PSE9 and Folder View changes

I recently upgraded from PSE7 and it appears that in this version you can see only the folder you click on and sometimes not even that.
Is there anyway to see all the selected photos grouped by folder as I could do in all earlier versions?
Even worse, I had a small database with all photos in a single folder. When I switch to folder view (with all images showing in thumbnail view) then all photos disappear!!! Even though the icon in the finder view indicates that there are photos in the folder.
My databases have had thumbnails refreshed, no images need to be reconnected, and have been optimized and repaired.
In case it matters: Windows 7 64 bit with all updates applies to PSE9.

The 30 day free trial is an excellent idea. The problem for upgrading users is the difficulty of keeping things viable for the older version while actively using the new one.
Elements data is extraordinarily difficult to fix when anything gets messed up in the connection area. Trying to reconnect photos once PSE (every version) loses its links is unbelievable. The program is extremely stupid. I had an entire database that somehow had the "C" replaced by "F". The remaining parts of the file names were unchanged. It took me the better part of two days to fix. Any decent programmer (I am a semi-retired programmer with about 45 years experience) would have the sense to first assume that the device was wrong since that happens so easily.
I figure my problem was caused by my repair of a crashed disk where I had to restore from backups. The "F" disk was the source of the backup and data was put on C: yet somehow all links were lost.
Don't ever try to use DVD's as anything more than a backup either. Newer versions cannot always read the DVD's so recovery that is even worse.
I am far off thread, but all relates to using a free trial. I would expect links to be messed up in the process.
Also, the old folder view made fixes much easier - I dread trying to change locations with this buggy folder view.
Ah well, thanks for the comments.

Folder view changes after saving file

After a while, whenever I choose a starting folder in a save dialog, where the folder view is Columns, the folder view changes to that view in Finder as well, but I want it to stay in List view, while brows in the save dialog in Columns view.
How can I make sure, that whichever folder I choose from the save dialog, it's view never changed from List to Columns view, (regardless wether I choose Column view, or it opened already in that view) without changing each and every folder preference individually?

Every time you resave a JPEG, information is lost. How much depends upon the degree of compression - more compression, more loss, smaller file.
A one off save is probably insignifincant. The fact that the file size changes is unsurprising. PSE probably does its compression a bit differently from the camera.

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.
thanks, -phil

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.

Why are my file and folder names changing randomly? (Appending Dates)

Recently Finder has taken to randomly (it seems) appending the date to various folder and file names. For example today I dragged a file from Destop into Documents folder and the file name changed immediately after the move:
From: wedding-invite.pdf
To: wedding-invite 12/11/2013 12/11/2013 12/11/2013 12/11/2013 12/11/2013 12/11/2013 12/11/2013 12/11/2013 12/11/2013 12/11/2013 12/11/2013 12/11/2013 12/11/2013 12/11/2013 12/11/2013 12/11/2013 12/11/2013 12/11/2013 12/11/2013 12/11/2013.pdf
This has happed to folder names as well with different amounts of replication and different dates (usually today's date or document creation date). It happens to some files and folders but not to others. Those that it does happen to have no UNDO trail for the particular action (like Undo Move for example).
Very frustrating - any assistance would be appreciated.
I am running nothiong special (I do run Google Drive on my iMac). Also Time Machine.

Thanks! I found this on the folder actions setup:

Where is the file that contains the folder view setting?

I know this questions been asked before but I can't find it and cant remember the answer. There is directory file that holds all the file and folder setting and if a persons deletes it, essentially all the files and folder view setting revert back to default view, which is a white back ground and icon view. I can't remember enough the name of the file to know for sure I am getting the right one, could some please quickly refresh my memory for me. I would appreciate it, Thanks Gf.

I believe that that info is stored in the .DS_Store file in the relevant folder. Since it's invisible, you can either use one of the tricks to make the Mac show invisible files (Google will help you there), or you can use the Terminal. To delete it, in the Terminal, type "cd" (minus the quotes), then a space, then drop the folder in question on the Terminal window and hit return. Then type "rm .DS_Store".

Albums and tags in folder view PSE9

I have just converted from v6 to v9. In v9. I have a pictures folder with dated subfolders. In v9, using albums to search or tags, I cannot search the whole pictures folder ie all the subfolders. It will only search within the folder I am viewing. The means I have effectively lost the ability to search. It worked in v6 ok. I can search using albums/tags only when I am in thumbnail view. I have checked all the varioous options and views and cannot work out if something is wrong or a different functionality. In v6 when in folder view I click on "My pictures" all the photes can be viewed and I can scroll through all the sub folders using the slider down the rightr side. In v9 when I do this nothing is displayed and I have to click on a specific folder to view photos but only those in the subfolder. Any ideas how to solve this issue?
Neil

I agree. This upgrade has lost important features and is extremely slow. If I had only known, I defintely would not have upgraded.
Hopefully, the folks from Adobe are following this and will issue a patch to make the organizer usable. I'm about to just switch to Picasa for the organizer features.

Design view and browser view in DW are different than when I view from local folder

I'm brand new to Dreamweaver CS5.5 and here is my problem:
I've made an html page in dreamweaver with a banner, with an additional graphic and some text on top of the banner. It displays just fine in every browser when I view from the local folder, but when I open DW and view, it displays incorrectly in all three design, live and browser views within DW. If I make changes to the css file until it views correctly in design view, it no longer displays correctly from the local folder and it still doesn't view correctly in live or browser view within DW. If what I'm doing isnt going to display accurately in any of the views provided by Dreamweaver as compared to the live server, whats the point in having this software? I could just keep building webpages in notepad and uploading with CoreFTP.
Any suggestions? Is it some setting that I dont know about that I need to change within DW? Please help.

align="center" is deprecated (obsolete) code in XHTML & HTML5 doc types. Instead of styling markup with HTML, you should be using CSS.
CSS
.center {text-align:center}
HTML
<p class="center">some centered text here</p>
With respect to break tags, in XHTML doc types the correct syntax is <br /> not <br>. However your usage of line breaks is inconsistent with good symantic markup. Use headings <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> for important keywords. Use <p> for descriptive paragraphs. Use <ul> <li> or <ol> <li> for lists. Line breaks should be used minimally if ever.
XHTML doc types require all tags to be lowercase. Uppercase tags will throw errors.
Your design is too rigid. When text size is increased in browsers, your content is unreadable. See screenshot.
SOLUTIONS:
1) DO NOT USE POSITION ABSOLUTE. You don't need it. Absolute positioning removes content from the normal document flow resulting in a jumbled mess. Use default CSS positioning (none) with margins, padding & floats to align elements.
2) Remove HEIGHT values from all CSS containers. Height limits a container's capacity to hold more content when needed. Container height should always be determined by the amount of content it holds; not explicit values. If required to reveal a background image, for example, use CSS min-height instead of height.

Duplicate folders NAME~1 appear in PSE9 Elements 9 Orgainser folder view

I am running Photoshop Elements 9 (PSE9) in windows7 and I am having a problem of apparently empty duplicate folders in Organiser's folder view (thumbnails on the right, Windows Explorer type folder list on the left).
A new apparently empty folder structure has appeared on in the folder view, identical to my main set of photo folders but containing no thumbnails and with a truncated folder name, eg DigitalPhotos becomes Digita~1 and FamilyandFriends becomes Family~1. If I delete any of the apparently empty subfolders in the duplicate folders, it deletes all the real jpgs from the hard drive and they show up as a missing file when I click on the proper thumbnail in the proper folder. It would appear to me that the catalog is referring to the same underlying file at two points for my whole catalog.
As the folders are apparently empty there is no ability to use the delete file option and uncheck delete file to delete only from the catalog
I have tried..
- catalog optimise
- catalog repair anyway (no faults found)
- catalog repair rebuild visual similarity index
- deleting the thumbnail file from ProgramData\Adobe\etc. then rebuilding all thumbnails (took hours) - I thought this had solved the problem when I checked very late last night but it wasb back when I turned on the computer this morning. I am now questioning whether in fact this solved the problem or if this was my imagination/ lack of sleep
They clearly shouldn't be there and I am concerned that double-links to the same underlying file will cause me corruption-related trouble.
Any ideas? I am really concerned the whole thing is going to crash on me and erase endless hours of work.
Thanks
Kimberley

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
bitschnau

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.
HTH
Cheers
Erik

Hidden network drives "home" and "net" shown in folder view Adobe Bridge CS5 / Lion Problem

Updated to Mac OS X 10.7.2 Lion and got this "problem":
The hidden network drives "home" and "net" shown in folder view Adobe Bridge CS5 (unlike in 10.6 Snow Leopard).
Normally these network drives are hidden (in Finder and other Apps) - but Adobe Bridge CS5 is showing them, despite "show hidden files" is unchecked in Adobe Bridge.
Not a dramatic "bug", but it also shouldn't be a big problem for Adobe Bridge engineers to solve this. My first question to the Adobe Support was answered like: "we don't know what Apple did change, so we cannot do anything". Hmmm, are you serious?
I tried to resolve that problem by myself but failed. So, if an Adobe engineer is reading this post: perhaps Adobe Bridge is ignoring the automounter master map (that was my approach to resolve it):
# Automounter master map
+auto_master                    # Use directory service
/net           -hosts                 -nobrowse,hidefromfinder,nosuid
/home                                        auto_home       -nobrowse,hidefromfinder
/Network/Servers               -fstab
/-                              -static
You cannot do anything to these folders, so it is not a serious issue, but, I mean, did someone at Adobe check compatibiliy with 10.7 and ignored this issue? If so, are there an other issues ignored?
But I guess, the compatibilty update for Bridge CS5 for Lion is Bridge CS6 - to be fair: I also have to say, that in general Bridge is running okay on Mac OS X 10.7.2 (but could be better, as always;)

Hi Curt Y,
thanks for your answer! Yes you' re right, I forgot to mention that ... before I posted here, I sent a bug report via the Apple Bug Report webpage about the issue ... of course, here are 2 parties involved.
I had a similiar problem once and I got a meesage back from Apple: "that it is a 3rd party problem, sorry" (it was about color management).
I am just a user and I often feel very strange about Apple's (topsecret) communication behaviour ... Whatever, what do I know about software engineering? - Right.
Maybe someone on this forum has an idea, because I'm afraid, thus it is not a serious bug, no one would take care about it in the next time (during my research I found an older post here on the forum about the same problem ...).
thanks for help in advance,
jobumac

How to change to Icon View for some folders but and List View for the rest

I've had a bear of a time with View options in my folders. I'd like some folders to be in Icon view and other to be in List view. For what ever reason if I change the view option of one folder it changes the view option of EVERY folder. What can I do to make this happen?

I was about to ask the same. I'd like to use icon view normally, but list view for folders containing lots of text documents. It looks like the solution is using View > Show View Options, change the folder to the view you want, and then tick the box at the top fo the dialogue for "Always open in __ view".

Photoshop CC keeps changing my windows folder view settings

Every time I save a file from PS into a particular folder on my desktop, the view settings for that folder get reset to defaults.
For example, I like the view setting to be on "details" and to be sorted in descending order by "date modified" (not 'date', which means i have to uncheck the 'date' field and check the 'date modified' field each time this happens)
I open and close this folder from my desktop many times a day and the view stays the same, but as soon as I save a file out of PS and navigate to that folder from the save dialog box the view is reset to "thumbnails" again; which would be ok if it only showed up that way while in PS but once this happens it changes the view even for when I open the folder from the desktop.
This does not happen with any other program, only PS. I'm using windows 7 pro 64-bit.
It's worth noting that if I change the view settings from withing the save dialog box, those changes are not reflected when I open the folder from desktop.
Also, once I make the changes, PS will keep the settings for all subsequent save operations, even after closing and re-opening the program. But once I reboot I'm back to square one.

Photoshop has no control over that. That is an OS setting, and open/save are OS dialogs (not really controlled by Photoshop).

Change Lion folder view defaults

I seem to have two folder view behaviors in my Lion OS environment. One is what I will call the older view where I can click on the column heading and sort by that column. The other has a row of icons across the top that I have to click on to change things like sort order. How do I make the old behavior pervasive? Not even sure I know why the 'new' behavior happens.

From the "view" menu choose "List View" uncheck in Prefs where you may have checked "Open new windows in column view".

Change default folder view?

Hi. I was wondering if there was a way to change the default folder view. For instance, I'd like it so that when I create a new folder or open a new window it would be automatically in list view mode, and with the specific columns I want. Is this possible?

From the "view" menu choose "List View" uncheck in Prefs where you may have checked "Open new windows in column view".
