Organizer Help in Xi

Okay, here is what I am trying to do. I am ripping my CDs, simple enough. Here is my problem. I create a folder like Iron Maiden and I rip the Powerslave CD for example. It appears in the Iron Maiden folder as Powerslave. Once I open the Powerslave folder to access the songs, the songs are not in there by themselves but in another folder named Iron Maiden which I have to click open and there are all my songs.
I want the directory to be as follows:
Iron Maiden - Powerslave- All songs
I thought I had this set up right in the organizer but something has gone haywire.
I set the Recording properties to the directory or hard dri've where my music rips are, then direct it to the folder of the artist. I also set the same for the PC Library properties the same way.
Any direction here on how to remedy this situation would be appreciated.

In MediaSource Organizer, go to Tools->Settings->PC Music Library. Click on the Properties button to pop up the settings page whereby you can set the root directory of the default media folder, set the directory convention and set the file naming convention. Let us know if you can get it to work.

Project organization help needed

I work for a rather large health care company and we are just beginning our move from eGate to JCAPS. We have approximately 100 separate interfaces, each with an average of five eWays.
Our initial idea was to organize our JCAPS projects as follows:
Outer Project (equivalent to eGate schema)
Inner Project (equivalent to eGate eWay)
- collaboration
- connectivity map
- deployment profile
- any external files, schedulers, etc needed by the collaboration
Inner Project for OTD's
Inner Project for Queues and Topics
Inner Project for shared collaborations that are used by multiple projects (such as resending, journalling, etc)
My concern is if we make a change to a single project, when we go to export that project to our production system, we may be forced to export a lot more than we need.
I would like to know how others have organized their systems interfaces, and any issues they may have come up with.
Thank You
Steve

I would be wary of creating projects within projects.
The concept of project in JCAPS is nebulous.
Even though JCAPS allows you to nest projects within projects the nested projects are treated more like folders.
Like most other IDEs, projects are the ones created at root level.
Unlike most other IDEs JCAPS does not have the concept of project view and file view.
If you create an "Outer Project" and then inside it a bunch of "inner project" , JCAPS would treat the "Outer Project" as a project and all the inner projects as artifacts of this "Outer Project".
If any other project were to refer to any one of these "inner projects", then JCAPS will assume that this other project is dependent on the "outer project".
If you try to export this other project, it will export the whole "outer project" as a dependent project.
So, if possible, I would try to create all projects at root level especially if they are going to be referenced by other projects.
Use a flat structure rather than a hierarchical one. Use naming conventions to segregate and organize.
Instead of
ProjectA
ProjectA1
ProjectA2create
ProjectA_ProjectA1
ProjectA_ProjectA2
If this looks too cluttered you might want to consider branching to separate major projects
Also I would be careful of creating dependencies between projects.
Lets say you have a JCD which refers to an OTD in another shared project.
If somebody updates the OTD and creates a new version of the OTD, your JCD would automatically start referring to the new version.
Without your knowing a build will pick up the new OTD.
Of course if you know that a new version was created ,you can specify an older version of the OTD during a build.
Not so if you are editing the JCD. Here you will be stuck with the latest version.
This may or may not be what you want.
A better alternative would be to copy over the OTD to your project and use the local version.
Hope this helps.

Adobe Photoshop Express Organizer - help file?

I've recently started using the online Adobe Photoshop Express Organizer, but I can't seem to find a help file to assist in using it. I think I've figured most of it out, but I don't know what the difference is between "Album" and "Group Album." Has anyone seen a complete help file for Adobe Photoshop Express Organizer which might explain this, plus other questions I may have in the future??
Thanks!

Setting up a new Free Software Project, organizational help needed.

Hi
I need some help with a project I am working on.
I have been working on this project for some time now. I have written a program using JDK 6 and Eclipse.
The actual software is not the problem here. The actual problem, as I am starting to find out, is how to distribute this program.
I think I have organized the actual files incorrectly. Since I have been working on this program for some time now, its gotten a lot bigger then
I originally thought it would be. Also I have been using SVN and sourceforge, so I have been reluctent to make drastic changes to the layout of the
source code.
But I am starting to see that I need to adapt the source code to some standard if I am to either get other to help me or to release the program.
And here is where your help comes in.
I need to know how to organize my files.
I have organized the *.java files in a somewhat orderly fashion, but from what I understand most source code is organized into "src", "lib", ect folders.
This is what I need the help with.
My program uses some external jar files that contain some methods, functions and class I use.
I also have some images and icons used in the program.
There are also files that are created, written to and read from the program, which I need to keep.
What is the best way to organize these files and is there some sort of "standard of free software" out there?
I would appreciate any help on the matter.

Just a shot in the dark here...
Are you JARring your project when you make it into a binary? You can JAR it the same way with your source, as well. As for the folders that you are talking about, I'm not an Eclipse user, but doesn't the IDE organize your files into packages and such while you are working on a project?
My perspective comes from NetBeans. When I create a project, the IDE automatically creates an Ant file and also organizes the project into packages. For example, if I start a project called StripNewLines, my Main class will be located in a package called stripnewlines, which I can refactor later to something like net.mycompany.stripnewlines, for example. Then, when I need to include resources such as files or icons, I go into my file manager and simply create new folders under my project's source tree. For example, my project file tree may look something like:
+ StripNewLines/
+ dist/
+ lib/
+ StripNewLines.jar
+ README.TXT
+ src/
+net/
+ mycompany/
+ stripnewlines
+ Main.java
Once I get done adding my files and icons, it might look like this:
+ StripNewLines/
+ dist/
+ lib/
+ StripNewLines.jar
+ README.TXT
+ src/
+net/
+ mycompany/
+ stripnewlines/
+ Main.java
+ files/
+ LICENSE
+ README
+ art/
+ file-open.png
+ exit.png
+ new.png
Once I've added those files and icons to my file heirarchy in my file manager, NetBeans will automatically update the project and add the packages net.mycompany.files and net.mycompany.art. Then I just have to access them by their paths to use them in my application.
Once you've gotten your application completed and compile it to a jar file, you can drop to a shell and use the `jar` command to "pack up" your source tree. By doing it this way, you have a single file for download as a binary and another single file for download as a source archive. Obviously, if you are using libraries, you will need to zip up or tarchive your lib/ folder and JAR file for the distributions, so that your external libraries will also be available to your application on another machine.
Anyhow, just some thoughts. I do hope this helps you a little and doesn't confuse you more.
Cheers,

Deleting Photos off Organizer - help!

I've just deleted hundreds of photos off my desktop from My Pictures, which took about 2 hours, presuming that that process would also delete the photos from the Hard Drive, and thus also at the same time from Photoshop Elements 12( on both Organizer and Editor). Yet all of those photos I’ve just deleted from My Pictures (and again, presumably from the Hard Drive), are still showing up in Elements 12!!! I am new to Elements, and quite frankly this is very frustrating. So, my question is - Why do these photos still show up in Organizer if I’ve deleted them from My Pictures (again, presumably also from the Hard Drive)?? I guess I could do more research on this question to find an answer, but I’ve put too much time into this already, so am hoping for someone who REALLY knows the answer – Thx!

Next time I will do so, as you suggest, and thank you for the reply. So is there anything I can do NOW to remove the images that I've deleted from the Harddrive, but still show up on Organizer? Those photos I presume are NO LONGER on the Hard Drive, and again, I can't figure out why the images are showing up in Organizer. I have started reading something about a reconnect, which may help with removing those images. Or, any possible other suggestions?
My goal is to end up wit the same selectively deleted photos that I deleted from MY Pictures and get them deleted off of organizer, without, hopefully, having to go thru and selectively re-delete them again in Organizer. Besides, if did try that to go back and duplicate selecting and deleting individual images, I am not sure I could select the SAME images for deletion that I did in the MY Pictures deletion.

Elements 10 Organizer help Please

Just installed Adobe Elements 10 Organizer and Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 and did all updates.
In Organizer I would like to know the reason "Copy Files on Import" is grayed out and how to get it active so I can uncheck it. No Photos imported from my hard disk yet.
I think I just want to import the thumbnails and leave the originals where they are.
Thanks for any help.
John

Elements does not physically import photos. It simply makes links to the images on your hard drive and creates a thumbnail preview in the Organizer.

Premiere Elements - Organizer Help/Question.

I have another posting out here but maybe I am not being clear enough so I will pose the question another way.
I have a .mp4 file which contains 60 short pieces (happens to be football highlights) all strung together as one contiguous video.
What I am simply trying to do is to break it down for making a handful of highlight videos, each with a different angle. (ex Offense, Defense, Rushing, Passing, etc)
This is the basic outline of how I logically see it happening. Problem is that I am can't figure out step 2:
1) Cut it down into 60 individual videos (which I did and currently have in my project) using the Split/Clip functions of Elements.
2) Save the pieces off as individual video clips so that they can be rated/ranked/categorized in Organizer.
3) Polish/edit the individual pieces.
4) Organize and assemble the various videos using the clips.
For the life of me I can't get
a) Elements to allow me to save of my projects as individual clips.
and
b) Get the Organizer to allow me to bring my clips in.
I am using PE 11.
Does this make sense? Does anyone have any insight to offer?

Ok, sounds good.
I will just have to squirrel away copies of my project then build my different flavors the hard way.
I may be look at other tools before I resort to that. I just hate to go through the headache of breaking it all down again but in the long haul could be worth it.
This just seems like the hard way to go about this task but then again I am a software guy and think in terms of reusable components. Maybe that mentality just doesnt work for video.
Oh well, thanks to all of you for your help.

Photoshop Elements 12 organizer Help Please

I have downloaded all my scrapbooking grahics into the organizer and it's been fine up until yesterday. After I scrapbooked a couple layouts I went back into the organizer to use an element again and instead of it showing the graphic it shows an hourglass filling up. This has never happened before. So today I went back in thinking everything has restored itself but all the graphics I used yesterday still show hourglasses instead of the graphic. Now if I click on the hourglass it will show the graphic but what good is that? I have thousands of graphics in there and the rest are fine. So what I just did was delete the kits that it affected out of the organizer. ( Some kits have maybe 25 elements) I should have just deleted the actual element but no stupid me deleted the whole kit. What I was attempting to do was just reinstall them right back into the organizer. Now when I brought the kits back into the organizer, every darn item is an hourglass instead of displaying what it actually is. Please does anyone know what the heck happened and how I can correct it???????

Exporting my photo’s from iPhoto to the desk top and then importing to Photoshop Organizer 11, ALL photo’s show “Missing File” icon (?) in the top left corner when I eliminate photo’s from iPhoto. Why do I have to keep photo’s in iPhoto? Is there a workaround?
If I import iPhoto photo’s directly within Organizer I loose photo information, ie, Captions, Titles

Andaleeb, Thanks for your response. Based on your response I did the following:
Exported photo’s from iPhoto to the desktop with “Title and keywords” checked, and in the File Name “Use Title” selected.
After the export I deleted those photo’s in iPhoto.
Imported photo’s from desktop to the Organizer.
Selected, Reconnect all missing Files even at this time the missing file was not there. Got the message “No missing files to reconnect”
I then eliminated the photo’s from the desktop and got the missing file icon. I then selected, Reconnect all missing Files and the search began with no results.
In the information panel for those photo’s the location states:
Mac HD/Users/barrykniff/Desktop/
So as I see it, for Organizer I have to keep the photo’s on the desktop.

Library re-organization help needed!

After many attempts I was unable to import my iPhoto Library into Aperture. What I ended up doing was to import my iPhoto Library event by event using the import using the iPhoto Browser.
I was able to import my whole library this way but I think I may have made a mistake with the way I did the importing. I created a new empty Project and imported each related event into a separate Album within that project. After re-reading the manual a few times, I realized that each event should be its own Project and these projects should be moved into folders to group them.
What is the proper way to organize my images? For example, I made several trips to China and each trip had photos from different sightseeing excursions. How should I best organize these photos (using Folders, Projects and Albums) and how can I change my current setup to achieve this without starting over with importing from iPhoto?
I hope someone can shed some light on this issue.
Thanks, Mike

If you images have the correct date on them assuming your camera's clock was accurately set, you'll never really be in bad shape. Even if images from multiple trips ever wind up in the same folder or project.
There's really no wrong way to do this and nothing that you can't change later, BUT...
First off, whatever reorganizing you may eventually want to do with the original files stored on your hard drive, and the folders they're in, make sure that you don't try to do it your self thinking that aperture will know what you did. Even though there are ways that you can tell Aperture later what you did and how to find the photos its kinda awkward and convoluted.
Make sure that you tell Aperture what you want to do and let Aperture do the actual moving.
How do you have he master images currently stored? Did you originally import them into the iphoto library as duplicates? Or was iPhoto able to "reference" them in their original location?
Do you want them to be referenced in Aperture or imported into Apertuer's library as "managed"?
I had major bug and glitch problems a few years ago when I originally tried to import the photos into Aperture as "managed". So I kept them referenced.

Elements Organizer Help | Import photos from your camera or card reader

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/getting-started/import-camera-or-card-reader.htm l

Did you try the "create subfolder" option in the Adobe Photo Downloader? If you choose the option to create subfolders using "shot date[mm yy]" I think it would solve the problem you are discribing. And in the case when nothing works, you can always choose the advanced button and manually select the photos you want to import

Elements 10 Organizer Rename Function Not Working Fully

Hi Forum
Have just upgraded from Elements 9 to Elements 10 and used the File -> Rename function to rename 3000 files with a new Base name beginning 'Base' the process reported it had completed and did not provide any additional messages - but checking the result not all files were renamed and a large number were left behind with the original Base name. Any suggestions?
Regards
David

Hi Jon
Lastly the function 'Export' which solves the Rename issue but does not export Album tags which are themselves Key Word Tags as I used the Key Word tags to create the Albums is sloppy from a programming point of view. The first two issues were present in PSE 9 and I was sort of hoping they would have been fixed by now in PSE 10 and they are not. David
There is no such thing as 'album tags'.
Tags are keywords attached to a file to enable easier search. You know that tags can be read by many softwares including Windows explorer. That is, provided the tags are not only kept in the database, but also written to the files, which you can do if you want from the Organizer.
To give you another explanation about albums (also called collections) than the one in the Organizer help, I'll simply define an album as a list of files in a given order. There are many way to implement albums in various softwares created around a database like the Organizer, Lightroom, Aperture and a lot of others. Each one is a particular feature of the database to keep the lists and orders. The general rule is that albums can't be read by other software, with the exception of Lightroom with Elements catalogs (from Adobe, based on the same sqlite database). You can't either store the information about what you call 'album tags' in each individual file : there is already no clear standard in the way metadata like tags or captions are kept in a file.
So, there is no bug nor issues in the Organizer or in any other software because albums can't be saved within the files.
But...
There is a workaround suggested in the prior posts.
To say which files are in an album, you only have to use a standard keyword, for instance say you want a 'Christmas' album, you create a standard keyword : 'isinachristmasalbum' and assign it to each member of the album.
When you retrieve the exported files by reimporting them, the tag will enable you to select all the files of the album and enter them in a a new album.
The missing part of the album, the order of the files will be lost.
But...
If you have renamed the files of the album with the starting text + order number, the information will be stored in the file names themselves!
By the way, if your concern is not about file order, but files count, I don't think albums are the right tool for you.
