Dates seem backwards in PSE7 organizer

In organizer, some files show up with a "modified" date that preceeds the "created" date. In such instances, it shows the "modified" date and time as the same as when the picture was taken. Yet the "created" date could be a day later. How can you modify a file if it has not been created yet?

  • Sharing PSE7 Organizer keywords with Bridge?

    I want to share my existing PSE7 Organizer keywords with Bridge. I searched the forums and found an some answers to use PSE7's "File/Write Keyword Tag and Properties Info to Photo" menu option. I did some tests with that option, and it appears to only do what I'll refer to as "additive writes," meaning it will add keywords in PSE7 Organizer for a particular photo, but it will not remove any keywords which are presently in the photo file but not in Organizer's informaton for the same photo file.
    I'm guessing this is the case because PSE7 Organizer cannot assume the keyboard already in the file originally came from Organizer itself, or that the user (regardless of where an existing keyword came from) wants to remove a keyword if it's not in Organizer for the same file. It would be nice if there were a preferences option which one could select such as "Replace all keywords when writing to file" so that a user like myself could make Organizer's keywords the main keywords.
    Does anyone happen to know if I understand this correctly, or is there a way to remove a PSE7 Organizer-written keyword from a file (based on its non-existence in PSE7 Organizer for the same file)?
    If there is no way around this, I'm wondering if it may be better to do things the Bridge-way (which seems more like the general standard) since it seems to always keep the current info in the file, so the state is always with the file itself. Even if some features are missing, it may be better than dealing with this sort of PSE7-only feature. Any comments on this would be great to hear.
    Thanks for any insight on this,
    Tom

    Okay, that makes sense on the Albums. I wasn't aware that Albums were ordered.
    I was using Bridge some more after my post yesterday, and I was seeing that with PSE7, both Albums and Keyword items seem more readily accessible regardless of location of the items (photo files) because there isn't an extensive file system search required since the DB provides a quick search (assuming first-searches and no pre-existing caching in Bridge).
    I started testing Collections with Bridge, and realized that it was sort-of doing that. This is another aspect of Bridge which is sort of a "db" aspect of Bridge in that it requires the browser to persist data seperate from the photo file. .
    What can be a little frustrating about any browser-persisted informaton (such as that for Collections) is to not find anything in the docs about how to ensure one gets a good backup of that info. PSE7 does a great job of providing a feature to do just that. Recall this is one thing I really liked about PSE7 when I was unaware of the benefits of Bridge's "minimalist db" approach (where a "db" in Bridge is anything persisted by itself such as Collections).
    The "how to" backup app-persisted information (aside from docs a user saves, where the user knows the location) is a must for any pro-am or pro person, if not an end user. People don't want information that is key to something they're building over time to be persisted in some mysterious unknown location. I couldn't find what I wanted in Bridge docs, so I did my own hunting, and found Bridge Collection information hiding in "%APPDATA%\Adobe\Bridge CS4\Collections" (i.e., c:\Users\<user_name>\Roaming\Adobe\Bridge CS4\Collections" on my laptop) in files named "<collection_name>.filelist". But even with that info, I, as a user, would still have to test to ensure I could get a backup good enough for disaster recovery / restoration. I'm a relatively technical user so I cannot imagine what "Dad" or "Mom" would do. This sort of thing is bothersome only because it's remedied with at least a small paragraph in the docs. What would it take to say "Backing Up Bridge Information: If you have a backup program which backs up the "%APPDATA%\Adobe\Bridge CS4" you will have all necessary data to restore the information that Bridge maintains. You must ensure you backup your photo files..." etc. etc. Without that, I have to do a bunch of hunting and testing. 
    All that said, I see how Collections, maintained by Bridge, offer some of that PSE7 power where you don't have to search for files in various locations to find what is already noted in a central Bridge file or "db" such as a Collection for which Bridge has a list of files in the Collection itself. (If Collections could contain other Collections, that would be a nice touch. I didn't see that ability.)
    What I still like about Bridge's approach is that while Albums don't exist, and while Collections are hierarchical, there's a feeling that Bridge is not taking things over where you are forced to use that app. It persists some items relating to its organizational features, but keeps the rest of the info right in the photo file. Still a nice balance. Another nice thing about this minimalist approach is that there's no importing per se. Everything is browseable/maintainable since the file system is the photo db.
    All that said, I can see where PSE7 does things for the non-power user such that they can just use, say, an Album, which has a familiar name, and behaves like an Album with ordering and whatnot. A user like me doesn't need that since I can use tools to create an Album like effect, so the Bridge approach wins since I can fend for myself in areas were I don't see PSE7 to hand hold.

  • Bizarre problem trying to import .MTS (AVCHD) files into PSE7 Organizer

    Hi
    b Summary of problem:
    *I recently upgraded to PSE 7 / PRE 7
    *I am trying to import .MTS (AVCHD) files into the PSE7 Organizer
    *I get a "...did not contain any supported file types..." error on attempted import
    b HOWEVER...
    *I can edit same footage in PRE7
    *This footage is automatically added to the Organizer
    *I can play this footage in the PSE7 organizer but generating thumbnails takes ages
    *Camera: Sony HDR SR12 producing .MTS files (full 1920x1080i HD)
    *PC: Intel Core i7 940 CPU, 6GB RAM, RADEON HD 4870 512MB
    *OS: Vista 64 bit
    b Detail:
    I have recently upgraded my PRE/PSE bundle to ver 7 primarily because the new version of PRE boasts support for AVCHD.
    Having installed the new software I quickly tried editing footage in PRE7 with video taken on my Sony HDR SR12 camera (footage taken in full 1920x1080i HD) and it works! Hoorah! I can now finally edit AVCHD footage in it's native format using PRE. Thank you Adobe!
    But my joy was very shortlived because when I tried to import some other footage from the same batch into my PSE7 Video Catalog it wouldn't work. I got a pop up box containing the following error:
    i "Nothing was imported. The file(s) or folder(s) selected to import did not contain any supported file types, or the files are already in the catalog."
    Under this message is a list of the files that I tried to import. Next to each one there is a reason (it's the same reason for each clip):
    i "Reason: The file is damaged or is a format that cannot be included in the Organizer."
    To import files I use the following method: File / Get Photos and Videos / From Files and Folders
    HOWEVER, the files that I imported directly into PRE7 in order to edit them have (surprise, surprise!) automatically been added PSE7 Organizer's Catalog. It takes a quite a while to generate a thumbnail for each clip but it does eventually do it and when it does I can play that footage in PSE7.
    Just in case you're confused by this stage... If I try and manually add files to the PSE7 Organizer it doesn't work BUT if I edit that footage in PRE7 and then load the PSE7 Organizer I see the footage has been automatically added. This makes no sense whatsoever!
    Am I doing something really stupid here? Why oh why will the PSE7 Organizer not import .MTS (AVCHD) files?!
    NB: While searching for a solution to this problem I have, thanks to this Forum, found out about the K-Lite Codec Pack. I downloaded and installed the Basic pack v4.4.5 and now I can, at least, play my .MTS video files in Windows Media Player... I wish I had found out about that a couple of months ago because it would have saved me from buying Cyberlink PowerDVD 8!
    Please someone help before I lose the plot.
    Thanks
    Patrick
    b PC: Intel Core i7 940 CPU, 6GB RAM, RADEON HD 4870 512MB, Vista 64 bit
    b Camera: Sony HDR SR12 producing .MTS files (footage in full 1920x1080i HD)

    Hi
    I'd just like to add an update to this post.
    b Summary:
    *K-Lite Codec Pack clashes with Sony's Picture Motion Browser (PMB) software
    *Analysis of video in Sony's PMB is well worth doing!
    *You can Drag and Drop clips from Sony's PMB into PRE7
    b Detail:
    As you've probably gathered I have now settled on using Sony's Picture Motion Browser (PMB) to Catalog all my video. Sorry Adobe to talk about someone elses product but the Adobe Organizer just can't cope with AVCHD footage no matter how you manage to import it! It's far too sluggish and my PC has an Intel Core i7 940 CPU with 6GB RAM and a 10,000 RPM HDD!
    Anyway, in my first post you'll have read me raving about the K-Lite Codec Pack but sadly I've had to uninstall it because it kept on causing PMB to crash. PMB runs much smoother and quicker WITHOUT that codec pack. Something about it clashed with PMB. The once agile PMB became sluggish and unresponsive.
    Having now removed the codec pack PMB is back to being agile and generaly lovely.
    To view AVCHD footage outside of PMB I have reverted to using Cyberlink's PowerDVD 8 - there's always a pregnant pause between double-clicking on the clip and it playing but that's the only drawback.
    If you are going to use Sony's PMB for cataloging your video collection (and I recommend you do so BUT only if you have AVCHD footage - otherwise stick to Adobe's Organiser) then I can fully recommend "Analyzing" all of your footage. This takes time and a bit of patience because it kept stopping for no apparent reason but would readily start up again (without having to do anything else) BUT once it's done it'll reward you with the following:
    *Filter on any combination of Scenery, People, Smiles - e.g. with a click of a button you can isolate footage that contains smiles, etc
    *Face Search - if you select some or all of the footage in the right-hand pane it will then put a small thumbnail for all of the different faces in that selected footage in the bottom "Face Search" pane. If you then click on one of those thumbnails it will jump to the clip(s) that contain that face and grey out all the other clips
    *Expand Videos - This tool is brilliant! In normal viewing mode you get a thumbnail of the video whether you're in Folder view, Calender view or Detail List view. If, however, you select "Expand Videos" from the tool bar it will show you a series of frames contained within that clip. You can choose from "Highlights" or various regular intervals (5 secs, 10 sec, 30 sec, 1 min, etc). The Highlights option does a pretty good job of picking out the significant changes within the clip
    Lastly, I have discovered that you can drag a clip from Sony's PMB into PRE7. It won't let you put it directly onto the Timeline but it will let you drop it into the Project file list (found under the Edit tab).
    I do hope that this info has helped others like me who are trying to get to grips with editing and cataloging AVCHD footage.

    Please reply me.
    Thanks.

    Dear Jong,
    1) what is the parameter used in MRP run, Basic scheduling or lead time scheduling
    2) you must find a exception Mssg for that plan order in MD04
    3) basic scheduling take the time from material master & lead time scheduling will take time

    Hello, I got a new computer with the old harddisk. Can't play my itunes music because not authorised. Apple ID is very old e-mail adress that doesn't exist anymore and I forgot the password (5 years old??). When chose for secret question birth date seems wrong. Tried everything. I need to make a new apple-id but cannot connect the music that I bought under my old name to my new name. Can't reach anyone!!! Automatic FAQ system is of no help. What to do?

    That doesn't help me. For itunes it brings me to the express lane which doesn't help because my case is not in it. It's all standard procedure things. I understand those but my situation is different. The combination of a passport forgotten and an non-existing email adress (and birth dates that are not correct or not accepted). What I need is my password emailed to another email adress than the original one because that no longer exists.

  • Upgraded to Elements 11 from 9.  Form windows 7 to MacOS.  Events and dates seem to have been lost

    After importing catalog, events and dates seem to have been lost.  People tags imported OK.  Thoughts?

    Same issue.  I have multiple ATV2 and ATV3 - none could access home sharing after updating to 11.1.
    I've learned my lesson from previous iTunes updates, so I always have a backup of my library.  So I uninstalled 11.1 and deleted every iTunes folder I could find on my drive (important because I didn't do this the first time, and home sharing did not work).  Then I restored my library from backup (iTunes folder), and installed iTunes 11.0.5.  Home sharing works, with:
    ATV3 with updates
    ATV2 with updates
    ATV3 without updates
    ATV2 without updates (not tested yet)
    Yea, so something is wrong with iTunes 11.1 with home sharing.  Hopefully Apple will address.  If not, hopefully they will support 11.1 for a very long time.

  • PSE7 Organizer does not start properly, screen flashes, PC stops

    Hello. I can't find this problem mentioned on the forum.
    I've used PSE4 and 5 in the past without problems. Have just completed a clean install of PSE7 (no PS or PSE previously installed on this system, a ThinkPad T60 with 2MB). The Editor runs fine.
    I ran the Organizer once, set some preferences, pointed it at a small number of images to import, then the whole screen started flashing and soon my system stopped in its tracks - no blue screen.
    Now, when I try and start the Organizer, it spends maybe half a minute "Generating thumbnails" without success (all the thumbnails have egg timers on them). It uses 50% CPU. It still says "Generating thumbnails" after half a minute or so when the screen starts flashing and the system crashes again.
    Any ideas?

    Fixed. Thank you John.
    I renamed the preferences file but that made no difference.
    So I repaired the catalog (errors were found) and optimized it. When I started the Organizer, thumbnails were displayed (that's progress) but then the screen-flashing started again (whole screen, as usual, not just the Organizer window). Before I could close the Organizer, my system stopped with a blank, black screen, and no response to any input. I had to hold the power button to power down. On reboot, it blue-screened. On next reboot it started normally.
    So I created a new catalog and the Organizer started fine. Then I set it off getting photos from a folder of folders of jpegs (with the odd txt and other file type). After a few seconds, the screen-flashing started again, and I quickly closed the Organizer.
    When I restarted it, the catalog was empty, so I had it get just one folder of photos at a time. On the very last one, the problem started again. I found an AVI file that I'd overlooked, removed it, and the problem went away. The AVI was one I recorded on a digital compact.
    The Help for Organizer says:
    "The Organizer catalogs video AVI files properly, but audio AVI files are shown as broken video thumbnail icons. However, they will play correctly."
    Hmmm...doesn't seem to be the case for me. Even if AVIs were unsupported or known to cause problems, I would never expect to see the symptoms I did.
    Hopefully my experience will help others. Incidentally, I run XP Pro SP3, fully updated.

  • Calculation of start date with backward scheduling

    Dear all,
    I am facing an issue related to backward scheduling. I have requirement in which whenever backward scheduling is used, system should calculate from last activity to first for calculation of schedules which is fine. But when running scheduling i am giving finish date as input and system is always using start date as current date and not calculation last date from last. For example if i input finish date as 15 feb 2015, and there is only one activity of 15 days, system should count start date from 1 feb 2015. Please help me how i can achieve this, currently its always putting start date as current date.
    My current settings are--
    Project definition-  WBS Scheduling profile-  Backward scheduling
                                  scheduling scenario-  Free scheduling
    Network-      Planning type- basic dates
                        Scheduling type- Backward
    Please help.
    Thanks

    Dear all, this issue is resloved. Reason was that by default i am using forward scheduling for all project but in case of backward scheduling, user change schedule type at project definition and network. I was removing start date and putting finish date and running scheduling. Missing step from my side was i need to first copy date from top to down than run scheduling again.
    Thanks.

  • How do you change the date under 130 images in organizer?

    These images were taken in one location same day on 9/30/2009. The organizer has them grouped as 9/20/2009. I am pretty sure the answer is easy but; I have read 3 publication on PSE 7 and can't find the fix. Camera used shows the correct date.

    In the Organizer, select the 130 images and do Edit > Adjust Date And Time > Shift To New Starting Date And Time.

  • Basic finish date earlier than basic start date while backward scheduling

    I am encountering an issue where in when I am selecting backward scheduling for a process order and I am entering the Basic finish date, afte which system is giving me a Basic startdate which is after the basic finish date.
    For eg:- When i give the basic finish date as 08.12.2011, system is giving me basic start date as 09.12.2011
    I have checked the recipe of the material. In the recipe one major flaw that i found out was that all the activity timings were maintained as 0. But when i created a similar scenario in the testing client, i am not getting the issue.
    Please help.

    Hi,
    Check what is maintawined in number of days the start day is allowed to be in the past in scheduling parameters of the order type, in OPU3. If there is an opening float defined in schedule margin key of the order, and concerning this float backward scheduling finds a start date which falls into past, lead time scheduling will automatically switch to forward scheduling starting from today. 9.12.2011 could have been deducted this way. Also check the factory calendar if days upto 9.12.2011 are defined as working days.
    Regards.

  • Not supported file format in PSE7 organizer

    Hi,
    I'm facing the a problem with a Nikon D40x: the downloader tool in PSE7 is not working with my camera (in contrast to the PSE5 one). It does not recognize the file format of the .NEF files stored on the SD-card. This hold true also for the organizer: it is not possible to import photos lying on the harddisk into the organizer (invalid file type). the open dialog does not shop those files as media files. Only in the 'all files' view they are visible but not loadable. Surprisingly it is possible to edit those photos with the PSE7 editor, works smoothly.
    The Nikon fix kb407110 did not work for me. I also uninstalled PSE5: no change at all.
    Has somebody achieved to find a solution for this problem?
