PS11-Organizer:How to sort images by filename...

Surely this is possible, but I've yet to figure out a way to do this.
Can it be done?
It would make it much easier to review/scan your library contents.
Thanks!

Sort by Filename functionality is introduced in Organizer12. In Organizer11 this feature is not avaialbe. A cumbersom workaround in Organizer11 is mentioned on this post: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5233687#5233687

Can I over-ride the default setting in Organizer to allow sorting photos by filename ?

I am converting slides from the 1970's and 80's to digital files and using PSE 8 to Organize them but it is important to me that they stay in the order of the file name I give them and NOT "Date: newest first or last" because it would seem that PSE, in the absence of metafile information, uses the date and time I uploaded the file to the Organizer as the "Date:". ACDSee has a much more sensible arrangement in giving me full control of how my photos are sorted. I am being driven to using ACDSee as the organizer and PSE as the photo editor, a not very convenient arrangement. So my question is, "Can I over-ride the default setting in Organizer to allow sorting photos by filename ?"

The type of file system that you're trying to set up, is actually done better by creating you own file heirarchy in Windows, and then viewing by import batch. For example; you might create a top level folder "My Slide Scans", then perhaps, "My son John". So, the scans of john all go in the same folder, you import the folder in one batch, and you're where you want to be.
That said, PSE will fight you at every turn to do this, since with the scanner hooked up with PSE, PSE is going to want to store your photos in "scanned photos" and import them as you scan them.
I woud suggest this. After the scan and import, use PSE to move the photos to their final destination folder, say " Hawaii 1994", and create a tag of the same name". Then when you're done scanning photos of this event, use the tag to view all the scans at once. Then, delete all the photos from the organizer. (Yeah, sounds radical I know). Take heart! All you've gotta do then is to reimport the whole folder. All the same name photos will be in one import batch. And with all the photos of any given topic in one folder, you'll be able to also use Windows Explorer in any number of modes to view the photos outside PSE.
Keep in mind you can rename batchs of photos by selecting them, or by import batch or even tag, then "Ctrl. > Shift > N" will bring up the name change dialog box.
This technique is quite contensious, but, it makes a whole lot more sense than storing all your photos in the "My Photos" folder on the "C:/" drive where any viral or malware hiccup might cause the necessity of a reformat, which could cause the loss of years of work.
If a name search is a priority, that would be "Ctrl ."Shift" > "K" then type in whatever your heart desires.
Caution: Before attempting a delete/ reimport manuver, Alway, always, write the tag and file info to the photo. "File" >"Write Tag and Properties Info to File".
I always am quite adamantine about suggesting that you do NOT use the same physical HDD that contains Windows to store your photos, that's just asking for trouble. HDDs are quite cheap nowadays, and they're worth every penny in piece of mind. Plus to use a storage ("Volume") drive, you have to create your own file heirarchy anyway, so that leads right back to the beginning of this discussion.

PS11 Organizer. how 2 move 1 file(folder) into another? drag & drop doesnt work...

as it does in Win. also how can i create a new file/folder to put other files/folders into. ex a new folder names "Flowers" then put all the other files that contain flowers such as folder "red roses" into the "main" file of Flowers. Cant figure it out even using the book The Missing Manual. Thanks sara

It sounds like this question is for Photoshop. This is a Flash forum. In any case, is your question about real folders on your computer, or server, or are asking about the files and folders in the "Layers" panel? Or, is your question about using the Library panel in Flash?

In Photoshop Express, cannot sort images in album by filename in thumbnail view (for slideshow)l.

In Photoshop Express, I want images to appear sorted by filename. In the "view as a table" it sorts fine. When I revert to the thumbnail view, the arrangement is random. The dropdown "show" list does not offer an option for showing by filename. If I select the"custom" option, it means I would need to sort 300 images by filename MANUALLY (!!!), a job that a computer does in milliseconds. Anyone with a solution? Thanks.

fwiw, with my images in the 'Folder Location' view the photos are in order by their Windows filename. That is the same order as the hardcopy album the photos came from. So I then created a PSE Album. I selected all my photos and moved them into that album. The order of the pictures was retained in the Album. That worked out great. I wanted my PSE images to be in the same order. I thought I would do it with tags. But creating an album seems to work just fine.

How do i sort images in iphoto on Ipad

How do i sort images in iphoto on Ipad

There is no convenient way to save the comments. You can copy the comments one by one and collect them in a document by pasting them there - a mail, a Pages document, or similar. Add the photo to the document and you have a record of the comments. It will be a lot of tedious work, however.

How to organize and resuse my image resources and icons

How to organize and resuse my image resources and icons JDeveloper IDE and deployed system.

Thanks for answer Timo,
My JDeveloper edition "Studio Edition Version 11.1.2.0.0" .

How do I add the filename as an overlay on a PDF file compiled from images?

I am creating pdf files from digital camera images and want to add the filename as a visible overlay (ie either in Header/Footer or as a watermark). I can find all other alternatives eg Bates numbering, customised Header/Footer etc), but cannot find a solution to adding each image's filename to the image. I can do it in Bridge but not Acrobat.

Acrobat does not preserve the original filename information of images.
You should it in another application (Photoshop?) and then import the final
image into Acrobat.

How to organise images (files) for profile creation

I am trying to get my head round this. I am on the way to shooting 324 images for one lens. Each set of 9 are together. Do I then group sets into a sub folder? And then those groups by, say, focal distance into another folder. Otherwise how does the creator cope with the massive memory requirement to cope with all the files at the same time? You can see that I am a bit of a dumb-dumb about this.

Good question. It would be very helpful to organize photos by the focus distance in separate folders because ALPC knows how to sort the focal length and aperture based on the EXIF metadata. The focus distance is a hit and miss. ALPC does not use it for sorting automatically. It has to be done manually. Say you put the images into folders A, B, C according to the three bucket of focus distances. Then import all the images in A, B, C in three separate batches (into to same project file). The ALPC will know to put images in A, B, C into three different focus distance sets while also sorting into finer sets based on the focal length and aperture. This is the easiest way to go.
If you work with a lot of images in a single project. I recommend saving the ALPC project file regularly so that you can always pick up where you left off the last time.
Hope this helps,
-Simon

How to swap images

Hi All,
How to swap images by droping the images in a canvas or in between the surrounded areas

i want to do samething using flex.
Can any help me Please.
thanks

In that case, it's not image swapping but rather drag'n'drop with re-organization of the layout. You can see something similar in Flex here:

HT4236 Hello, does anyone have any advice on how to sort photos in an albumn on an Iphone by date of photo? I've ordered them all in my Pictures but then when I sync them across through Itunes, they all end up in a jumble on my phone. Thanks!

Hello, does anyone have any advice on how to sort photos in an albumn on an Iphone by date of photo? I've ordered them all in my Pictures but then when I sync them across through Itunes, they all end up in a jumble on my phone. Thanks!

When viewing an album on the iPhone you can tap "Photos" at the bottom and that will show all photos by date. Unfortunately though it is all photos, not just the album you are currently viewing.
What I have done is the following. On the computer I have a main folder (e.g. iPhone photos) and then make sub-folders within that. Placing photos that will be synched to the iPhone into various subfolders gives quite a bit of organizational capablility. In iTunes when you select the main folder to sync, the sub-folders will show on the iPhone as separate albums. Beyond that, in one case where I really wanted a specific sort within an album I renamed the photos on the computer (something like A-picxxx, B-picxxx) so they sorted on the computer alphabetically in the order I want on the phone. That sort order was maintained after the sync.
Note that each time you sync using iTunes, the non-Camera Roll pictures on the phone will be set to match the current iTunes settings/photos -- so you can experiment.

Hi,
Can you please tell us your operating system and why you want to burn them to CD.
For example, on a Windows system, if you just want to save a copy of the images to CD then you could use the organizer. Select the images you want to copy, go to the File menu and select Copy/Move to Removable Drive. Do NOT check the Move option as this would the remove the images from the hard drive.

How to store images in database and retrieve them back to page?

Well I don't know how to store an image file to a database (say MSSQL) from the JSP and retrieve it back whenever needed and put it on the JSP page? Please help me.

I am not sure how to store images in database but what you can do is store the image into particular folder using FileOutputStream and its unique name into the database...and than retrieve it from the folder using that name retrieved from database...

How to Sort music on play list by FILE NAME?

How to Sort music on play list by FILE NAME?

iTunes doesn't display the filename or filepath as a column so you can't sort on it. I could write a script to copy the filepath into the Sort Name field so that sorting by name would sort by filepath. Would that help? In normal circumstances however filepath order would be the same as Album by Artist, so I'm not sure what you would gain. Perhaps there is another way to approach whatever problem you think sorting by filename would solve.

How to sort video, music,photos in different dire...

hello my friends,
how correctly to sort videos, mp3, photos in different directories?
for example if i take a picture in appears in gallery --> image@videos, all music clips there as well..but it should be in gallery--> sound clips.
all other videos should be in tools --> file manager-->my videos am i right ?
i dont know how to sort it please any advises?
at the moment i have family videos, music videos, family photos and everything i found in gallery-->image@videos is it right ?
Nokia N95 v.20.0.15 + 2 Gb microS + RotateMe beta7 + Nokmote beta1+ ShutUp beta1

unfortunately you can't separate any videos (u add to ur phone by not using nokia video manager) and images in the gallery. the best u can do is create albums in the gallery.
In the video centre u can seperate the videos in 'my videos' by creating new folders. i didn't clearly understand ur question so i hope this helps
can't wait for n97 successor
