How to Create, Save and Restore a Custom Catalog in PE 6?

I am having great difficulty in trying to create a custom catalog using the organizer function of PE 6. Upon opening the organizer I have many photos already depicted in it. So, I highlight them all and delete them obtaining a blank screen with no photos. I then import the file containing only the custom photos I want to catalog. I then backup this catalog using the following procedure http://www.backuphowto.info/how-to-backup-adobe-photoshop-elements-6-catalogue Everything looks fine until I try to restore it at a future time. It doesn't restore! In fact I can browse to the saved file but am unable to get the locate backup file location to change to it??
What am I doing wrong and can anyone help me acheive my objective of creating a custom catalog that I can save and retrieve intact for later use?
Thanks, in advance, for any help provided. Oh, and I need to add I am relatively new to PE 6 having only previously used PE 4 and never used the organizer in it which is to say - lead me very simply please.

I can't imagine the purpose of a "custom catalog". Seems to me you have done a lot of work when I am 100% sure there is an easier way to do whatever it is you are trying to accomplish. Further, it seems like you are trying to create a backup of only some of your photos, and I can't imagine the purpose of that either ... I would presume you would want to make backups of your entire collection of photos.
Just as a general rule, there usually isn't a good reason to have more than one catalog (unless you have separate categories of photos, like personal and work).
Everything looks fine until I try to restore it at a future time. It doesn't restore!
Can you give us a detail or two about what happens when "it doesn't restore"? Can you give us more details about what you actually did? And most importantly, can you describe what you see on the screeN? Screen captures would be even better.

How Do I save and restore keywords, categories and tags in PE6?

I have my photos backed up on an external hard drive, but if and when my hard drive crashes, how do I get back the tags, keywords, categories, etc. that I have used in the PE 6 Organizer? Can I save them and, if so, when I need to restore this, how do I do that? How do I reconnect tags, categories, keywords, etc. with photos that I re-import after a hard drive crash?

John: Many thanks for this help. I use CS3, but my mom has PE6 and I'm trying to help her. I'm not as familiar with PE6.
Again, thanks,

Subject: How Do I save and restore keywords, categories and tags in PE6?
PSE keeps your keywords, categories, albums, stacks, version sets, captions, notes, dates, and star ratings in a file in a "catalog folder". (Do Help > System Info to find the location of your catalog folder). When you make a backup with the PSE File > Backup command, it copies all your photos and the catalog file into the backup. When you restore from that backup, it copies that catalog file and all your photos to the location you specify.

How can I save and restore a Screen ?

Hi all,
I'd like to know how could I save an entire screen or part of it and restore it later.
I have an application using full-screen mode and I draw every component that I need. So, there are times when I draw a component just to show a message and after I need the screen as it was before I draw the message.
I'm not working with Swing components. It's not a "typical" application, because every component that is showed I really draw it. So I don't have events and repaint is controlled by my application.
That's why I need to save the Screen before show a dialog box, for example, and then restore the screen, making the box disappear.
thanks !

It's a very long, long history. Believe me.
In theory, I really could use normal components, but in practice, I will get a better final result, even if it will cost some extra work.
I've been reading about BufferedImage, VolatileImage and so on, but I didn't concatenated the ideas yet, or didn't read so much as necessary.
So... my question is still in the air ! :-))
Thank you Rich.

How do I save and recall a custom search in 10.5?

In 10.4 I could hit command+F then make a custom search that I could place in my sidebar and revisit later by clicking and then clicking "edit." I find I can't do that now in 10.5. What I'd like to do is set up a custom finder search for sound effects that does the following:
• Searches only two specific drives (you used to be able to add or subtract locations to search, now you only have "This Mac" or your username, you can't add locations!)
• Has two "name" fields and one "Kind" is "Audio"
• Can be recalled.
Thanks in advance for any help

The functionality for searching multiple different places was removed in Leopard. It can still be done, but it isn't easy, you have to edit the saved smart search file. I saved one and edited it so that it searches both my startup drive and my data drive, and only those drives/partitions, but I have not bothered to configure another like that, too much trouble.
For a more normal sort of user the best bet is to create two smart seaches, one for each drive you wish to search--open the drive, hit Command-F then click the drive name rather than the idiotic default of This Mac, do the same for the other drive, configure the search for each drive and save. When you want to use the searches you would open two Finder windows and click the first smart search in the sidebar of window one and the second smart search in window two.
While you must fill something in the search terms box, you can do something that will return almost no results, for instance "Name:matches:xyz" and save. When you bring the saved search up, click the Gear/Action item in the window's toolbar, then select "Show Search Criteria"--the fields you had when you saved it will then display and you can edit them.
You might find my article on Leopard's Spotlight useful:
http://www.pinkmutant.com/articles/Leopard/leospot.html
Be sure to click the link in the article to see even more detailed examples. Oh, and be sure to tell Apple exactly how unhappy you are with the disimprovements to Spotlight's usefulness:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
The more people who make Apple aware of just how miserable the current GUI is, the more likely the next one will be improved.

Have to deinstall/reinstall: how do I save and restore Bridge thumbnails and metadata?

My hard drive is failing. I am having it replaced. I will then be installing Windows 7 and applications including CS5.5. In addition to the thumbnails, I have a lot of metadata, keywords, collections, and stacks etc. in Bridge and I hope I do not have to lose it all and start from scratch. I had been using a disk image backup system which would have allowed me to restore the entire contents of the drive bit for bit, but the backups started to fail when the hard drive began to fail. So I have to back up or copy specific folders. Does anyone know how I should go about this?

Metadata and keywords are stored in the files themselves.
Don't know about Stacks.
Collections, keyword lists and workspaces are stored in c:\Users\<your name>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Bridge version\

I must be missing something...is there a video that teaches how to create, save and open a session?

I just don't seem to get it. Opening an old session seems difficult if you can't remember the specific name. Files in those sessions are not saved it seems unless you save each one individually. (Am I wrong here) Can someone help this early morning radio guy...I must be missing a step but I can't figure it out.

I have that problem sometimes, too. Personally I put it down to my age!

Audition won't let you close a session with unsaved files without putting up a warning about it - and you get an option to save all of them. By default, files get put in the {session name}_Recorded file with the sesx file (the session information) in the root folder. In there as well you can get Bounced file folders, and also one for mixdowns. When you first create a session, you get to choose the path you use, and everything else just occurs in a structure beneath that, which you can add to if you want. Whenever you need to save things, you get a browse option as well - worth using that first.
I really don't think it's that difficult, and the new scheme (yes it's not quite like the previous version) seems to work fine. With the best will in the world, Adobe can't compensate for anybody's amnesia though! Since there isn't a particular limit on what name you give your sessions, then the best thing to do if you're likely to forget is to give them longer, more meaningful names - and make sure that the folder they're in has the same name. Also, try to keep a relatively flat folder structure - in other words, don't have them nested several layers deep in a huge tree structure - that never helps.

How do I save and restore Session?

Is it possible to have a user leave the site for a period of
time, say 2 or 3 days, and when they come back, restore their last
session and all the session variables? I have an idea of building a
database and writing them all to the db on each page load with the
last visited page, and then resetting from that on their next
visit, but is there an easier way through Cold Fusion that I'm not
aware of? Any assistance is apprecaited.

I had a client that had hundreds of session variables
scattered in hundreds of CF pages. There was very little CFLOCKing,
and consequently the apps were quite unstable in a loaded
environment.
What I finally did was to copy the session scope variables to
ses.request scope variables of the same name, then did a global
replace of session. with ses.request. In OnRequestEnd.cfm, and
immediately before all CFLOCATIONs, I copied ths ses.request scope
back to session scope (locked, of course). There was no measurable
performance hit, and the apps were rock solid.
Perhaps you could copy your client variables to session
scope; then back again in OnRequestEnd.cfm

How do I save and re-use a fillable form once I have created it? It is a form i will use for multiple medcial clients I see, then print out and put in paper chart, and then do it again for another patient. - I just got Acrobat XI

I've created a fillable form from a Word document, but how do I save and re-use a a fillable form once I have created it? It is a form I will use for multiple medical patients, printing out the filled in form to put in paper chart (no need to save filled out form), and then fill blank form again for another patient? - I just got acrobat X

Thanks!
That should also save the blank form for future re-use, right.?
Can I also file the blank form in the file system, and then retrieve it as a blank form when I have a next patient need for it?
Thanks

How do I save and import my bookmarks from another hard drive? When I try to open the installed Firefox on the old drive, it (obviously) opens a browser from the new main drive, free of bookmarks. Is there a way I can save the bookmarks on the old drive w

How do I save and import my bookmarks from another hard drive? When I try to open the installed Firefox on the old drive, it (obviously) opens a browser from the new main drive, free of bookmarks. Is there a way I can save the bookmarks on the old drive without opening a browser?
The guts of my computer were rearranged and I got a new main hard drive. My old one is still in there and I can get stuff from it, but when I go to the Mozilla folder on the old one, I can't figure out if there's anything I can do to get all my bookmarks from that drive to my new one, where Firefox is newly installed.

If you open Firefox then Firefox will always use the default profile folder as found via profiles.ini on your system drive.
You either need to import the file in your current default profile or copy the file to your current profile folder while Firefox is closed.
Firefox 3 stores the bookmarks and the browser history in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/places.sqlite places.sqlite] and no longer creates an HTML backup by default.
There are also (five) JSON backups in the bookmarkbackups folder within the Firefox profile folder.
You can either copy the file places.sqlite to your [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] or import the most recent JSON backup from the bookmarkbackups folder of that old profile.
See:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Backing_up_and_restoring_bookmarks_-_Firefox
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
"Application Data" in XP/Win2K and "AppData" in Vista/Windows 7 are hidden folders.
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders
Go to: Control Panel > Folder Options > "View" tab > under "Hidden files and folders", select "Show hidden files and folders".
You may want to un-check the box "Hide extensions for known file types" to see the file extensions of all files.

Hi,
Here is the steps to creat a JNDI lookup using Datasource for MSSQL Server. Follow this and use necessary oracle parameters (in bold) as gives by me in the help link above.
Click DataSources in the same path i.e. server > services > JDBC connector
Click new driver or datasource.
Enter/ Set the following properties:
Main Tab
DataSource Name : KAAR_DS
Add Alias : KAAR
SRI
Driver Name : KaarSQLDriver
JDBC version :2.0 (with XA support)
<b>Object factory : com.microsoft.jdbcx.sqlserver.SQLServerDataSourceFactory
DataSource Type : ConnectionPoolDataSource
CPDS classname : com.microsoft.jdbcx.sqlserver.SQLServerDataSource</b>
Additional tab
Add the following properties (key-value):
serverName = localhost
databaseName = KA4
portNumber = 1433
user = CV
password =<password>
Save and restart J2EE. The datasource is now ready to use.
Connection Pooling
Initial connection : 0
Maximum connection : 100
Maximum time to wait for connection : 60
Default connection isolation : DEFAULT
SQL Engine
Select, Vendor SQL
DB Initialization Tab
Add a valid sql statement, and execute. If it is successfully executed, a popup window comes up saying Executing <sql query> . OK.
It is done. Now you can use the JNDI look up name in your coding to access the database. Get connection and use the queries to fetch data from db.
