Fix "Folder Location" in Display

I have a 2011 iMac that I transfered all my files to from a PC.  I had to buy Photoshop Elements 8.0 in order to transfer my catalogue of 10,000 images with all the tags and albums etc into the Organizer for the mac.  I understand that once images are imported into Organizer, all file management (moving images or folders that contain images) has to occur through Organizer (unlike Picasa) otherwise the catalogue can't locate the images.
If you move images in the Finder you must then search in Organizer to Relocate the image and Reconnect them with the catalogue.  I found this out the hard way. I think that Photoshop ought to correct this to be able to move and have the catalogue find the images regardless how they are moved as file management should be able to occur either way.  However, I know that you can do file management of images within Organizer and the Catalogue by chosing Folder Location view in the Display pull down on the upper right corner.  However, there is a glitch.  After I move images from one file or Folder Location to another in the Display, the Display does not accurately show where the new images are located.  I find that some images are shown where I moved them and some in the adjacent folder.  Yet, if I check the actual location in Finder they ARE moved to the designated folder.  IE the Folder Location view does not reflect where the images actually are after you move them.  This is a big problem if you have to do file management through Organizer because Folder location doesn't accurately show where images are. 
Finally, I've played with Picasa and while I like the option for viewing ALL images chronologically like Photoshop, I also like the idea of being able to view images by the folder location.  Folder Location in Photoshop could do this, but it only displays the lowest folder of image, rather than being able to click on a folder in Folder Location and show all the images in that folder by sub folders.
Any body else have this problem with images not correctly shown where they are in Folder Location under Display or want the option how to view images?

Vlad,
You'll get much faster and better responses in the Photoshop Elements forum.  I had trouble even grasping what you're talking about.

  • Cannot display the folder. Microsoft Outlook cannot access the specified folder location.

    Hi, guys
    I cannot view delegate mailbox in Outlook. Following is my configure.
    I have two mailbox A-User and B-User
    Login Outlook as A-User, click File -> Account Settings -> Delegate Access, add B-User and give Editor permission of Inbox.
    Right click A-User's root inbox and select Properties -> Permission, select B-User and check "Folder visible".
    Login Outlook as B-User on other computer, click File -> Account Settings -> Account Settings, select B-User and click Change -> More Settings -> Advanced, add A-User.
    Now I can see a root A-User in Navigation Pane. But when I click it, it shows
    "Cannot display the folder. Microsoft Outlook cannot access the specified folder location."
    or
    "Cannot display the folder. Microsoft Outlook cannot access the specified folder location. The operation failed. An object cannot be found".
    I searched some solutions from internet, but all of them don't work. Could you give some suggestions? 
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    First, please double check if you have given the right permission to B-User on your step 2.
    In addition, we can try to give a higher permission to the B-user to check the result.
    Please feel free to post back and let me know the result.

  • PSE7 Problem with Organizer - Folder Location Display

    I keep encountering a wierd error and don't know why or how it is happening.  I like to use this view I file pictures on my hard this way and this matches those files and then I can tag, make an album, etc.  Sometimes the pictures that are in a file (on my hard drive) will for some reason (or after some event) not show up in the Folder Locations display with the same file name.  Make sense?   They will show in the file name below the folder they should be in and so on.  For example I have 400 pictures from a recent trip to Trinidad in a Trinidad 2009 folder on my hard drive.  When I had put these in to PSE7, they showed up in the catalog view in Trinidad 2009 because I made it a watch folder.  Now they show up in another folder, the one below it.  It is like every folder shifted down.  I understand they are still in the same location on my hard drive.  There seems to be some bug or error in PSE7 organizer.  Can anyone help with this?

    Folder Location view is quite buggy; see this FAQ:

    Since starting with FCP X, there has been tons of issues, now that the product actually works with the exception above, makes it impossible to share the production.  Has Apple fixed this problem.  is there a knowledge base article on this?
    On another note, One reason I have not purchased support on FCP X is because you sold a product that never worked for almost an entire year or more.   Now I can finally finish my project,  I cannot share it.....Really.  This has to be fixed now, I am loosing money as I typed this.

    Just curious, why would repairing permissions, rebooting ( rebooted 2 times already today) or creating a new user possibly fix this.
    I cannot create a new user, that is way too much work.  I will repair permissions again,  I repaired permissions just a few days ago. Then I will reboot, login and turn off App Nap and rerun the Share DVD.
    There must be something seriously wrong with the OS if your are suggesting creating another user.   WOW!

  • Why do files disappear from Display Folder Location?

    I have various folders with about 20 to 100 files in each one. I click on one of the pictures then choose Editor, Full Edit. I make a simple edit and save the file back to the same folder and name and close the file in the Editor. I return to the Organizer and display Folder Location. All the files that were in that folder are not displayed, just the one I edited. I tried various combinations of Show All Files, Add Unmanaged Files to Catalog, and Get Photos and Videos and none of them bring back the missing files. This happens repeatedly in any folder. The only thing that worked the first time this happened was to delete the entire catalog and recreate it. This however, is a lot of work. If I look at the folder from the OS point of view (XP Pro SP3) the files are in fact there and all pictures are fine. But they are not visible to the Oraganizer.
    Any ideas or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

  • Can you "lock" iTunes Media Folder location?

    One of the things I hate about iTunes is that I keep my music collection on an external hard drive with mirrored RAID array. Songs I buy are automatically transferred onto that drive. But sometimes, the hard drive will go offline, for whatever reason - a power issue, bumped by someone, whatever. When that does happen, iTunes doesn't give you a warning, it just defaults to the internal Music folders. Until you realize that the hard drive is offline, every CD you rip, every song you buy will go straight to the iTunes folder on the Mac. When you finally reconnect that hard drive, and redirect iTunes to the iTunes Media Folder on it, you're hopelessly lost, with your music collection distributed between the two drives.
    First off, WHY can't iTunes notify you that it can't find the designated iTunes Media Folder? It'll notify you about just about every single other bloody thing that happens in the computer?
    Second, is there a way to LOCK the iTunes Media Folder onto another drive, such that iTunes can't find the iTunes folder on the Mac HD?
    Third, is there an easy way to scan the library on my Mac HD and on the external HD to find out which files are missing from the external HD and need to be manually added to the library?
    ks in advance!
    Than

    Hi Jonathan, it annoyed the heck out of me too. Answers to your questions:
    No idea, it’s probably trying to be “helpful”.
    I don’t believe you can lock iTunes the way you want, but you CAN stop iTunes from running WITHOUT THE DRIVE YOU WANT I got sick of manually transferring songs when this happened to me too. In my case my library is on a network server (NAS). I wrote the following AppleScript to deal with the situation and it will work for any externally connected drive, network, USB, FireWire etc.
    So to explain the script: I’m asking Terminal to list the directory contents of the iTunes Library folder on the external drive. If it can, it makes iTunes start. If it can’t (the “on error” bit), it beeps at you and displays a dialog box that tells you it cannot start. I then save the script as an App, and give it the same icon as iTunes has, but a different name (‘iTunes Custom Launcher” for example). Then I remove iTunes from the Dock and put my custom launcher in the Dock instead. Doing this means the only odd thing you will see is that when the launcher starts iTunes, there will seem to be two iTunes icons in the Dock, but only while iTunes is running.
    — Start of script
    tell application "Terminal"
              try
                        do shell script "ls \"/Volumes/Music/iTunes Library\""
                        tell application "iTunes" to activate
              on error
      beep
                        display alert "iTunes will not start until the Network Music Library is available"
              end try
    end tell
    tell application "Terminal" to quit
    quit
    — End of script
    In order to use the script, you will need to replace the folder location of the iTunes Library. If you’re not familiar with Terminal, see what Finder says the name of the Disk (or network share) is when it is connected. Assuming your iTunes Library is called “iTunes Library”, the format of the third line of the script is:
    do shell script “ls \"/Volumes/<disk or share name>/<folder>/<sub-folder…>iTunes Library\"”
    If, like me, your iTunes Library folder is at the root of the external drive, you only need to replace <disk or share name> with the drive name and forget about the <folder>/<sub-folder…> bit. If you’re not sure what to do to the script let me know and we can do more Q&A to see exactly what you need to make the script look like.
    So, the main steps:
    Open the AppleScript Editor and copy/paste the script into the blank window
    Save the script as “iTunes Custom Launcher” and choose to save it as an Application.
    Copy/Paste the app into your Applications folder using Finder
    To give the new app the same icon as iTunes has (optional), in the Applications folder, select iTunes and copy it. Do a “Get Info" on your new app and select the little icon in the top-left of the info screen so it has a blue outline, then do command-V (paste).
    Remove iTunes from the Dock and add your new app.
    For your question 3, I would just go into the music folders of whoever logs on to your mac and manually move whatever folders for artists/albums/songs are there; it should be the last time
    Let me know if you need more help

  • No files or folders shown in Organizer Folder Location view

    Hi!
    I'm using Elements Organizer 8.0. If I select the Folder Location option from the Display menu, then I get a tree pane to left with a few folders in it: "Public", my user name, Computer, Network and Offline Media. The Computer folder in turn contains my drives. However, none of the folders can be expanded (no [+] icon) except for the mentioned Computer folder. So I can't reach any sub-folders. Furthermore, no files are ever displayed in the center pane, regardless of what folder is selected.
    I have no filters set, I have tried enabling display of hidden files (not that this should matter) and can see no further options to change.
    I did discover a sort-of partial workaround. If i right-click on a folder in the tree pane and select New Folder, then a new folder will be created in the file system, and the parent folder with suddenly be endowed with a [-] icon. If i click this to collapse the parent folder, and then click the [+] icon to expand it again, the I can suddenly see all other sub-folders in this folder. Of course, this is still worthless, since I still can't see any files.
    Probably related to this is the fact that the Watch Folders feature is broken for me. I can select any folder (this is done through a standard Windows file selection box, so navigating through the file system to select the desired folder works fine) but it seems that the organizer never finds any files regardless of what folder I choose to watch.
    Any ideas?
    /Björn Stenborg

    Display > Folder Location view will only show files (and their containing folders) if you've previously imported them into the Organizer, e.g. with File > Get Photos And Videos > From Files And Folders.  Have you imported any photos yet into your catalog?
    Note also that Folder Location view is buggy and often shows the wrong contents of folders, and with large catalogs (tens of thousands of photos), it is intolerably slow.
    Regarding File > Watch Folders, it only imports photos that are added, deleted, or modified after you've started watching a folder.

  • Working with iTunes Music Folder locations on a network drive in Vista

    I am having challenges assigning the "iTunes music folder location" to a network drive in Vista (using iTunes v.7.3). When I go to Edit/Preferences/Advanced/General, and choose change to assign the path, the Networks folder comes up, but does not display any network drives or expand out when I select it. Right clicking does let me explore the drives and see them so the ntwork is good. I did have the same problem in Windows XP, but since Windows XP created those automatic shortcuts to drives, I could assign them and that worked.
    A quick solution is to map a network drive and then select that drive, but since my computer is a notebook and off my home LAN frequently, the mapped drive really slows the boot process.
    Can't seem to find anything to change in the registry.
    Has anyone else experienced this problem and is there anyone who can offer any suggestion to smooth this issue for me?
    Thanks
    Andre

    Thanks for the feedback, but with the iPhone (I use the calendar feature a lot), synchronising just became a very common event, and perpetual re-connecting will drive me insane.
    I guess I will just live with what we have until the folks at Apple figure it out;

  • ITunes not storing files in iTunes media folder location

    A number of years ago I wanted to move my itunes media files to an external drive. At the time an article was posted that explained how to do such that. Additionally the article explained how to put the media files in one folder on the external file server and all the itunes definition files in another folder on the same external file server. It worked perfectly! All seemed well. Of course since making this change there have been many many updates to iTunes and the OS.
    Recently, I was scanning through the folders of the external file server and noticed some media files that appeared in the iTunes application listing were missing in the physical iTunes media folder (folder A). After a little searching I found the media files were in the iTunes definitions folder (folder B). Initially I thought somehow I had changed the folder location under the iTunes advanced tab. I checked it stilled pointed to the ORIGINAL folder A location. Yet iTunes had for a while as it turns out had created a whole new media folder tree and was adding the media files to that media tree (folder B). This is the folder the original only contained the iTunes definitions.
    Thinking I had made a mistake somewhere sometime ago, I copied all the media files to the proper folder (folder A) and reset the iTunes Media folder location to point to folder A. All was fine.
    Today I added some new media to the iTunes library and once again, iTunes created a new media folder tree in folder B were only the iTunes definitions are supposed to be stored. So once again I moved the media files to the proper folder.
    There is no question THIS IS A SOFTWARE BUG. It does NOT matter what folder location is specified in the Preferences->Advanced->itunes media location is specified, iTunes will either CHANGE the folder location to wherever the definitions files are located or begin putting the media files where the definitions files are located even though the iTunes media location is setting to a different folder.
    when this started I do not know. I have been using itunes for a number of years and once I had my external file server set up never had reason to check it.
    One might ask why put the media files in one location and the definition files in another location. That is because there was a time when iTunes for some reason would think it definition files were corrupted and start to do nasty things to the media library. Once I lost a number of songs it is then when I found a note in this forum that suggested putting the definitions in one folder and the media in another folder. It was great idea. Is there a work around of a fix for this bug?

    Some additional information.
    When I click the apps tab in iTunes, some of the applications listed are actually songs (the songs are also shown in the music list and point to the proper location), when I click Get Info on some of the apps, it points to a song, and some apps that actually exist in the Mobile Apps folder are shown to located in a song folder. Bottom line the apps database is corrupted.
    When I consolidated the music files I did not touch the mobile applications folder. As best I can tell all the movies and songs are fine (about 3000 items in total).
    When I export the library it does not include the apps in the xml file. So deleting the iTunes DB and re-importing the .xml will not work.
    To recap. All the songs and movies are in one folder (folder A). This is the folder listed in the Preferences->Advanced->Itunes media location. The apps folder is located in a different folder (folder B) where the iTunes definition files are located. How they got there I do not know.
    How do I fix the apps tab and have the app icons (and physical applications) to point to the proper location? Also to remove the songs listed in the apps list without removing the song from the iTunes library.

  • Remember last folder location lost with Mac Lion updates

    Since Lion or Mountain Lion, we have had an annoying problem where the last folder location is not remembered in Illustrator. For example when updating links on multiple files, would like for the folder location to return to the last one used, but this would go to some folder 3 levels higher/
    Found
    http://www.stclairsoft.com/DefaultFolderX/
    fixes this. But hoping someone else has another solution as having to buy that for each computer would get costly for somethng that used to work. Also the software seems to not have bneen updated in a long time, adn don't wnat a solution that won't last.  Am on 10.8.2.

    how about this Mike, the file opening dialog is handled by the OS, if it still does not remember, I could manually try to code it to stay in a folder.
    select a couple of images before running, to test,
    #target Illustrator
    // script.name = relinkAllSelected_v2.jsx;
    // script.description = relinks each selected placed images one at the time;
    // script.required = select at least one linked image before running;
    // script.parent = CarlosCanto // 7/12/11;  version 2 - 07/25/13
    // script.elegant = false;
    var idoc = app.activeDocument;

  • Pass Order Number Parameter to Report then Save Copy as PDF to Folder Location

    I have a 2010 database where I've created a report that I would like to be auto-printed to a PDF file.  When a user finishes and submits an order I need for my report called "rptOrders" (which displays a summary of the order) to auto-print
    in PDF and saved to an archiving folder location.
    One thing to note is that when the "rptOrders" report is opened it displays ALL the orders in the database; but I need this process to pass the parameter of the order number from the form to the report so that only the single report that is open is
    printed in PDF.
    The process of pushing the PDF report to a folder would need to be performed without prompting the users.  It needs to be automated and
    seamless.  The users are aware of this automated process will be done, they just don't have a need to have any prompts impede their workflow.
    Any solutions, thoughts or tips would be very much appreciated!

  • PSE 7 confusion about folder location, help needed

    Here's some background: I'm using PhotoShop Elements 7 on Win XP.  I have an external firewire hard drive I use for overflow/backups.  Originally, this showed up as a K: drive on my system.
    I added a RAID controller and two more drives to stripe as a single drive for temp space rendering movies.  This ended up as a K: drive and the external moved to L:  However, when I did this there were some pictures from my catalog that I had on the external drive.  I have used File > reconnect missing files to handle the moves, but PSE is still confused (very).
    PSE has started to mix up the RAID (K:) and external (L:) content.  If I move a set of pictures (e.g. a folder of them) onto the external drive (L:) via drag and drop in the folder location view, the folder will show up empty on the L: heirarchy, but will show up as a gray folder icon in the K: RAID drive hierarchy.  If I open up windows explorer, the RAID drive will appear empty.  In other cases (I'm not sure when/how yet), pictures physically end up on the RAID drive itself instead of the external.  I have uninstalled both the external drive and the RAID drive and reinstalled them both, but they are still getting confused in the folder view by PSE.  I've also tried moving content outside of PSE and just reconnecting missing files, but it still wants to put things under the K: RAID drive instead of the external L:.
    I've searched everywhere I can think of for a description of what gray folder icons in the folder location view means and can find none.  I'm not sure how to convince PSE that there's nothing on the RAID K: drive and it shouldn't try to connect the two.  Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Jim

    Thank you!  I ran psedbtool and the output shows the catalog has the wrong drive letter for the L: drive.
    Is there a way to make PSE forget about the K: and L: drives that it is so confused about so that it can relearn of their existence?  If I use the drive letter reassignment to fix PSE, it will break other apps that are now dependent on the current drive letter assignments.  I've tried removing all files from the L: drive, but it's still remembered as part of the catalog.
    Thanks,

  • Why are my artist folder located in my Itunes Media folder, not Music Folder?

    I recently got a new computer and moved my itunes library to this new one.  Everything is working fine, but itunes just reorganized my entire library.  As of a couple of days ago all my artist folders were under itunes media\music, but now all the artist folders are just in the itunes\itunes media folder.  The artist folders are mixed among my mobile application and home video and podcast folders.  There is still an itunes media\music folder and there are a couple of artist folders remaining in my music folder but they're all empty.  My preference has 'music\itunes\itunes media' as my Media Folder location under preferences and 'keep media folder organized' and copy files to itunes media folder when adding to library' are both checkmarked. Why did it move all my artist folders out of music and into my root folder and how can I get it to move all the artst folders back to the itunes media\music folder?

    nevermind  fixed it File>Library>reorganize

  • Multiple Libraries and Music Folder Locations

    I'm stumped.
    I keep three libraries on my MacBook Pro. The folder structure for where the library and xml files live is basically:

    ~\Music\iTunes\Pete
    ~\Music\iTunes\Jen
    Each library is associated with its own Music Folder, on an external hard drive, like so:
    External\Contents\Main
    External\Contents\PJP
    External\Contents\JLP
    I have iTunes manage the music files, keep things organized, and copy songs into the Music Folder.
    When I open the "Pete" library, for example (by holding down Option when I click on iTunes in the Dock), it opens fine. I do what I need to do there, and quit iTunes. Now, somewhat suddenly, when I open the "Jen" library next (again by holding down Option while launching iTunes to select that library file), the location of the Music Folder in Preferences->Advanced has been changed to the location of the last library's Music Folder. In other words, the library should be pointing to \Contents\JLP, but instead is pointing to \Contents\PJP.
    I can change the location of the Music Folder (a fairly long process), but the next time I open up a different library, the Music Folder location is similarly incorrect.
    I imagine I'm just tired and overlooking a fairly easy fix/cause of this behavior, but it escapes me and I'll be grateful for your help.
    Cheers.

    I have noticed this happen when the computer temporarily loses a link to the external drive it reverts to the locally stored music folder but reverts to the external drive when it is available again. Don't know if a similar issue is what is happening here if so it may be something to do with the refresh rate at which your computer communicates with the external drive.

  • Network Drive/Cover Art/Music Folder Location

    Hello,
    On my work PC, I have used a network drive for my iTunes music folder location. We have a 'jukebox' of sorts that multiple people can access. The connection to this drive is not so hot (i.e., it's a bit slow), but it has always been sufficient to listen to music, as the transmission rate is usually faster than the length of any given song.
    Now that 7.0 & coverart has come out, the network drive is no longer viable. The coverart stutters, and accessibility is just too painful.
    So, I have moved my music to a local drive & removed all the connections to the remote music.
    I remember reading somewhere (although I can't remember where) that iTunes now monitors more than one music folder location for changes to the contents. This is a nice feature, but I suspect it's continuing to monitor this network drive, so that even though I moved all my music, everything remains slow.
    I've done everything I can think of to try to fix this; I've uninstalled & re-installed iTunes. I've scanned the registry for instances of iTunes trying to figure out where it might store the memory of this network drive. I've deleted references to the network drive from my machine (it's not a mapped drive however; it's just a \\000.00.00.000\mp3 path). I've disconnected the network cable to see if it will 'forget'. I've deleted iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Music Library.xml, along with the Album Artwork folder, and rebuilt each of them. Nothing has worked.
    My machine was specifically built for video and graphic editing; I am positive that this is not an issue with video drivers or memory or anything like that. It has a gig of memory, a P4 hyperthreading processor, etc. There are only currently 319 tunes in my library. Sheer volume should not be slowing me down. My 3-year-old laptop at home has half the memory and 15x as many tunes, and it works flawlessly.
    So - after this longwinded explanation - I am looking for suggestions for the following:
    Am I correct in the "remembering the folders" theory? Is my machine indeed continuing to ping this network drive? If so, how can I make it stop?
    Alternatively, is there a procedure to completely wipe all traces of iTunes from my machine, short of re-installing XP? Even after uninstall there were many, many references to the application in my registry, along with the library files and such.
    My goal is to get the performance of iTunes & coverart to a reasonable level. Right now it's running like a goat, as if I had a x386 processor with 32M of RAM.
    Thanks,
    Mike

    I have resolved the problem with the slow coverflow. I had to re-install and update my nVidia driver (thought I was gonna lose the PC there for a minute...it was hairy...).
    Anyway...problem solved.
    tks for reading,
