Automatically using a file name as a caption in Adobe Photoshop Elements 8

Hello!
I am trying to import a group of photos that have file names which describe the photo. Is there a way for PSE to automatically caption imported images using the file name as a caption?

Buy PSE9 or wait another month or two and buy PSE10 when it comes out.

I have downloaded the two files needed for the upgrade of Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 to version 12 but I cannot open them to make them run and install. What am I supposed to do. One is a very large .7z file just over 1gb in size.

How do I open up a .7z file just over 1gb in size? I have just downloaded this as an upgrade from Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 to version 12. I cannot see any sign of the Akamai program on my computer that is supposed to open and install the two files that I downloaded.

Thanks Hans
I don’t mind mountain climbing but anything serious to do with a computer scares me silly.
I installed the 64 bit version of 7zip and once I figured out how to tell the computer to use the right application within that to open the 7zip file, the big file opened and I was able to apply the .exe file to get things going and installed. In the end the default location the installation chose was program files x86 which I think is the 32 bit folder but it all seems to be ok now.
Many thanks again for your response.

Method to automatically truncate html file names?

I am using RoboHelp HTML 10 and building WebHelp.
I import a Word file for content.
Some of our topic names are long as in this example, which is over 60 characters.
Create the Hierarchical Structure by Adding Elements Separately\
Whne RH builds the html file for this topic, it creates the html file with the long name.
When I put this up on our build server, this actually stops the build process for the product.
I've been told that these lengthy file names are causing the problem.
I can manually truncate the file names in RH, but there are a lot of them.
Is there any way. to tell RH to restrict hrml file names to a certain length?
Thanks for your help.
Jenny

First of all there is no way to automatically change the file names. By default RH creates topic file names from the topic name and as the Word import uses the default setting, that is what you get. However I suspect that your Developers are only telling you half the truth. I suspect it is a combination of the file names AND the directory path that is the issue. Try shortening the path and see if that makes a difference.

Search using partial file name?

I know this issue has been addressed before, but I haven't found a satisfactory answer.
I use the Search field in the toolbar to search for files on my external drive. That external drive contains a file named "housefly.psd." When I search for "house" using the File Name filter and with columns set to Kind, all the Photoshop files that begin with "house" appear at the top of the window, including the file I'm searching for.
But if I search for "fly," the "housefly.psd" file doesn't appear in the list at all, although files containing the word "fly" with a space before the word show up in the list (e.g. - "big fly.psd").
Users aren't always going to remember the initial characters in a file name they want to find. So how do I find the file if I only remember some of the internal characters?
Thanks,

Yeah, isn't Spotlight great?! Give this example to all the experts who gush about Spotlight.
What you see is how Spotlight was designed to work -- at least for hoi polloi like us. The query looks for words, not strings. "Fly" is one word, "big fly" is two words, but "housefly" is one word. It contains the string "fly", but not the word "fly". Now, if you had had the foresight and forethought to name your file "HouseFly", then probably Spotlight would have found it, "Fly", unlike "fly" being, by the rules of the Apple wallahs, a word, not a string. Is that all? No, of course not, that would have been too simple. Spotlight also has hidden somewhere a private list of exceptions. So "books" in "Audiobooks" is always a word, no matter how capitalised; but in "Cookbooks" it's just a mere string, and hence not worthy of notice.
How do you get around this (without using Terminal)?
(1) One way is to construct a query, as already suggested, with the Filename and Contains. But, beware! if you're searching in Finder, and you've already entered a string in the Spotlight search field on the toolbar, the query constructed thus will be restricted to the hits of the query already in the search field. So, if you've enter "fly" in the window toolbar search field, and then construct a Filename Contains "fly" query, you'll find nothing, because any subset of the ∅ (empty set) is also empty. This restriction applies to any query thus constructed.
(2) If you are a real, hair-chested, red-blooded Mac user, you don't use namby-pamby Filename queries. You go straight for the jugular. In the pop-up menu, instead of "Filename", choose "Other...". Then scroll through the interminable list to "Raw Query" and enable it. Then type in the Raw Query search box
kMDItemFSName == *fly*
Note 1: "*fly*", not "*fly", because the Item's File System Name is "housefly.psd".
Note 2: You can use the keyword "name" in the window toolbar Spotlight search field, thus
name:housefly
However, this one doesn't take wildcards.
(3) If you happen to be just a normal person, who uses a computer to be productive and not to exercise one's fingers by typing lengthy and abstruse keywords (or as a Rorschach test to have fun divining the inscrutable minds of Apple engineers), then my suggestion is to give Spotlight the widest possible berth and use something else. I suggest Find File by John R Chang, Find Any File by Thomas Tempelmann, and EasyFind by Christian Grünenberg.

How do I get files from multiple DVDs that are using thesame file names?

How do I get files from multiple DVDs that are using thesame file names? Message says "file already exists in catalog"

I am viewing your question from different perspective, that is, the issue that you face when you are ripping VOBs from a second DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc using Premiere Elements,
It is best to give the Premiere Elements version and computer operating system that it is running on. In the absence of that, I will generalize.
Assuming that you are using
Premiere Elements 12
Add Media
"DVD Camera or Computer Drive"
Video Importer
Typically the Video Importer Save In: is C:\Users\Owner\Videos
Each of your DVD discs is going to have the same names for the ripped VOBs (VTS_01_1.VOB and so on depending on the duration of the movie). Consequently, after the ripping of the first DVD's VOBs and their save to Videos, you will end up with that "files already existing..." block for the ripping of the VOBs from the second DVD.
The answer is, for each DVD disc VOB ripping, to plan ahead and create and set for different folders in Videos in the Save In field of the Video Importer.
Please review and then let us know if that works for you. Please do not hesitate to ask if you need clarification on anything that I have written.
Thank you.

Creating Map IDs using HTM File Name

Is it possible to create Map IDs using the File name of the HTM, instead of its Topic Title?

While Generating Map IDs, we get an ID along with a Map # for each HTM in the CSH.
For Example, I have a HTM in my CSH with the following Details:
Topic Title - Access Masks
File Name - admpr00001.htm
Now when I create a Map ID for this page. I can customise the Map ID by setting any/all of the three options: - 'Prefix Map IDs with', 'Make Uppercase' and 'Start Numbering with'. But the Map ID is generated only based on the Topic Title.
Like - ebACCESS_MASKS 1000 where, eb is the set prefix.
Is it possible for me to create a MAP ID using the File Name. In this case, as ebadmpr00001 1000?
Hope I am clear .

What is the exact file name for Adobe Photoshop Elements application?

what is the exact file name for Adobe Photoshop Elements application?
I jsut downn laoded it and the alias does not work. in the support folder I have an application titled Adobe photoshop Elements Editor and it lauches ok but when I got to import a photo it only asks for a frame from a video.

You do not import anything to the editor. You just open things there using File>Open. Import is only for frame from video and for scanning if your scanner is compatible and you install the PSE twain plug-in.
If you wish to use PSE to keep track of your photos, launch Adobe Elements 11 Organizer instead of the editor.

Yes, any version of PSE qualifies for upgrade pricing, but if you're in the US you might want to consider running the trial for now and waiting for the black friday specials, when the full version will be a lot less than the adobe upgrade price.

Can I use Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0 on a Windows 7 machine?

Will my Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0 work on new Windows 7 computer?

I am a retired computer software engineer, systems programmer, systems administrator, systems analyst, systems security manager, systems security software systems programmer for a large company (all at the same time), on IBM mainframe, unix, and pc platforms.
I just installed pse 5 on my Windows 7 64 bit pc a week or so ago, and started using it a few days ago. Yesterday, I noticed severe problems with My Pictures. We just had a cruise departing 10/26/2012 on the Enchantment of the Seas out of Baltimore to Bermuda, a cruise to nowhere, due to Hurricane Sandy, turned out very smooth sailing (and smooth anchoring). I need to post photos so I started using pse 5. I use Windows Explorer to manage my photo files.
I created an enchantment folder for the cruise and put all our photos in it. I created a number of folders under the enchantment folder so I could work on specific areas without changing the original photos. I was editing the photos with pse 5. I tried copying a Halloween group of photos into the sub folder halloween, and it copied those photos into the halloween folder, but made a duplicate of each photo copied in my enchantment folder. So, for each photo I copied I then had two photos with the same name in the from folder, enchantment. The 2nd one of each was not marked copy. I have never seen this on a windows platform. I deleted the duplicates in the enchantment folder, and in so doing the photos in the halloween folder were automatically deleted. Numerous other Windows 7 directory problems ensued. I restarted several times, and tried things with different sub folders and an additional new enchantment folder and received a number of system errors.
I checked pse 5 and found it already had the pse 5.02 update.
Sorry about the length of this post.
With software just about anything could be the culprit, but at this time, I would not recommend using pse 5 on the Windows 7 platform.

I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 plus I create PDF files for work some are scan pdf docs. When I install Photoshop Elements 10 it DOES convert all the PDF files to Photoshop Elements-10 Docs. it even changes and shows the PSE-10 Icon. So I am alway installing PSE-10 or uninstalling it. If I send the PDF file that has been automatically converted to a PSE-10 the person I send the file to can not open it because they do not have PSE-10. What can I do to stop PSE-10 from converting my PDF files? Don't tell me to upgrade PSE-10 I tried their on-line program and it is too advance for a hobby photographer like myself and their Help Desk is impossible to reach.

Hi,

Adobe Photoshop Elements Organizer Stops Working due to Sony AVCHD files

Hello I installed Adobe Photoshop elements and have been having trouble with it crashing.
To solve this problem I deleted my Catalog and added a Catalog with only one folder.
This folder has photos, in JPEG and Sony .ARW format as well as AVCHD files.
I found that by removiing the AVCHD files from the catalog the SW would no longer crash.
This really is not a practical solution since my PC has many folders with many AVC files.
I am trying to see if there is a SW patch or another way to address this issue.
Thanks,

It might work but this is not a practical solution.
I have many picture folders on my pc and several of these have AVC files.
My intention was to use Photo Shop Essentials to edit my pictures. Unfortunately the "Organizer" app crashes when trying to work with my Catalog.
I have narrowed it down to only happening when there are AVC files in my folders. I have seen others have this issue and I found the issue by what they recommended.
Sadly if I am unable to get this to work with my current folders I will have to dump Essentials for another application.

LR4 Problem: The file could not be edited because Adobe Photoshop CS6 could not be launched.

Is there a fix for this? When I try to edit an image in Photoshop from Lightroom 4 (CTRL+E), Photoshop CS6 launches immediately but with no image. In Lightroom 4, after about two minutes, the message box appears saying "The file could not be edited because Adobe Photoshop CS6 could not be launched." When I click OK, the image promptly opens in Photoshop CS6 like normal. This wan an itermittent issue for me after the LR4.1 release. I was hoping that LR4.2 would help, but now I get the error every time.
System
Lightroom 4.2 x64
Photoshop CS6 v13.0.1 x64
Bridge 5.0.1.23 x64
Windows 7 Pro x64
AMD Six Core / 3.9 Ghz
16 GB Memory
NVidia Quadro 1 Gb Video
Scratch space on three drives

This may be a cooincidence, I starting having problems after I started using a Nikon D800, which has 36MP files. LR4 released at the same time as the D800. LR4 shows signs of struggling with the larger files, which are typically 280MB TIFFs for the D800, like freezing for several seconds when using an adjustment brush or going into a spasm with the crop tool. Because Photoshop does not have similar large file issues, I'm doing more basic work in Photoshop, like cropping, dodge and burn, exposure adjustment, etc.
Because Photoshop otherwise runs fine, and appears to read all the prefernes properly mid-issue, to get a better idea of what's going on, I turned on Process Monitor from Technet. For what it's worth, LR4 appears to touch the Photoshop preferences before it launches Photoshop. LR4 must have a memory leak in that corrupts the Photoshop preferences file in a way that makes no difference to Photoshop.
My weekend project is to try Capture One to see if I can spend more time on photography and less troubleshooting Adobe problems. As it stands, LR4 is not usable for me.
