PSE8 Organize Folder View Missing Files

I have some JPG files in my catalog and hard drive that don't show up in the Organizer when I'm viewing by Folder Location and have the folder where they are located selected in the folder tree. If I change Preferences to view all files grouped by folder then the JPG files show up under the correct folder. If I switch to thumbnail view and then search for the files by their name they are found and the path indicated by their properties is correct. I tried to re-add the JPG files to the catalog but it knows they already are there so they weren't added.
The last thing to try would be to delete them from the catalog and add them in again. I thought I'd raise the question first in case there is some other process to use. I'm not sure how many other JPG files have this same issue since I just stumbled on this in the first place.
Thanks,  -phil

  • Organizer folder view doesn't show pictures

    All of my pictures on my computer have been imported into Organizer (PSE 9).  When I choose the display option of "Folder location," and click on one folder, sometimes the pictures show and sometimes they don't.  And some of the pictures show and some don't.  Most of the folders show no pictures.  Right now I want to edit a picture but I cannot get to it in Organizer because in the folder it's in, only 3 of maybe 20 pictures show and it is not one of them.  Many pictures show in Windows(7) Explorer that have never shown in Organizer.

    Hi ,
    Have you imported the files in Organizer. If not then right click on the desired folder shown on the left hand side in Folder View. Choose the third option which says 'Import to Organizer' to import and view all of the folder's files in Organizer.
    If I have understood the problem incorrectly and you have already imported those files to Organizer then try this : Switch to thumbnail view for a while. Search and select the file you want to work on. While the file is still selected in thumbnail view, choose to switch to Folder View to verify if the file is still not shown in Folder View ?
    Hope this helps. Thanks

  • PSE8 Organiser Folder View?

    In PSE8 Organiser I can usually scroll down through all my folders when using Folder View. PSE9 only displays one folder at a time.
    Today I opened PSE8 Organiser and it's behaving just like PSE9, only letting me see one folder at a time. Yesterday it was fine.
    Has anyone any idea what might have caused this? I really need to scroll continuously through folders, which is why I am still using the PSE8 Organiser.

  • Create folder view with files and tasks

    Good day to you,
    we want to support our software development procces with Vibe. What we are doing is, we make changes to the source code and protocol corresponding things in certain files.
    We think in so called "releases" and every release consists of tasks and a list of changes. This list is held in an excel file, so I would like to create a folder view, which consists of tasks and files.
    So far I could create a custom folder view with attachments at the top and a task list at the bottom, based on the task family.
    The problem is, the attachment view as a standard folder view does not allow colleborative editing of attached files. You can only view and download attached files, but not open them via Office addin. Therefore you can not lock or version files, which is mandatory for collaborative work.
    I would like to mix the file folder view with it's possibilities with a task folder view.
    Any ideas?
    Warm regards

    There's no out of the box way to achieve what you're looking for.
    Two solutions:
    1. Your users would need to open the entry first and then click on the "edit this file" link.
    2. You could code your own folder view or landing page element and build what you need.

  • PSE9 Organizer Folder View Settings

    Does anyone know how the Oranizer is storing your hard drive's folder structure that you see in the left panel when in Folder Location display? Mine has become corrupted after I moved to a new Computer. My Catalog and image files are still on the original externally mapped drive.  I'm pretty sure it's stored in the catalog because if I creaate a new catalog it has the folder contents correct. I've tried Repair, Optimize and Reconnect but it didn't fix anything.
    Even stranger is I see 4 different indications for the location of a file when it's selected.
    1. Hover over a folder and the popup displays the path of the folder. This is correct. Select this folder.
    2. The thumbnails displayed in the center panel are not actually in the selected folder.
    3. The folder path displayed above the center panel is incorrect and not the same as 1 or 2 above.
    4. The folder path displayed in the file's properties is correctly showing where the file is.
    If it isn't possible to hack a fix in some external Oraginzer config file then is there a way to create a new catalog and then import your image files with all the tagging and Albums from the original Catalog?
    All my image files are stored in one location so it's easy to find them. My workflow is to input files to my PC into the My Documents folder path that have the Watched folders. I then perform all the necessary tagging and finally do a Organinzer Move to the final storage location on a 2nd hard drive.

    Selected folder is; C:\Users\dommerpw\Pictures\Eye-Fi
    Center panel title bar is showing:  C:\Users\dommerpw\Pictures\HDR
    There's only one thumbnail image displayed. Selecting the thumbnail and file properties shows; C:\Users\dommerpw\Pictures\from Phone\. This is the true physical location of the file.
    Looking with Windows Explorer the C:\Users\dommerpw\Pictures\Eye-Fi folder actually has 16 files in it not just 1.
    The external drive is mapped to the same drive letter as on the old computer. In Thumbnail View all of the files are displayed and available at there actual location. I've looked in the catalog database file with Visual Studio and all of the files listed in the media table are correctly cataloged with their physical location. The volume table is also correct with the records in it. It's only when the Organizer is in Folder Location mode that there's this corruption.
    I can't figure out where or how the Organizer is discovering the folder hierarchy. It doesn't appear to use the databse file because that looks correct. And it doesn't appear to be using an interface to Windows to discover it in real time. It has to be something that the Oraginizer calculates at some time. Keep in mind if I create a new catalog and then Get The Photos in c:\Users\dommerpw|\Pictures it correctly shows what files are in what folder.

  • Folder is missing files...help!

    I have CS GoLive and my portfolio folder on the local side of the window has a plus sign next to it, but won't expand and show the portfolio files. I've tried to copy and paste the pages and I've tried to import the pages to the folder, but nothing seems to work. Can you help? I'm on a PC, DELL.

    I'm not sure.
    You are kind of skipping some important steps in the diagnose/cure process. Are your files in the Portfolio folder when viewed through Windows Explorer on your HD? Have you created a new site file from existing content yet?
    If your site file is corrupt (which I suspect it may be) adding more folders and files won't fix it, you may simply end up with the same problem in the new folders if not right away, possibly in the near future.

  • Tool bar across top of PSE8 organizer page is missing.

    The tool bar is missing. There is this tiny little box and when i put the mouse over it it will display all the menues eg, File Edit Find. Does anyone now how to make it come back as normal across the top. I am running Windows7 and the latest IE.

    Barbara B.  Thanxs so much for that fix. it worked Bloody great. Thanxs again.

  • The screen locks up on Elements 9 in the organizer after viewing several files.  This is constant.

    The screen will let you view maybe 10 or 12 files and it locks up and the program has to be closed.  Any suggestions?

    I had this problem as well. After I created and began using catalogs other than "My Catalog"  (the name of the default catalog, if I remember correctly), it didn't happen anymore.

  • PSE8 Organizer won't display new files

    After copying photo files into a folder, I opened PSE8 Organizer and imported the files.  PSE8 reported importing 578 photos.  I clicked to Show ALL.  Only the original 24 photos in the folder are displayed.
    I have tried rebuilding the catalog, and deleting and creating a new catalog.  Nothing seems to work.  The rebuilding of the catalog reported the files are there and do not need to be imported.  But PSE8 still won't display any but the original 24 files.
    Any ideas would be appreciated.

    Edit > Visibility was set to Show All Files.  In Preferences, I unchecked all filter selections for Auto Analyze.  No effect.
    I have one folder with 3 .tiff files that PSE8 Organizer won't display.  Trying to import the files and PSE8 says they are there but PSE8 cannot display them.  No explanation.  Windows Photo Viewer and Picasa have no problem displaying them.
    I have deleted and made new catalogs with the same results for that folder.  I cannot figure out what is wrong with these files.  All other applications have no problem.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

  • "missing file" message in PSE9

    All my pics in the PSE9 Organizer timeline say "missing file" and cannot be found when trying to open for editing. Have tried uninstalling and reinstalling but organizer timeline pics remain.

    It's simplest to start a new catalog from Organizer.
    PSE9 à Catalog à New
    Give it a new name e.g. My Catalog2
    Check the box for free music (they are mp3/wav snippets for slideshows - but Windows only) then click OK
    When the blank catalog opens use File à Get Photos & Videos à From Files & Folders
    Navigate to your pictures and press Cmd+A (to select all) or Cmd+Click on the individual folders you want imported. Then hit open or Get Media.

  • No files or folders shown in Organizer Folder Location view

    Hi!
    I'm using Elements Organizer 8.0. If I select the Folder Location option from the Display menu, then I get a tree pane to left with a few folders in it: "Public", my user name, Computer, Network and Offline Media. The Computer folder in turn contains my drives. However, none of the folders can be expanded (no [+] icon) except for the mentioned Computer folder. So I can't reach any sub-folders. Furthermore, no files are ever displayed in the center pane, regardless of what folder is selected.
    I have no filters set, I have tried enabling display of hidden files (not that this should matter) and can see no further options to change.
    I did discover a sort-of partial workaround. If i right-click on a folder in the tree pane and select New Folder, then a new folder will be created in the file system, and the parent folder with suddenly be endowed with a [-] icon. If i click this to collapse the parent folder, and then click the [+] icon to expand it again, the I can suddenly see all other sub-folders in this folder. Of course, this is still worthless, since I still can't see any files.
    Probably related to this is the fact that the Watch Folders feature is broken for me. I can select any folder (this is done through a standard Windows file selection box, so navigating through the file system to select the desired folder works fine) but it seems that the organizer never finds any files regardless of what folder I choose to watch.
    Any ideas?

    Display > Folder Location view will only show files (and their containing folders) if you've previously imported them into the Organizer, e.g. with File > Get Photos And Videos > From Files And Folders.  Have you imported any photos yet into your catalog?
    Note also that Folder Location view is buggy and often shows the wrong contents of folders, and with large catalogs (tens of thousands of photos), it is intolerably slow.
    Regarding File > Watch Folders, it only imports photos that are added, deleted, or modified after you've started watching a folder.

  • 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,

    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

  • I have files in my iTunes media folder that somehow are not in my library. How do I get iTunes to scan my media folder and add missing files to my library without making a copy of each file in the same location?

    I have files in my iTunes media folder that somehow are not in my library. How do I get iTunes to scan my media folder and add missing files to my library without making a copy of each file in the same location? If I use add file / folder to library, it scans the folder and then makes a copy of any file that is not in my library in the exact same location; I recal in older versions of iTunes being able to just drag my media folder into my library and it would update missing links.

    Only the songs that are connected to iTunes will be copied when you consolidate to a new folder.
    Splitting the media folder away from the usual location makes it harder to move iTunes in the future.
    Are you go move everything back once you've tidied up or are you going to leave it that way? Either way I'd recommend you create an iTunes folder at the new location, an iTunes Media folder inside that, and consolidate to this new iTunes Media folder. You should also use the option File > LIbrary > Organize Library > Rearrange files in the folder "<Media Folder"> if you have not already done so.

  • How can I make folder view the default view when I open Organizer?

    I just bought Adobe Elements Photshop and Premier 11.  I spent 2 to 3 hours getting my picture video library into Adobe's organizer.  I had some problems with duplicate picture (that I wanted to be there - so I had to rename them) and a couple pictures with corrupted metadata.  After I got all that sorted out I am a bit miffed about the folder view on Adob'es organizer.
    I love that you can switch to folder view - since this is how I have been organizing my pictures for a long time.  I would like to continue organizing this way for now until I get a grasp on the other ways I can organize them in elements.  However, every time I close and re-open organizer it switches back to the default view instead of folder view.  PLEASE tell me that there is a way to set folder view to the default view!  HELP!

    Perhaps it’s a design feature to speed up the Organizer launch.
    I am sure it is.
    - The normal use of the Organizer is not the folder view, it's the thumbnail view with an organization based on categories and folder. That way you should forget completely where your pictures are stored. Anyway, the folder view in the Explorer is not a map of the location of the different bits of your file, it's only a logical representation. That's easy to see when you are doing a defragmentation.
    - The folder view is useful even for those using normally the thumbnail view, but that is only for rare cases when you must change the folder organization, for instance moving files to another drive. The folder view is here to prevent you from changing things from the explorer and outside of the Organizer.
    - The new folder list view, which you find 'funny' is there to help better organizing using tags. Its huge advantage is that such a view is created extremely quickly by extracting the last subfolder in the media table : it's the way the database sees the folders, based on its own content,  totally ignoring the complex folder organization of your disk with media files or any unrelated other kind of data. You should use it in many cases, the main purpose being assigning tags when you have assigned descriptive folder names. I had suggested such a solution to prevent the long standing bugs in the folder view of previous versions.
    So yes, the purpose is:
    - to speed up switching modes
    - to help folder organization fans to migrate to tags organization
    - to hopefully get rid of the old folder organization bugs
