Moving folder in Organizer corrupts contents

I just got Photoshop Elements for my wife, and she spent quite a bit of time renaming & tagging hundreds of our photos.
We just discovered that several folders of the images she'd been working on were corrupted... none of the jpegs were able to be opened in any software package I tried.
Luckily, all these files are on a zfs fileshare on my storage server, and I had a somewhat recent snapshot we were able to clone & use to restore the bad files.
And then it happened again, while I was watching her work -- she got done re-tagging a bunch of pictures in a subfolder, then in the Elements organizer application moved the subfolder into another one for "To Be Printed" -- and poof, all corrupt again.
Like I said above, the files are on a mapped network drive, shared from an OpenSolaris box via CIFS to my wifes laptop running Vista. It wasn't an issue of the file extension... the actual JPEG headers were corrupt. I haven't gone into the file with a hex editor to find out [but if it would help Adobe fix it I can repeat the process & send them some of the bad files for analysis].  And I'm very certain it wasn't a bad disk... zfs is one of the safest most uncorruptible filesystems available, and the data is stored on the equivalent of a RAID configuration. But even it can't fix data if the data it's told to write has logical errors introduced at a higher layer.
More than likely it's a peculiar (just speculating here) combination of the way Adobe Elements moves folders and the way Vista maps CIFS drives. I'm still Googling/Binging the problem, but haven't turned up anything yet. If I wasn't able to reliably reproduce it, I'd just call it a random quirk and have forgotten about it by now... but this is a bit odd. And it may impact the way I manage storage, as now I'll have look at how I persist my snapshots due to the uncertainty of when the corruption would be introduced.
Has anyone run into this before? Any thoughts/solutions? I have to say I'm very disappointed -- I had done quite the marketing job to sell her on using this software versus manually working on everything... only to find out we run the risk of losing irreplaceable photos every time she works in it.

Hi,
If your catalog is corrupted you can repair it through File>Catalog , select the corrupted catalog and choose Repair. Hope that will help to great extent.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}

Also in order to avoid running into the risk of losing your work permanently you can choose to maintain an online account on www.Photoshop.com and use the back-up Sync feature of Elements Organizer to maintain a backup of your files, albums and tags to be able to recover them from you online account if you were to lose these permanently from your Desktop. You can sign in to the account from the Organizer and enable Backup/Sync through Edit>Preferences>Backup Sync Preferences.
Thanks.

  • Syncing a moved folder is not bringing back all the photos to Lightroom

    I have moved and renamed a folder in the external harddrive. Syncing that moved folder in lightroom is not working in bringing back all the photos to Lightroom - Although all the photos exist in that folder as I have confirmed through windows explorer.
    Another Option: If I choose "import photos to this folder option" in LR and browse to the source to that folder - the missing photos are shown as shaded back and the import button (bottom right corner) is not highlighted. Therefore I cannot select these missing photos and hence cannot import them to the folder.
    PLEASE ADVISE!

    In the Folders Panel, the original folder should be listed with a "?" mark, because Lightroom can no longer find it. Right-click on it, select "Find Missing Folder", then browse to and select the renamed folder in its new location.
    Note....these type of problems will continue to happen if you continue to rename and/or move folders or files outside of Lightroom. Do it using Lightroom and no such problems will arise.

  • Is there a way to download a folder or all the contents of a folder?

    Is there a way to download a folder or all the contents in a folder? I uploaded all the photos into my Creative Cloud but now I am out of the office and working on another computer so I need all those images so I can create a DVD Slide show for A&M. I need all the images, over 100 of them. Is there a way I can download this entire folder or at least all the images in the folder at one time? All I can find for download is to download each image separately one at a time. I can't even select them all and say download every image selected. I don't want to sit here for hours downloading one image at a time, that's just ridiculous.
    Help Please!

    Ken,
    Just wanted let you know the answer was not helpful but it was correct. Thank you for your time in answering me.

  • Can you make a folder and it's contents temporarily "invisible"---sort of?

    Can I make a folder and it's contents, temporarily invisible? I don't mean I don't want to see it. I mean I want to make it such that if an automated process was scanning my computer, it temporarily wouldn't see that folder and it's contents.
    For instance, let's say I have a folder on an external firewire drive containing video files. And I'm going to run a batch process or automation that says: "Look at everything on that external drive and move it to another designated location"...but I don't want it to move one folder. And I have several folders on the external drive and I need to keep making some of the folders "visible" to the process or "invisible".
    I know I can physically move the individual folders to another location temporarily, run the process, and then copy them back...but I'm trying to determine if there is anything built into OSX 10.6 that
    lets you identify a folder and temporarily make it and it's contents "invisible" in the sense that I described above.
    To be clear, I don't need the folder to actually disappear...I just need it to be "jumped over" or ignored by any batch processes that would be scanning the external drive, and after I run the process, I want to make it "visible" again.
    Thanks in advance for any input.

    One question about this....I notice that there are three READ/WRITE options:

    Do I need to change all three, or just EVERYONE to WRITE.
    You normally wouldn't want to change the rights to your name in a situation like this. What you'd want is to have the other app logon to your computer with a different username, (you have to create the additional user in System Preferences,) then change the privileges for that username. This would eliminate the need for you to have to change the settings all the time.
    In addition, if you make a mistake, you could prevent any access by your username, which means you'd have to logon as some other administrative user in order to fix your username's privileges. This is why I said I wouldn't recommend this as a first choice.
    And are there any keyboard shortcuts for this?
    No, but I imagine you could create an Applescript to do this. But as I said above, if you have the process use a different username, then set the appropriate privileges for that username, you wouldn't need to change the rights all the time. Just set them once the first time.

    We have done toleration testing on firefox version 5 thru 6 and haven't got an issue with our website generating pdf files for our users.

  • Assign specific metadata for folder structures in the Content Server

    Assign specific metadata for folder structures in the Content Server
    Hi to all,
    I working with Oracle Content Server 10g and Desktop Integration Suite and I will like to know how can I restrict or enable some specific metadatas from the default metadata, for differents content folder. This is different from the function: Information Field Inherit Configuration.
    tnks!

    I am a bit unclear about your question:
    - do you ask about metadata assigned to folders, or
    - do you ask about metadata assigned to items in folders?
    Starting from #2, if you forget about folders, there is standard functionality that you can use to restrict, enable, ... metadata for an item. Read this chapter: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/doc.1111/e10978/c04_metadata.htm#sthref288 to get full details.
    I am not sure whether you can use anything of this functionality (profiles, option lists, etc.) when you check in a new folder. I doubt it, though. The logic of folders is slightly different - whilst e.g. profiles correspond to "content item", you don't find such a correspondence in folder's hierarchy (why a folder could not contain various content types, for instance?)
    Last question is, from where you want to use this functionality - even for items. In 10g, Desktop Integration Suite's functionality was rather limited (often it was supposed that a user will just 'throw' an item to a folder, and metadata will be inherited from folders). You might have to upgrade your DIS to 11g; it should work even with 10g Content Server, but make sure you verify it before mass upgrade. In 11g, DIS should offer profiles, etc. with full capabilities.

  • How to organize the content of MANIFEST.MF

    Most of the jar files contain a file named META-INF/MANIFEST.MF, and it provides some information about the class in the jar files, but when I execute the code below, I can't output all of the jar file name in the eclipse project's classpath.
    import java.net.URL;
    import java.util.Enumeration;
    public class TestClassLoader {
    public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
    Enumeration<URL> en = TestClassLoader.class.getClassLoader().getResources("META-INF");
    while (en.hasMoreElements()) {
    URL metaInf = en.nextElement();
    System.out.println(metaInf.toExternalForm());
    So I want to know how to organize the content of MANIFEST.MF file to output the file name

    getResources doesn't do what you apparently think it does. The resource path still has to be an exact match, but getResources allows for the possibility that the same resource path may occur multiple times on the class path.
    You could use it to access all the MANFEST.MF files on the classpath but you'd need to full resource path "META-INF/MANIFEST.MF"
    The code you've written doesn't access the contents of the manifests, of course. To access the contents of manifests use java.util.jar.Manifest objects.

  • Corrupt Content Error after Upgrade to 7.0.1

    Ever since I upgraded to 7.0.1., I've been having problems with multiple websites generated a Corrupted Content Error when I try to load them. I NEVER had this before I allowed Firefox to update! I've double checked my version and it is, indeed, 7.0.1.
    This is what the message looks like:
    Corrupted Content Error

    Most frequently, I get this error when trying to play an online game, Tribal Wars, and attempting to load the initial game overview page. As soon as that page starts to load, I get this:
    http://en58.tribalwars.net/login.php?sid=ff6d10ff22d2&secret=0&mobile_no_force=0&t=9154041
    If I click on TRY AGAIN, I then get this:

    If I click on TRY AGAIN, I then get this:
    http://en58.tribalwars.net/game.php?screen=overview_villages&intro&t=9154041
    At that point, the page finally loads. Again, I get this "Corrupted Content Error" with numerous pages now and it is quite infuriating.
    Furthermore, I'm getting DNS lookup errors right and left whereas before, I did not. Other than the update to Firefox, nothing else has changed. So this may be the result of that update, or I may have yet ANOTHER problem with Hughesnet. This I have not resolved and its like looking for a friggen needle in a haystack.
    I'm totally perplexed. Whereas I've LOVED Firefox, all of a sudden I'm rethinking that and beginning to consider scrapping it for something else.
    Any assistance here would be appreciated.

    I get this on firefox. I get this on waterfox. I get this on nightly. I don't get it on chrome. I don't get it on internet explorer. I don't get it on comodo dragon. I don't get it on arora. I don't get it on konqueror...... Anyone noticing a pattern here?
    I'm willing to admit that it's probably something to do with my isp server, so Mozilla can feel holier than thou about it, but if that's the way they insist on going, I suggest that the next time they upgrade, they call their browser Canute.
