Image assets and folders

I'm new to Dreamweaver and have imported an existing site.
The site has a number of JPG's that have been divided up into
different folders for ease of location. But Dreamweaver imported
those assets as one long alphabetical list. Is there any way to
keep that image folder structure in the Assets panel?

Bridge is just a file browser, by no means a robust DAM (digital asset manager).  Its performance in a network environment is iffy.
Please see this very recent thread here:
Is there a stand alone version of Bridge and whats the cost per license?

  • Why are my thumbnails and folders changing???

    For some reason my image thumbnails and folders are misbehaving.
    Thumbnails
    The thumbnail images will just disappear on SOME images in a folder but not all.
    Folders
    The folder sizes will max out in some folders but not in others.
    And, I am not sure this has anything to do with this, but sometimes when I add an image to a folder it will spring open and close very quickly. This does not happen all the time, but it does happen. This could just be a Leopard thing, I am not sure.
    To make the thumbnail images re-appear, I just re-start my computer. However, this does not correct the folder over-sizing. I have to manually do this as I find them. And, to be clear, I have 'Show Icon Preview' selected. I know that in Tiger you could mistakenly change ALL the folders on you HD, but I did not think you could do this with Leopard. If this IS possible, then that could explain the folder changes, but not the image disappearances.
    This all began as I was moving files over to my external HD yesterday. Same this is happening today. So, this is a constant battle that I am not winning by any stretch.
    ANY comments or suggestions will be most welcome.
    Phillip Anthony

    Thanks for the detailed help.
    I am aware of what you so kindly suggested, but I think the cause of my problem lay somewhere else.
    To be clear, I have used the Info palette to change the 'Open with:' function from 'Adobe Photoshop CS4' to say, 'Preview', if I just want to view the image as opposed to modify it, especially if PS were not already launched.
    As I said, this problem just began all of a sudden, then quit. Today, I have not had this issue, so I am not complaining. As I go through my workflow, I continue to find maxed out folder sizes, but these are easily corrected. It was the lack of thumbnails that was the issue.
    Again, I sincerely appreciate the suggestion.

  • Generate Image Assets crashes Photoshop when making half-size pngs from groups

    I've been getting Photoshop CC to crash consistantly when I try to generate scaled-down pngs from a layer group.  If I have generate image assets on and change a group name to "50% name.png", Photoshop instantly crashes.  If generate assets is off and I change a group name to "50% name.png" Photoshop does not crash until I try turning on generate assets, and then it crashes instantly.  Trying "50% name.png, name_full.png" also fails.  This has occured in different files.  It does not happen in every file or every time, but it happens very often.
    I'm using Windows 8 and Photoshop CC 14.1.1 x64.

    Hi.
    I’ve installed the latest photoshop update (14.2.1 x64). Unfortunately the new update makes me now impossible to use the generator routine. My project needs “decades” longer to realise that I’ve activated the generator in the File menu. I click on Generate->Image Assets and nothing happens… first. After half a minute or so the checkbox eppear finally. You must know: I have more than 100 Layers to be generated to single images. A lot of them are smart objects or groups.
    When I finally save my file to start the generate routine, I needs a lot ( ! ) longer to generate the images than before.
    Additionally my main problem is stil lthere: Impossible to rename any layer or activate the blending menue, while the generator runs.
    So with this update I’ve to wait much much longer to activate or deactivate the generate routine. Deactivating needs a long time too… What have you done there Adobe? (Sorry for this words.)
    @Adobe support: Please contact me personally via mail if possible and I will send you the project file where this problem appear. I can’t publish the file for everybody, sorry guys.
    Do someone knows how to go back to the prevoius installation? Really sad about the generator. A must buy argument and actually a real time saver.

  • Photoshop 2014 - File Generator Image Assets not working

    Win7 Pro 64bit
    Photoshop 2014.2.1
    Draw three layers with the brush and add extension .PNG to each layer name
    Edit > Preferences > Plug-Ins  : Enable Generator is checked
    File > Generate > Image Assets : no check mark ever appears by "Image Assets" and no files are created
    What am I doing wrong?  Any help will be greatly appreciated!

    I actually reported my results from my mid 2009 Macbook, so now from Windows 7 x64/Dell CC 2014.
    Create new file
    Check Image assets, no checkmark.
    Convert background into floating layer, rename it 1.png, swipe a brushstroke.
    Now I'm able to checkmark and extract 1.png.

  • How can I import images from iphoto with the albums and folders?

    How can I import images from iphoto without losing the albums and folders I already created?

    In Organizer, you can choose File>get Photos and Videos>From iPhoto.
    Importing from iPhoto'09: If in iPhoto, you organize your media using photo references, that is, the media actually does not reside inside iPhoto library package, and are referenced through original locations, Organizer does not create new copies of those media and just refer to the original location. but if your iPhoto media reside inside iPhoto library, Organizer creates a copy all media in your pictures folder, also imports albums and tags and other metadata.
    Importing from iPhoto'011: In this case, Organizer always creates a copy of your photos in your pictures folder which resides inside iPohto package. It does not import the albums and other metadata like star rating, caption etc.
    Hope this information helps!

  • Generate image assets from within Smart Object

    Hi,
    When designing for phones I create a large canvas with all screens spread out accross it. Every screen is a Smart Object. To me this has many advantages.
    When editing a screen I open the Smart Object. Now I turn on Generate Image Assets. I notice that no resource folder is created.
    Seems like Generating Image Assets from within a smart object is not possible.
    Is that correct? If so, why isn't the menu option greyed out?
    UPDATE: I found that you can use Generate Image Assets from within a Smart Object. But NOT if the Smart Object is part of a PSD. In other words, only if the Smart Object (psb) is a seperate file.
    I wonder why.
    Cheers,
    H

    Old thread, but I had the exact same problem.  It turns out (on Windows at least), that you can find the generated assets folder for a smart object, but you have to know where to look.
    With the smart object "opened" in Photoshop, click "Save as". This shows the location of the current smart object being edited. For me, it was: C:\Users\Jeff\AppData\Local\Temp\Layer112112121.psb
    And lo and behold, right next to the layer temp file was the image asset output folder with my generated assets in it:
    C:\Users\Jeff\AppData\Local\Temp\Layer112112121 - assets
    You can right-click and "Open in a new window" to get a file explorer window in that folder (see image below).
    (Possibly important note: Close or cancel the Save As dialog, we don't actually want to save the layer to a different location.)
    This location makes sense, but it does seem to be a poor user experience design. Presumably temp files should output their asset folders to the desktop, just like unsaved PSD files.

  • Question regarding iphoto and folders

    I am a Mac newbie (9 months) and quite happy expect i freeze all the time after i installed lion, but that is for a different thread.;)
    I had all of my pictures on an external hard drive.  I had them organized in folders by year (also had a Year/edited for family photos we changed) and then by date/event...ie, 2011 04-05 Easter Dinner at Dad's. 
    When I got my macbook pro, I hooked up the hard drive and iphoto took care of importing all the pictures.  (i have upgraded to iphoto 11).  At first, I LOVED it.  Putting face names in the pictures, etc, but after a while i got tired of having to reorganize them to find pictures the way i used to. I have over 15,000 pictures and renaming (even with the batch option) and moving them, and fixing dates, etc was becoming overwhelming.  I found myself longing for my very simple folder organization.  So i went  to look for the folders, eventually found them and found out there were folders for originals, modified, thumbnails, etc.  and when i went in my originals, they weren't in folders I had originally had on my external drive.
    My wife, who is our picture editor, preffers photoshop and i have a windows laptop that i want to use for nothing other than pictures.
    So......my question is:
    How can i best take my photo's and put them back on a hard drive and then transfer them to the other laptop?  Is there anyway to recover my old file system (deleted off the hard drive, except for an old backup but i have added thousands of pictures and have no way of telling which ones are in iphoto are old or new).  I am fearful that if I just copy iphoto to the hard drive that the windows laptop will not read them, or that it will still show up with all of the different folders (original, modified, thumbs, etc)
    And/or, is there a program to manage pictures for my macbook pro that will keep photos in folders more similarly to how i did before, so it will be easy to move pics from one laptop to the other.
    Thanks!!!!

    1. You know that iPhoto can do all this.
    2. You can sort by Date -> View Menu -> Sort Photos.
    3. You can search by date -> Click on the Search icon and select calendar. Then you can find all the pics from any day, month or year
    4. You can search by date using Smart Albums too.
    5. You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
    6. No there is no way to export back to your previous system. It's gone. You could have easily imported while mirroring that system, but it's too late for that now.
    7. To get Photos out of iPhoto: File -> Export.  Apps like iPhoto2Disk or PhotoShare will help you export to a Folder tree matching your Events.
    8. iPhoto can run a Referenced Library (where you have your own folder system) but I don't recommend it - especially for people unfamiliar with iPhoto and Macs. It also adds no extra functionality at all. It's just dumb storage.

  • Bridge CS6 Script to Find Multiple Images in Multiple folders.

    Is it possible to have a script to find multiple images within multiple folders that is on a external hard drive?
    For instances I have a external hard drive assuming it's for a library of pictures.
    Inside this hard drive has folders named as below
    1-1000
    1001-2000
    2001-3000
    3001-4000
    If I had a perfect csv file for example that calls out for specific pictures for example 2, 10,1500 and 2000 (remember think big, it may be a larger list than this it could be hundreds or thousands of pictures); is there a script that would allow me to find these images and save a copy of them on to my desktop so that way I don't have to hunt for them in the old fashion way? I can read scripts but writing them is a different story.

    If you want to go with Batch I would recommend creating an Action of more or less these steps:
    • set the resolution to the same as the background image’s
    • change the image from Background Layer to regular Layer if necessary
    • convert it to a Smart Object
    • add a Drop Shadow Layer Style to the image (do not use Global Angle)
    • place the background image (File > Place …)
    • move it behind the image layer
    • Image > Reveal All
    • make Selection from that layer’s transparency (cmd-click its icon in the Layers Panel) and use Image > Crop
    • select and transform the image layer to fit the intended position
    This would naturally work out best if the images had the same size and proportions.
    For the reflection on the floor duplicate the image, flip it vertically, move it in position and reduce its opacity to maybe 10%.
    Realistically you may have to hide it partially behind the pillows, a Vector Mask would be an option.

  • Can't change permission on Time Capsule files and folders

    I am using my Time Capsule as a storage device that everyone on my network can access, and I also have a fairly small (~5000 songs) iTunes Library as well. This was all working fine, until I decided to try to get a second computer, beside my MacBook Pro (8,1) to connect to the iTunes Library. Suddenly strange things started happening, like the network dropping at seemingly completely random times, certain people being kicked of the network, etc. So then I thought "well maybe its because of the iTunes Library." So I did a 'Get Info' to the Library folder, named iTunes Library, and it showed this:
    This didn't seem too strange, except for the (unknown) name. I then learned (http://pondini.org/TM/E10.html) that this may actually be causing the problem, so I hit the minus button while hovering over it, only to see this:
    Now, as far as I can tell, this shouldn't be happening. So I tried it on many different computers (10.8.4, 10.6.8, 10.7.5, among others), and they all said this. Then, back on 10.8.4, I decided to try to add my name, even though it said that everyone can read and write, and it said this:
    Now I knew this was strange, since it has never, ever happened to me since OS 7. What was also strange, instead of showing the usual selection window, it asked me to type in my username, like so:
    This happened on every computer, and in every directory and every file (or at least the couple dozen I tried, including ones outside the Library folder that I had already changed permissions on before normally), so I knew something was definetly up. So of course, I turned to my friend, the Terminal. I tried doing sudo chmod 555, 755, 775, 777, and a+x, and none of them worked, again, on multiple different files and folders. Also, since I have connected the second conmputer to the Library, it seems as though the file iTunes Library.itl is no longer executable, because it looks like this:
    Also, no one but me can connect to it anymore, even though they can all see it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    EDIT: Sorry for the low-res images, Apple seems to have done something to them

    Verify volume failed with error Could not unmount disk (-10000)
    That could happen if there is another process that is presently accessing the volume.  I don't think it related to the volume having data corruption.  The fact that is it a "server" may be relevant.
    In the time that you have had this problem, has it been shut down and restarted? 
    You can also try restarting it with the Shift key held down.  That should do a Safe Mode startup, if an Xserve acts like a regular Mac.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455
    The Safe Boot will do some maintenance and tests during startup, and start up with only essential proceses running.  Try accessing that folder now.  If you can access it, you should probably save it off on another volume, such as an external drive, so that you have a current backup.
    Try running Repair Disk Permissions and Verify Disk again in Disk Utility.  Repair Disk Permissions will probably give you a lot of messages; they are usually just "informational" so don't be concerned.  However, if Verify Disk reports an error, that is a serious problem that needs to be addressed.
    Edit:  If the volume being tested is NOT the startup disk, then Repair Disk Permissions will be disabled.  It only applies when there is a system installed on that volume.

  • In PSE 11 how to import photos to the organizer from the computer files and folders

    While using the restore function in PSE 11 (Windows 8), using a catalog backup from PSE 8 (Windows XP), a number of images could not be restored. To try to link to the images in their actual  location, I tried the following:
    1. I used the File Get function, browsed to the images and did a Get Media. Upon completion, the thumbnails automatically displayed in the organizer.
    2. For reasons I do not understand, the path, where these photos actually reside, displayed in a separate part of the tree view (just below the tree view created from the restore operation.) rather than in the restored tree view.
    I tried to drag them to the location where they should be, but that did not work.
    I noticed that when I did the get photos from files and folders, I saw no way to designate where the photos were to be linked to in the tree view. (Such as is the case when you get photos from a camera.)
    I tried to find instructions on how to get photos from files and folders, to see where I am going wrong but had no luck.
    Can anyone explain what is going wrong and how I can correct it?
    Thanks for your help.

    Thanks for your response. Based on my understanding of your comments I tried the following:
    1. In the main tree view, I deleted the sub-folder which should have contained the files that failed to restore (SF1). Then I dragged the sub-folder in the separate tree structure (SF2) to the  location SF1.  This did not work; I got the message: A folder with the same name already exists at the requested location. When I opened the folder containing SF1 and selected: Show all SubFolders, SF1 was not deleted.
    2. I then tried to drag the images in SF2 to SF1. This too did not work; the images stayed in SF2.
    3. In SF1, I right clicked and selected: Import Media. This did not work; I got the message: 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.
    I have to assume that I either did not correctly understand your comments or that their is more at play than I realize. Could you explain why each of my attempts failed and what should I be doing to move folders, sub-folders and/or images within the organizer tree view?
    Thanks for your consideration.

  • Moving files and folders in the Library module

    I teach a lot of LR users and one area that's consistantly frustrating and unintuitive (even to some experienced users) are the rules for moving files and folders around in the Library module. I'm not sure I have all the right answers/suggestions/remedies but here are the basic points worth examining:
    1) Additional hard drives aren't listed unless images from it have been imported into Lightroom. It would be nice if people could add a new hard drive without importing files from it. People don't get it that you can select "Add Folder" from the Folders pop up menu. Classic example: Say someone has purchased a new hard drive for archiving purposes. It's empty and they want to drag folders of images onto it from within LR. Possible Solution: include a "Add Drive..." option from the Folder's panel + pop-up menu that would behave the same and add a root level folder.
    2) One can't drag more than one folder at a time. While I assume this is designed to prevent accidental mass movement it would be nice if one could enable the movement of multiple folders. 
    3) One can't drag a folder onto the main drive bar that lists the drive's name and capacities - one has to drag onto a folder within a drive. I'd love to be able to drag a folder onto the root level of a drive by dropping onto the drive bar (this would be similar to the MacOS finder).
    4) Sometimes the root level of a drive isn't apparent. One may need to right click on a folder and select "Show Parent Folder" to show the root level folder which is named after the volume. Showing a root "folder" that has the same name as the drive is also confusing to people since there isn't actually a folder on the hard drive with that name.  I completely understand why folders are hidden by default and I'm not sure the remedy is but, again, this isn't intuitive for new users. If #3 worked as described perhaps we could have root level access without the root folder?
    Scott Martin
    www.on-sight.com

    Perhaps I should add that I really like and appreciate a lot of the decisions that have already been implemented into the Library's Folder's tab. Moving files instead of copying them, showing only folders that contain imported images, the ability to show or hide parent folders.... Bravo!

  • Importing Assets and Timeline problem

    Hello I have just purchased and installed Encore DVD 2.0 (inside Production Studio), so I am a novice. I have several movies/ shows/ etc. I created by using the Record TV in the Media Center Edition 2005 software. I've converted the DVR-MS file type to Mpeg2 using Roxio Easy Media Creator 7.0/VideoWave 7.0.
    Using Encore DVD 2.0 I tried Importing MPEG2 file using Import as --> Assets and Timeline. It looked like the importing was moving along the progress bar reaching approx. 3/4 point. Then it restarts the importing process again reaching the 3/4 point again stopping with a popup box appears with the text message, "Stream Requested Does Not Exist". When I click the "Ok" button the importing process stops. What can I do to get Encore DVD 2.0 to work properly? Am I doing anything wrong?
    My Computer is a HP Digital Entertainment Center Z555 using XP Media Edition Center 2005.
    Intel Pentium 4 processor 530j with HT technology

    As far as I'm aware, Nero is just fine as long as you don't create DVD-Video with it, as there was a bug with this when it seemed to not set the correct start sectors for the IFO & BUP files.
    It's just fine for burning from ISO images, and for all other tasks though.
    And that bug may well have been squashed by now.
    Lots of people use Nero with no troubles at all - it's not my personal choice, but that means nothing.
    It's certainly far superior to Roxio.
    I'm actually quite surprised that Roxio & Nero are actually playing nice on the same system!
    The only possible other "Gotcha" with Nero is the packet writing utility. Do not install this - it can and does interfere with burning DVD, as Packet writing works by helpfully "looking" at your burner(s) on a regular basis to "see" if there is any blank media inserted, and it will offer to format this & use it as a drag n drop type writing utility. It's called "InCD", and if already present should be uninstalled.
    There is a list of stuff that is known to cause problems - some occasional, some constant - with DVD authoring at
    Neil Wilkes, "Things and Software to avoid when authoring for DVD-V" #, 13 Feb 2006 6:43 am
    Additionally, the utilities included with Nero are generally of a much better standard than those with Roxio.
    Nero Recode, for example, has been praised in many forums.
    There are a lot of users who swear by Nero, whereas there are a lot who swear

  • File Generate Image Assets: no checkmark

    When selecting the Image Assets as taught in the video http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/generate-assets-layers.html I do not get a checkmark andtherefore this feature is not working.  I am using Photoshop CC version 14.1.1 in a Windows 7 environment.  Any suggestions?
