I've noticed that all my images from 2015 that I backed up to a separate hard drive only include the JPEG files and not the DNG files. I prefer to have both.
Using PSE 9, EDIT>SELECT ALL, and EDIT>VERSION SET, and VERSION SET>EXPAND ITEMS IN VERSION SET is ghosted out. How can I expand the version sets so that I can SELECT ALL for the back up download ?
The images in my catalog are in a combined version set mode, but SELECT ALL doesn't include the DNG files. Opening each version set by clicking the arrow on the side of the image pane is too time consuming.
Thanks for any help.

When you backup from the organizer, the restore includes all files, not only the 'top of stacks' or the 'top of version sets'.
I don't have version 9, but try this:
- use the shortcut Ctrl Alt V to select all version sets (or the menu Find)
- Select All (Ctrl A)
- right click one thumbnail and wait a few seconds until you get a contextual menu, choose 'version sets'
- your options to expand should be available.

Thanks for the suggestion, but the "Expand all version sets" command is still ghosted. |

While trying to figure things out, I noticed that the "Expand all version sets" command is not ghosted if I select an individual image. If I "Select All" the "Expand all version sets" is then ghosted.

If I "Select All" the "Expand all version sets" is then ghosted. Even in recent versions, the command 'Expand all version sets' is greyed out in the View menu. If you select only version sets, then my workaround works, but only in the contextual menu after right clicking. I'll have to create version sets in older versions like PSE6 to test if that was also the case. Edit: After checking, when several sets are selected, the contextual version set menu option does not allow to 'expand' all version sets, only to change to individual items, flatten or only keep the original version. As I said, that has no effect on the backup, it's only a viewing choice. |
