Maximum Size of Catalog?

Since I am having problems with PhotoShop 9.0 Organizer running in Win 7 Pro, I thought I should as just how many photos can be managed in a single catalog.
I believe my catalog size is about 20K to 25K.  Is that getting too large?
I don't believe I am running into disk space problems.

I don't think the size of the catalog has anything to do with your problem. The number of files in itself is not the problem.
The number of tags may be depending on the version, but with 43.000 files and more than 600 custom tags in PSE6, I have no speed problems.
I understand that the 'Updating Thumbnails' message does not generally prevent you from working in the organizer, but prevents a 'clean' shutdown or backup and 'some other opereations' (which ones?)
This task is run as a background task, and normally that's not a problem. You can exit the organizer : the updating will restart and continue automatically from your next session. There may be a problem with 'poison pictures' or of background tasks (processes) with Win 7 : I would rather investigate this suggestion. I have recently read a post about 'killing' a background process, but I can't help you more

  • Maximum size for Elements 6.0 catalog

    Is there a maximum size for a singular catalog to keep it operating efficiently?  Everything I read is that the maximum size is dependent on your hard drive space.  I recently had to restore everything from a backup due to a fatal crash.  I keep my photo files on an external, USB powered hard drive.  Right now I have over 41,000 photos which is about 125 GB.  These are family photos I would like to keep together for tagging but am I pushing my Organizer beyond its limits?

    My catalog is on my external hard drive.  Here is the information from Help->System Info.:
    Current Catalog:
    Catalog Name:
    Catalog Location: F:\\
    Catalog Size: 133.7MB
    Catalog Cache Size: 841.8MB
    When I look on the external drive, there are 5 files under the F: drive (my external hard drive).  How do I moved the Catalog.psedb, backupCT.dat, collstatus.dat, itemData.mk4, tagstatus.dat, thumb.5.cache?  Can I copy/paste to a new folder within my C: drive or do I need to do something within PSE?  The next step I haven't mentioned is that once I get my PSE 6.0 up and running after its fatal crash, I want to convert to 8.0.  Currently, I'm getting a "cannot convert" error message in 8.0 and that I need to repair my catalog in 6.0.  When I try to repair, I'm told there are "no errors".  If you have a link for instructions to convert to 8.0 too, it be most helpful!  Thanks for all your help!!

  • Is there a recommended (maximum) size for a catalog?

    I'm loading all my photos into PSE9 Organizer on my new MacBook Pro and was wondering if there is a recommended maximum size for a catalog? On my PC I separated my catalogs by year. My 2011 folder contains over 11,000 photos and is 71GB. Is that pushing the limits for efficiency or could I combine years?

    One catalog for all of your photos makes sense. Alternatively, as Ken said, catalogs by relatively non-overlapping subject matter areas make sense. I still see no scenario where catalogs by years makes sense, unless you can honestly say that you can remember the years of all of your 68000 photos.
    Tags and albums let you organize in ways that are nearly impossible using folders. If your daughter is named Jennifer, for example, and you assign the Jennifer tag to all photos that contain her image, then later when you want to search for pictures of Jennifer, you simply click the tag and boom, there are the photos instantaneously. You don't need to know what folder the photos are in, nor do you need to know what date the photos were taken. If you want photos of Jennifer over the years at Christmas, this is a simple search once you tag the photos, and nearly impossible using folders. The possibilites are endless. You let PSE remember where the photos are, so you don't have to. You let PSE do the searching, instead of you searching the folders.

  • ALBPM 6.0 : The maximum size for file uploads has been exceeded.

    Hi,
    I use AquaLogic BPM Entreprise server to deploy my Process. When I try to publish a process on my server I get the following error:
    An unexpected error ocurred.
    The error's technical description is:
    "javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: null"
    Possible causes are:
    The maximum size for file uploads has been exceeded.
    If you are trying to publish an exported project you should publish it using the remote project option.
    If you are trying to upload the participant's photo you should choose a smaller one.
    An internal error has ocurred, please contact support attaching this page's source code.
    Has someone resolve it?
    Thank's.

    Hi,
    Sure you've figured this out by now, but when you get the "Maximum size for file uploads" error during publish consider:
    1. if your export project file is over 10mb, use "Remote Project" (instead of "Exported Project") as the publication source. That way when you select the remote project, you will point to ".fpr" directory of the project you are trying to publish.
    Most times your project is not on a network drive that the server has access to. If this is the case, upload the .exp file to the machine where the Process Administrator is running, then expand it in any directory (just unzip the file). Then, from the Process Administrator, use the option to publish a Remote Project by entering the path to the .fpr directory you just created when unzipping the project.
    2. Check to see if you have cataloged any jars and marked them as non-versionable. Most of the times the project size is big just because of the external jar files. So as a best practice, when you do a project export select the option "include only-versionable jars", that will get reduce the project size considerably (usually to Kb's). Of course you have to manually copy the Jar files to your Ext folder.

  • Set maximum size in Text Form Field Options for a field in bi publisher RTF

    Hi All,
    How to set maximum size in Text Form Field Options for a field in bi publisher RTF.
    I have a RTF whch is having a field in that i need to add some validation condition but after adding certain condition in Add help text tab ,it is not accepting after certain length, how i can increase the length to unlimited,please help me on this
    Thnaks

    Form fields have some restrictions if your are using version lower than 11g.
    They can accommodate only 393 chars. You can add the text in both status bar and help key, which can in total consume 393 chars.
    If your code logic is more than that, it can be split into multiple form fields as Avinash suggested or you can use sub template logic and handle coding over there. Again in sub template code can be within/outside form fields.
    So there is no option for user to increase the size of form field.

  • SharePoint Foundation 2010 maximum size WID

    Hi,
    I've installed SharePoint Foundation 2010 using the Windows Internal Database. I'm a bit confused about the maximum size of the database. On several websites I read that the max size for an SQL express database is 4GB.
    Is this the same as the Windows Internal Database? Or can it grow bigger?

    Are you sure you mean the Windows Internal Database? The SharePoint foundation installer will install SQL Server Express edition.

  • Windows Server 2008 R2 Security Event Log Maximum Size

    I have a customer with logging requirements on domain controllers that are exceeding the maximum log size they have configured for the security log.  When they attempted to increase the maximum size of the security event log via Group Policy, the settings
    did not take effect.  When an attempt was made to increase the security event log manually on the domain controller via the properties of the log, an error is generated whenever the value was changed.
    The Maximum Log Size specified is not valid.  It is too large or too small. The Maximum Log Size will be set to the following: 196608 KB
    The 196608 KB value is the value that it is currently set at.  Testing on other logs, application, system, has lead to the same result.  
    wevtutil.exe sl security /ms:<n> produces similar results.  There is no error message given but the value doesn't change when you run wevtutil.exe gl security
    When viewing the registry value MaxSize under HKLM\Current Control Set\Services\EventLog\Security the change is reflected, but the log does not seem to get any larger.  
    What one would expect to be a two minute change in a group policy object has turned into something much more difficult.  Any idea what could be causing this?
    Joseph M. Durnal MCM: Exchange 2010 MCITP: Enterprise Messaging Administrator, Exchange 2010 MCITP: Enterprise Messaging Administrator, MCITP: Enterprise Administrator

    I verified that it was not another policy - the domain is pretty simple without many policies, only policies applied are:
    Default Domain Policy (no event log settings)
    Company Domain Policy (no event log settings)
    Default Domain Controller Policy (no event logs settings)
    Company Domain Controller Policy (...\Event Log\Maximum security log size 4194240 kilobytes)
    The value was 196608 before, the plan was to change the group policy setting to 4194240 and I expected it to be that easy.  However, the values didn't change.
    4194240 is divisible by 64
    Used multiple tools to try and change
    Group Policy
    Event Viewer
    wevtutil.exe
    registry editor
    While some of the methods display a larger event log, the actual size of the event log still seems to be limited to 196608 kb.  
    Thanks,

  • How can i increase the maximum size of a text column in Access

    hello,
    i am inserting data in the MS-Access database through my servlet and am getting the exception whenever the length of the text data is more than 255 characters as in Access the maximum size for character data column is 255 can anyone tell me if there is any way by which i can increase the maximum limit of the column size in Access ,i.e. to make it more than 255.

    A text field in Access has a maximum size of 255 characters. If you want to store text information in Access larger than 255, you need to use the memo rather than text data type. There are special considerations for using an Access memo data type and accessing it through JDBC. Specifically, I believe it must be accessed as a binary object (BLOB), rather than text when using the JDBC-ODBC bridge. There are lots of discussions within these forums regarding how to manage, and the issues with using the Access memo data type.
    Good luck!

  • I want to set a maximum size for pictures when FF shows websites. How can i do that? NO I DONT MEAN "HOW TO ZOOM".

    I have FF 34 but this problem has been there for a lot of earlier versions. On many webpages there are pictures that cover my whole screen, and I want to set maximum size for showing images on webpages.
    I ONLY wanr to change the maximum size of the images, AND IAM NOT asking about how to zoom the webpage.

    Do you want to hide large images or merely make them smaller by setting a max-width and max-height?
    You would probably have to use JavaScript (bookmarklet) to achieve this reliably.
    There are bookmarklets to make large images fit in the window to avoid a horizontal scroll bar
    You can try this code in the <b>userContent.css</b> file (adjust the max-width accordingly).
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/userContent.css
    <pre><nowiki>img { max-width: 1024px !important; height: auto !important; }</nowiki></pre>
    The customization files userChrome.css (user interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the <b>chrome</b> folder in the Firefox profile folder.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Editing_configuration
    *Create the chrome folder (lowercase) in the <xxxxxxxx>.default profile folder if this folder doesn't exist
    *Use a plain text editor like Notepad to create a (new) userContent.css file in the chrome folder (file name is case sensitive)
    *Paste the code in the userContent.css file in the editor window
    *Make sure that you select "All files" and not "Text files" when you save the file via "Save file as" in the text editor as userContent.css.<br>Otherwise Windows may add a hidden .txt file extension and you end up with a not working userContent.css.txt file

  • Forms: How to set a maximum size in Text Fields with automatic size

    ¡Hi!
    When I set a text field on my forms and I use automatic size for te text that the user can write, if the user don't need more space than the field size, when the text appears, Adobe Acrobat Pro always set the text-size to 14 or higher. How can I set a maximum size for that text? For example... 12 or 10...
    Thank you very much,
    Best regards from Spain,
    David.

    Ok. If I use a single line text field, changing the height of the field seems to be a simple way to solve the problem, but... what should I do when the fields are multi-lineal?
    Thanx for your quick answer.

  • How to restrict the maximum size of a java.awt.ScrollPane

    Dear all,
    I would like to implement a scroll pane which is resizable, but not to a size exceeding the maximum size of the java.awt.Canvas that it contains.
    I've sort of managed to do this by writing a subclass of java.awt.ScrollPane which implements java.awt.event.ComponentListener and has a componentResized method that checks whether the ScrollPane's viewport width (height) exceeds the content's preferred size, and if so, resizes the pane appropriately (see code below).
    It seems to me, however, that there ought to be a simpler way to achieve this.
    One slightly weird thing is that when the downsizing of the pane happens, the content can once be moved to the left by sliding the horizontal scrollbar, but not by clicking on the arrows. This causes one column of gray pixels to disappear and the rightmost column of the content to appear; subsequent actions on the scrollbar does not have any further effect. Likewise, the vertical scrollbar can also be moved up once.
    Also, I would like a java.awt.Frame containing such a restrictedly resizable scrollpane, such that the Frame cannot be resized by the user such that its inside is larger than the maximum size of the scrollpane. The difficulty I encountered with that is that setSize on a Frame appears to set the size of the window including the decorations provided by the window manager (fvwm2, if that matters), and I haven't been able to find anything similar to getViewportSize, which would let me find out the size of the area inside the Frame which is available for the scrollpane which the frame contains.
    Thanks in advance for hints and advice.
    Here's the code of the componentResized method:
      public void componentResized(java.awt.event.ComponentEvent e)
        java.awt.Dimension contentSize = this.content.getPreferredSize();
        this.content.setSize(contentSize);
        java.awt.Dimension viewportSize = getViewportSize();
        System.err.println("MaxSizeScrollPane: contentSize = " + contentSize);
        System.err.println("MaxSizeScrollPane: viewportSize = " + viewportSize);
        int dx = Math.max(0, (int) (viewportSize.getWidth() - contentSize.getWidth()));
        int dy = Math.max(0, (int) (viewportSize.getHeight() - contentSize.getHeight()));
        System.err.println("MaxSizeScrollPane: dx = " + dx + ", dy = " + dy);
        if ((dx > 0) || (dy > 0))
          java.awt.Dimension currentSize = getSize();
          System.err.println("MaxSizeScrollPane: currentSize = " + currentSize);
          setSize(new java.awt.Dimension(((int) currentSize.getWidth()) - dx, ((int) currentSize.getHeight()) - dy));
        System.err.println();
      }Best regards, Jan

  • VHD Size is Maximum Size Allowed Without Using All Space in OS

    Hello - I have a Hyper-V VM whose maximum size allowed is 700GB. Currently, the VHD file size is 700GB yet the OS is only using ~400GB (300GB free). Shouldn't the VHD size be about 400GB instead of 700? Every other VM I have checked matches the size being
    used in the OS.
    As I was typing this I think I answered my own question. This VM has a fixed size and all of the other VMs we have are dynamic. I assume this is why? It is a SQL server so I guess it is fixed for better performance. I didn't set this up
    Can I safely shrink the VHD down a little bit? When trying to get replicas of this VM, it keeps crashing the VM due to space limitations. It is on its own Cluster Disk but it only has a few GB free which is why I believe it is failing. How much free
    disk space is needed where the VHD is located in order for replication to work?
    This is our SQL server so I am a little cautious in what we do with it.
    Thanks for your help,
    Mike

    Hi Mike ,
    Based on my knowledge for vhd , when you delete a file then this file was not deleted on disk  thoroughly , just give it a deleted tag (the "old space" was not recycled until there is no new space for writing).
    I think you can not make it smaller via shrinking .
    Maybe you can try to compress the vhd file ( "edit disk..."  ), before you doing this please backup your VM first .
     BTW , it is recommended to use fixed disk for SQL server .

    That's between you and your internet service provider.  By the way, you posted to the 10.3 forum.  10.3 can't run on your MacBook Pro. Don't forget the following facts:
    b= bit
    B = Byte
    8 bits in a byte
    A typical DSL connection has 1 Mbps speed or 128 kBps speed.
    At that speed
    1 minute gives you 7.5 MB
    10 minutes gives you 75 MB
    100 minutes gives you 750 MB
    A typical cable connection can be 5 times faster although some are 30 times faster.
    A typical fiber connection is 15 times faster and some are 50 times faster.
    Ask what your speed is rated at.
