When I used PSE 11 all my files were displayed in Media and I wish to continue that practice now that I've adopted version 14.
How do to I stop files entering the People, Places and Events views? And finally for now, how do I move the files in those views to Media and prevent the same thing happening again? |

All my pictures are in media. For the first time(you prompted me to to look) I clicked on People, Places and Events. However PSE figured out how to put things there makes no sense to me. I have nothing in People, Places and Events have things listed but no names assigned to them. PPE contains the same files as I have in media, not different ones. You will need to do some research as to how PSE populates PPE but I would just use the Media option and not bother with the rest of them.
The catalog I looked at has all my recipes in it so PSE is very confused assigning them to Places and Events. I can see a use for this, kind of a replacement for album, maybe even some tagging. I'll look into this more sometime but for me it is a non-issue.

I rarely use the Organizer, but my understanding is that all your photos should show up under Media. The People, Places and Events tabs look at tags assigned to your photos to filter what pictures you see.

How do to I stop files entering the People, Places and Events views? And finally for now, how do I move the files in those views to Media and prevent the same thing happening again? Not easy to explain in a few lines... Let's start with the Elements 11 version of the organizer which solved a number of old bugs in the 'folders' view and introduced new features at the same time. Perhaps to work like other competitors, Adobe choose to create separate categories, with distinct properties for what was available before. Before, you had 'pre-defined' master categories like places, people and events. You could rename them, ignore them, create you own ones, animals, sport... All those categories had the same properties. PSE11 created : - Places, linked to geotagging - People, linked with people recognition - events linked to special days When upgrading to a newer Organizer version, the catalog conversion recognizes the names of those 3 categories and stores them in the new schema. I was in a special situation when PSE11 came out. I had renamed my default categories with the default French translation. The conversion ignored all my old categories and kept them 'standard' as before. Good for me, since I don't have geotagging, I don't want people recognition at all, and I want to keep my subcategories hierarchies freely. The result is that I am using the catalog exactly like before. Than means I am always in the 'Media' tab. |

Same with me. I am always in media, all my pics are there and this was the first time I went to Places and Events, which Adobe has populated based on I don't know what considering all I have are pdf's of recipes.

Thank you all for your responses although I have to say all four seem to carry the message I feared might come back: that I shall just have to live with it!!
At least I am now doing something positive about sorting out my problems, moving TIFF files from F: to M:, but the right side of the screen looks very messy indeed with the old tags structure at the top, the Views tags below them, plus a pile of imported tags which is growing steadily.
We live in interesting times.

You can always close down the structure on the right hand side so that your Imported Tags (for instance) are reduced to a single line. Just click on the little downward arrow head, it turns to pointing right and hides all the tags.

Thank you for that, ChrisAnn, but sooner or later I've got to work out what useful function they are performing on my computer and if the answer is in the negative, then to the bin they go!!

I was using PSE 10 and I have just replaced it by PSE 14. I am not familiar with PSE 14 yet. However I verified that all the tags I had put in PSE 10 were transferred properly in PSE 14. All the photos I had taged are accessible in the Media Tab, by tag, accordingly to a hierarchy I already know since I have chosen it. For the moment, for my purposes, I see no reason to use People, Places or Events tabs. They look to me as some kind of predetermined filters. The "Find by details (metadata)" option available in the menu bar offers good search possibilities. Face recognition gets on my nerves; I think I disabled it by unchecking the "Run face recognition automatically", Media-Analyses, Preferences, in the Edit Menu.

When I read about new stuff, it makes me glad that I have old stuff.
What I like most about our E7 Organizer is the tags system that I can manipulate as I please.
