    Lr and video file management

    Thanks for responding. Your right, I guess it was processing when I tried renaming

    Lr and video file management

    Thanks for that definitive response. As you may have noted the renaming issue is resolved, in fact, it never was a problem, it was a processing issue. In trying to get around what I thought was an issue I renamed the file outside Lr. Somehow I ended up with the original name and the "rename"...

    Lr and video file management

    I stand corrected, I AM able to rename video files! I guess it was the processing issue you referred to. It's odd, that every time I've tried to rename video files I got a message saying it failed. It happened so often that I became convinced that it wasn't possible!

    Lr and video file management

    But that created a copy, with the new name. So now I have 2 copies of the file; the one I'm imported from my camera and the one with the new name. Curious

    Lr and video file management

    In order to organize clips from my video camera I've imported them into my Lr catalog, but it appears that there are some limitations with regard to renaming video files. For example, I've discovered that I cannot rename these files from inside Lr. So I went outside Lr and renamed them in my...

    UI Yellow cast

    Thanks for getting into the weeds with me on this. I will process your comments and use the link you attached and see if I can sort it out from here.

    UI Yellow cast

    Thanks again for that explanation but I still don't get it. If my laptop has a "monitor profile" and that profile's default settings cause all apps, except Lr, to display normally? do I have that wrong?

    UI Yellow cast

    I don't believe this is a system issue, because; as the screenshot shows, other apps/programs don't display with a yellow cast. The only one with that yellow cast is Lr. It's weird because when I drag it onto an ext monitor it loses that yellow cast. The cast returns when I drag it back onto...

    UI Yellow cast

    When I open Lr on my ThinkPad the entire UI has a yellow cast. When I move it off the Thinkpad screen it turned grey, the color it is supposed to be. This cast only affects Lr. None of my other apps get this cast, so I'm sure it's not a common graphic setting.

    Removed or Deleted folders return

    Thanks for responding. You hit the nail on the head! My Default Catalog is on L:/, an external SSD But in the Preferences Sync tab, the path for "Specify location ..." was C:\Users\My ThinkPad\Pictures\Lightroom. The "My ThinkPad" folder was generated by my ThinkPad computer! That's been...

    Removed or Deleted folders return

    Any thoughts on my last post; the Read Only error that appears when Lr opens? The error appears to be in a subfield of the one indicated in the error.

    Removed or Deleted folders return

    Sorry, it's taken so long to f/u on this "weird" issue. IT sent 2 technicians out a couple of weeks ago and they witnessed those files returning after being deleted, then spent an hour commiserating. They weren't familiar with Lr, per se, but they explored the sync options and, based on their...

    Removed or Deleted folders return

    I had the OS tuned up but that didn't fix it. The next day I called back and asked them to address these 2 folders again. They logged onto my computer but couldn't figure out what was happening, so they are sending a tech to my house next week to see what s/he can do. So the Weirdness...

    I'm going to contact my IT service provider about this and get back to you.

    Removed or Deleted folders return

    ps When I chose the Overwrite option 21 changed to F2 and, at the same time, 17 changed to F1, In Lr, for a flash, F1 appeared then went back to 17! and F2 went back to 21! What is going on???
