I lost the edits of photos ; moved files in Windows Explorer

Hello, I lost the edits of photos because I moved files/folder in Windows Explorer, also renamed a few.
I have a backup of the old (valid) catalog and of the old file structure/ filenames that I made with robocopy.
But I dont know how to get this "old version" in my actual catalog. I did not use xmp-files.
When exchanging the actual catalog with the old one and copying the files from backup to the original place, I have the edits backup. But on this state all my "newer" edits are gone. Logically...
Can you help me?

I have the same issue. I searched and finally got only one answer is -- Apple suggest customer using iMAC to transfer and backup photos instead of Windows. How great the solution is it!

Showing the music properties of .M4A files in Windows Explorer

Dear All,
You probably noticed that Windows Vista does not provide much information or integration for Apple's .m4a music files.
Would you like to see the music file properties for .m4a files in the columns and details pane of Windows Explorer? Would you like to see the Album Artwork in Windows Explorer? Would you like Windows to provide indexing and searching on your .m4a music files?
If so, then I have written a "Shell Extension" (add in) for Microsoft Windows Vista Explorer that does just that. See http://www.whitebear.ch/music for more details.

Yeah, I've heard that too, but I'm not buying that excuse:
It's not MicroSoft's responsibility for making someone's thumbnails work. MS provides the documentation (I assume) for developers to write code for a DLL to display thumbnails in Windows Explorer. It's up to the developer to do it.
Other software programs which use a proprietary image format do supply those DLLs. Three examples that I use on my PC are:
    a. Corel's CorelDraw and PhotoPaint install the appropriate shell DLLs to display their native files as thumbnails.
    b. Xara also provides a 64-bit DLL which, when manually registered, displays their native file format as thumbnails.
    c. The open-source Paint.Net group registers the DLL to display their native format as thumbnails.
God knows that those three, and especially the Paint.Net group, don't have the hundreds of millions of dollars and hundreds of developers that Adobe does, yet those three chose to do the right thing and provide what I consider to be an essential feature.
Apparently this has been going on for a long time -- certainly long enough for Adobe to write the darned code, if only Adobe had the will to do it.
PSE9 is the only Adobe product I currently have purchased and this issue just sticks in my craw. Other than that, I've got nothing but praise for the program.

Photoshop CS6 updated and lost the ability to open DICOM files

My photoshop CS6 updated and I lost the ability to pen DICOM files (dcm file extension). any help on how to get it back? or should I just uninstall and re-install the entire program?

That certainly sounds like bogus software. I'd get rid of it (and do a clean reformat/reinstall of everything in case it has planted some malware in your system).

Programming help - how to get the read-only state of PDF file is windows explorer preview is ON?

Programming help - how to get the read-only state of PDF file is windows explorer preview is ON?
I'm developing an application where a file is need to be saved as pdf. But, if there is already a pdf file with same name in the specified directory, I wish to overwrite it. And in the overwrite case, read-only files should not be overwritten. If the duplicate(old) file is opened in windows (Win7) explorer preview, it is write protected. So, it should not be overwritten. I tried to get the '
FILE_ATTRIBUTE_READONLY' using MS API 'GetFileAttributes', but it didn't succeed. How Adobe marks the file as read-only for preview? Do I need to check some other attribute of the file?
Thanks!

Divya - I have done it in the past following these documents. Please read it and try it it will work.
Please read it in the following order since both are a continuation documents for the same purpose (it also contains how to change colors of row dynamically but I didnt do that part I just did the read_only part as your requirement)

I'm in iPhone 5. I transfer photos to a Windows 7 PC, using the USB cable. Lately, the photos are appearing in Windows Explorer within monthly folders, with gibberish titles. The folder names will be 8 random letters and numeric characters. I tend to let photos build up, so there are about 2 years worth of these monthly folders… Between 20 and 25. This is a huge hassle… I'm unable to tell what months are in each folder, by the folder name.… Have to open each folder to see which month is in there. I want to be able to look at all the photos on the iPhone in one view, as I was able to in the past. How do I stop this foldering of photos, by months?? Thank you. BC

What happened to "combine files" thru Windows Explorer in the latest upgrade?

I'm running Adobe Acrobat X - 10.0.2. Until I did an upgrade a few days ago, you could selct multiple PDF files in Windows Explorer and then do a right-click and select "Combine Files in Acrobat" (or something like that). Now that options has been removed? What gives?

It's a known issue. See this post for a fix.

PSD files in Windows Explorer

I've used Photoshop Elements 2 for a few years and have recently upgraded to Photoshop Elements 4. I am sure I remember being able to view thumbnails of .psd files in Windows Explorer when I was using PSE2. However, now with PSE4, when I select thumbnails in the View menu, all my .psd files show up as a PSE icon (camera). Is there anything I can do either in Windows XP, Windows Explorer or PSE4 to allow me to see my .psd files as thumbnails?

Stuart,
It is the famous story of Adobe leaving the 'psicon.dll' file out of
Elements, starting actually with PSE3. In my experience, reinstalling PSE2
does not seem to work. I never uninstalled it and still lost the
thumbnails. So I went through all the motions manually to get them back.
Take a look at the following thread, which will link you to yet another one
and read it all. There is supposed to be some risk in using psicon, but I
never had a problem.

I cannot open a pdf file with aol e-mail. I went to preferences in Adobe Reader but did not know what to enter for Incoming IMAP and outgoing SMTP. I can open pdf files from windows explorer as I have associated .pdf files with adobe reader. My operating system is windows 7.

Can't open PDF files from Windows Explorer on Windows 8.1

Hello,
after I've upgraded to Windows 8.1, I can't open PDF files from Windows Explorer (directly double clicking the file). The AcroRd32.exe runs in the background (2x !) as I see the processes in task manager, but there is no user interface visible. I have Acrobat
Reader 11.0.06, the desktop version (not Metro). I tried uninstalling the Acrobat reader and installing it again but this didn't help. The only way to open PDF files is to close the AcroRd32.exe from the task manager, open empty Acrobat Reader from the desktop
and then drag&drop the PDF file over that window. This is quite inconvenient. Is there a way to fix this issue so I can open PDF files directly from windows explorer?
Many thanks!

I had to install adobe reader, but PDF's used to display just fine with IE, any idea what happened ?
Windows 8.1 pro.
thx

Bizarre error when trying to open .fla files in Windows Explorer

"Windows cannot find '(path of the .fla file INCLUDING the filename)'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search." error message given when I click on any .fla file in Windows Explorer to open it in Flash 8 Pro (as I've ALWAYS done before). Flash opens but no file is opened in it. If I click the fla file a second time THEN it opens in Flash (which is already opened from the first attempt.). This never happened before. I have 2 more laptops that work fine (as did THIS Win XP-SP3 pc until about a week ago), ALL with Flash 8 Pro (1 laptop w/XP-SP3 - just like the main PC with the new 'problem'), 1 laptop w/Vista Ultimate SP2. Even compared registry entries from XP laptop side-by-side - no differences at all. Everything is literally 'word-for-word'. Also compared FileMap.xml - no differences. Reinstalled Flash (no success) then out of frustration reinstalled XP with full disk format (and then everything else all over again - took 3 days) - still no success. Files open from the Flash 'File\Open' menu no problem - just not from Windows Explorer anymore. Nothing is different than before (when everything was ok - same installed programs, apps, updates, exact same 'set-up' as far as Windows drivers, system settings, prefs etc goes. VERY bizarre!

As you know Flash 8 was a Macromedia product. They don't exist anymore - being absorbed by the all powerful, all seeing, all knowing Adobe Systems (sort of reminds me of the BORG on Star Trek - you know 'Resistance is futile').
I tried literally everything - to no avail. Since I did try everything - up to and including a complete HDD full format and OS reinstall (which only accomplished deleting several days of my life that I'll never get back) I have come to the conclusion that it must be something inherent in the program that only affects installations performed after 12/31/12.
My 2 laptops have no issues because the program has been on them for years and has never been reinstalled, but I would be willing to bet if I had to reinstall it on them I would start getting the same problem (since it's now past 12/31/12).
On 12/31/12 Adobe did something in a way 'similar' to CS2 owners by rendering the activation of CS2 products inoperative. I found this out the hard way after I had just reinstalled everything while trying to deal with this issue. I had to spend hours on the phone to finally get the news from 'Dave' in Indonesia that Adobe decided to just arbitrarily render their CS2 customers paid-for software obsolete and inoperative! (Out of fairness they DID provide 'replacement' apps that don't require activation - thus avoiding MEGA lawsuits).
Anyway - I'm just saying that software makers can build anything into their product, including date specific limitations without the consumer ever being aware of it.
With the exception of this issue it otherwise works fine, and I guess I'll just have to deal with it from now on by dbl-clicking on Fla files TWICE instead of once - otherwise affectionately known as 'quadruple-clicking', (but if you count closing the error window then it's 'quintuple-clicking').
I don't mind being proven wrong - so if somebody out there knows what is going on here (besides my theory of software developers time limitations resulting in complete world domination) feel free to reply. I'll get an email telling me someone replied and I'll come to this post and have a look.
(suggestions to reinstall will be ignored - been there, done that)

Restore thumbnails for .ai files in Windows Explorer

Please please please? I spend so much time now trying to find the .ai files I need - Bridge is really really slow, and so I end up navigating to files in Windows Explorer, then opening Bridge and navigating to the same location in Bridge and then waiting up to two minutes for the previews to show up. It's almost easier to just open the actual files and look at them rather than trying to get a preview.

One other thing to explore - do these particular files begin with Black Video?
Good luck,

Drag image file from Windows Explorer to a new layer in an open file

I want to know if it's possible in CS3 to drag an image file from Windows Explorer into an already open file in PS. Right now when I drag over, it opens that file. I want to have it where the image is inserted as a new layer into the existing open file. is that possible?

Hi, I'm using CS4 and would love to be able to drag n drop straight to a new layer in an existing file.
At present when I drag n drop I get a new image in PS. I then have to move this to my existing image. I have tried draging to the tab, the layer box, the image, the blank space, using shift,ctrl & alt.
A simple how to would be nice

Cannot see zipped files in Windows Explorer

I used the code below to create a zip file. When I use Winzip to open a zip file named test.zip, I can see all the files (a.txt, b.class, etc.) that have been zipped. But, when I double-click on the test.zip in Windows Explorer (Windows XP Professional), I cannot see any of the zipped files.
Can someone give me some pointers?
import java.util.*;
import java.util.zip.*;
import java.io.*;
public class CreateZip
     public CreateZip()
     public void createZipFile(String[] all_array, String zipfilename)
          FileOutputStream pout; // declare a file output object
PrintStream p;
          String file_path = "D:\\Docs\\FedPlanner\\";
try
pout = new FileOutputStream(file_path + "FedPlanner_Zip_log.txt");
p = new PrintStream( pout );
               for (int i = 0; i < all_array.length; i++)
                    System.out.println("all_array = " + all_array);
                    p.println (all_array[i]);
p.close();
catch (Exception e)
System.err.println ("Error writing to file");
          byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
          try
               String outFilename = file_path + zipfilename;
          ZipOutputStream out = new ZipOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(outFilename));
               for (int i=0; i< all_array.length; i++) //
               FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream(file_path + all_array[i]);//filenames
               out.putNextEntry(new ZipEntry(file_path +all_array[i]));//filenames
               int len;
               while ((len = in.read(buf)) > 0)

     public static void main(String args[])
          for(int i=0; i < all_array.length; i++)
               System.out.println("x = " + all_array[i]);
          CreateZip create = new CreateZip();
          create.createZipFile(all_array);

I have never created a zip file using Java . But from what i know about Winzip and Window Explorer, here's my takes on it:
1. Winzip works with severals different compression algorithm 9including their own)
2. Winzip has the ability to display the content of the zip file (if the zip file happens to be one of the compression algorithm they supported....otherwise, it's highly unlikely, winzip can even open the file)
3. Window Explorer does not call Winzip to display the content of Winzip file. rather, Window Explorer has its own utility to look into the Winzip for files and display them. Note: they probably only do this for the popular compression algorith (such as Winzip .zip, probably .tar...but highly doubtful of the one that Java use to make a zip file).
So..it's probably Window Explorer does not supports display that compression algorithm (the one Java use) for a Winzip file.
Example...you created a new format for an image call .mypics
Window Explorer can display a thumb nail for .bmp, .jpeg, and quite a few other
You created an application to display the image. Now..in Window Explorer, when you click on the icon, the thumbnail of the pic is not display...this is because Window Explorer does not have a util to do thumbnail for that format.

Specify an input file using Windows Explorer

Hi, I'm very new to Orchestrator.
Instead of writing stand-alone PowerShell scripts to perform tasks against an input file, I would like to use Orchestrator, thus avoiding the need to write the code.
Is there a way to specify an input file using Windows Explorer via Orchestrator? When invoked, I would like my Runbook to open up Windows Explorer, where I could navigate to my input file, then press OK and have my automated processes run. Do
I need to look beyond Orchestrator, say towards Service Manager, or is this natively available in Orchestrator?
Thanks,
Nick.

Hi,
there are several Ways.
you can use the SCO Webconsole, to start a Runbook and put in a Porpertie.
you can use SCSM with SMPortal to define the File
or you can use the free EUPSCO Portal, to build a Webfrontend for SCO
