I have PSE 13. I have been keeping all the Places that I have been to in a chronological order using dates. Back in February was the last time I was able to get a new Places Tag. In March I started to put places on the map feature and since then every time I click on the big green + sign I get the map showing up rather than a little window enabling me to add a new place.
I would rather have the places tagged than have them on a map if I can only have one of these options. Can I reverse this so that I can once again click on the add a new place and get a window rather than a map showing up.
I've tried unsuccessfully to find an answer in the Elements Organizer Help section so I'm hoping someone out there knows how to do this.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Deuter |

Deuter,
I don't use places but I looked at my PSE 13 and all I get is the map view for adding places, I tried to add a place and it worked fine and showed up in places. Not by date like you want but that might just be me. To me adding places would be a town, street or something, not a date so I understand the map. I really am not sure how you ever got the places to work with a date.
Anyway, have you tried to delete the preferences and rebuild the file. That solves a lot of problems as does doing a repair on the catalog.
Sorry I can't be much help,
Sue

Hi Deuter, and welcome to PSE&M! I don't use places either, sorry. Here is the page about managing Places: Adding Places |

I have been using Places Tags since it first came out on PSE, long before the map aspect came out. Whenever we went some place I would click on the "add a new place" tag, a window would pop up and I could put in the year and the place we were at. Then I could open the places tags and scroll down to a particular year and see all the places we visited for that year. The last entry I made was in Feb after visiting St Lucia and all was fine.
Since I started marking places on the map in March the map pops up instead of the add a new Place Tag window. The places are added down below in the Places column but there is no order/year and I don't see anything in the help section that refers to anything other than the map.
I'm hesitant by maybe I should go back to reset preferences............... ? |

I've never used the Places Tags (although I see that some have automatically been added when I've put someone else's photo into the Organiser). I stick to my old tried and tested method of Keyword Tags and Sub-Categories which I've been using since first buying Elements at version 3 (I think) - despite Adobe changing their name recent upgrades. The map is just intrusive (and always starts up in the USA and I live in the UK and generally holiday in Europe.) This way I can choose which tag(s) to use on every individual photo.
Would it be too difficult/time consuming to change your places tags to Keyword Tags - then you could name them any way you want?
