I know this sounds silly --- but my catalog has vanished. PSE6 still works, except that my FOLDER view is still non-functional (in that the images do not correspond to the specified folders). But, yesterday, I wanted to back up. No catalog to be found in catalog manager. It correctly has the dot on Custom Location, G:\ but the excerpt from Windows Explorer is empty, cold, grey.
I go to BROWSE and easily locate G:\ and the catalog folder should be visible at root. Not so, although all the other expected folders are.
I go to windows explorer and I find no "catalog" folder but I do see a "catalog.psedb" and the related files. If I try to open the psedb.file (98,319 KB and correctly showing modification through today), I am given PSE6 (Organizer) as the first choice of executable app.
If I go back to Catalog Manager I can find the "my Catalog" folder under C:\D&S\all users\application data\adobe\photoshop elements\catalogs\My catalog but that is not my active catalog. And never has been. Ideas anyone?
Intel P35 quad, Gigabyte GA-EP36-DS4 mobo, XFX nVidia 8600GT, 2x750 SATA drives, 2x2GB RAM sticks, 32bit XP (SP2). New, very clean machine. RESTORE used to bring pre-existing catalog + images over and there have been glitches. I'm pretty sure I finished (over days) REPAIRing and OPTMISing this catalog last month.
Also, CONVERT does not see this psedb either.
