Viewing/Finding images by folder location

Is there any way to find or view images from a specific folder and it's sub-folders?
I've used the "Folders" view, but that only shows images from the folder selected and not from sub-folders.
I've used the "Find by filename...", but that only seems to search on the filename and not the path.
I've used the "Search" text box but again that only seems to use the filename and not the path.
I've tried the online help and found nothing helpful.
The reason for this is that I have all my family photos in a couple of hierarchies under "\\server\photos" and "d:\my_folder\pictures\photos", some club photos in another hierarchy under "d:\brownies\photos" and a load of other stuff (desktop backgrounds etc) in another hierarchy under "d:\my_folder\pictures\other".  What I want is a search term that I can save as smart album that will pick out all images from those hierarchies.  The best I've got so far is to manually tag each file using the "folder view" tree but this is not automatic (I have to do it each time I import pictures) and laborious (because it doesn't include sub-folders when you select a folder).
I'd be very grateful if anyone has any tips that they could offer.
James.

No, that's one of the strange limitations of the PSE10 Organizer.  "Folder View" no longer includes subfolders, and the bizarre thing is that the Find...By Details (Metadata) query builder does not allow using just the path. (!?!)

  • OneStep: cant find imported footage (folder location of captured data)

    Hi,
    I have used oneStep to create a DVD, after it automatically imported the footage from my camera, I accidentally pressed 'cancel' durring the compression process, and it stoped. Now I want to recover my imported footage (about 1 hr of dv). Problem: I have no clue where the data is! I checked /tmp and its not there! I have about 20GB less disk space on my drive now, but I can't seem to recover the file or free up the space! I'm not even sure what I would search for!
    Anyone have an idea?
    Saul.

    I had the same problem. I found the file using a freeware program you can download here called "What size"
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/21149
    I found the file under the private section in a temp file. I hope this helps.

  • Elements 9 organizer, folder location view & copying images

    I am using photoshop elements 9.0.3 under windows 7.
    In the "folder location" view, when I click on a folder I see pictures that belong to a completely different folder.
    How can I solve this problem?
    Also, is it possible to copy an image from one folder to another from within the organizer?

    If you always move images within Organizer you will have no problems.
    Problems only arise when users move images behind Organizers back e.g. using Explorer or Finder.
    Remember to select the Display button and thumbnail view to search the entire catalog otherwise your search will be limited to a single folder which matches the folder on your OS.

  • Firefox saves images to wrong location, but only when using "View Image"

    For a while, I have had the problem above. I can save images just fine if I don't use the "view image" function first, with the images going to the intended folders.
    Just to clarify, unlike some of similar problems I have seen described here, I am perfectly happy with Firefox remembering where I wish my pictures to go, on a site to site, or model to model (within the same site) basis.
    The problem lies in that if I use the "view image" function, either in a new tab, or in the existing one, Firefox will often prompt me to save in a random folder where I have previously saved a picture. It will even suggest folders that I have not accessed for days.
    Example:
    I save image A to folder A, by right clicking the image and selecting "save image as".
    I then (immediately after this), right click image A again, select "view image", then right click the resulting picture, and select "save image as". Now there is a fine chance that it want me to save the image to some other (previously used) image folder, even if I have not used the folder for a while, and even though I have just saved the same image to folder A.
    This problem persists with multiple image file types, on multiple sites (I just tried it with someones avatar in this forum, and it wanted me to put it with my holiday pictures from 3 weeks ago).
    I appreciate any assistance you can give - jinxie
    FYI; If I "one-click" a file (like an mp4) to download it, it goes to my main / default download folder as normal.

    This is because Firefox will track where you have saved images or other files from the website domain. Then whenever you select to save the file to your computer, Firefox will start the Save As wizard in the latest folder that you have used last time.
    Here is an example:<br>
    If you save an image from the domain <code>123.com</code> into the folder <code>123</code> it will save there. Then you save an image from the domain <code>456.com</code> to the folder <code>456</code>. Next you save a different image from the domain <code>123.com</code>. The save as wizard will assume that you want to save it with the other image from that domain and will automatically start in the <code>123</code> folder.<br>
    This can make saving files faster and more organized, however not everyone wants this feature enabled.
    To disable this feature you can do the following:
    #Go to <code>about:config</code> in Firefox
    #Locate the <code>browser.download.lastDir.savePerSite</code> string
    #Change the value to <code>false</code>
    This should fix the issue, but please report back if it doesn't.

  • 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.

  • Viewing images in folder view

    All of my images appear in the timeline however they don’t show up in the folder view.  What up with that?

      Click on a folder in the left hand pane. You may need to click on the small plus or minus icons to expand and contract the folder tree.
    You can only view one folder at a time in PSE9 or PSE10. Earlier versions let you scroll through the entire folder location view.
     

  • Lightroom does not automatically find images that have been moved within same parent folder/drive

    Lightroom does not automatically find images that have been moved within same parent folder/drive...I moved my catalog and photos to shared drive so that all users can access and when I moved photos within parent folder lightroom did not automatically adjust like in video I watched.  I had to manually locate.  Is there a fix for this?

    I haven't watched that video, but if you move photos in your operating system ... Lightroom does NOT automatically find these photos. Finding photos that have been moved is NOT a feature of Lightroom. So, there is no fix for this.
    You would have to tell Lightroom where the photos are now located, as explained in the link from 99jon
    If you must move photos, move them inside of Lightroom, not in your operating system, or better yet — don't move them, and use Lightroom tools such as keywords and other metadata to achieve organization.

  • How can I compare a (partial) export folder from iPhoto to an event in iPhoto to find images not exported?

    How can I compare a (partial) export folder from iPhoto to an event in iPhoto to find images not exported?  Or better yet, how can I export selected events to a new iPhoto library or an existing iPhoto library with events, titles and keywords intact?

  • Sort files in Finder column view for the current folder only?

    Hi,
    I don't really understand how finder sort settings work, even after using OS X since it first came out. Maybe someone can give me a hand.
    I'm trying to sort files inside one specific folder according to their name decending. In general I have arranged them by label and sorted by file name ascending. Every time I try to use the settings in the "display options" (cmd+J), this applies also to several other folders. Even if I right-click on that particular folder to enter the settings.
    Isn't it possible to apply different sort/arrange options to individual folders?
    p.

    For column view, there is only one arrange/sort, no matter where you are in the hierarchy. It is based on what the arrange/sort was set on the original folder opened.
    In the View Options, the Brows by ??? view checkbox controls what happens when you open a folder from that view. If it is set, then the folder opens in the same view as the enclosing folder. If unchecked, and you have set a view on a folder, that folder will open in the desired view.
    Again, this does not apply in column view. Column view has only one arrange/sort for the entire hierarchy.

  • Finding files by searching folder location.

    Can I find photos by searching folder location, using Photoshop Elements 10?  I used to use that method frequently inversion 5, but don't see how to do it in version 10.  I am using Windows 7.

  • PSE 7 Organizer Folder Location View Unacceptably Slow

    I see there are a lot of intelligent people posting here, so I thought I'd take a stab at explaining my problem.  I recently upgraded to PSE 7 from PSE 6 because of the well documented PSE 6 bug that causes raw files to appear as broken thumbnails.  Now that I am working on PSE 7 I have run into the problem referenced above: trying to operate in Folder Location View in organizer is painfully slow.  Any attempt to switch to Folder Location View from Thumbnail view or attempting to filter anything (by star rating, for example) triggers a long wait - I would say 5-7 minutes - before the action is completed.  I don't have the problem in Thumbnail View, but the problem is I rely on the folder hierarchy for my workflow and having 20,000 plus thumbnails not organized by folder does not help me at all.  I am extremely frustrated!
    I have already repaired and optimized.  From what I've read, rebuilding the thumbnail cache doesn't appear to help either.  Does anyone have any ideas for me?  I really need to be able to use the Folder Location View.  It's bad enough that I may have to go back to PSE 6 and live with the broken raw thumbnails.
    Thanks in advance,
    Dan

    A number of people have reported tha Folder Location view is very slow, in both PSE 6 and PSE 7.  (You're lucky it is fast for you in in PSE6.) In my catalog (13,000 files), PSE 7 takes 30 seconds to switch from Thumbnail view to Folder Location view; but once it's open, it's reasonably zippy.   No one has posted any workarounds here.
    Beware that many people have reported problems with Folder Location view in PSE 6 and 7 showing the wrong contents of folders.   This often happens when you try to search by keyword tags, but some have reported it happening even with no searches applied.
    In general, Adobe seems to treat Folder Location view as the stupid stepchild of the Organizer -- it's buggy, it's slow, and it isn't documented very well. The Organizer's sweet spot is organizing with keywords, albums, stacks, versions sets, dates, captions and other metadata.

  • Video Scenes cannot be seen in Folder Location View

    I recently purchased Adobe Premier Elements 10 and downloaded approximately 80 video clips from my HD camcorder into the Elements Organizer 10.  I wanted to customize the organization of the video files by creating new folders, which I was able to do successfully via the Folder Location view (in the Display options).  Additionally, unknown to me at the time the Auto Analyzer was run and it created "Video Scenes" (i.e., it splits the master file into multiple "scenes" based upon noted shooting information, etc.) from several of my video clips prior to moving the video files to the new file folders that I created.  I have confirmed via the Windows File Manager that all of the video files were moved as I intended.  However, in the Display - Folder Location View, none of the Video Scenes show up, and all of the Video clips (i.e., the ones that the Auto Analyzer didn't split up) are viewable.  (In the Thumbnail view, all files are still viewable.)  Is there a way to correct this? 
    Also, I've noted in the help manuals, etc. that the Auto Analyzer functions can be customized, but I did not see an option that would turn off the creation of Video Scenes.  Is there a way to do this without disabling the Auto Analyzer all together?
    Thanks for any help offered.

    Steve,
    Thanks for your suggestion.  I had checked the Edit/Preferences/Media-Analysis options previously.  As I see them in Elements Organizer 10 they are: (1) analyze photos for people automatically, (2) analyze media for visual search automatically, (3) analyze media for smart tags automatically, (4) all filters, which includes face, audio, blur, brightness and contrast, motion, object motion, and shake, (5) run analyzer on system start up and (6) run analyzer only when system is in idle.  None of these items seem on point in order to stop the creation of Video Scenes.  Am I missing something, or are the options in Elements Organizer 10 different than prior versions.
    Thanks,

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Cannot find my "Pictures folder" in Finder and was using the "all Images" selection to fiddle with my pictures.  Now I think I may have screwed iPhoto up

    Cannot find my "Pictures folder" in Finder and was using the "all Images" selection to fiddle with my pictures.  Now I think I may have screwed iPhoto up

    Hi jamesxio,
    Do you still have the Pictures folder in your home folder? If not, create a new folder in your home folder and name it Pictures. Make sure the iPhoto Library folder is in the Pictures folder.
    Now launch iPhoto with the Option key depressed until you get a message screen. Choose to open another library and navigate to and highlight the iPhoto Library folder. Click the Open button.
    You didn't move anything around or rename anything in the iPhoto Library folder in the finder, did you?

  • Firefox 4.0 is my default browser, and I am receiving a script error message when I try to view online images in Family Tree Maker 2011, a genealogy program. Have not had problems until Firefox 4.0. Can't seem to find a setting in Firefox to fix this.

    Error is as follows: Line: 63 Char: 4344 Error: Unable to get value of the property 'offsetHeight': object is null or undefined Code: 0 URL: http://yui.yahooapis.com/combo?2.8.0/build/yuiloader-dom- event/yuiloader-dom-event.js&2.8.0/build/dragdrop/dragdrop- min.js&2.8.0/build/stylesheet/stylesheet- Do you want to continue running scripts on this page? Y/N buttons."

    I see. Well, I just tried to make IE my default browser, but it did not solve the problem. I receive the same script error when I view the image. (I may not have explained this thoroughly enough at first - I do get to view the image after answering the error message, but the print button embedded in the window doesn't work. Before, I never had a problem with viewing or printing.)
    I imagine that at this point I will either need to communicate this to the IE people, or possibly revert to an older version of IE.
