Folder Changed when Importing





LR has changed the location of the files in the last two imports to a folder I did not specify. What is causing this and how do I change it?
Doesn't really matter why it changed, it changed and you didn't bother to Review ALL the options selected before you clicked the import button.


 


Make a Preset that set all the options you want selected and make sure that preset is loaded, Selected, before you click the import button.


 


Bottom line is 99% of the time LrC remembers all the option you select the last time you did a import unless you changed one and then LrC may Default to its basic Default settings the next time you an import or if you are importing from some other Source than the last time.
the problem has been solved.

i got in contact with our provider and they were able to apply the proper access to the folder for verification.

thank you for all of your help and patience. this thread can now be closed. hi [@gus\_fring](/u/gus_fring)

welcome to community :slight\_smile:

you have to set the path with the file name. not only the path of folder.

for example you have the folder temp in c and the file name is inputdata.xlsx

your path should be then: c:\temp\inputdata.xlsx

best regards

mahmoud update to libreoffice 4.0 and try assigning the macro again. this should fix your problem. not understood actually. plz clarify in detail it might be that the drives were formatted as 1tb, if you do a factory restore it might format the drives to the 2tb. you will lose your data though. Out of curiosity, what are the sizes of the files you’re trying to move? thanks a lot

in mexico, the practice of entering the administrator password to confirm changes is not so common.

but sure enough, i think it was layer 8 bug PF1:  

Name 25 A  

Code 10 S 0  

Location 30 A


PF2:  

LCode 10 S 0  

LLocation 30 A  

LName 25 A


we can’t copy pf1 to pf2, because pf1 and pf2 field are interchanged. so we can’t copy..  

if you try to copy your records, it ll show like this ‘+++++++’ 


best you try to change field order like this.. (must change the field order PF1 or PF2) 


PF2:  

LName 25 A  

LCode 10 S 0  

LLocation 30 A


after using cpyf command… don’t forget the below step to fill….  

<b>Record format field mapping . . > *NOCHK</b> 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. i have determined the cause and a fix will be in the next version.
