Selecting Multiple Folders in PSE 9 (W7 64bit)

I previously had PSE 6, running on XP SP3. I could select multiple folders and filtering typically included all of my pictures in all directories, not just for the current folder. Now, I can't select but a single folder and when I search, I can only see the results for the folder I select: a single one. Is this a "new" feature of PSE 9 or am I missing something?

Yes, Folder Location view now mirrors the OS.
Use thumbnail view to search the whole catalog. Use the time line slider in folder view (Ctrl+L) to scroll down all your managed folders.

Selecting multiple folders to make a contact sheet

When creating a contact sheet in Bridge CS4, is it possible to select multiple folders so that you can pull multiple images? I tried saving a contact sheet pdf while selecting the folders, but Bridge is requesting that I select the files within the folder. It would seem counterproductive to extract all my images from all the folders to place them in a single location just to make a contact sheet. I hope I'm just missing something basic.
Thanks

The only thing I can think of for this purpose is to use the option to show
items from subfolders (in the View menu) and have a flat view for the whole
content of the mainfolder containing the desired subfolders.
If you have only a view items from subfolders instead of the whole content
from that subfolder you are bound to use either labeling or rating and
select them with filterpanel options.
And there is some other thing that comes to my mind, open them in PS and
choose the option to create contactsheet from open files.
However it is to my knowledge not possible to select items from different
folders in one time, neither in Finder, nor in Bridge.

Select Multiple Folders for Keywording

I'm trying to select multiple folders in the catalog simultaneously in order to add the same Keywords to all of the photos in all of the selected folders without having to do it folder by folder. But although the folders are shown as selected in Navigator, nothing shows up in the main view, and the Keywords section is grayed out. Is there any way of doing this?

Hm... Lightroom remembers filter setting individually for each folder and even for group of folders. So, even if you can see pictures in one folder and see pictures in the other folder, it could be that a combination of both has a filter applied.
Try unchecking
i Enable Filters
from the Library menu while you have multiple folders selected.

Opening Multiple Folders (Sizes and Locations)

In selecting multiple folders and opening them all, is there a setting available or something a person manually does to when you open the folders they all open with the same size window and/or pattern? When I open multiple folders up they open up in random sizes and locations on my desktop.

There's no built in way of doing what you want. You might give Default Folder X a try. I've not used it so don't know if it will do what you want. You may have to write an Applescript to do what you want.

Import images from multiple folders at once?

I know that Lightroom handles this as expected, but I cannot work out how to get Aperture to import everything within a folder including all of it's subfolders. For example, my photos are organised by Lightroom in folders per day, eg. 2006-10-12. It's getting tedious having to go through every single folder to import, but if I try selecting multiple folders, or the folder that contains these then none of the photos appear. What is the solution?

Try File->Import->Folders as Projects... and in the Pop-up menu you can choose Import Folders as: Projects and Albums or Folders and Projects from the drop down. You can also choose the sub folder structure. You should be able to choose multiple folders and have all the folders and sub folders organized the way you want. Give it a test try before committing a large number.

Would like to be able to select and move multiple folders in one operation.

Unless I'm missing something really simple here, there doesn't seem to be any easy way of selecting and moving multiple folders at once.
Here's a little example of a simple task I want to do. I presently have a multitude of folders each seperated by the day the photo was taken on. So in my case for a given year I might have maybe 50 folders or so. It's getting a little cluttered, so all I want to be able to do is to take all the folders for one given year and place them in a folder with that year's date. This should be a simple 30 second task, simply select the folders I want moved by either <CTRL> or <SHIFT> clicking them, and then dragging and dropping them into the new folder.
Right now, the only way I've figured how to do this this is to drag and drop each folder one by one, never mind that this is a slow process in itself, but to add to the slowness, whenever I try to drag and drop more than one folder consecutively, I get a message saying ... "Can not move a folder while another move operation is in progress...blah blah". Not that I want this to be the fix, but haven't they heard of queuing?
I've seen people on the net suggest that for this type of task, you should simply move the folders in Windows first and then locate them in Lightroom. Again, unless I'm missing something very simple here, there doesn't seem to be a way to locate multiple missing folders at once. If I have to manually locate each missing folder one by one, then I'd rather just do the drag and drop thing as this would actually be faster.
I've also tried moving the folders from within Windows first and then using the "Synchronize folder" option, yeah sure this works, but I lose any changes that I've done in Develop module. Not what I'm looking for.

Daniel is right. It´s really strange that I can´t move several folders in one move! When I need more space on my laptop I move a group of folders (one folder for every photosession) to an archive. Therefore I really would like to move them in one click, not "baby-sitting" the move of each folder.

Potential [BUG] in PS Touch for Android, v. 1.7.5; can't select multiple images for export in different folders

Can anyone repro this; it's somewhat situational depending on how you organize your projects:
In the project selection user interface, go to export (5th icon from upper right) > choose a desired destination (like Save to Gallery or Camera Roll). Choose a project.
If you have projects residing in multiple folders, try and navigate to another folder by using the "back arrow" icon in the upper left. Once you're out of the folder you just left and try to choose another, PS Touch simply does not respond. (It doesn't lock up; it just doesn't register tapping another folder.) I could have sworn I was able to export images in multiple folder at once before.
Using a Google Nexus 2013 Wi-Fi model with Android Lollipop 5.0.1. I can record a movie if need be illustrating this potential issue.

Update: I've worked out the difference between the two sets of errors I get.
The basic error is this:
ORA-00200: control file could not be created
ORA-00202: control file: '+DBLIVE1'
ORA-17502: ksfdcre:4 Failed to create file +DBLIVE1
ORA-15001: diskgroup "DBLIVE1" does not exist or is not mounted
ORA-15055: Message 15055 not found; No message file for product=RDBMS, facility=ORA
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
However if my init.ora contains the line:
control_files=/opt/oracle/server/10.2.0/dbs/cntrlNEONREL1.dbf
then I instead get the second error:
CREATE DATABASE "NEONREL1"
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01501: CREATE DATABASE failed
ORA-00349: failure obtaining block size for '+DBLIVE1'
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
So basically these must be the same error, just in the second case I'm not trying to put the control file on the ASM so it fails at a different point.
But both errors must be because of the same cause, I suppose.

Shortcut for selecting multiple files within folders

I'm archiving a load of work on to CD and deleting the files off of my server but keeping the folders on there for reference.
Currently, I am having to SHIFT + click / COMMAND + click &drag to select these files and it is taking me forever.
Is there a keyboard shortcut that allows me to select all files within folders rather than just a select all which will select the folders aswell?

I would switch to list view, then click on the "Kind" column which will group the folders together. Now you can click and drag to select a large range of files, excluding the folders, or you can click on the first file, the Shift click on the last file to select a large range of files. At most you would need to do this twice. Once for files listed above folders, and once for files listed below folders.
If you want to use the Terminal, there are powerful Unix commands that can do this, however, that same power when misused can wipe out your disk :-)

Import multiple folders in one step

I'm new to PSE and have just installed version 10: is there a way to import multiple folders from my hard disk into Organizer in one step? Selecting each folder and then selecting all the pictures in it is tedious (I have about 50 folders to import into PSE).

Hi,
You can import photos from multiple folders.
Just click File >> Get Photos and Videos >> From Files and Folders
Now select the folders you want to import photos from (they should be at same level in the directory, say all folders in My Pictures) using Ctrl+Click, tick the checkbox for 'Get Photos from subfolders' if not already checked and then click 'Get Media'.
Hope that will help
Thanks

Shortcut to close multiple folders in List View

In the Finder, in list view, I have multiple folders open (using the triangle by the Folder name). I'd like to be able to close all the open folders at once. I know that holding Option while clicking the red Close button on a window will close multiple windows and I want to do something similar with the folders.
I'm sure I knew how to do this once but can't remember now.
Thanks,
Steve

Command-click or otherwise select all of them, and then push the left arrow key.

How do you select and move more than one bookmark at a time?
Shift+Click does not select multiple items that are next to one another in a list because the items open in firefox before this happens.

Use the bookmarks library. You may use Shift +Click, and Ctrl + Click to create groupings of selected bookmarks to drag and drop.
* one method of opening the bookmarks library is keyboard shortcut <br /> Ctrl+Shift+B (Windows)

Can I export multiple folders at the same time, keeping the album structure

I'm exporting all of my photos from 2010 so far. Is there a way to export multiple folders at the same time, while keeping the existing album structure? It seems that when I try it, iPhoto exports them all to the same folder.
I really don't want to do this one album at a time, and here's why -
I'd like to select all of the albums, then export, using the plugin, to WalMart so that I can order prints.

Check out [iPhotoToDisk|http://www.iphototodisk.com/index.html]
I'd like to select all of the albums, then export, using the plugin, to WalMart so that I can order prints.
Why not upload to Walmart from iPhoto? Check out the first option here:
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
*For Users of 10.5 and later*
You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
*For users of 10.4 and later* ...
Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
*If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
For users of 10.6 and later:
You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu. Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and later:
Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

Selecting multiple images to edit the source code

Hi. Does anyone know if there's a way to select multiple
images in a table and change there source code. The reason why I
ask is that I recently decided to organize my assets folder by
adding subfolders. Naturally, this makes my images appear as broken
links. It's a pretty big site that I'm working on and I would like
to know if there is a faster way than just selecting them one by
one.

If you would have created the folders within DW itself (file
management), and moved images from one
folder to the other, the links would have been adjusted
automatically. Carrying out changes like
this outside of DW will create broken links as you have
found.
Did you backup the original site, if so, and have a lot of
broken links, it maybe worthwhile, going
back to the original and use the file management to
rename/create new folders and move your assets
that way.

Bridge CS6 Script to Find Multiple Images in Multiple folders.

Is it possible to have a script to find multiple images within multiple folders that is on a external hard drive?
For instances I have a external hard drive assuming it's for a library of pictures.
Inside this hard drive has folders named as below
1-1000
1001-2000
2001-3000
3001-4000
If I had a perfect csv file for example that calls out for specific pictures for example 2, 10,1500 and 2000 (remember think big, it may be a larger list than this it could be hundreds or thousands of pictures); is there a script that would allow me to find these images and save a copy of them on to my desktop so that way I don't have to hunt for them in the old fashion way? I can read scripts but writing them is a different story.

If you want to go with Batch I would recommend creating an Action of more or less these steps:
• set the resolution to the same as the background image’s
• change the image from Background Layer to regular Layer if necessary
• convert it to a Smart Object
• add a Drop Shadow Layer Style to the image (do not use Global Angle)
• place the background image (File > Place …)
• move it behind the image layer
• Image > Reveal All
• make Selection from that layer’s transparency (cmd-click its icon in the Layers Panel) and use Image > Crop
• select and transform the image layer to fit the intended position
This would naturally work out best if the images had the same size and proportions.
For the reflection on the floor duplicate the image, flip it vertically, move it in position and reduce its opacity to maybe 10%.
Realistically you may have to hide it partially behind the pillows, a Vector Mask would be an option.

How to Select Multiple Projects?

Another: "Wait a sec -- you mean Aperture still can't...?" question...
So I'm in the Inspector's Projects tab. I've just created and named a new sub-folder, into which I want to drag several dozen projects. I've tried Cmd-clicking; I've tried Shift-clicking. But so far I only seem to be able to select (and then drag) one Project at a time.
Does this mean, in the above scenario, I have to select, drag, and drop each of my 47 (or however many) Projects into that new sub-folder separately -- one at a time?
Please tell me there's a way to select multiple Projects (and multiple Folders for that matter) in order to do some quick re-organizing/re-arranging in the Inspector. Or is this going to be yet another should've-been-there-in-the-Beta-version Feature Request?
Thanks,
John Bertram

I'm also frustrated by not being able to select multiple projects. I guess we should leave feedback.
