Visual search unable to search entire catalog from within folders

Photoshop Elements used to let you search your entire catalog while looking at photos in folders. That option does not seem to exist now. Is there a way to get this feature back, or a workaround to use it? I have over 800k photos and growing on my system. For example all my files are sorted by yyyy-mm-dd, I used to be able to be looking at "x" photo in folder 2002-01-05 and tell it to search entire catalog for visually similar photos. I've seen "x" photo in a different folder and want to search catalog for the duplicate. The only way I have found to do this now is through import batches--that's like finding a needle in a haystack with all the photos I have. That was a great feature as I had been able to date photos that I didn't know date on because of the visual similarity option and find duplicates easily.
Thank you,
Photoshop Elements 12, Windows 8.1 system at the moment.
The option was in the preferences section, you could search just that folder or entire catalog.

Sorry I did not respond as I do not appear to be receiving notifications.
I have been doing some more testing around this and find that files over 10gb tend to fail almost immediately where as a 2gb file will get 1/4 of the way through.
My work around is my server has apache ftp server running on it so I use FTP at present (filezilla client). This yields positive results every time and the 10gb file completes in about 4 minutes with mean average speeds of ~20MiB/s (sometimes exceeding 60MiB/s
depending on other network activity) utilising 20-50% of my NIC capability.
There is obviously no issue with disk access or network performance, it appears to be an issue with the copy/paste functionality of Windows 7 itself rather than the use of any APIs by other applications.
I ran the 2 concurrently today and I was seeing much slower transmit times when it was running using windows copy/paste (5-10MB/s) however resouce manager was showing network usage of 30%. Could it be a TCP/IP timeout issue where copy/paste is using an unrealistic
value?
Another run shows copy/paste using an expected amount of 20% while processing at 18MB/s. Still failed.
Thanks

Unable to open CS3 Files from within the application

Good Afternoon
I work as IT Support for company looking after 10 ADOBE Creative Suite 3 end-users.
One of my colleagues is unable to open Illustrator or Photoshop files from within their respective applications, but she is able to open them from outside ok.
I have reinstalled ADOBE CS3 and this appeared to resolve the issue, only for it to return again a day later.
She has no other applications or processes running during her attempt to open a file from within CS3.
She will click on Open and the 'Open File' window will flash up for a split second, then the whole application will be frozen. It is as if the 'Open File' window is there, but isnt there because we cant click on it, but the application thinks it is displaying and so she can not click on anything else. The only way to close the application is to end the process under Task Manager.
While I am sitting here tearing what little amount of hair I have on my head, can anyone point me in the right direction?
Is this a Windows problem or an ADOBE problem do you think?
I look forward to any replies.
Thank you

Hi Bob
Ok...
Opened illustrator but was unable to open the 'Open File' window.
Changed the screen resolution, it suddenly worked!
Changed the screen resolution back to as it was before, it also worked.
What could cause this do you think?
By simply changing the screen resolution and back again, the 'Open File' window displayed itself.
Very bizarre!

Setting up a full contextual search from within folders,document libraries or lists.

Hi Everybody
I have been loooking through all the availdable answers but so far have not seen anything that is wholly relevant to my problem.
I have set up a search on sharepoint 2013 that seems to be working 100% and does a full contextual search from sites and sub-site. My problem is that the client requires a full contextual search to be working from any folder, document library or list. In
other words, if the user is in that specific folder, only results from that folder should come up when doing a search.
I think that maybe the secret is in writing the proper kql script that will automatically incorporate the folder,document library or list name ? Any assistance with setting up the needed variables or maybe pointing me in another direction.....
If possible, I need to do this without any coding ......

Hi Theuns,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to confine the search result to the specific document library or a folder.
I recommend to create a new Result Sources and use {searchTerms} path:http://SERVER/SITE/LIBRARY to limit the scope. Then configure the search page to use the new created Result Sources.
Here is a similar thread for you to refer:

Best regards.
Thanks

Unable to copy/cut/paste from within custom file naming dialogue (in exporting images)

When I go into the export dialogue and select a portion of a file naming scheme, I cannot get it into the clipboard. I had wanted to cut a portion of the specification, export with an amended name, and then paste the original back. I am running the beta in Win7 64-bit.

Advice:
1) Check Copy in sand-boxed app. in 1.6.0_24+.
2) Do not hi-jack the threads of other people. Start a new thread and if you think another thread relates to your problem, link to it.

What is best way to copy the entire LR-3 catalog from an "old" computer to a "new" computer?

I just purchased a new desktop computer and installed LR-3 ver 3.6 on it. I would now like to transfer/copy everything (including negatives) in the LR-3 catalog of my old computer to the new computer. What is the best step-by-step procedure to do so? Should I copy to an external hard drive first and then import to new computer? I have saved a copy of every photo imported to the old computer in an external hard drive but I am not sure if I should use these files or rather export the entire catalog from the old computer to an external hard drive by starting in the library, highlight "All Photographs" under catalog, and then proceed under "file tab, export as catalog". Then import the catalog to the new computer. Any advice?

I would recommend using the Export as Catalog including Negative files to the external and then copy those files and the catalog to the new PC. When you have the catalog and files on the external place them all in one folder to make it easier to move.
100% agree! Export as Catalog. I just did those from Mac to PC and it worked with flawlessly. The only suggestion that I would add would be to divide your catalog into smaller subsections. I had a few thousand images and at times it looked like it was hung. It was difficult to determine if LR was actually doing something. I suspect it would be easier to tell if the catalog it was importing was smaller.

PSE 8 - Coverting My Catalog from Photoshop Album 2.0

My free download PSE 8 begings the conversion of My Catalog (Photoshop Album 2.0) when only 6% of the way into the process it stops giving an error message; "Failed. Try repairing the catalog with the software that created it". Frankly I am not sure where to begin.
My entire catalog, only one by the way, was created with the Photoshop Album 2.0 application. In an attempt to identify what was in need of repair using the slideshow View over all of the photos in my catalog I did identify where some images' were not linked to the actual photo. Any such disconnect I have rectified and am able to view the entire slideshow without interruption suggesting that there is nothing to repair?
Our use of Photoshop Album 2.0 has been unsophisticated. We download our photos from camera/s mainly using the Photoshop application which automatically stores them in the Adobe sub-folder under My Pictures. We then move these into appropriately named separate folders and mapping them onto similarly named Collections within My Catalog. Here we edit and delete where necessary and also caption. Once that exercise is complete, to reduce storage, we go back to My Pictures and remove any duplication resulting from the editing process. As a final test we take a slideshow View of each collection to insure that there are no disconnect.
What can I try next? Is there any diagnostic tool within Elements 8 which can assist in identifying where we need to start with the repair job?

Hi John
Despite successfully running Reconnect and Repair, PSE 8 is still unable to
convert My Catalog from Photoshop Album 2.0. The 'Problems converting
catalogs to PSE 6 or 7' notes suggests that I might need to first migrate to
Elements 5. Can I take you up on the offer find me a copy?
Actually John I may be making life unnecessarily difficult for myself. I
would like to upgrade my Adobe Photoshop software but have some thousands of
photos with captions. Is there a more simple way to migrate photos, edited
photos all with captions into PSE 8?
Regards
Neil

Access own (vendor) catalog from Bid

Hi!
Business scenario: A vendor log in to SRM to respond to a bid invitation and register a Bid.
Question: Is it possible for the vendor to get access to his own Catalog from within the Bid, and link the bid to his own products/prices? If so, how is this customized? (can the vendor set this up himself from the vendor portal)?

To configure the vpn filter you would do something like the following:

Why can't I delete photos from within a smart folder?

I setup smart folders to help me weed out certain types of bad photos. The problem is, now that I have collected these photos I am unable to "move to trash" from within a smart folder. Why do you suppose Apple did this? Every time I find a photo I need to delete, that is inside one of these smart folders, I have to return to the Photos library and try and track it down in there......then move it to trash.
Any ideas?

Perhaps you are hitting the wrong key combination?
Command key is the Apple key. So you should be holding down the Apple key & the option key and while holding hit delete.
Perhaps you are holding down Ctrl instead?
Also, which keyboard do you have? I wonder if there is an issue with the laptop and new iMac shorty keyboards where delete and backspace are treated differently. The new keyboards do a "forward delete" by holding down the Fn key along with delete. Maybe something there is causing an issue?

How to search the entire catalog

Question: I've got loads of folders in my library, and they span over several pages on the Folders section in the Library module. But, when I want to search for a photo using the Library filter, I need to always first, move my mouse and click manually over the Folders section to the top Parent folder before I can do a search on the entire catalog.
I was wondering how you go about searching the entire catalog, but with a quicker solution? I don't want to always have to find the most parent folder and click on it before I do a search across the entire library.
Thanks in advance!

Maybe time to think about re-organising folders into sub-folders? I got into the same position, and then created folders for each year, so I don't see individual folders unless I want to:
If you do that, remember to do it from inside Lightroom (just drag folders around) or Lightroom gets thoroughly confused.

Keyword search of entire catalog

I have many of my photos tagged. When I do a keyword search, it only searches the current directory - not even the sub-directories. How do I get the search to go through my entire catalog?

You are probably trying to do this in Folder Location View.
You need to switch to Thumbnail View.
Both views can be seen from the Display Menu.

Rh9:Unable to view PDF files from search results in Firefox

Is this a Firefox plug-in issue, rather than a Robohelp issue?
Background info:
Using Rh9
Firefox 23.0 (latest version)
Works successfully in Chrome (latest version) and Microsoft IE 8 and IE 9
Using Firefox, I am able to view the test PDF file from within a topic, via a hyperlink. Unable to view the test PDF when it appears within the search results.
Failure behavior
Information message appears at the top of the screen, indicating that "This PDF document might not be displayed correctly."
A button appears: "Open with Different Viewer"
In the main frame, the page is blank except for the Adobe Viewer controls: i.e., zoom, page navigation, download, print, ....
Any ideas?
Thank you,
-bruce.

I think it is an Acrobat issue. I have seen it and with PDFs not linked to Fm or Rh. Sometimes you can see the issue and sometimes you don't. I also have Nitro PDF and that displays the PDF without problems.
If it is a PDF you create, I guess you could try some different settings or use something else to create it to see if the problem goes away.

Search 'Entire Message' in Mail on network account.

Hello -
Recently an issue has come up where my users are unable to choose the "Entire Message" option when performing a search in Mail. "From", "To" and "Subject" all work fine.
All of my users are running latest updates of 10.6 and 10.7 and all are on network accounts. This is not a new problem, but it's a new question that came up a few months ago and I've been scraping for an answer since then.
-I understand that for the "From, To and Subject" search options, Mail handles them separately in the Envelope Index file.
-Spotlight is responsible for the Entire Message option.
-I had to force spot light to index the user folder through terminal using mdutil and specifying "~/". The user folders are not on local storage so Spotlight ignores them.
After forcing mdutil to index - a spotlight search will return results as I would expect - searching entire message but, Mail still does not allow for the Entire Message search option.
Please let me know if more information would help. Thank you in advance.

Maybe I just needed to talk it out, but I think I've sorted it out on my own.
I went to the Account Prefs > Offending Mailbox and under the heading:
"Keep copies of messages offline for viewing" from "Dont Keep Any..." to "All..."
Then I went to Mailbox>Rebuild in the menubar and Bang!
Results!
Now I'm just waiting for the rebuild to finish to see what kind of hit my HD is going to take.

I second the whole iTunes folder approach.
If for some reason you have split the media folder from the library files then the media folder needs to restored to the same path it used to have while the library files can be copied into the music folder of your new profile.
If in dobut, backup up the entire Documents and Settings folder before wiping the infected drive, but be selective about what you restore as many viruses drop active components capable of reinfecting the compuer in the temp folders and internet caches. It is much easier to backup more than you need than to discover after the fact that you no longer have access to some vital project you'd been storing in a folder on the desktop.

"search entire message" button in mail is sometimes grayed out

Hi, Recently I've noticed that sometimes when I do a search in mail the button to search entire message is grayed out and unclickable. This started happening in the last few days. Just a minute ago I tried to do a search and the button was gray, then I went to Safari and logged into Apple support, went back to mail and typed a new search, and all of sudden the button is clickable again. Any ideas? Running 10.6.7 on a 15" Macbook Pro. Thanks...

Ernie,
I collected the info you require - see below. Along the way I deduced that the problem may be a corrupted Spotlight index. As you'll see below attempting to remove Library or Mail from the index failed. I am currently rebuilding the entire volume index...
