Copy Catalog in Elements 10 to new catalog?

I want to create a new catalog made up of part of my existing one.  I thought I could do this by copying my existing catalog to a new catalog and then simply deleting what I do not want in the new catalog, but I can't figure out how to copy the catalog.  For both of these two catalogs, the image files will all remain where they are currently.

I would favor a second solution in your situation. Simply make a full backup before cleaning your catalog.
Not sure what happens in new versions of PSE, but making a full backup does not give you a copy of your catalog to work with, unless you also do a restore, which would of course include 2nd copies of all photos.
If the goal is to delete the original catalog once you are sure the copied catalog is ok, it is equivalent to having a backup before attempting a risky change in the catalog. If you are paranoid and don't trust a PSE backup, the only way to test it is to do a restore elsewhere. Not a bad idea (like having belt and suspenders...)
I totally agree with the dangers of having several catalogs. I think that's a good reason why Adobe provides an option to MOVE catalogs, not to DUPLICATE them, even if that's simple. The more I see posts about catalog problems, the more I think the full backup process in PSE is the best advice I can give. Users wanting to use alternative backup methods should absolutely understand how catalogs are stored and include the catalog folders paths into their backup procedure.
My only complaint about the backup process is that it does happen that a user thinks the backup is complete when it is not : missing, empty or corrupted catalog.tly file. There should be a test and confirmation process before issuing the 'restore complete' message. I don't have the problem because my backups have the dual purpose of safety and transfer to another computer : a backup is always followed by a restore.

    The workaround for this problem is to revert to IE9 or earlier, install your old PSE, then reinstall the latest IE version.

  • Missing My Folder after copy catalog

    Hi,
    We need to migrate repository and webcat from test to prod. After i copied catalog to the specific folder in BI server and uploaded repository, i am able to see the reports under Shared Folder. But all the reports under My Folder are not shown. Does anyone know why? Thanks.

    Hi guys,
    I had a very similar problem: with Catalog manager we archived all catalog, then we tried to restore the catalog to recover some missing analysis.
    In Catalog folder, under users folder i can see my files resotred (both file and .atr), but in Answer i loose "My Folders" for each users! i.e. in left panel i see only "Shared Folders".
    In OBIPS log i can read:
    "Account inconsistent -- no access to home dir- typically this occurs then a user has been deleted..."
    But i haven't delete that user.
    I tried also to create a new user, but still don't see "My Folders" for the new user.
    Also this post didn't help: http://shivabizint.wordpress.com/2011/08/26/how-to-solve-obiee-11g-authentication-failure/
    Any helps?
    Thanks.

  • I built an ad using layers saved it and then converted it to a jpeg. Now when I go into elements 11 to do anything else it will not allow to copy and paste to create a new layer. What am I missing?

    I built an ad using layers saved it and then converted it to a jpeg. Now when I go into elements 11 to do anything else it will not allow to copy and paste to create a new layer. What am I missing?

    You know that you lost the layers when you saved it as a jpeg, right? But you're saying you can't add layers to the jpeg now when it's open in the editor? Go to Image>mode and be sure it's RGB, for starters. Are all the commands in the Layer menu grayed out?

  • How do I duplicate layers & groups without automatically adding a "copy", "copy 1", "copy #" at the end of the new group?

    How do I duplicate layers & groups without automatically adding a "copy", "copy 1", "copy #" at the end of the new group?
    It's been pestering me for quite a while now, since I often work with the same elements over and over again. Its frustrating to have to change the name of each layer manually, especially if I'm copying a whole group.
    Is there a setting in Photoshop or perhaps an external script that can help fix this for me?
    Cheers,
    Qiming

    There is no way to defeat this within the program itself. Here's the workaround:
    Duplicate the file (from the Image menu).
    Drag the Group or layers from the Layers list from the duplicate to the image window of the original , while holding down Shift.
    That will make a "copyless" copy and reposition the copyed material in the exact same position it was on the original.

  • How to mass copy old rating and weightage to new appraisal documents in OSA

    Hello experts,
    As a part of annual appraisal process, we have incorporated some new logics in terms of rating calculation and elements in the same templates. But those logics are not being copied in already triggered documents whose goals/objects are approved by manager during mid year.
    Now we are planning to trigger new documents for all those employees, but can any one suggest how to copy those approved goals and objectives in new documents? As my client doesnot want to go through the goal setting process again .
    Please suggest if any BADI or ABAP program we can use for the same.
    Regards
    Tandrima

    implement a fix enhancement (HRHAP00_ENHANCE_FIX) to add the old approved elements to the new document. And tehn have value determinations (HRHAP00_VAL_DET) to fill these added elements with the correct content.

  • Installing Photoshop Elements on a new computer

    The hard drive on which my copy of Photoshop Elements 6 was installed has crashed and cannot be restored. I will receive a new computer tomorrow and wish to install the program on that. How do I deactivate the program and reactivate it on the new computer?

    There is no activation for PSE 6 unless you bought your serial number via the Buy It Now button in the trial, so you can just go ahead and install it.

  • How to copy a text element to another in sapscript

    Question
    Have a bug in the system and need to copy an existing text element to a new one.
    How do you do this.
    I have found the text elelement in tihe MAIN window - the code /E   510-C  <-- this needs to be copied to a new text element called /E    510-A.  I can cust and paste this into the text element screen  But doesn't the 510-A refer to some text created via SO10?  But then doesn't sapscript require you to use an include to get the text in there?
    HELP - 2 days from go -live here!!
    Thanks and big points to who can ever help!

    Text elements are specified with "/E".  These are different from STANDARD TEXT objects that you define in SO10 and reference with the INCLUDE statment.
    Text elements are called from the ABAP print program.  If you copy text element 510-C to 510-A, the ABAP print program has to call element 510-A to execute the statements in this section.
    Are you dealing with errors from a syntax check?

  • How to install third party plug-ins from photoshop elements 11 to new 13 in my PC win7?

    how to install third party plug-ins from photoshop elements 11 to new 13 in my PC win7?
    Thank you.

    Hi ,
    Your windows is 32 bit or 64 bit .
    If win 7 32 bit
    Just copy the plugin from PSE 11 and paste it to PSE 13 plug-in folder.
    If win 7 64
    PSE 11 and PSE 13 are installed as a 32 and 64 bit respectively , so you need to install plug-in again.
    Thanks,

  • Appropriation Request Plan Info Copy to WBS Element

    Hi,
    I understand that the Plan information specified in Appropriation Request will be copied into WBS elements specified in Measures/Assets section.
    I would like to confirm if this happens for both cases below:
    - If I put exisitng WBS element under Measures/Assets section (will this overwrite my original plan for WBS element?)
    - if I create a new project via Appropriation request, will the plan of the AR be copied to my WBS element (which means I will see updated plan if I check CJ40)?
    Thanks!

    You are allowed to have two activated installations.  If you happened to have one on this Windows 8 machine before, it is possible that the activation used for it was never deactivated (did you deactivate it before you upgraded Windows?).  Talk to Adobe support thru chat.  They might be able to resolve this with you:

  • I have copied my iTunes library onto a new computer, but when I play back the songs there seems to be random "miss" or "drop out".  No probs with old computer, just the new one.  I'm onto my third new computer - same problem.  Any suggestions please?

    I have copied my iTunes library onto a new computer, but when I play back the songs using the new computer, there seems to be random "miss" or "drop out" during play back, similar to a small scratch on a vinyl record.  Although when I play the same song over again, the "miss" occurs in a different location during the song.  No probs with old computer, just the new one.  I'm onto my third new computer - same problem.  Any suggestions please?

    You don't say which version of iTunes you are using, but the symptoms you describe have been encountered by some users with the 64-bit version of iTunes 12.1.
    There is an alternative version for 64-bit editions of Windows here:
    iTunes 12.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards)
    that seems to address the most of the playback issues that some users have been reporting with the full 64-bit version of 12.1.0.77 - including problems with Bluetooth speakers where either sound is degraded or completely absent.  The alternative installer here is the same architecture as most previous "64-bit" versions of iTunes, i.e., a 32-bit application with a 64-bit installer.  The "for older video cards" label appears to be something of a misnomer as some people have reported that this corrects problems found on current / high-spec systems.
    Some users have reported that after installing this alternative version it is necessary to adjust the "Play audio using" selection (normally to "Direct Sound" rather than "Windows Audio Session", though this may vary based on your audio hardware/drivers) in Edit > Preferences > Playback to restore glitch-free audio (one part of the reported symptoms is that the "Direct Sound" choice isn't available, usually in Windows 8).  It may also be necessary to ensure that your Bluetooth speakers are active and selected as the default audio device before you run iTunes.
    If this doesn't address the issue, you may want to think about reverting to iTunes 12.0 - see Turingtest2's notes on Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for steps needed to completely remove all installed iTunes components, and for links to the 12.0 installers.
