PSE9 Is there a bulk move command?

Ok here is my background. My wife has had PSE 3 for years and I finally got her PSE 9 for Christmas. We installed the new software this week. However, she has an older computer and the 65Gig Drive C is OUT OF ROOM. I added a 320 Gig drive to her PC some time back and have been moving all of her other files over but was told DON"T TOUCH MY PICTURES so they stayed on Drive C.  Here photo's have now exceed the available space on the drive C. So I copied (using Windows File Manager) all of her Photo's to the new drive and installed PSE 9 and told it to import the photos to a new catalog.  Worked great until we realized all her work effort in creating albums was gone.  Woe is me..  So I then imported the old catalog from PSE 3 and all the pictures are there, however, it still points to the copies on Drive C.  I figured out how to move the folders using PSE9 to the other drive but this is taking a long time since I can only do 1 folder at a time.
So back to my question. Does anyone know of a way to bulk move all the pictures from C to F  and keep the albums she created?
Thanks

Here is the best advice about moving files from a computer to another.
http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshop-elements-faq.htm#_Move_your_photos_1
Very often, this implies changing also the version of Elements...
To summarize, the process involves backing up the catalog from PSE3 to an external media (External Hard Disk generally),
Then from the PSE9  Organizer, restoring from this backup (there is an automatic conversion from the PSE3 catalog format to PSE9). Since PSE3 is an old version, I cannot guarantee that albums will be restored correctly, but tags and hierarchies should be ok.
From your description, even if you have correctly copied all files and folders to the new computer, you'll have to convert the PSE3 catalog to the PSE9 version. The PSE3 catalog itself is a folder containing various files, including a catalog.psedb file. You have perhaps already found it by using the menu help / system info. If you copy this folder to the new computer, you can ask PSE8 to convert the catalog, which creates a new one. If the files are not in the same drive C:, you will get a message stating that your media files are missing. Then you should try the 'reconnect missing files' process linked in the above faq.

  • "move" command doesn't work in case of files on network

    I setup a theWatchFolder fold on network as Watch Folder. This works like when the folder on network gets a file, I'm notified via email and the file should move from watch folder (which is on network) to theDestinationFolder (which is also on another network). I used "move" command for that but it copies the files from the theWatchFolder to theDestinationFolder but doesn't move. And there, script shows error "An item with the same name already exists in this location."
    global theWatchedFolder
    global DestinationFolder
    set theWatchedFolder to choose folder
    set theDestinationFolder to choose folder
    on idle
        tell application "Finder"
            set theDetectedItems to every item of theWatchedFolder
            repeat with aDetectedItem in theDetectedItems
                move aDetectedItem to the theDestinationFolder
            end repeat
        end tell
        if theDetectedItems ≠ {} then
            activate
            display dialog "Files for cutout were detected and moved to your " & theDestinationFolder
            tell application "Microsoft Outlook"
                set m to make new outgoing message with properties {subject:"Files For Cutout Received", content:"Hello there:
                Files for cutout received"}
                tell m
                    make new recipient with properties {email address:{name:"KK", address:"[email protected]"}}
                end tell
                send m
            end tell
        end if
        return 1
    end idle

    Hi H:
    Thanks for your help.
    I opted the Option 1 from your script. When a file arrives in Watch Folder, the script still copies to the destination folder (instead of move) and sends email successfully, and this task repeats continuously. The script is as follows:
    global theWatchedFolder
    global theDestinationFolder
    set theWatchedFolder to choose folder
    set theDestinationFolder to choose folder
    on idle
              tell application "Finder"
                        set theDetectedItems to every item of theWatchedFolder
                        repeat with aDetectedItem in theDetectedItems
                                  set a to aDetectedItem as alias
                                  set b to (move a to theDestinationFolder with replacing) as alias
                                  if a ≠ b then
                                            tell current application
                                                      do shell script "rm -rf " & POSIX path of theWatchedFolder
                                            end tell
                                  end if
                        end repeat
              end tell
              if theDetectedItems ≠ {} then
      activate
                        display dialog "Files for cutout were detected and moved to => " & theDestinationFolder
                        tell application "Microsoft Outlook"
                                  set m to make new outgoing message with properties {subject:"Files For Cutout Received", content:"Hello there: Files for cutout received"}
                                  tell m
      make new recipient with properties {email address:{name:"KK", address:"[email protected]"}}
                                  end tell
      --open m
                                  send m
                        end tell
              end if
              return 1

  • No Move Command in Photoshop?

    Hello,
    I am trying to move a selection a certain distance (over and over again), but it seems you can't just access a move dialogue in PS (like in Illus. or InDesign) or add to a number in the Transform palette.
    Pls someone tell me I am wrong...
    Or that there is a free script somewhere that does exatly that
    Thanks
    TomH

    Hi Paul,
    Thanks for getting back to me. I don¹t think I described my problem as well
    as I could have. I want to slice up a large psd map into book pages. To do
    that I need to keep moving the selection across (or down) by the same amount
    (figuring for bleed and overlap). Then I crop the image.  Save the page;
    restore the  full size; then move the selection the same amount again. In
    Illustrator I could just enter a ³+5 in² and it would move it that much no
    matter where it is, but in PS I only seem able  to move the selection to a
    point along the ruler.
    Am I missing something?

    Subject: No Move Command in Photoshop?
    If you use Free Transform you can enter x and/or y values to move something
    a specified amount. Then if you have to move it again the same distance you
    can use Repeat Transform.
    So if you wanted to simulate step and repeat - make a layer - duplicate it -
    move that layer the specified amount by using Free Transform - duplicate
    that layer - Repeat transform.
    Not as easy but pretty quick actually.

    When I try to sync my iPod with iTunes I can't because it says it's over capacity. It's not. It's a 16 GB iPod, it's only 105 songs on there. No movies or pictures or such. Anybody got a word of advise? I've tried resetting the iPod but get the message that it's not possible cause i'm not connected to internet. I am though. Tried managing music manually. I've tried all the usual stuff.

    Go to Settings > General > Usage and see how much is shown available and how much is in "Other".

  • Is there a lock screen command in OS X similar to Screen Lock in Windows?

    I want to lock screen for a brief period of time, and didnt want to log out or shut down the system.
    Is there a lock screen command for this, so that I can lock it and unlock whenever I need?
    Or I am wondering if I can log out without closing the application so that when I log in back, I get to the application and continue working from whereever I left.
    I dont want to close the application and be able to lock or logout the user. Please suggest me some ideas.
    Thanks,

    Open the Security pane of System Preferences and check the box to require the password to wake from sleep or screen saver. In the Desktop & Screen Saver pane, set up the screen saver to activate when the mouse is at a specific corner. The screen saver can be unlocked with the password of the person who is logged in to the machine or with any administrator password.

  • Type "purge" in Terminal and get:   -bash: purge: command not found   Is there another built-in command to clear memory leaks?   want to clear memory periodically

    I have 10.6.8.  When I type "purge" in Terminal I get:   -bash: purge: command not found   Is there another built-in command to clear memory leaks?   I have FreeMemory (works well) and considering FreeMemory Pro, to clear memory periodically, say every 20 minutes, or preferably when a threshold is reached, say when only 100MB is available.

    To get purge to work you need to install Xcode from Optional Installs on the 10.6 install DVD. Also be sure you install CHUD Tools with it.
    But running purge or anything like it is pointless if within a short period of time the VM just grows back again. Sounds like you need more RAM.
    Where are the memory leaks? Just because the VM reaches a certain size doesn't necessarily mean it's from a memory leak.

  • Is there a shortcut key command for 'export'?

    Hello all,
    I'm just wondering if there is a shortcut command for the 'export' dialogue box?
    The only information I seem to be bringing up in searches is 'exporting your shortcuts' to create custom shortcut keys.
    Thanks in advance!

    Yes and No!
    You have to create your own using the Edit>Keyboard Shortcuts command to enter your own shortcut.

  • Is there a DIAdem Script command that can automatically create folders/directories in Windows?

    Hi there!
    I need to automatically create folders/directories in the Windows file system? Is there a DIAdem Script command to do this (like the way you do it in DOS/Unix or even Matlab (mkdir command)? Thanks!

    Hi,
    there are two ways to create folders within a DIAdem script:
    Call FolderCreate("d:\New Folder")
    Dim fso
    Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    Call fso.CreateFolder("d:\New Folder 2")

  • IMAP MOVE command not being used? (server supports it)

    I created an IMAP log, to see whether TB was using the IMAP "MOVE" extension. Despite the fact that my IMAP server does appear to support it, I can't see any MOVE commands in my protocol log. The only times the string "MOVE" appears in log is the CAPABILITY response from the server. FWIW, here is the capability string:
    [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE SORT SORT=DISPLAY THREAD=REFERENCES THREAD=REFS THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT MULTIAPPEND URL-PARTIAL CATENATE UNSELECT CHILDREN NAMESPACE UIDPLUS LIST-EXTENDED I18NLEVEL=1 CONDSTORE QRESYNC ESEARCH ESORT SEARCHRES WITHIN CONTEXT=SEARCH LIST-STATUS SPECIAL-USE BINARY MOVE NAMESPACE QUOTA]
    Note that I moved a message BETWEEN mailboxes, if that makes a difference. (if it only works intra-mailbox, then I can't make use of it)
    What exactly should I see in my protocol log, if TB is using the MOVE command?
    Environmemt: TB 31.0, Windows 8.1-64, Dovecot IMAP server

    Thanks, but before I do that, I don't mind asking for help elsewhere, perhaps on the Dovecot list or something. I notice that an INTRA-mailbox move does go significantly faster, and I see a "moved messages" status message down the bottom, too. (haven't checked the log yet, but I strongly suspect it is using the IMAP MOVE extension for this operation)
    Postbox behaves the same as Thunderbird - inter-mailbox moves are very slow - it is obvious that it is manually moving the messages. (and likewise, intra-mb moves are rapid)
    I kind of suspect that it's just not going to work between mailboxes, despite what the RFC says. If I find out anything, or file a bug report, I will indeed report back.

  • Could not complete the Move command because the result would be too big

    trying to move a picture and I get "could not complete the Move command because the result would be too big".  It is the only layer.

    This is for version 13.1
    I am getting this error as well.  I am trying to combine an ~19,000x3600pixel photo with an ~10,000x3600 pixel photo.  I created a blank file 30,000x4000pixel to put the 2 photos together.  I paste the larger photo into the blank file and position it to the vert center and horiz left of the blank file.  I then paste the smaller picture into the new file.  It goes in at the center in its own layer as expected.  As soon as I try to move it left or right I get the above error message. I can move it ALL the way left and it will stay.
    Also if I just create the blank file and paste the larger file in it and move to the right or left by just a little (say with the cursor controls or mouse but move slightly) I get the error.  If I move all the way left it stays. If I move all the way right it gives an error BUT if I select undo move and redo move it goes to the right and stays.  I tried that with the small file but could not get it to stay right.

  • In PSE9 is there a way to enlarge the levels adjustment panel and effects panel for viewing?

    In PSE9 is there a way to enlarge the levels adjustment panel for viewing?  The histogram is so small. 
    I know we can use the arrow keys to change the settings for the histogram, but it is just the overall view of it I would like to see bigger. 
    I think with PSE8 the effects panel could be dragged out of the panel bin and made longer AND wider, but in PSE9 it can only be made longer when dragged outside the panel bin.
    And I think the whole panel bin could be dragged wider or narrower.

    not really apart from changing the resolution, but theres a a couple of things you can do
    you can change the "minimum font size" in Safari (and other apps) in the General tab - this will enlarge any fonts to the minimum size you specify if they are under that size
    the features in the accessiblilty section of system preferences might be worth a look as well
    the pinch zoom feature is also useful
    unfortunately there isn't a 1-button setting somewhere that can do this, because apps, documents, web pages, images etc all work independently from each other, they use different font types, different zoom levels, etc. You can't just enlarge them all in sync without content getting jumbled up/distorted. if enlarge an app/page/document and get it looking good, on the next one you would probably need to zoom in at a different level for it to look right

  • Really wavy footage when there's lateral movement? (looks like more than an interlacing issue)

    So in the pic below, you can see when ever there is lateral movement (like the gentleman is doing moving from L to R, He gets really wavy... I'm not sure why that is... does anyone know (The footage is NTSC 29.97fps, 720x540
    Thanks all!

    Hi,
    NTSC is usually 720x480, is 540 a typo? Please let us know the video source (DV tape?) and the Sequence Setting used in Premiere.
    Right-click in the Program Monitor window and set fields to NONE and see how it looks, computers aren't that good at displaying interlaced video on their progressive displays and will give you a false impression. That said, it is possible your field order is reversed.
    You can right-click a clip in the Bin and see what the Properties say, and there is the also the option of Modify > Interpret, which will allow you to change the field order if indeed there is a mismatch
    But again, let us know as much as possible about the workflow that got you to this point

  • Portal Favorites "Move" Command

    Hi, When a user is organizing their favorites and select option "Move" they get a dialog that presents the folders in the "Entry Points" Folder.  I'd like to override this move dialog so they only have visibility to their own favorites folder.
    Can anyone direct me how to override the "Move" layout set that is presented?
    Thanks!

    I understand I shouldn't change the system provided move object.  Can you tell me the best way to do add this new move command using best practice?  Below is my best guess.
    Copy command move to move_1 and change to desired layout
    Copy DetailsActionsGroup to DetailsActionsGroup_1 and replace move with move_1
    Copy DetailsGroup to DetailsGroup_1 and replace DetailsActionsGroup with DetailsActionsGroup_1
    Replace move with move_1 in DetailsGroup_1
    Copy desired layoutset to layoutset_1 and change "Commands for the details menu" to DetailsGroup_1
    Thanks again for your valuable help!

  • Inventory for a particular day where there is no movement of stock

    Hi All,
    i have a question regarding reporting on the 0calday for which there is no stock movement, lets say that the stock for particular plant on 08/25/2007- 100, but there is no movement on 08/26/2007, i want to see the value of stock on 08/26/2007, how can i do that? since there wont be any record for that day?
    thanks,
    SB.

    Hi there,
    Wen use content 0IC_C03 cube with cummulate key figures and opening stock balance (2LIS_03_BX) stock each day is calculated adding or sustracting material movements to the opening stock balance, so if there are no movements for one day it doesnt matter as you calculate the stock with 0calday <= your selection date.
    In your case is hard to know with out more info, if you are using a custom solution based on 0IC_C03.
    Hope this helps, let me know if need more help on this but provide more info for your custom solution.
    Regards,
