PSE folder views

I have used Picasa for photo organizing up til now.  I would like to give PSE 8 a try so I downloaded the trial version and I have two quick questions.
The first question is:
In Picasa the folders are listed on the left side of the window.   So if I want the photos from a certain folder all I need to do is click on the appropriate folder.  Does PSE 8 have this?  I can't seem to find anything.
The second question:
In Picasa 3.5 they now have facial recognition but this information is stored in a seperate database not on the photo itself.  Basically if i tag people's faces on one computer and send it to another computer the facial tags do not go with it.  There are steps to get around this but its kind of clunky.
Does the facial recognotion in PSE 8 get stored in the metadata of the picture?
Thanks for any help

So if I want the photos from a certain folder all I need to do is click on the appropriate folder.  Does PSE 8 have this?
Give the command Display > Folder Location.  Beware that in previous versions of PSE, it is pretty buggy and often shows the wrong contents of folders.  Not clear if that happens with PSE 8.  It is also extremely slow on large catalogs (thousands of photos).  PSE really wasn't designed to organize photos using folders.
Does the facial recognotion in PSE 8 get stored in the metadata of the picture?
The keyword tags identifying the people get stored in the metadata, but you need to give the command File > Write Keyword Tag.  Note that the rectangular coordinates for each face do not get stored.

  • PSE 7 Sort order in file folder view

    In Thumbnail view I can order the photos by oldest first or newest first. When I change my display option to folder view the photos do not display in any order. Not the order taken (oldest to newest) or (newest to oldest) or by filename. I am unable to determine the logic that is applied in folder view. Further, I can not locate a sort tool either in folder view. I am running Vista, and am new to PSE. I have been running Macintosh with iPhoto, so this is my mindset. Any migration advice from iPhoto Mac to Vista PSE7 would also be of interest.

    Ernst,
    The PSE Organizer is designed for organizing photos by date/time and keyword tags, not folders and filenames. So most people find that once their photos have the right date/time, they can profitably ignore folders and filenames. A couple of suggestions for getting all your photos to have the right date/time:
    1. Adjust the date/time of each folder of images as described in the previous message, so they all have the correct date/time. That may be a little tedious, but if you have 20 different such folders, youll be done soon enough. Then in the Organizers Thumbnail view, all the photos will be arranged by date/time.
    2. Create a new album in the Organize pane. Then put each folder of images with wrong date/times into the album. Then click on the album name in the Organize pane to show just those images. Now you can freely rearrange their order within the album. Once theyre ordered correctly, you can select all of them and use Edit > Adjust Date And Time to shift them to the correct starting time(s).

  • Folder view like in Picasa with PSE 8 Organizer

    Hi!
    Is it possible to have a folder view similar to the one in Picasa?
    Martin

    The whole point of the PSE Organizer is to provide you with a better way to organize your photos than using folders. That better way is using PSE structures like tags, captions, notes. So the PSE Organizer has limited ability to display folders; the folder structure you see in PSE is the only way to display folders.

  • PSE 11 - Where is folder view?

    I just upgraded from PSE 9 to 11. Where is the folder view that allows me to browse my hard drive, right click a folder and import all of the images in that folder that are not already in the catalog? Thanks.

    For a quick tour of the Photoshop Elements 11 interface, watch this video on Adobe TV http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-photoshop-elements-11/the-new-photoshop-elements-11-user-i nterface-/

  • Problem With Elements 10 Organizer Showing Wrong Files in Folders (In Folder View)

    I just got started using Elements 10 on Windows XP and have had some problems with the Organizer. Once it was installed and had cataloged all my photos, I made sure to only move files and folders to different locations from within Organizer. However, now it seems to have lost track of which photos are in which folder. It will "remember" that there are 3 photos in a folder (in Folder View) and only show three photos in that folder, but they will be 3 random photos from a different location. Opening that item shows that thumbnail and referenced file are the same, so it isn't just a thumbnail problem. And looking in the actual folder with Windows Explorer shows that right photos. I'm not sure if I should run an Optimize or Repair on the catalog or if there is something else I can do to fix the problem. I don't need to use Folder View too often, but sometimes I do and I use it to reorganize the actual locations of files. Not sure what would happen if I did it now (with the obvious catalog confusion).
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks,

    Image size.  I have been scanning old 35mm images.  Any image greater than about 8100 pixels causes thumbnails to fail - this sounds like being around 2 to the power of 23 but what a really odd combinatin that is.
    8100 pixels? All of my photos are larger than that, and I don't have this problem. Do you mean 8100 pixels on a side? There is a known limitation in PSE that photos above a certain pixel size on a side cannot be displayed in the Organizer. I no longer remember what that size is, perhaps someone else can chime in. Scanning your images to be 8100 pixels on a side would be overkill for me; however maybe for you its an important thing to do.
    I have about 10,000 photos in the catalog but need to load up about another 5,000 historic images, and we take about 1,500 images per annum.
    This is not a problem for PSE.
    I have played with databases, so if i can get into the organizer database (at least to do backups), ideally with Access, that would be brilliant.  Any suggestions?
    If you are going to play with the database through Acess, I think you will fail. I believe that PSE uses SQLite as its database, so you have to use SQLite to view the contents. If you are going to do this, work only on a copy of the database. As this is a long-standing bug in PSE (since at least PSE6), and no one that I know of has found a workaround, and people have reported that the rest of PSE behaves as if the photos are where they are expected to be, my guess is that the bug is in the way PSE displays the photo location in folders. And if that's the case, that the database is correct and its only the display that is incorrect, then there's really nothing you can do to fix that; monkeying around with the database itself won't help.
    whereas I had complete confidence in Adobe products being a long time Photoshop fan, I am now taken aback, so any help would be much appreciated.
    I agree with you, this is a shame that PSE has this problem and it has gone unfixed since PSE6. Your choices are:
    use tags and captions and notes to organize in Thumbnail view, and not use Folder Location View
    stop using Organizer, use your operating system to browse your folders, only use the PSE Editor
    switch to Lightroom, which has a quality Organizer (called the "Library Module") that doesn't seem to have this particular bug, and in general seems very solid, behaves well and is relatively bug free. (Lightroom 3 currently on sale in the vicinity of $79 (USD) as the anticipation is that Lightroom 4 will be released soon)
    switch to other organizing software, there are many, but I make no recommendations as I have tried only PSE and Lightroom

  • Organizer folder view doesn't show pictures

    All of my pictures on my computer have been imported into Organizer (PSE 9).  When I choose the display option of "Folder location," and click on one folder, sometimes the pictures show and sometimes they don't.  And some of the pictures show and some don't.  Most of the folders show no pictures.  Right now I want to edit a picture but I cannot get to it in Organizer because in the folder it's in, only 3 of maybe 20 pictures show and it is not one of them.  Many pictures show in Windows(7) Explorer that have never shown in Organizer.

    Hi ,
    Have you imported the files in Organizer. If not then right click on the desired folder shown on the left hand side in Folder View. Choose the third option which says 'Import to Organizer' to import and view all of the folder's files in Organizer.
    If I have understood the problem incorrectly and you have already imported those files to Organizer then try this : Switch to thumbnail view for a while. Search and select the file you want to work on. While the file is still selected in thumbnail view, choose to switch to Folder View to verify if the file is still not shown in Folder View ?
    Hope this helps. Thanks

  • Moving files/folders in Folder view to new drives/partions etc?

    If I open the Organizer in Folder view mode & drag a folder or individual pictures to another location will each the pathway to each individual picture be updated by PSE 10?  The reason that I ask is that I would like the Organizers pathway to better reflect the actual locations of my Hard drive.
    If this works will doing this also work across different hard drives & partitions?
    It would be nice to end up with folder sub folder tree to closely reflect that of the Organizer

    Yes just drag and drop.
    It’s easier putting everything in say My Pictures. Sometimes external hard drives are right at the bottom of the left hand panel and dragging whilst expanding the tree can be a bit tricky.

  • Folder view changes after saving file

    After a while, whenever I choose a starting folder in a save dialog, where the folder view is Columns, the folder view changes to that view in Finder as well, but I want it to stay in List view, while brows in the save dialog in Columns view.
    How can I make sure, that whichever folder I choose from the save dialog, it's view never changed from List to Columns view, (regardless wether I choose Column view, or it opened already in that view) without changing each and every folder preference individually?

    Every time you resave a JPEG, information is lost. How much depends upon the degree of compression - more compression, more loss, smaller file.
    A one off save is probably insignifincant. The fact that the file size changes is unsurprising. PSE probably does its compression a bit differently from the camera.

  • PSE9 and Folder View changes

    I recently upgraded from PSE7 and it appears that in this version you can see only the folder you click on and sometimes not even that.
    Is there anyway to see all the selected photos grouped by folder as I could do in all earlier versions?
    Even worse, I had a small database with all photos in a single folder. When I switch to folder view (with all images showing in  thumbnail view) then all photos disappear!!! Even though the icon in the finder view indicates that there are photos in the folder.
    My databases have had thumbnails refreshed, no images need to be reconnected, and have been optimized and repaired.
    In case it matters: Windows 7 64 bit with all updates applies to PSE9.

    The 30 day free trial is an excellent idea. The problem for upgrading users is the difficulty of keeping things viable for the older version while actively using the new one.
    Elements data is extraordinarily difficult to fix when anything gets messed up in the connection area. Trying to reconnect photos once PSE (every version) loses its links is unbelievable. The program is extremely stupid. I had an entire database that somehow had the "C" replaced by "F". The remaining parts of the file names were unchanged. It took me the better part of two days to fix. Any decent programmer (I am a semi-retired programmer with about 45 years experience) would have the sense to first assume that the device was wrong since that happens so easily.
    I figure my problem was caused by my repair of a crashed disk where I had to restore from backups. The "F" disk was the source of the backup and data was put on C: yet somehow all links were lost.
    Don't ever try to use DVD's as anything more than a backup either. Newer versions cannot always read the DVD's so recovery that is even worse.
    I am far off thread, but all relates to using a free trial. I would expect links to be messed up in the process.
    Also, the old folder view made fixes much easier - I dread trying to change locations with this buggy folder view.
    Ah well, thanks for the comments.

  • PSE8 Organiser Folder View?

    In PSE8 Organiser I can usually scroll down through all my folders when using Folder View. PSE9 only displays one folder at a time.
    Today I opened PSE8 Organiser and it's behaving just like PSE9, only letting me see one folder at a time. Yesterday it was fine.
    Has anyone any idea what might have caused this? I really need to scroll continuously through folders, which is why I am still using the PSE8 Organiser.

    Folder Location view in PSE 6, 7, and 8 is buggy and often shows the wrong contents of folders:
    http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshop-elements-faq.htm#_Folder_Location_view
    Deleting and reimporting the "missing" photos won't help.   Adobe doesn't care enough about this bug to fix it.

  • Link to A folder View in a PDF Portfolio - feature no longer working - please advise

    Hi, I am no longer able to link to a Folder View of a PDF Portfolio:
    Within a PDF portfolio i need to link from a PDF to a folder view in the Portfolio. I am using Link Action - Go to Page View.
    This used to work for me - very important feature that no longer works. Please advise a workaround.
    Steps:
    1. Start a PDF Portfolio that contains files and folders
    2. Open a PDF in the Portfolio
    3. in the opened PDF click Add or Edit Link
    4. Define a link area and set it to Go To A Page Vies
    5. In the past i have been able to target a Folder View in the Portfolio - ie. direct a user not to a file, but instead to a folder view that contains relevant files. I would do this by setting the Target Page View to my desired folder view
    6. This used to work in bringing a user to the folder view i specify. Now it does nothing. If i go back to the PDF and EDIT the Link i see this. File: Parent Document Page 1. This in fact does nothing.
    Please advise, am i doing this wrong, it used to work. I have tried several workarounds, with no luck.
    thanks!

    There's an extension or two, or a combination of extensions which seem to be causing that in Firefox 6.0.2. One that has been mentioned is TabMix Plus.
    http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    You need to figure out what is causing it, and disable that extension/s until they are fixed by their developer.

  • PI 7.11 sp6 Integration Builder - folder view error

    Experts,
    We recently installed SAP NW PI 7.11 (ehp1) up to sp6.  This is a new install.  We did all the wizards, etc and things are basically ok.
    we execute SXMB_IFR, then go to "integration builder" link and login.
    If I change the view from "object view" (icon of 2 people) to "folder view" (icon of folder), we get the following error:
    class com.sap.guid.GUID:library:core_lib at com.sap.engine.boot.loader.ResourceMultiParentClassLoader at 2353f67e at alive incompatible with interface com.sap.aii.ib.bom.gen.XiReference:sap.com/com.sap.xi.directory at com.sap.engine.boot.loader.ResourceMultiParentClassLoader at 79c008cf @ alive
    I found this note, but it does not quite describe my problem:
    Note 1525457 - Previous version of Directory API and Value Mappings
    I searched all through SDN and OSS, nothing yet.  I'm going to put in a message but I was wondering if anyone out there has seen this?
    Thanks!
    NICK

    experts,
    FYI, ready my problem details but I wanted to add one thing.  Apparently were were at sp5 for a brief time and our developer did create some object while at that level.  He reported the issue since we moved to SP6

  • Albums and tags in folder view PSE9

    I have just converted from v6 to v9. In v9. I have a pictures folder with dated subfolders. In v9, using albums to search or tags, I cannot search the whole pictures folder ie all the subfolders. It will only search within the folder I am viewing. The means I have effectively lost the ability to search. It worked in v6 ok. I can search using albums/tags only when I am in thumbnail view. I have checked all the varioous options and views and cannot work out if something is wrong or a different functionality. In v6 when in folder view I click on "My pictures" all the photes can be viewed and I can scroll through all the sub folders using the slider down the rightr side. In v9 when I do this nothing is displayed and I have to click on a specific folder to view photos but only those in the subfolder. Any ideas how to solve this issue?
    Neil

    I agree.  This upgrade has lost important features and is extremely slow.  If I had only known, I defintely would not have upgraded.
    Hopefully, the folks from Adobe are following this and will issue a patch to make the organizer usable.  I'm about to just switch to Picasa for the organizer features.

  • Duplicate folders NAME~1 appear in PSE9 Elements 9 Orgainser folder view

    I am running Photoshop Elements 9 (PSE9) in windows7 and I am having a problem of apparently empty duplicate folders in Organiser's folder view (thumbnails on the right, Windows Explorer type folder list on the left).
    A new apparently empty folder structure has appeared on in the folder view, identical to my main set of photo folders but containing no thumbnails and with a truncated folder name, eg DigitalPhotos becomes Digita~1 and FamilyandFriends becomes Family~1.  If I delete any of the apparently empty subfolders in the duplicate folders, it deletes all the real jpgs from the hard drive and they show up as a missing file when I click on the proper thumbnail in the proper folder. It would appear to me that the catalog is referring to the same underlying file at two points for my whole catalog.
    As the folders are apparently empty there is no ability to use the delete file option and uncheck delete file to delete only from the catalog
    I have tried..
    - catalog optimise
    - catalog repair anyway (no faults found)
    - catalog repair rebuild visual similarity index
    - deleting the thumbnail file from ProgramData\Adobe\etc. then rebuilding all thumbnails (took hours) - I thought this had solved the problem when I checked very late last night but it wasb back when I turned on the computer this morning.  I am now questioning whether in fact this solved the problem or if this was my imagination/ lack of sleep
    They clearly shouldn't be there and I am concerned that double-links to the same underlying file will cause me corruption-related trouble.
    Any ideas?  I am really concerned the whole thing is going to crash on me and erase endless hours of work.
    Thanks

  • Single click folder name to expand folder in folder view?

    As with prior versions, in [Windows] Explorer's main window, you can enable hovering to select and single clicking to expand the folder (but that is a pain in the rear when working with files). Windows XP folder view nicely allowed single clicking the folder name to expand the folder. Was that removed from Windows 7? Looks like the only way to expand a folder in folder view is to either click on the small plus sign or to double click on the folder name.  Or is there a switch somewhere I am missing? Thanks.

    "...Things are worse than that now... When you single click on a folder name in the folder list, the folder contents show in the right hand file window, as usual. But, when you use an arrow key to move to a folder name in the folder list, the folder
    contents no longer show in the right hand file window...."
    The option  seems to be disabled. It is in Explorer>tools>folder options>navigation pane>"automatically expand to current folder" (win7 v6.1
    Excluding this extremely useful feature really cripples Win7Explorer. I was spoiled by w9x and XP explorers. I am new to MS forums. Is there a moderated microsoft forum where this question can be posted, in the hope that a patch is produced?
