Elements Image Import Glitch

Posted 02/02/2011 - 20:18 Link
I have Elements 6.0 when I use Photoshops Image Downloader it works fine until Elements opens. When it opens the details shown of the newly imported images are correct, the correct number of files and images are displayed. The problem is the images are usualy Photoshop stock images. Clicking on the "Show All" button only closes that view and usualy opens a folder of Photoshop images, not the new folders/images. I can then open a new folder after scrolling through the folders on the LH side. I am sure when I first used Elements it worked correctly. I have tried total removal and reinstallation of Elements several times with no luck. Any clues as to whats wrong?
If its any help I have a PDF saved of Elements 1st page but dont know how or if I can import it into Photobucket or Pentaxuser.

It sounds as if the programme is possibly looking in one spot for images, and you're putting them somewhere else.

Perhaps check where PSE is looking for your pictures, and either change that directory name, or put your pics in exactly that location?

Is your display settings (top right on main menu) set to Folder Location? Try Thumbnail View, that will display all images in chronological order.

Also, under File/Watch Folders you can specify folders to watch, so that you will be notified if new images are added to these folders, also outside the Elements Loader.

I have tried the sugggestions, a total reinstall of PSE after removing all traces of it from hard drive. But to no avail. So decided time wasted was not worth it. Only concern now is that if and when I upgrade to a later version of PSE the glitch will be carried over. Still better to get out with camera and enjoy photography than worry any more.
Thanks for the suggestions.

Have you tried file>get photos and videos>from files and folders then select where your pictures actually are. You will have specified this in the importer first time you used it, its top right hand corner.

Elements will default to its own folder until you change this.
