Photoshop Elements :: Organizer 12 Rename Folders?
Feb 5, 2014
Is there any way to rename folders which appear in the elements organizer? When a do a right/click or Control/click while pointing to a folder, I see a "rename" option but it is grayed out.
Is there a way to have the organizer folders set up the same was as Windows Explorer? I have a main folder called Family with sub folders for all the years and in each of the subfolders there could be other subfolders. It wouldn't allow me to click on main folder and get all sub folders. I had to open main folder and then it shows all folders and sub folders separately. They are no longer nested.
Along the same lines, I wanted to create an album of Family with all subfolders, but that doesn't work.that is definitely a short coming which is why I never have used the organizer program, but just PSE for editing.
Have just upgraded from Elements 9 to Elements 10 and used the File -> Rename function to rename 3000 files with a new Base name beginning 'Base' the process reported it had completed and did not provide any additional messages - but checking the result not all files were renamed and a large number were left behind with the original Base name.
I just downloaded Elements 12 and when i imported photos from Iphoto, I created multiple folders for the same event. I simply want to merge multiple folders into one folder. Can I do that even tho I am in a Trial version?
When I opened my Photoshop Elements 11 Organizer all of my folders/albums were gone. There was an error message that said the media files had been moved since import and were now gone with no backup. There was a button for RECONNECT which I hit...but all the computer will do is search for the missing files for hours.
I have several duplicates of photos that I somehow created. I need to delete lots of duplicates. I see how to do it one folder at a time. However I have hundereds ! There must be a way to select more than one folder at a time for deletion. How or if it can (or cannot) be done ?
How do I remove multiple folders from Elements Organizer 12, without deleteing the folders?
I imported all my pictures into Organizer. As it turns out, that included dozens of subfolders containing near-duplicate images, which now all show up in Organizer. That is because I previously used Google Picasa, which backs up the unprocessed original images into a subfolder called .picasaoriginals. I want to remove all these .picasaoriginals folders, but the only wny I can find to do it is to right-click each one individually, click Delete Folder, then confirm in the dialog box. I can't find any way to multi-select the folders.
Also, I have two of these folders that appear shaded in the folder list, where the option to delete is greyed-out. The contents report as not found, and my guess is that the folders have been deleted from the disk. How do I get rid of these from the folder list in Organizer?
Is it possible to make a new folder inside organizer? Rather than having to make the folders in Finder(OSX)/my Computer (win) and then import them....?
I have just transferred all my files from my computer to the Organiser and I notice that there are quite a few duplicates appearing in the folders. Is there a quick way to delete the duplicates?
I am trying to copy photos from one folder to another, leaving them in the original folder and have them show in the organizer in the new folder.
I find I can duplicate the photo and then drag and drop it, but each step takes literally a minute to complete (in explorer it is 1 second or less). To move a hundred photos one at a time to different folders would take quite a while.
so I tried to pull them in from the FILE button get new files and it won't because the photo exists in another folder in the catalog.
How can you have the organizer show photos in multiple folders, is it possible
while storing custom sections in the content center we made a typing error . Is there a way to rename the category which already contains several families?
I have just started using Photoshop and have uploaded all my photos from my computer's hard-drive, and am displaying them using the 'Folders' view in Organizer. Unfortunately, all the photos are being displayed twice - once within 'Pictures' and once within 'Macintish HD'>'Users'>'Amy'>'Pictures'. I would like the photos to appear only once so that I know which set I am working from.
How do I transfer the entire organizer of Elements 9 to the empty organizer in Elements 12? By the way, Elements 9 is so defective, it will not even let me back up my organizer in 9. The 9 organizer would let me select a photo, bring it into the editor, print it and then it would crash... then I had to start all over again... the darn thing crashes as it was prone to problems that adobe ignored. Is it better to just re-load all the photos from a fresh folder that is on my desktop? There are 5,000 !
I'm using PE9. Every time I go to the Organizer (even after switching to another program briefly) the Update box appears, searching Watched Folders for new pics. It always finds them, frequently the same, imports them and then tells me they're already in the Organizer. During this process, which may last 5-15 minutes, I can't use the program.
Is there a program that can rename a new file to match another file name (They are in 2 different folders)
What I have is hundreds of PDF files and I have to rename each of them to match the name of an existing file in another folder. Retyping the names is killing me. I hope to find a program to click on one to match another.
When I click on the name edit box of a layer in the layers palette it changes from grey to white then immediately changes to grey and I cannot type into it. The same thing happens if I right click the layer and choose Rename Layer from the context menu. What must I do to rename a layer? This worked perfectly in PSE 9 but seems to be a bug now.
In Photoshop Elements 10 running on a Windows 7 (64bit) machine, I have stored my photos on a NAS, the catalogue itself is on my Windows desktop machine. After having renamed the NAS outside of PSE, I can't find out how to reconnect my photos.... The NAS (the old NAS name) is now shown as an offline medium. how to reconnect them?
When I place my CF card into the reader PSE opens and displays all the photos on the card the problem is they are out of order. I take volleyball photos and use the burst often The files are numbered properly by the camera but PSE seems to get them mixed up. When I import and renamer them PSE thakes them in the order they are shown and they are then renumbered out of order causind many shots to be out of order. I have never had this problem before. I have been using PSE 6 up thru 10 now and this is the first time I have had this happen. Last season I wasusing PSE9 and all my bursts sequences are in purfect order.
Is it possible to have Lightroom rename the source images according to my custom naming convention?
I just imported 278 photos and they are all correctly renamed within Lightroom however the source files retained the original Canon generated names. I want to rename them for backup/in case I ever decide to stop using Lightroom/etc.
I always work via folders, click on it and see images as thumbnails to then work from, but it decided today not to play anymore. I cannot view folders at all. which settings should I check to reactivate this function?
I just purchased PS Elements 12 to replace old PS Album 2.0. When I installed Elements, I assumed that it would transfer all old PS folders and tags, but it didn't. How do I move all these old folders over to new soflware?
I've had Elements 11 for some time and can't use it as I can't seem to find a way to import an existing folder structure of images. It imports it flat, with every subfolder and parent folder listed on the same level, so my organisation is shot to hell. I'm sure it's me being dumb, (but in fact it's Elements being incredibly un-intuitive) but how to import an existing folder structure with many images, retaining the structure after import? Actually thinking about it, I can barely remember how to import at all, I found it quite difficult to achieve and I think I might have drag and dropped some files?
I opened a file within Elements (originally created in Photoshop) that has folders within the layers but unable to expand folder or edit the layers within Elements? How do I work with the folder within Elements?
