View Full Version : possible to rebuild organizer?

I recently changed/ renamed some of the folders on my PC. I've noticed a few times that the PSE organizer will not be able to find a file and will give me an option to find it manually and re-link.

I've also noticed that sometimes (every time?) when I save a file (.psd or .jpg) that the new version doesn't show up in the organizer and I have to manually import it.

If I move / change / rename a LOT of folders on my PC, then import everything into the organizer, would that effectively rebuild the organizer? I wouldn't have to one-by-one relink and I would be confident I had all the pictures imported.

Thanks
Lori

Lori,
If you move and rename files and folders using the Organizer, then it will not loose track of the images and you do not have to do any reconnecting or anything else.

If you have only moved the photo files to a different directory, and haven't changed the photo file names, you can tell the Organizer to reconnect all missing files by going to Edit-->Reconnect-->All Missing Files

Note that this can take quite a while to complete as Elements will search your entire hard drive for the files, one at a time
