to import the photos from the root folder I see no way of telling Lightroom Classic to NOT import the contents of the subfolders. How do i exclude the contents of the subfolders and save myself the time of importing an additional 1000+ files for no reason and then have to manually delete them? It faster for all team members to see the best photos directly in the root folder of the shoot than those best shots having to be in a subfolder of the shoot and all the other crap in the root. You know?

 

Time is money!!
Are you talking about computer or camera card "root folder"?


Can you NOT check the Import option-

The computer "root" folder is not a good location to have photos.


When I select my Local Disk (C:) without any photo files, and have the option [Include Subfolders] unchecked, I see this-

[The /2/sharing/remove\_folder\_member endpoint](https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#sharing-remove_folder_member) (or corresponding native method) would be the right way to remove a member from a folder, whether or not they've mounted it. (Or, if operating on the recipient themselves, [/2/sharing/relinquish\_folder\_membership](https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#sharing-relinquish_folder_membership).)


That 'no\_explicit\_access' error should indicate "The target member only has inherited access to the shared folder". For example, they only have access by virtue of having access to a higher level folder, meaning you can't remove just the lower folder.


Can you print out the full error object/message? The nested `MemberAccessLevelResult` may contain more useful information.


If that doesn't seem to be the case though, please share some sample calls that produce this unexpected error though so we can look into it.


Also, sharing individual files is a different piece of functionality than sharing folders, and sharing individual files does only support view-only access. For that, you can add members to files using [/2/sharing/add\_file\_member](https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#sharing-add_file_member), and remove them using [/2/sharing/remove\_file\_member\_2](https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#sharing-remove_file_member_2). 




[View solution in original post](/t5/Dropbox-API-Support-Feedback/Remove-Shared-Folder-Invitee/m-p/371583#M20937) i've seen this as well. it happened to me when i allowed evernote access to selected photos vs all photos. it is a new ios 14 feature. but it keeps asking. in fairness, i have seen this with other apps too though, so not sure if this is an ios 14 bug or the devs aren't 100% sure how to use the new feature.
 


 for me the fix was to go into iphone privacy settings and give evernote access to all photos, then go back in and deny access. but if you try to import photos again and give it selected access this loop will happen again, so if you do it frequently, give evernote access to all photos. that was all you could do with ios 13 and earlier anyway. I used [an automatic photoshop script](http://arnaumarch.com/en/sprites.html) once and worked well.


The concept is : 


* Each portion is a different image.
* Each portion (and so, each images) must be in the same folder w/o any other images.
* Run the script indicating the folder and some parameters (size, css name, etc...).
* The script does : 


	1. Merge all images into one with the size you indicated.
	2. Generate the CSS file


In your case, if you modify one image, you regenerate the global image and the CSS via the script and... that's it. Maybe you'll need to copy/paste the CSS in yours if you don't want to use the generated one.


Notes :


I tried it with a few files and worked great. Then, I tried like ~600 pictures and then, you'll need a goooood CPU and patience ;) In this case, don't use it. well, never had a samsung, but i think that all of the cells have the same option: when u take a snapshot, u must press options>save, i think so, i've had nokias, 6600, n71 and nowi've got n93i and all got the same menu, or u simply press back and it automatically saves, but not in motorolas, that's all i can tell u, hope i've helped 
:) hi,we have no formal “copy file type and template” from environment test to prod.this is what i’ve done hundreds of times.assuming you created a new file type or copied an existing template. - do this same process in prod (or the other environment), ideally keep the same name and description - just keeps things clean.then update the tabs so the file separator and date formant is the same. if you created any external file template controls update this as well,finally, - in the file template details, i delete all records in the new prod, and then use the copy / past object to copy the details from test to prod. rather than analyzing to see what’s different in the details between test and prod, if we know test works, i would typically delete the details and copy object from test to prod.if you had any formula in test you can manually copy these as well. it’s a few steps, but it only takes a couple minutes. best regards,thomas hi [@justusschl](/u/justusschl),

there is some import/export option for labels in debug mode, however i would not recommend to use it.

what you are trying to do should involve as little manual labor as possible (source of errors). i thought about it a bit and found something that could work. did you know the .ilp … hi [@juan\_esteban\_valencia](/u/juan_esteban_valencia)

i think in the attachment section

we had to add the complete filepath of the file which we need to send not the folder path only

happy automation :relaxed::relaxed::relaxed: first, can you make sure there’s no chrome processes running in the background? you can check it via task manager. and try to import again. in mac os x 10.5 leopard (and previous versions like 10.4 tiger and 10.3 panther) there are several ways to un-install applications.
heres a couple
a. simply drag the application to the trash, (you might need to enter your password) and empty the trash. bam! thats all!

or

you can download a program that completely erases the entire program from your system (because the programs sometimes leave something called preference files, in your system, so when their installed again, you'll have them back the same way it was before)

b. download the application "app delete" (http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/31123), download it, install it, and open it. *it will open, and all you have to do is drag any application you want to uninstall to the icon in the dock. (you might have to enter your password), and thats it!

as for keyboard shortcuts, i know, they can get confusing, but its really just down to how much you use them.

here is the direct apple link to their keyboard shortcuts for mac os x

http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75459

lets take a shortcut for example.. such as this one 

option-shift-command-delete - which empties the trash without you needing to confirm it (it'll just empty it immediately)

this is the keyboard layout on mac's
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/hardware/developer\_notes/macintosh\_cpus-g4/12inchpowerbookg4/art/040945021715\_06.gif

option - is the 'alt' button on your apple keyboard.
shift - is the 'shift' button on your apple keyboard
command- is the command (is an infinity symbol) / apple logo (apple logo may or may not be there, depending on the keyboard you are using, but its still the same)
delete - delete key lol

press them together, and presto! trash is emptied!

theres the quick guide!

=)

-hope i helped

Why need you Dropbox loaded? 🤔 Yes, you can carefully revert back from the "backup" feature, as described in documentation for convenience. But this is only for convenience and not mandatory. Dropbox isn't the only program using links. You can create links wherever you want for your convenience, if applicable. 😉 Removing link is the same as removing a file or folder. You can do it using your file explorer or appropriate shell commands, whatever is convenient for you. That's it.

Let's hope this will help.
