I have two external drives with distinct images on each. I purchased a third and want to get the images off the original two drives and move it into a new folder structure (year/event name).  I’m having trouble getting this done. How exactly is the best way to get light room to help identify all the image/video files on each external drive and allow me to manually move sets of images into new folders on the new drive. I want to non-destructively copy files to the new drive while not changing anything on the original drives.  Of interest is:   Do I need even minimal previews since ill be working with all the drives online at once. How best to clear out all the leg work and start fresh with files of my new drive. I don’t want to leave junk around.
I have two large external drives with about 2.5 TB of data. About half the storage is images and videos that I want to put on a new NAS drive/device. I don’t want to carry over junk, duplicates and non photo/video files.   I am hoping Lightroom can help scour the mounds of folder structures on these drives and copy images/videos the new drive that I want to catalogue and keep clean as a working platform for all images and video. Once completed I plan to format the original drives and copy the cleaned-up content back to them as part of a backup strategy.  Can Lightroom help? If so, how? If not, is there some other application for Mac OS X that I can use for help with this? One problem I had with my original attempt is I wasn't sure how to move images and rename folders to get the new drive contents to make sense, so I formatted it and am looking to try again.  (steps for this operation would be helpful)
What is potential energy truly? How can I remove whitespace when declaring an XSL variable? What defines a PC's consciousness of self, memories and knowledge? How can I stop being prompted to unlock the 'default' keyring on boot? Whenever Ubuntu boots up, a dialogue pops up asking me to unlock my default keyring. Is there some way this can unlock automatically through PAM or some other magical way? Even though I have the latest Adobe Flash player 11.2 for Linux in Firefox -   - a particular online flash game still requests that I update to the latest flash player.  I've tried this online game on my laptop (Windows 8 with Flash Player 11.8) and it has no problems.  Is there a way to trick Ubuntu or this game into thinking Flash Player 11.8 is "installed"? When I write C++ code for a class using templates and split the code between a source (CPP) file and a header (H) file, I get a whole lot of "unresolved external symbol" errors when it comes to linking the final executible, despite the object file being correctly built and included in the linking.  What's happening here, and how can I fix it? How does TikZ sort intersections? I used the sort by key for intersections to sort along a line, expecting the intersections to be numbered 1 through 5. Why were they numbered 4, 5, 3, 1, 2? Playing around with it, I could not seem to figure out how the order is determined. The code and image follow.  \documentclass{standalone} \usepackage{tikz} \usetikzlibrary{intersections}  \begin{document} \begin{tikzpicture}     \draw[name path=grid] [xstep=3,ystep=2] (0,0) grid (9,8);     \draw[-&gt;, name path=line] (2,1) -- (7,7);     \draw[name intersections={of=grid and line, sort by=line, name=i, total=\t}]         \foreach \s in {1,...,\t}{(i-\s) node {\s}}; \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} Setting the hostname: FQDN or short name? I've noticed that the "preferred" method of setting the system hostname is fundamentally different between Red Hat/CentOS and Debian/Ubuntu systems.   and the  say the hostname should be the FQDN:     HOSTNAME=&lt;value&gt;, where &lt;value&gt; should be the Fully Qualified Domain   Name (FQDN), such as hostname.example.com, but can be whatever   hostname is necessary.   The  is slightly more ambiguous:     Setup prompts you to supply a host name for this computer, either as a   fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) in the format hostname.domainname   or as a short host name in the format hostname.    says the hostname should not use the FQDN:     3.5.5. The hostname      The kernel maintains the system hostname. The init script in runlevel   S which is symlinked to "/etc/init.d/hostname.sh" sets the system   hostname at boot time (using the hostname command) to the name stored   in "/etc/hostname". This file should contain only the system hostname,   not a fully qualified domain name.   I haven't seen any specific recommendations from IBM about which to use, but  seems to have a preference.  My questions:   In a heterogeneous environment, is it better to use the vendor recommendation, or choose one and be consistent across all hosts? What software have you encountered which is sensitive to whether the hostname is set to the FQDN or short name? Let $\Omega$ be an open subset in $\mathbb{C}$. Let $\{f_n\}$ be a sequence of holomorphic functions on $\Omega$ such that $f_n\to f$ pointwise and converges uniformly on any compact subset $K\subseteq \Omega$. Then by Cauchy Theorem and Morera Theorem, $f$ is holomorphic. Let $f_n$ and $f'$ be the derivatives of $f_n$ and $f$ respectively. Prove that $f_n'\to f'$ uniformly on any compact subset $K\subseteq \Omega$.   How to prove? What is the benefit of breaking up a continuous predictor variable? I'm wondering what the value is in taking a continuous predictor variable and breaking it up (e.g., into quintiles), before using it in a model.   It seems to me that by binning the variable we lose information.   Is this just so we can model non-linear effects?  If we kept the variable continuous and it wasn't really a straight linear relationship would we need to come up with some kind of curve to best fit the data? Can I color text by using an image, so that the color isn't flat? I'm using tikz to attempt to make a book cover, and I have a "wallpaper" image that looks like leather (not that I've handled that many leather-bound books). I'm using the node command to place text over the top of it, but none of the colors I've experimented with look decent.  Can I use an image of gold-leaf as the fill/stroke for the text? Or for that matter, for the path lines as well?  I've tried googling for this, but I can't figure out a set of keywords non-generic enough to pull back useful results. What does the explicit keyword mean? What are the restrictions on the use of Slayer's Prey? In the recent book Xanathar's Guide to Everything, there are some subclasses/archetypes added for Rangers, among them the  (p. 43), which gives some specific helpful features. Hunter's Sense  At 3rd level, you gain the ability to peer at a creature and magically discern how best to hurt it. As an action, choose one creature you can see within 60 feet of you. You immediately learn whether the creature has any damage immunities, resistances, or vulnerabilities and what they are. If the creature is hidden from divination magic, you sense that it has no damage immunities, resistances, or vulnerabilities. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of once). You regain all expended uses of it when you finish a long rest.  The limitations on use are clearly spelled out. Slayer's Prey  Starting at 3rd level, you can focus your ire on one foe, increasing the harm you inflict on it. As a bonus action, you designate one creature you can see within 60 feet of you as the target of this feature. The first time each turn that you hit that target with a weapon attack, it takes an extra 1d6 damage from the weapon. This benefit lasts until you finish a short or long rest. It ends early if you designate a different creature.  So from this, I would interpret it as it being able to switch from creature to creature at will, but there is no guidance as to what happens if the creature under the mark dies, or if you can carry it (so to speak) from encounter to encounter. Is there a limitation on the use of Slayer's Prey in the wording that I am missing? Or is this a basically a multiple use feature? (i.e., you can designate any creature as a bonus action, with no limitations on uses per day)? The extra d6 seems a little overpowering at lower levels, and somewhat meh at higher levels. FWIW, the GM basically allowed it as multi-use for the session, and was going to also try to find clarification. A 256GB SSD has Windows-10 and 16.04 installed.  BIOS not UEFI.  A charity I work with requires me to use Quickbooks Desktop on Windows.  The plan is to ghost the existing system to a 512GB or larger SSD and create a third bootable Windows 7  partition for performing charity activities.   Is this possible to have a third partition? Is there a good example you have used as a guide? Is triple booting with two Windows partitions different from 2 Linux partitions?   If you have done this before ( with GRUB) please indicate this in your response: lessons-learned are appreciated.  Thank you When are you supposed to use escape instead of encodeURI / encodeURIComponent? When encoding a query string to be sent to a web server - when do you use escape() and when do you use encodeURI() or encodeURIComponent():  Use escape:  escape("% +&amp;=");   OR  use encodeURI() / encodeURIComponent()  encodeURI("http://www.google.com?var1=value1&amp;var2=value2");  encodeURIComponent("var1=value1&amp;var2=value2"); Why do microcontrollers have so little RAM? Maybe this is more of a perceptional problem, but it seems like microcontrollers have advanced by leaps and bounds in the last 20 years, in almost all regards, higher clock speed, more peripherals, easier debugging, 32-bit cores, etc...  It is still common to see RAM in the 10's of KB (16/32&nbsp;KB).  It doesn't seem like it could be an issue of cost or size directly. Is it an issue of complexity with the RAM controller above some threshold?  Or is it just that it isn't generally required?  Looking over a parts matrix at a popular Internet supplier, I see one  with 256&nbsp;KB for less than US$8, and then for a few dollars more you can find a few more that are ROMless, but it seems pretty sparse...  I don't exactly have a need for a microcontroller with a MB of volatile storage, but it seems like somebody might... Selecting the right crank length What is the best way to determine the correct crank length for my height and more specifically my leg length? How can I get a list of all the implementations of an interface programmatically in Java? Can I do it with reflection or something like that? In a table of contents that has been generated with LaTeX's \tableofcontents command, I would like to add a vertical space before a Chapter item in the table of contents. One way that I have in my notes is to use  \addtocontents{toc}{\protect\vspace{10pt}}   at a desired location in the document so that this gets processed by \tableofcontents to include an appropriate vertical space in the table of contents. I have two questions:   Is the above the correct way to get a vertical space in a table of contents? Why is it necessary to use the \protect command here?   Thank you...
