Linux - Browse other hard drive

[Dobly]

I have Aftershot Pro in my Linux Mint 14 OS.

When I browse for files Aftershot Pro only looks in SDA 1, my system drive.

My archive of RAW image files (about 200gb worth) is on SDA 2.

How can I get Aftershot Pro it look at a different harddrive??

Where do you have sda2 mounted?

Try looking under /media/<some_dir> or /mnt/<some_dir>.

That is a good question. I'll check when I get home (@work now).. Even if I knew that, where in Aftershot Pro would i tell it look there. The top most thing on the file broswer is the slash / character (or is it a back slash \ ). Anyway, if the other drive is mounted (which I assume to the case as I can get to from the OS) why can't it be seen?

COULD it be becuase the other drive in NTFS? Should not matter. Just thought I'd put it out there.

Or make a symbolic link from the archive directory to your home directory:

sudo ln -s /opt/archive /home/Dobly/archive

assuming:
/opt is the mountpoint for SDA2 - you can check with the df console command
/home/Dobly is your home directory
you want the picture archive to be visible to all the programs and sessions you start

I believe sudo is one of the base packages that is in every flavour of Mint (although I am still on Maya, and I have only ever used the KDE and the GNOME versions - the latter back in Lisa time).

If SDA2 is mounted via the brain dead gfs node, the AS will not see it as AS ignores directories and files starting with a "." (after all they are considered hidden by UNIX conventions).
Only programs that use the appropriate libraries will then see the mount points.
Workaround is either a symlink or using the regular mount mechanism.

Ubuntu 12.10 and Mint 14 changed the media path from /media/somedrive to /media/username/somedrive. Perhaps thats the problem?

No.. This one was a PICNIC.. (Problem In Chair, Not In Computer).

Coming fresh out of Window7, I had no idea that the other drives were 'mounted' in a folder on SDA1.

I found the drive in /Media/<username>/<harddrive>

Thanks everyone.
