JPG files are being erased by PE 5 Organizer

I have experienced a weird incident with Photoshop Element 5.0, to which I
couldn't believe until I could reproduce it: *the PE Organizer erases all
*.JPG files in the pictures' directory I am working on when closing under
certain conditions.* You will find in appendix the report of the tests I
have been running.
The procedure that leads to files being deleted is the following:
- Initial state: PE 5.0 Editor and Organizer inactive. The directory
contains 2 JPG files (IMG_0177a.JPG). The files in the directory are sorted
by file type.
1. Open PE 5.0 Organizer.
2. Select picture IMG_0022.CR2.
3. Click on "Go to full edit". The directory still contains the 2 .jpg
files.
4. Save the file after edit as IMG_0022.DNG. The directory still contains
the 2 .jpg files.
5. Click on "Open image".  The directory still contains the 2 .jpg files.
6. Save the picture as IMG_0022.JPG. The directory contains now 3 .jpg
files.
7. Close the file in the Editor. The directory still contains the 3 .jpg
files.
8. Click onto the Organizer window to give it the focus. The directory
still contains the 3 .jpg files.
9. Close the Organizer. The 3 .jpg files are no longer in the directory.
The appendix shows more details (screenshots) of my tests (see tests 1 and
3).
I couldn't find any configuration in PE that can cause this behaviour. I
could also find no mention of it on your support site. Could you please
help me?
- Is that behaviour made possible through a configuration preference or is
it a known bug?
- If it is a bug, is there a fix for it?
- If not, how else can I avoid such deletions?
- If I store the .JPG files in a subdirectory of that where the raw photo
files are stored, can I be sure that the JPG files will never be erased
through that behaviour?
I have just experienced that incident only this fall because I have just
installed PE 5.0 and started processing raw photo files recently (I had PE
4 up to then).
My configuration:
- PC with Windows XP Pro SP3 and all updates installed. 1.5 GB RAM. Drive
C: is 37 GB, free space is 13 GB.
- I got PE 5.0.2 with my Canon camera I bought in January 2008. I installed
the update in August 2012. No add-on SW has been installed to PE.
- I store my photo files on a NAS disk (La Cie 1 TB, free space: 203 GB)
and use another NAS disk for backup copies (that backup disk is only
running for backups; it was never running when I experienced the incident
below).
- My photo files are stored in directories organized by date and event. Up
to now, I have been storing all types of photo files in one directory per
event (.CR2, .JPG, .DNG).
Best regards
Dominique

Not sure why this is happening this way but may be closing PSE processes which access and work upon files in the background might make a difference.
Please launch Organizer and click Edit >> Preferences >> Media Analysis and turn off all checkboxes.
From the task manager, kill the following exes if running-
ElementsAutoAnalyzer
Adobe Photoshop File Agent
Dynamic Link Manager
repeat your workflow and check if the issue still happens.
Thanks

  • Ipod cannot restore"because files are being used by another application"

    Hello all,
    I hope someone can help me. I think I mad a big mistake. I did a favor for my father who bought the newest IPod clip on shuffle for my mom. I agreed to get it up and running using my laptop, (which has Itunes for my Ipod w/video) would this create a conflict. Unfortunately I didn't think of asking BEFORE i tried to get the shuffle up and running. The shuffle works fine now but my 30GB Ipod is not able to sync any songs and has requested me to restore to the default settings. Which I tried but when I do it states that I can't because "files are being used by another application" So I tried to use the chat help on this website and when I logged in it picked my product type as a SHUFFLE. Can someone give me any advice. Thanks

    I get this messager and I have no other ipods or dev. to my system and have problems when I disconnect also?? Even have done a complete restore, to no help. Help

  • File corruption on SDCard when multiple files are being written from WinCE 6.0R3

    We currently have file corruption problems which we have been able to reproduce on our system which uses WinCE 6.0R3. We have an SDCard in our system which is mounted as the root FS.  When multiple files are being written to the file system we occasionally
    see file corruption with data destined from one file, ending up in another file, or in another location in the same file.  We have already written test SW that we have been able to use to reproduce the problem, and have worked with the SDCard vendor to
    check that the memory controller on the card is not the source of the problems.
    We know that the data we send to WriteFile() is correct, and that the data which eventually gets sent through the SDCard driver to the SD card is already corrupted.
    We believe that the problem is somewhere in the microsoft private sources between the high level filesystem API calls and the low level device calls that get the data onto the HW.
    We have confirmed that the cards that get corrupted are all good and this is not a case ofpoor quality flash memory in the cards. The same cards that fail under WinCE 6.0R3 never fail under the same types of testing on Windows, Mac OX, or linux.  We
    can hammer the cards with single files writes over and over, but as soon as multiple threads are writing multiple files it is only a matter of time before a corruption occurs.
    One of the big problems is that we are using the sqlcompact DB for storing some data and this DB uses a cache which get's flushed on it's own schedule. Often the DB gets corrupted because other files are being written when the DB decides to flush.
    So we can reproduce the error (with enough time), and we know that data into the windows CE stack of code is good, but it comes out to the SDcard driver corrupted.  We have tried to minimize writes to the file system, but so far we have not found a
    way to make sure only one file can be written at once. Is there a setting or an API call that we can make to force the OS into only allowing one file write at a time, or a way of seeing how the multiple files are managed in the private sources?
    Thanks

    All QFE's have been applied we are building the image so we have some control.
    I have build an image which used the debug DLL's of the FATFS and I have enabled all of the DebugZones.  The problem is still happening. From the timings in the debug logs and the timestamps in the data which corrupts the test file I have been able
    to see that the file is corrupted AFTER the write is complete. Or at least that's how it seems.
    We finished writing the file and closed the handle. Then more data is written to other files. When we get around to verifying the file it now contains data from the files that were subsequently written.
    What I think I need to do is figure out in detail how the two files were "laid down" onto the SDCard.  If the system used the same cluster to write the 2 files then that would explain the issue.

  • My CR2 files are being saved as PNG and not PSD

    When I import files into Elements 12 Organizer, I want to use the Instant Fix Smart Fix option. The CR2 files are being exported to the PNG format, and I want them to be PSD files, I don't have a way to return to the options of how to save my files by using the Instant Fix button. I really would appreciate some help on this. I can't seem to get any tech support by navigating the Adobe Web site - I always land in the Forums.

    In PSE12, whenever I want to use the smart fix option in the organizer for a raw file, I get a dialog with various format options and the possibility to check one of those formats by default. If I check the checkbox to always use that format and not to display the menu, I find myself in the same situation as yours.
    I don't know of a way to get the menu back... Deleting the organizer preferences should help, unless other users have a better idea.

  • HT1339 My nano won't restore, it says  it can't because "files are being used"  Please help me get the "chipmunk's and Beiber" off my ipod!!!

    I am trying to restore my nano to get my kids' chipmunk and beiber music off and it replys that it cant because files are being used.....what do i need to do???

    First and foremost, just say no to Beiber
    First, close all open apps on your computer and restart your computer. Open only iTunes when it restarts.
    Then, I would reset your iPod, probably not needed but I would do it  any way. Hold the sleep/wake button and the volume down button until the Apple logo appears. Wait for it to completely start  up to where it is ready to use.
    Now try and restore. If the iPod was synced with your own computer to put the music on, you can use it to remove it. Usually that is preferred instead of restoring.

  • Pleaswait while the downloaded files are being extracted-100% completed

    With the trial dnload
    of PS5 ext the message
    "Please wait while the downloaded files are being extracted…100% completed"
    was as far as things went. My Downloads File
    shows no CS5 activity. Please help.

    I'm (let's say over 50) and have worked with PCs for 30 years, and bigger computers for some years before that.  No hassles here.  But I'm a computer engineer.
    It's kind of like that scene with the satellite phone in Jurassic Park II when they first get to the island...  "You've gotta love it for it to work."  "I'll love it when it works."

  • TIFF and JPG Files Are Black?

    I have posted this question twice before but didn’t get it resolved. I really need to get some help on this.
    I have some old projects that I use in the classroom while I am teaching. They are TIFF images and often have sound clips with them. I create slideshows and then convert them to tracks. This has been working really well.
    Suddenly, all TIFF or JPG files are black. Old files in old projects and new ones I import are all black. PICT files are okay and I am doing new projects using them, but I cannot go back and edit old projects because all of the TIFFs are black.
    Can anyone figure out why this happened and how to resolve the issue?
    Thanks!
    Mike

    I have seen this when I save over a graphic while the fcp project is still open. The tifs come back inside fcp when I restart the app then trash my render files. If these are really old fcp projects try disconnecting your media (the tif and jpeg files), trashing your render files then reconnecting your media using the locate tool.

    If you download it again, you can make a bootable USB stick to install using this free program.

  • Portege 3440CT freezes after some time while the files are being copied

    Hello all :)
    It seems I'm having the same problem as missred in this thread http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=19232 (on the bottom). Unfortunatelly I can't reply there that's why I'm writing here. My laptop version is 3440CT.
    My try was to make a win98 bootable HD drive with i386 directory on it, boot from this disk and start the installation with winnt.exe. OK, it works but while the files are being copied after some time it just freezes. I tried it both with one partition and i386 on active system partition and with two partitions and i386 on a separate non-system partition. I don't have FDD or CD for the laptop.
    Any ideas what is wrong? Is it possible to install XP on the same disk the XP installation is started from?
    Can't wait for your replies ;)
    dzi
    PS: My other tries were:
    - complete XP installation on another computer and then switching the drive
    - XP installation on another computer up to the point it first resets (after finishing of coping the installation files) and then switching the drive
    both unsuccessful. I also changed the drive to another one as I suspected it's phisically damaged. Now I'm out of ideas ;)

    It should work out this way, so........ is it really freezing or did you forget to include "smartdrive" ?
    Be sure to include the file in the root-directory of your HD and put the right command in your autoexec.bat file
    In the link you refer to you can find all the details
    and ...... yes, you can install XP on the same HD the installation is starting from

  • Ipod touch 4's files are deleted whenever i add a new file into it through itunes (the files i have on my ipod touch aren't in my itunes before hand) and i don't know what to do to keep these files from being erased. PLEASE HELP :(

    my ipod touch 4th generation has files that i didnt back up because i didnt know i was supposed to. the when i tried to add one new file to my EMPTY itunes, all files are deleted, yes because i know i didnt back the files up and the files on my ipod arent in my itunes. so i cancelled adding the new file and all files
    are back again, like i didnt press the sync button when it showed the deletion. what am i supposed to do about this? i dont want my ipod files to be deleted, i just wanna add new files freely without losing any of my old files. please help.

    You want to transfer purchases from the iPod to your iTunes account.
    Connect the device to iTunes but do not sync.
    Select File > Transfer Purchases.
    This will copy the content purchased via iTunes on the iPod to your iTunes account.

  • JNLP and jar files are being download from server again.

    I have a swing application deployed with Java Web Start on a server.
    On my client I install the application using JWS JRE 1.6.
    The issue is that without any change in the jars or JNLP the jars are being downloaded from the server again and again
    This is not consistant - it happens only sometimes.
    One important thing to mention: The server is inside a load-balancer cluster (AKAMAI), so the IP address of the actual server may change between different accesses.
    in the log, I can see the error:
    "Cache entry not found"
    and then the jar is being downloaded again.
    sometimes only one or two jars were downloaded again, sometimes the whole package with the JNLP file were dowloaded again.
    Can you suggest what can be the reason for this behavior?
    Thank you,
    Ran

    That does seem slow, but there are many factors that could be involved. More information would be helpful:
    - Are the source and destination filesystems ZFS or UFS? (or some other FS)
    - What does iostat show you?
    - What does vmstat show you?
    - What type of HBAs connect you to the SAN? ('fcinfo hba-port')
    - Anything in /var/adm/messages?

  • Universal installer: certain files are being used by one or more appl.

    I am trying to patch an 9.2.0.1 database to 9.2.0.3.
    When i start Oracle Universal installer and specified the locations i got the following error:
    Certain files which need to be reinstalled by Oracle Universal installer are being used by one or more applications.
    Please close any running applications before continuing.
    All services are stopped from the service panel! In the taskmanager there isn't any program running associated with Oracle. What is the hidden program that prevents my installation?

    I guess this is Windows, try the following:
    1) Rename $ORACLE_HOME\bin to something else
    2) Reboot the machine
    3) Rename back to $ORACLE_HOME\bin
    4) Try installation again

  • Files are being used by another application?

    I recently tried to update my 5.5 gen 80GB ipod by putting some pictures on it the other day, but when I tried to eject it, it told me that it couldn't because some files were being used by another application. I unsynced the pictures from it but it still tells me I can't eject it. What should I do?

    Shut the computer down. That ought to terminate any activities that are still trying to access the iPod's data. Once the computer is shut down, the iPod's screen should read that it's safe to disconnect it.

  • JPG files are ignored by exporting to HTML.

    I work with optimized jpg and png files for my project. But if I export to HTML Adobe Muse convert every graphic to a png file with even bigger file sizes as an jpg file.

    This happens, if transparency effects (shadow, rounded corner etc) are applied to a picture. JPG-images don’t support transparency, therefore these pictures have to be converted to PNG.
