catalogue / thumbnails

[udu]

hi there

as i have seen in the catalogue file (*.psa) all information about the pictures and tags are stored. but where are the thumbnails stored? if i take the catalogue and move it to another pc the thumbnails are not there, so they must be stored in another directory.

You are correct that the thumbnails are not in the catalog.

The following techdoc at the Adobe site includes identification of the folder where the thumbnails reside

Of course in your case, you want to copy the tn. # .cache file instead of deleting it. You did not say which version of Elements you are running. What I have observed is that Elements 3 is tn.4.cache and Elements 4 is tn.5.cache.

hi barb

thx exactly that it was. therefore i didn't find the thumbnails when i searched for *.jpg. do you know if it is possible to move the cache to another directory?
