PSE 7 Organizer - New Display bar similar to a "Timeline" appeared

Today it's raining, so time to try and solve some problems. Here is my second query:
On my wife's machine suddenly a new line appeared on the Organizer, right under the line with "Edit....Share" and it shows a sort-of timeline, with blocks of various heights, except that these refer to File Folder locations and the height seems to indicate the number of entries in the individual folders.
I used eyes, glasses, binoculars, telescopes, catscans and MRIs and do not find where to turn that nuisance line off (or where I turned the dur... thing on).
Any ideas??

Thanks and don't tell anybody else!

p.s. Have thrown out all glasses, MRIs, etc. and ordered a new set of grey cells...

PSE 10 organizer displays SAMSUNG CAMERA PICTURES title for every imported image.   How to eliminate?

PSE 10 organizer now displays SAMSUNG CAMERA PICTURES as the title for every imported image. This is very annoying.   How to I prevent PSE from assigning this attribute to the title metadata upon import?   I have thousands of photos, and going through each one to delete the title isn't really an option.   Has anyone encountered this type of behavoir?
Windows 7 pro, if that matters.
Thanks,

PSE 10 organizer changing date times of photos

I have been having an issue since PSE9 which continues into PSE 10 organizer. After scaning photos and saving into organizer it will not allow assingment of jsut a year or a year month. If I take an old family photo and change date (scanned date) to year 1930 with unknown month it appears to take. Nect I time go into organizer it has changed the date to 12/31/1929. When I assign year and month with no date it will assing a day. PSE 10 also changes time of raw photos, keeps correct year, month, and day but changes time to the time file imported. If I correct the time it appears to take but it reverts back. This has become a major issue as I have over 16K of pictures and have scanned in thousands of old family photos, reasearching dates to use, it is extremetly frustarating to have a program that changes these settings.

PSE 9 Organize, edit/preferences locks up the program

I just loaded PSE9 on a core i7 with 12GB RAM and 800 GB HD. In Organize, the memu bar doesn't display, and I guess that has to do with the size of the font which can be sort of fixed by selecting "use system fonts" under "Edit/preferences, general". But when I select anything under preferences, I get a popup that says "loading" ......forever. I have to use the task manager to close the program to get out of that. I'd sure appreciate any thoughts as to the fix on this one. Thanks.

You seem to be right that the missing menu bar in Organize can be repaired by going to "smaller" (100%) in Contol Panel > Display. That isn't required in Edit. This is a pain (requires restart) and makes it difficult for people with eyes my age to read emails etc.
It would be nice if there were a simpler solution or if Adobe would create a fix in PSE 9. As a brand new PSE user, this hung me up for a while trying to learn the program.
Have you found a better way around this.

PSE 9 Organizer Error Adding Keyword Tags and Other Woes

Hello, everyone. I am having a ton of problems with PSE 9 Organizer. The most frustrating and biggest problem is that I believe my catalog has been corrupted beyond repair. I spent all of yesterday tagging my photos. I had no problems and everything seemed to be going well until all of the sudden, the organizer suddenly froze up. I had to use the Windows task manager just to get it to close. This happened several times. Finally, the organizer locked up my computer and I had to restart. I opened the catalog and didn't seem to have any problems at that point. I was able to view all of the images, video files etc. I was even able to open the editor from the organizer. When I tried to add a tag to a photo it gave me an error. All it said was "error adding keyword tag" then nothing. I tried to delete the photo and all it said was "error deleting photo". This "error" shows up any time I try to make any changes to all of the images. I can't add any new photos, can't delete, or add tags. I have repaired the catalog several times. It found errors the first time, but evidently that didn't fix my problem. I also optimized and deleted my thumbnail cache to see if that was the issue. Still nothing. I have other catalogs and they work fine, so it is something to do with this particular catalog. Any suggestions on what to do next? Can I move the pictures to a new catalog without losing the tags? And no, I didn't write the tags to the images because I wasn't done tagging. Besides, PSE doesn't always write the tags correctly, as you probably know. Next problem. When I first open PSE and select the organizer, it doesn't alway open. I can see it on my taskbar (Windows 7 64 bit), but I can't get the window to maximize. I have to close and open several times to get the window to open. Sometimes it randomly jumps to my second monitor like it can't decide where to go. Very frustrating. I would appreciate any suggestions about what to do. Thanks.

Back to the original question, after thinking about this for a couple days I have had two ideas for workarounds:
1) Copy my tag names into the photo metadata and create a new catalog to bring all of my images into. This will allow me to keep all of my existing tags, and it MIGHT solve the tag display problem based on a test with a couple images in a new catalog. The downsides to this are a) permanently writes my tags into the photo metadata which will be bad if I decide to change something later, b) loses all version sets, and c) loses all albums (although I don't have that many). I found instructions for this workaround at http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshop-elements-faq.htm#_Merging_Catalogs.
2) Live with the lack of color tag display in Organizer, and use reverse searches to find missing tag categories. For example, if I want to find all photos that do not have a "Places" tag, I check the box next to the "Places" category (which also selects all sub-categories and tags below this). Then I go to the Options drop-down in the Find Bar and "Hide best match results" and "Show results that do not match". This gives me every image in my catalog that does not have a tag from the "Places" category, so I can go through and tag these as appropriate.
I would have gone with #1 if it weren't for the permanence of the keywords. I guess I have a commitment problem (or I just haven't got my tag hierarchy figured out yet). Instead, I am going with #2 which should give me most of what I need for now. I will still hold out some small glimmer of hope that Adobe manages a fix for this issue down the road.

Suggestions for PSE 11 Organizer

Greetings from a new member. Not sure how to post some usability suggestions for PSE 11 Organizer, but here goes... I realize others have already posted similar comments, which triggered further discussions. However, my intent is just to bring these simple, but to me important, suggestions to the attention of the developers of PSE 11.
I have used PSE on Windows XP starting with PSE 4, then PSE 7, and very recently PSE 11. Earlier this year, I switched to a Mac OS X system and transferred my photos and PSE 11 catalog to PSE 11 on the Mac. I followed the backup/restore instructions on the PSE support site and am mostly quite happy with the results. However, I’m disappointed that the following usability features of PSE 7 organizer are missing in PSE 11 organizer (on both Windows and OS X). Note that I plan to use PSE on OS X exclusively from now on.
In PSE 7, when right clicking on one or more selected photos, the popup menu listed “View photos in full screen”, but it no longer does so in PSE 11. Although Full Screen is available on the View menu, having it on the popup would be even more useful.
In both PSE 7 and PSE 11, that same right-click popup menu lets you REMOVE selected photos from an album. It would be great if the popup menu would also let you ADD selected photos to an existing album.
In PSE 7, I could display the album list simultaneously with folder hierarchy/tree view (there was no folder list view in PSE 7). In PSE 11, the album list is visible only with folder list view. This makes it impossible to drag photos to an album from folder hierarchy view. Please fix PSE to display the album list simultaneously with folder hierarchy view.
I suggest that the default folder view be folder hierarchy (not folder list). Or even better, let the user choose the default folder view in Preferences.
Starting with PSE 4, I organized my thousands of photos in several main folders and hundreds of subfolders. Many subfolders have the same name, and frequently the subfolder name is a date. Because the PSE 11 folder list view doesn’t show the hierarchical context, folder list view is just clutter and completely useless for me. As recommended in other posts, I do intend to start using tags/events/places and other suggested ways to organize my photos. However, this will be in addition to (not instead of) using folders. I like organizing my photos in folders, just as I like organizing my other files (text, spreadsheet, etc.) in folders. Also, categorizing photos via tags, places, events, etc. is not equivalent to, and does not replace, using folders. For me, categorizing in this manner is an additional usability feature to using folders.
Thanks for listening...

My own answer will be about :

For me, categorizing in this manner is an additional usability feature to using folders.
The fact is that the Organizer has been built historically on a database to manage keywords and categories with some additional tools to enable folder browsing and managing. Note that for other types of applications like word processors or spreadsheets, you have the same choice with using keywords or folder structures.
So, where are we in version 12 ? From what I am reading today, I'll risk a few guesses.
- I am convinced that most people relying like you on folder organization don't use the Organizer or have given up using it.
- A great part of the critiques about the Organizer come about people not understanding the idea of catalogs and categories/keywords (I know that is not your case)
- Anoter great part of the critiques is that the implementation of folder organizing in Elements has aliways been lame and buggy.
What's new in PSE12 is that the folder view has been completely rebuilt. And the result is perceived differently depending on your camp : database or folders...
- For Folder tenants, the result is two-sided. They are happy to have the folder view with all trees back - They don't see the point of the folder list - They are not happy with the new interface based on new categories (people, events...) - They miss the link between albums and folders as you have mentionned
- For database tenants, the main advantage is that a lot of bugs have been corrected and that they can use the folders view and folder list as a secondary tool for organizing. The folder list (a feature I had requested) is a great tool for those wanting to migrate from a folder organization to a database one. Usually, the folder names are significant and enable very fast keywording and constitute a powerful search tool.
- For both camps, the common grudge is the loss of alphanumerical sort order in folder view. I don't care personnally, but I think it's necessary for people working on scans.
So, my wish is that the next version of the Organizer can satisfy people like you,so that much more people use and are happy with the Organizer

Photoshop element 9 Organizer never displays commands the File, Edit,etc.

I bought “Adobe Photoshop element 9 Classroom in a Book” after I had already imported my photos into the program. When I tried to follow the instructions, “Creating a new catalog” in page 9 of the book, I was not able to choose File>Catalog to open its dialog box and create a new one – the commands at top of the Organizer did not display the commands File – Edit – Find – View – Window or Help. As a matter of fact, the Organizer never displays these commands at all. Please help!

PSE 10 organizer not starting - never worked

Hi,
I have installed PSE 10.0 on my PC running Windows 7 Pro SP1. I can happily edit images in PSE, but I cannot start the Organizer. When I start PSE the initial screen is displayed giving me options Orgainize and Edit, when I click on Organize the progress bar displays for a few seconds then nothing happens - no error messages, no dialogs nothing.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance, Steve.

Bypass the Unwelcome Screen by creating Desktop shortcuts for the Organizer and the Editor, and restarting your computer.
The Editor's executable is:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
The Organizer's executable is:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 10 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe"
The Unwelcome Screen leaves a zombie process running which prevents the actual program from launching again.

PSE 10 Organizer layout changes won't stay

Upgraded from PSE9 to PSE 10. Win 7 OS. Setting the Organizer to display in Folder view, and then adjusting the Photo bin size larger (to the left) does not "take." It will remain as I set it as long as I remain in that session. If I close the program and then restart, the Organizer layout has reverted to the default layout with a small Photo bin. This was automatic in Version 9 and it saved it where I put it. How do I fix this irritating problem please?

Thanks for the suggestion - it sure sounded good, but doesn't work for me. Changed name to "oldpsa.prf", re-started PSE10, set up my workspace as I want it (essentially all I do is change the size of the Photo bin to make it larger - makes the folder display narrower), went into preferences just to hit "OK" and leave - then exited the pgm and re-started - It was back to the default workspace. Thanks anyway - I am thinking seriously about removing all things Elements then using CCleaner and jv16PowerTools to scrub the registry just to make sure there are no remnants, then reload everything. At this point I don't have any serious work to lose, so it might be better to do it now rather than lose good stuff down the road. I am a new user, as you can probably tell. If anyone has any other ideas, please send them on as I will wait a day or so before I bomb this thing. Thanks!

Autokorrektur in PSE 3 Organizer

Hallo,
kennt jemand die Möglichkeit die Autotonwertkorrektur auszuschalten, die automaisch die Thumbnails korrigiert. Ich finde es extrem störend, dass die Vorschaubilder im PSE3 Organizer nicht den wirklichen Bildern entsprechen.
Vielen Dank

Can't make an incremental backup in PSE 10 Organizer

I don't understand why I can't make an incremental backup in PSE 10 Organizer. I made my first full backup to my external drive a week ago. Today I tried to make an incremental backup. After selecting Incremental Backup from the file menu, a new screen appears asking for the Backup Path, and so I entered (by selecting) the full path name on my external drive where I made my original backup. But, next, it wants to know the name of the "Previous Backup file." I have absolutely no idea what the program wants at this point. What particular file does it want me to enter as the "previous backup file"?? There are hundreds of files in my backup directory. The backup directly does have a file called "Backup.tly" which I entered, hoping that this is the file it wants, but then I get this error message: "I:\Pictures\Adobe\Backup.tly does not contain a backup set for the current catalog. Please locate the last backup you made for this catalog." What am I missing here?
Many thanks for your help,
Jeff

Hi Jeff
Once you have a full back up you can make incremental back ups but you need to follow a set routine. It’s not very intuitive.
Start by creating a new folder or label a new CD/DVD Disk - it’s best to use dates e.g. “PSE10 incr backup 2012-0104”
Press Ctrl+B and check Incremental, then click Next
Highlight your drive containing the last backup and click the bottom Browse button (previous back up file) then navigate to the TLY file and click open.
Click the Browse button above and navigate to your new folder “PSE10 incr backup 2012-0104”
Click Done.
If your full backup originally contained 500 images, the incremental backup will only contain changes since the last backup e.g. files B000501.jpg, B000502.jpg etc
If you ever have to do a complete restore you start with the TLY file from the latest incremental backup. The program automatically recognizes the number of incremental steps and you will be prompted to insert a disc or navigate to the appropriate drive.
Incremental backup’s are obviously much quicker to write to disk but I recommend that you periodically perform another full backup and delete any earlier backups.

Windows 7 will not recognize PSE 8 Organizer on External Drive

Hello:
Background:
We purchased a Dell Inspiron 560 with Windows 7 from BestBuy to replace the Hewlett Packard Pavilion with Windows XP that was showing problems. My present photo software includes Photo Shop Elements 8 and Nikon NX2. (I intend to use PSE 8 for Nikon NEF (RAW) files and NX2 for JPEG files.) Geek Squad (GS) transfered the information that was on the HP hard drive to the Dell. All the icons now show on the Dell except for iTunes. I also gave GS the Photoshop and Nikon disks in case they needed to reload the programs.
The photos are stored on a Western Digital (WD) external drive that was also given to GS to test the transfer. I organized my files according to the "master programs", e.g., Adobe Photoshop 8 and Nikon NX2 with subfolders for the photos themselves. Everything worked fine on the former HP computer.
The situation:
The PSE 8 Edit and NX2 appears to work but not the PSE 8 Organizer. All folders and subfolders and information in the subfolders are present on the WD drive. The Nikon software opens and edits all photos including the photos stored in the Adobe Photoshop 8 folder in the WD drive. I can open a single photo in PSE 8 Edit. But I cannot activate PSE 8 Organizer where the folders and subfolders are. When I attempt to activate the Organizer following the prompts, the following statement appears, "The catalog could not be opened. It is either corrupt, or the version is out of date and cannot be updated." However, I can access them using the NX2 software.
So what do I have to do to activate or reactivate the Organizer? I could transfer the files from the Adobe folder to the Nikon folder using drag and drop, reinstall PSE 8, and then reintstall the files on the Adobe folder.
Or is there a better way?
Please help.
Mp

Without knowing exactly what Geek Squad actually did, its hard to say how to fix this.
Ideally, that way to fix this is to do the following: you would create a backup of your catalog on the old computer. Do this with the Organizer command File->Backup Catalog. Tell PSE to save the backup to the external drive. Then connect the external drive to the new computer, and run the Organizer command File->Restore Catalog.
