Problem importing into Lightroom 1.0 on Vista

Posted by: Neil In: neil|Photography|tech

After getting my new PC, loaded with Vista Ultimate, I’ve experience trouble importing some photos from my Nikin D70s camera. I did some research and discovered the resolution.

Vista does not like the forward slash that Lightroom uses when importing using “by date” organization. You can simply double-click on the path within the “organize” box (with the check mark on it), you can modify it and replace it with a backslash. The import should work fine after that.

Cheers! Happy importing!

Yes!!! Thanks a million for posting this! I have two computers with Lightroom; one on xp and the other on Vista and could not figure out where it went wrong! This helped a lot and all is now working is it should be!

Thanks for the info. Except I would add the following instructions:

1. Click on “File”
2. Select “Import Photos”
3. Pick the image(s) that you want to import and then click “Open”
4. After you click the “Open” button, the “Import Photos” screen will appears with thumbnails.
5. On the same screen, where it says “Organize”, use the pulldown menu next to it, and select the last “date format” on the list (this format does not contain the “/”)
6. Click “Import”

This worked for me.

Thanks again,

  • Neil: @SM... great tips to make it simpler to connect. I think I'll be using them myself. I've actually been out of touch with ShoreTe
  • SM: Actually, You can telnet to shoretel switches from any PC you choose. (As long as you can see the switch and you have access to run ipbxctl.exe) Eithe
  • Neil: AJ... did you try to enable telnet from the Director server? I believe it can only be done from there.
