Sharing Catalogue and Images from a central location

I'm about to buy PSE5. Before spending the money, I'd appreciate any thoughts from more experienced users.
What I'd like to do is have all photos stored on a central file server. From what I've read on these forums, all of the info (ie tags etc) used by PSE5 is stored in the catalogue file. I'd like to have the catalogue also stored on the file server. Each "client" would then point to this location for the common catalogue.
The idea is that multiple computers can access the common photo catalogue. This would also allow me to connect remotely through my vpn. I understand that only 1 user can have access to the catalogue at any given time. Although inconvenient, I could live with this.
For Backup, I will simply duplicate the volume on the server to a remote location. I don't have a lot of faith in applications that attempt to do their own backup.
Will PSE5 allow to work as above ?
Any thoughts, comments, suggestions would be appreciated.

Sounds like you have the basics down. Just an FYI-somewhere I read (but can not find) some Adobe disclaimer that Elements is not intended as a networked application. I think this is more a means of abating any potential complaints, not as a carved in stone "It will not work".
I think all should work as you describe, but I have no hands-on with a similar setup. Hope all works for you.

  • Images I move from one folder into another are disappearing, at first it was occurring immediately if I did not copy and paste the images. Today however I found out that images I had been using for days just up and vanished from their new location.

    Images I move from one folder into another are disappearing, at first it was occurring immediately and only if I did not copy and paste the images. Today however I found out that images I had been using for days just up and vanished from their new location. A few of these images had copies in another folder that remained and the ones I couldn't find may or may not have ever had copies. I had backed up my system with time machine recently as well, so I went into the backup to retreive the lost images. When I searched and found the backup copies I got the error "the file alias cannot be opened because the original cannot be located". The crazy thing is that the images that remained on my computer did not give me the same error and opened like they should.
    In short images that I am creating, saving, and using are disapearing so epically that even time machine versions are affected when retrieval is attempted. Any suggestions as to what I could be doing wrong without realizing it? Or perhaps other people have had similar bugs that are software related and have a solution?

    Hi Kevin,
    I understand what you tried to do but it doesn't work that way. Swapping drive names will just mess things up.
    You should be able to reconnect the files though: in the Locate Referenced Files dialog make sure you click the Show Reconnect Options button — this will give you access to all the connected drives. Locate one of the files and hit Reconnect All. Should do the trick.

  • I have a new lion server and 4 lion laptops. The laptops loose connection to the shared documents and printers from the server after roughly 1 hour. By disconnecting and re-connecting wireless the connection is regained to shares and printers

    I have a new lion server and 4 lion laptops. The laptops loose connection to the shared documents and printers from the server after roughly 1 hour. By disconnecting and re-connecting wireless the connection is regained to shares and printers. We can still surf the web when it goes down.

    Ok 1st one. The warning restriction message relates to this line in main.cf:
    smtpd_helo_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated  permit_mynetworks  check_helo_access hash:/etc/postfix/helo_access  reject_non_fqdn_hostname  reject_invalid_hostname  permit reject_invalid_helo_hostname
    The last reject occurs after the single word "permit" and is ignored.
    However, that's not the problem.
    I'm not exactly sure what's happening, but this might be a clue.
    It would appear that either postfix is not being able to create the socket for private/policy or it's somehow created with the wrong permissions.  You might need to ramp up the debug level to get a better idea.
    You could check if it's being created by "netstat -a | grep private/policy" in terminal.
    My guess is that it's not being created because there is no setup statement in your master.cf file, but I don't understand why postfix would be looking for it if it isn't set up.  Private/policy I think relates to grey listing.  Maybe gives you a hint.

  • How can I erase the residual background text and images from the backside of a scanned page?

    How can I erase the residual background text and images from the backside of a scanned page?
    Also, I wanted to know what each subscriptions included as far as my question above is concerned?
    I am trying to edit a scanned page (pdf file) by changing some words and erasing the background from the page that is showing through it since the paper is so thin and want to know which subscription to buy in order to complete these tasks?

    This cannot be done in Reader. I think you will need software like Photoshop. You may be able to get buy with Photoshop Elements, but I haven't used recent versions of that software. Using either software this will not be an automated task.

  • Question re Accessing catalogues and files from an external hard drive in Elements 6.

    Having just acquired an ehd, I have successfully carried out a trial back up of an Elements 6 2000 picture catalogue from an XP based PC, using the Elements 6 full back-up process. This process is intended to be used eventually to transfer this and other catalogues onto a new Windows 8 PC installed with Elements 11.
    However, in the interim I would also like to be able to access the picture files and the catalogue data on the ehd from a Vista based laptop which also has Elements 6 installed. Can you please advise how to do this without carrying out a full restore process that would load all of the files onto my laptop's hard drive.
    In transferring the picture files to the ehd I also seem to have lost the original file structure that was on my PC, as folders have been renamed numerically and are all held individually in the main folder of the ehd. Whilst this doesn't matter too much whilst the files remain on the ehd, provided the catalogue still knows where to find them, has the original file structure been permanently lost, or can I recreate it when I eventually restore the files and catalogue on the new Windows 8 PC?
    I'm anxious to get this process right as I have a much larger catalogue to similarly back-up and transfer, once I have acquired the new PC, and was hoping to be able to similarly access this catalogue by my laptop from the ehd as there is insufficent hard disk space on my laptop to hold all the 20,000 files involved.
    Please help
    Gardener 179

    Thanks for your help re my original questions. 
    Reassured regarding not having lost the file structure of my pictures, and bearing in mind the relatively small catalogue I had backed up, I thought that rather than restoring by leaving the picture files on the EHD, I would after all restore to the laptop hard drive, as a trial run before dealing with my main catalogue. 
    The restore was successful but raised a number of further issues that I would appreciate your advice on:-
    1) The original catalogue name was not used in the restoration process. The restored catalogue on the laptop has simply been named "Pictures". Is this normal and if I now rename the restored catalogue will this create problems with any subsequent supplementary backups of the catalogue?
    2) In restoring the catalogue I heeded the Adobe Help and specified the Vista folder C:\Users\Maurice\Pictures as the location for the picture files rather than simply restoring the original XP folder structure. However, since I also wanted to retain the lower level folder structure of my XP files (which are basically date files) I then specified to "Retain the Original Folder Structure". This has resulted in the full XP folder structure being created within \Pictures on the laptop.
    Is it possible to avoid this situation occurring, or will I have to remove the unwanted XP sub-folder structure from the laptop and reconnect the thumbnails in the Photoshop catalogue to the new file locations? Also if I have to move files in this way will I once again have problems with any subsequent restorations of the same catalogue?
    I have also a couple of supplementary questions re the initial backup to the EHD which I have now looked at more closely:-
    1) The original XP catalogue has 1853 picture files, (and this is identical to that subsequently restored on the laptop), yet in backing up the catalogue to the EHD it seems that in excess of 2200 picture files have been created. Why is this?
    2) As previously advised the pictures are held on the EHD numbered sequentially as "b000001" etc, and due to my selecting the EHD top level root folder as the destination for the back up are held in F:\. Should I have created a new folder, say "Backup 1" on the EHD, and then specified this as the destination folder, as I am concerned that on backing up further catalogues the existing picture files will get overwritten and the Photoshop Backup and Catalogue files confused with previous backups? If so can I move the existing back up files to a new folder now without causing any problems?
    Finally could you confirm what would have happened to the folder structure on the EHD had I carried out the Restore process by locating the picture files on the EHD but retaining their original file structure. Would the picture files have been copied into their original file structure for use by the restored catalogue and the duplicate backup files left unaltered, or would the backup picture files have been replaced by the restored file structure? Also would the "catalogue file" be transferred to the Laptop C:\ drive in this process or would this also stay on the EHD and be accessed from there by Photoshop?
    Sorry for all the questions but I really want to fully understand what is going on before risking doing anything to move my main catalogue.

  • OEM12c Job - Run a SQL Script from a central location against multiple targets

    Hi All:
    I need to execute a SQL script that can be run as OEM Job against multiple targets from a single location so that the output csv files are all in that central location. My problem is that the sql script job documentation says "Make sure that the script file is installed in the appropriate location on all targets". Is anyone aware of a way I can do this so that the SQl script is executed from a location on my OMS console?

  • I want to embed text AND image from same XML file

    Hey,
    I got following problem:
    I want to put 1 image AND my text in 1 external XML file.
    I can load either one of them in seperate XML files.
    I need this because I want my content to be scrollable on my website and with this my image has to scroll with my text.
    I got following AS3 put in now:
    (ACTIONSCRIPT3.0)
    //LOADING EXTERNAL XML & IMAGE//
    var xml:XML;
    var urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("externaltext/welkom_content.xml");
    var urlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
    urlLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.TEXT;
    urlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, urlLoader_complete);
    urlLoader.load(urlRequest);
    function urlLoader_complete(evt:Event):void {
        xml = new XML(evt.target.data);
        welkom_content_text.text = xml.toXMLString();
    //LOADING EXTERNAL PICTURES//
    var xmlData:XML=new XML();
    var pHeight:Number = 200;
    var pWidth:Number = 200;
    var listLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader( new URLRequest("externaltext/testxmlimage.xml") );
    var picLoader:Loader = new Loader();
    listLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, gotList);
    function gotList(evt:Event):void {
       var xmlData:XML = XML(listLoader.data);
       var numImages:Number = xmlData.pix.length();
       var stImage:String = xmlData.image
    picLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, gotPic);
    picLoader.load( new URLRequest(stImage) );
    listLoader.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, gotList);
    function gotPic(evt:Event):void {
    var thisBmp:Bitmap = Bitmap(evt.target.content);
    thisBmp.x = 0;
    thisBmp.y = 0;
    var thisWidth:Number = thisBmp.width;
    var thisHeight:Number = thisBmp.height;
    thisBmp.scaleX = pWidth/thisWidth;
    thisBmp.scaleY = pHeight/thisHeight;
    addChild(thisBmp);
    picLoader.contentLoaderInfo.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, gotPic);
    (/ACTIONSCRIPT3.0)
    And my XML file for the text content is as following:
    (XML TEXT FILE)
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    .... ALL OF MY CONTENT
    (/XML TEXT FILE)
    And for my image the XML file is as following:
    (XML IMAGE FILE)
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <imagelist>
    <image>externaltext/testpicxml.jpg</image>
    </imagelist>
    (/XML IMAGE FILE)
    Does anyone know how to fix this and how to do it?
    Thanks in advance!
    Every help is appreciated!

    Thanks!
    And again... I'm doing some things wrong.. I feel dumb!
    Trying to make a website in ASP.NET almost whole day, so my head isn't set to AS3 at all..
    My code now to embed XML looks like:
    var xml:XML = new XML();
    var XMLURL:String = "externaltext/welkom_content_pic.xml";
    var myXMLURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest(XMLURL);
    var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(myXMLURL);
    var page:Sprite = new Sprite();
    myLoader.addEventListener("complete", urlLoader_complete);
    function urlLoader_complete(evt:Event):void {  
    addChild( page );
    page.addChild( welkom_title_text );
    page.addChild(  welkom_content_text );
    page.addChild(  welkom_image_holder );
    xml = new XML(evt.target.data);   
    welkom_title_text.text = [email protected]();   
    welkom_content_text.text = xml.item.toString();       
    //use URLLoader to load the image from the path [email protected]()
    Probably set some things wrong..
    And what exactly do I have to set to load my image with it?
    We were all a beginner once.. but I'm the uber annoying beginner I think... hehe
    I probably won't be answering untill thursday, because I got a day off, so..
    Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • How to block movement type 261 and 262 from several storage locations

    Dear Expert,
    Can we block the  261 and 262 movement type from several storage locations? These storage locations are not affected by the MRP run, where for the materials that have been moved to these storage locations their existance are not count. These storage locations could not be used for confirmation production order, therefore i want to block  261 and 262 movement type from these storage locations.
    Thanks
    Pauline

    Dear Pauline,
    if my understanding is correct abt ur query,
    1) you want in confirmation screen, Consumption should happen only from one storage location
    2) Rest all storage locations should not be allowed
    3) Maintain Storage location in BOM component view, in mass you can maintain in CEWB
    4) Now GO with SHD0, Make storage location field as Out put only, for CO11N Transaction
    Plz refer this link for SHD0 Demo

  • Can I generate html and images from the same script?

    I am trying to create a script that generates both html and gif images. Is there a way using the multipart mime content type to create a single stream that includes both html and images?

    No. Facing pages has been removed from Pages 5 along with 100 other features.
    If you want to view two parts of the same document you will need to rename a copy and place two windows side by side, which is hampered by Pages 5's bloated use of screen real estate.
