Problem with Organizer

I want to organize photo order in album, but when I create and select album I only have op
tion to sort by date.  "Album Order" does not appear.  Am I do something wrong?

Thank you for responding - I appreciate it!  I did figure it out - the trick is you need to
"show all".  If any keytags or sort options are selected it overrides the
album arranging.

  • TWO problems with "Organizer" -- How to solve?

    I am running PSE-4 on a WIN-XT PC.
    I upgraded a little while back from PSE-3 and had, so far, only worked with the Editor. (BTW, it's nice to see that Adobe finally fixed some very nasty bugs that plagged PSE-3 Editor, like the "jumping image, etc., as well as an improved speed.)
    I needed (and still need) to convert 17 pix that are in a directory on their own into High-Quality "12" JPG files. Nothing should be simpler...
    Well, first thing I realized is that, apparently, I can NOT do that in PSE-4's Editor. I had to go to the "Organizer" to try that. (Or am I missing something here?) And that's how I bumped into two crazy problems...
    PROBLEM #1:
    From the 17 PSD files (all of them contain several layers), only 12 did show up as Thumnails in the central pane.
    Why is that?
    Where did the 5 missing ones get stuck?
    HOW can I get ALL 17 files to show up in the thumbnail pane so that I can select them for a "batch-conversion" to JPG?
    PROBLEM #2:
    While in "Organizer", all I see below each thumbnail is a date! So, if I have a shoot of, say, 100 pix on a same day, I end up with 100 pix having the same "name" -- useless and insane! (IF I wanted ALL the pix shot on a given date/day, I would only want these specific pix show up in the pane, EACH with its own specific name!)
    I checked the various "defaults" that may effect the results and they seem OK. However, given the incredible lack of intuitiveness (!)this "Organizer" module has, I may have missed something somewhere or plain not figured out a twist somewhere to make the files' actual NAME show up under ech thumbnail.
    Any suggestion(s) to make these file NAMES appear under each thumbnail?
    THANKS!
    Duke

    Barb,
    Problem #2:
    You guessed right -- BINGO... and a big THANKS!
    Increasing the size of the thumbnails did the trick.. the Names appeared below the Dates.
    (I still am shocked that Adobe would leave such a "shortcoming" in that program. From a programming point of view, there are at least two easy ways to go around the "small space" problem for the fields below thumbnails having a small size... I guess we all will have to wait a couple more releases of that program to see that quirk fixed.)
    Ward,
    Problem #1:
    No luck here. Increasing the thumbnails to the max (or anywhere inbetween) did make the 5 missing file appear.
    So, I made one more File>Get photos>From file folder. Same results.
    So, I looked at the list of "files/items that were NOT imported". Interstingly enaough, ALL 17 files were listed!
    Now, for ALL of them, the "Reason" given "why" these 17 files/items weren't imported is that, according to "Organizer", "Files already exist in the catalog". And that sent me thinking about some weird possibilities...
    Somehow, that catalog has a lot of files that, from what I could recognized and figure out, were "acquired" with the "Organizer" of PSE-3. What I see in the pane where the thumbnails are is a succession of directories with some of their pictures displayed as thumbnails. And now I am wondering:
    Could it be that "Organizer" is so conceived that it doesn't accept/put a same file TWICE in the "Catalog"?
    (I'll go -- slowly -- through the hundreds of pix in that Catalog to see IF I can spot these exact same five pix in some other directory that has already been acquired)
    IF the answer turns out to be "yes, a file can only be ONCE in a catalog, no matter in what directory", then I probably will be going back to IrfanView to shuffle and convert pictures on ma system. Its logic and straightforwardness for dealing with files are a model of common sense.
    Do you know IF "Organizer" has such a 'rule' that a file can only be once in a catalog?
    From what I can see so far, I'll batch-convert the 12 files that show up as thumbnails in "Organizer" and singly convert the 5 others in "Editor".
    Thanks for the feedback!

  • PSE7 Problem with Organizer - Folder Location Display

    I keep encountering a wierd error and don't know why or how it is happening.  I like to use this view I file pictures on my hard this way and this matches those files and then I can tag, make an album, etc.  Sometimes the pictures that are in a file (on my hard drive) will for some reason (or after some event) not show up in the Folder Locations display with the same file name.  Make sense?   They will show in the file name below the folder they should be in and so on.  For example I have 400 pictures from a recent trip to Trinidad in a Trinidad 2009 folder on my hard drive.  When I had put these in to PSE7, they showed up in the catalog view in Trinidad 2009 because I made it a watch folder.  Now they show up in another folder, the one below it.  It is like every folder shifted down.  I understand they are still in the same location on my hard drive.  There seems to be some bug or error in PSE7 organizer.  Can anyone help with this?

    Folder Location view is quite buggy; see this FAQ:

  • HELP ME: PROBLEMS WITH ORGANIZER...

    My editing workspaces are working just fine, however, my organizer will not open (keeps saying "not responding"). If I reinstall the program, will I lose the pictures that are in the organizer that I haven't saved to my comp yet?

    Not responding could be due to many things. Could you inform us of what version PSE you are running, and what operating system? Also, try this: http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshop-elements-faq.htm#_Troubleshooting_Organizer_ crashes
    You do not lose your photos or catalog by uninstalling. Pictures that are in the organizer but you haven't saved them yet ... that doesn't make sense becaus the Organizer doesn't contain copies of your photos (just small thumbnails), and you don't have to save them for the Organizer to remember them.
    I have to disagree with pumphouse7 ... The organizer does not track photos that are already on your computer ... it only knows about the photos you have imported into the Organizer, and doesn't know about any other photos on your computer.

  • Multiple problems with PSE10 Organizer

    I have Photoshop Elements 10 that I am using with Windows XP with Service Pack 3, a Pentium 4 CPU with 3 GHz, 2 GB of RAM and 48.6 GB of free disk space. I have had multiple problems with Organizer since I started using it.
    When I first got PSE10, I imported 8 years of my photos into one catalog in Organizer. I'm not sure how many images were included in this catalog but from what I've read, there's no limit to the number of images that can be placed in a catalog.
    Question: Is there any limit to the number of images that can be put into one catalog?
    Catalog A
    Problem 1) People recognition didn't work. When I tried to find people for tagging, the feature didn't work. After researching the problem online, I found that others who had the same problem solved it by rebuilding the catalog a few hundred images at a time. I deleted the original catalog with all of my images and created a new catalog with just 800 images from this year. Then, people recognition worked, and I was able to tag people. The only other feature that I have used in Catalog A is that I have edited a few images to improve exposure. I have not rated images, stacked them, renamed them or created albums. With this catalog, the Organizer and the Editor still work together so when I select a photo in Organizer to fix, the Editor opens up with the photo for editing like it is supposed to do.
    Catalog B
    I created another catalog that had about 900 different images from a European tour. I deleted some of those images so there are now 760 images in this catalog. At first, all the Organizer features seemed to work fine in this catalog. I was able to pull photos from Organizer to fix in the Editor. I rated all the images, stacked and renamed some photos and created several albums under an album category.
    Problem 2) A couple of days ago, the Organizer and the Editor stopped working together. Now, when I select a photo in Organizer and click on Fix, Edit, the Editor window comes up but the photo does not appear in Editor. The only way I can get an image into Editor is to pull it directly into Editor. Then, when I want to save it as a Version Set I have to choose File> Organize Open File in order to save the image as a version set.
    Question: How do I get the Organizer & Editor to work together again?
    Problem 3) The Exif data has disappeared on quite a few of the images in Catalog B even though the Complete radio button is highlighted under the Properties panel. Some of those images were never edited or re-saved.
    Question: How do I get the Exif data back into Properties.
    Problem 4) Yellow question marks continue to appear on the top left of some images even though these images have not been moved. The Organizer searches for the "missing file" and finds it quickly but why is it "missing"? I have gone through the albums in this catalog, completed the missing file searches on all the images so that no yellow question marks appear and when I go back to the catalog the next time I find the yellow question marks are there again!
    Question: Why does Organizer think the files are missing? Why isn't the file location remaining the same?
    Problem 5) When I re-opened Catalog A with the general 2012 images, I got a message that my watched folder had new photos to import. When I clicked on ok, the next window brought up 3 photos that were already in Catalog B of my European tour that were taken in September. Somehow, the Date Created and the Dated modified had been changed from 9/12 to 11/12 so the Organizer thought they were new images when they were not.
    Questions: Shouldn't the Date Created remain constant?  The Date Created does not seem to represent the date the picture was taken, so what does that date represent? How can I keep the date created from being changed?
    Both Catalogs
    All of the images in both catalogs show creation dates that are later than the date modified, (example: date created of 6/12 and a date modified of 3/12).
    Question: How is it possible that the date created is later than the date modified?

    Hey Paysonite,
    A lot of questions hmm!!! Let me try to answer few of them.
    Question: Is there any limit to the number of images that can be put into one catalog?
    Ans: No, you can import as many images in catalog you want. Just to add, as the size of catalog grows, Organizer's perfromance will be affected.
    Question: Why does Organizer think the files are missing? Why isn't the file location remaining the same?
    Ans: As you mentioned in your comments, you have deleted some files (i assume from explorer). But these deleted files are still present in Organizer. Since the deletion happened outside the organizer, so Organizer is unaware of the deletion. So when organizer tries to read the files (which were deleted), Organizer is unable to find then and thus thinks that files are missing.
    Questions: Shouldn't the Date Created remain constant?  The Date Created does not seem to represent the date the picture was taken, so what does that date represent? How can I keep the date created from being changed?
    Ans: Date created represents the date on which the files was created on your files system (or into OS). It is not date when the images was shot (actual shot date is Date time Original in Organizer).
    Question: How is it possible that the date created is later than the date modified?
    Ans: A simple way to do it is-Suppose you have an image which was brought/copied on July (i am explaining this with the help of month only. Assume date to be 1st and year to 2012). Now change the system date to August. Edit this image in Editor (without creating a version set for easy illustration). Now date created is July and date modified is Aug.
    Copy this fine on flash drive/pen drive. Delete the original file from windows. Change the system date to Sept. Now copy the file in windows and see its properties. It has Date created as Sept and date modified as Aug, which answers you question.
    I am unable to fully understand your remaining questions. Please elaborate.
    Also please let me know if you need more info with above answers.

  • Problems opening organizer 10

    I have a mac and I have just  upgrated from element 8 to 10 and I have now problems with organizer. I can open element but when I click on the organizer buttom it seems to start but suddenly it shut down. In the raw converter I cannot find all the advanced functionalities I had earlier. And I also wonder why I had bridge in version 8 and now it is organizer (wich I know from an previsus version when I had windows). Is Organizer better than bridge today?
    Linda/denmark

      Bridge is no longer supported Mac OSX. Organizer is a data-base but you can also use iPhoto if preferred.
     

  • Problem with track order (ID3 tags) when transfering from ZENcast Organizer = Vision:M 3

    Hi there, I am using ZENcast Organizer V.2.00.4 and my Zen Vision:M's firmware version is V..6.0e
    Okay, I have a time consuming problem with the way my podcasts are organized on my player. When i download my podcast from ZENcast Organizer everything is neatly organized. By that i mean that the tracks are positioned in the order in which they were released by the radioshow. Let me just give you a picture : [IMG]ttp://img530.imageshack.us/img530/4476/zencastbv4.jpg[/IMG]you can see that after the 27th comes the 28th and the 29th etc. That is also the way i would want the files to be played on my player, but unfortunately they are not.
    Here is a pic of what the order looks like on my player after i have transfered some of the podcasts . Since there are no ID3 tags concerning track number, the player seems to sort the files alphabetically, which is a hassle for me as i have to search through my tracks each time I would like to listen to the following show.
    The way that I have dealt with it until now is to download the tracks with ZENcast Organizer and then add the track number information with Media Monkey and then upload them to the player via Zencast Organizer. That is a lengthy and annoying process and since i have missed the show (due to my new work) for 4 month now, i have a lot of files that i must edit.
    So I was just wondering if there is an easier method? I was thinking in the lines of a plugin for ZENcast Organizer that would add track number information? I wouldn't care if it numbers them 2 3 4 or 2 22 23 24 just as long as they come in the chronologically right order when i play them.

    I did some testing and discovered that ZENcast Organizer indeed does know how to sort the files on my player so that they are played in the right order - under the transfer you just have to check the box which makes ZENcast Organizer convert the music (mp3) files into videofiles as shown in the picture: http://img50.imageshack.us/img50/439...ransferar5.jpg
    This makes my player play them in the right order as shown here:
    But i do not want player to be spending a huge amount of unnecessary power on showing a screen I am not going to be looking at.... my podcast is a radio show, there is nothing to LOOK at, literally.
    Why on earth does ZENcast not change the filename when i choose to download the shows in their nati've mp3 form but only when I convert them to video?

  • I have a problem with Photoshop Elements 11 Organizer

    When I load images from my camera or a folder from e:\ drive into an existing or new e:\drive folder, Organizer catalogues them in an i:\ drive.
    I don't actually have an i:\ drive and when the images are "missing". Organizer starts a seach to try and reconnect the image and when I try to direct the reconnect back to e:\drive abd this does not work.
    My whole catalogue system is now a mess.
    I tried rebuilding the catalogue from scratch but the above problem continues (e:\ drive becomes i:\ drive in oeganizer) and the images cannot be found.
    Is this a bug with Elements 11 Organizer?
    Is there a fix from Adobe that I'm not aware of?
    Is this also a problem with Elements 12?
    Are there any other alternatives?
    I did not have this issue with eralier versions of Photoshop and to date 90 forum members have viewed this without suggesting a solution.

  • Problem With Elements 10 Organizer Showing Wrong Files in Folders (In Folder View)

    I just got started using Elements 10 on Windows XP and have had some problems with the Organizer. Once it was installed and had cataloged all my photos, I made sure to only move files and folders to different locations from within Organizer. However, now it seems to have lost track of which photos are in which folder. It will "remember" that there are 3 photos in a folder (in Folder View) and only show three photos in that folder, but they will be 3 random photos from a different location. Opening that item shows that thumbnail and referenced file are the same, so it isn't just a thumbnail problem. And looking in the actual folder with Windows Explorer shows that right photos. I'm not sure if I should run an Optimize or Repair on the catalog or if there is something else I can do to fix the problem. I don't need to use Folder View too often, but sometimes I do and I use it to reorganize the actual locations of files. Not sure what would happen if I did it now (with the obvious catalog confusion).
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks,
    torreyindy

    Image size.  I have been scanning old 35mm images.  Any image greater than about 8100 pixels causes thumbnails to fail - this sounds like being around 2 to the power of 23 but what a really odd combinatin that is.
    8100 pixels? All of my photos are larger than that, and I don't have this problem. Do you mean 8100 pixels on a side? There is a known limitation in PSE that photos above a certain pixel size on a side cannot be displayed in the Organizer. I no longer remember what that size is, perhaps someone else can chime in. Scanning your images to be 8100 pixels on a side would be overkill for me; however maybe for you its an important thing to do.
    I have about 10,000 photos in the catalog but need to load up about another 5,000 historic images, and we take about 1,500 images per annum.
    This is not a problem for PSE.
    I have played with databases, so if i can get into the organizer database (at least to do backups), ideally with Access, that would be brilliant.  Any suggestions?
    If you are going to play with the database through Acess, I think you will fail. I believe that PSE uses SQLite as its database, so you have to use SQLite to view the contents. If you are going to do this, work only on a copy of the database. As this is a long-standing bug in PSE (since at least PSE6), and no one that I know of has found a workaround, and people have reported that the rest of PSE behaves as if the photos are where they are expected to be, my guess is that the bug is in the way PSE displays the photo location in folders. And if that's the case, that the database is correct and its only the display that is incorrect, then there's really nothing you can do to fix that; monkeying around with the database itself won't help.
    whereas I had complete confidence in Adobe products being a long time Photoshop fan, I am now taken aback, so any help would be much appreciated.
    I agree with you, this is a shame that PSE has this problem and it has gone unfixed since PSE6. Your choices are:
    use tags and captions and notes to organize in Thumbnail view, and not use Folder Location View
    stop using Organizer, use your operating system to browse your folders, only use the PSE Editor
    switch to Lightroom, which has a quality Organizer (called the "Library Module") that doesn't seem to have this particular bug, and in general seems very solid, behaves well and is relatively bug free. (Lightroom 3 currently on sale in the vicinity of $79 (USD) as the anticipation is that Lightroom 4 will be released soon)
    switch to other organizing software, there are many, but I make no recommendations as I have tried only PSE and Lightroom

  • Organization problems with 2011 updates so all these hints I'm getting from 2006 aren't going to help because I knew how to drag my songs to playlists last week.

    Organization problems with this months update!  
    I was the neighborhood Itunes "expert" till the recent update.  I have read and read the help and I cannot drag my songs to from music playllist to "marathon" playlist.
    AND what is that annoying blue selector bar doing???? 
    I need to run at 5 a.m. .... why why why did they make such big changes.  I have a 100+ songs I  bought tongiht.  Now I'm stuck. 
    I'm 40. and I don't have time to social network on Itunes.  The children may have time but I'm the one with the money so I decide where they purchase their songs and what brand of phone we will select.
    Forgive me.  I am really upset because I have been using this program for years and now I have a chance for 4 hours of sleep and Itunes is trying to be Facebook.  I don't want to ping.  Social networking is a saturated field.  Apple missed the boat.  They need to move on.  I social network a lot but NOT where I am spending my money.
    Uggggg

    I'm not sure I actually spotted a question above. Ah got it now.
    The usual playlist mistake is to try and drop tracks onto a smart playlist, but I assume you're aware of that one.
    Can't say I've noticed any problems making playlists but the 10.2.2.12 build does have some issues with the physical organising of files. Perhaps there are some other quirks that have yet to gain attention. Either way you may benefit from downloading the latest build - iTunes 10.2.2.14 - but you need to download it manually from http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ (scroll down for 64-bit links if relevant)
    For reasons beyond our ken the Apple download site, and it seems Apple Software Update, ignore the minor revision number. If you check for updates when running 10.2.2.12 you will be told that 10.2.2 is the latest version of iTunes, and so won't be offered an update.
    Once you've updated disabling and then enabling the "Keep iTunes Media folder organised" option will tidy up any files that are still in your download folder.

  • WIN/Vista, PSE 7.0:  Organizer problems with dates

    Im working with our scanned photos now, so there is no EXIF data and the only dates are the scanned date and any later corrections in Photoshop CS3 before or after importing into PSE 7.0. I now have two date related problems that I didnt have with PE 5.0.
    1) In the Organizer view, when I right click on the date to bring up the Adjust Date and Time screen, then click on Change to a specified date and time and click OK the day automatically changes to a day earlier, which has caused much confusion since all I am wanting to do is set a time to sequence photos from multiple cameras. How do I keep it from automatically changing the date?
    2) Also, Ive had multiple times that Ive changed the date on a couple of photos and PSE 7 will place them incorrectly so that they are non-chronological. Specifically I now have two photos from a string of many on Dec 24 & 25, and some on Dec 26 and after. These two photos belong on Dec 26 chronologically, as well as where they fit in my file naming system. If I change the date on these to 12/26/1976, though, they are placed in my 12/25/1976 photos, not 12/26 where they should be. I have another photo dated 1/17/1977 that PSE has placed between 1/16 and 1/9/1977.
    I thought these were quirky enough that I actually removed and reinstalled PSE 7.0, but these issues are unchanged.
    FYI: Settings in Edit>Preferences:
    General/Display Options/Date (Newest First): Show Newest First within Each Day is selected
    Files/File Options: Use Last Modified Date if EXIF . . . is unchecked.

    > In the Organizer view, when I right click on the date to bring up the "Adjust Date and Time" screen, then click on "Change to a specified date and time" and click "OK" the day automatically changes to a day earlier, which has caused much confusion since all I am wanting to do is set a time to sequence photos from multiple cameras. How do I keep it from automatically changing the date?
    When a photo has a date but unknown time, PSE 6 and 7 (and perhaps 5 too) behave this way. Its a bug thats been reported to Adobe.

    When this happens, which view are you in? Display > Thumbnail View or Display > Folder Location view? Is this using Smart Albums to search by date? If this is still happening, can you upload a screen shot, the incorrect 12/26/1976 photo, and the adjacent 12/25/1976 photo? You can post these for free at www.pixentral.com. Ill take a look at their metadata.
    There are a number of problems with time unknown, so Ive stopped using it:
    http://www.adobeforums.com/webx?128@@.59b6aaa0
    In particular:
    - Search with date ranges doesnt properly handle time unknown.
    - Other tools, such as Vista Explorer, dont correctly handle dates with time unknown in metadata written by PSE.
    - If you have a series of slides youve scanned, you know their relative time ordering (due to the slide numbering) but not their absolute time. Theres no convenient way of preserving that ordering within PSE thumbnail view if you use time unknown.
    So instead of unknown, I assign the times 12:00 AM, 12:05 AM, 12:10 AM, etc. (leaving gaps in case I need to insert another scan later).
