Grayed-out and question-mark inflicted folders in Lightroom?
This solution works when your photographs’ Lightroom directory structure remains the same but parent directories have moved (due to, for example, installing a new OS).
Quick solution :
If no parent folder exists:
In the Library module, under the Folders panel (ctrl+shift+2) right-click one folder and [...]
Recently, when loading Word 2007 and Excel 2007 I was getting a dialogue box that told me that the two programs were suffering from an “unifunctions” Visual Basic error. Clicking OK got rid of the box, but it was a bit of a PITA1 to always have [...]
I was having a problem with Firefox 3 where all my cookies were being deleted each and everytime I re-launched the program. Luckily after some Google-fu, I found some other people having similar problems to my own. The solution? Deleteing the Torbutton extension. Seems to have solved my problems.
I’ve been the good boy that WordPress wants me to be and I’ve just upgraded to 2.6. It wasn’t without its moments, though. All the upgrade process went just fine, but when I went to log in to my dashboard–the backend of the blog–I was met with a message that said that my password was [...]
or, Where on the D80 camera body is serial number?

So, I use Adobe Photoshop Lightroom for importing and editing my photographs. Great program, but in the past couple of days, I’ve noticed that my primary hard drive has been getting quite full and I didn’t know why.

On the Google [...]
So, I’m a big fan and enthusiastic user of Flickr. Its helped me get about 15.3x the enjoyment out of taking photographs then I had prior to becoming a member. And while the site is pretty intuitive and easy to use, I’ve found some extra tools that help make Flickring easier, and that [...]

There is a new danger floating around the Internet right now, a zero-day exploit taking advantage of the Windows Media Format (WMF) vulnerability. Its not limited to WMF files, it is taking the shape [...]
About me
I am an education researcher and practitioner, with a focus on higher education and the environment. I consider myself, above all, a naturalist. I'm the pack-mate of two border terriers. I live within the Speed River Watershed in Guelph, Ontario. I enjoy photography. I lead nature tours across North America. I teach courses on Natural History. I likely spend too much time on the Internet.
Oh, and the opinions expressed here are wholly my own.
